The Legend of Belgorod Kissel
In the summer of 997. The Pechenegs came and stood near Belgorod. And they did not allow to leave the city. The siege dragged on, and there was a strong famine in the city.
And they gathered veche 1 in the city and said:
We will soon starve to death. Let us surrender to the Pechenegs - maybe they will at least keep someone alive, otherwise we will all die.
One elder, who was not at the veche, asked: "Why was the veche?" And people told him that in the morning they want to surrender to the Pechenegs. When he heard about this, he sent for the city elders and said to them:
Listen to me, don't give up for three more days and do as I tell you.
They gladly promised to obey.
And he said to them:
Collect at least a handful of oats, wheat, or bran.
They collected. And he ordered the women to make a chatterbox, from which jelly is boiled, to dig a well, and pour the chatterbox into a tub and lower it into the well. And he ordered to dig another well, and insert a tub into it, and look for honey. Found a basket of honey in the prince's pantry. And he ordered to dilute the honey and pour it into a tub in the second well.
In the morning he ordered to send for the Pechenegs. And the townspeople said, coming to the Pechenegs:
Take hostages from us, and send ten men yourself to see what is happening in our city.
The Pechenegs were delighted, thinking that they wanted to surrender to them, chose the best husbands and sent them to the city.
And they came to the city, and the people said to them:
Why are you ruining yourself? How can you stand up to us? Even if you stand ten years, what will you do to us? For we have food from the earth. If you don't believe me, see it with your own eyes.
And they brought them to a well, where there was a jar of jelly, and they took it with a bucket and poured it into the pots. And when they cooked jelly, they took it, and came to another well, and drew honey, and began to eat themselves and gave it to the Pechenegs. And the Pechenegs were surprised and said: "Our princes will not believe us if they do not taste it themselves."
People poured a pot of jelly mash and honey from a well and gave it to the Pechenegs. When they returned, they told everything that happened. And, having cooked, the Pechenezh princes ate and marveled. And, having released the hostages, they got up and went home from the city.
