Chapter 23 - Chapter 23 The Wonders of Wheat

Turning back, Ye Yuan slowly walked out of the room.

She had a carefree and relaxed look about her.

"She's really lazy!"

Bai Xue couldn't help but complain.

After saying that, she also smiled.

She was no different.

The environment here made people unconsciously become lazy and relaxed.

This was the unique charm of Stardew Valley, a one-of-a-kind charm.

It was a new experience that could be given to the Dungeon—relaxation!

"Xiao Xue, what are we doing today?"

Ye Yuan came before Bai Xue, her eyes fixed on Bai Xue's tail wagging behind her.

"What are we doing? Watering our crops, and then… hmm… continuing to chop trees, or going fishing?"

Bai Xue pondered the things they could do today.

"Watering? Chopping trees? Fishing?"

Ye Yuan's head spun, falling into decision paralysis.

Noticing the dazed Ye Yuan, Bai Xue stepped forward and tapped her on the forehead, then said, "Let's water first."

"Oh, oh, oh, I got the specific instruction."

Ye Yuan immediately sprang into action.

The two of them carried watering cans and began watering a large patch of crops.

Besides a large area of wheat that was gradually turning golden, there were also the hops crops and tomato crops they had bought yesterday.

The crops planted just yesterday hadn't changed much after one day, nor had they sprouted, and the frames set up for the hops were still empty.

Their main purpose was to water this large area of newly planted crops.

200 seeds, this was no simple task.

However, the two of them were not ordinary people; holding the title of Bronze-level Adventurer, they possessed corresponding strength.

The most basic requirement for a Bronze-level Adventurer was for the total value of their physical attributes to reach 100 points.

That is, the sum of five values: strength, constitution, speed, intelligence, and magic, must be 100 points.

This was the minimum requirement.

The requirement for Black Iron was 50 points, and for the higher Silver-tier, it was 300 points…

And even higher Adventurers titles required even higher attribute values.

But Bronze-level Adventurers were already very strong, already completely surpassing human strength and reaching a non-human level of intensity.

Therefore, with their strength, although they looked like delicate girls, completing the watering task was not very difficult.

After watering the hops and tomatoes, the two of them came to the wheat field.

At this moment, both were surprised to discover something.

It turned out the wheat was already ripe and ready for harvest!

"Oh, I forgot, today is the fourth day, and wheat only has a 4-day growth period."

Ye Yuan slapped her forehead, realizing.

Bai Xue, on the other hand, looked at her silly friend speechlessly, how could she forget something like this?

Of course, if Bai Xue knew about Ye Yuan's loss of a large patch of cauliflower, she wouldn't have thought that way.

"Don't just stand there stupid, let's hurry and harvest!"

Bai Xue urged, then walked to a box placed aside and changed into a scythe.

There were two scythes; besides Ye Yuan's, Bai Xue also received the basic five-piece tool set after entering here.

The humanization of this Dungeon had surprised Bai Xue several times already.

"Oh, oh, coming right away!"

Ye Yuan also picked up her scythe and went to the field to start cutting wheat.

After the two had harvested for a while, Bai Xue noticed Ye Yuan's movements and immediately said speechlessly.

"Hey, can't you be more careful? Look at what your cut wheat has become!"

Bai Xue saw that the wheat Ye Yuan had cut was long in some sections and short in others, not at all neat, like it had been chewed by a dog.

"Uh… what's wrong with that?"

Ye Yuan looked at Bai Xue, who was lecturing her, and immediately had a black line on her face.

However, she took a closer look at the wheat she had cut and found that indeed, more than half of it was uneven.

It wasn't aesthetically pleasing at all, and some of the grains had even fallen out of the wheat ears.

"This…"

Ye Yuan was stunned, suddenly feeling a bit awkward.

"Can this bad wheat be sold? Should we throw it away?"

Ye Yuan asked uncertainly.

"Throw what away? Why are you so wasteful? This wheat seems to be grain, and you're actually planning to throw away precious grain!"

Seeing the silly Ye Yuan actually planning to throw away the badly cut wheat, Bai Xue said angrily.

"Ah?!"

Ye Yuan looked at Bai Xue in surprise.

"Forget it, quickly pick out all the bad wheat ears. The bad ones can't be sold, but we can use them ourselves!"

Bai Xue said indignantly, picking up the bad wheat ears and starting to sort them.

"Oh, I understand, this wheat can also be eaten!"

Ye Yuan finally understood Bai Xue's meaning.

But she still had a question: how was this wheat supposed to be eaten?

It didn't look like it could be eaten raw.

Just then, Bai Xue stood up after sorting out most of the bad wheat ears.

"You really don't understand anything!"

Bai Xue looked helplessly at the dazed Ye Yuan, seemingly seeing through her confusion, then she asked, "Haven't you seen the mailbox next to the house?"

"Mailbox?"

Ye Yuan looked bewildered.

"Sigh, how is it that you've been here for a week, and you haven't even paid attention to the mailbox!" Seeing Ye Yuan's expression, Bai Xue shook her head speechlessly, then led Ye Yuan towards the house, "Follow me."

On a table in the house, several sheets of letter paper were stacked.

"Oh, it's this! I remember now, the first time I came in, I received a letter, and the content seemed to be about our identity in this Dungeon."

Seeing these letters, Ye Yuan recalled.

"Hmm, besides that, there's also some very important information on these letters, didn't you read any of it?"

"Uh… I don't think I did…" Ye Yuan lowered her head in shame.

She remembered only glancing at these letters, seeing that the content was very complex and she couldn't understand it, so she didn't read it and just left it on the table.

"Sigh… Let me tell you about it." Bai Xue sighed, then picked up a letter and began to explain, "This letter records the uses and effects of wheat."

"Ah, really?"

Ye Yuan immediately became surprised.

She leaned over and took a look, and it really was!

There was a picture of wheat, and its uses were also introduced one by one.

[Wheat: One of the most widely cultivated grains. It is an excellent flour ingredient for making cakes and bread.]

[Uses: Wheat can be made into beer through a keg…

It cannot be used directly for cooking, but can be ground into barley flour through a mill to make food… It is an important ingredient in many delicious foods…]

[Some recipes: beer, bread, noodles…]

"How about it, do you know how important this stuff is now!?"

Bai Xue gently tapped Ye Yuan's head, warning her.

"I see! I remember now, the product of grinding this kind of wheat is barley flour! It's also sold in the shops in Pelican Town!"

Ye Yuan exclaimed.

"Exactly, we can make barley flour from wheat, and we can also make wheat beer according to the recipe on the envelope, which is much more profitable than selling wheat directly.

So, do you realize how silly your comment about throwing away those bad wheat ears was just now?"

Bai Xue tapped Ye Yuan's head again, lecturing her.

"Hmm, I see, I understand!"

Ye Yuan rubbed her head, nodding repeatedly in agreement.
