Koohii Story 1 Tip: bonsai and wheat are later combined into Manchu dynasty (#2877). Story: I come across lots of trees all planted in the Manchu dynasty. Then I notice every single one is a hazel tree. I wonder why? In the Manchu dynasty people must have been hazel nuts.
Koohii Story 2 "I love hazelnuts so much that I had a hazel tree installed in my backyard. Mostly it's just for decoration, like a bonsai plant, but I harvest it like wheat every so often: there's just nothing better than homemade Nutella."
