After living on a desert island, they all plotted evil against me.

"So although we are dealing with it, we are not planning to eat pig brains."

At present, seven of the eight girls have protested. Only Anya, who was carefully cleaning her internal organs, did not speak.

"Okay, then I'll eat it alone tonight..." Zhang Liu scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I'll stew it just in time for you to finish taking a shower."

"Then let me eat with you." Holding a banana leaf full of large intestine segments and pork head meat slices, Anya walked to Zhang Liu and said with a smile: "I can still accept this, as long as it is not eaten raw, it will be fine. .”

Qin Ruoyan opened her mouth, although she suddenly wanted to say: "I can do it too"

But considering that this would be tantamount to a head-on conflict with Anya, Qin Ruoyan suppressed these words forcefully.

Immediately, she also successfully cleaned the outer blood film of the pig brain and began to dig down along the bones with her fingers.

With slight force, in less than three seconds, Qin Ruoyan lifted the entire pig brain out of the pig's head and placed it on the banana leaf.

"Zhang Liu, you must wait until I fall asleep before eating!" Gu Qingrou glanced at the pig brain that Qin Ruoyan dug out completely.

Just this glance made her face suddenly turn pale, and her expression became a bit nauseating.

"Well... don't let me see you eating pig brains."

Next to Gu Qingrou, Su Yan also nodded seriously. She didn't hope that when she kissed Zhang Liu in the future, she would suddenly remember that he had eaten pig brains in his mouth.

That kind of picture will definitely ruin the whole atmosphere!

The other girls around Su Yan also nodded, obviously having the same concerns as her.

"Okay... okay." Zhang Liu scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I know."

Beside him, Anya, who was holding a pile of pig head meat, was also a little helpless.

She didn't quite understand why the classmates in front of her didn't like eating pig brains...

This ends the episode about pig brains.

As the pot simmered, the smell of offal soup began to permeate the vicinity of the shelter.

Then, with a bunch of girls standing and watching, Zhang Liu sat on the ground and planned to start processing the hive.

The entire circular honeycomb is at least one and a half meters in diameter.

Double layer styling.

The width of a single layer is three fingers, which is about four centimeters.

In other words, it is a short mound with a volume of about [-] cubic meters. Each hole covered with a layer of "white alabaster" is filled with bee larvae or honey.

Zhang Liu rolled up his non-existent sleeves and started the pressing project.

Next to him are six bamboo tubes made by splitting a three-meter-long bamboo. Compared with the previous nine bamboo tubes with holes on one side for drinking water, their shapes are more special.

Although the bamboo covers at both ends are completely preserved, one side has a thumb-sized hole made by "burning it with red-hot charcoal".

Above the hole is a banana leaf rolled into a funnel shape with an open lower end.

This was Zhang Liu's preparation to ensure that he would carry the honey with him and not waste it everywhere due to dumping.

But before he started twisting Honey, he still had one more situation to deal with.

"Um, are you sure you don't want me to cut a few pieces for you to use as daily snacks?" Zhang Liu asked, pointing to the large piece of honeycomb honey in front of him, looking at the girls surrounding him.

The eight girls looked at each other, all aware of each other's confusion.

In fact, they all want it, but they are too embarrassed to ask for it.

Because honey is really very precious at present, and it may even be related to Zhang Liu's safety when he travels through the rainforest in the future...

Girls all choose to be patient for the sake of the man they like.

"Zhang Liu, you do it first. We will have to finish the honey you crushed later." In the end, Xiang Wanying made a decision on behalf of everyone: "This island is so big, we will definitely be able to find it in the future." As for the other bees, we will eat the hives when the time comes!”

Having said this, she also curiously pinched open a circular pattern of a honeycomb with her fingers, picked up the white and tender bee pupae from the inside and said, "Why are the pupae of this bee's nest different from those raised in the manor?"

The manor Xiang Wanying mentioned was the Xiangjia Manor.

Since the number of people is still relatively large, the permanent staff include Xiang Lingying's father, seven confidantes around him, Xiang Lingying himself and Xiang Wanying, plus 27 maids.

The ingredients they eat and drink every day are specially grown in the mountains or specific plains. They don't seek the best taste, but the best quality and highest safety.

After all, the taste can be compensated by the chef's skills.

And these ingredients naturally include honey, an essential seasoning in desserts.

As the head maid, Xiang Wanying occasionally needs to confirm the quality of the ingredients with her own eyes.

Out of curiosity, she had gone over to see the beehives.

The bee pupa in the honeycomb over there is much larger than the bee pupa in my hand, and the shape is also different.

To put it bluntly, Xiang Wanying even felt that the bee pupae twisting on her fingers looked like maggots...

"I feel very strange too." Zhang Liu understood that Xiang Wanying had noticed a problem, and he immediately said: "The same was true for the hive that Gu Qingrou and I found on the river east of the island before. The bees were very small. "

"Okay." Under Xiang Lingying's horrified eyes, Xiang Wanying casually put the bee pupa into her mouth, then held her fingers in her mouth and wiped off all the honey on it.

Then she also said in a speculative tone: "It must be some special kind of bee. It's really strange. Its hive is actually in the shape of a small bowl."

"Hmm..." Without any further response, Zhang Liu picked up a knife and cut the honeycomb on the ground into fist-sized pieces, then picked it up and squeezed it into a half-cut bamboo bowl next to it.

Golden sticky honey overflowed from the gaps between his fingers that had been cleaned to perfection.

Zhang Liu had proposed several plans on how to squeeze honey.

One of them is to cut it into nine parts, then each girl squeezes it by herself, and then collects the remaining beeswax.

Its advantage is that it is relatively clean. Girls will only eat the honeycomb that they have squeezed with their hands, not the boy.

But although honey is delicious, its sticky feel is not very acceptable.

So after a brief discussion, the task finally fell into Zhang Liu's hands.

As the honey was squeezed by him, it flowed out.

A sweet fragrance also began to fill the air.

The eight girls subconsciously looked at the clear honey that had been filled into a bamboo bowl. At this moment, Zhang Liu was picking out the white bee pupae that fell into the honey with his fingers.

The efficiency of squeezing honey just by relying on his hands is actually not very high.

In fact, if a sleeve is made of bamboo and a hole is made underneath for squeezing, both the squeezing degree and the efficiency will be improved.

But Zhang Liu did not use this theoretically optimal solution.

Because he wanted to leave as much honey as possible for the eight girls who were eagerly surrounding him.

Zhang Liu knew that they wanted to eat, but he didn't want to affect his future jungle adventure, so he forcibly endured it.

But he would rather starve himself than want the girls to be wronged!

Chapter 3 Honey Mint Tamarind Hand Beat!

This hive provided Zhang Liu with a total of five and a half bamboo tubes of honey.

Under the unanimous gaze of the eight girls, he handed one of the bamboo tubes to Anya, whose eyes were full of anticipation, but she kept shouting that she didn't want it.

"Happy birthday."

Looking at the girl in front of him who had helped him so much, Zhang Liu said with a smile.

Beside him were the girls who were applauding enthusiastically.

Next to a crackling campfire with applause.

They said their blessings to Anya: "Happy birthday!"

After the applause, the next step is to prepare dinner.

Zhang Liu picked out all the white bee pupae and wrapped them in banana leaves. They would be part of the dinner.

The crushed honeycomb is evenly divided into nine packages, one package per person.

It was also agreed that after chewing the honey in the hive, the beeswax should be collected.

As for the main food tonight, it is offal soup.

Although girls actually don’t like pig intestines very much.

And in the absence of spices, pig intestines are indeed not very tasty.

But unable to resist the urge of hunger, everyone was hungry all day but only ate some fruit and honey.

After taking the first bite, you can feel the aroma of meat.

Everyone began to eat their portion in silence.

And the addition of bamboo fungus gives this offal soup a light, salty and fresh taste when you taste it carefully.

And its own special smell can also reduce the smell of offal soup to a certain extent.

Generally speaking, the more people eat, the more delicious it becomes.

After Xiang Lingying finished drinking, he looked at his head maid eagerly, wanting more.

After the offal soup was finished, the roasted bee pupa served as dessert was also taken out from next to the fire.

Faced with this white bug, everyone reacted differently.

Gu Qingrou, Su Yan, Lan Yueting, Qin Ruoyan, Zhang Liu, Anya, and Xiang Wanying are acceptable.

But Qin Ruoshuang and Xiang Lingying were determined not to eat it, and chose to use egg yolk fruit instead...

After eating the roasted bugs, Zhang Liu also mixed honey from half a bamboo tube with mint leaves and tamarind in a sheepskin bag, thus making his first official drink on the desert island.

This is much better than the original plantain juice with honey!

And it is 100% able to beat that horrible pine needle tea.

"Hmm, I think it should be considered a honey mint tamarind hand slap, right?"

After taking a peeled branch and stirring it wildly, he smiled and said to the girls in front of him.

After saying that, Zhang Liu poured the drink in the sheepskin bag evenly into the nine water glasses.

Not too much, not too little, just the right amount.

After pouring the nine cups, only the raw materials were left in the sheepskin bag.

Looking at the drinks in front of them, everyone looked at each other with hesitation.

It’s not that they don’t believe in taste.

After all, mint, honey, and tamarind, the combination of these three will never taste unpleasant.

Everyone was just embarrassed to speak when Zhang Liu didn't drink.

But Zhang Liu, in line with the idea of ​​giving priority to ladies, did not take the initiative to speak, but waited silently.

For a moment, they fell into a completely unnecessary stalemate.

And the more stalemate it is, the more awkward it becomes, and the more embarrassed it is to take the first action.

Anya is usually the one to break the awkward atmosphere, but today she received a birthday gift and was thinking about how to return the gift, so she subconsciously blushed when she saw Zhang Liu.

Then Xiang Wanying broke the awkward atmosphere and took the first sip. She smiled and said, "It tastes good... but the mint leaves are a little too small, and the taste is not strong enough."

"Well, I think it's okay... Sister Wanying, your taste is too strong!" Next to Xiang Wanying, Xiang Lingying smacked her lips slightly and expressed her feelings. By the way, she also talked to her head maid. Make jokes to lighten the mood.

After the two of them started.

The other girls also enjoyed the refreshing drink after the offal soup.

The taste was really good. In order to get the taste of mint leaves, Zhang Liu did not use boiled spring water during cooking for the first time, but scooped some directly from the pool water.

This results in the water being cold and without any smoky taste.

It can be called sweet and delicious.

Not to mention the added flavor from the various ingredients added inside.

But after drinking, the girls began to sit silently next to the fire without speaking.

For them, this kind of drink with multiple flavors mixed together is so rare.

It's so rare that I can even recall a time when I wasn't in danger.

Except for Zhang Liu and Xiang Wanying, everyone else's expressions were a little sad.
