Chapter 3: The Envy of the Villagers
"The sweet fruit on this tree is finished, and we will replace it with another tree. β
Willy jumped from a tree and bent his knee as soon as he hit the ground, reducing impact damage to his knee.
According to the knowledge given by the previous title attribute panel, Willy has collected all the high-quality sweet fruits on this tree.
"Good!"
Velia glanced at the large back basket that filled a third of the house, and smiled in agreement.
Without waiting for Willy to move, she put the small basket on her back, and then dragged the large basket with both hands and walked towards another tree.
"Not there. β
Seeing this, Willy patted Velia's head and carried the large back basket that Velia dragged on his back: "That tree doesn't produce particularly delicious sweet fruits, so we're going to find another tree to pick." β
From the basic gathering knowledge he acquired, Willy not only learned how to identify the sweet fruit, but also fundamentally learned how to identify the sweet fruit tree that can produce good fruit. Finding a high-quality sweet fruit tree will not only get a better tasting sweet fruit, but also save a lot of picking time and improve the efficiency of picking.
"Hmm!"
Velia didn't argue, and obediently followed behind Willy, making an obedient little tail.
Willy carried a large basket on his back, tree by tree, looking for qualified fruit trees.
"That's it. β
Willy first carefully examined the trunk of the tree, then crouched down to look at the soil beneath the fruit tree, then tore off a piece of bark and sniffed it lightly before finally making his choice.
He put the basket down and climbed up the tree as easily as he had just done before.
"Efficiency......
Willy looked at the sweet fruit on the tree and couldn't help but nod.
The fruit here is not only round and shapely, but also has a more intense aroma, and even if you don't get on top of the fruit, you can smell the unique aroma of the fruit from the fruit. In addition, the fruit on this tree grows more densely, which means that more fruit can be picked on the same tree, and the frequency of picking and changing trees is reduced.
The sweet fruits were thrown down by Willy one by one, and Velia caught them accurately.
Vilia was more and more surprised, because the fruit she had picked was smoother and more fragrant than before.
It turned out that when he came to pick the sweet fruit, he only had a rare chance to encounter such a superb fruit tree, but it was incredible that Willy found it easily through his own discernment.
For the first time, the little girl found that her second brother, who looked honest and a little stunned, was so capable.
"Enough is enough!"
When Velia was sure that the two baskets, one large and one small, could no longer hold any more sweet fruits, she shouted to Willy on the tree.
When Willy heard this, he glanced at the little fruit left in the tree, and jumped down from the tree.
"If we take the fruit to the town market, it will sell for fifty copper rams, and we will eat five meals of white bread!"
Vilia's face showed irrepressible excitement.
Willy smiled softly, not accosting.
They were all civilians under the rule of the Duchy of LanΓ§o, and the copper rum was the most basic currency of the Duchy of LanΓ§o.
In the Duchy of Lansault, one gold is equal to one hundred silver rums, and one silver is equal to one hundred copper bills. The monthly income of an ordinary civilian family is about 2,000 copper rams, which is 20 silver rams.
The people of this world have gone through the stage of bad money driving out good money, and discovered the media medium properties of money, so whether it is Jinlem, silver or copper, the material is not enough gold, silver and copper, but there are some doped in it, and the rest of a currency is cast from more ordinary ore materials. If you want to get gold and silver by smelting currency, you will definitely lose nothing.
"My father and mother will be very happy when they find out. β
Vilia's mouth kept talking, as if this was the only way to calm her excitement.
"Let's go, go home. β
Willy already had a large basket full of sweet fruits on his back.
The weight of the basket was not light, which made Willy feel a little difficult, but looking at Willia, who was also carrying a basket full of sweet fruits, Willy still didn't say anything to complain.
The two walked out of the woods, the sun still shining, although the sun was not as blazing as when it came, but it still made people sweat profusely.
Because of the extra burden on my back, the return journey took a lot longer.
When Willy and Velia were tired, they would rest under a tree by the roadside for a while, and eat a sweet fruit or two to quench their thirst.
It took more than an hour for the two to return to the village.
At this time, the road in the village is no longer as inaccessible as it is in the afternoon, and many villagers are already rushing to their homes after harvesting the wheat.
"Willy, Velia, the hard-working child has gone to pick sweet fruits again. β
A middle-aged woman with a sickle and a hoe in her hand approached.
"Aunt Shanna. β
Willy and Velia still greeted each other politely, and Vilia brought the basket to Aunt Shanna's face and asked her to pick out a few sweet fruits to take home and eat.
"Oh my God, this is the sweet fruit you picked?!"
Aunt Shana's eyes couldn't help but widen after seeing the quality of the sweet fruits picked by the two.
She and her husband and children at home will also pick sweet fruits during the slack time, but none of the sweet fruits picked can be as beautiful as those picked by Willy and Willia, which are not only beautiful in appearance, but also full of rich fragrance.
"Hmm!"
Vilia seemed to enjoy the enviable gaze and explained loudly, "This was all taken by Willy!"
"How did you do that?"
Aunt Shanna picked up a sweet fruit and looked at it carefully, and asked suspiciously.
"Luckily, I didn't expect to stumble upon such a high-quality sweet fruit tree. β
Velia wanted to tell the story of the picking process and show off her brother's talent, but Willy was preempted.
Willy doesn't want to publicize his abilities for the time being, after all, jealousy is a human instinct.
"What a lucky child. β
Aunt Shanna didn't doubt him, but she was envious that these two baskets of sweet fruits could be sold for a lot of money.
After saying goodbye to Aunt Shanna, Willy leaned into Velia's ear and whispered, "Don't tell outsiders that I know how to discern the sweet fruit tree, you know?"
Although Vilia was small, seeing Willy's performance, she also guessed his thoughts: "Got it." β
Later, on the way, he met several other villagers he knew, and Willy used the same excuse to prevaricate, so that everyone was amazed at the good luck of Willy and Velia.
A few minutes later, Willy and Velia, tired from all the way, finally returned home.
