Chapter 369: Pleasant Chat with the Commander (3)
"The skin has a layer of fine hair, does this prevent moisture loss? Is the origin a drought area?"
"Yes, they’re only found in desert oases, and not in every oasis. For example, if this oasis had a good harvest last year, this year it might not have any fruits, while another distant oasis might have them." Ye Nai explained in detail.
"So troublesome?" Both the Commander and the assistant found it incredible, "Purely wild? Not cultivated?"
Ye Nai nodded repeatedly, "Purely wild, very tasty, sweet and grainy, it’s a desert product, you know, guaranteed sweetness. As you eat, the juice runs down your arm, sticky, and if you don’t wash your hands afterwards, you’ll be surrounded by bugs. Plus, they’re hard to collect, so they’re sold as expensive as gold. It’s not an exaggeration—it’s a challenge just to get out of the desert with intact fruits after harvesting, not to mention the workers’ wage costs in gold coins. The two-month harvest season can earn a family’s annual living expenses for the locals. Once they’re sold to wealthy people, who knows how many times the price will increase."
"Oh, that’s enlightening, I didn’t know they were so expensive."
The Commander and the assistant nodded, putting down the fruits they were holding.
"Hurry up, eat your meal, and then try these fruits."
The Commander said with a smile, his eyes still filled with curiosity and expectation about these exotic fruits.
The assistant agreed, and everyone’s attention returned to the dishes on the table, while pondering over these intriguing things from the Otherworld and considering their potential value and significance.
For them, this information was not only a novel experience but might also impact future military operations and strategic decisions. Ye Nai didn’t care what they were thinking now; she hurriedly lowered her head to eat.
