Early in the morning, Furina got up and knocked on Alex's door.
"Wake up, wake up!" Furina's call came from outside the door.
Alex got out of bed, subconsciously summoned his phone to check the time, it was only six in the morning.
"Ah!" Alex, who had been woken up, actually wanted to stay in bed a bit longer, but because he went to bed quite early, waking up at six now wasn't that tiring.
Since it was Furina's first time calling him, he might as well just get up.
Alex perked up, sat up, got out of bed, put on his short-sleeved robe and shoes, then opened the door.
Looking at the energetic Furina, he greeted her, "Good morning, Fufu."
"Good... The strawberries still need more than an hour to be ready." Furina replied briefly, then started to worry about the strawberries.
"Don't rush, let's go buy some breakfast first," Alex said.
Furina said, "Alright... but we don't need to buy it. Let's go to Palais Mermonia for breakfast instead."
"That works too," Alex said, nodding in agreement. It was all the same where they ate... After the two tidied themselves up and washed, Alex directly teleported with Furina.
Palais Mermonia, Alex and Furina appeared here.
"Morning." "Morning." ... As soon as they entered, many people were greeting each other, and most of the people passing by greeted Furina.
Furina either nodded or responded.
Then Furina led Alex to a large, long dining table.
Furina sat in the main chair with red and yellow trim, and Alex, familiar with the setup, sat next to her at a side table.
Furina called the waiter, it was a rare, slightly more formal meal.
"Could I have another cup of hot Milk?" Seeing Furina order some food, Alex also requested a drink.
Hearing Alex mention hot Milk, Furina thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, hot Milk, I haven't had it in a while, I'll have a cup too."
So, after finishing their somewhat luxurious breakfast, Alex picked up his hot Milk and drank it down with a "gulps!" sound.
Then Alex stretched his arm and looked at Furina, saying, "I've eaten well, so let's go back!"
"Okay!" Furina nodded, picked up a white napkin, and wiped her mouth.
Under the gaze of many people, Alex and Furina left Palais Mermonia.
"They're already at the stage of eating together?" Someone began to wonder, they had never seen them eat together in Palais Mermonia before.
Walking back to his house with Furina was good exercise.
Furina sat on the sofa, took Alex's phone, and started playing music to pass the time while waiting for the strawberries to ripen.
Alex, on the other hand, lay sprawled on the sofa, listening to the music, and slowly closed his eyes.
He hadn't been sleepy before, but after eating and returning home to rest, he felt drowsy again, so it was a good time to catch up on some sleep.
He didn't know how long it had been, but when he opened his eyes, it felt like only a moment had passed. Furina's excited voice came from the distant doorway: "Wow! Don't sleep! Come and see, the fields are full of big strawberries!"
"Oh! I'm coming," Alex said, walking over to Furina.
Looking into the fields, large green leaves and the red fruits of the strawberries filled his vision.
After all, one seed covered ten square meters, and he had planted fifty square meters side by side.
The number might not seem large, but fifty meters was quite a distance.
It was a pity that the strawberry fruits were too delicate to be separated directly by water flow hitting the connection between the short leaves and the fruits.
Sigh, he'd still have to pick them one by one honestly.
"I'll help too," Furina said.
Then Alex saw her take off her gloves for the first time, then slightly pulled up her sleeves and joined in the work of picking strawberries.
This work lasted a long time. Furina, after picking the last strawberry, couldn't help but wipe the fine beads of sweat from her forehead.
Furina also experienced for the first time the pain of being a farmer and harvesting fruits with her own hands.
Being a farmer was indeed very hard work!
After Furina finished, she quickly went back inside to wash her hands and face. When she came out again, she was back to wearing her two black and white mismatched gloves.
"That's really great!" Alex couldn't help but give Furina a thumbs up in praise. He really considered this the first time he'd seen a deity doing manual labor to pick fruits here.
While they were talking, Alex had arranged twenty-five strawberry seeds.
After this was done, a small portion of his spiritual field was already filled with strawberries.
In the evening, the lemon was also ready! He could also plant twenty-five lemon seeds, and one seed would yield five lemon trees.
Wow, in three days, he would have over a hundred lemon trees!
However, he would rely on these two to develop first. After all, neither of these had appeared in Teyvat before!
As for others, some fruits in Teyvat were directly existing, with their names unchanged, such as blueberries and so on.
He didn't know why there were blueberries but no strawberries.
There were also some that weren't sold, but were in the fruit stall models, such as watermelons and so on.
Then the picked strawberries were packed into baskets and put into his backpack.
After the last basket was put away, Alex looked and saw, good heavens, there were twenty-two full bamboo baskets, and one basket was also more than half full.
"So, these strawberries, do you need my help to transport them?" After everything was put away, Alex counted how many strawberries there were and simultaneously asked Furina.
Furina, of course, nodded frantically, and then said, "Let's go to Palais Mermonia, and I'll find a place for you to put them all there."
"Then I need to give the reserved strawberries to these people one by one. I'm going to be busy." Furina adjusted her hat, then looked at Alex: "Are you still going to set up a stall to sell lemonade today?" Furina asked doubtfully.
"Oh, yes!" Alex nodded, then checked the time.
Eight twenty in the morning!
"Oh dear!" Alex also started to get anxious. He had told Katheryne yesterday that he would open his stall at eight.
Good heavens! He was already late! All because of picking these strawberries. He should have told them to start at nine or ten... Both of them were in a hurry and didn't waste words. After teleporting Furina to Palais Mermonia, Alex bid farewell to Furina, and with another flash, appeared in Lione District.
"My goodness!" As soon as Alex arrived in Lione District, at the Adventurers' Guild, he found that it was already packed with people.
In the distance, Lyney and Lynette were performing street magic in an open space nearby.
Even Chiori had clothes racks set up nearby. She was almost surrounded by a group of noble ladies.
Nearby, a young boy looked in Alex's direction and shouted, "He's here, he's here! The boss who can exchange Shitou for a big cup of delicious fruit juice is here!!!"
"Uh..." Alex looked at his inventory. The amount of lemon he had now was less than what he had sold in two and a half hours yesterday.
He had sold sixty percent yesterday, and today only forty percent remained. And the freshest lemons wouldn't be ready until the evening.
"Opening the stall, opening the stall! Today, each person is limited to one cup! And the quantity is limited. Those who don't get one, please keep your Primogem. There will be a large replenishment of goods tomorrow!"
After Alex finished speaking, he set up his mobile shop on the ground: Primogem Drink Shop!
