Mugwort doesn’t have picky soil requirements, it grows everywhere on the mountain and has a very wide distribution. Of course, it doesn’t sell for a high price. A pound of dried wild mugwort only costs around three to five yuan.

“You can plant it, but don’t plant too much.”

Mugwort doesn’t sell for much, so wouldn’t planting too much result in a loss?

Lin You was thinking of planting mugwort around the land she had leased, creating a circle around it. This way, it would require little maintenance, and once planted, it would yield every year, making it convenient. Moreover, mugwort would mark the boundaries of her land, making it clear and helping her plan the remaining space.

As for the low price, Lin You wasn’t too concerned, after all, with such a large piece of land, planting something else could also cover costs. It wasn’t a big deal.

She decided to go ahead with it, and within a few days, Lin You bought mugwort seeds, rented a land tilling machine, and after tilling the soil, she sowed the seeds. The weather was also favorable, after planting the seeds, there was a week of cooler weather, with occasional light rain. The mugwort seeds quickly sprouted.

While Lin You was busy planting the mugwort, discussions about her were starting to increase.

First, there were the milk-flavored biscuits. Previously, the raffle was limited by the number of people, and it was mostly popular among a few mothers on a parenting forum. But this time, with ten thousand units of the product on sale, it immediately caught the attention of the general public.

The speed of the internet is fast. Lin You’s withdrawal from the community had caused a stir and made it to the trending searches for a few days. But as time passed, people had already forgotten about it. Later, when there were famous celebrity gossip events, although her name was mentioned, they were overshadowed by more dramatic events, and her small issue wasn’t the center of attention.

However, this time, as the milk-flavored biscuits went on sale, Lin You found herself back in the spotlight.

It all started with a normal venting post in a gossip forum.

A certain emotional blogger received a submission.

【Submission 68942: Here’s my little rant about my just-broken-up ex-boyfriend. The story goes like this: we were college sweethearts, and after graduation two years ago, we came to a first-tier city to make a living. He studied law, I studied graphic design. After living together, I started noticing many of his flaws, but since we had been together for so many years, I didn’t have the heart to break up. But something that happened a few days ago became the last straw.】

【The week before last, I asked a few friends to help me grab some biscuits. I asked him to help, and this idiot kept dissing me, saying I was paying an ‘IQ tax’ and buying influencer products. We argued, and he started talking about market economics and historical trends. It’s like when a man turns twenty, he automatically unlocks a double master’s degree in international politics and history. But I didn’t bother arguing with him. I found a few sisters to grab them instead.】

【Then the main point—last week, I received the biscuits. Because I didn’t manage to get enough, I wasn’t sure when I’d be able to buy more, so I decided to keep them to eat slowly. But when I got home the day before yesterday, I found the biscuits were gone! When I asked him, he said he sold them online for 200 yuan!】

【This is definitely the end of the relationship. This cheap man hasn’t been striving for progress since graduation, just wasting time at a law firm. Most of the expenses were paid by me, and now I’m spending my own money to buy biscuits, and this guy sells them for a small profit. It’s infuriating.】

【I suggested breaking up, and I thought it was over. But a few days ago, this idiot did something that completely shattered my worldview. He calculated all the money he spent on me since we started dating and sent me an Excel sheet yesterday, demanding I pay him back! I’m posting the screenshot below, so my sisters can see it. He even wants me to pay him for the bike ride when we hadn’t even confirmed our relationship! Lastly, let me just say, ladies, stay away from stingy, cheap men, especially those who study law!】

This rant quickly went viral, especially due to the absurdity of it and the ridiculous, detailed repayment list, which was shared by major marketing accounts.

【Cloud Meow: Oh my goodness, this is eye-opening. He even wants you to pay for the small pudding he treated you to, 75 cents!】

【Wind in My Hair: Who would’ve thought, he even counted the water he bought for you while chasing you, the bus fare for outings, and even the video site subscription fee!】

【Ghost Fire Boy: Is this fair? Why can guys like this have a girlfriend? Meanwhile, I’m still single o(╥﹏╥)o】

【Chestnut Eater: Thanks, already forwarded it to my matchmaker group.】

【Sunny Meow: Am I the only one who wants to know just how good those biscuits are? To make the original poster get her friends to grab them, and then have a cheap guy sell them at a markup…】

【Youyou Dangdang: This is it! Check out Lin You’s live stream! The milk-flavored biscuits are super delicious and milky!】

【Xixi’s Mom: I was just guessing based on the content, and sure enough, it’s the most popular biscuit in the past week on the mother-baby forum. The moms downstairs shared half a pack with me, and it really is delicious. It’s mainly good for strengthening the spleen and stomach, and after my child ate it, his appetite improved a lot.】

【Mountain Climbing for Weight Loss: Do we have to exaggerate like this? It’s just a milk biscuit. Does milk strengthen the spleen, or does the biscuit aid digestion? Don’t let yourselves be brainwashed by influencer products.】

【Xiao Yu: Lin You? Isn’t she that former actress who left the circle? I heard she went home to farm, and now she’s making biscuits?】

【Old Li from the Jianghu: Ha, of course, the stingy ex-boyfriend. It’s just soft advertising. The product placement is deep.】

While people were arguing, the ex-boyfriend of the blogger who posted the complaint appeared, but this time he responded on a gaming forum.

【Supreme Treasure: Thank you everyone for your attention to the bill incident. I am the ex-boyfriend of the blogger. I know many people are cursing me, but I want to say a few words for myself.

I was together with the original blogger during college. My family wasn’t well off, so after we got together, I worked part-time jobs for her. In my first year, I handed out flyers under the scorching sun, in my second year, I worked in a factory, and in my third year, I worked on a construction site. I ended up failing over ten courses during this time. Looking back, it was hard, but I don’t regret it at all. After all, I did it for love. I bought her phone, shoes, and bags, and when she said she wanted to move to a first-tier city to develop, I gave up the job my family arranged for me and followed her.

But time has shown that deep feelings can’t compete with time. The original blogger works in the glamorous GG industry, and as everyone knows, the atmosphere in that industry is something else. She used to carry bags worth a few hundred yuan, but later she was influenced by the atmosphere and started buying luxury items worth thousands. My view on spending has always been: if you really like something, no matter how expensive, I am willing to buy it for you. But the premise is that you truly like it, not because you’ve been brainwashed by luxury goods and peer pressure. So we argued a lot about this. Later, I made a mistake, I didn’t sell the biscuits but gave them to a friend. His child, who was half a year old, wasn’t in good health, and I heard his wife couldn’t get any biscuits, so I decided to give them to him.

I admit that this was my mistake, and I sincerely apologize. But if I had the chance again, I would still do the same because I couldn’t bear to see a child suffering. I am a very traditional person, and I always believed that family is one’s true home. So, no matter what, I thank Ms. Wang for her contributions over the years and wish her all the best in the future.

PS: As for the bill, it was just a spur-of-the-moment action when I was angry. It only listed some inconspicuous expenses. I didn’t include the phone, shoes, or bags I bought for her. My intention was to show I still had feelings for Ms. Wang, but now it’s all over. I hope people won’t continue to discuss these trivial details of the relationship.】

This response, posted on the gaming forum, was pinned to the top within two hours, and more people started to join the discussion.

【Li Bai, Super Handsome: Dude, you can lie to your friends, but don’t lie to yourself. You said your family was struggling, but then you gave up a job your family arranged for you. Did your family suddenly become rich in the four years of your college?】

【Supporter is Human Too: This guy is really something. He says one thing but then exposes the girl’s last name and posts a picture of them together. He mosaicked himself but left her face visible.】

【Han Xin Strengthened: Bro, you’re messing up. Even I can see through this. How do you expect anyone to stand by you?】

【Mi Yue: Can you just leave, you sneaky guy? If you really bought her something worth over five thousand, why are you posting these trivial bills? And why blame her for failing courses in college? How about taking responsibility for yourself? And then you talk about her being vain—how shameless!】

As the response was shared on other platforms, this trivial incident quickly became the center of attention and hit the trending search.

【Qiu Qiu: I’m going to puke. How can anyone be so disgusting? Even the words he typed reek of calculation.】

【Orthopedics Best to Knock: Has anyone noticed a small detail? Many people say they can accept women buying luxury goods, but if it’s because they’ve been brainwashed or influenced, it’s considered vanity. This language is really sneaky. Who decides what’s genuine love and what’s brainwashing? Isn’t it just a matter of flipping the script? If he says it’s vanity, it’s vanity. If you say you really like it, he’ll just say you were brainwashed… basically, he thinks you don’t deserve to buy expensive things.】

【White Whale: Passing the blame + throwing mud + cyberbullying + implying the girl is vain + claiming to be emotionally invested—this guy’s got all the tricks.】

Soon, someone recognized the woman in the photo, and some people who knew the details rushed out to defend her.

【Not Wanting to Work Overtime Today: Please, if I didn’t know the woman, I might think he has a point. But this guy is shameless. I was in the same class as her in college and advised her against dating him. I’m not discriminating against guys from poor families, but the issue is, this guy had nothing else to offer. Always failing courses, playing games all day. He says he worked part-time, but it’s all nonsense. He was always lying in the dormitory and never went out. And he always borrowed money from the girl. That they stayed together until now is only because she’s a saint.】

【Drawing is Hard: Have some dignity. You call her vain, but I don’t understand. She spends her own money to buy a bag, and you’re all over her? She buys a bag worth a few thousand, and you’re complaining. But when it was your birthday, you asked for those thousand-dollar sneakers. After two years of graduation, you’ve changed several law firms, but you still don’t have any career progress, and you’re living off your girlfriend. How dare you say she’s vain? You’re slinging mud so well. I don’t think you should ever be a lawyer. You’re just flipping the truth and messing up others’ lives!】

With such fierce backlash, someone soon uncovered the man’s platform account. Even screenshots from second-hand platforms were posted, showing the conversation with the biscuit buyer.

【Xiao Qing: I don’t know what to say. This guy initiated the price negotiation. I don’t know him personally, it’s just a business transaction. As for giving it to a friend’s child, I can confirm that my husband doesn’t know him either. I can only apologize to the woman. I truly didn’t know where the biscuits came from.】

This ongoing series of reversals kept the onlookers busy, and soon the woman struck the final blow.

【Miss Wang: Thank you all for your support and help. Regarding Mr. Zhang’s response, I find it quite unbelievable. I won’t say much, but I’ve attached screenshots of the bank transfers and some daily conversations below. The truth is clear to everyone. By the way, I’ve already hired a law firm and will be suing for defamation. PS: The biscuits weren’t sold to GG, they really are delicious.】

The screenshots she posted clearly verified the girl’s statements, while the man quietly deleted his post on the gaming forum, hoping to brush it off as if nothing had happened. However, the netizens were not going to let him off so easily. The resourceful netizens uncovered his workplace and name, and the law firm quickly took action and fired him.

Halfway through, Lin You’s name started trending, but this time the content wasn’t about her directly, instead…

【Qingcheng Mountain: Biscuits, biscuits! Who has biscuits! I’m willing to buy at three times the price!】

【Beef Mixed with Vermicelli: Is it really that delicious? Don’t joke with me, I’ll rush to grab some now.】

【Planting Flowers: It really is delicious, but you won’t be able to get it, Lin You said that next time when they have more stock, they’ll stream.】

【Five-Spice Chicken Feet: Wait, is this biscuit packaging really that ugly? Can something so ugly really taste good?】

【Qian You: Don’t judge the biscuit by its packaging, and the shop said they will be updating the packaging soon.】

【Fei Fei Snow: !!!!!! Everyone, look! My goddess said she’s doing the packaging design for the biscuits!】

【Salted Duck Egg: !!! Your goddess even has a photo with Lin You! Wow, Lin You looks even better now!】

【Eat Meat: This could be submitted to the craziest events in any dimension, how do these two know each other? Could they be from the same hometown?】

【Qian You: Now that you mention it, this background looks like a mountain, maybe it really is a mountain.】

【Meow Meow: !!! Everyone, look, Yanxia Mountain Milk Biscuits has set up an account, they’re giving away 100 prizes!】

【Five-Spice Chicken Feet: I tried a little, and of course, I didn’t win. But I saw the official account say that the biscuits are also sold offline, though only at the Yanhua Mountain outlet… Anyone from there, could you please help me buy some?】

【Salted Duck Egg: Hehe, I just realized this mountain is in the neighboring city. I’ll go grab some this week!】

Yang Zhi took a screenshot of the message and sent it to Lin You. Posting about doing the packaging design was a spur-of-the-moment decision, since such a good buzz could help promote Yanhua Mountain, but the scope of the discussion clearly went beyond her expectations.

“Youyou, do you think the store has enough biscuits to sell?”

Now, the townspeople are all talking about how good the milk biscuits are, and the small batches they release sell out by noon every day. Some people from the county also buy when they come, and on weekends, they usually sell out by 9 AM.

So… what if a big wave of people comes?

Yang Zhi is a little worried that her unlimited eat-all-you-can share might not last.

Lin You has been busy with planting mugwort these past few days and hasn’t had the chance to keep up with the online discussions. But both Yang Zhi and Du Xun sent messages, which made her understand what had happened before and after.

She didn’t quite know what expression to make.

In her previous life, she worked hard to stream regularly to create buzz, but this time, the buzz came in the most bizarre ways, almost like it was delivered to her doorstep.

Yang Zhi’s message expressed concern, while Du Xun’s message was much clearer.

“Boss, please increase production!”

Lin You put down the hoe and, after a moment’s thought, went to find Bo Chuan, who was digging the ground nearby.

Bo Chuan worked very quickly in the fields, and no one knew where he got such strength from. Every morning and evening, before starting his work, he would take a walk up the mountain, give directions to Aunt Chunling and her husband on where to graze the cows, check the beehives to make sure they were in a good spot and weren’t taking in water, then go to the Taoist temple to do some chores. After lunch, he would go up the mountain again to plant crops.

Planting mugwort wasn’t tiring, but the area was large. Lin You had even hired some villagers to help, but even with seven or eight people, they couldn’t keep up with Bo Chuan’s speed.

In just two days, most of the mugwort had already been planted.

Lin You stood in front of Bo Chuan, giving him a flattering smile.

Bo Chuan quietly stood up and wiped the mud off his pants.

“Is there something you need?”

Lin You conveyed Du Xun’s thoughts, and also expressed her own.

“I also think we should expand the number of cows. The calves will take another year to grow, but we can buy a few cows first.”

The demand was much higher than expected. The consumption in the town alone was more than they could supply, and they couldn’t let people leave empty-handed.

Bo Chuan grunted softly, “Do as you see fit.”

The matter of buying cows didn’t need much concern from the two of them. Aunt Chunling still had the phone number of the previous seller, and with just one call, they had four cows delivered in no time. However, when these newly bought cows were placed next to the other cows in the Taoist temple, the difference was obvious.

The temple’s cows looked sleek and well-fed, tall, and even their eyes sparkled.

The cow seller arrived with the delivery truck and couldn’t take his eyes off the cows.

“How do you raise these cows? They really look good.”

Aunt Chunling didn’t know, she just followed Bo Chuan’s instructions, taking the cows up the mountain to graze every day, and after that, they ate vegetables. The villagers grew plenty of vegetables, and some of them got damaged in the process. The damaged ones were discarded, and those were fed to the cows.

Maybe it was because the village’s vegetables had been improving lately?

The cow seller walked around the cows, clearly coveting them.

“Miss, are you planning to breed these cows? If so, could you let me handle the next breeding? I won’t charge you anything, I’ll find you the best bull. There’s just one condition—if the calves are born, I’ll buy a few from you!”

“Such good calves! I’ll take them back and raise them well, maybe change up the breeding a bit.”

Now, Aunt Chunling worked for Lin You and Bo Chuan, and after asking Lin You, she gave the seller a definitive answer. The seller left, constantly turning his head to look back at the cows.

Aunt Chunling smiled gently, “Let’s go!”

She led the new cows up the mountain for a big feast. Afterward, they had another meal of tomatoes and cucumbers, and the cows happily swung their tails, clearly enjoying themselves.

Normally, cows couldn’t start producing milk immediately after being moved to a new location, but these new cows started producing milk within two or three days. Aunt Chunling boiled some milk and tasted it—it was exactly the same as before.

With milk now available, the biscuit factory in the town was finally able to run its machines for a full day.

By the time the weekend arrived, Fangping Town saw the highest visitor traffic in its history.

“Hello everyone, I’m Xiao Bai, here to guide you through the beautiful scenery of China. Today, we’ve arrived at Yanxia Mountain. I’m sure many of you have heard about it. Yanxia Mountain has become quite popular lately, so as a local of Lu City, I’m here to show you around and let you know what you can enjoy if you decide to visit.”

A youthful and vibrant young woman, dressed in sun protection clothing, stood by the edge of Fangping Town, live streaming with her phone. She was a small-time streamer with just over 10,000 followers. After graduating, she returned home to start her own media venture, focusing on local food, entertainment, and tourism in Lu City.

A few days ago, after reading about the famous lawyer and his involvement in a scandal, she quickly spotted an opportunity.

Compared to other bloggers who hadn’t reacted yet, she was the closest and thus had the advantage. Without hesitation, she called up her best friend and headed to Yanxia Mountain.

It was the weekend, and many young people from Jingshui County were already closely following online trends. Once they heard about the popular influencer cookies at Yanxia Mountain, they immediately rallied together to head up the mountain.

Xiao Bai was among the early arrivals. Before getting there, she had worried about parking, but upon arrival, she found that someone was already directing the traffic.

The town had also caught wind of the latest online buzz. At the request of a few young people, they quickly mobilized the town’s civil servants, expanded the parking lot, and arranged for staff to direct the traffic at the town’s entrance, all to ensure that visitors had a positive experience.

“Drive in, there are designated parking spots inside, and parking is free. If anyone asks you to scan a QR code, please contact our staff for assistance.”

A young girl with a round face and freckles, wearing a straw hat and a T-shirt emblazoned with the name of Yanxia Mountain, was running back and forth, ensuring that the roads didn’t become too crowded.

Xiao Bai immediately felt much better about the place. She whispered to her best friend, “Hey, the leaders here are really doing a good job. I thought we’d be asked to pay an astronomical parking fee when we got here.”

Visiting undeveloped places can be great, but sometimes the locals stop your car to charge road tolls or parking fees. If that happens, even the best mood can be ruined.

Fortunately, everything was going smoothly today, and as time passed, the live stream audience began to grow.

【Fei Fei: Is this Yanxia Mountain? Do you do purchasing on behalf of others, streamer?】

【Giant Rabbit: So early, streamer, you’re working hard!】

【River’s Endless Flow: Wow, it’s already this bright up on the mountain, and it’s still dark where we are!】

【Losing Weight is Hard: What’s so special about the mountain? Aren’t all the views the same?】

Xiao Bai chatted with her best friend, occasionally answering questions from the comments. After parking the car, they followed the signs towards the morning market.

“Besides the famous milk cookies, Yanxia Mountain has a few other things worth trying. First, the vegetables—apparently, all the vegetables here are pure green, and they taste great. Also, the morning market here is quite well-known. Let’s start by checking out the morning market.”

As they walked forward, the street that previously had only a few scattered stalls had now expanded considerably. Stalls lined both sides of the road.

The town didn’t impose many requirements on the new stalls. The only rule was that the vendors couldn’t cross the yellow line, so as not to block the road too much. Xiao Bai couldn’t help but feel that her phone was struggling to keep up with the scene.

Steaming buns, fragrant beef and sesame bread twirling in the air, beef and lamb soups, various old-style snacks… There were even people selling pottery repair services, vegetable-dyeing skirts, homemade furniture, and spicy lamb fat…

【Jiangnan Misty Rain: Wow, they even have honey for sale! Can you buy it for me, streamer? I’m willing to pay extra!】

【Honey Three Knives: I haven’t seen this pottery repair for a long time. I remember when I was a kid, people used to shout “pottery repair” while walking around with their tools.】

【Let’s Exercise: The one selling tie-dye skirts! Streamer, can you buy one for me?】

【Light Breeze and Clear Clouds: Boohoo, this morning market really looks just like the one in my memories. I want to go there and take a stroll too.】

Xiao Bai and her best friend were also overwhelmed, seeing more and more people asking for purchases in the comments. Xiao Bai decided to respond: “Due to time constraints, I’ll only purchase for ten people. Private message me on the backend, and I’ll buy them on-site later. Once I’m done, I’ll ship them out directly.”

But the immediate priority was to get something to eat.

Who knew that there would be so many breakfast stalls in this town, each one smelling incredibly delicious? Xiao Bai had gotten up early, and by now, she was starving.

The two of them bought buns, sesame cakes, and oil cakes, and paired them with some pickled vegetables and thick porridge from the bun stall.

The buns were soft and fragrant, the beef stuffed in the sesame cake was sizzling with oil, and the oil cakes were filled with sweet red bean paste that crumbled with every bite. Even the pickled vegetables were a pleasant surprise—crunchy, refreshing, tangy, and slightly spicy.

They couldn’t even speak, too focused on eating, while the comments flooded in with excited reactions.

Once they finished eating, Xiao Bai, holding her belly, realized she had overindulged.

“Nothing more to say, just dive in, guys! Whether it’s the buns or the porridge, everything’s super tasty. Especially the pickled vegetables, they’re amazing. I’m going to ask the owner if they sell them…”

With a smile, Wang Xianghua, no longer shy, saw someone filming her and didn’t shrink away. She cheerfully explained that they didn’t sell the pickled vegetables, but she gave some to Xiao Bai, making her feel a bit embarrassed.

【Fei Fei: The people in the mountain areas are really down-to-earth. I was just thinking, that bun is so big, and it’s stuffed with meat, yet it’s only 80 cents each.】

【Mo Mo: Exactly, even the beef firebread is only a few cents. It’s so cheap!】

Shouting “so cheap” all the way, Xiao Bai couldn’t resist buying some items for herself while shopping for others.

A small handwoven basket from a farmer? Bought! Perfect for storing snacks.

Old-fashioned snacks? Bought! To let her parents taste the flavors from their memories.

Honey straight from the hive? Bought! It’s rare to find real honey like this, so she bought a few bottles to give as gifts.

After completing a round of the morning market, Xiao Bai realized she was already carrying so much that she could hardly hold it all.

There was no choice but to put everything in the car, and the two of them continued to shop.

They went to the cookie shop, only to be shocked by the crowd. People were everywhere, with the line stretching several dozen meters.

Xiao Bai had planned to buy some cookies for others, but when she got to the front, she found that there was a purchase limit—only two bags per person.

A young man behind her was shouting into his phone: “There’s a limit on cookies, you can only buy two bags per person. How about this, I’ll send you one today, and tomorrow when I get more, I’ll send you the other one. Is that okay?”

Xiao Bai and her best friend exchanged glances, both realizing that the man behind them was a scalper.

Scalpers were inevitable in this situation. Lin You had anticipated this, so she had already made arrangements with Du Xun. Limiting purchases to two bags per person wasn’t going to completely eliminate scalpers, but at least making them wait in line longer was a small way to show respect for other customers.

It wasn’t even nine o’clock yet, but the staff at the cookie shop had already started using a loudspeaker to shout: “We’re out of stock! Please come early tomorrow!”

After the shop closed, several employees finally had a chance to drink some water.

“Hiss, there are really so many people today. Do you think there will still be this many tomorrow?”

“Who knows, tomorrow’s still the weekend.”

Xiao Bai bought the cookies and overheard some people who clearly had been here several times, shouting to go buy vegetables. After asking around, she found out there was a place on the mountain where they could barbecue.

The two of them also bought various vegetables and meat. The butcher, seeing that they were here for fun, even offered to slice the meat for them.

The pork belly was sliced, and the lamb was cut into chunks. When they rented the barbecue grill, they also picked up seasonings and oil. They sat on stone benches by the river, skewered the ingredients, and started grilling. The stone tables even thoughtfully had instructions on how to grill.

The sizzling barbecue paired with drinks, and a bite of the cold dishes they bought in town made the comments stop calling out in hunger like earlier. Instead, they were now saying…

【Quick, book me a ticket! I want to go to Yanxia Mountain too!】

Lin You had only recently realized that Yanxia Mountain had become a popular tourist spot. Recently, Yao Jiu had even advised her to be cautious when going to the town, not to be recognized.

“If you’re recognized, the town will probably be even more crowded!”

Lin You smiled helplessly. A few days ago, Xiao Ma from Lianhua Village had also mentioned that the town had decided to fix the roads. Not only that, but they were going to paint a designated parking lot on the outskirts of the town. Even the riverside was going to be renovated, with more stone tables and benches added.

Yao Jiu, eating some pork jerky Lin You had just made, noticed that the last batch Lin You made was too sweet, but this time it was spicy and numbing. She couldn’t stop eating.

After drinking a big glass of water, Yao Jiu noticed a bucket under the table.

“What’s in this bucket?”

Lin You: “Hive. A few days ago, I harvested some honey again, and what was left behind was the honeycomb.”

It was strange, indeed. After the locust flowers bloomed, Lin You had placed the beehive in the mountains. Recently, the weather had been getting warmer, and the flowers had bloomed more. The bees were making honey from all sorts of flowers, so it was mixed wildflower honey, and the variety couldn’t be distinguished. It wasn’t much of a problem, but when Lin You went up the mountain a few days ago, she was surprised to find that the beehive she had harvested from not long ago was full again!

Not only was the honey overflowing, but the bee frames were so full there wasn’t enough space, and the bees had even started building honeycombs on the cover.

With no other option, Lin You called for Bo Chuan, and the two of them, with their limited experience, followed an online tutorial to split the beehive.

Now, she had two beehives.

Yao Jiu scratched the back of her head. “What can honeycomb be used for? Is it for medicine?”

She had only heard that dried honeycomb could be used in medicine, and it seemed to be quite expensive.

Lin You shook her head. “Not for medicine. I’m planning to make some beeswax.”
