Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 144 Cilantro

Huang Lajiao waved his hand when he heard this, "Sigh, I'm too old to manage them anymore. I asked them to help me process the chili powder, but they ran around everywhere and mixed up all the chili powder in the workshop. Now it's a mess."

"Really? They deserve a beating. Make them do hard labor or hang them from a tree."

The girls who were being held were already unhappy, and upon hearing this, they began to beg for mercy even more.

"Sister Cilantro, don't lock us up in the tree, we can change our ways."

"Yeah, yeah, I just got a new look recently. If I stay on the tree in the sun for two days, my chili pepper skin will turn dull again."

"Yes, yes, Grandpa Huang, Sister Cilantro, please forgive us this time."

Xia Shiyu found the plants' words very interesting. She even felt like she was seeing the plants from Plants vs. Zombies, only in a more human-friendly version.

Huang Lajiao coughed a few times as he looked at the naughty little peppers. "Alright, alright, we'll let it go today since we have guests. Just work quietly with us and don't think about anything else."

After hearing this, I put down the few chili peppers and stood beside them.

Xia Shiyu knew it was her turn, so she stepped forward and said, "Hello, Grandpa Huang, I'm here to find some seeds. What do I need to do to get them?"

Yellow Chili glanced at her, touched the chili stem on her head, and asked, "You're here to find scallions, cilantro, and garlic, right?"

"Yes," Xia Shiyu nodded.

Seeing this, Huang Lajiao nodded and said to her, "If you want to find them, just look for people from their tribe. For example, the cilantro and scallions next to you are easy to find; they're on the opposite mountain. As for garlic, they're all quite far from where we live because their smell is a bit strong."

Xia Shiyu nodded, "Okay, okay, thank you so much."

"It's alright, it's alright. Hehe, I'll be leaving now. I'm going to teach these little firecrackers a lesson."

After Huang Lajiao finished speaking, he left with a few more small chili peppers, leaving only Xiangcai and Xia Shiyu at the scene.

Xia Shiyu curiously turned her gaze to the cilantro, "Hello?"

"Hello," Cilantro smiled, touched her skirt, and then wafted the scent of cilantro.

Xia Shiyu thought the cilantro smelled amazing and knew it must be delicious.

Seeing Xia Shiyu like this, Xiangcai smiled slightly and then let her follow her.

"Let's go take a look over there. The workshops I'm in charge of are all over there."

"Okay," Xia Shiyu followed closely behind Xiangcai and headed over there.

After traveling through various places, the cilantro arrived at a cilantro field, where all the cilantro plants were of average size, but their rich aroma and refreshing color brought enjoyment to the visitors.

The coriander lady stopped in front of a coriander workshop. "Okay, this is our workshop. We mainly harvest coriander here. Some of it is kept in the warehouse, and the fresh part is processed into liquid or flour and sent to other places."

"Your job is to juice the cilantro. There are staff members who will teach you how to do it."

"Okay," Xia Shiyu nodded and followed him inside.

Once inside, it turned out to be a different dimension; it looked small from the outside, but the interior space was quite large.

Xia Shiyu also saw a group of "radish" workers. These little radish people waved their chubby white radish hands, and the radish leaves on their heads were pouring coriander into the wooden mill.

When they saw Cilantro arrive, they all greeted her in unison, "Hello, Cilantro sister!"

"Hello, this is our new helper. You can show her around the process and then she can start helping out."

Cilantro Sister carefully introduced the radishes to them.

Xia Shiyu felt her heart melt at the sight of these little radishes; they were just too adorable.

Radish was very happy to hear what Cilantro said. It nodded and said, "Don't worry, we've got your back."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. This is Luo Xiaoding; he'll be in charge of handling your tasks from now on."

"Okay, I understand." Xia Shiyu nodded and went with Luo Xiaoding to handle the matter.

Luo Xiaoding led the way, his little feet moving adorably as he walked. He stopped at a certain spot.

Pointing to the wooden millstone with cilantro on it, he said, "We were originally going to use this millstone to grind the cilantro into juice, but you're too big for this. You'll have to use the bucket over there."

Xia Shiyu looked at the millstone in front of him and felt that it was too small, like a child's toy, with a few little radishes pushing it hard.

Xia Shiyu found it interesting, but noticed that they didn't seem tired at all; perhaps they had some other special effects.

She shifted her gaze to the large wooden tub next to her. It was indeed quite large, about a meter tall, similar to the radishes, but very wide. Xia Shiyu would need to use a large wooden stick to pound out the juice.

Xia Shiyu looked at the many corianders and was a little curious as to why there were no machines or equipment here. But then she thought that in fairy tale worlds, there are many places that pursue naturalness, so this should be quite good.

Xia Shiyu thought for a moment and then stopped asking questions, obediently using a wooden stick to pound out the coriander juice.

Fortunately, she found the weight of the stick to be manageable as soon as she picked it up, and the juice came out smoothly when she hit the cilantro with the stick.

There was absolutely no feeling of strain or difficulty in succeeding after a long period of effort.

Xia Shiyu thought this was quite fun, since it didn't require much effort and she could work with these cute radishes.

Xia Shiyu diligently pounded and pounded with a wooden stick, and soon produced a large amount of coriander juice.

She then filtered out the residue and extracted the juice, set it aside, and began repeating the process.

The workers nearby were quite surprised and couldn't help but glance at her several times, thinking she was really amazing.

Even their leader, Luo Xiaoding, was very satisfied. Sure enough, being big makes it easier to work.

Luo Xiaoding watched as Xia Shiyu worked efficiently, producing more and more coriander juice.

He then said to Xia Shiyu, "Now just move these juices to that transfer table over there, and we'll sort and package them later."

"Thank you for taking care of everything else that's been done."

"No problem, leave it all to me." Xia Shiyu found carrying the coriander juice quite easy, especially since these radishes were small, and she could help them with their work as well.
