Tang Chen looked up at Liu Shi Shi and asked doubtfully, "Is it a hornet's nest or a beehive? Did you see clearly?"
“……”
Liu Shi Shi was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Is there any difference between bees and hornets?"
“Of course there's a difference!”
Tang Chen nodded and said to her, "A beehive is different from a hornet's nest. A hornet's nest is gray and looks like dried cow dung, while a beehive is a normal honeycomb..."
If it's a hornet's nest, you can only eat bee larvae, because there's no honey inside.
But if it's a beehive, Tang Chen just wants to say: I want to drink "honey berry tea"!
To live comfortably on this deserted island, you have to prepare all the ingredients.
Even if you eat lobster every day, you'll get tired of it eventually.
So, when he heard Liu Shi Shi mention that there was a beehive, Tang Chen's eyes lit up.
He quickly asked her where the hornet's nest was.
"Captain, it shouldn't be a hornet's nest, it's probably bees!"
Liu Shi Shi thought for a moment and explained, "The beehive doesn't look like cow dung, it's a normal honeycomb!"
“Really?” Tang Chen was overjoyed and immediately stood up and said, "Come on, take me to see it!"
He paused and said, "If it really is bees, then we have honey to eat!"
Liu Shi Shi nodded and pointed to the jungle not far away and said, "Captain, the beehive is on the tree over there. Zhao Jin Mai and I ran into it when we were picking berries. We almost got stung by bees!"
"Really?" Tang Chen said to her with interest, "Come on, take me to see it!"
This is a great opportunity to get delicious food.
Getting a honeycomb back would be enough for them to drink honey water for a month on the island.
Hearing Tang Chen's words, Liu Shi Shi didn't dare hesitate and quickly led Tang Chen towards the nearby forest.
Yang Mi and Liu Tian Xian were full of curiosity and followed cautiously.
They walked for a while when they heard a "buzzing" sound.
They saw a huge beehive on a tree in the distance.
A swarm of bees were buzzing around it, busy collecting honey.
"Wow, it really is bees!"
Yang Mi saw the bees from afar and whispered to Tang Chen, "Captain, it's bees..."
She quietly explained, "Bees and hornets look different. These are obviously honeybees!"
"Well, that's good!" Tang Chen made a gesture for them to stop and reminded them, "Don't alarm them. We'll talk about it at night!"
Bees are busy collecting honey during the day, and only rest at night.
So, if you want to collect honey, you have to do it at night when the bees are all asleep.
"Wow, what a big beehive!" Liu Tian Xian pursed her lips and said, "There must be a lot of honey inside!"
"Haha, you want honey?"
Tang Chen turned to look at her and said with a smile.
Liu Tian Xian blushed and quickly lowered her head.
"Haha..." Yang Mi covered her mouth and laughed, "I want some too..."
They've been on the deserted island for three days, and they haven't eaten any sweets.
Of course, they couldn't resist honey, a food with a unique flavor!
Tang Chen chuckled and said to them, "Let's go back to have lunch. After lunch, we'll think about a strategy for getting the honeycomb!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Yang Mi, Liu Shi Shi and the others nodded and quickly followed behind Tang Chen back to the camp.
With the idea of collecting honey, everyone worked harder.
Since they caught coconut crabs and long-tailed chickens last night, they didn't need to prepare other ingredients for lunch today.
They just need to process the coconut crabs. For the female stars, coconut crabs are a type of food they've never seen before, so they all gathered around Tang Chen with curious looks.
"Captain, how many ways are there to cook coconut crabs?"
Yang Mi looked at the coconut crab in front of her and asked doubtfully, "Do those international chefs just steam them directly?"
Hearing Yang Mi's question, Tang Chen replied, "For foreigners, there are actually many ways to cook coconut crabs. For example, the most common one is the "Bì Fēng Táng" method!"
"The 'Bì Fēng Táng' method?"
Yang Mi was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Isn't the 'Bì Fēng Táng' method used for cooking lobsters?"
"That's right!" Tang Chen looked at her and said, "One trick to eat all, do you think foreigners really understand food?"
He shrugged and said, "When it comes to food, who can compare to our profound heritage? Our China has a history of five thousand years, with countless ways to cook food!"
"Yes, Captain is right!" Liu Tian Xian nodded and said, "For high-end ingredients, the best way is to restore its natural flavor!"
"That's right..." Tang Chen nodded and said, "High-end ingredients often require the simplest cooking methods. Considering that you're eating coconut crab for the first time, we'll just steam it!"
"Steaming is good!"
Liu Shi Shi clapped her hands and shouted, "According to the Captain, coconut crab has a strong coconut flavor. Steaming it will bring out its unique flavor better!"
