"This thing has no medicinal properties.
"It is a part of the leaves that couldn't adapt to the environment, consuming nutrients in vain, but has no benefit for the tree's growth.
"If it has any merit, its texture is really tender! Its taste is really fresh!
"Bring it back to the cafeteria, marinate it with soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, sesame, minced garlic, Sichuan pepper, and chili oil; it will be especially delicious!"
Snow Exploration Claw took a gulp of saliva, with a serious expression, fixating on the leaf in the master's hand, looking left and right.
It fiddled with its Fox Claw, calculating today's picking task... estimating that by mid-afternoon, all would be picked!
It instantly beamed with joy, grabbing the leaf from the master's hand.
"Ying ying ying, ao ao ao!"
Before this evening, not a single long leaf would remain in this ironwood apricot grove!
...
The night was deep, the wind howling.
