Chapter 144 Star Bee, Strange Honey, Goat Milk

After carefully tasting this pieced-together "stone bowl" cake, he found that it was not completely without merit.

At least... well, it made good use of the flour and egg white paste, and it also tasted like cake.

But compared to the professional cake in his memory, which was fluffy, soft, uniform, sweet, and with cream, chocolate, cocoa powder, raisins, and hazelnut crumbs, it was indeed not on the same level.

Thinking of this, he had an idea and found roasted pine nuts and fried peanuts from the materials: "Ping'er, come and make them into coarse pieces."

The top tool man, Xiao Ping'er, just stretched out her hand on the pine nuts and peanuts, and the fine sunflower blood accurately cut them into pieces.

He did it again according to the method just now, but reduced the amount of sugar by 7... 50%. He looked at the expectant Xiao Ping'er and didn't reduce the sugar too much.

The third baking, the taste of the cake itself did not improve, but it had the aroma of pine nuts and peanuts, and it was not too sweet, and it could barely be used as a dessert.

Let Sister Bai try something new. It's okay for him to eat one occasionally.

More importantly, the two children will definitely not dislike it. After eating it for ten days or half a month, the taste should be improved.

With chicken, duck, fish and meat, Gu Ke is not afraid that they will be addicted to desserts.

The dessert making method in his memory of his previous life is not even one-tenth of meat dishes. Who made him like to eat meat and watch food short videos?

As long as there are enough materials for experimentation and the taste is 60% to 70%, it will not be a big problem.

At dinner, Xiaoman took the stone bowl cake he had just made to Bai Suqing.

Sister Bai didn't rush to eat it, but swept her scrutinizing eyes across Gu Ke's face, and then noticed Xiao Ping'er's expression, and then she felt relieved.

Gu Ke doesn't have any major problems, but there is only one thing that he can never change, and he doesn't want to change.

That is, if he tastes a bad test product, he will never show it, and will comment seriously, which is completely the same as eating other normal food.

He is very picky about taste. Most of the things that he can point out a lot of shortcomings are not bad to eat, and many of them are still good for her and the two children.

Under the aura of affinity, the three women will occasionally be caught without defense and step into the pit of "food blind box".

Gradually, Bai Suqing also developed a habit, that is, to observe the two children, especially Xiao Ping'er's expression.

Compared with Xiaoman, who is in collusion with Gu Ke and is in cahoots with him, Xiao Ping'er is still the most honest and normal.

Neither is Xiaoman's taste as outrageous, nor can he talk nonsense as seriously as Gu Ke.

Seeing that Xiao Ping'er's eyes were not wandering at this moment, Sister Bai had a plan in mind, picked up a small piece of cake and put it in her mouth.

After chewing it twice, the taste is much softer than the dough cake, only inferior to the steamed bun, not sweet, and mixed with the dry fragrance of pine nuts and peanuts.

She raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked at Xiaoman: "This tastes pretty good, it's rare."

Xiaoman said proudly: "We spent three hours to make this, of course it tastes good. By the way, Lao Gu insisted on putting less sugar, yours is not sweet enough, the taste is a little worse, try mine."

Bai Suqing had a rough idea when she heard it, but she still cut a small piece from the cake in Xiaoman's hand and put it in her mouth.

After chewing it a little, she shook her head: "I can't eat such sweetness, the first one is more suitable for me."

Xiaoman said "oh", with a look of disappointment.

Bai Suqing had no choice but to take the "high-sugar version" cake in her hand: "Leave this one too, and eat it in the evening."

Xiaoman's labor results were recognized, and she was finally happy and ate dinner happily.

...

After making a patchwork cake, Gu Ke retired and continued to do his own thing.

Early spring has arrived in the valley, with dotted mountain flowers everywhere. It's time to release those cute and hardworking little bees to work.

Xiantian is not affected much by the seasons. Every day, grains, fruit trees, and vegetables mature in turn, and there are always a lot of flowers in full bloom.

Moreover, the varieties and quality of these plants are far superior to ordinary plants. It took only more than ten days for two boxes of bees to swarm on their own.

Fortunately, Gu Ke's divine sense discovered it early and found that a new queen bee had appeared. He quickly copied several beehives, which avoided the fight between the new and old queen bees.

The queen bee variety born in Xiantian directly became the Tianxing queen bee, and some tiny silver dots appeared on the yellow-brown body.

The hatched bees also became Tianxing bees, and there were also sporadic silver dots on the body, but they were smaller and lighter.

The Tianxing bee is a circle larger in size, with strong vitality, and its flying speed and honey collection have increased significantly. It is an emotionless flower-collecting machine.

For the purpose of the experiment, Gu Ke chose to move the old and new queen bees out of the fairy field, and built a small shed on the east and west sides of Yulong Peak to separate them and avoid wind, rain and exposure.

When it was dawn, the two boxes of bees began to fly out of the hives and patrol in the new territory.

However, the sudden decline in the environment and "food quality" had a significant impact on them, and their working attitude was not as positive as when they were in the fairy field.

After two days, they adapted to the environment and "food grade" of the "new canteen", as well as the super large area, and became diligent again.

There was no way, too many flowers were in front of them, and it would be a waste if they were not picked.

Gu Ke was relieved to determine that both the new and old varieties of bees had adapted to the new environment and had no intention of "starving to death".

Without these hardworking little guys, the pollination of crops in the hundred acres of ordinary fields alone would be a troublesome and boring process.

Before, Bai Suqing and the two children used blood and qi to control the floating of pollen to complete artificial pollination.

This can exercise the subtle control of blood and qi, but Gu Ke still thinks it is unnecessary to work so hard.

Moreover, there are a lot of flowers and plants in the valley. Last year, they failed to pollinate, and they only bloomed but did not bear fruit, which wasted a season.

If it continues like this, it will not be conducive to their continued reproduction and growth.

Those free-range chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep will also lose a large part of their food sources.

In addition, the bees have lived in the fairy field for this period of time and stored some honey.

Gu Ke was busy upgrading the workshop and didn't pay much attention. They used this honey to increase the number of bee colonies and finally split the bees.

But this is not a bad thing. At least now he has two more boxes of bees to test.

He tried to taste some of the honey produced by the fairy field.

A variety of nectars were mixed and made into honey by bees. In the end, the taste was indeed very sweet and fragrant. It smelled like Xiaoman's greed, but it did not become a new ingredient as expected.

After the sweetness in the mouth, the blood and qi were growing and fluctuating, but there was no level. The whole body bloomed, and the speed was very different.

People's spirits will begin to accelerate and become excited, but will be constantly suppressed by the cool breath that appears at the same time.

In short, the effects contained in this honey are too complicated, and they conflict and interfere with each other after consumption, and cannot really play a good effect.

With his divine thoughts and affinity with nature, Gu Ke can probably taste which plant's nectar the honey comes from.

The reason for the conflict is mainly due to the special varieties of crops in the two red lands, who makes them too effective.

In the future, he will adjust the distribution of crops in the fairy field and limit the types of nectar that bees can collect.

After the swarming, let different bee colonies collect nectar with conflicting properties separately, and this problem can be solved.

This first batch of "strange honey" will be left in the warehouse as material, and perhaps a new use will be found one day.

The honey produced outside the fairy field doesn't matter, the nectar of ordinary plants is far from affecting the conflict of honey properties.

These ordinary honeys will probably have to be thrown into the warehouse and traded at that time.

There are top-quality honeys produced in the fairy field, and even honey with characteristics. Who has time to eat these ordinary goods?

…

In February, when the grass grows and the birds sing, the hardworking little bees begin their work.

Birds also fly around in the valley, making pleasant calls from time to time.

Unpleasant? That's impossible.

Most of the birds that Gu Ke chose to keep were pets, the kind that were specially raised for listening.

When they opened their mouths, they made clear and melodious sounds, and they were melodious and long.

If you have to find the most unpleasant sound, it would probably be... pigeons? But the pigeons were kept only because Gu Ke had eaten roasted pigeons and pigeon eggs.

Anyway, although the sounds of these cooing birds are not pleasant, they are not noisy, and it's just a matter of adding a few more grains.

He also used the Zhenling Stone to allow these birds to move in most places in the valley.

But it is limited to the waist of Yulong Peak, and they cannot enter the system buildings and fairy fields outside the livestock farm.

This can also add some vitality to the cold Yulong Peak, and it will not leave bird droppings in the daily living and cultivation places.

Gu Ke casually caught a few birds that flew over, teased them gently, and let them play by themselves.

After the plant affinity was upgraded to natural affinity, animals would subconsciously approach him, so he would usually restrain its effect.

These birds felt a little when they flew close to him, so they took a detour to say hello to him.

Walking towards the shack of the livestock farm, a few sows with a group of pink little Juju came out of the grass and wanted to come over.

Gu Ke just moved his mind and let them take their babies to find food by themselves.

The fat and big-eared sows shook their bellies that were about to mop the ground and twisted their round buttocks and walked away.

Then a group of sheep came over and were also driven away.

The little Juju and the sheep were cute, but they were destined to become roast suckling pigs and mutton soup in the future.

He should not get too close to them, lest he be too familiar with them and couldn't do it.

Well, this can be left to Xiaoman and Xiaoping'er.

They were not as "sentimental" as he was. When he teased the pigs and sheep, they were toys, and when he ate them, they were food. There was no such thing as being familiar or not.

On the contrary, a few old cows and horses that were grazing leisurely came over with snorts, and he patted their heads and rubbed their noses one by one.

They were too old and would not be on his menu in the future, so it was okay to tease them.

He walked all the way into the shack and saw Xiaoman sitting on a small bamboo stool. Next to him, Xiaohuang was a dog entertaining himself, rolling and flopping on a branch.

When he came in, its black little eyes turned immediately, and it threw down the branch and ran towards him.

Its tail, like dogtail grass, swung wildly, like a small windmill.

Gu Ke was too lazy to rub the dog's head, but just scratched its belly with his toes a few times, and walked past it when it turned over to ask for further ravage.

The dog stupidly tilted its head upside down and watched him go away.

Gu Ke came to the side behind Xiaoman and saw her reaching her hand under the belly of a ewe in front of her and squeezing it skillfully.

Streams of white goat milk gushed out and fell into a large bowl.

A lamb on the side was bleating anxiously, protesting someone's crazy plundering of its canteen, and even went around to the other side to grab food.

Xiaoman's blood was slightly moved, and she blocked the poor lamb, muttering: "You can't eat so much, so what if you give me a little bit?"

"Why don't you grow up quickly so that you can eat grass, which is better than stealing my goat milk every day?"

"Lao Gu said he would make me cream cakes, ice cream when the weather gets hot, and yogurt and cheese. How can I eat enough if I don't have enough milk!"

There, the little sheep launched helpless charges again and again, only to be pushed away again and again, looking despairingly at the canteen being mostly empty.

Only then did Xiao Man stop with satisfaction and let go of the rope around the ewe's neck: "Okay, let's go, let's go, your child is really annoying."

The ewe bleated and hurriedly took the unlucky lamb out to eat grass and replenish nutrition.

Xiaoman stood up, poured the goat's milk from the big bowl into the goat's milk bucket, turned around to look for the next "victim sheep", and saw Gu Ke watching there with a smile.

She hurriedly came over, took his hand and walked towards the milk bucket: "Come and see how my milk is doing."

Although his spiritual mind had "seen" it clearly, Gu Ke still followed her and carefully looked at the goat milk in the bucket, and even got closer and smelled it: "Well, it seems that the smell is not so strong?"

Xiao Man nodded triumphantly: "Didn't I ask you to adjust the shack two days ago? Now the rams and the milk-producing ewes are separated, and they move around on the east and west sides. I will also clean the shacks on the ewe side every day. Once, the taste faded a lot.”

At this point, she remembered something again: "You said there was a lot of wool and debris in the goat milk before. I shaved that piece of hair and wiped it clean before squeezing it. Isn't this much better?"

When Gu Ke heard what she said, his spiritual mind swept through the shack and found that everything was indeed as Xiao Man said, and it was even too simple.

This little girl is really willing to put in a lot of effort in order to eat.

"Well, you thought more carefully than I did. Thank you for your hard work." He smiled and pinched her cheek.

Xiao Man immediately hit the snake on the stick, holding his hand and acting coquettishly: "Then when will we make the cream cake? Oh, by the way, the weather seems to be a bit hot these days. I just did a little work and started sweating. Woolen cloth."

As she said this, she immediately pinched her collar with her fingers and kept fanning herself.

When Gu Ke lowered her head, she saw something whiter than the goat's milk in the vat, rising and falling with her movements.

Nowadays, Xiaoman no longer wears underwear and only uses half a cup.

Why does she know this? Of course he was the one who popularized science.

All the girls are extremely lacking in common sense about adolescence, including older girls like Sister Bai and Mei Shu.

The half cup with support is far more suitable for work than their little clothes.

As Gu Ke's "iron fan", Xiao Man believed whatever he said, so he put it on early and even talked about how convenient it was.

The girls remained silent on the surface, but privately... Gu Ke hadn't seen it, but the "movement" when wearing single clothes was obviously much smaller.
