God of Cooking, grilling skewers attracted the fairy beasts

After Li Heng put out the fire, he waited for a while before using a sieve to separate the chestnuts and beans.

The chestnuts were distributed equally among the people present, while the beans were collected by him.

The originally russet pimple stone turned black due to a layer of sugar attached to the surface. However, this thing could be used repeatedly, so Li Heng did not throw it away.

I picked several baskets of chestnuts, and there must be some use for them.

Eating snacks along the way, Li Heng and his group's steps became much more brisk.

Sweet chestnuts always make people happy.

"Brother Li Heng, I've finished eating my chestnuts, why don't we fry them again?"

However, happiness is always short-lived. Lu Xiaoxiao's portion of roasted chestnuts was finished by her before she knew it.

"Haven't you eaten enough? Let's go back to Xiaochu Peak first. When we get back, I'll teach you how to stir-fry."

It was impossible to stir-fry again, and Li Heng planned to go back for dinner before dark.

The novelty of camping in the wild has almost worn off. In addition, he has gained a lot from this trip, and he can't wait to go back and deal with them.

"That's a deal!"

Lu Xiaoxiao happily agreed. Once she learned how to roast chestnuts with sugar, she could eat as many roasted chestnuts as she wanted. Now she would just eat some raw ones.

While Li Heng was on his way, he was also observing the flowers, plants and trees around him. He might be able to tell where the seasonings he needed or other things that could be used as snacks were hidden.

Hard work paid off. When he was still more than two miles away from the Tiandao Sect's station, a yellow fruit hanging upside down on a tree in the distance attracted Li Heng's attention.

"What fruit is that? A wild mango?"

Li Heng murmured.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look."

At this distance, he was not sure whether it was what he had guessed.

"Okay, brother Li Heng discovered something good again?"

The happiest ones were the two little ones. After the trip, they never stopped eating except for sleeping.

Along the way, the magical brother Li Heng brought them many unexpected surprises.

After getting closer, Li Heng discovered that the fruit on the tree was not mango, because the fruits of mango trees all grow on the treetops.

The fruits of the big tree in front of me grow on the tree trunks. In addition to being larger than mangoes, these fruits have pitted surfaces and are not as smooth as mangoes.

"It seems to be cocoa fruit."

"Coco? What a strange name!"

Su Lingxuan was a little surprised and asked, why does this name sound so cute?

Li Heng stepped forward, reached out and picked a relatively low fruit, and split the shell of the fruit from the middle with a hand knife.

"really!"

After seeing a pile of sticky white pulp inside the fruit shell, Li Heng finally confirmed his idea that this was the cocoa fruit.

"Brother Li Heng, can you eat it?"

Xiao Chi climbed onto Li Heng's shoulder and asked.

"The pulp is edible, but I can keep the seeds inside."

Li Heng picked a cocoa bean, fed it to Xiao Chi's mouth, and then fed one to himself.

Even though a cocoa bean looks quite big, in fact the pulp is only a thin layer, and most of the space is held up by the seeds inside.

As for the taste, it's a bit like mangosteen, but slightly sour.

After eating the outer pulp, you can also try chewing the seeds inside.

Although it will taste a little bitter at first, it will become sweet after the bitterness.

You can even taste chocolate in it, since cocoa beans are what chocolate is made from.

"Bah, bah, the pulp is delicious, but the seeds are bitter!"

Xiao Chi, who did not believe in evil, imitated Li Heng and took a bite of the seeds. He immediately frowned, took Li Heng's hand and spit the cocoa beans into his palm.

"Don't you want to try it? It's really delicious."

When Li Heng turned around to ask questions, he found that everyone had already started eating, so there was no need for him to remind them.

"Junior Brother Li, you have collected so many seeds, are you going to take them back and plant them on Xiaochu Peak?"

After Su Lingxuan finished eating one cocoa nut, she handed all the cocoa beans to Li Heng, which he had specially emphasized.

Everyone has long been accustomed to the fact that Li Heng likes to collect seeds, but this time he collected a little too much.

Is it possible that he wants to plant such cocoa trees on Xiaochu Peak?

"Senior sister, don't look at this cocoa bean as it tastes bitter, but I can use it to make a very delicious food, chocolate."

It's another term that none of the girls have heard of, but since Li Heng said it's delicious, it must be really delicious.

As for planting cocoa trees on Xiaochu Peak, Li Heng has no plans at all.

First, because the growth cycle of the cocoa tree is so long, it takes at least five years to harvest the first fruits after planting the seeds;

Secondly, this cocoa forest is not very far from Xiaochu Peak. When you need cocoa beans, you only need to come here to pick them.

Just hearing the name, no one can imagine what chocolate tastes like.

"Hey, this chocolate is a symbol of love in my hometown. It represents sweetness and romance."

Li Heng vaguely remembered that on Valentine's Day, many couples would give chocolates to each other.

"Love...love, master...junior brother..."

When she heard the word 'love', Su Lingxuan suddenly became coy, her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally fell silent.

Su Lingxuan thought with some embarrassment: "Junior brother, are you going to confess to me? Why is it so sudden! I am not prepared at all..."

A certain person fell into her own world for a while. She was constantly torn between the two choices of whether to agree to Junior Brother Li Heng immediately or to be reserved first and then agree to Junior Brother Li Heng's pursuit.

"If I agree directly, won't it seem a bit frivolous?"

"What if I'm too reserved and my junior brother just gives up?"

"What if... Oops, it's so hard to choose!"

......

"Senior sister, senior sister, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Su Lingxuan suddenly lost her mind, her eyes glazed over and motionless, Li Heng waved his hand in front of her eyes and asked.

"Aren't you talking about the usefulness of cocoa beans? Why is Senior Sister acting a little strange?"

Li Heng was confused and wondered in his heart.

"Junior brother, I, I am willing!"

Su Lingxuan came back to her senses and stuttered Leng Buding to Li Heng in front of her.

"What do you want?"

Li Heng still had a question mark on his face. He didn't seem to have asked Senior Sister Lingxuan to do anything for him just now.

"Ah! Junior brother, you heard me wrong. I said I'm going to help you pick fruits."

Realizing that she had made a mistake, Su Lingxuan ran away with an apple-cheeked face, leaving Li Heng alone in a daze.

Li Heng will never know that this is the closest he has come to finding love in his two lives so far.

"Xiaoxiao, the green ones are not yet ripe, so don't pick them yet."

As early as Su Lingxuan started to fall into a daze, everyone else went to the woods to pick cocoa fruits with bamboo baskets on their backs.

Li Heng, who was confused, also joined the picking team. When he saw Lu Xiaoxiao preparing to attack an underage fruit, he hurriedly stopped him.

These cocoa fruits should be the final harvest of their trip.
