Chapter 14 Daily Life
Since leaving Wen En, Josh hasn't been to the orchard for several days.
The big-tailed yak is a large magical beast. No one knows how much grass and magic fruit it eats every day, and it poops a lot every day. Qiao Xi has told it not to urinate or defecate anywhere. Although it is difficult to control its urination, it defecates at designated places.
So when it saw Josh trying to touch its poop, the big-tailed yak couldn't believe its eyes!
"Moo!"
"Ah" Qiao Xi looked at the big-tailed yak in confusion, then looked down at the cow dung on the ground and understood.
Qiao Xi grinned and said, "Don't be shy, big-tailed yak. You eat so much grass every day, you must make the best use of it. This fertilizer is so good, look." As he spoke, he shoveled a shovelful and handed it to the big-tailed yak to let it see.
The big-tailed yak was so angry that it ran away, "Moo~" Qiao Xi has mad cow disease!
"Go to hell, I didn't!" Josh cursed with a smile.
Cow dung is indeed not that smelly, not to mention that these are the earliest ones. They have been fermented for many days and dried by the sun, so they don’t look disgusting at all.
The taro and bamboo fields needed fertilizer. Qiao Xi heard them complaining about their poor growth, so he decided to use the dung of the big-tailed yak, which is a high-level magical beast and will definitely be effective.
Qiao Xi shoveled the dried cow dung into the dung bucket one by one. When it was full, he took it to the taro bamboo field. Putting on gloves, he began to fertilize the taro bamboo. The taro bamboo had now grown to Qiao Xi's chest, and it was not easy to spread a handful of fertilizer on each tree.
Some leaves began to grow taro sprouts, and Qiao Xi had to be careful to avoid touching the taro sprouts. These things were very fragile and would fall off if touched.
All the dry manure had been spread. Qiao Xi saw that there were still a few taro plants that had not received any fertilizer, so he took half a bucket of water, rinsed the manure bucket, and watered them. Let them eat some of the manure, no matter how thin it was.
He didn't feel anything when he was spreading it, but when he came out of the taro and bamboo field, Qiao Xi still smelled a faint stench.
Well, no matter how tasteless it is, it’s still shit.
Fortunately, she had prepared in advance. She had boiled hot water in the stove and added some cold water to fill a large basin. She took a quick bath and then strolled to look for the big-tailed yak.
This big girl is still brooding over the fact that Qiao Xi touched her poop, and she's very disgusted.
Qiao Xi pretended that she had not washed her hands and deliberately patted the big-tailed yak's butt. When she patted, the big-tailed yak ran away, playing as it ran.
The big-tailed yak knew that Josh had washed his hands, but it deliberately acted disgusted, which made Josh so angry that he screamed.
When he was almost at the giant lemon orchard, Qiao Xi ran: "Big-tailed yak, catch me!"
He then rushed over, grabbed the mane of the big-tailed yak, jumped up, and sat on the yak's back.
"Hahaha, big-tailed yak, you're the best." Josh got close to it.
Sitting on the cow's back, Josh could see higher and farther than on the ground. The fruit trees were now covered with green leaves, and many fruits were hidden in the woods, especially the bitter candies, which were bright red at the tops of the trees. He had never seen so many of them even when he was under the trees before.
They pointed to places with more food and asked the big-tailed yak to go there to eat. After the big-tailed yak had satisfied its craving, the man and the yak slowly walked back.
Before going to bed, Qiao Xi made up his mind to go collect bitter candies tomorrow. Those small fruits were bright red and ripe.
………
Josh carried a pair of small scissors and a small basket, and cut the ripe bitter candies from the branches little by little.
A small piece of branch should be left at the bottom of the fruit, otherwise it will easily break, making the color look bad and not very fresh.
Cut, cut, cut. Josh's eyes were dizzy from cutting so much. Soon he had cut a whole basket of flowers.
"Buzz buzz buzz" Josh, you are here~
A fat white velvet bumblebee flew to Josh's shoulder and said, "Buzz buzz, Josh, are you tired? I can smell your sweat."
Qiao Xi laughed. These little guys were quite sensitive. They noticed even the slightest bit of sweat from her.
"Buzz buzz!" Josh, eat honey, eat, lots of honey! A tiny slender-legged bee also flew into Josh's hand.
"Okay, I just want to see how much honey you have made." Josh brushed the ashes off his hands and followed the two little bees into the woods.
When I was repairing the orchard before, I gradually became familiar with these little bees, and now they are not afraid of Qiao Xi and the big-tailed yak.
"Wow, that's amazing! They've made so much honey." The beehive of the slender-tailed bee is like a small cave. It is now full of honey, and the hive is still expanding outward. It looks like a lot.
Josh dipped his finger in it and tasted it. It was really sweet.
"Buzz buzz buzz" the queen bee of the slender-legged bee came out, "Josh, these are for you, they are all yours, we can make more! No problem making as much as you want."
Josh smiled: "They are all mine. Whatever you eat, keep them for yourself. I will exchange with you when I need them."
The little ones are quite arrogant, but they can also eat fruits. They are indeed not short of food now, so it is not wrong.
"Buzz buzz" We have lots of honey for Josh. The slender-legged bee just now spoke again.
"Buzz buzz buzz" was the sound of the little bees echoing.
"Okay, okay, I want it, but can I keep it here with you temporarily?" Josh said with a smile.
There were no jars or anything like that now, so even if I gave it to Josh, he would have nothing to put it in.
After playing with the little bees for a while, Josh continued to cut bitter candies, and put the basket that had just been filled into Josh's space backpack.
Qiao Xi had already cleared it out. Long-term overload would cause problems with the space equipment. The space collapsed and the things inside were destroyed.
You need to keep a proper amount of it so that it can be used for several more years. This space backpack is quite expensive, so you need to use it well.
The sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Qiao Xi's face. She straightened up, pounded her back with her backhand, stretched herself, and prepared to go back.
But before going back, she picked some origami leaves, planning to fold them to make fruit tomorrow.
Qiao Xi also saved up several buckets of milk from big-tailed yaks. He boiled them and froze them for freshness over the past two days. Since he couldn't finish the milk from before, Qiao Xi put it out in boxes and sold it.
However, because there is no container, it can only be sold together with the milking pot. One pot costs more than 2,000 federal points. The price is really not cheap. It is worthy of being a high-level monster.
Although Josh only put the milking pot that was almost out of service in it, the milking pot was almost gone because it had been sold several times.
I must remember to buy some when I go to the free market this time. It would be great if I could buy milk jug saplings so that I can use them anytime and don’t have to worry about them being out of stock.
He scooped two large spoonfuls of milk into the stew pot, and brought it to a slight simmer. He then put in the chopped sweet potatoes and beans, and slowly stirred them until they turned into a sandy, melted paste, and into a fine milk-and-sweet-bean puree. He then squeezed in a little bit of mutant giant lemon juice to remove the odor. The fresh fragrance of lemon mixed with the rich flavor of yak milk filled Josh's stomach.
Before going to bed, Josh put a small cup of milk on the plate at the door for the empty rock rat or other unknown little cuties to eat, wishing them good night~
