191 chestnuts
Because strawberries are constantly bringing benefits to Kunyang Fruit Industry, Qian Lina is not in the mood to chase Zhou Kun to develop new sources of goods for the time being, but Zhou Kun finds that he has not been to the other world for a long time.
"Sir, this is a letter from Master George. As soon as Zhou Kun appeared in the manor, Higgins handed Zhou Kun a roll of parchment.
"What about the letter left for me?"
"Young Master George was called up by the Empire a month ago to serve on the front lines. ”
Higgins's answer made Zhou Kun stunned, he didn't expect that the aristocratic young man here would actually have to serve in the military, in order to avoid the goofs of things that he didn't understand the otherworldly language, Zhou Kun took the parchment and said lightly: "Okay, I know." ”
"There is another matter, Miss Winnie was sent back by the Iron and Blood Duke's family. ”
"Oh, Winnie is going back too?" Zhou Kun suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, after all, every time he came to the other world, his two apprentices surrounded him, and now in a blink of an eye, they were gone.
"In that case, I'll walk around the manor by myself. Higgins looked at the back of Master Kuhn leaving, and suddenly felt that the other party seemed to be a little lost.
Since the two apprentices are not there, Zhou Kun is going to Pilux's dragon's lair, although the collection of oranges has not been interrupted during this time, but I heard that Pilux is about to catch up with her goddess, Zhou Kun is ready to take this opportunity to see if he can squeeze some more valuable things from Pilux.
"Are you Master Kuhn?" Suddenly a voice came from behind him, and Zhou Kun saw a little boy with a familiar face, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
"I'm Kamodo, and you bought our Storm Pig more than a year ago, Master Kuhn, remember?"
Speaking of this, Zhou Kun suddenly had some impressions, but in his memory, more than 20 days had passed, and the little boy before had grown a lot taller, so Zhou Kun didn't recognize him at the first time.
"Kamodo, did you tell me something?"
Zhou Kun's words made the boy named Kamodo stunned, his first reaction after seeing Master Kuhn just now was to stop him, he also called Master Kuhn's name like this before, he accepted the ribs burned by his mother, and bought his own storm pork for several times the price.
Now that Zhou Kun said this, he didn't have storm pork in his hand, so what should he give to his beloved Master Kuhn?
Kamodo has grown up, although the owner of Kun En Manor is very kind, and Young Master George, who took over the management, is also very generous, but he has already understood some concepts of respect and inferiority, hearing Zhou Kun say this, he was suddenly a little scared, Master Kun En will not blame him for this matter.
"Master Kuhn, can you wait for me here for a while?"
Looking at the young man who had already run away, Zhou Kun could only promise to the air: "Okay." ”
It wasn't long before Kamodo returned with a small cloth bag.
"Master Kuhn, this is the prickly fruit that my mother fried for me, it is delicious, you can taste it. ”
Only then did Zhou Kun know that Kamodo was like the last time he sent the storm pig, and he offered what he thought was delicious to himself. He couldn't bear to refuse Kamodo's kindness, so he could only cooperate: "Is that so? It just so happens that I'm hungry too, so let's try it." ”
Originally, Zhou Kun was ready, as long as the things that the kid took out were not so unpalatable that they were hard to swallow, Zhou Kun would cooperate and say that it was delicious.
It's just that after Kamodo took out the "thorny peel fruit" he said in his mouth, Zhou Kun was stunned, although each fruit in his hand was the size of a baby's fist, but this thing Zhou Kun couldn't be more familiar with, isn't this a chestnut?
Originally, Zhou Kun was still worried about the supply of goods, he really had no way to prepare, so he transformed the kiwifruit in the ecological garden, after all, the grapefruit tree brought last time also gave birth to a small number of elves, and he originally set the goal of the next fruit on the kiwifruit, and now it seems that it is just right to use chestnuts to make a transition, and when the chestnut sales are over, the kiwi can just grab a wave of money in the New Year, perfect!
Kamodo didn't know that the Master Kuhn in front of him was already immersed in the plan to make money, he thought that Master Kuhn didn't like the prickly fruit he brought, after all, this is what their poor people eat, and I heard my mother say that a big man like Master Kuhn eats white bread every day.
Thinking of this, Kamodo lowered his head in disappointment, clutched his cloth bag tightly, and heard Master Kuhn's voice coming: "Kamodo, where is your thorny fruit? Didn't you say you wanted to give me a taste?"
"Master Kuhn, maybe you'd like to taste the eggs?" said the prickly fruit, "We poor people eat it."
"Your mother's craftsmanship is very good, I thought the storm pork was very fragrant last time, and this prickly fruit will definitely not be bad. ”
Hearing Master Kuhn praise his mother's craftsmanship, Kamodo said with honor: "Of course, my mother's craftsmanship is the best." ”
Zhou Kun took the chestnut and peeled off the outer shell, and unexpectedly the soft skin on the chestnut was not tightly glued to the chestnut, but could be taken off with a slight peel, and Zhou Kun easily peeled out a complete chestnut kernel.
The huge chestnut kernels are thrown into the mouth, and with the gentle squeezing of the tongue, the chestnuts are quickly crushed in the mouth and turned into powdery chestnut puree.
Zhou Kun has never eaten such soft and glutinous chestnuts, generally small cone chestnuts will be a little more glutinous and sweeter than large chestnuts, but the chestnuts brought by Kamodo not only surpass ordinary chestnuts much in terms of soft glutinousness, but also have a good aroma of nuts, which makes Zhou Kun have a great appetite.
"Kamodo, do you still have this prickly peel fruit at home?"
"There are not many prickly peels at home, but in previous years there were many, when there was nothing to eat in winter, our whole family would go to the field to collect thorny peel fruits to make food, but in the last two years, there was enough food in the manor even in winter, so I didn't collect any more thorny peel fruits, these thorny peel fruits were picked up when I went to the field to dig birds' eggs, and pestered my mother to make me snacks. ”
"You mean that there are a lot of people who use this prickly peel fruit as food for the winter?
"There may not be many people eating this on our estate, but my good friend Kurad has a lot of prickly peel fruit in the house of my good friend Curad on the next estate. ”
Zhou Kun finally found a fruit that people from the other world also eat, probably because the starch contained in chestnuts is relatively high, compared to ordinary fruits, it has a stronger sense of satiety, and it provides more energy.
"Kamodo, you've done me a great favor, I need you to help me call Higgins. ”
