Chapter 333: It Looks Like Cocoa Fruit

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The people sent out to explore the area did not disappoint them. They finally found Bai Wutong’s ideal residence.

It was a place with endless coastline and surrounded by forests, mountains, and plains, wetlands, and mangrove forests. If a city was built there, it would be easy to defend and difficult to attack. Not only would it be much better than the current location of Baye City, but they could also find a lot of food to replenish their supplies.

When Bai Wutong received the news, she immediately sent word for everyone to quickly pack up and set off.

It was good for the army to be separated from the commoners. The surroundings of Baye City were empty, and it was very suitable for training troops.

When they had enough supplies to provide to Baye City, it would also be orderly.

You Huaijie wanted to bring the commoners to another place to settle down. Gu Liancheng ran to Gu Chilie anxiously. Gu Chilie saw her gesturing and did not understand what she meant for a moment.

Meng Weiwei, who had become Gu Liancheng’s maidservant, explained to Marshal Gu on her behalf, ‘Miss wants to say that Duke Ling and the others are going to move elsewhere.

Gu Chilie frowned. “Move elsewhere?” You Huaijie actually made his own decision without discussing it with him. How ridiculous!

As soon as he stood up, Gu Liancheng, who was afraid that Chu Tianbao would be bewitched by Bai Wutong after leaving with her and never regain his memories, grabbed Gu Chilie’s sleeve and pulled him quickly to stop Chu Tianbao.

“Sss

Gu Chilie rode his ferghana horse to the front of the team and shouted at You Huaijie, “Where are you going?”

You Huaijie replied unhurriedly, “We are going to a suitable place for the people to live in peace.”

Gu Chilie said angrily, ‘The terrain of the southern frontier is complicated. How can you take so many commoners’ lives lightly?”

You Huaijie looked at him indifferently and said, “I will definitely be able to settle the commoners down.”

” ..You don’t plan to bring my soldiers?” Gu Chilie was shocked.

You Huaijie said righteously, “1 gave the Marshal enough tapioca. Moreover, the terrain of Baye City is vast and is very suitable for Marshal Gu to train his troops. It can also prevent the soldiers from becoming impetuous and lose their discipline. There’s no need for you to do anything unnecessary.”

Previously, it was fine without women. Now that the team was here, the soldiers kept wanting to leave and find an opportunity to flirt with women.

It was obvious that he wanted to leave them behind. He even found a dignified excuse. Marshal Gu was so angry that he was about to emit smoke.

“Then where exactly are you going?”

You Huaijie had never been there before. In any case, it was a place approved by Bai Wutong, so there was definitely no problem. He said to Gu Chilie, “You’ll know at a glance once you follow us.”

Since Gu Chilie could not stop them, he could only follow them first.

If the place was not good, You Huaijie would bring the people back himself.

It took the entire team less than half a day to travel.

When the sun set, everyone finally arrived at this ideal place.

There was the endless sea, the golden beach, and the layers of turquoise seawater. The gorgeous afterglow shone on the sea surface, stirring one’s heart.

It was too beautiful!

Bai Wutong fell in love with the place at a glance.

In an instant, she thought of countless delicacies.

Seafood sashimi, lobster and abalone, oyster, squid, crab, scallops, cod and tuna... They could eat these soon.

Counting the time since the apocalypse and her transmigration here, Bai Wutong had not eaten seafood for several years.

Seafood contains a variety of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality proteins that are good for the brain nerves and retinal development of the fetus.

They could arrange it immediately!

Everyone had not seen the sea before. They were intoxicated for a long time and were extremely satisfied with this place.

Gu Chilie looked around. He had to admit that this place was very suitable for everyone to live in.

It was near the mountains and seas, and there was flat ground to build houses

The red soil beside it could be burned into bricks, the stones on the mountain could be used for construction, and the wood of the forest could be used to build houses.

No matter how one looked at it, it was much better than Baye City.

He couldn’t say anything to stop You Huaijie and the others from settling down here.

He even felt a little sad. Why hadn’t he found such a good place when he sent people out previously?

At a glance, Bai Wutong knew that there was a lot of seafood hidden on the reef on the right. While she was in a hurry to go to the seaside to take a walk,

Stinky and a group of children each held a big red fruit in front of her. “Mother, Mother, look

They raised their hands with smiles on their faces, wanting to please Bai Wutong.

Bai Wutong took the fruit from Stinky’s hand and looked at it carefully. She suddenly frowned. Stinky poked with his finger and asked worriedly, “Mother, can’t we eat it?”

Little Cat had already cut it open just now. After removing the skin, there was nothing delicious inside. “It shouldn’t be edible.”

Stinky immediately looked disappointed. He wanted to share it with his mother.

However, Bai Wutong picked up the fruit and looked at it a few times. She muttered, “This looks like cocoa fruit.”

Cocoa fruits were the ingredients for making chocolate. She had never seen real chocolate fruits before, but there were many tutorials on making chocolate online. She also liked to eat chocolate, so she had an impression of them.

But she wasn’t sure. After all, this thing looked quite similar to papayas.

She asked Chu Tianbao to hand her a small knife and cut open the fruit in front of the children.

Inside were densely packed small seeds. They felt sticky. Everyone was filled with anticipation and were greatly disappointed.

Even if it could be eaten, it didn’t look delicious.

Chu Tianbao was afraid that Bai Wutong wanted to try this fruit of unknown origin, so he sent someone to call over Wen Renhua and Gu Zhongxun.

This was the first time Wen Renhua had seen such a strange fruit.

He pinched a seed and tasted the white pulp wrapped around it. It was a little sour and sweet. It was smooth and had an indescribable strange texture.

However , he could roughly determine that it was not poisonous.

When Bai Wutong saw the seeds inside, she could basically confirm that this thing was the cocoa fruit.

With cocoa fruits, one could make smooth chocolate.

Bai Wutong was very excited. She smiled at Stinky and said, “I’ve seen this fruit in books, but it needs to be processed before it can be eaten.”

Everyone was stunned. What would such a sticky thing be after it was processed?

However, since Madam Bai said that this could be eaten, it should not be bad, right?

Sheng Huaixuan asked with even greater interest, “How do we process it?”

Bai Wutong remembered that this thing needed to be fermented for a week. It could not be opened halfway. When it was fermented, water would come out, so they had to choose a container that could filter out water.

After fermenting for 25 degrees celsius for seven days, they would pour out the cocoa fruits and suck the water dry. Then, they would bake them. After removing the outer shell, they would be able to obtain the cocoa beans for making chocolate.

After obtaining the cocoa beans, one could chew them and add sugar to solidify them to make chocolate.

It was fine if there was no sugar added, but the chocolate would taste bitter. It would be still be good for making cake or dessert.

Bai Wutong said to Sheng Huaixuan, “It’s a little complicated, but not too complicated.”

Everyone still had to settle down. It would take some time to make such a delicate thing.

Bai Wutong said to Little Cat, “Bring your younger siblings to pick cocoa fruits. Madam will teach you how to make delicious food, okay?”

After the children picked the fruits back, everyone would take the time to help process them. Before the fermentation was done, they would build a fire cellar so that the children could eat the fruits of their labor.

Little Cat nodded like an adult. “l promise to complete the mission..”
