Chapter 273 Miracle Medicine
Staff began distributing signs.
Ye Jie took the pink tag and immediately put a numbered label on it; Jia Yao took the blue tag in his hand and examined it over and over again, as if looking for some hidden button;
Su Zhining grabbed it immediately. The brand with gold glitter was very high-profile.
Yao Yingzhe took the green sign and put it in his trouser pocket.
Xu Ying had already greeted the bumblebees in the workshop in advance, so they could only dance on the spot and could not take the guests directly to the flowers with nectar.
Xu Ying looked around at the four guests.
"Okay, everyone, get ready—" She pulled out an exquisite bee flute from her waist, "Three, two, one!"
Following a clear flute sound, more than twenty furry bumblebees flew to the center of the greenhouse, and the "buzzing" sound of their wings vibrating immediately filled the entire greenhouse.
These chubby little guys circled in the air, dancing the figure 8 dance.
"They're so cute!" Ye Jie couldn't help but exclaim softly, her eyes following a particularly fat bumblebee. "Look at that one, it's like a little ball of fur!"
She had already drawn a precise coordinate system in her notebook. Her eyes tracked the direction of each bumblebee's body sharply, and her lips moved slightly as she recorded her observations.
"45 degrees northeast, the third pot of purple tulips."
She suddenly whispered, her eyes lighting up, "That bee wagged its tail three times. It must be a nectar-producing flower!"
She tiptoed towards the pot of tulips like a secret agent on a secret mission.
A huge bumblebee smelled the nectar at this time and couldn't help but feel "work addiction". It followed Ye Jie to fly towards the tulip and circled around the stamens. Ye Jie was secretly delighted, held her breath, and carefully inserted the pink identification tag on the edge of the flowerpot.
Elsewhere, Jia Yao crouched on the south side of the flower formation, the light from his phone screen illuminating his bewildered face. He had downloaded a so-called "Bee Language Translation App," but it was currently displaying a bunch of meaningless gibberish.
"What kind of crappy software is this?" he muttered, his fingers sliding across the screen rapidly. "Isn't it said to translate the dancing language of bees?"
A bumblebee flew over his head, drawing a clear figure 8 in the air. Jiayao immediately raised his phone to record the video, but when he played it back, the slow-motion footage showed only a blurry brown shadow.
"I can't see it clearly!" He scratched his head in frustration and decided to change his strategy. He imitated Ye Jie and began to observe Feng Wu with his naked eyes, but he hadn't been paying attention to Xu Ying's words and was completely confused.
"What does flying to the left mean? What does turning in a circle mean?"
Su Zhining walked gracefully towards the white flowers in the west.
She confidently watched two bumblebees dancing the figure-eight dance and tried to follow their lead.
"Oh, it must be that pot of white roses!" She walked towards her goal with a confident step. However, just as she was about to insert the card, something unexpected happened -
The two bumblebees suddenly changed direction and flew straight towards her!
"Ah!" Su Zhining screamed, waving the sign frantically, "Don't come over here! You've got the wrong flower!"
Xu Ying added with a sly smile not far away: "Just a reminder, bumblebees are particularly sensitive to the color red. Guests wearing red should be careful not to be mistaken for flowers."
Su Zhining's expression changed instantly. She looked down at her carefully matched red cashmere shawl—the vibrant red stood out against the flowers in the room.
As if to confirm Xu Ying's words, a chubby bumblebee was already hovering above her head, its black bean-like compound eyes staring straight at her shawl, and its furry front paws rubbing excitedly, as if to say, "This big red flower must have a lot of honey."
Su Zhining sucked in a breath of cold air, and with lightning speed, she ripped off her shawl and threw it over Jiayao: "Here you go!"
Jiayao was bewildered as he hugged the luxury cashmere scarf that had suddenly fallen from the sky. "Huh?"
The persistent little fat bee really changed its target and landed on Jiayao's shoulder with a buzz. Even more amazingly, it actually began to tap Jiayao's earrings with its antennae - which happened to be inlaid with a ruby.
"Help, help!" Jiayao froze like a statue, even his breathing became shallow. "Is it going to sting me?"
Xu Ying suppressed a laugh and explained, "Don't worry, the bumblebee is a gentle one. It's just wondering why this 'flower' isn't producing honey."
The audience erupted in laughter, and the camera captured Su Zhining's cunning expression as she took the opportunity to slip away.
In stark contrast to the flustered performance of the other three guests, Yao Yingzhe was unhurried. Instead of rushing to put up signs everywhere, the experienced veteran carefully examined each pot with a magnifying glass.
"Look here," he said to the camera, pointing to the petals of a gerbera. "These tiny U-shaped bite marks are the unique nectar-collecting marks of bumblebees. Only flowers that have been truly nectar-collected will have these marks."
Although Mr. Yao likes to preach, his knowledge base is excellent!
In the second episode, Teacher Yao was noticeably more normal. It seems that Station Master Xu's efforts were effective and he had eradicated Teacher Yao's problems.
The program team switched to a magnifying glass perspective.
The clear bite marks on the petals perfectly match the bumblebee's mouthparts, and there are tiny pollen grains around them.
Yao Yingzhe smiled and inserted the green sign firmly into the flowerpot, then continued his scientific investigation.
As time went on, the battle became more intense: Ye Jie had accurately marked 7 pots of flowers, but a naughty bumblebee became interested in her hairpin and snatched it away when she was not paying attention.
Ye Jie chased the bee across most of the stage and finally exchanged it for a piece of candy.
Jiayao finally gave up on technology and started taking notes like Ye Jie. But his notes were so crooked that he couldn't even understand them, so he could only guess by luck.
Yao Yingzhe came from behind with the help of scientific methods and his number of marks was close to that of Ye Jie.
He even took the time to explain the ecological habits of bumblebees to other guests: "I used to keep bees for a while, so I'm very familiar with them. Only female bumblebees have stings. Male bumblebees don't have stings and can't sting people."
"Bumblebee stings have no barbs and don't fall off after they sting, so they can sting you over and over again!"
Su Zhining shuddered when he heard this and didn't dare to speak at all. He observed the bumblebees closely and randomly inserted the nectar identification tags in his hand into several flower pots to get away with it.
Just as the competition was about to end, an unexpected intruder made the scene even more chaotic - a Tibetan fox suddenly ran out from nowhere and rushed onto the stage, snatching away the blue sign that Jiayao had placed on the ground.
"My sign!" Jia Yao exclaimed, but what was even more surprising was that several bumblebees seemed to treat this as a new game and started chasing the Tibetan fox all over the field.
The Tibetan fox nimbly moved between the flower pots, with bumblebees chasing it closely.
The Tibetan fox, who had originally come to cause trouble, said with a bitter face: [Stop chasing me. I have no interest in you!]
[Please, stop bothering me!!! I don't make friends with bugs. We don't speak the same language!]
At this time, the door of the wooden house was pushed open.
Everyone was surprised when they saw Lu Jinyu coming in.
"Damn, Lu Jinyu, how come you're so fast!"
"What magic medicine did Stationmaster Xiao Xu give you?"
