Chapter 93: Taking Dabao and Xiaobao Home

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yu looked at the two beehives not far away. He did not know how much honey he could collect from them this time. Similarly, he also did not know whether the nectar gathered by these Spirit Bees from the Immortal World on Earth would be different from that of other bees.

He continued to busy himself in the Spirit Gathering Array. He planned to finish the Jade Dew tasks in the morning, harvest the honey in the afternoon, and the next batch of Immortal Flavor Fruit would also mature and be ready for harvest.

When delivering the next batch of Immortal Flavor Fruit Powder to Qi Jinxuan, he would also bring a pot of White Snake Legend Jade Dew. After so many days of dripping Spirit Stabilizing Liquid, the White Snake Legend Jade Dew remained pure white, with no other colors appearing.

However, that white color had also become more sacred and pure. It truly looked like a work of art from nature.

What needed to be propagated was propagated, and what needed to be moved out of the Spirit Gathering Array was moved out. After finishing all these tasks, it was already noon.

Zhou Yu checked the time and went around the room. He first called his parents and told them not to rush with cooking, as he would bring some wild game home.

After two days of testing, the Wind Eagle Meat could now be eaten freely and was even beneficial to one’s health. Naturally, he wanted his parents to try it too.

Zhou Yu had previously given his parents a jar of Immortal Flavor Fruit Powder. He told them to just add a little when cooking. At the same time, he also instructed them not to tell anyone else about this matter.

After that, he took out several large pieces of Wind Eagle Meat from the refrigerator’s cold storage and put them into a bag. He then replenished some from the freezer section.

Seeing the bottle of honey from the Immortal World in the room, Zhou Yu also poured out half the bottle. Honey was considered very beneficial to health. It would be helpful for his parents to occasionally have a cup of honey tea.

Locking the door to the room, he went into the kitchen, cut a few small pieces of Wind Eagle Meat, and first fed them to some animals in the yard.

“Huzi, you stay and watch the house. I’ll bring you something good to eat when I come back.” Zhou Yu patted Huzi’s head and prepared to take Dabao, Xiaobao, and Gan Gan and Cui Cui back home.

Then, he looked up at the Golden Eagle beside him that was watching him and couldn’t help but wave his hand. “Jinzi, as you wish.” He had given the Golden Eagle a name this morning, calling it Jinzi. After all, the Golden Eagle had made this place its home and become a part of it.

“Let’s go, we’re going home.” Zhou Yu put the honey and Wind Eagle Meat into a bag, placed it in the trunk, then opened the car door and waved towards Dabao, Xiaobao, and Gan Gan and Cui Cui. “Come on, you little ones, get in quickly.”

Dabao and Xiaobao excitedly rushed in, then competed for the passenger seat. As for Gan Gan and Cui Cui, they still had a confused look on their faces. With Zhou Yu’s help, they timidly climbed into the car, which was almost the opposite of the legendary demolition squad.

In the end, Xiaobao lost the fight to Dabao and could only sit in the back seat with Gan Gan and Cui Cui.

Watching these animals play-fight, Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled. He put on a stern face and said, “Behave yourselves, all of you. If you scratch the seats, there will be no food for a week.”

Dabao and Xiaobao immediately calmed down, lying motionless on the seats. Gan Gan and Cui Cui stood on the seat, seemingly still not understanding the situation. Then, Xiaobao stretched out his paw, smacking them down, and happily barked at Zhou Yu as if seeking praise.

Zhou Yu couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “Xiaobao, you little rascal. When Gan Gan and Cui Cui grow up and gain more intelligence, you’ll have it coming.”

After that, Zhou Yu drove the car out, locked the gate, and headed all the way home.

Throughout the journey, Dabao and Xiaobao pressed their noses against the window, looking at the scenery outside. Gan Gan and Cui Cui also curiously peered through the glass.

When passing by the Guomin Food Stall, seeing both Li Guomin and Li Tianbiao outside, Zhou Yu stopped the car, rolled down the window, and greeted them.

Seeing the Labrador Retriever, Li Tianbiao curiously walked over. When he stuck his head into the car and saw the situation in the back, he burst out laughing. “Whoa, Brother Universe, are you planning to open a zoo? Where did you get these two Instant Noodle Lords?”

“Of course I bought them from someone else. I’m heading back now.” Waving his hand with a look of annoyance, Zhou Yu drove home with these animals.

How many animals was this really? The ones present were just three dogs and two Instant Noodle Lords, while one Little White Fox and one Golden Eagle had not made an appearance yet.

Returning home, Zhou Yu parked the car at the front gate and opened the car door. Dabao, Xiaobao, and Gan Gan and Cui Cui immediately ran out.

At that moment, seeing this scene in the yard, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were also stunned. “Xiaoyu, Dabao and Xiaobao have grown so strong now. And what are these two animals? They look a lot like the instant noodles you ate as a child,” Father Zhou asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Haha, Dad, these two are the animals on the instant noodle packets. Their name is Raccoon,” Zhou Yu said, laughing as he picked up the backpack from the trunk and walked into the yard.

“Raccoon, that’s a nice-sounding name. And they look cute too,” Father Zhou said, tentatively reaching out to touch the two raccoons.

Gan Gan and Cui Cui were a bit shy of strangers and about to run away when Xiaobao gave a low growl beside them. This scared them into staying still and not daring to move.

“Which one is Xiaobao or Dabao? Why did you scare them? They’re so cute,” Father Zhou said reproachfully.

Xiaobao looked at Zhou Yu with a wronged expression, lay down nearby, and seemed to feel life was meaningless.

Zhou Yu laughed heartily. Xiaobao, this little guy, often bullied Gan Gan and Cui Cui together with Xiaobai. Carrying the backpack, he took out the Wind Eagle Meat inside and walked into the kitchen. “Mom, this is some wild game my friend caught. It’s really delicious. Please braise it. Also, I brought you half a bottle of honey. Scoop out a little with a spoon every day to make a cup of honey tea. It’s good for your health.”

“You silly child, if your friend gave you the wild game, you should keep it and eat it yourself,” Mother Zhou said, shaking her head.

Zhou Yu smiled and handed the meat to his mother. “Mom, I can’t eat such delicious meat all by myself. Please cook it quickly.”

Soon, Mother Zhou braised a pot of the large pieces of Wind Eagle Meat and made two more stir-fried dishes. Along with the aroma of the Immortal Flavor Fruit Powder, the smell was simply irresistible.

After tasting the Wind Eagle Meat, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou’s faces showed astonishment. “Xiaoyu, this meat is way too delicious. What kind of wild game is this?”

“I don’t know either. My friend caught it from the mountains. Animals from the natural environment in the mountains taste better than the ones we raise at home. After you eat it, don’t tell anyone about it,” Zhou Yu naturally couldn’t reveal the true origin of the Wind Eagle Meat.

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou felt the comfort brought by the meat and then nodded heavily. “Indeed, we mustn’t tell others. It wouldn’t be good if it turned out to be a protected animal. Tell your friend to be careful.”

“Mom, Dad, I know. My friend has good judgment; he wouldn’t hunt any protected animals,” Zhou Yu said with a smile, shaking his head. In the Immortal World, there probably weren’t things like Spirit Beast protection laws anyway.

During the meal, he also fed a few pieces of meat to Dabao, Xiaobao, and Gan Gan and Cui Cui. The whole family had a very comfortable and enjoyable meal.

After eating, Zhou Yu took out the half bottle of honey from the Immortal World and had his parents taste it. This naturally provoked another wave of surprise. He told them to store the half bottle of honey properly and just take it out when they wanted some each day.

After tidying up, he drove the car with these animals and returned to the Old Family House, starting the busy afternoon.

Zhou Yu first picked the ripe Immortal Flavor Fruit and laid them out in the yard to dry. Then, he put on long sleeves, a hat, and gloves, and started the honey harvesting work.

On the honeycombs in the Honeycomb Frames, nearly more than half the area was already capped with wax. Honey harvested this way would have a higher concentration.

Holding a smoker, Zhou Yu drove away the Spirit Bees on top, then took the Honeycomb Frames out of the beehive and placed them into the honey extractor beside him, starting the honey extraction. The whole process was accompanied by an intoxicating floral fragrance.

After finishing with one Honeycomb Frame, he poured the honey from the extractor into a bucket and placed it on an electronic scale. He obtained a little over three pounds of honey.

Calculating based on this weight, with six Honeycomb Frames in a single beehive, he could harvest nearly twenty pounds of honey. Two beehives would yield forty pounds. Putting it into 900-gram bottles, he could get over twenty bottles.

It was currently the flowering season, so he could collect this much honey. If it were autumn or winter, the honey harvested then would be less. He might even have to add some honey to ensure the bees had enough nutrients to survive.
