Chen Le carried the beehive to the riverbank and put it down. The beehive was not big, only the size of a football, but it was not light. Chen Le estimated that it weighed two to three kilograms.
This kind of natural beehive honey was much better than the farmed honey sold in the past.
Bees would store honey for the winter, but because beekeepers had to collect honey, when it was almost winter, beekeepers would prepare a jar of sugar water to feed the bees.
You can't shake honey when you feed sugar water, because if you shake honey at this time, all that comes out is sugar water.
However, some beekeepers were blinded by greed. In order to increase production, they fed the bees sugar water while shaking the honey, using sugar honey instead of honey to sell.
Sweetened honey contained little honey, low nutritional value, and high sugar content. Moreover, it was difficult for ordinary people to see through it.
As for the natural wild beehive honey, there was no need to worry about this.
Chen Le used pebbles to build a simple stove by the river bank and fixed it with soil.
The stone furnace was near the river bank, and there were no flammable objects around it, so it was safer.
After doing all this, Chen Le brought Meng Bao to the stream.
The stream was crystal clear, but this stream was a seasonal river. It would disappear in the dry season. In addition, the river was narrow and the water flowed rapidly, so there were no big fish.
The biggest one was only the width of a pinky, and there was no meat to eat.
However, Chen Le knew that this kind of rapid water flow was rich in oxygen and would grow a kind of edible small fish. This kind of small fish only grew in the spring water of Wuling Mountain and Mount Tai. There was red phosphorus on both sides of the body, hence the name red scale fish.
It took two years for the red-scaled fish to grow to the length of a finger. The meat was delicious and melted in the mouth. It was considered a precious ingredient.
A red-scaled fish suddenly darted out from under the rock.
"Meng Bao!"
The little fellow acted quickly and grabbed it out.
Chen Le commanded, and Meng Bao went to catch them. In a short while, they caught a few.
"Meng Bao is so powerful!"
"It really is a Red-Scaled Fish!"
"What's the difference between this fish and ordinary small fish?”
"This is red-scale fish. I ate it when I went to climb Mount Tai. It's fried and golden yellow and crispy. It's especially delicious! It was just too expensive. 29 yuan for one, and it was only the size of a pinky.”
Previously, the red scale fish could not be cultivated artificially, and there were very few wild fish. The price of one catty had once risen to more than 800 yuan.
Chen Le flipped over the stone again. The two little crabs lost the protection of the stone and began to run around.
Chen Le grabbed them one by one.
"Enough, enough!"
Chen Le found a few branches as skewers and skewered the crabs first.
He found another branch and cut open the belly of the red-scaled fish, removing the internal organs and throwing them away, leaving only the fish meat.
"Meng Bao, open the beehive!"
Cute Baby opened the beehive, and golden honey gushed out.
This was originally the honey that the group of bees had saved for the winter. It seemed that they would be busy again recently. Otherwise, they would starve this winter.
Chen Le wrapped the red-scaled fish and crabs with honey and stuck the bamboo skewer on the edge of the stone stove made of pebbles.
He found some dry wood and stuffed it into the furnace along with the sweet potatoes. He lit the dry wood and the furnace started to burn.
The Red Scaled Fish's meat was delicious, and it was basically burnt with a flick of the fire. Therefore, there was no need to touch the open fire. The high temperature was enough to roast it.
As the meat was roasted at a high temperature, it began to shrink and absorb the honey crazily.
The grilled fish oil mixed with honey dripped onto the hot pebbles and quickly evaporated with a sizzling sound.
The sweet fragrance of honey and the fresh fragrance of fish instantly spread in the air.
"It looks delicious!"
"Oh my god! An outdoor barbecue! Isn't this too blissful?"
"I'm drooling!"
"Hahahaha, look at the cute baby!”
He saw the cute baby staring at the grilled fish on the stone stove, unable to shift his gaze away.
The saliva that flowed out of the corner of his mouth had stuck together the hair on his chin.
"Hey! You are a national treasure! After all, they had eaten and seen it before! Can you be more promising!"
"Comrade Guobao, pay attention to your image!”
"Hahaha, the cute baby is killing me, but if it were me, I would definitely be more greedy than it!”
"If it were me, my furnace would have eaten it! Unfortunately, I can't exchange it!"
Not long after, the honey formed a golden and crispy shell on the outside of the fish meat, and the fish meat inside also became firm from the original crystal clear.
Chen Le handed it to Meng Bao.
The little fellow grabbed the bamboo stick and swallowed the whole fish in one gulp.
"Is it delicious?"
"What's that smell! It smells so good!"
In the past, when the little fellow ate delicious food, happiness would be written on his face. This time, the little fellow looked at the camera with a blank expression.
"Why? Is it not delicious?"
"Doesn't suit our national treasure's appetite?”
"Did the host fail this time?"
