Chapter 91 Pasture Seeds
Chapter 91 Pasture Seeds
Xia Wen lay back in her seat, rubbing her stomach as she looked regretfully at the food in front of her. "It's so delicious, but unfortunately I can't eat anymore."
"It's okay, there are still many days to go, you can eat whenever you want."
As Xia Shiyu spoke, he handed her a glass of fruit honey water. Xia Wen had been busy eating and drinking soup and hadn't had a chance to taste the water yet.
Xia Wen glanced at it and thought it was honey water, so she naturally took it and drank a sip.
As a result, she sat up straight immediately after taking a sip, staring in shock at the glass of water in front of her. "Wow, how come even ordinary honey water tastes so good? Xiaoyu, I'm starting to suspect that you've been secretly cultivating behind my back. Are you some kind of Wood Spirit Root master now?"
Xia Shiyu shook his head, somewhat amused, "My cultivation isn't that deep yet. I haven't even drawn Qi into my body, so I probably don't have any spiritual roots."
He then began to explain to her, "This is a little bit of fruit honey that the seed company gave me. It's a special food, tastes even better than regular honey, and has beauty and skin-nourishing effects. It's very precious, and I only have this much."
"Wow, it's so precious! No wonder it tastes so good. Even you can't mass-produce it."
After saying that, Xia Wen took another precious sip; she couldn't gulp down such a precious fruit honey anymore.
Xia Shiyu watched Xia Wen's actions and thought that perhaps there would be another chance to taste it in the future. Maybe she could bring out something else to exchange for the fruit honey with the giant. Exchanging some every year shouldn't be difficult.
After Xia Wen finished eating, Xia Shiyu took her back to her room to put her things away.
Fortunately, the countryside is spacious with many rooms, so you can easily tidy up any room and let someone stay there.
"Sis, this is your room. Everything is set up for you. Just let me know if you need anything."
"Okay, I understand, Xiaoyu. I'll let you know if I need anything, don't worry."
"That's good." Xia Shiyu nodded and left the room first, letting Xia Wen rest and take a nap. She would take her out to play slowly after she woke up.
After making her decision, Xia Shiyu returned to her room to try and find some pasture seeds.
In a flash of thought, she entered a fairy tale world. As soon as she opened her eyes, she asked the system, "System, when can I get the pasture seeds?"
The system replied, "[The host does not have permission at this time.]"
Xia Shiyu said with some regret, "How could I not have the permission? Pasture should be easy to find. At least those who raise livestock or have animals might have some."
Actually, she had her own ideas when she first entered the Giant Farm. After all, if a farm raises animals, it must also have hay.
Unfortunately, although she saw the giant raising small animals and feeding them hay, there was no hay around the farm. Later, she mustered up the courage to ask the giant and learned that the hay was not grown by him, but obtained from a friend.
Hearing this, Xia Shiyu could only put aside the idea. After all, she realized that each crop in the fairy tale world was basically assigned by default, and there was very little overlap. Even if there was overlap, the function and type were the same. So if she wanted to find pasture, she should find the corresponding grower.
[The host needs to persevere, or can obtain it through a special mission.]
Xia Shiyu looked up in surprise, never expecting that things would turn out so well.
"Can I participate directly in special missions?"
[Yes, but special missions are more difficult than daily missions, and there will be a penalty for failure if the host cannot complete them.]
Xia Shiyu's expression changed, but she still hesitated before asking, "What is the punishment for failure?"
[The system will confiscate any plant seeds currently held by the host, and half of the profits from those vegetables will be returned to the system.]
Xia Shiyu was astonished. If the mission failed, not only would one of the plants in his possession disappear, but he would also have to give up half of his money.
The high cost made Xia Shiyu hesitate. She thought about it carefully and realized that the taste of the chicken and duck had indeed improved a lot. There was no need to rush to take the risk. She should wait for it to develop slowly in the future.
The system's words immediately calmed Xia Shiyu's impulsive mind. Indeed, he still needed to consider things carefully.
Never mind, let's wait and see if there's any opportunity later, or maybe the clues will come naturally after we complete the second map.
Xia Shiyu regretfully withdrew from the fairy tale world again. At present, she does not want to collect any more plant seeds, as she does not need so many for the time being.
After Xia Wen had rested in the afternoon, Xia Shiyu took her out for a drive.
She even brought out her tricycle, since walking up the mountain would be quite tiring.
As the two women sat in the car, two small dogs came running out and jumped into the back of the truck, wanting to go with them.
"Wang Wang"
Xia Wen was startled at first, but then she was tempted by the two puppies.
"I can touch them, they look so cute."
"Yes, they won't bite. Sister Wen, you can take this bunch of vegetables and feed them to the two of them, and they'll be even happier."
Xia Shiyu handed a bunch of small green vegetables to Xia Wen, who took them and tentatively handed them back.
The two puppies' eyes lit up immediately. "Woof woof woof!" Soybean barked first, its two black pearl-like eyes fixed on the little cabbage in front of it, and its mouth seemed to be secreting saliva.
Nuomi, standing next to Xia Wen, was a little more reserved, but she kept following Xia Wen's hand and gaze, her black nose sniffing everywhere.
Seeing the two puppies' greedy looks, Xia Wen stuffed more food in front of them, saying, "Here, eat up. But remember me, don't bite me."
After saying that, he threw the bok choy in front of the two dogs.
The two birds stretched their heads to reach for the small green vegetables in front of them, making gurgling noises in their throats, looking very satisfied.
Xia Wen was delighted. "These two dogs are such gluttons. But since it's the vegetables you grew, Xiao Yu, I'm probably just as good as them."
Xia Shiyu shook her head. "These two are usually greedy, especially when they see vegetables grown in the field. They always want to take a bite, but I always stop them."
"Oh, those two little gluttons, they should be stopped. By the way, what are their names?"
"The white one is called glutinous rice, and the yellow one is called soybean. We brought them back from someone else's house."
"Oh, this name is easy to remember and has a nice style. It's all related to food, so it's perfect for guarding the house."
After Xia Wen finished feeding the two puppies, when she went to pet their heads, the two dogs simply sniffed the scent of her hand and then quietly let her pet them.
Huangdou even licked her hand.
