Chapter 295 Daily Life

Seeing Josh's worried look, the big-leaf ant waved its antennae: It's very safe and secure. The ant nest is right next to the big-leaf ant bean field, at a higher place, which makes it convenient to take care of the big-leaf ant beans. The soil is also what we like, and the environment is not bad.

After saying that, he urged Josh to move the queen ant out and hand it to them.

These days, they have been taking care of the queen ant like an old nanny. They come to see it when they have time all day long, when they pass by, and when they are busy. In short, they come to see it often.

The aloof queen ant is still dull these days, but according to Josh's observation, this little thing is not stupid at all, it is just pretending.

Yes, it deliberately acted weak and stupid in front of this group of serious leaf ants, so that these stubborn guys would pay more attention to it and respond to its every request.

But as soon as they left, she would knock on the freezer to get Josh to let it out, and then she would play and sleep.

The queen ant's instinct always allows it to run back to the box before the big leaf ants come to visit it.

It's not like it didn't reveal its true colors before, but unfortunately one of them acted perfunctorily while the other was full of trust.

Josh thought that even if they really saw the queen ant having fun one day, they would be able to accept the queen ant's explanation without thinking.

Josh woke up the queen ant who was sleeping soundly in the freezer and told her that the big leaf ants had come to take her home.

The big leaf ants' separate home is under construction.

Hearing this, the queen big leaf ant calmly stretched out her body, slowly shook her fat body, and struggled to crawl out of the freezer. Then, she was surrounded by the big leaf ants who had been waiting for a long time. They picked her up and, while ensuring her comfort, escorted her to the new ant nest.

It looks like it knows what's going on and isn't surprised at all. What a smart creature.

After the big leaf ant queen was taken away by the big leaf ants, Qiao Xi felt relieved. The little pink ball had been eyeing it covetously all day. Although Qiao Xi had warned it that this was the queen ant and it should not have any bad thoughts, it was hard for the little pink ball not to be attracted by its increasingly fat body.

Josh had to stand guard between the two in case there was any safety issue.

Picking up the basket, Josh prepared to hurry to the magic fruit forest to see if the bitter candies had ripened after so many days and how they tasted.

The magic fruit forest is filled with fruity fragrance, giant lemons are in bloom, and bitter candies are also in bloom. The entire fruit forest is like a secret garden that makes people addicted.

Josh picked up a small heart-shaped fruit and with a little force, the juice of the bitter candy splashed out.

Josh licked his fingers. They were sweet. It was almost there. Although not the most mature yet, it was good enough.

Qiao Xi has been thinking about it these days. The unique taste of bitter candy is not suitable for making fruit drinks, but it can be used to make unique-flavored candied fruits, dried fruits and other products.

Although it may not be a new product from another world, it is definitely unique in Chaoyang City, because she has never seen anything like it here.

The dried fruits here are all in their original state, directly dried and then sold. Not only do they taste bad because they are dry and dehydrated, but their energy properties are seriously leaking. They are just toys to fool children.

Josh tried it once and never ate it again, but it’s not often seen being sold, so there’s not much of a market for it.

I don't know what the preserved fruits made from Bitter Candy taste like, but Josh imagined that they would be sour and sweet like Lychee Plum with a hint of coolness, or as refreshing and natural as mint candy with a bit of bitterness. If it can really achieve the expected effect, it will definitely be another star product.

In just the next two or three days, you can set aside a morning and ask the macaques to help pick these ripe bitter candies.

All you have to do is shake the tree and let the ripe bitter candies fall down automatically. It's very simple.

After making up his mind, Josh was no longer so impatient. He took a leisurely walk in the magic fruit forest, picking some bitter candies from time to time. The fruit that was sweet but bitter was definitely not a qualified delicious fruit.

But it is indeed suitable for making preserved fruits.

Wait a few days and try the flavor after drying. If it doesn't work, then use technology and hard work to add some ingredients (not) some seasonings, just like the sour jujube cake made with sour jujube that she had heard of before. Adding chili and perilla may look a bit strange, but the taste is so addictive.

Well, she decided that if the taste is not good later, she will go the 100% pure additive route (crooked mouth)

I picked and chose and filled a basket of fruits and took them home to have as after-meal fruit.

After dinner, Qiao Xi ate one bite at a time. They were sweet and juicy. Ignoring the bitter taste, they were quite refreshing.

As he was eating, Josh remembered the canned cherries he had eaten before. After being soaked in sugar water, the cherries' sour taste would be diluted. He wondered if bitter candy would have the same effect after being canned.

Write it down, write it down. Qiao Xi can take out a notebook from his body anytime and anywhere to write down what he thinks of at any time.

There was a sound of animal hooves, Josh pushed open the window, and Oswin came back. She waved at him from the windowsill.

Oswin raised the corner of his mouth and smiled back at Josh.

Then he signaled to Josh tiredly that he was going to go into the house to rest. Josh nodded at him and said go quickly.

After seeing him enter the small room, Qiao Xi wondered if he was treating him too much like a beast. He worked from six or seven in the morning to eight or nine at night. No, no, he must not overwork such a useful employee.

Recruiting! Recruiting!

Qiao Xi clicked on Mr. Blair, whom she hadn't contacted for a long time. The last message was from Mr. Blair, who expressed his gratitude after she had sent him a copy of the persimmon cakes by a carrier pigeon.

Apart from this, the two had no other topics to talk about.

He didn't know if it would work, but Josh decided to give it a try.

So she edited the message and sent it back to Mr. Blair. Not knowing whether she would receive a reply tonight, Josh did not wait and closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Josh got up early and inspected the farmland. There was no major problem. He looked at the ladybugs and dung beetles and found that they were in good condition. Josh hurriedly left the farm and headed for the Weiguang Commercial District.

When it comes to the critical period of store decoration, Qiao Xi has to check it from time to time. Some decorations cannot be too outrageous. If the store owners are allowed to do whatever they want, it will destroy the overall style of the Weiguang Commercial District.

The road surface is undergoing final leveling. After the renovation is completed and the renovation waste piled up on the roadside is cleaned up, the environment will become much cleaner.

Josh, who is in the commercial district, also contacted Mr. Luman. Although he didn't know where to go on another adventure, he asked Josh to add an assistant's contact number, and the assistant would make arrangements for Josh.

Garden design should be left to professionals. Qiao Xi only cared about the appearance, and the flowers he selected were not quite coordinated. After the assistant sister adjusted them, it became much better.

It will be ready for planting soon, and Josh is looking forward to it.

I feel that farming novels always become boring in the later stages because my writing and brainpower are too limited. But if I keep writing in a fluffy way I'll feel aesthetic fatigue and my head will hurt.
