Chapter 613 Cocoa Trees Everywhere
“Look, this is a cocoa tree.
These oval or egg-shaped drupes hanging between the branches and leaves are the fruits of the cocoa tree.
The seeds inside are cocoa beans.”
As she spoke, she ran to the kitchen and grabbed a handful of unprocessed cocoa beans to show the audience.
He also talked in detail about the characteristics of cocoa beans, as well as the advantages, uses and consumption methods of the cocoa butter and cocoa powder obtained after processing.
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, a barrage of exclamation marks appeared on the virtual screen floating above the dining table.
"It's amazing, right?" Seeing the exclamation marks, Jian Yan asked with a smile, thinking that everyone thought this plant was amazing.
The barrage of comments froze for a moment, and then a bright and colorful special effects barrage of comments appeared.
[No, no, no! Chef Jian, you're focusing on the wrong thing. We're not using exclamation points to praise the wonders of cocoa beans, but because they're everywhere!]

As pictures appeared one after another, Jian Yan was shocked when he saw the cocoa tree that almost occupied the entire screen of the live broadcast room.
Her cat-like eyes widened as she exclaimed, "So many cocoa trees!"
[Yes, it is everywhere here. It grows very easily and new seedlings appear every year.
If you leave it alone, it will grow into a big fruit-bearing tree in one or two years.
Cocoa trees are not picky about where they grow, and their requirements for the environment are not high. They can be found wherever there is soil.
Looking at this melancholy comment, Jian Yan recalled the expressions of Tang Zhen and the others when they learned that chestnuts were food in the forest on Planet G57.
I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart.
"How do you deal with the cocoa trees on your planet?"
There was another brief blank in the live broadcast room, and Jian Yan's bad premonition became stronger and stronger.
Sure enough, the barrage of comments that flooded the screen confirmed her hunch.
Municipal staff regularly clean up the area, and all felled cocoa trees and fruits are sent to a waste disposal center for centralized destruction and decomposition.
[Yes, every year the government has to spend a large sum of money to clean up the overgrown cocoa trees.]

The comments continued, but Jian Yan had no intention of reading them one by one. Her mind was now filled with the destroyed cocoa trees. She really couldn't pay attention to the comments and asked the key point directly, "Which planet are you on?"
【Portland Luo! 】
There are too many planets under the jurisdiction of the empire, and Jian Yan couldn't remember them all, so she turned on her light brain to check the situation of Portland Luo.
Xie Yan was a know-it-all, and he was familiar with the situations of all the planets in the empire. Seeing this, he kindly introduced the situation of Portland Luo to Jian Yan.
It was also through his introduction that Jian Yan learned that Portland Luo was a third-class agricultural planet whose main source of income was sweet potato cultivation.
The sweet potatoes produced in Portland are very famous throughout the Xuanyun Galaxy. They are loved by the public for their sweet taste and rich juice.
The amount of sweet potatoes exported each year reaches hundreds of billions of tons.
Because of the sweet potato industry, Portland's economic conditions are very good.
It ranks among the top ten agricultural planets in the empire. It is also a self-sufficient planet that can provide regular benefits to its residents.
Every household in Portland Row is a farmer, and their farms are measured in thousands of acres.
The rank of each planet under the empire is based on the planet's total GDP and welfare.
