Chapter 122

This was the first time Xie Juanhan had ever tasted such pure and sweet water since he came into this world.

No, this was the first time in two worlds that he had tasted this water.

Even though I've drunk purified water in my hometown, it's not as sweet and refreshing as this water.

Xie Juanhan thought about it and couldn't help but take another sip.

No wonder Harper and the others drink water so enthusiastically every morning.

This water tastes really good.

Xie Juanhan finished drinking, he held the leaf to Telingewei's lips, gesturing for him to take a sip as well.

After Telingewei finished tasting it, he looked at the giant with a meaningful gaze.

The giant said proudly, "Was the water I brought good?"

Xie Juanhan nodded and praised, "Very sweet spring water."

Giant: "What can we exchange this water for?"

Xie Juanhan: "Most of the fruits and vegetables in our fields are ripe. How about we take you to pick them yourself? You can choose whatever you want to eat."

The giant was surprised that they were so agreeable. "Is it alright?"

Xie Juanhan smiled, "Of course, this way."

Telingewei looked at Xie Juanhan with a questioning gaze.

Xie Juanhan gently pulled his hand, signaling him not to speak.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei took the giant to see their farmland.

Harper and the others ran over and scurried around the giant.

Before they even reached the farmland, Moli, who was dozing in the Demon Wolf den, smelled an unfamiliar scent, his ears twitched, and he immediately ran out.

It only relaxed its guard slightly when it saw Xie Juanhan and Telingewei.

Only Nibote was unaware of what was happening and did not react to the unfamiliar smell.

It lay on its back in its soft nest, legs spread apart, exposing its soft belly, fast asleep.

Haxi had to bite its paw to wake it up.

"Meow." Nibote licked his huge paws, swished his tail, yawned, and came over to join his friends.

The giant was already standing on the edge of the field.

It stared in astonishment at the crops before it.

Star Berry, Golden Vine Pumpkin, Orange Sweet Shoot, Cold Melon... all the crops are growing extremely well.

Especially the Star Berry.

The orange-yellow berries looked like little lanterns under the pale light of the sky.

Xie Juanhan looked at his own crops and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Unfortunately, the giants arrived a little too late, and their crops were not kept in optimal condition.

When I used elemental fertilizer on the Star Berry and Golden Vine Pumpkin, the berries grew so fast they were as big as a fist. If I picked them and put them on a plate, three would fill a whole plate.

Now that there's no elemental fertilizer, the quality of the new batch of Star Berry has slightly decreased; it takes five berries to fill a plate.

The giant had never seen Xie Juanhan's family farm in its prime, and the current scene was already quite astonishing.

Those large, Star Berry, those large, clustered pumpkin blossoms, those Cold Melon that were bigger than his eyeballs.

These crops are much better than wild fruits!

The giant, holding the basket on his back, carefully stretched out his hand to pick the fruit.

He used magic to make himself half-levitate on the ground, with his feet not firmly planted.

Therefore, he could step into the farmland and select the crops that best suited his taste.

The crops that Xie Juanhan and his team grow are excellent.

After the giant finished picking this, he wanted to pick that.

His hands didn't stop, and soon he had filled two baskets.

Neither Xie Juanhan nor Telingewei reminded him; they simply handed him a new basket when his basket was full.

The giant was so engrossed in the joy of harvesting that he couldn't tear himself away. When he came to his senses, six baskets were already neatly arranged on the edge of the field.

Daylight broke.

The morning light shone on the basket on the giant's back, and every kind of crop inside captivated his gaze.

You picked too much.

The giant painfully turned the spatial ring, opened his mouth, and decided to give the two dragons some other supplies.

These crops are so good that he can't give up any of them.

See you tomorrow!

Chapter 122 [VIP]

The sun is about to rise, and the rosy clouds on the horizon are becoming increasingly brilliant.

The giant's expression was laid bare in the glow of the sunset.

Xie Juanhan spoke up first, "Do you want all these vegetables and fruits?"

The giant twirled his spatial ring, looking troubled. "How many gold coins do I need? I don't have many."

Xie Juanhan: "No need for gold coins."

"No gold coins?" The giant instantly became wary. "Star Berry don't even cost gold coins? They're level two magical plants!"

Xie Juanhan waved his hand. "Listen to me, we don't want gold coins, we just want to exchange them for some water, the kind of water you gave us."

The giant remained wary. "I can't exchange that much water for it."

Xie Juanhan: "We need a large amount of water. Not only do we need to change the water this time, but we also want to exchange water with you on a long-term basis."

Xie Juanhan told the giant his idea, "I hope to use the water you send for cooking and making tea. I'll probably need about one bucket a day. Could you send more, every two or three days?"

The giant listened attentively and didn't seem to object.

Xie Juanhan observed his expression and said, "We can exchange crops. For Cold Melon, I'd like to exchange three large Cold Melon for a bucket of water, and two Star Berry for a bucket of water. Of course, this is just a suggestion; we can discuss the specifics of the exchange."

The giant looked at the Cold Melon in his basket; three Cold Melon were enough to fill half the basket.

The price offered by Silver Dragon is quite reasonable.

Xie Juanhan: "You've already seen the crops we grow in our fields. In the future, we will grow even more crops, and you can choose your favorites."

The giant nodded.

Xie Juanhan: "You can assume that you buy groceries every week, but when you come here to buy groceries, you don't pay with gold coins, you only pay with water."

This trading model sounds much more acceptable and less stressful.

The giant readily accepted Xie Juanhan's offer to trade.

Xie Juanhan told him to take the vegetables and fruits he had picked back first, and that water would be delivered later.

Once we've used up these fruits and vegetables, we'll pick new ones and pay the bill.

Xie Juanhan didn't find the act of ordering water strange at all.

In his hometown, almost every household had ordered bottled water or bought bottled water.

It's not surprising that someone would ask a giant to deliver water to them.

In particular, this giant would always come in the middle of the night and gently place water at their gate, without disturbing them at all.

Autumn is approaching, and the Golden Vine Pumpkin in the fields are gradually producing bright green pumpkins.

These pumpkins are gradually turning from bright green to dark green, and it won't be long before they turn golden yellow.

The Golden Vine Pumpkin are growing very well, but unfortunately the Star Berry are gradually stopping flowering.

Even though Xie Juanhan used the newly brewed Demonic Core fertilizer on them, they showed no signs of blooming again.

"It might be past its fruiting season," Xie Juanhan said to Telingewei, examining the vines of the Star Berry.

Lan Sheng's exclusive report by Telingewei: "It looks like spring/summer fruit."

Xie Juanhan: "I think so too. The Cloudtop Cottage is like spring all year round, so it bears fruit all year round. But here, its seasonality is quite obvious."

Xie Juanhan felt it was a bit of a pity.

However, from another perspective, Star Berry do not bear fruit year-round but rather seasonally, which actually ensures the accumulation of flavor compounds and results in better quality.

The Star Berry have stopped producing new flowers, and the last batch of berries on the branches will ripen next year before we can eat them.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei carefully picked the ripe berries, and even set aside a small basket for Harper and the others to deliver to the Pixie.

The Pixie helped them a lot; every time a new crop grew in the field, Xie Juanhan would have Harper and the others deliver a portion to them.

Harper and the others are used to it.

Upon hearing Xie Juanhan's instructions, Nibote stepped forward, opened his mouth wide, and grabbed the basket's handle, meowing.

Xie Juanhan: "Go and come back quickly, we're having fish milk and vegetable soup today."

The little ones got even more excited. "Awoo!"

The Tata Fish were employed by them and would occasionally go to inspect the One-Bone Fish.

During their patrols, they would also milk their fish into the water bags that Xie Juanhan and his companions had placed on the shore.

The water bladder is engraved with a preservation magic.

Telingewei would go over every two days to check on it, and if the water bladder was full, he would bring it back with him.

Xie Juanhan felt like they had ordered milk.

This time, however, the milk delivery workers were not human, but fish.

The milk wasn't cow's milk, but fish milk.

They have a stable supply of high-quality milk, and there are many places where they use milk daily.

Xie Juanhan has used fish milk in many different ways to make various delicacies and desserts.

The only downside is that while Tata Fish milk can be used to make various dairy products and cream, it can't be fermented into cheese.

He asked Orfrey, whose family had raised cattle for generations, and learned that not all milk sources can be used to make cheese.

The villagers have been raising working horses for a long time, so their milk can hardly be made into cheese.

Upon learning this news, Xie Juanhan had no choice but to give up the idea.

Fish cheese is out of the question, so let's stick with goat cheese or cow cheese.

Harper and the others, having received their instructions, returned quickly as expected.

The little baskets they brought back were filled with a whole basket of nuts.

The nuts are large, with smooth skin, and have a rich nutty aroma and a sunny scent.

Xie Juanhan held the basket to his nose and smelled it, then asked, "Are there new nuts already?"

He thought the nuts wouldn't be harvested until autumn this year.

Harper: "Chirp."

Xie Juanhan: "That's true, the Pixie always manage to gather the best and freshest nuts. I'll roast some first, and tomorrow we'll have nut stew with white birds, shall we?"
