Chapter 304 304 Cocoa Tree

The group continued to search, but they never found it, and the exploration became boring.

Suddenly, a man shouted, "I found a fruit tree that I used to eat, would you like to taste it?" ”

Hibiscus looked up, the trees were very tall, and she could only see oval-shaped yellow fruits.

"Is it delicious?" Ye Jin asked.

"It tastes good, but there is no flesh, so you can only suck the pit." The man said.

"Is it a pomegranate?" Hibiscus guessed, looking at the fruit and not like a pomegranate.

Ye Hibiscus suddenly thought of something, and said excitedly: "Pick a few and show me!" ”

The two men looked at each other, could it be that they had found something terrible?

No, they've all eaten that fruit, and it's really no meat, it's all core!

Thinking so, one of the men walked behind a tree and threw out a pile of clothes, which came out as a leopard.

The leopard jumped several meters high in the tree, climbed to the canopy, and struck a fruit with its claws.

Ye Hibiscus hurriedly walked to the place where the fruit fell to look for it, and when he found the yellow fruit, he was overjoyed.

"That's right, it's the fruit I wanted." Ye Hibiscus smiled, wiped the dirt on the fruit, and took out a stone knife to cut it on the fruit.

Xiaobai asked curiously, "Mom, what kind of fruit is this?" ”

Ye Hibiscus looked at Xiaobai and showed a pampering smile: "It's called cocoa, waiting for my mother to make something to eat for you." ”

Xiaobai said happily: "Thank you, Mom!" ”

Ye Hibiscus opened the fruit, and there were indeed white beans inside, and that layer of white was what they called something tasteful, and there was only a thin layer, and inside was cocoa fruit.

"You taste it." Ye Hibiscus peeled a few cocoa beans and fed them to Xiaobai.

"It's so sweet!" Xiaobai sucked Yun with relish, and then spit out a few brown beans, "Mom, are you roasting this to eat?" ”

Ye Jin smiled and shook his head, "Definitely." ”

Xiaobai tilted her head to look at her mother suspiciously, Ye Jin inadvertently said some words that were not available in this era, adults would feel weird, but for Xiaobai, who was still in the stage of understanding her own world, her mother just said words that she hadn't learned yet, and she would silently write them down and then use them in similar situations.

"This thing requires a lot of work, and I can't eat it for the time being." Ye Hibiscus said.

Xiaobai nodded, still thinking about the two words that her mother just said.

"Whew!" The leopard barked in the tree and did not hunt the cocoa fruit again.

The man who was picking up the fruit under the tree tacitly walked up to Ye Hibiscus, held five or six cocoa fruits in his arms, and asked, "Madam, is it enough?" ”

Ye Jin said: "Of course it's not enough, take it off!" ”

The man glanced at the tree, and the fruit was all knocked down by the leopard orcs, and some of them were out of shape.

When the leopard heard Hibiscus's words, he had already crawled up to the thin branches. The man thought for a while, then climbed the tree as well.

There are not many naturally grown cocoa trees, and only a dozen of them are all picked. In addition to this cocoa tree, there is a small one next to it, which only grows one fruit, and it is very large.

"Isn't that new?" Ye Hibiscus looked around.

She used to be very fond of chocolate, or rather, high-calorie foods she usually liked. Cocoa nuts are the raw material for making chocolate, and roasted cocoa beans are not easy to spoil anyway, so naturally you should take more back with you.

If you plant cocoa trees, it will take 10 or 8 years to bear fruit, and some will wait.
