Chapter 7

After a simple meeting with iluka, Sean originally planned to spend some time to really see his territory, but finally he gave up the idea and plunged into the botanical garden on the hillside behind the Lord's house.

"Lord, LVYE botanical garden was planned five years ago and built three years ago. Now it has been built. All the plans are carried out according to the drawings given by the family, and the most important ceremony, the basic part of the natural field of the witch array, has been prepared."

Walking through the heavily guarded checkpoints, iruka began to introduce Sean to the green botanical garden.

"Lord, you see, the whole hillside belongs to the botanical garden. Protective walls have been erected around it to prevent some wild animals from breaking in and damaging the precious plants inside."

With that, Sean and iluka officially entered the LVYE botanical garden.

"Lord, the whole green botanical garden is roughly divided into three parts: the foot of the mountain, the hillside and the top of the mountain. The fruit trees at the foot of the mountain are mainly planted, both those we brought from the old world and those we collected in the new world."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Sean was very interested. As a nature wizard, he was curious about new plants.

Looking at the surrounding fruit trees, in addition to the apples, crisp pears and coconut he knows, there are indeed several kinds he doesn't know at all.

"Sir iruka, what is that fruit tree?"

It's summer now, and most fruit trees don't bear fruit. As the only fruit tree that Sean doesn't know, three rather strange fruit trees have attracted Sean's attention.

"This..."

Following Sean's eyes, iluka immediately felt a little embarrassed because he didn't know this plant, but it was normal. After all, he was in charge of the administration of LVYE town and wasn't responsible for the specific things in the botanical garden. Fortunately, a woman who came down from the mountain solved his embarrassment at this time.

Looking at the woman walking down the hillside, iluka's eyes lit up.

"Hayes, come here."

When she heard the greeting, the woman cast her eyes. When she saw that the person calling her was iluka, she immediately accelerated her steps.

"Lord, Hayes is one of the permanent staff of LVYE botanical garden, an outstanding graduate of natural science from Ivy League university, and also a funding object of oak foundation. She is much more familiar with here than I am."

Hearing this, Sean got a general idea of Hayes's identity. Ivy League university is the only university in Yorkshire where the Monterey family is located. It has a close relationship with the Monterey family. Although it is not comparable to foster university, its natural science and history are at the top level in the country. The oak foundation is a student fund established by the Monterey family, which is mainly used to fund poor civilian students, They are responsible for the relevant expenses during their study, while the corresponding students need to work for the Montel family and repay their debts after graduation.

"Good day, sir iluka."

Quickly walked over, Hayes saluted iluka. Although he didn't know Sean's identity, Hayes also saluted him.

"Hayes, let me introduce you to Sir Sean Montell, Lord of Greenfield."

Hearing iluka's introduction, heith's water blue eyes showed a surprised look. Although she had known that Sean should be a person of status, she didn't expect that Sean was the Lord of LVYE town.

"Good day, Lord, please forgive my previous rudeness."

Unable to hide his surprise, Hayes made a lady salute to Sean again.

To tell the truth, according to Sean's standards, Hayes is not beautiful. She has flaxen curly long hair, aqua blue pupils, non prominent facial features, and small freckles on her face. However, looking at Hayes whose salute standard is like a mold, Sean has to admit that the excellent graduate of Ivy League University has an intellectual breath.

"Hayes, sir iluka just told me that you are very familiar with this botanical garden, so would you please introduce this plant to me?"

Pointing to the three fruit trees with fruit, Sean said.

"My pleasure, Lord."

Hayes would not refuse Sean's simple request.

After glancing at the plant Sean pointed to, Hayes said without hesitation:

"Lord, this plant is called kosimi by Cherokee. It is one of their daily food sources. There is a layer of not hard shell on the outside and white granular nuts on the inside, just like corn wrapped with a shell."

With that, Hayes went over and picked a fruit from the cosimi tree.

But the size of sago fruit is about the same as that of corn. The shell has a variety of colors, including cyan, yellow and red, while Hayes has a red one in his hand.

He took out a fruit knife from the pocket of his overalls. After Hayes spun around the middle part of the fruit, he broke it gently. The shell cracked and exposed the white pulp inside.

"Lord, please look."

He took the cosimi fruit from Hayes. Sean looked at the pulp exposed from the shell. As Hayes said, the pulp was like corn grain by grain, but it was much larger and fuller.

Looking at this kind of cosimi, Sean always felt that it was like the cocoa fruit he had seen on TV in his previous life, but he was a little uncertain.

"Lord, you can have a taste. But the flesh of kosimi tastes sour, but there is also a sweet return. However, kosimi doesn't have much flesh, only one layer on the outside, and the larger core is wrapped inside."

Seeing that Sean was very interested in cosimi, Hayes introduced the taste of cosimi to Sean.

Hearing Hayes' words, Sean did not hesitate. He took out a corn like pulp and put it into his mouth.

Sean hasn't eaten cocoa fruit in his previous life, so he doesn't know whether it tastes like cosimi, but looking at the gray black core in his hand, Sean feels that cosimi and cocoa fruit are similar. If they are really similar species, cosimi can become a good cash crop, After all, chocolates made from cocoa in previous lives are sold all over the world.

"Hayes, what do you think of cosimi?"

Hearing this, he looked at Sean, who was still looking at the cosimi fruit in his hand. After hesitating for a while, Hayes still said his real thoughts.

"Lord, according to the observation of my two colleagues and I, although the plant has good resistance and environmental adaptability, it has a general taste, and the pulp content is too low to have much value."

Having said that, he looked at Sean quietly and found that Sean's look had not changed. Haith was relieved.

"Well, Hayes, are these cosimi fruits ripe?"

With that, Sean's topic suddenly turned a corner.

In this regard, although Hayes was a little confused, he quickly gave the answer.

"Lord, these kosimi fruits are indeed ripe."

"Well, heith, you can take people to pick all these fruits later, ferment the pulp and core together, then dry them and bake them, and finally polish them. Do more experiments to see the final results. If you encounter human or material problems in this process, you can find Sir iluka and ask him to help you."

With that, Sean turned his eyes to iluka.

"No problem, Lord. I'll provide Hayes with corresponding help."

Feeling Sean's eyes, iluka gave his commitment. Through Sean's words just now, he has felt Sean's attention to this matter.

After making corresponding arrangements, Sean no longer pays more attention to cosimi. He has other things to do. He doesn't know the final result. After all, he's not sure whether cosimi and cocoa have similar characteristics.
