Chapter 105: Xiao Zi's Genius Plan
"What's the idea?"
"Creating a method for making new-flavored honey!"
Xiao Zi excitedly exclaimed, "Right now, we only plant one type of flower in a field, resulting in honey with a single flavor. But what if we plant two or more types of flowers in one field? The bees would collect nectar from different flowers, and the honey produced would definitely have a different taste!"
Xiao Zi looked forward with anticipation, "I wonder what kind of honey we could brew using this method."
"..."
Don't say anything.
Really, don't say anything.
This was indeed a novel idea.
He had underestimated her.
He thought the little foodie couldn't come up with anything beyond her cravings, but she actually had some creative thoughts.
This plan had crossed Huami's mind as well, being a professional beekeeper. However, with new honey sources like Moon Dream Flower, Feathered Robe Flower, Thunderstrike Flower, and Bestowal Flower appearing, his focus had been on cultivating these individual flowers.
Managing that alone kept him quite busy, and he hadn't yet considered mixed planting. Compared to cultivating individual flowers, the latter was more challenging, requiring higher expertise in cultivation techniques and environmental conditions.
Moreover, the limited variety of flowers on hand posed an obstacle. Different flowers had different growth environments, and their nectar flow periods didn't synchronize.
So, the idea of mixed planting had been put on hold.
Xiao Zi's suggestion was essentially what beekeepers referred to as "mixed nectar collection." In the beekeeping industry, many beekeepers took their hives to various nectar sources, a practice known as migratory beekeeping.
There were two types of nectar sources: mixed and single.
A single nectar source didn't necessarily mean only one type of flower in a radius of hundreds of miles. As long as one type of flower dominated, bees tended to collect nectar exclusively from that dominant flower, resulting in single-flower honey.
In contrast, if the nectar source comprised several flower types with no clear dominance, and bees couldn't meet their needs by collecting from just one, they would gather nectar from multiple flowers, producing what was called multi-flower honey.
Multi-flower honey had a distinct taste, often with finer crystalline particles compared to single-flower honey.
It wasn't easy to declare which was better or more nutritious; each had its merits, influenced by factors such as flower types, growing environments, and production processes.
Huami had previously experimented by directly mixing two types of honey, like simultaneously consuming a Thunderstrike Flower honey pill and a Bestowal Flower honey pill. The conclusion was that the two honeys didn't interfere with each other, producing no magical effects. They functioned normally, each exhibiting its own effects.
However, if the mixing occurred during the honey collection period, processed through the magical transformation by the bees, it would likely result in an entirely new honey.
A new flavor and, perhaps, new effects!
Considering the harsh weather, most plants were likely to have withered by now.
Finding a blooming flower, especially, would be incredibly challenging.
However, the main focus wasn't the flower but the seeds.
...
After the last batch of honey was collected, the greenhouse entered a new growth cycle.
The Bestowal Flower field didn't need attention; under the magical influence of the small flower spirits, it wouldn't deteriorate. After some time, it would reenter the nectar flow periodfully automated.
The small flower spirits also told him that Bestowal Flowers liked pure fire elements.
Placing some fire attribute items in the field would enhance the growth and quality of Bestowal Flowers. The most noticeable effect was an increase in honey production.
As for fire attribute items... perhaps fire seeds?
Even if he were the Swordsman of Brassburg, he couldn't take those away. Those were essential for the Fire Servitors.
So, Huami settled for placing a well-seasoned ancestral frying pan in the flower field.
The pan's bottom was pitch-black.
As for the Thunderstrike Flower field, it needed to be replanted, no need to mention.
Next, Huami planned to double the size of the greenhouse.
He intended to allocate a section for mixed planting.
After chatting with the pseudo-flower spirits, he learned that there were flowers in the Black Forest that bloomed around the same time as the Moon Dream Flower, named the "Thousand Mirage Flower." It was likely that their nectar flow periods would align with the Feathered Robe Flower.
Moreover, the pseudo-flower spirits knew of a modest-sized grove of Thousand Mirage Flowers.
By now, that grove had probably withered.
However, the seeds had already scattered around.
Huami decided to include the Thousand Mirage Flower in the flower seed reserve as the next breeding target.
The soon-to-be-expanded area in the greenhouse would be divided into two parts.
One part would be a dedicated field for Thousand Mirage Flowers.
The other part would be a mixed field for Thousand Mirage Flowers and Feathered Robe Flowers.
