Chapter 3911: cocoa

The child said: "This is not a wild fruit. If you don't know the things in the

mountains, where can you eat them indiscriminately."

Upon hearing this, Shui Yijun looked up at the big tree above his head: "I

don't even recognize what kind of tree this is."

The toddler smiled and said, "There are millions of flowers and plants in this

world, how can you recognize them."

"Do you recognize it?"

"If I don't recognize it, I won't run to pick the fruit in the middle of the

night."

Shui Yijun reached out and took out a palm-sized brown fruit, put it in his

mouth and took a bite, frowning: "It's hard."

The toddler laughed: "Fool, this is a shell, take a look at it."

According to Shui Yijun, the shell of the fruit was opened, revealing the

white cotton-like stuff inside.

He opened the white cotton wool, and inside were neatly arranged, nail-sized

beans.

"What's this again?" He squeezed out a bean and leaned under his nose to smell

it.

The toddler smiled and said, "Try it."

"Can you eat?"

"sure."

Shui Yijun put it to his mouth and took a bite, then frowned: "It's bitter."

The toddler was overjoyed: "Thank you for tasting it for me."

Shui Yijun was shocked: "Have you never eaten it yourself?"

"No, to be honest, it's the first time I even saw this thing." The child

smiled and said, "but don't be afraid. Although this thing is suffering now,

it is not harmful to the body."

"You haven't seen it before, why do you want to pick this?" Shui Yijun asked

in confusion, taking out his veil and wiping his mouth.

The toddler smiled and said, "Although I haven't seen it before, I have always

heard my mother talk about it. To tell you, I also tried my luck."

She touched the hard shell of the fruit, "My mother said, this is called the

cocoa tree, and the fruit it produces is called cocoa beans. This kind of tree

can only be found in the extremely hot south. I think we Piaoyun Village is

the southernmost place? Sure enough, I was lucky."

Shui Yijun smiled and said: "Your luck is also good enough. You just said this

is called cocoa beans? This tastes extremely bitter. You picked so many,

what's the use?"

"If you don't handle it well, it is naturally bitter. You will know what

deliciousness is when you make it into chocolate."

The toddler brought up a big bag of cocoa beans, "Let’s go back, before your

mother has found it. If she knows I abducted you here in the middle of the

night, she is afraid that she is going to kill me."

Shui Yijun followed: "Is your hometown in the north?"

"Yes."

"Where is your mother?"

"My mother is naturally the same as me."

"That said, your mother has never seen this cocoa tree."

"My mother is well-informed and knowledgeable. She is the smartest and most

knowledgeable person in the world. She can know it even if she hasn't seen it.

You see, I can only know because she told me."

Shui Yijun smiled and said, "Youyou bothered to pick this in the middle of the

night, just to make some chocolate? What is that?"

"A delicacy."

Toddlers are carrying their burdens and their feet are light.

She was extremely happy.

When she was young, she often heard her mother mention this kind of delicacy

called chocolate, and once asked her to make it for her, but the mother said

that without cocoa beans, she couldn't make chocolate.

The cocoa tree can only be found in a very remote place.

Toddlers feel that they are very lucky.

When she visited Yunvfeng last time, she had seen this kind of cocoa fruit

from a distance, and didn't think much about it at the time. It wasn't until

yesterday that she remembered that it was the cocoa tree that her mother had

been talking about.

Now is the time when the cocoa beans are ripe, and the tree full of fruit is

not picked.
