Chapter 75 Citrus Seedlings
Chapter 75 Citrus Seedlings
By the time the sun was almost setting in the fairy tale world, Xia Shiyu had finished cleaning up the fruit.
After she came down, she looked at the large barrels in front of her. Each one was taller than her, and she couldn't see what was inside at all.
But based on her observation just now, the nectar inside must be especially sweet and delicious.
When the giant came to clean up, he saw her looking at the large barrels with longing in her eyes.
The giant thought for a moment, then turned around and found a smaller container, and began to put some of the collected fruit nectar into the small bucket.
Then she placed the small bucket in her palm and handed it to Xia Shiyu, saying, "This is for you."
Xia Shiyu was overjoyed, "Really? Can I have something so precious?"
After all, she could tell that this plant must have required a lot of effort from people.
The giant nodded gently, and Xia Shiyu carefully lifted the white bucket down after seeing the giant nod, even though it was a small bucket for the giant.
But for her, the small bucket had already reached her waist, and it was full of fruit nectar.
Xia Shiyu took a deep, intoxicating sniff of the aroma.
This is amazing! She has never experienced such good honey before; it tastes and feels completely different from regular honey.
After she accepted the fruit honey, the system popped up a notification that her daily task was completed.
Then the giant took out the citrus sapling she had initially agreed to and placed it next to her.
Xia Shiyu felt a little embarrassed. She thought the giant was too kind and was such a good farmer.
So she hugged the sapling and the white bucket filled with nectar with both hands, smiled at the giant, and said, "Thank you so much."
Afterwards, Xia Shiyu returned to the beginner's room, put down his things, and then quickly left.
After going outside, I found that there was no sound from the house, so I figured my parents must have gone out to do other things.
She was home alone, so she could check the two items she had just received.
She first took a look at the citrus seedlings, since they would be the main fruit for the coming winter.
"Citrus No. 563 grows quickly and is now in its semi-mature stage. It is cold-resistant, highly nutritious, and tastes excellent."
Xia Shiyu was very satisfied with the detailed introduction. As expected of a giant, they were very generous and easily provided her with the saplings she needed.
After examining the item closely, Xia Shiyu set it aside and took out a spoon and a cup. She was now very curious about what the fruit honey would taste like.
She filled a small cup with the fruit nectar and then carefully scooped out a spoonful and put it in her mouth.
How can I describe this flavor? This fruit honey tastes like a variety of fruits, but it doesn't feel jarring. It has a subtle sweetness that isn't overly sweet, and the flavor is refreshing.
All my words can be summed up in one sentence: "Mmm, delicious!"
Xia Shiyu also diluted the fruit honey with water, which made it slightly less sweet, but it was still a pleasure to drink.
It tastes amazing and is of superior quality; no wonder the giants cultivated this honey themselves.
It has a truly unique flavor, which made Xia Shiyu somewhat tempted by this tree. If you raise bees, you have to be careful of getting stung, but if you raise fruit trees, you don't have to worry about that at all.
This is a unique flavor, how could anyone not be tempted?
Xia Shiyu was immediately excited, but she ultimately decided against it. This could definitely be called technological innovation; she would consider other fruits for the time being.
After Xia Shiyu finished drinking the fruit honey water in the cup, she carefully stored the fruit honey in the fairy tale world. These were originally products of the fairy tale world, so they could be put in there. However, if they were things from the real world, not even a chopstick could be put in there.
But this is also very convenient, at least these things can be put inside.
As for the citrus seedlings, the system said it would be delivered to her by express tomorrow.
After all, we still need to solve the source problem, so we still need to ship the goods from there.
As for the fruit nectar, let's just consider it a gift from the fairy tale company to her.
Anyway, she always signed for the packages, and her family just watched what she took out; they didn't interfere much.
Actually, she had planned to use this excuse to take out the grapes last time, but because of her aunt's incident, she was in a hurry and forgot.
Let's wait until the grapes are fully ripe before we all eat them together.
After sorting things out, Xia Shiyu went to check on her family's chickens and ducks.
After a month of raising them, the chicks have now grown into little chicks. Xia Shiyu nodded in satisfaction, knowing they would definitely be ready for the New Year's Eve dinner.
After looking around, Xia Shiyu wandered around again and felt that the mountain and her own land had been arranged almost completely.
Xia Shiyu touched his chin, thinking that he probably still needed to find some more vegetables to plant, otherwise there would be too few vegetables in winter, and it would be quite a waste to leave such a long period of land empty.
She thought about it for a moment but couldn't think of anything good, so she decided to leave it for now and think about it again later.
She went into the kitchen, where her grandmother was already cooking.
Actually, my grandmother had said before that she would only stay at their house for a while and then go back, but the family felt that there was nothing wrong with the elderly living here.
At first, the grandparents were a little embarrassed, but then Xia Shiyu got busy and they joined in on the vegetable growing project. Once they felt they could help, they stopped mentioning going back.
Grandma is digging potatoes; there aren't many potatoes left in the house.
She sighed a few times, "I remember we still had some potatoes where we live, but we've planted fewer in the last two years. Before, we could eat more than we could finish every day."
While Xia Shiyu was helping to dig up potatoes, a brilliant idea suddenly struck her—she finally knew what to plant.
Potato!
To be honest, she hadn't thought of this before, because potatoes are so common and available all year round.
Moreover, when she lived in the dormitory during high school, potatoes were available at almost every window of the cafeteria.
Stir-fried potato slices with fermented soybean paste, fried potato chunks, stewed beef with potatoes—potatoes are always a staple in these dishes.
But no matter how delicious something is, if you eat too much of it, you'll get sick of it temporarily. During that time, she really didn't want to see potatoes, and she wouldn't touch the potato dish when she got home.
Things are much better now, but my fondness for potatoes isn't as strong as before. I mostly enjoy potato-based snacks like French fries, potato chips, and potato chips with fangs.
She doesn't eat much home-cooked food anymore, but now her grandmother has given her an idea: she could definitely grow some potatoes.
It just so happens that they like to grow winter potatoes here in winter. Potatoes are another name for potatoes. Winter potatoes, as the name suggests, are potatoes planted in winter and belong to the category of cold-resistant potatoes.
This type of potato is perfect for planting at this time of year!
