Chapter 968

Then, the villagers brought them some fruits. Most of them were very happy when their eyes lingered on the car.

Fu Xitang exchanged greetings with the patriarch here, and then explained his intention.

He had bought cocoa and coffee fruit once last time, so this time he was familiar with the road and both sides soon reached an agreement.

The patriarch took people to count the things Fu Xitang had brought, including cloth, farm tools and seeds they needed most. In addition, there were pottery pots, large iron pots, spoons and other household goods.

These are very common things in DAHAO, but they are like treasures here. They are warmly welcomed by the villagers.

Shen Zhou didn't know what he said to the patriarch. The patriarch happily raised his arm and began to turn around, which seemed to be a way for them to express their excitement.

Xu Qing knew that when Fu Xitang was at the Zhoujia wharf, he came here to exchange cocoa, but he bought a lot of grain. It was a local grain, and it was said that people here also loved it very much.

However, Fu Xitang has not unloaded the thousands of Jin of grain from the ship. Today, he only brought these supplies.

After the car was unloaded, the patriarch took them to the place where the cocoa tree grew.

Now this season, cocoa fruit has matured, cocoa tree trunk full of fruit, hand can pick.

The patriarch went to talk to his own people, and then bursts of excited and happy "roar" began to ring one after another.

Fu Xitang came to Xu Qing and said, "we have made an agreement with the patriarch. We can pick as many cocoa as we can. I also bothered these local people to help us pick fruit. The reward is one jin of millet per person every day."

Xu Qing: "are there many cocoa trees here? If we all pick them, what will they eat?"

Fu Xitang: "they are willing to exchange these for our millet. After all, cocoa is not delicious. I've seen it before. There are cocoa trees all over the mountains. I can know dozens of acres. If you want to remove all of them, we can't take so many."

Xu Qing was relieved: "that's OK."

Fu Xitang: "cocoa is not their main food, and there is no shortage of food here all year round. I've asked someone to teach them to cultivate land, but I don't know if we can keep our food here."

Xu Qing: I'm afraid it's difficult.

Fu Xitang: "it's still very dangerous in the woods. Local people have more experience than us. Let them lead the way first. Our people are mainly responsible for taking and drying beans."

Xu Qing: "there is no bamboo here. What do we use to sun?"

Fu Xitang: "just spread it on the board. I'll cut down some trees and make some boards later."

Shen Zhou held his chest in both hands and asked Xu Qing curiously, "what do you want these beans for? They are not delicious."

Xu Qing: "I want to use it to make a sweet food."

Shen Zhou: "delicious?"

Fu Xitang: "not so good, but after making cakes, it has a different flavor."

Shen Zhou nodded that he knew. It seems that Fu Xitang doesn't like this either.

Xu Qing would like to say that it was the first time that she did not do it well, but it's not as good as later.

Everyone was very busy. The local people went to pick the ripe cocoa, while the crew carried the cocoa back to the village, and then Xu Qing peeled the cocoa beans.

The cocoa beans just taken out are spread on the banana leaves and exposed to the hot sun. When the boards are assembled by Shen Zhou, they can be spread on the boards to dry.

Xu Qing is sitting under the grass shed peeling cocoa beans. Li Changting, who is next to him, cuts open the fruit and digs out the pulp and throws it in front of Xu Qing. Xu Qing peels off the pulp and takes out the beans. When the number of beans in the basket reaches a certain level, Duanmu Xiang takes them to the sun.

Other people work together as Xu Qing and Li Changting do. The freshly peeled beans are quite wet, but Xu Qing knows that after being exposed to the sun, the moisture will be dried and the weight will be reduced by at least half.

It seems that there are only cocoa trees here. The coffee beans Fu Xitang wants are in another place, far away from here. It's too troublesome to pick them in person. He can only buy them from others. Although the price is higher, it's easy.

Further south in this sea area, you can find a sea merchant who specializes in reselling some fruits, nuts and medicinal materials. The last time Fu Xitang bought the coffee fruit, he bought it from him, but this time Fu Xitang still needs a batch of adult coffee trees, so he has to let the other party prepare it.

Fu Xitang didn't take the boat by himself. Instead, he handed it over to his younger brother Fu Wenhan. Fu Wenhan has experience and is close to him, so it's no problem to take the boat by himself.

The reason why this family didn't go was to stick to Shen Zhou.

Shen Zhou did what he did, and he didn't dare to disturb others. For fear of being hated, he followed him eagerly.

The more Xu Qing saw it, the more he understood it, but he sighed for Fu Lao. It seemed that his wish to have a grandson could not be realized.

Not to mention Xu Qing, even Duanmu Xiang felt that Fu Xitang in front of him was too lame. He didn't like the Fu Xitang he had known before.Xu Qing thought of a sentence Fu Xitang had said before, he likes the other party, but the other party does not like him how to do.

She thought about it. Looking at Shen Zhou's appearance, she obviously knew that Fu Xitang was interested in him. When they first came here, Shen Zhou was still working barehanded, but these days he was wearing a short fight and didn't even show his arms.

It's more like I'm sorry.

If Shen Zhou really doesn't feel for Fu Xitang, Fu Xitang's wandering around him is just like a disgusting fly to him. However, he doesn't swat the fly to death with a slap. On the contrary, he connives at the other party's buzzing in his ear. If he doesn't like it, Xu Qing will eat the cocoa raw in his hand!

Xu Qing asked Duanmu Xiang, "if a woman you don't like pursues you and walks around you all day, what's your mood? It's boring. I want to slap her to death. "

Duanmu Rang "ah", a face that otherwise.

Xu Qing: "if you look at Fu Xitang and Shen Zhou again, you can see the way they get along with each other."

Duanmu ring looked at him suspiciously, "what's wrong with these two people?"

After staring at him for a while, he saw Fu Xitang wiping Shen Zhou's sweat with a handkerchief. Shen Zhou ignored him and gave him a happy expression.

Duanmu ring gradually narrowed his eyes, and then whispered a sound, the whole person seemed to be through Ren Du two pulse, a face suddenly realized.

"No wonder..." Duanmu ring touches his chin. Fu Xitang is not married at such an old age. It's very strange. It's because he likes men.

"It's silly. I can see it now. I'll know it the next day!" Xu Qing looks at such Duanmu ring, and suddenly has a sense of superiority in intelligence.
