After a simple meeting with the four of Iruka, Sean originally planned to spend some time to see his territory for real, but in the end he gave up on this idea and plunged into the land behind the lord's mansion. In the botanical garden on the hillside.
"My lord, the Green Field Botanical Garden started planning five years ago, and started construction three years ago. Now it has been completed. All planning is carried out according to the drawings given by the family. Among them, the most important ceremony is the foundation of the natural field of Wuzhen. Part of it has already been prepared.¡±
? Passing through the heavily fortified checkpoint, Iruka began to introduce the Green Field Botanical Garden to Sean.
"Your lord, you can see that the entire hillside belongs to the botanical garden, and a protective wall has been erected around it to prevent some wild animals from breaking in and destroying the precious plants inside."
With that said, Sean and Iruka officially entered the Green Field Botanical Garden.
"My lord, the entire green botanical garden is roughly divided into three parts, the foot of the mountain, the middle of the mountain, and the top of the mountain. Among them, the part of the foot of the mountain is mainly planted with fruit trees, both brought from the old continent and collected in the new world."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Sean was quite interested. As a natural wizard, he was naturally curious about new types of plants.
Looking at the surrounding fruit trees, besides the familiar apples, crispy pears, and coconuts, there are indeed several kinds that he does not know at all.
"Sir Iruka, what kind of fruit tree is that?"
It's summer now, and most of the fruit trees are not bearing fruit. As the only ones that bear fruit among the fruit trees that Sean doesn't know, three rather peculiar fruit trees caught Sean's attention.
"this¡¡"
Following Sean's gaze, Iruka suddenly felt a little embarrassed, because he didn't know this kind of plant, but it was normal, after all, he was in charge of the administration of Greenfield Town, not the specific things in the botanical garden. At that time, a lady who came down from the mountain solved his embarrassment.
Looking at the woman walking down the hill, Iruka's eyes lit up.
"Hayes, come here quickly."
Upon hearing the greeting, the woman cast her gaze over, and seeing that the person calling her was Iruka, she immediately quickened her pace.
"My lord, Hayes is one of the resident staff of the Green Field Arboretum, an outstanding graduate of the Ivy League Natural Sciences, and also a grantee of the Oak Foundation. She is far more familiar with this place than I am."
Hearing this, Sean had a general understanding of Hayes' identity. Ivy University is the only university in Yorkshire where the Montell family is located. It has a close relationship with the Montell family. Although it is not as good as Foster University, its natural science and history are at the top level in the country, and the Oak Foundation is the A student fund established by the Montel family, its main function is to subsidize poor civilian students and be responsible for their related expenses during their studies, and correspondingly these students need to work for the Montel family after graduation to repay their debts.
"Good day, Sir Iruka."
Walking over quickly, Hayes saluted Iruka as a lady. Although he didn't know Sean's identity, Hayes also saluted him.
"Hayes, let me introduce you. This is Sir Sean Montell, the lord of Greenfield Town."
Hearing Iruka's introduction, Hayes's water-blue eyes showed surprise. Although she knew that Sean should be a person of status, she never thought that Sean was the lord of Greenfield Town.
"Good day, my lord, please forgive my previous faux pas."
Unable to conceal the surprise in his heart, Hayes gave Xiao En a lady's salute again.
To be honest, by Sean's standards, Hayes is not beautiful. She has long flaxen-colored curly hair, aqua-blue eyes, unprotrusive facial features, and tiny freckles on her face, but she looks like she is saluting. Sean had to admit that this outstanding Ivy League graduate had an intellectual air about the standard Hayes who looked like a model.
"Hayes, Sir Iruka just told me that you are very familiar with this botanical garden, so could you please introduce this plant to me?"
Pointing to the three fruit trees bearing fruit, Sean said.
"My honor, Lord Lord."
Hayes naturally would not refuse Sean's simple request.
Having glanced at the plant Sean pointed at, Hayes said without hesitation:
"My lord, this plant is called Kesimi by the Cherokee people. It is one of their daily food sources. It has a not-so-hard shell on the outside and white granular nuts inside.?Like corn in a husk. "
Having said that, Hayes walked over and picked a fruit from the Cosago tree.
The size of the cosago fruit is about the same as that of corn, and the color of the husk is various, including cyan, yellow, and red, and the one in Hayes' hand is a red one.
Taking out a fruit knife from the pocket of the overalls, Hayes spun it around the middle of the fruit, and then gently broke it hard, the shell cracked, revealing the white flesh inside.
"My lord, please take a look."
After taking the cosago fruit from Hayes, Sean looked at the pulp protruding from the husk. Sure enough, as Hayes said, the pulp is like corn kernels one by one, except that it is bigger. Much higher, much fuller.
And looking at this kind of Keximi, Sean always felt that it was very similar to the cocoa fruit he had seen on TV in his previous life, but he was a little uncertain.
"My lord, you can try it. The pulp of Ke Simi is a bit sour, but it also has a sweet aftertaste. It's just that the pulp of Ke Simi is not much. There is only an outer layer, and the inside is a larger The core"
Seeing that Sean was very interested in Kesimi, Hayes took the opportunity to introduce the taste of Kesimi to Sean.
Hearing Hayes' words, Sean did not hesitate, and took out a corn kernel-like pulp and put it in his mouth.
In his previous life, Sean had never eaten cocoa fruit, so he didn't know if it tasted the same as cocoa fruit, but looking at the gray-black core in his hand, Sean felt that cocoa fruit and cocoa fruit were similar. If they are really similar species, then sago can be a good economic crop. After all, the chocolate made from cocoa in the previous life was sold all over the world.
"Hayes, what do you think of the plant Cosago?"
Hearing this, and looking at Sean who was still looking at the sago fruit in his hand, Hayes hesitated for a moment before expressing his true thoughts.
"My lord, according to my observations with two colleagues, although the plant sago has good damage resistance and environmental adaptability, its taste is average, and the pulp content is too low to be of great value."
After finishing speaking, Hayes breathed a sigh of relief when he secretly glanced at Sean and found that Sean's expression hadn't changed much.
"Well, Hayes, are the sago fruits ripe?"
Having said that, Sean's topic suddenly turned a corner.
In this regard, although Hayes was a little confused, he quickly gave an answer.
"My lord, these cosmic fruits are indeed ripe."
"Well, in this way, Hayes, you will lead someone to pick all these fruits later, ferment the pulp and core together, then dry them first, then bake them, and finally grind them. Do a few more experiments to see how the final results are. In the same way, if you encounter problems in manpower or material resources during this process, you can go to Sir Iruka and let him help you solve it."
Having said that, Sean set his sights on Iruka.
"No problem, my lord, I will provide Hayes with corresponding help."
Feeling Sean's gaze, Iruka made his promise. Through Sean's words just now, he has already felt that Sean attaches great importance to this matter.
After making corresponding arrangements, Sean stopped paying attention to Ke Simi. He still had other things to do. As for the final result, he didn't know. After all, he wasn't sure whether Ke Simi and Coco had similar characteristic. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
