Xu Lulu's grapes arrived quickly.
Gu Xi looked through the grapes.
As Xu Lulu said, the grapes were a bit shriveled, but the vines were very fresh.
This situation is likely caused by a lack of water in the fruit plants.
Gu Xi washed the grapes and then threw them into the cold water with a splash, waiting for someone to retrieve them.
She then waited for Lorraine's reply.
A short while later, Lorraine's reply arrived.
Lorraine: I don't have watermelons or grapes, but I have lychees, freshly caught.
Gu Xi felt like a lucky person at that moment, because all three of her friends had collected the three kinds of fruit she wished for.
Gu Xi: Would you like some chilled fruit? I can chill some lychees for you, but you have to give me half.
This time, the other party proved he really wanted to eat them by bringing them directly to him.
Lorraine sent quite a lot of lychees, a full five pounds. Gu Xi washed them briefly and then poured them directly into cold water.
Now all three kinds of fruit are ready, and she can enjoy the delicious fruit as soon as the time comes.
While the fruit was chilling, Gu Xi checked the water dispenser.
The bottle was supposed to be filled with a quarter of water, but now it's only filled with a thin layer.
Although she had some doubts before, she felt a sense of relief after the test results came out.
After icing the fruit, Gu Xi, the boatman, wandered over to the shaded area under the planting boxes.
The temperature has now reached 45℃, which is a bit higher than yesterday.
At the current rate of temperature increase, it may reach 46℃ between 2 pm and 5 pm.
Gu Xi was worried that her plants wouldn't be able to withstand it.
She carefully examined the plants and found that the shade structure had reduced water consumption.
What she feared didn't happen for the time being, but to her surprise, something else did happen.
The pheasants and sea ducks huddled together listlessly.
If it were just wild ducks, that would be fine, since they often seem to be spacing out, and their state is not much different from being listless.
But the pheasant, which is usually full of energy, looked listless, which was very unusual.
Gu Xi approached the chicken and duck area and found that they had a debuff.
Upon inspection, she discovered it was actually a heatstroke debuff.
Because she has no affiliation with the pheasants or sea ducks, she cannot view their details.
So now, all she can do is try to cool down the chickens and ducks.
Gu Xi took out the water containers used by the chickens and ducks and added some heat-relieving medicine to them.
The dosage was small, only about a third of a bottle; she wanted to see if this heat-relieving medicine would work on the chickens and ducks.
She handed the container mixed with the medicine to the sea duck, who sniffed it blankly for a moment, then started spitting it out.
Gradually, the debuff on the sea duck's head disappeared.
Seeing that the heatstroke medicine was working, Gu Xi felt relieved and then fed the pheasant water.
Only after resolving the heatstroke problem in the chickens and ducks could Gu Xi go back and enjoy chilled fruit.
Although the watermelon was the first thing to be chilled, it was too big, and Gu Xi felt it should take longer to chill.
So she took out a few grapes and lychees to try first.
The grapes, soaked in cold water, regained their round, lovely, and crystal-clear appearance.
The skin of each grape exudes a faint, cool mist.
Before she even put them in her mouth, she could feel the coolness of the grapes. Because they were soaked in cold water, the grapes didn't freeze or harden; their firmness was just right.
Gu Xi picked up a fruit, put it in her mouth, and gently pressed it with her teeth. The peel cracked open, and a stream of cool, sweet juice gushed out, giving her a refreshing and pleasant sensation that made her feel comfortable all over.
