Communicate with furry animals without any barriers, and take the farm to the next level

Chapter 88: Canned Chestnut Beans
Since it was his first time making it, Josh only planned to make a small pot to try it out first.

Scoop a full bowl of bitter chestnut beans from the basin, add cold water and blanch them for ten minutes.

When the time is up, take out and soak in water.

Qiao Xi wanted to be quick and didn't plan to soak it for too long, as he was in a hurry to eat it, so the bitterness might not have been completely removed.

But she took a bite and tasted it. It was okay, acceptable. After adding the ingredients, the taste would not be so obvious.

She was not just doing it to satisfy her appetite, but mainly to prepare for Puda's visit tomorrow.

The taro beads on the taro bamboo had long since finished growing, so Qiao Xi could dig taro on a large scale. The bitter chestnut beans and ground beans had matured one after another, and the farm had ushered in a real harvest season.

However, the harvest at the magic fruit forest was less than satisfactory. The longleaf hook apple and butter apple trees that should have produced fruit in the fall were still half-grown and had been newly transplanted. The farm only produced a handful of fruit this year, not even enough for Josh to eat alone, so it was better not to mention it.

The few remaining sweet persimmon trees left by Qiao Xi are full of small persimmons hanging on the branches. It is unknown how many fruits will be able to grow successfully in the end. Now they are only half the size of a fist, very astringent, and have a greenish-blue color.

For the past six months, Qiao Xi has been watering and fertilizing them, hoping that they will not be like the two Xiangyang orange trees, which were all blown down by the wind at the last moment. They are obviously big, round and plump, but in the end they all go to the jumping lambs. They are not yet ripe and very sour. Only the jumping lambs can enjoy this taste. Qiao Xi and the golden macaques can only sigh and watch the oranges.

The reason why Puda came this time was, firstly, to visit and strengthen the cooperative relationship after such a long cooperation, and secondly, to inspect whether the farm has high-quality products so as to carry out the next stage of cooperation.

All Qiao Xi has to do is to show the farm's high-quality crops as much as possible, so as to make Puda excited and give her a price that satisfies her.

Canned bitter chestnut beans was the first dish she prepared to serve to Puda.

Canned food is the most popular food for the expeditionary corps in the secret realm for a long time. Compared with nutrient solution and energy bars, canned food can maximize the original flavor of the ingredients, and is far superior to the former in terms of both taste and texture.

Although bitter chestnut beans are nothing new as raw materials for energy cans, what Josh made today is a completely different and alien flavor.

Well, the taste of the previous life, for the current world, how come the world in the past is not considered a different world?
While the bitter chestnut beans soaked, Josh had time to prepare some ingredients.

She recently bought some fruits similar to white onions from the free market, but it is said that they grow underground and are different from the onions Josh knew before.

However, the taste is very similar. She also left her contact information with the stall owner. If he can make the ideal taste, she will need to buy a large amount.

The two names seemed to be "pungent fruit" or "mischief fruit". Qiao Xi found it a bit difficult to pronounce, so he just called it "onion".

Wash off the dirt covering its skin and remove the roots. Unlike real onions, its roots grow all over the fruit, so you need to peel the entire fruit to clean it.

Of course, the cleaning process was inevitably tearful. Josh took a big mouthful of water in his mouth, trying to defeat magic with magic, but ultimately failed.

This evil fruit was not as easy to fool as the onion before. When it was time to cry, Josh couldn't hold back his tears. They flowed all over his face like a faucet was turned on.

Fortunately, despite the tears, Josh finished chopping all the onions, cutting them in half and then finely dicing them to make it easier to stir-fry them later. As for the other protagonist, Josh had also made preparations early.

The pinching fruit is a synonym for the alien version of thin skin and large filling. The fruit is bright red and soft. It will burst with a light pinch, splashing red juice all over your face.

Once, the juice of the exploded juice accidentally splashed onto Qiao Xi's mouth. She licked it and was surprised. Isn't this ketchup?

This is totally ready-made quality seasoning.

The reason why the pinching fruit was discovered was that there was a piece of wasteland by the lake, which was very muddy and naughty jumping lambs were often trapped there. Qiao Xi originally planned to let the big-tailed yak change the terrain there and completely submerge the wasteland in the lake. As a result, she found pinching fruits everywhere and she couldn't bear to leave them behind.

The short shrubs were dotted with countless red pinch fruits, which looked very festive. She named the wasteland the pinch fruit swamp.

However, Josh also paid the price for her carelessness. She directly crushed a pinching fruit and ate it as ketchup to mix with salad. That day, the iron-like little girl Josh was completely defeated.

The vomiting and diarrhea almost killed her.

But after Qiao Xi recovered, she still didn't give up. After all, she was a little girl who loved ketchup.

After she tried cooking the pinch fruit, she was surprised to find that the toxicity seemed to have disappeared, so she specifically asked Mr. Luman about this.

Mr. Luman was puzzled and shocked by her careless eating behavior. He told Qiao Xi that the pinch fruit is very toxic, but the toxicity will be inactivated under the stimulation of high temperature. In principle, the cooked pinch fruit will not be poisonous and can be eaten.

But he also did not recommend that Josh eat too much pinching fruit. After all, no one would eat this kind of thing. There are some non-toxic and nutritious attribute crops. He did not understand why Josh was obsessed with this fruit that did not contain attribute energy and had the risk of poisoning.

In this regard, Josh could only remain silent. How could he explain this?
People from other worlds will never understand the value of eating a bowl of scrambled eggs with tomatoes here.

To peel the pinch fruit, you just need to tear a hole in it and all the juice will flow out through this hole.

Josh likes the rich tomato flavor, so she prepared a full eight pinch fruits.

Perhaps because it is poisonous, almost no animals eat the ripe pinch fruits, and even insects ignore them. The fruits have no scars, so there is no need to worry about them hanging on the branches.

Remove from heat and add the flavored butter that Josh had recently made from the milk of the jumping lamb. There was no other way, as there was not enough big-tail yak milk, so he had to use the remaining jumping lamb milk.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from simple to luxurious, but difficult to go from luxurious to frugal. After being used to the rich and fragrant big-tail yak butter, this jumping lamb butter doesn’t taste as good no matter how you eat it.

But it is not the protagonist today, so it’s okay and doesn’t affect anything.

A large spoonful of butter was added, which slowly melted as the temperature in the pot rose, emitting a faint aroma. The chopped "onions" were put in and quickly stirred, frying the "onions" until soft, bringing out its unique rich aroma.
