Novel Full Chapter 1163: Chocolate
Yu Dong had seen these red fruits in her world. If she was not wrong then these fruits were guarana! She had read on the internet that these fruits were later used in place of caffeine to make chocolate, coffee powder, syrup and chewing gum. But where did Xiao Hua find these fruits? These fruits were after all not native to where they lived.
” These?” Xiao Hua turned to look at the red fruits and then pushed himself off the bed before replying, ” These were brought by Sun Jie, he told me that these taste like candy and he ate a lot of these when he was young. I don’t know where he found these but since he gave them to me, I took it.”
He paused and asked, ” Is there something wrong with it? If there is then you need to tell Sun Jie to not eat these anymore. Maybe it will be better if you take him to the doctor, if he had eaten these for a long time then it might become troublesome.”
Xiao Hua was not blaming Sun Jie for bringing something dangerous to him but he was genuinely worried about Sun Jie. What if these fruits were dangerous? Wouldn’t it harm Sun Jie?
” Oh no, they are not dangerous,” Yu Dong shook her head, she walked up to the cabinet where the fruits were sitting and picked one guarana from the table’s surface before taking a closer look at it.
Since she had never seen it before in real life, she was not sure if this was the right fruit or not but as she peeled the fruit and saw the white pulp with brown seed, she knew that it was indeed guarana!
Yu Dong’s eyes flickered as she looked at the guarana fruit, she had indeed thought of looking for cocoa seeds as she always wanted to taste coffee and chocolate, something she could not do in the apocalypse world as most of the resources had mutated in that world.
However, she never found any source of cocoa seeds in this world, which made her believe that those fruits were indeed not native to this land. She never thought that she would one day find something closely related to cocoa seeds! Experience more tales on M V L
With these, she would be able to make chocolate and coffee with ease!
When Xiao Hua heard that the fruits were not dangerous, he heaved a sigh of relief. He then asked, “Then is it something good?”
Yu Dong turned to look at him and mysteriously smiled before saying, “It’s indeed a good thing. Who would have thought that I would get something so good after facing a tragedy like that huh?”
To think that she could finally eat chocolate cakes and bars!
Just the very thought was enough to make Yu Dong’s heart filled with happiness! What was happiness? It was the joy of eating sweets!
Seeing the expression on Yu Dong’s face Xiao Hua was a bit curious about what good things could be made with the red fruits but unfortunately for him, Yu Dong refused to tell him anything.
” It’s a secret,” she said before running out of his house which left him furious as well as curious. In fact, if he was not curious he would have totally ignored Yu Dong! The curiosity was killing him and he knew that Yu Dong did it deliberately because she wanted to punish him for ignoring her.
Yu Dong indeed wanted to teach Xiao Hua a lesson. He had ignored her for more than three days, she was not going to slide that off easily. Yu Dong returned home with a joyful expression on her face, when the mers saw that Yu Dong was smiling they could not help but glance at one another.
Was there something else that happened today? Why was Yu Dong humming so happily?
Chen Mi who was sitting on the floor with Yu Jin looked up at Yu Dong and asked while wiping the toys with which Yu Jin was playing, ” Did something good happen, wife? Ack—-” he grimaced when he saw Yu Jin nibbling on the wooden block once more, ” How many times have I told you that you should not nibble on this.”
Yu Jin was growing up and now that he was one year old, his teeth were coming out as well. Compared to girls and boys whose teeth popped out at the age of seven or eight months, Yu Jin was a bit slower as he was a mer.
” Wah…” Yu Jin let out a cry when he saw that Chen Mi had taken away the building block again. He stretched out his lotus roots like hands and tried to take away the block from Chen Mi but couldn’t.
Seeing Yu Jin make a fuss, Yu Dong took out a small teething ring from her space and handed it to Chen Mi. She said, ” Here wash it with warm water and then hand it to him, it’s better than the wooden block.”
Chen Mi also heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Yu Dong had given him an alternative. His son was getting on his last nerve as he seemed to have started to nibble on everything from his finger, to his spoon and his toys.
If he was not worried about his son’s teeth growing crooked and him becoming an ugly ghost, see if he would have cared about him.
He took the teething ring to the kitchen while Ye Liu turned to Yu Dong and asked, ” But you still haven’t told us what happened today? Why are you humming?”
Yu Dong grinned widely upon hearing his question. She then turned to look at Sun Jie who was playing with Fang Chi, Yu Mai and Bobo before saying, “Well something did happen today and it is all thanks to Little Jie, if he hadn’t brought these guaranas with him then we would have never known that these fruits grew here.”
As she spoke she showed the red fruits to her husbands who frowned upon seeing the red wild fruits, what kind of treasure were these fruits that made Yu Dong so happy?
