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

Chapter 79 Winter Potatoes

Xia Wen was very satisfied with the food, and felt that other delicacies she ate the next day were not as delicious. She planned to go to Xia Shiyu's house for a couple of days in a while.

This is comparable to a luxurious version of a farmhouse restaurant; how can you not be tempted after tasting the food?

Xia Shiyu was unaware of Xia Wen's thoughts at the moment. She and her family worked for two or three days and finally managed to plant all the citrus seedlings.

After planting the saplings, sprinkle water on them to help them establish roots, and try your best to ensure that none of the saplings die.

After Xia Shiyu and her family carefully checked it several times and found no problems, they were able to let it grow freely.

We can prune the saplings and thin out the fruit later.

After resolving this matter, Xia Shiyu felt he could go back into the fairy tale world to find winter potato seeds.

Finding some free time, she ran into the fairy tale world to search for potato seeds.

Once Xia Shiyu entered the space, he explained his request to the system: "System, I need to collect winter potato seeds."

[Host request detected, matching you in progress.]

[Match successful. The host is about to enter the winter crop task section.]

Xia Shiyu wondered how the system would handle potatoes, since they were one of the crops available in the first map.

Not knowing what kind of animal might be there, Xia Shiyu walked towards the white circle of light that appeared in front of her, this time without having to walk to the Mushroom House to knock on the door.

Xia Shiyu stepped into the light circle and immediately shivered.

The cold wind howled, and all that could be seen was ice; the ground beneath one's feet was solid ice.

Xia Shiyu couldn't help but hug herself; it was just too cold. She was only wearing a regular long-sleeved shirt with a jacket over it, and she was completely vulnerable to the cold.

"Oh my god, system, what have you done to me?"

The halo behind Xia Shiyu has disappeared, and it seems that he cannot back down for the time being. He can only grit his teeth and move forward.

Fortunately, they soon saw an igloo. Xia Shiyu quickened her pace and walked forward, and then she saw two snow-white, large polar bears walk out from the side.

Xia Shiyu stopped in her tracks. She had thought it was something she had been brought from somewhere else, but it turned out to be the Arctic.

"It seems the animal this time will be a polar bear." However, she still hesitated for a moment, after all, these were all tall polar bears, and the sense of oppression was incomparable to that of the previous animals.

But the two polar bears were looking at her without making any other moves; one of them even raised its arm and waved at her.

Xia Shiyu thought that these animals should be similar to the previous ones, at least they shouldn't be able to hurt her.

So she continued walking forward, and once she got there, she could clearly see two tall polar bears, which were much taller than her when they stood up.

The atmosphere was oppressive, but the polar bear that had waved at her earlier broke the tension.

He raised his hand and touched his head, his gestures and movements very human-like. "Hello, mission taker, are you here to complete a mission?"

Xia Shiyu nodded, "Yes, Mr. Polar Bear, I came here to get winter potato seeds."

Another polar bear nodded gently at her. "Come with us."

He then turned around, led the way, pushed open the door of the igloo, and gestured for her to go inside.

Xia Shiyu followed the polar bear toward the igloo. After entering, she first felt a warmth, and then discovered that the igloo was covered with a thick layer of soil, with potato leaves on top of the soil.

So this is where winter potatoes are grown. I have to say the system is pretty amazing. She asked for winter potato seeds, and it just sent them to the Arctic. That's too much work and too exaggerated.

But it's no use now. Xia Shiyu has to grit her teeth and keep going. Fortunately, the ice house is relatively cool. Otherwise, she would still feel cold even after moving around a bit, and she wouldn't even want to hold those farm tools.

Xia Shiyu asked, "Is my task simply to collect these potatoes?"

The polar bear nodded. "Your task is to collect all the potatoes in this freezer. Here's a small hoe."

The polar bear handed her a small hoe, which Xia Shiyu took. This was the tool she would use this time.

Xia Shiyu needed to use this small hoe to carefully dig open the potato holes and then dig out the potatoes.

It wasn't difficult, just be careful not to damage it while digging. Xia Shiyu later just dug with his hands. The soil here was quite loose, so it must have been specially prepared so he could dig it open directly with his hands.

She carefully dug away the soil and pulled the potatoes up by their roots, instantly lifting up a long bunch of potatoes.

The potatoes were all plump and quite large; they looked delicious.

Xia Shiyu placed the potatoes she dug up in her basket and arranged them neatly. At first, the two polar bears next to her watched her dig potatoes, but later they went to lie down on the ground and dozed off.

Xia Shiyu patiently dug up basket after basket of potatoes; there weren't many potatoes grown in this igloo.

Xia Shiyu had filled six or seven baskets, and just as she was about to ask the polar bears what to do, the polar bears stood up.

Then each person took two large baskets of potatoes and started to walk out of the igloo.

One of the polar bears waited for her for a moment and gestured to her.

Xia Shiyu realized that they probably wanted her to go with them to move the goods.

"Do you want me to move in with you?"

The polar bear nodded. "Yes, you have to move there."

"Alright," Xia Shiyu nodded, picked up a basket of potatoes, and followed along outside.

The potatoes were alright; she wasn't carrying a heavy basket of them. But it was incredibly cold outside the igloo. Even with two polar bears shielding her from the cold, a constant gust of wind still blew against her.

Fortunately, there was another igloo nearby, so she simply followed it through.

Upon arriving at her destination, Xia Shiyu placed the potatoes inside the house, only then noticing the clusters of ice flowers nearby.

The transparent petals, resembling ice sculptures, unfold one by one, and when a ray of sunlight shines on the leaves, they display dazzling colors.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, so beautiful!"

Seeing her curiosity, the dazed polar bear said, "That's an ice flower, a local specialty. It doesn't taste very good, but I can give you a few if you want."

"Really?" Xia Shiyu was pleasantly surprised.

"real"

Xia Shiyu quickly thanked her, "Thank you so much."

"You're welcome, here you go." The polar bear picked up the two potted plants and handed them to her.

Xia Shiyu quickly took it, and another polar bear came over and brought her potato seeds.

"Your mission is complete. Welcome back next time."

"Okay, goodbye." Xia Shiyu said goodbye to the two polar bears.
