The first concubine of farming

Chapter 116
Pu Qiuli looked at Li Lai's stern look, and didn't say anything. With him giggling, he cut off all the branches that should be cut off from the lychee tree in front of him, and came to Bai Yu Beside Shi, he said: "Yu'er, it's almost noon, and the sun is a bit hot now, so you don't need to work any more. Anyway, the messy branches on the lychee trees in this lychee garden are almost finished pruning, and the remaining Leave the rest to the long-term workers to trim it.”

"Yes, master, you should also listen to what my uncle said. You don't need to follow us to do these rough jobs at this time. Anyway, we are all people who are used to doing farm work and are not afraid of the sun, but you are different, master." "

"You are our master, and you are a woman. Always basking in the sun is not good for your skin. Anyway, there is not much work in the lychee garden. We can finish pruning here for half an hour, so Leave the rest to us to do the rest, master, you don’t have to work so hard here, otherwise it will make us feel uneasy about taking your wages.” This is what the long-term workers heard Pu Qiuli’s dialogue What Yanshi said, he opened his mouth and said what he said to Bai Yishi.

Originally, Bai Yanshi wanted to refute what Pu Qiuli said, because she didn't want to go back and wanted to help here, but before she could say it, she heard what the long-term workers said, thought for a while, and said: "Well, since everyone has said so, then I will not insist on staying here. You all work hard. As long as you do well and take care of these fruit trees, I will not treat you badly. of"

"Yes, master, don't worry, we will take good care of all these fruit trees," the long-term workers collectively responded.

"Okay, Yan Ling, I'll leave it to you here, and you don't have to be too tired. After all, these fruit trees don't have many messy branches. Most of the trees don't need to be pruned, and they can make them bear a lot of fruit. The fruit is good, so you don't have to worry about not being able to finish the pruning work after the best season for pruning," Bai Yanshi said to Yan Ling.

"Yes, I know all of this, so please rest assured, Master, we won't get tired," Yan Ling responded to Bai Yanshi.

"Li Lai, you don't need to go back, stay here to help" Pu Qiuli suddenly said to Li Lai who was standing by.

"Yes, master." Li Lai immediately responded after hearing Pu Qiuli's words.

"Ah Li, let's go back. Yan Ling and Chen Ming must have come back from Dongcheng. I wonder if she will help me buy what I want when I go to Dongcheng this time." Bai Yanshi didn't ask Pu Why did Qiuli leave Lilai here to help, but asked him, and then went home with Pu Qiuli.

Today is the day when Fanren came to Dongcheng. Originally, Bai Yanshi wanted to go shopping in Dongcheng with Pu Qiuli, but thought that the fruit trees in the orchard would have to prune those fruitless branches, and the people here have never planted fruit trees. She didn't know how to prune the branches that should be pruned, so she thought about it, and finally decided to ask Yan Ling and Chen Ming to go to Dongcheng to buy goods for her, while she stayed and went to the orchard to teach the long-term workers how to prune fruit tree branches.

As soon as Bai Yishi and Pu Qiuli got home, they saw Chen Ming being pointed out by Yan Ling to move things into the house. When they saw their master coming back, they immediately stepped forward.

"Master, Uncle, you are back from the orchard." Yan Ling happily came to Bai Yushi and Pu Qiuli to say hello.

"Yan Ling, I saw from a distance that you asked Chen Ming to bring a lot of things into the door, did you buy a lot of good things with Fanren today?" Bai Yanshi asked.

"Yes, Master, this year's Fanren brought a lot of Fan goods to Dongcheng. Chen Ming and I saw it, so we bought a lot of Fan products for you, especially seeds." Yan Ling said happily.

"Really, where are those seeds? Quickly take me to see them." Bai Yanshi asked happily after hearing Yan Ling's words.

"Chenming just brought them all to the lobby, the master can go to the lobby to have a look," Yan Ling said.

"Really? Then let's go, Ah Li, accompany me to see the new seeds." After Bai Yanshi knew where the seeds were, she asked Pu Qiuli to go to the lobby together.

"Master, mistress, you are back from the orchard." Chen Ming was sorting out the freshly brought goods in the lobby, and when she saw Bai Yanshi and the others coming in, she called out.

"Chenming, where are the seeds you bought from the Fanren? Hua'er wants to see it, so you can take it out." Park Qiuli looked at Chenming and asked.

"Oh, those seeds, master and mistress, etc., I'll look for them." Chen Ming immediately responded after hearing Pu Qiuli's words, and then went to look through the pile of fan goods.

Finally, he found a snakeskin bag in a corner, and Chen Ming moved it out.

"Master, mistress, this is the bag containing the seeds. All the seeds we bought today are packed in this bag," Chen Ming said.

"Give it to me quickly, and I'll open it myself," Bai Yanshi said impatiently after hearing this.

Bai Yishi took the bag and opened it, and took out the seeds that were packed in each small bag.

"Wow, it turned out to be cocoa beans. Now it's all right. If I succeed in planting, wouldn't I be able to taste the taste of chocolate? I'm so happy to think about it." Bai Yanshi took out a cocoa bean seed from the seed to see said.

"Yu'er, seeing you are so happy, I know that Chenming and Yan Ling have found good things for you, but I don't know what kind of cocoa beans you are talking about?" Pu Qiuli took it from Bai Yishi's hand The bag of cocoa bean seeds took out a seed, looked at it, and asked.

"This cocoa bean, in fact, I don't know what it is, but I saw a description about it in an agricultural book, saying that this cocoa bean is a kind of thing also called cocoa bean. After becoming a cocoa tree, it will bear a kind of fruit, which is oval in shape, and its seeds are buried in the jelly pulp, usually there are as many as thirty to forty seeds.”

"This kind of seed is called cocoa beans, which is what we have in our hands now, and these cocoa beans can also be used to grind cocoa powder, and then use it to make something called chocolate to eat Or drink cocoa milk tea." Bai Yishi told Pu Qiuli the function of these cocoa beans when Pu Qiuli asked her.

In fact, Bai Yishi has never seen cocoa beans, nor has she eaten chocolate, because the cocoa tree is extinct in the 25th century, she will know about cocoa beans, and they are also some books in her study in Tianyuan Space seen in.

At that time, she read in the book how delicious it would be if cocoa beans were ground into cocoa powder to make chocolate.

Therefore, in the 25th century, after Bai Yishi knew about the existence of cocoa beans, she had been looking for cocoa trees, but she couldn't find them. I didn't have time to look for it. Bai Yanshi, who had traveled like this, was very disappointed, thinking that she would never find it again, but she didn't expect that since Chen Ming and the others would find it for her from Fanren this time. Back to her, she couldn't be happier.
