The Law of Food Raising - 19

Chapter 19 - The Red Guard and the Wine

After finishing the song, Xiu Yi took a deep breath, all the stagnation in his body disappeared, and his muscles and bones relaxed.

He originally had some suspicion that the natural plants in Kavos were related to Hua Duo, but now his suspicion has been confirmed.

"Duoduo," Xiu Yi squatted in front of her and said warmly, "I really want to take you to Beitu."

"You'd better never think about it." Samus' dangerous voice came from behind.

Xiu Yi ignored the pressure behind him, took Hua Duo's hand, placed a gentle kiss on the back of her hand, and then stood up slowly.

"Xiu Yi!" Samus teleported to Hua Duo and stared at him warningly.

"I have already said goodbye to Miss Duoduo. Your Excellency, I will see you later." Xiu Yi nodded slightly at Samus and walked away with his guqin in his arms.

"In the future, you are not allowed to see strange men alone without my company." Samus ordered as he wiped the back of Duoduo's hand that had been kissed just now.

Hua Duo nodded. She is not allowed to see strange men alone, so acquaintances don't matter, right? Xiu Yi is an acquaintance, so she can meet him. She came to this conclusion quickly.

Although Xiu Yi was a bit arrogant and unconventional, he kept his word and signed a covenant with Samus. He never betrayed him throughout his life. Even in the most difficult times, he always stood firm at Samus' side.

This year is destined to be a bumper harvest in Kavos. A large number of edible plants have matured, and with the reserves of nutrient solution, the grain depot is full.

However, two-thirds of the food is artificial food, and there are many harmful substances coming from the Royal City. Since it was decided to suppress the news for the time being, these foods cannot be disposed all at once and can only be done slowly.

The good news is that several natural plants cultivated by Hua Duo have been successful, and they can begin to promote planting on a small scale next year. In addition, she planted fifteen dragon fruit trees brought from the earth. They stand in rows like weeping willows, with thick roots and bright red fruits, adding a beautiful scenery to Courtyard No. 3.

【Dragon fruit, grade D, medium quality, good fecundity, rich nutritional value, suitable for consumption. Efficacy: purify the air, replenish qi and blood, whiten and lose weight, prevent and treat heavy metal poisoning, anti-aging. (There is a 12% chance of advancement). 】

Among them, the prevention and treatment of heavy metal poisoning is a unique effect of dragon fruit and is of extremely important significance. All people who have been poisoned by food in the Royal City have more or less mild signs of heavy metal poisoning. For example, the V14 element contained in green mushrooms can cause movement disorders, mental disorders, and in severe cases, suicidal tendencies; or the arsenic and arsenic poison contained in fire phoenix feathers can cause skin cancer, and is also contained in many cosmetics. 

Of course, if these toxins are not accumulated for a long time, they will not cause much harm, but they will have a certain impact on the growth of children.

Compared with the general detoxification effect of the golden ball, the dragon fruit is more targeted. It's just that the aura of dragon fruit is acquired, and it is not as good as the native plants of Thuran, and the chance of advancement is also very low.

But despite this, the appearance of dragon fruit is also a big surprise for Samus and others. By long-term consumption of natural plants cultivated by Duoduo, the day when everyone in Kavos will be pink and healthy is just around the corner.

The weather was getting colder, and many plants were about to enter the dormant period, but Hua Duo didn't want to waste time. She took a fancy to a cold-season plant, the red myrtle, which is somewhat similar to the earth's plum blossoms* and is an E-class ornamental plant.

*Plum Blossom - A symbol that spring is coming

The mutated red myrtle emits a strong aroma that can make people dizzy and dizzy, as if they were drunk. In order to cultivate it, Hua Duo had to wear a gas mask, otherwise its aroma would make her faint immediately.

Samus and the others don’t pay much attention to ornamental plants. Compared with food and medicinal purposes, ornamental plants are dispensable. But they don’t know that ornamental plants play an extremely important role, which is to improve soil quality. An ornamental plant can increase the growth rate and maturity rate of plants within a certain range, and its ability to purify the air is more powerful than other plants.

Hua Duo planted a red myrtle tree in No. 1, 2, and 3 courtyards, nourished it with spiritual energy every day, and slowly waited for them to grow. The growth time of red myrtle is relatively long, and it will not bloom until at least next year. But as long as they grow up, even if they haven't reached the flowering stage yet, they can gradually improve the environment.

Hua Duo finished her work and returned to her residence covered in dirt, intending to take a good bath. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Samus. He was sitting next to the window, his right hand holding his left wrist tightly, his back hunched, his expression ferocious, as if he was enduring great pain.

Hua Duo hurriedly ran over and found that the parasitic vines under his skin had turned blue-gray, like bulging veins.

Hua Duo looked at Samus with a worried expression.

Samus gritted his teeth and explained: "The parasitic vine becomes stiff in the cold season, and it also makes my muscles stiff. The slightest movement will affect the nerves and cause pain all over my body."

Is there no way to solve it? Hua Duo stroked Samus' arm with her hand, and her white fingers formed a strong contrast with the wheat-colored skin.

Samus' eyes flashed slightly, and the pain seemed to weaken a bit.

Hua Duo thought for a while, cold would make the parasitic vine stiff, so if heat is added, would it soften it?

Her eyes lit up, she turned around and ran towards the cellar. There are many cellars built under the lord's mansion, which are usually used to store food. Hua Duo made more than a dozen bottles of fruit wine from grapes a while ago, and it should be ready to drink now. Her wine-making skills were learned from a monkey a long time ago. The monkey brother was very intelligent. Unfortunately, he was not as lucky as herself to receive the inheritance from his elders and practice smoothly. He relied on his own exploration for practice, and finally lived to be 100 years old. 

Hua Duo quickly fetched a bottle of wine, handed it to Samus, and motioned for him to try it.

Samus opened the cork and immediately smelled a refreshing aroma of wine.

"Is this... wine?" A trace of surprise flashed across Samus' face. Wine is a luxury product for the Kavos people. Even in the Royal City, not everyone has the opportunity to taste it.

Most of the artificially cultivated plants are not suitable for brewing. Even if they are brewed reluctantly, the taste will be dry and bland, making it difficult to drink.

But the aroma and color of the bottle of fruit wine in his hand made people intoxicated.

Samus couldn't help but take a sip. The fruity aroma was mellow, the taste was delicate, the sweetness and sourness were a bit astringent, the tip of his tongue was numb, and it slid into his throat, turning into a warm current and integrating into his body.

Samus took a few more sips, the cold air was gradually dissipated, and the protruding parasitic vines slowly disappeared under the skin.

Hua Duo touched it in surprise, her eyes curved into a pair of crescent moons.

"Duoduo, you are really my baby." Samus hugged her hard and pecked her lips a few times. The pecks turned into deep kisses, and they didn't want to let go.

B*stard, start sucking her energy again! Can we still get along well with each other? Hua Duo bit him hard, but it didn't hurt or itch him, and he slowly rubbed it on her lips.

It would be better for him to stay frozen... Hua Duo thought with a dying breath.

After a long while, Samus reluctantly let go of her and said a little depressed: "Duoduo, grow up quickly. I don't know if I have enough determination to wait until you become an adult." In front of Duoduo, He always felt that he had a tendency to transform into an animal.

Hua Duo got out of his arms, but her waist was still surrounded by a big arm.

"Ahem." There was a slight cough from the door, and Wei Chen said calmly, "Sir, Guze asked me to deliver medicine to you, but now it seems that you are fine."

Samus leaned on the chair, played with Hua Duo's hair with his fingers, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"There is news about the Royal City, Chi Xiao, please come over and discuss it."

"Yes, I understand." Samus stood up and told Hua Duo, "I'm going to a meeting. Let's have dinner together when I come back."

Hua Duo waved her hands impatiently.

Looking at Samus' affection for Duoduo, Wei Chen knew that Duoduo might not be able to escape from Samus' "clutch" in this life. The poor child was forcibly settled before she can grow, and she will never even have a chance to fall in love in the future. She'd better fall in love with Samus, or else...

Wei Chen unconsciously became worried. Samus is not a soft-hearted person, and he will not let go once he is determined.

Hua Duo looked at Wei Chen strangely. What was going on with that sympathetic look on his face?

Samus glared at Wei Chen and walked towards the conference room carrying the bottle of wine.

So in this meeting, the subordinates watched their lord enjoying the wine and listening to the report leisurely, completely ignoring the hungry eyes of everyone.

Finally, someone couldn't help but asked: "Sir, are you drinking?"

"Hmm." Samus took another elegant sip.

"Can I..."

"Bai Dong, have you successfully developed your new weapon?" Samus asked.

 "……not yet."

"The progress is too slow. The world will soon be turbulent. We must race against time to prepare for war." Samus said with a serious face.

"..." In order to prevent him from having the opportunity to ask for a drink, you are so shameless! Can you still be loyal?

The others also had strange expressions, as if they were constipated. Because they also wanted to ask for a drink, but they would probably be caught and whipped severely like Bai Dong.

At this time, Chi Xiao spoke: "Wei Chen, I want to visit Miss Duoduo tonight, please let me know in advance."

"Oh, I also want to visit Miss Dodo tomorrow."

"Me too, let's meet tomorrow."

"Oh, long time no see, I really miss you."

"Let's go together."

Samus' face turned dark. What kind of subordinates are these? How dare they challenge him blatantly!

He put the wine bottle on the conference table and said, "Okay, I don't know how much wine Duoduo has brewed. If there is any surplus, I will give some to you."

"Oh, Sir, you are so wise!" The conference room immediately resounded with compliments.

Samus: "..."

That night, Samus told Hua Duo about the incident and asked her how many bottles of wine she had made.

Hua Duo stretched out both hands and made a "fifteen" gesture.

"Well, let's get a bottle for them to try tomorrow." There were only fifteen bottles, and Samus couldn't bear to part with one.

Of course Hua Duo would not have any objections. Wine making was just a hobby, and she didn't like drinking it very much.

The next day, Samus brought the wine into the conference room and said without changing his expression: "Duoduo only made three or four bottles, so everyone can just take a sip."

When I said I wanted to take a bite, it turned out to be just one bite. A bottle of wine, each person only got a small half glass.

The smell is simply irresistible. Oh my God, it’s better not to drink it! I will miss you till I die!

I really want to ask for support, but I wonder if Miss Duoduo is in need of loyal servants?
