Chapter 237
Xia Shiyu felt a little uneasy when she saw the witch's smile. She prayed in her heart that she wouldn't make things harder for her. Last time was fine, but she hoped it wouldn't be like that this time.
Unfortunately, the mischievous witch didn't care about any of that; her eyes darted around and she had already come up with a wicked plan.
"We've arrived. This is the sesame field."
Xia Shiyu looked at the three or four-meter-tall sesame seeds in front of him, wondering what the witch was going to do.
The witch chuckled a few times. "Hmm, let me think about what your task is today? Ah, I've got it! Let's change it to picking sesame seeds!"
"Picking up sesame seeds?" Upon hearing this, Xia Shiyu felt an ominous thought for some reason.
The witch flew up and down, saying, "Yes, of course it's about picking sesame seeds. If you pick up a thousand, you can pass the level. As for the time, it just needs to be before dark."
Before dark, Xia Shiyu glanced at the sky. It was still broad daylight, and he felt that there was plenty of time.
However, Xia Shiyu always felt that there must be some difficulties waiting for her.
Sure enough, she soon heard the witch's voice.
"However, these sesame seeds are a little different from the sesame seeds you usually see. You should explore them carefully and remember to collect 1000 good sesame seeds."
Upon hearing this, Xia Shiyu's alarm bells went off immediately; she knew the witch was up to no good.
However, when she actually went to explore, she couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Because she discovered that the tall sesame pods in front of her didn't contain many sesame seeds at all.
Xia Shiyu had seen videos of sesame harvesting online.
The process involves cutting down the sesame plants with a sickle, bundling them up, placing them in a designated spot, transporting them home to dry, and then repeatedly pounding them to extract the sesame seeds.
This process requires repeated pounding and sun exposure to perfectly pound each sesame seed.
However, given the current situation, Xia Shiyu definitely couldn't wait for it to dry slowly. She could only cut it down and peel open the banana-like sesame pods to pick out the sesame seeds inside.
A sesame pod usually contains a lot of sesame seeds. Just find a large leaf or a spot, knock the sesame seeds off with a hammer, and you can grab a handful.
However, after Xia Shiyu peeled open the sesame seed pod, she found that it was full of pure white granules, which were not sesame seeds at all. She even tasted it and found that it was just white sugar, not sesame seeds at all.
"Okay, I knew it wouldn't be that simple."
After saying something helplessly, Xia Shiyu could only diligently harvest sesame seeds.
After peeling all the sesame seeds from a three-meter-tall sesame plant, there were hardly any sesame seeds left.
Xia Shiyu needs to hurry up and organize them, otherwise these thousand will be difficult to handle.
She used a sickle to cut down the sesame seeds one by one, and after all the sesame seeds had fallen, she started frantically pounding them with the sickle.
Fortunately, not all cases are like this; some still have quite a few minor issues.
When Xia Shiyu encounters a lot of sesame seeds, he breathes a sigh of relief and then quickly peels them off.
If this continues, the ground behind Xia Shiyu will be covered with fallen sesame plants.
After she cut down the sesame seeds, she anxiously went to find and pick them up. By the time it got dark, she was so tired that she had almost no strength left.
Fortunately, the task was completed. She felt that she could no longer lift her arms. It was getting more and more tiring each time. She couldn't possibly work without good health.
