20 Iceberg Snowfield-Day 5
◎Return with a full load◎
“It really is a durian tree! I actually saw a living durian tree!”
Yan Lan was so excited that she almost jumped up. Durian is one of her favorite fruits.
People have two extreme opinions on durian: those who love it praise its fragrance, while those who hate it complain about its stench. And she is the top fan among the fans.
"Do you like durian?" Yan Lan looked at Ji Zhou expectantly.
Her eyes were conflicted, she wanted him to say he liked her, but she also wanted him to say he didn't like her.
Ji Zhou couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he just said honestly, "I think I like it very much."
Yan Lan felt a little pained: "Is that so!"
Ji Zhou added, "But you can give me more. I like it occasionally, but I get tired of it if I eat too much."
"Really? That's simply—" Yan Lan suddenly looked up, her eyes sparkling, but her tone was full of regret. "What a pity."
After discussing the distribution of supplies, Yan Lan practically ran to the durian tree. Snowball, who always loved eating them, now flew away, pinching his nose.
This is an old tree with a lot of fruits on it, which are crowded and hanging on the branches, like golden lanterns.
The durian was ripe and its strong aroma was wafting around. She took a deep breath and felt her internal organs were unblocked.
Ji Zhou came over slowly, and couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her like that.
Yan Lan turned to look at him, and Ji Zhou quickly averted his gaze from her face: "It's getting late, let's pick it quickly."
Yan Lan nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Okay."
The two men first picked the durians from the low places and piled them in an open space.
I have to say, this durian looks amazing. Its fruit is oval in shape, round and plump in appearance, like an enlarged version of a lychee. Each one has at least 5 cells of flesh, and the weight of each one is conservatively estimated to be over 7 kilograms.
The durians growing low were quickly picked. The two stood together, looked at each other, and then looked up at the tree.
Ji Zhou asked, "How about I go up and pick them?"
Yan Lan immediately rejected it: "No, I'm afraid if I can't catch it, it will break."
She has watched many videos, and the ones that test the skills of those who catch durians are the most challenging. If they are not careful, these ripe durians will be smashed to pieces.
Ji Zhou looked Yan Lan up and down and said, "So you go? But this tree is quite tall."
Yan Lan tilted her head and thought, she was not good at climbing trees.
While she was hesitating, she suddenly had an idea and pointed at the elf that pinched its nose: "I know, let it go."
Ji Zhou clapped his hands: "Yes, it can fly."
Snowball's fur stood on end, and he looked at the two of them in horror: "..."
Can you be a human being and let an elf who hates the smell pick durian!
But it didn't give it a chance to choose. Yan Lan quickly took a knife, put it on the branch, and pushed its butt.
Snowball felt wronged and had to pout and accept his fate.
It cut each one of them like cutting a watermelon, with ruthless movements, and the two people below were enjoying themselves very much.
Snowball looked down at the two people who were joking from time to time, and for the first time he felt a little redundant.
It turned its grief and anger into strength, moved swiftly, and soon picked the last durian.
Yan Lan looked at the durian piled up like a small mountain in front of her, and couldn't help but smile. She clasped her hands together and said, "Then let's start dividing the spoils."
Then they divided it up one by one, and after dividing dozens, Ji Zhou stopped her: "I have enough, the rest are given to you."
Yan Lan smiled, her eyes narrowed into slits. She quickly put all the durians into her backpack and said, "Really? I'm quite embarrassed."
Snowball glanced at her and said, "I think you're quite nice."
This is an old tree with 80 durian fruits. After deducting the 30 she gave to the man, she still had 50 left.
A full 50 of them, enough for her to eat for a long, long time!
Picking durian takes a lot of time, and it’s almost 5 o’clock.
Yan Lan looked left and right, preparing to pick up some wood in the last bit of time.
"Oh, by the way, can I add you as my friend?"
Yan Lan froze in shock, not knowing how to respond.
"What? You are allowed to tease me, but I am not allowed to add you as my friend?" Yan Lan felt a little embarrassed when the other party's teasing voice sounded. The thing she had deliberately forgotten before was brought up again.
"Haha, how could I be so stingy? Add it quickly while the world channel is open."
When the time came, the two were teleported back to the highway out of thin air.
Yan Lan looked at the new avatar on the friend list and muttered to herself, "Ji Zhou, that's a nice name!"
After a hard day's work, she sat on the sofa and took out a big durian. When Snowball saw the golden object, he pinched his nose and jumped away.
She then went to wash her hands, took out a plate and put it on the dining table.
People who like to eat durian like to open durian, and they especially love the fun of opening a blind box, especially when they open a Baoen durian.
Use a knife to make a slit in the bottom of the durian, and then break it apart with your bare hands, and the durian will be separated into two halves.
The two pieces of meat in front of you are full of meat filling and smell sweet. Smelling this unique aroma, you feel like you are in a tropical jungle.
The remaining petals were quickly peeled off, and she carefully took them out and placed them on a plate. There were 6 pieces of meat in total, and each one was as thick as an arm.
She was so happy that she couldn't help but take a photo and send it to the chat group.
"Holy crap! My favorite! I didn't expect the boss to find durian!"
"So plump and fat, my mouth is watering."
"Why can I only find corn, but some people can find durian?"
"Think positively, corn is a staple food and it's very filling!"
"Based on my experience, Mr. Yan definitely has more than one durian. He must have a whole tree of durian!"
"Thinking about it, it seems to be true. How much does one tree have to earn? I'm so envious."
"Boss, are you going to sell it to me? (Acting pitifully and cutely)"
Yan Lan: "I have a durian tree. I plan to sell a few today, but only in exchange for blueprints~"
She couldn't finish all the meat from the six rooms, so she gave three of them to Shi Yuanyuan, Yuan Zhou and Luo Wen respectively.
When he sent it to Shi Yuanyuan, he also happened to send him a bunch of durian flesh, which was equally golden and plump.
Yan Lan's heart moved slightly, and she asked, "What is this?"
Shi Yuanyuan: "Hehe~ I told you about my cousin before, remember? I found him when the world channel was opened. He gave this to me as a gift. Take it and eat it. I have another one!"
Yan Lan: "What's your cousin's name?"
Shi Yuanyuan: "Ji Zhou, I mentioned this to you before, you won't have forgotten it, right?"
Yan Lan looked at the familiar name on the friend interface and felt a sense of emotion in her heart. She had indeed forgotten it, but now she remembered it again.
After Durian was put on the trading center, players soon contacted it.
"Boss Yan, are you there? I have the blueprint for sunglasses, can I exchange it for durian, hehe~"
Blueprints have always been very valuable items, and they were also the sunglasses she had always wanted, so she readily traded them for a whole durian.
The players who received the supplies happily posted messages showing off the two boxes of durian meat. After completing the first copy, the world channel was opened and players could post and reply to messages.
But the trading center is still limited to the region.
The next person was a familiar male player. Yan Lan remembered his name because he said there was a lot of wood in his copy.
"Hello, I want to trade 10,000 pieces of wood."
10,000!
Did he use all the grids to hold wood? Very impressive.
Yan Lan asked: "Besides durian, what else do you want to exchange?"
The player replied: "200 charcoal and some fruit."
200 pieces of charcoal were enough to get them through the remaining days, and there was even a lot left over. He must have wanted to exchange some of the charcoal for other supplies.
She estimated the value and replied, "In addition to 200 pieces of charcoal, I'll also give you 50 rolls of toilet paper, a pair of sunglasses, three tangerines, three apples, and a room full of durian."
The players were extremely excited when looking at these supplies. Now there was plenty of wood and the exchange price had risen to 10 wood for one piece of charcoal.
I thought she would bargain for a lower price, but I didn't expect her to be so kind.
200 charcoal can also be exchanged for a lot of supplies. Sunglasses can prevent snow blindness and are very useful.
And those fruits, he originally thought Yan Lan would give him some steamed buns, but he didn't expect it to be fruits!
The fruits here are extremely valuable. He has been in the game for so many days and has only grown a small orange. Especially the durian flesh, it makes him drool just by looking at it.
This copy was really rewarding!
He rubbed his waist, which was unable to straighten up due to picking up wood, and agreed eagerly: "No problem."
Yan Lan: "The charcoal, toilet paper, and sunglasses may not be available to you until later. They haven't been made yet."
"No problem~"
After the transaction was completed, the player proudly took a photo and posted it in the group, which attracted a lot of envy.
As soon as the transaction was completed, the next player came up.
"Hello, I have 10,000 units of cotton. Would you like to buy it?"
Cotton can be used to make clothes, quilts, towels, and even sanitary napkins, and it is not as common as wood.
Yan Lan was very tempted and asked, "Tell me your target price."
"I need some charcoal, a men's jacket, some men's underwear, and, uh, can I have a durian? It's my favorite."
Fifty cotton balls can make one roll of cloth, and one roll of cloth can make one coat or 10 pairs of underwear. She quoted a price based on the amount of cotton used: "200 pieces of charcoal, one coat, 10 pairs of underwear, three tangerines, three apples, and one durian."
Her charcoal is extremely precious in the ice and snow, and giving him so much charcoal is also a kind of guarantee.
The player agreed readily: "No problem."
Then he collected some wood, food and scattered cloth from several other players.
After collecting the materials, Yan Lan started production without stopping.
First, pay off the players' debts, and after paying off the goods, start selling new charcoal and clothes in the trading center.
She made 3,000 pieces of charcoal at 5 seconds each, and one coat at 30 seconds each. She made 50 coats for each man and woman. After the production, she gave the charcoal to Shi Yuanyuan to sell.
The transaction volume was very large, but fortunately Shi Yuanyuan had two reliable helpers. I heard that Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang found a resource point in this copy. Xiao Hei got a box of corn and Xiao Huang got a box of instant noodles.
She was busy working as soon as she came out of the dungeon, and had a quick dinner. By the time she finished everything, it was already 10:30 in the evening.
Yan Lan rubbed her aching waist, quickly washed up, and climbed onto the bed.
When she opened the bed curtain, she saw a furry white ball standing on the pillow, staring at her angrily.
Time goes back, Yan Lan remembered what she promised it during the day.
No wonder it disappeared after circling her twice and didn't offer to help her. I thought it couldn't stand the smell of durian. It turned out that it was hiding here because it was angry.
She poked its chubby cheek with her finger and chuckled: "Okay, I'll make you chicken soup early tomorrow morning."
Snowball still had his cheeks puffed up like a frog.
"I'll give you all the chicken legs, okay~"
Snowball finally calmed down, flew to her face, kissed her, and fell asleep.
