Chapter 323 Fruit Tree Cultivation Area
The planet is so vast, and fruit trees and seeds are extremely rare. Except for the specially established cultivation areas, most places on the planet E233 still maintain their original ecological appearance and will be developed in the future.
Aubrey planned to invite Si Ming and Ye Jiaojiao to visit the cultivation area established by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Ye Jiaojiao naturally wanted to go and take a look. The two hit it off and took a flying vehicle and arrived at the fruit tree cultivation area in a short while.
The cultivation area is an environment most suitable for the survival of fruits and vegetables, replicated by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences based on the most rigorous data. From air humidity to soil issues, all aspects are taken into account, and it is not outdoors but indoors.
It was like a scientific research compound, surrounded by fences. After Ye Jiaojiao and Si Ming entered the cultivation area, they saw that the staff inside were all wearing white coats and protective masks on their faces, as if they were doing some research.
This scene was completely different from the orchard that Ye Jiaojiao had in mind. For a moment, she couldn't even believe that these people were planting fruit trees.
On the side, Si Ming noticed that his little wife had a somewhat sad expression. After a little thought, he realized that there must be a difference in his little wife's cognition. She was a little uncomfortable with the empire's emphasis on fruits and vegetables.
Aubrey was introducing the situation of the breeding area to them. Si Ming was not in a position to explain everything to Ye Jiaojiao, so he could only hold her hand and give her a faint soothing smile.
Embraced by the broad hands, Ye Jiaojiao subconsciously raised her head and met Si Ming's gaze, which was gentle, affectionate, and full of light.
Grinning at Si Ming, Ye Jiaojiao slowly became focused.
Aubrey led Si Ming to an area with the most staff. Pointing to the staff from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences who were picking and moving fruit trees, he explained to Si Ming, "Major General Si, these are mature fruit trees. We'll probably need a few days to move them out."
The ownership of the planet E233 changed too quickly. Although the procedures were already underway, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences still needed some time to finalize the matter. Aubrey didn't expect Si Ming to arrive so soon, so he had to give an explanation.
Fortunately, this is the only area that has not been processed.
The people at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences will be able to evacuate within five days.
Si Ming came suddenly but was not in a hurry to do anything on this planting planet. He mainly wanted Ye Jiaojiao to come and see if she was satisfied. He understood Aubrey's explanation, so he told the other party that he was just stopping by to take a look and there was no rush.
Aubrey heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Si Ming say that. Just then, the busy staff dispersed, and Ye Jiaojiao saw a group of small fruit trees that were blocked by the staff. "Are these orange trees?"
"Yes." Aubrey looked at Ye Jiaojiao in surprise.
Ye Jiaojiao and Si Ming behaved intimately, and Aubrey noticed it even with just a glance. He just thought that this was Major General Si's secret lover, but he didn't expect that Ye Jiaojiao recognized the orange tree at a glance.
In fact, Ye Jiaojiao did recognize him, but she was very hesitant.
Generally speaking, orange trees are evergreen all year round, about 3 meters high, with dense branches and leaves, neat tree posture, full of fragrant flowers in spring, and yellow fruits in autumn and winter. The yellow and green colors are very beautiful. But these orange trees in front of us are
No one knew what went wrong. The orange tree cultivated by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences was less than one meter tall and was planted in a porcelain pot. It was said to be ripe, but when Ye Jiaojiao looked at it, the oranges hanging on it were earthy yellow, wilted, wrinkled and shriveled, and did not look delicious.
Thinking about the treatment of these orange trees, Ye Jiaojiao wisely did not ask Aubrey if he could pick an orange for her to taste. After looking at it for a while, she suggested leaving and going to another cultivation area.
Planet E233 is empty and has almost no facilities except for the breeding area established by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. This is fine in Ye Jiaojiao's opinion, as she doesn't need those artificial buildings.
Ye Jiaojiao planned to transplant the fruit trees in the space directly to create a natural orchard and let the fruit trees grow freely. At that time, she would only need to arrange some fruit farmers to come here to take care of it regularly.
They arrived at planet E233 in the morning and spent most of the day touring the cultivation area and the undeveloped area. In the afternoon, Ye Jiaojiao and Si Ming declined the hotel arranged by Aubrey for them and went straight back to the spaceship.
The door closed, leaving only Ye Jiaojiao and Si Ming. Ye Jiaojiao took out two oranges from her mustard seed space and said, "Ming, try this. This orange of mine is the same kind as the one we saw this morning."
Compared to ordinary fruits, Ye Jiaojiao is more accustomed to eating spiritual fruits that contain spiritual energy. Before this, she used to use spiritual fruits to make fruit platters and the like, which caused her spiritual fruit stocks to deplete so quickly. Si Ming, who was almost fattened by Ye Jiaojiao, was also in the same situation.
Ye Jiaojiao made candied haws for him with red fruit, and Si Ming's taste became much more picky.
Taking the orange handed to him by Ye Jiaojiao, Si Ming peeled it and tasted a piece. It was juicy, sweet and sour. Although it could not be compared with spiritual fruits, it was still good overall.
Thinking of the shriveled little oranges he saw in the cultivation area this morning, Si Ming felt that the oranges in his hand were quite sweet. "These oranges grew in Jiaojiao's space. Will they turn out to be like those cultivated by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences when they are transplanted out?"
Si Ming would support his darling wife in whatever she wanted to do, but he was a little worried that the final result would be bad and his darling wife would be sad.
"I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be that bad, right?" Ye Jiaojiao frowned, feeling a little entangled. "The fruit trees in the mustard seed space were all transplanted by me in the past. They were warmed by the spiritual energy and their quality is very good."
"Well, let's try it first." Si Ming didn't want to dampen Ye Jiaojiao's enthusiasm, nor did he want her to be unhappy, so he omitted those negative considerations.
If the transplantation fails, he can just take the responsibility and put the blame on this planting planet, and then spend some time looking for a new planting planet to give to Jiaojiao.
After comforting his little wife, Si Ming sent her back to her room to rest, and he himself, along with a personal soldier, found Aubrey again.
"Major General Si?" Aubrey was startled when he saw Si Ming coming back. He invited him into the study and asked, "Is there anything you need?"
Aubrey wasn't sure what Si Ming was up to, so he asked directly. Si Ming didn't beat around the bush: "I've already contacted the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. I want an orange tree, the kind you showed me this morning."
Want an orange tree?
"Please wait a moment!" Although the authority of the Empire of Light was there, Aubrey still didn't dare to give the things directly. After confirming with the Agricultural Science Academy, he asked a few staff members to move an orange tree to Si Ming.
They asked their personal guards to take the orange tree with them and returned to the aircraft carrier.
Si Ming picked an orange from the tree and did what Ye Jiaojiao didn't dare to mention in the morning. He looked at the ugly oranges cultivated by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, peeled the skin, tasted a piece, and it tasted sour, even bitter.
It wasn't even one-tenth of the ordinary oranges Ye Jiaojiao gave her.
Without taking a second bite, Si Ming pushed the orange away with a sluggish face and glanced at the guards behind him: "When will the next black market open?"
