Chapter 51 Fruit Essence
Except for the mushrooms that he saved for dinner that night, Josh sold all the rest in one go.

Making this simple butter gratin mushrooms tonight.

Separate the mushroom caps and stems. Josh will only eat the tender and smooth cap mushrooms tonight, and keep the remaining mushroom stems to dry and make them into fragrant fried mushroom feet.

Take a large spoonful of butter and melt it in a small pot. Place the washed mushroom caps facing up and fry them over low heat to bring out the juice and aroma. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on them and they are ready to eat.

Not all mushrooms are the same variety, and some mushrooms have very little juice. Josh puts them face down to soak them in the butter, which makes them taste unique.

There are many valuable high-attribute mushrooms among them. Unfortunately, although Josh is an energy user, his energy is rarely used in daily life and there is almost no loss. After eating these good things, he can only taste them, but can't really feel the satisfaction of having his empty body filled with energy.

Just fill your hungry stomach.

------

A day later, Qiao Xi regretted the big talk he had said yesterday. What did he mean by having an endless supply of energy? It was used up too quickly.

When Josh got up in the morning and inspected the farm as usual, he found that the crisp honey lime tree seemed to be showing signs of dying.

This really scared her. Why did she suddenly become unwell for no reason?

As Qiao Xi studied it up and down, he found that the originally green leaves of the Crisp Honey Lemon had turned yellow. Hidden on the treetop was a green branch with a small fruit that was as green as jade and crystal clear.

Josh's heart was pounding. Could it be?

She had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't dare to confirm.

"Kong Yanshu, can you help me pick that fruit?" Qiao Xi called Kong Yanshu over and asked, pointing at the fruit.

"Squeak!" Of course.

The empty rock rat looked like it was a piece of cake.

He climbed up the crisp honey lemon tree in a few steps and moved towards the top of the tree step by step.

As the rock rat exclaimed, Josh's anticipation grew stronger.

Ever since he discovered the difference between it and other giant lemons, Qiao Xi would give the Crisp Honey Lemon special treatment from time to time. He would fertilize other trees once, but he would fertilize them twice; he would water other trees once, but he would water them twice.

In short, every time Qiao Xi came to the orchard, he would listen carefully to what they needed, and then double the amount of Crisp Honey Lemon he needed.

Did it work so quickly? Josh stared closely at the small figure.

I saw it stretch out its claws and try to pick it up, but it failed to pick it up. Instead, it rolled backwards. Fortunately, its tail hooked onto the branch.

Qiao Xi's heart was in his throat. He took a step forward and wanted to catch the little squirrel, but fortunately it rolled over and turned back.

"Squeak!" Qiao Xi said pitifully, "I can't take it off. It's so strong."

"I saw it. Let me try." Qiao Xi began to try to use his abilities to output for the first time.

If it can't be picked, it means it's not ripe, but it's obvious that Crisp Honey Lemon has used up all its strength to nourish this fruit and has no energy left to supply it.

This is also the reason why the essence of the fruit rarely appears. The energy required is too great, and ordinary magic fruit trees do not have enough attribute fertilizer supply, so the fruit easily becomes useless.

This crisp honey lemon tree mutated by chance, and thanks to the large-tailed yak dung fertilized by Josh from time to time, it had the good fortune to produce a fruit essence. However, its own attribute energy was insufficient, and even draining itself dry still failed to provide enough energy for the fruit essence. If Josh hadn't come and seen it today, both the tree and the fruit would have been doomed.

After just one night, the tree produced the essence of fruit. Josh patted the trunk and said, "It's really capable."

Then he slowly released energy into the crisp honey lemon tree, and the energy was absorbed instantly like a mud dragon entering the sea.

Qiao Xi gathered all his energy and gave it his all.

Huh~Huh~Josh's breathing became heavier and heavier, all the energy in his body was almost drained out. Hold on, hold on a little longer!
Finally, Qiao Xi saw that the crystal clear little fruit suddenly swelled up, the stem shriveled up, and it was ripe!

If the rock rat moved on the treetop, it would fall down, and Josh was so scared that his heart almost stopped beating.

do not!
Fortunately, the big tail of the empty rock rat once again hooked the branch, and it successfully embraced the essence of the crisp honey lemon fruit.

Josh dragged his heavy body to take the empty rock rat down from the tree and sat down under the tree.

The man and the mouse looked at each other in bewilderment, as if the fruit had fallen from the sky, and they didn't know what to do with it.

"Kongkong, is this the legendary fruit essence? Why is it different from your iron walnut?" Qiao Xi took the fruit and observed it carefully in the sunlight. What a beautiful fruit.

"Squeak!" The essence of each fruit is different. Before I left the tribe, I heard that the essence of each fruit is unique and is a gift from nature to the lucky ones.

"Oh, I see." Josh sighed.

But a new problem arises: what should be done with this fruit essence? The fruit essence contains almost all the attribute energy of the magic fruit tree, and the energy is extremely abundant.

Should I keep it for myself? How should I consume it? Should I consume it directly or do I need to refine it? Who should consume it to maximize its energy?
Take it out and sell it? How to sell it? Set up a stall to sell it? Qiao Xi is not a strong expeditionary force. If he rashly takes such a precious thing out to sell, he will definitely be noticed, and then the peace of the farm will be broken.

All sorts of thoughts popped up in Josh's mind at once. He suddenly had a priceless treasure and he really didn't know what to do with it.

Moreover, the Crisp Honey Lemon is a new magic fruit tree that has never appeared on the market, which means that its efficacy is not yet clear to everyone, and they may not even trust Josh.

The fruit came too early, and Josh was still a country bumpkin and didn't even know what to do with it.

The Sky Rock Rat didn't care and told Qiao Xi that if he was too worried, he could just eat it. Anyway, her ability could help improve the quality of the magic fruit tree, and there would be more opportunities in the future, so he shouldn't worry about it.

Having said that, Qiao Xi was afraid of damaging such a precious thing in his hand, so he didn't dare to eat it.

He carefully held it up and found the big-tailed yak, "Big-tailed yak, look, what is this? Our orchard has produced the essence of fruit!" Although he was confused, he must share such a happy thing with the big-tailed yak first.

It's a pity that the brown-headed vulture went to sleep again and didn't come out, otherwise Qiao Xi would have had a good talk with it for not noticing the changes in the orchard.

I almost missed such a great treasure.

Originally, Qiao Xi had planned to prepare for land reclamation after inspecting the orchard, but now that the fruits have appeared, he no longer has the mood to do that.

Holding the fruit in his hands, he happily talked to the jumping lambs, the digging pigs, the digging rats, and even the busy dung beetles.

This was a big happy event for the whole farm. Josh held the fruit and smiled foolishly for a long time.
