Qingmu glanced at the speechless Juhua and stifled his laughter. "They're only good if you add sugar," he said. "But we don't have any."
Zhang Huai quickly chimed in, "I've been meaning to tell you, but I keep forgetting. There's a huge beehive in the woods on that mountain over there. We should go knock it down and get some honey."
Juhua's face lit up. Her gloomy mood over the cucumbers vanished in an instant. 'Honey mixed with egg whites would make an even better face mask! Besides, honey is delicious.'
After a moment, though, she grew a little worried. "Honey is great, of course," she said to the two of them. "But what if we get stung? Wouldn't that be a huge problem? Some bees are highly venomous."
Seeing how interested Juhua seemed in the honey only strengthened Zhang Huai's resolve to get the hive.
