Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 74 Honey Fruit

Zhao Yuan was completely unaware of the commotion in the group chat. She only felt very tired and fell asleep.

When Zhao Yuan woke up the next morning, she felt more comfortable than ever before, and she couldn't help but stretch.

"I slept so well."

Zhao Yuan was stunned after she finished speaking, "Sleep? It's been so long since I've had a good night's sleep."

But when I checked the time, it was already past eight o'clock. I remembered that the last time I checked my phone yesterday was around 11 o'clock, and I actually fell asleep!

Zhao Yuan jumped out of bed excitedly and ran around the room happily, shouting, "I'm asleep! I'm asleep!"

As she spoke, she ran to the bathroom and looked at her dark circles in the mirror.

Perhaps it was psychological, but she felt that her dark circles had faded.

"Great, great!" She was overjoyed at finally getting a good night's sleep.

She didn't pick up her phone for more than ten minutes because she remembered Xia Shiyu telling her yesterday that grapes have sleep-inducing properties.

After a good night's sleep today, Xia Shiyu was immediately certain: it was definitely the grapes that made her fall asleep. Otherwise, why couldn't she sleep before? She was able to fall asleep after eating the grapes.

Zhao Yuan picked up her phone and looked closely before realizing she was still on the insomnia group page.

She checked the 99+ messages and realized that someone had tagged her.

However, when she slid up to the top, she found someone asking her if she was asleep, but after thinking about it, she still didn't reply.

As someone who also suffers from insomnia, Zhao Yuan felt compelled to share methods for relieving insomnia with her fellow group members.

However, she also remembered that Shi Yu had said that the quantity of these grapes was currently limited and that they could only be supplied in large quantities after she had grown them.

So she held back and quickly made a phone call to Xia Shiyu.

"Shiyu, Shiyu, I'm so excited! I actually fell asleep very early last night. I'm so happy! Thank you for the grapes. I didn't expect them to actually have this effect."

Hearing Zhao Yuan's excited voice, Xia Shiyu was also very happy. "It's great that grapes have this effect. This way you can sleep a little longer."

"Yes, thank you so much, Shi Yu, but..." Zhao Yuan hesitated slightly.

Xia Shiyu noticed something was wrong. "What happened?"

"It's Shi Yu. You know I was bored because I couldn't sleep, so I joined an insomnia group online. Everyone in it is suffering from insomnia. But I haven't told them about the grapes yet. Can I tell them directly after you grow them?"

Zhao Yuan finished speaking in one breath.

Xia Shiyu nodded readily, "Of course you can, why not? Right now, it's a bit troublesome to tell people because the grapes haven't been planted yet and the supply isn't very large. But once my grapes ripen, I guarantee everyone will get some."

"And you insomniacs can also boost my sales."

Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. "Phew, I'm relieved to hear that. Thank you so much."

"It's nothing, I'm glad I could help you." After Xia Shiyu finished speaking, the two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.

Xia Shiyu felt that everything was on track. Now, the fruits and vegetables, as well as other vegetables, were being supplied and growing normally. The grapes, however, still needed quite a long time to ripen.

Xia Shiyu's heart began to itch again, feeling that he could go to Giant Farm again. This was the citrus sapling he wanted, and he hoped that if he planted it now, it would be fully grown by the time of the New Year.

It's already the end of October, time to get the seeds.

With a thought, Xia Shiyu re-entered the fairy tale world. This time, she went straight to the giant's house, without having to go through the "mountain crossing" again.

Xia Shiyu arrived at the table in the giant's house, and at the same time, a bell appeared next to her.

Xia Shiyu took a look and realized it was the same bell the giant had given her last time.

Xia Shiyu picked up the bell and shook it a few times, and the bell made a crisp sound.

As the bell rang, the giant's figure appeared before them.

Xia Shiyu glanced at the giant with delight and greeted her.

Hello Giant!

The giant smiled, and his imposing voice came from above.

"Hello, what kind of seeds would you like today?"

Xia Shiyu stated her needs, "Hello, I want citrus seedlings that can mature in a few months."

After hearing Xia Shiyu's request, the giant nodded. "Okay, you can get it as long as you complete the task."

[You have triggered the Giant's Farm daily quest: Harvesting Honey.]

Xia Shiyu looked at the daily task and wondered if it meant she had to collect honey.

When the giant took her to the place, she realized something was wrong.

The giant led her to a tree that looked a lot like a durian tree. It didn't have many leaves, but many branches stretched out, with round, pink fruits hanging below.

"This is a honey fruit, which I specially cultivated. The fruit contains stored nectar. Your task today is to help me collect this nectar."

Xia Shiyu suddenly realized that this was a variety bred by the giants themselves, no wonder she hadn't recognized it.

After the giant finished speaking, he handed her a small knife and placed her on the tree trunk.

After Xia Shiyu reached the tree trunk, which was as wide as a path, he walked along it to the vicinity of the honey fruit.

These honey fruits are quite large, each one weighing as much as a watermelon weighing twenty or thirty pounds.

Moreover, as the giant just explained, there is a special place on the bottom of the honey fruit; only by piercing that place can the nectar be stored intact.

Below are various containers. Xia Shiyu only needs to find the right opening for these honey fruits, and then she realizes that she can cut them open to let the honey flow down.

Fortunately, the tree was quite large, so Xia Shiyu didn't have to crawl over slowly to get closer; she could just stay nearby.

She carefully cut open the bottom of the nearest honey fruit in front of her.

The pale white honey seeped out and fell into the white container below.

Xia Shiyu smelled a sweet, fruity aroma.

She was almost tempted to try it, but she restrained herself and focused on completing her work.

She walked through the tree and slowly harvested all the honey fruit from the entire tree.

This tree has about a dozen fruits, and you need to be careful during the process. The knife marks cannot be too deep or too shallow, and the position must be just right.

So Xia Shiyu worked on it carefully for a long time before she felt that the speed had increased a little.

She kept moving, and the large buckets below were filled with fruit nectar.

The workload was enormous, so Xia Shiyu had to spend a lot of time dealing with it.

She felt like she had turned into a monkey, having to climb up and down these places.
