Super Farming Tycoon Novel - Chapter 230

230 Excited to Meet Her Daughter-in-law

“Aiya, why are these oranges so sour?” After eating the oranges on the street, someone suddenly asked in confusion, “Why are the oranges here so sour?”

“Ah, is yours sour?” Another person ate an orange and said, “The orange I’m eating isn’t sour. It’s very sweet! But perhaps it’s too sweet. I can’t taste the orange fragrance at all! It’s pure sweetness!”

“My orange is sour and sweet, but I can’t taste the orange fragrance!”

“Boss Shi, why are these oranges so different from the ones you sent?”

!!
“That’s right. I thought the oranges here were all sent by Boss Shi!”

Shi Lichun found it difficult to answer these people’s questions!

After all, it was good to buy good navel oranges on the street. If you didn’t, then so be it.

However, regardless of whether these roadside navel oranges were good or bad, letting foreign customers buy them would have a certain impact on perceptions about the quality and brand of Pingyang County’s navel oranges.

Shi Lichun explained with a smile, “Many of these navel oranges are planted by the local families, but some of them are also bought wholesale. However, the taste of the navel oranges is also related to the soil planted. For example, the navel oranges in our Shahe Town are delicious and can cost more than 12 dollars. The navel oranges in that area are the representatives of our entire Shahe Town. They once represented our Shahe Town to participate in the navel orange festival and won the gold award. Therefore, the price is higher. As for the other areas, there are good and bad ones. Therefore, buying them on the streets depends on luck.”

Duoduo immediately asked in confusion, “Boss Shi, your navel orange is the best I’ve ever eaten. Does it belong to that delicious area?”

Shi Lichun shook his head and said, “No, My oranges belong to another place.”

“Then why is there such a big difference in the taste of the navel oranges?” Duoduo asked again.

“The reason why the navel oranges here are delicious is that these navel oranges are planted in soil that contains rare earth minerals,” Shi Lichun explained. “In addition to the management and cultivation, we are able to cultivate good navel oranges!”

When Duo Duo heard this, he immediately said, “I understand why the navel orange here is delicious. It’s the rare earth kingdom of Gan City! The rare earth is absorbed on the surface of the clay in an ionic state. They’re very shallow from the surface. The rare earth minerals have the consistency of the soil and are soft. They’re widely distributed, have high taste, and have all the elements. The rare earth mined in Gan City accounts for 70% of the rare earth in the country, and they’re all high-quality ionic heavy rare earth. That’s why this is called the rare earth kingdom of Gan City.”

“When we were in school, we had all learned the story of the Southern Orange and the Northern Orange. Oranges grew in the south and north. Although they were of the same species, the fruits they produced were worlds apart. The reason was simply that the soil and water were different. They were both navel oranges, but the unique and exquisite flash and flavor of Gan City’s oranges could not be separated from the nourishment of this land that contained rich minerals.”

“The various rare earth minerals and trace elements rich in the soil of Gan City not only have a unique effect on the color, sweetness, and fragrance of the oranges in Gan City, but also have a special effect on the nutritional composition and vitamin content of the oranges of Gan City. The nutritional elements of the minerals have a special effect on the orange-red appearance of the navel oranges of Gan City, causing the fruit to be large and plump, and the texture of the flesh to be crisp and tender. The orange fragrance is strong and sweet, and the nutrition is comprehensive. It is rich in carotene, carotenoids, vitamins A/B/C/P, and calcium, as well as trace elements such as iron, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and sodium. There are also naturally formed lemon oil, coumarin, flavonoids, lemon bitters, glycerin lipids, and other cancer-resistant substances.”

Xu Duoduo could not stop talking about the navel oranges.

Of course, as a fan of navel oranges, understanding these things was the most basic.

After Mrs. Mo heard this, she gave Duoduo a thumbs up and said, “Little Xu, you really know a lot!”

Beside him, Mo Ronghua nodded in agreement.

Xu Duoduo touched the back of his head and was a little embarrassed. “This is just some small information and general knowledge that I’ve looked up online.”

Shi Lichun also gave him a thumbs up and said with a smile, “That’s right. Actually, the reason why the navel oranges here are delicious is mainly because of the rare earth mineral environment! However, not all soils have rare earth. Coupled with the difference in the management method, this causes the navel orange flavor to be different.”

“So, Boss Shi, is there rare earth mine in your orchard?” Someone asked in amusement.

Shi Lichun nodded and said, “Indeed. My family’s orchard has an old tree that’s ten to twenty years old. There are also new trees that have only been planted for a year or two. The ones I picked all have mountains with yellow soil containing rare minerals.”

“Um, do you guys want to go to my house to rest for a while or go straight to the mountain to pick oranges?” Shi Lichun said, “It takes about twenty minutes to drive from town to my mountain. If you go to my house first and then to the mountain, it will take about forty minutes.” The main reason was that his family lived far away from town.

Of course, it was faster to drive. It would take a longer time to take a tricycle.

However, he drove to the bus station and they seemed to have come in a station wagon.

The station wagon is parked at the bus station and they had just walked out of the bus station.

In order not to leave a bad impression on the guests, he drove his car over.

However, a car could not accommodate so many people.

So, how should he go now?

Many people smiled innocently and said, “But Boss Shi, there are so many of us now, but we didn’t drive the car over. Look?”

Shi Lichun smiled and said, “If everyone isn’t in a hurry, I’ll get someone to drive three more cars over now. It will take some time to drive over from home.”

Mrs. Mo smiled and said, “Boss Shi, there’s no need to trouble yourself. Let’s take the tour bus.”

Shi Lichun said, “But that road is smaller. We can’t take a big vehicle like a tourist bus.”

Mrs. Mo was speechless. Actually, she wanted to go to his house to take a look.

Shi Lichun thought for a moment and said, “How about this? Let’s take the tour bus to my house to rest for a while. Then, we’ll take my car up the mountain. How about that?”

“That’s the plan!” Mrs. Mo agreed. “We’ve been on the bus for the whole day. We really want to rest for a while!”

Most importantly, she wanted to go home to see her future daughter-in-law.

Haha, Mrs. Mo probably didn’t know that her future daughter-in-law was actually on the mountain with the two children, pouncing on butterflies.

This suggestion was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.

Then, someone called the driver and they waited by the roadside.

When the car arrived, Shi Lichun led the way in front, followed by the station wagon.

Mrs. Mo could not hide her excitement when she got into the car. She whispered to Mo Ronghua, “Hubby, we’re going to see our daughter-in-law soon. Are you excited?”

Mo Ronghua was speechless.
