Chapter 572: Patch of Xanthium
The fruit salad in the store has been very popular recently.
Sheng Jiu thought that since he was already here and had seen everything, he might as well pick them.
Therefore, the three people were not in a hurry to find Xanthium sibiricum. Since they couldn’t find any for the time being, they decided to just pick the fruits directly.
The early apricots are not big, not as rosy and attractive as the rouge apricots, but are light yellow with a hint of green. They are sweet when you bite them, with only a slight sour taste when chewing.
It does not feel sour, but rather the sourness just neutralizes the rich sweetness, making the apricot meat even more delicious.
"This is delicious!" Sheng Jiu couldn't help but praise it after tasting it.
Shang Wuji's perception of fruits is average.
Whose dragon likes to eat vegetables and fruits?
He loves meat!
However, seeing that Sheng Jiu was very satisfied with the food, he thought about it and picked one and put it in his mouth.
Not to mention, it tastes pretty good.
Shang Wuji was glad that he was eating in human form.
If it's in the shape of a dragon, then this apricot...
It may not even feel it.
This apricot is indeed not big.
But, it tastes good, and since I’ve seen it, there’s no reason to miss it, right?
Sheng Jiu has confirmed with the system that this is an ownerless item in the wild and anyone can pick it.
However, the monks obviously had no interest in these things, as this place was remote and far away from residential areas.
Therefore, ordinary people would not come here to pick them.
So what are you waiting for?
Just buy it all!
After picking apricots, they came across peaches.
The peaches are hairy and not easy to eat directly.
However, Sheng Jiu was well prepared.
He just took out some water, washed it, cut it with a knife, and shared a taste among the three of them.
The taste is also good.
So, pick it!
There were only two apricot trees before, so the amount that could be picked was limited.
However, there were twelve peach trees!
Pick them all, pick them all!
It would be a waste if you don't pick them when they are ripe.
There are more than ten peach trees, so the task is not small.
However, among the three people, two have very fast hands, and Sheng Jiu also has good physical fitness, so the efficiency of the three is also acceptable.
It wasn't even noon yet when we finished picking the peaches.
You can continue!
The three continued walking.
I didn't see half of the Xanthium sibiricum plant, but I did find some raspberries.
So, picked it.
It's a fruit I don't recognize at all, but it looks like a swollen nightshade. However, it tastes very good, with thin skin and tender flesh, and it's juicy when you bite it.
Moreover, it is pure sweet and low in glycemic index!
This fruit is delicious, but it is really troublesome to pick.
Although Sheng Jiu reminded us at the beginning that the skin of this fruit is thin.
However, Shang Wuji did not have much idea about his own strength.
So, he thought he had control over his power.
As a result, it burst with juice as soon as it was put into hand.
Shang Wuji:?
ah.
So crispy and tender?
He is already very light, and he even feels like he has no strength at all?
Shang Wuji scratched his head and quickly adjusted his strength.
As a result, it bursts with juice and juice again.
It exploded!
Shang Wuji got angry for a moment, then looked at the other two people guiltily.
The other two people who were picking fruits efficiently didn't even bother to look at him.
Shang Wuji quickly withdrew his gaze and tried to use magic.
You know what, this trick works.
Although he is extremely strong, he is not easy to control.
However, the magic is still superb!
Moreover, spell picking is more efficient.
Didn’t you see that Lin Duo had already used it secretly?
Although this fruit is not easy to pick, it will burst with juice if you are not careful.
However, the efficiency of three people is still acceptable.
Of course, the main reason is that there are not many of them, only two in total, and the yield is average.
After picking them, the three continued.
This time there is more blank time in between.
Sheng Jiu encountered a lot of wild vegetables, but the system reminded him that the taste was average.
The reason why wild vegetables have not become normal vegetables and entered into the regular daily diet is due to various problems.
It may be too cold, too astringent, or too oxalic...
In short, it’s nice to try it occasionally to change your taste.
However, the system does not recommend eating it every day.
Sheng Jiu thought that he should still listen to the system's advice.
So, no more digging.
After walking a little further, Lin Duo couldn't help but doubt: "Are you sure you smelled it right?"
He wondered if Shang Wuji had smelled it wrong, or if he had eaten too much of a mixed meal and his sense of smell was not as sharp now?
How long have they been gone?
I didn’t see a single Xanthium sibiricum!
Shang Wuji was not angry at being suspected, he just rolled his eyes and said, "Then go ahead if you can do it."
Lin Duo thought to himself, if I had your level of cultivation, I would have done it this morning.
This is not possible!
Lin Duo was speechless and could only follow silently.
The three of them walked for a while, about two kilometers, and finally found the Xanthium sibiricum.
And there are so many cockleburs that you can’t see the end at a glance!
Most of them are already ripe!
Of course, some of them are still unripe, and you can pick them later when you have time.
After the system locates it, it will be easier to find it when you come back.
Sheng Jiu looked at the endless field of cockleburs and gave Shang Wuji a thumbs up: "You are awesome!"
Shang Wuji straightened his back slightly with a reserved look, and a low laugh of pleasure came from deep in his throat.
Oh no, it doesn't sound like a laugh anymore, more like a roar.
After hearing this, Sheng Jiu felt his mind become clear for a moment.
I was woken up by being yelled at.
Lin Duo was stunned by the yelling. When he came to his senses, he looked at Shang Wuji with a strange expression.
Shang Wuji:?
When you are happy, why don’t you let others laugh?
Don't go too far!
Longlong brought you here!
Shang Wuji didn't want to argue with Lin Duo, so he quickly helped Sheng Jiu pick Xanthium sibiricum.
In fact, sometimes, they don’t really need to take the initiative.
Because the ripe Xanthium sibiricum will come to your door on its own.
However, they still need to collect these Xanthium sibiricums, put them into bottles, and then have them taken away by the system, waiting for subsequent operations.
While Sheng Jiu and his friends were happily picking Xanthium sibiricum powder here, Sheng Siyu was called to the general manager's office.
The general manager's surname is Xue. She is a woman who is not yet forty, neat and tidy, and has a very kind expression, but she is also very sharp in her dealings.
She specifically asked the front office manager to call Sheng Siyu over.
To be honest, apart from the weekly meetings, Sheng Siyu rarely sees the general manager.
It was still a surprise to see people at this time.
Afraid that her manners might not be appropriate and she would be used as an example at the staff meeting, Sheng Siyu put in her best effort.
Manager Xue was naturally satisfied with Sheng Siyu's demeanor.
Being able to enter the front hall and become a front desk receptionist, the first thing people look at is the face, and the second thing they look at is the height and body shape.
Although Sheng Siyu didn't work for a long time, he resigned for a period of time due to family matters.
However, Manager Xue still had some impression of her.
I work very seriously.
Sheng Siyu:?
ah?
Me?
Manager Xue first asked about work matters, as if it were a routine spot check.
Sheng Siyu responded calmly and without any panic.
Soon, Manager Xue stopped wasting time and got straight to the point: "I heard from your manager that the fruit at your sister's place is pretty good?"
