Chapter 284 Eating secretly
Josh has never been a person who procrastinates. Once he thinks about what he is going to do, he starts to act immediately.
After asking about Oswin's engineering team, he said that he did have a reliable friend who could help. After the two discussed it, Oswin took over the matter and said that he would be responsible for it.
That's even better.
Originally, Qiao Xi thought that he had been busy dealing with various matters in the Weiguang Commercial District recently, and he was not seen all day long. He was very busy, so he planned to do it himself. Since he still had the energy to spare, he would leave it to him.
She can also start developing new products.
The bitter candy was still a little green and not yet mature, so Josh took out the water chestnuts that had been refrigerated in the warehouse for a winter.
For new products, let’s start with horseshoes.
Josh has also thought of a name, the Glimmer Fruit Drink - Honey Water Chestnut Drink.
Just like the hot-selling fruit drinks at the moment, Qiao Xi found an artist to design a unique sign for Honey Water Chestnut Sunflower, which was printed on special sticky paper and can be pasted on fruit drink bottles to let customers recognize it as Weiguang Farm.
This time, the honey water chestnut is different from the traditional flower flavor, which is satisfying, rich, delicate and intense.
This time, Qiao Xi prepared it specially for the hot summer. Of course, Chaoyang City has more than just hot summer, there are also hot spring and hot autumn. After such a long period of hot weather, Qiao Xi has full confidence that the cool and refreshing horse hoof feeling will be liked by everyone.
So she slightly modified the recipe to make it sweet and refreshing. She also used special tools to crush the water chestnuts so that the water chestnut grains were of the right size and would not cause too much waste.
Of course, since it is for commercial use, the honey in it cannot be added as much as before. Although the pictures are for reference only, the actual amount is indeed reduced by 70 to 80 percent.
What Josh lacked in sweetness, he made up for with granulated sugar and dried flowers collected on the farm.
The process of making water chestnuts is simpler than that of making ground flowers. It only took Qiao Xi one afternoon to produce the first batch of water chestnuts for sale.
Just like Luo Disheng before, he was captured by the logistics commander of the 9th Legion, Dist, as soon as he released the news.
They accept anything from the farm.
A few days ago, Captain Finness sent a message to Josh, saying that the legion would send the spoils obtained from this year's winter pioneering war to Winter Star City to participate in the Spring Festival, and would also bring some specialties from the Glimmer Farm along, hoping to bring good news to Josh.
Ask her if she would mind leaving her contact number at the Spring Festival. If there are caravans heading to Chaoyang City for trade and are interested in Weiguang Farm's products, maybe they can help Weiguang Farm open up new markets.
This was a good thing that didn't require any effort on his part, so how could Josh refuse? He agreed immediately.
Josh saw and remembered how Captain Finness took care of the farm, both overtly and covertly. She would never forget it.
After handing over this batch of honey water chestnuts to the rookie caravan, Qiao Xi began to prepare for the water chestnut seedling cultivation.
She left no farmland for the horseshoe crabs to grow; she planned to plant them in the pinchberry bog.
The pinch fruit swamp is large, much larger than the farmland that Josh had reclaimed. The area where the digging pigs were previously asked to collect pinch fruits only occupied one-third of the swamp at most, but it was enough to provide the farm with a season's worth of pinch fruits, not to mention planting some water chestnuts in it, which was a simple matter.
In the current pinch fruit swamp, there is nothing but the dead grass left over from last winter and the rotten pinch fruits and their stems. It is a good opportunity to plant some water chestnuts to enrich the environment.
In the foggy secret realm, Josh and the digging team swept through a swamp and dug out a lot of horse hooves.
It is no problem to pick out hundreds of kilograms of high-quality water chestnuts with full buds.
Josh was afraid of getting stuck in the quagmire, so he piled the seeds on the edge of the swamp and gave them to the beavers to sow.
The farm has been busy lately, and the little beavers have a lot of work to do on the water conservancy projects. We were able to call on them to help today thanks to the big beaver, who went out to visit relatives (recruiting illegal workers) half a month ago.
With the cooperation from Moon Bay, it brought back three honest raccoons from there. Together with these little guys on the farm, it was able to do a good job of maintaining the various rivers on the farm. Today, it was barely able to free up its hands to help Qiao Xi.
Didn’t Josh tell it that he could bring back a few more to save them from being too tired? More beavers mean more helpers.
But the beavers on the farm argued that if they shouted too much at once, they would not be able to defeat the foreign beavers. That would not be possible. They would rather work hard themselves than hire a few more beavers to help.
Qiao Xi said she would help them, and those foreign beavers would definitely not be able to beat the big-tailed yaks. However, the beavers accused Qiao Xi of being unsportsmanlike, which choked Qiao Xi.
Okay, the beavers have grown up and have their own ideas. They can’t affect the normal operation of the farm, so just let them be.
She no longer interfered in their love-hate relationship.
The beavers were carrying horseshoe seeds and moving around in the muddy swamp. The relaxed and comfortable feeling made Josh want to go down and try to dig some.
Of course she is self-aware.
It was just seedling cultivation, and Josh didn't have too high requirements. He just followed a straight line and bury the horse hooves in his arms in the mud. It was an easy task for the little beavers.
Of course, even with such an easy job, Josh also caught two beavers doing bad things.
"Is it delicious?" Qiao Xi's sinister voice came from a distance. The beaver boss Douchi and his younger brother Dou were stunned. The boss looked at his younger brother and said, "Didn't you say that you couldn't see it because it was far away?"
Little brother Dou was silent for a moment and gave his elder brother an innocent look. I don’t know how human eyes can see so far.
Before Josh could ask a second time, the two beavers swallowed the horse hoof in one gulp, lowered their heads, pretending not to hear, and started working quickly.
Two silly foxes were quietly hiding in the distance and chewing on the water chestnut seeds, thinking that Qiao Xi couldn't see them. Little did she know that the way they wiped the dirt off the water chestnut skin on their bodies was so obvious that it was hard for her not to see it.
The most important thing is that these horse hooves were coated with a layer of special fertilizer for golden dung beetles, which would not burn the roots. These were the dirt that the two of them were wiping off just now. If Josh didn't say that they were eating shit, how could this be possible?
Besides, these water chestnut seeds were picked out by her and piled up for several days, but they didn't eat them. Yet they started to gnaw on them while she was working. It's really disgusting. How can they work properly?
With the experience of the two of them as a lesson, the beavers nearby also extinguished their eagerness to make a move. They dared not to do it anymore. Josh was scary when he was angry.
