Chapter 7 The Botanical Garden

After a simple meeting with the four leaders, Sean originally planned to spend some time seeing his realm in real life, but in the end, he gave up this idea and plunged into the back of the lord's mansion. In the botanical garden on the hillside.

"Lord Lord, the Green Field Botanical Garden began planning five years ago, and construction began three years ago. Now it has been completed. All planning is carried out per the drawings given by the family. Among them, the most important ritual is the foundation of the natural field. Part of it is also ready." After passing the tightly guarded checkpoint, Iluka began to introduce Sean to the Wild Botanical Garden.

"Lord Lord, you see that this entire hillside belongs to the botanical garden, and protective walls have been erected around it is to prevent some wild animals from breaking in and destroying the precious plants inside." As that was said, Sean and Iluka formally stepped forward and entered the Green Field Botanical Garden.

"Lord Lord, the entire Botanical Garden is roughly divided into three parts, the foot of the mountain, the mountainside, and the top of the mountain. Among them, the foot of the mountain is mainly planted with fruit trees, both of which we brought from the Old World, and was collected in the New World.

" Huh?"

After hearing this, Sean was quite interested. As a natural wizard, he was curious about new plants. Looking at the surrounding fruit trees, besides the apples, crispy pears, and coconuts he knew, there were indeed several other trees that he didn't even recognize.

"Sir Iluka, what is that kind of fruit tree?"

It's summer, and most fruit trees don't bear fruit. As the only fruit-bearing existence among the fruit trees that Sean doesn't know, three quite peculiar fruit trees have attracted Sean's attention.

"this..."

Following Sean's gaze, Iluka suddenly felt a little embarrassed because he did not know this plant, but it was normal. After all, he was in charge of the administration of Luye Town and was not responsible for the specific things in the botanical garden. Fortunately, At this time, a lady came down from the mountain resolved his embarrassment.

Looking at the woman walking down the hillside, Iluka's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hays, come here quickly."

Upon hearing the greeting, the woman cast her gaze, and after seeing that the person calling her was Iluka, she immediately quickened her pace.

"Lord Lord, Hayes is one of the resident staff of the Green Field Botanical Garden, an outstanding graduate of natural science from Ivy League University, and is also a funding object of the Oak Foundation. She is far more familiar with this place than I am."

Hearing this, Sean roughly understands the identity of Hayes. Ivy League University is the only university in Yorkshire where the Montelle family is located. It is closely related to the Montelle family. Although it is not as good as Foster University, its natural sciences and history are at the top level in the country. The main role of a student fund established by the Er family is to subsidize poor civilian students and be responsible for their related expenses during their studies. The corresponding students need to work for the Montelle family and repay debts after graduation.

"Good day, Sir Iluka." Walking over quickly, Hayes bowed a lady's salute to Iluka. Although he did not know Sean's identity, Hayes also bowed to him.

"Hayes, let me introduce you. This is Sir Sean Montelle, the lord of Greenfield Town."

Hearing Iluka's introduction, Hayes' blue eyes were surprised, although she had known that Sean should be a person with status, she did not expect that Sean would be the lord of Greenfield Town.

"Good day, Lord Lord, please forgive me for my previous impoliteness."

Unable to hide the surprise in her heart, Hayes once again gave Sean a lady's salute.

To be honest, Hayes is not pretty by Sean's standards, with long flaxen hair, slightly curly hair, aqua-blue eyes, unobtrusive facial features, and small freckles on her face, but she looks studious. The intellectual look that Hayes carried made Sean admit that this outstanding Ivy League graduate has a beautiful intellectual atmosphere.

"Hays, Sir Iluka just told me that you are very familiar with this botanical garden, so could you please introduce this plant to me?"

Shawn said, pointing to the three fruit trees that bear fruit.

"My honor, Lord Lord."

Hayes would naturally not refuse this simple request from Sean. She glanced at the plant that Sean pointed to, and explained what she knew, Hayes spoke without hesitation:

"Lord Lord, this plant is called kosimi by the Cherokee. It is one of their daily food sources. There is a shell that is not too hard, and the inside is white granular nuts, just like corn covered with a shell."

As she said, Hayes walked over and picked a fruit from the kosimi tree.

The size of the kosimi fruit is about the same as that of corn, and the color of the shell varies from cyan, yellow, and red, while the one in Hays's hand is red. Taking a fruit knife out of the pocket of her work clothes, Hayes twisted it around the middle of the fruit, and then pressed it gently. The shell cracked, revealing the white flesh inside.

"Lord Lord, please take a look." Taking the kosimi fruit from Hays, Sean looked at the pulp that emerged from the shell. As expected, the pulp was like Corn kernels and was just a lot bigger and fuller.

, as Hayes said. And looking at kosimi like this, Sean always felt that it was very similar to the cocoa he had seen on TV in his previous life, but he was a little uncertain.

"Lord Lord, you can taste it, but the sago pulp tastes a bit sour, but it also has a sweet taste, but the sago pulp is not much, only the outer layer, and the inside is larger. The core..."

Seeing that Sean is very interested in kosimi, Hayes took advantage of the opportunity to introduce the taste of Kesimi to Sean. Hearing Hayes' words, Sean did not hesitate, took out a corn kernel-like pulp, and put it into his mouth.

In his previous life, Sean had never eaten cocoa, so I don't know if it tastes the same as cocoa, but looking at the gray-black pit in his hand, Sean feels that kosimi and cocoa are similar. If it's a similar species, so kosimi can become a good cash crop. After all, chocolate made with cocoa as a raw material in previous lives is marketed in the world.

"Hayes, what do you think of kosimi's plants?"

Hearing this, he looked at Sean who was still looking at the fruit of Kosimi. After hesitating for a while, Hayes still said her real thinking.

"My lord, according to the observations of my two colleagues and me, although the plant sago has good resistance and environmental adaptability, it has a mediocre taste and low pulp content is not of much value."

After that, quietly. After taking a look at Sean, Hayes breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Sean's expression hadn't changed.

"That's it, Hayes, are these kosimi fruits ripe?"

With that, Sean's topic suddenly turned a corner. In this regard, although Hayes was a little confused, she quickly answered.

"My lord, these kosimi fruits are indeed ripe."

"Well, after that, Hayes, you will take someone to pick all these fruits, ferment the pulp and the pit, and then dry them before baking. In the end, before polishing, do a few more experiments, and see how the final result is. If you encounter a manpower or material problem during this process, you can ask Sir Iluka to help you solve it."

With that, Sean turned his gaze to Iluka.

"There is no problem, Lord Lord, I will provide Hayes with the corresponding help."

Feeling Sean's gaze, Iluka gave his promise. Through the words of Sean just now, he has already felt that Sean's attention to this matter. After making corresponding arrangements, Sean no longer pays much attention to kosimi. He has other things to do. As for the final result, he doesn't know. After all, he is not sure whether kosimi and Coco are truly similar in characteristics.
