Chapter 572 A Field of Cockleburs
The fruit salad at the store has been very well received lately.

Sheng Jiu thought, since she was already here and had already seen everything, she might as well pick them.

So the three of them stopped looking for cockleburs, since they couldn't find any for the time being, and decided to just pick the fruit instead.

The early apricots are not large, unlike the rosy apricots which are red and tempting. They are just pale yellow with a hint of green. They are sweet when you take a bite, with only a slight sourness when you chew them.

It doesn't taste sour at all; on the contrary, the slight tartness perfectly balances the rich sweetness, making the apricot flesh even more delicious.

"This is delicious!" Sheng Jiu couldn't help but praise after tasting it.

Shang Wuji had only a mediocre sense of fruit.

Whose dragon likes to eat vegetables and fruits?

He loves to eat meat!

However, seeing that Sheng Jiu was eating with great satisfaction, he thought for a moment and also picked one and put it in his mouth.

Don't tell me, it tastes pretty good.

Shang Wuji was glad that he was eating in human form.

If it's shaped like a dragon, then this apricot...

It probably doesn't even feel it.

This apricot is indeed not very big.

However, it tastes good, and since you can see it, there's no reason not to try it, right?
Sheng Jiu has already confirmed with the system that this is an unclaimed item in the wild, and anyone can pick it.

However, the cultivators clearly had little interest in these things, as the place was remote and far from residential areas.

Therefore, ordinary people would not come here to pick them.

What are you waiting for?
We bought it all!
After picking the apricots, they came across peaches.

The peaches are fuzzy peaches, so they're not good to eat directly.

However, Sheng Jiu was well prepared.

They took out water, washed the food, cut it with a knife, and the three of them shared it.

The taste was also quite good.

So, pick it!
There were only two apricot trees before, so the amount that could be picked was limited.

However, there were twelve peach trees in total!
Pick them all, pick them all!
It would be a waste not to pick them when they are ripe.

With more than ten peach trees, the task is not small.

However, among the three, two have incredibly fast hand speeds, and Sheng Jiu also has excellent physical attributes, so the three of them are quite efficient.

We finished picking the peaches before noon.

You can continue!

The three continued walking.

I didn't see half a cocklebur plant, but I did find some raspberries.

So, I picked it.

It's a fruit I don't recognize at all, but it looks like an inflated black nightshade. However, it tastes great, with a thin skin and tender flesh that bursts with juice when you bite into it.

Moreover, it's purely sweet and has a low glycemic index!
This fruit is delicious, but picking it is a real hassle.

Although Sheng Jiu had warned from the beginning that the fruit had a thin skin.

However, Shang Wuji didn't have much confidence in his own strength.

Therefore, he thought he had the power under control.

As soon as I touched it, it burst with juice.

Shang Wuji: ?

what.

So crisp and tender?
He was already very light, and he even felt like he wasn't using any force at all.

Shang Wuji scratched his head and quickly adjusted his strength.

As a result, it burst with juice, and then burst with juice again.

It's still exploding!
Shang Wuji was furious for a moment, then looked at the other two people guiltily.

The other two people who were picking fruit efficiently didn't even notice him.

Shang Wuji quickly withdrew his gaze and tried using magic.

I must say, this trick works.

Although he is extremely strong, he is not very easy to control.

However, the magic was still superb!

Moreover, spell removal is more efficient.

Didn't you see that Lin Duo has already secretly started using it?

Although this fruit is not easy to pick, and it bursts with juice if you're not careful, the three of them are still quite efficient.

Of course, the main problem is that there are only two trees in total, and the yield is also average.

After they finished picking, the three of them continued.

This time there was more blank time in between.

Sheng Jiu encountered many wild vegetables, but the system warned that they all tasted mediocre.

Wild vegetables have not become normal vegetables and entered the regular daily diet because of various problems.

It might be too cooling, too astringent, or have too much oxalic acid...

In short, it's nice to try it occasionally for a change of pace.

However, the system does not recommend eating it regularly.

Sheng Jiu thought that he should listen to the system's advice.

So, we're not digging anymore.

After walking a little further, Lin Duo couldn't help but doubt, "Are you sure you're smelling the right thing?"

He wondered if Shang Wuji had smelled it wrong, or if he had been eating too many different kinds of food and his sense of smell had become dull.

How long have they been walking?
I didn't see a single cocklebur!
Shang Wuji wasn't angry at being suspected; he just rolled his eyes and said, "If you're so capable, then you do it."

Lin Duo thought to himself, "If I had your level of cultivation, I would have been here long ago."

This is because I can't access it!
Lin Duo was speechless and could only silently follow.

The three of them walked for another two kilometers before finally finding the cocklebur.

And it's a field of burdock that stretches as far as the eye can see!

Most of them are already ripe!

Of course, some of them are still unripe, and we can pick them again when we have time.

Once the system locates the location, it becomes much easier to find it.

Looking at the endless expanse of burdock, Sheng Jiu gave Shang Wuji a thumbs up: "You're amazing!"

Shang Wuji straightened his back with a slightly reserved air, and let out a low, pleasant laugh from deep in his throat.

Oh no, it doesn't sound like a laugh, it sounds more like a roar.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Jiu felt her mind clear up for a moment.

The yelling woke me up.

Lin Duo was startled by the shout, and after realizing what was happening, he gave Shang Wuji a strange look.

Shang Wuji: ?

When someone is happy, can't they even laugh?
Don't go too far!

Longlong brought you here!

Shang Wuji didn't want to argue with Lin Duo, so he quickly helped Sheng Jiu pick cockleburs.

Sometimes, they don't really need to take the initiative.

Because mature cockleburs will come to you on their own.

However, they still need to collect these cockleburs, put them in bottles, and then have them taken away by the system, awaiting further processing.

While Sheng Jiu and his group were happily picking cocklebur powder, Sheng Siyu was called to the general manager's office.

The general manager's surname is Xue. She is a woman who is not yet forty years old, is well-groomed, has a very amiable expression, but is also very decisive in her work.

She specifically asked the front desk manager to call Sheng Siyu over.

To be honest, apart from the weekly meetings, Sheng Siyu doesn't see the general manager very often.

Seeing people at this moment was still quite unexpected.

Fearing that her demeanor might not be up to standard and she would be used as an example in the employee meeting, Sheng Siyu gave it her best.

Manager Xue was naturally satisfied with Sheng Siyu's demeanor.

To get into the lobby and become a receptionist, the first thing they look at is your face, and the second is your height and physique.

Although Sheng Siyu's working hours were not long, she even resigned for a period of time due to family matters.

However, Manager Xue still remembered her somewhat.

They are quite diligent in their work.

Sheng Siyu: ?
what?
me?

Manager Xue first asked about work-related matters, as if it were a routine spot check.

Sheng Siyu handled the situation calmly and without the slightest panic.

Soon, Manager Xue stopped beating around the bush and got straight to the point: "I heard from your manager that the fruit your sister has is quite good?"
