Chapter 105 Coconut Cart
Chapter 105 Coconut Cart
Xia Shiyu's newly launched radishes have quietly caused another "bloodbath," but these are not big problems. After all, she only has so many radishes, and how many can be snapped up depends on the customers' skills.
After eating the rice noodles yesterday, Xia Shiyu and her mother kept thinking that if they grew rice and wheat from the seeds in the fairy tale world, the resulting crops would be ground into flour and made into rice noodles and wheat flour, which would surely taste delicious.
However, the progress of collecting these staple crop seeds is currently difficult, so it's not feasible for the time being. But she thought of the potatoes she had planted, which could be used to make potato noodles when they matured.
When April next year begins, we can plant sweet potatoes again, and then we can make sweet potato starch.
After thinking about all this, I felt my mouth watering. I shook my head, ran inside, took a sip of fruit honey, and then thought I might as well go back into the fairy tale world. For now, I don't need to think about what seeds to plant, but I can dig out some other special things.
Just like the fruit nectar in her hand, there are many good things in the Giant Farm.
Thinking about these things, Xia Shiyu hurriedly went back to her room to log into the fairy tale world.
The moment she logged in, she was inside the giant's farm. She immediately felt the heat. Looking around, she saw that the farm was spring-like all year round, and it was indeed much warmer than outside. She was wearing thick clothes, so of course she felt the heat.
She immediately took off one of her coats and began searching for the giant.
The giant was easy to find; her enormous figure was currently bending over, picking watermelons.
Xia Shiyu watched as the giant easily lifted a watermelon the size of a cart, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
Such a big watermelon! It must have so much flesh; it would take the whole family a week to eat it.
The giant, who was holding a watermelon, also noticed her. She smiled gently at her and said, "You've come."
Xia Shiyu nodded. "Yes, is there anything I can help you with?"
The giant, holding the watermelon, thought for a moment and said to her, "The dwarf tribe bought some fruit from me. They will be coming to pick up the goods today. You will be responsible for signing for the delivery."
The dwarves were too small for him, and he could easily hurt them if he wasn't careful. So usually he would put the fruit on the ground and let them carry it themselves. Now that Xia Shiyu was here, he could leave it to her to take care of.
Xia Shiyu nodded, "Okay."
Then she climbed onto the giant's shoulder and watched as he carried the watermelon back to the house before preparing the fruit for the dwarf tribe.
Xia Shiyu took a look and found that it mainly consisted of smaller fruits such as cherries, sweet cherries, plums, and grapes.
However, "small" is only relative to other fruits. Even the smallest cherry is as big as Xia Shiyu's fist, so it really is only relative.
They actually put all the fruit in a basket, placed Xia Shiyu next to the basket, and then all she had to do was sign for it and help carry it.
The giant looked down at her and said, "Then I'll trouble you to help me out. I have something to do first."
"Okay, then go ahead."
After watching the giant walk away, Xia Shiyu looked at the fruit in the basket. In addition to the usual fruits, Xia Shiyu also noticed a rather peculiar one.
It should be a pomegranate, but this pomegranate is a bit strange. She can't tell from its appearance yet because it's the same size as the pomegranates she's seen before.
We can only wait and see how it goes.
After waiting for a while, a blue passage appeared outside the farm. Xia Shiyu knew that the people from the dwarf tribe must have arrived.
Sure enough, a line of coconut trucks suddenly emerged from the blue passage.
Each coconut is a round, over one meter tall, with four tires mounted underneath. The coconut's exterior also features windows and doors.
When the coconut cart arrived in front of Xia Shiyu, she saw dwarves emerge from it.
She looked around and found that these dwarfs were only a little over a meter tall, but they looked very young, mostly with fair and tender skin, and looked a bit like children.
After they came down, they talked to each other for a while, and then walked towards Xia Shiyu.
"Hello, we're here to sign for the fruit."
Xia Shiyu nodded and said, "The fruit is all here. I'll be in charge of providing it to you today. You can take a look."
"Okay," the dwarf nodded, and immediately some of them stepped forward to check the situation.
He even picked it up and tasted it directly.
They also picked up the pomegranate, which Xia Shiyu was most curious about.
The pomegranate was a bit big for them, after all, their hands were about the size of a child's, but he still held it steadily.
A dwarf in a blue hat picked up a pomegranate and, without using a knife, easily peeled off the skin with his bare hands, revealing the seeds inside.
Calling it a pomegranate seed is a bit inaccurate, because once this pomegranate is peeled open, it looks like a large, bright red gemstone, not like a regular pomegranate with individual seeds, but rather a whole large seed.
After the little dwarf peeled open the pomegranate to reveal the flesh inside, he immediately took out a straw, inserted it, and began to suck out the juice.
Xia Shiyu stared wide-eyed. This kind of oil was like a dream fruit! It was really troublesome to spit out the seeds when eating pomegranates. It was much more convenient to make pomegranate juice.
But right now, you can just stick a straw into this pomegranate and drink from it—how convenient and quick!
Xia Shiyu was amazed, marveling at how ingenious the giants were at developing fruits; each one touched people's hearts and made her very tempted.
Unaware of her inner thoughts, the dwarves, after tasting and evaluating the fruit's flavor and quality, happily accepted it.
They stepped forward and handed Xia Shiyu a golden, round badge, asking her to give it to the giant.
Xia Shiyu carefully accepted the fruit, then watched as the dwarves began to load it into the coconut cart. Seeing that they were struggling, she stepped forward to help.
She picked up a basket of cherries. "Let me do it. I'll put these in front of the car for you."
The dwarf thanked her profusely upon seeing her actions, saying, "Thank you so much."
"It's fine."
After Xia Shiyu finished helping them, he watched as they took the fruit and prepared to leave.
Just then, a little dwarf ran down and handed her a coconut the size of a soccer ball. "Thank you," she said, "this is a coconut we grew ourselves, and it's for you."
Xia Shiyu happily accepted it, "That's great, thank you, I really like coconut juice."
The dwarf nodded and returned to the coconut cart, and the group disappeared into the blue passage again.
