I awakened the cultivation panel.

Chapter 20 Mango and Cat
The mangoes grown by Chen Jingle are of the same high-quality variety as other fruits such as lychees, longans, and jackfruits.

"If I remember correctly, this should be the Golden Mango."

Chen Jingle weighed the fruit in his hand; it was quite large.

Golden Emperor mango is currently a popular and widely cultivated variety on the market. It is characterized by its small seed, abundant flesh (approximately 90% edible), rich aroma, excellent taste, and low fiber content.

Under normal circumstances, a single fruit can weigh more than half a pound, and there are quite a few that weigh a pound each.

Some of the fruits are enormous, bigger than half a face.

This is its advantage compared to other mango types, such as the Guifei mango and the Kate mango.

Compared to lychees and longans, the fruit yield of Chen Jingle's two Golden Emperor mango trees is not only higher, but also definitely more plentiful.

There are at least several dozen trees in total, including both.

Each one weighs at least half a kilogram and is bigger than the palm of your hand; about half of them weigh more than a kilogram.

Two of them were particularly large, estimated to weigh about 1.5 kilograms.

Of course, bigger isn't always better when it comes to fruit.

If the pieces are too large, they cannot maintain their original quality and are prone to rotting in the middle.

Fruit weighing between half a pound and one and a half pounds is ideal.

If it's just Chen Jingle eating them, so many mangoes will last a long time, at least he won't have to go to the supermarket to buy them.

He really likes eating mangoes, especially the fully ripe and sweet kind, but his throat gets a little itchy after eating them.

It's probably an allergic reaction.

Fortunately, the negative effects were not serious and disappeared after a while.

If you know you'll be allergic to something but still eat it, it means you're really craving it.

However, Chen Jingle is not the only one who is so greedy. Almost everyone is allergic to mangoes, but the degree varies. Some people seem to be unaffected, while others are swollen up like a big pig's head.

Because mangoes belong to the Anacardiaceae family, they contain irritating substances throughout.

In the past, Chen Jingle wouldn't have dared to eat so many; he would have eaten at most one a day.

Elders often say that mangoes are damp and hot in nature and should not be eaten in large quantities, as most people in the Lingnan region have a damp and hot constitution.

But now, it doesn't matter anymore; no matter how humid and hot it is, it won't affect him.

In this situation, how could one not indulge one's appetite to the fullest?

We're going to eat our fill!
As for unripe mangoes that are cut into pieces and sprinkled with chili salt, it's okay to taste them occasionally to stimulate saliva production, but eating too many will make your teeth ache from the sourness.

……

A 10-liter bucket of diluted moonlight dew was poured on, and mangoes began to ripen that very day.

Chen Jingle happily picked the first ripe one.

"This one must weigh more than a pound."

The mango, which was already quite large, grew even larger after absorbing the effects of the diluted moon dew.

He chose to cut it in half directly. The pit in the middle is a very thin piece. It is no wonder that it has a usable rate of nearly 90%, and there is hardly any fiber!
The rich aroma of fruit fills the air, and the golden flesh is plump and tempting.

For Chen Jingle, this is the second most delicious summer treat after watermelon.

He decided to eat it with a spoon.

"Hiss, this fruit, which has been watered with moon dew, tastes so good."

One bite, and it feels just like the lychee I had before. The texture of the fruit is significantly improved, and it also has a slightly cool sensation.

It tastes much better than the Golden Mangoes you buy outside.

To compare the two, he went to the supermarket yesterday and bought two freshly harvested ones. Although they were not bad, they were incomparable to the ones he grew himself.

The quality difference is obvious!

"If this continues, I'm afraid my palate will become too picky, and I won't be able to eat the vegetables and fruits sold outside anymore."

Chen Jingle sighed.

what is it now?
Why not order a variety of other fruits to ensure a year-round supply of fruit?

After careful consideration, Chen Jingle did not completely reject this idea, but it needed to be carefully planned.

“The surrounding land is limited, and the current planting layout is already very dense, making it difficult to plant more. Even if we were to plant something else, we could only grow some vines or balcony fruits at most.” For example, grapes or blueberries.

These fruits occupy a limited area but yield a considerable amount of fruit, making them very popular with the general public.

Chen Jingle prioritized including it in his consideration.

He picked the remaining mangoes, those that were nearly ripe, and carefully preserved them to prevent them from being stolen and eaten by others, birds, bats, or other animals.

That would break my heart.

If you get tired of this, you can buy some coconut milk and sago to make mango pomelo sago.

This batch of mangoes is enough to last him through the entire month of May, and with the lychees, he won't even have to worry about fruit during June.

By July, it will be time to eat longan.

Everything is going according to Chen Jingle's plan!
……

night.

Chen Jingle continued collecting Moon Dew.

Today is the ninth day of the lunar month.

As we approach the middle of the month, the moon is noticeably larger than at the beginning and end of the month, and half of it has already appeared.

The phases of the moon change very quickly. Just yesterday, the moon was still a crescent, but today it's a full moon.

The other half is hidden in the darkness.

When the weather is clear, Chen Jingle can collect moonlight much faster than before.

"I feel like tonight's gains are more than just a drop."

Thinking of this, Chen Jingle's spirits lifted.

If you can collect a few more drops, that would be even better.

Not to mention that there is almost a week each month when the moon is not visible, and it is already May. Even though the first half of this year was very dry, the Jiangbei region and even the entire Lingnan region will soon enter the rainy season.

Even if it's a full moon on the 15th, there's no guarantee the moon will appear, so of course we should take advantage of this opportunity to collect as much as possible.

Just as he expected, he successfully collected two drops of moon dew tonight.

It just took a bit longer, almost five hours, from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m.

But it's all worth it.

Chen Jingle plans to dilute two drops of Moon Dew to a ratio suitable for his own consumption, in order to further enhance his physical attributes.

We can't use it to water the fruit trees every time.

Although the fruit is delicious, its own strength should not be ignored.

Especially now, while the Moon Dew still has an effect on me, otherwise, once my strength increases, the Moon Dew will become dispensable.

He chose to use half of the diluted moon dew first and store the other half for future use.

"From now on, I will try to use half of the moon dew I collect and keep the other half. After all, I am not yet at the point where I can freely use moon dew."

This stuff is a strategic reserve material; we should develop the habit of stockpiling it.

Just like last time, this time the Moon Dew will give Chen Jingle one more attribute point.

This time, the increase is in strength, from the original 10 to 11.

Although it's not much, exchanging one drop for a little is still quite good.

……

The next day.

Chen Jingle slept until the sun was high in the sky.

Although with his current physical condition, he could go seven days and seven nights without sleep without any problem, he still tries to follow his original biological clock and sleep for seven or eight hours every day.

As usual, I get up, have a quick bite to eat, then grab my hoe and wander around the orchard, intending to do some casual work and gain some experience.

Just then, he suddenly heard the sound of a kitten meowing.

Chen Jingle curiously peered over and listened intently.

You heard right, there are kittens nearby.

"Where did this kitten come from? Where is it?"
