Walking back with the basket, Xu Yi took out one casually, and tore off the layer of dry sepals that were slightly transparent, covered with fine and irregular nets like a fishing net, and the fruit inside was exposed.

The fruit of the false sour berry is about the size of a thumb's belly, and the skin on the outside is slightly lignified, and it is hard to the touch, almost as little as a tobacco peach.

Of course, although it is also a Solanaceae capsule, the fruit of the false sour berry is still very different from the smoked peach.

When ripe, the peach is brownish-red and exudes a bitter taste peculiar to tobacco, but the fruit of the false sour berry is pale yellow and has no taste.

And this fruit is not only much larger than the smoked peach, but also the shape is not exactly the same. The top of the peach is a semi-curved cone, and the bottom is also rounded, but the arc is larger, and the whole looks like an egg, but the top of the fruit is flatter and looks more like a small tomato.

Xu Yi pinched the fruit in his hand and shook it gently in his ear, and he could hear a soft rustling sound from the inside of the husk - it was obvious that the fruit had been completely dried.

I just wanted to crush it in front of him, but then Xu Yi changed his mind, took out a piece of toilet paper and put it at the bottom of the bamboo plaque next to him, and then grabbed the fruit close to the paper and pinched it hard.

There are countless tiny seeds in the peaches, and this thing is the same nine times out of ten, if it is accidentally scattered everywhere, it will have to be pulled down again when the time comes, and then there is really nothing to do.

The fragile peel crumbled into irregular pieces with a soft click, and the fruit cracked, and countless oblate, brownish-red seeds fell from the husk. Make a small pile in the middle of the paper.

The seeds look bigger than the ones that were planted. It's also fuller. Each one looks good.

Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction.

The quality of this thing seems to be much better than expected, there are four or five hundred seeds in this one fruit, so many seeds, you must not use them to grow them yourself!

If you really plant all of this seed, I'm afraid that there will be a lot left after planting all the area of this space, and these seeds will definitely not be used for your own experiments!

Xu Yi happily took out a piece of paper and wrapped the seeds and broken fruit shells in his hand and put them in the bamboo plaque. It's too small, just in case

False sour pulp is not a native plant in the first place. can be naturalized into wild plants in Yungui, which shows the fecundity and survivability of this thing. If you are not careful, this will be everywhere in this space in the future, then I don't know how much trouble Lu Dao will bring to you.

After Xu Yi checked it, he carefully wrapped the seeds and threw them in the bamboo plaque, squatted on the ground and tore off the sepals of the fruit in the basket, and put the fruit in the bamboo plaque.

Just wait for them to dry, and then remove the shells and impurities, and he can start experimenting.

The sepals on the outside of some fruits are not completely dry, and I think that the inside of this shell must not be dry. If you don't dry it and peel it off directly, it may not be clean.

It doesn't matter if you waste some seeds. It's just that this kind of seed is dry and wet, so naturally there is no way to ensure the stability of the material ratio during the experiment, and there is no way to operate according to this result, and the quality of the finished product can be uniform.

After being busy for a long time, Xu Yi picked and cleaned up all the ice powder fruits, and the two bamboo plaques on the shelves were also full.

Scattered these fruits in a few bamboo plaques, Xu Yi went back to look at the tea leaves again but helplessly found that the tea buds were still firm, the leaves were still fresh and tender, and it seemed that the tea leaves were still early from becoming soft!

Xu Yi has always been very satisfied with the freshness effect in this space, like the chili peppers eaten at noon are still picked in the middle of the night, and after being left for so long, it is still the same as just picking them when they are stir-fried at noon.

If you put it at home, I'm afraid that if it's so hot, all these peppers will have to wilt, where can it be so fresh.

However, it is always said that the old revolution encountered new problems, and the result of this preservation effect was too good, but it made him hit a nail that was neither soft nor hard in the first step of making tea.

Xu Yi looked at those tea leaves helplessly, and then went to find something else to do, the tea leaves could not be processed, and it was not a good way to wait stupidly.

The mint is growing more luxuriantly than the last time I saw it, and countless stolons are emanating from the roots and spreading in all directions. Even the vacant land where there was a shortage of seedlings was encroached upon by the surrounding mint, and it is almost impossible to see if you don't look closely.

The first erect stems have also become bare poles, crowned with clusters of fruit at the top, showing off their fruits.

However, there are already more new erect stems around them, and they do not appear to stand alone because of the absence of flowers and leaves.

Clusters of purple flowers bloomed on the newly grown upright stems, and the intoxicating aroma in the air was even stronger than before.

Swarms of bees are busy shuttling between the branches and leaves, adding a touch of lively charm to the field.

Xu Yi reached out and folded off a dry upright stem and looked at the spike on it.

After the flowers are gone, the flowers have fallen off, and only the dry sepals are left on the fruit spikes, stretching diagonally above the fruit like small wine glasses.

Xu Yi reached out and picked a few bunches of dried fruit ears, put them in the palm of his hand and crushed them with his fingers, breaking off the sepals on them, wanting to see how the seeds were doing.

Pushing aside those fine sepals, Xu Yi was stunned to find that there was nothing left in his palm, and there was not a single seed in these sepals!

Did it fall to the ground?

Xu Yi bent down to push aside the mint tree beside him, only to find that there was nothing under the mint, and all the stolons were completely emanating from the taproot.

Xu Yi's heart moved, and he casually turned over a few dirt on the ground, and then got up and brought a bucket of space water over and poured it on the ground that had just been turned.

The water quickly spread and seeped silently into the ground, but nothing changed.

It doesn't look like that, is it because there is no pollination?

Xu Yi thought so, and then broke off some of the freshly fallen fruit spikes from the erect stem next to him, and carefully broke them open to examine.

After seeing the results, Xu Yi took down a few more blooming flowers and checked them, and then threw away all the fruit ears in disappointment.

The newly flowered ears do have white round seeds that are much smaller than millet grains, but as the flowering period progresses, the seeds in them do not grow, but become smaller and smaller, and by the time the sepals on the outside begin to dry, the seeds in them have completely disappeared, and the mint does not bear seeds at all!

Subsequently, Xu Yi was also relieved, this peppermint was originally a plant formed by the cross of green peppermint and water mint, and even Linnaeus, the discoverer of peppermint, mistakenly thought it was a new species.

Or in the process of this hybridization, there is some reproductive isolation so that this thing cannot be propagated by seeds.

Whether this is the reason or not is not clear to Xu Yi, but his plan to grow mint from seeds has completely failed.

Xu Yi sighed, it seems that this thing has to continue to be cultivated by cuttings, and it seems that this piece of mint can only be used as a ration for bees.

Fortunately, these mints are now thriving, with numerous stolons, and countless cuttings can be obtained without breaking the muscles and bones.

Taking the sickle, Xu Yi cut a large stoloner around these mints, and cut a piece of mint on almost an acre of land.

Xu Yi just watered these mints with the remaining tap water in the vat, and did not water the space water, otherwise there would be too many flower spikes mixed in it, which would really affect the mint harvest at that time.

Xu Yi also sorted out the remaining cuttings, and brought out the space together with the bamboo seedlings that were dug up yesterday.

casually went to the supermarket and bought a bottle of soy sauce, and Xu Yi walked home with it.

The streets are still deserted, and it is obvious that no one will notice that he is busy in the yard, and even if someone sees it after a while, he has countless excuses.

Naturally, the bamboo should be planted under the root of the wall in the south, and the bamboo will live, or it will have to be cleaned regularly in the future, so that the bamboo whip will spread to the vegetable field.

The vegetable garden that had been turned over earlier was still soft, Xu Yi took a pickaxe and smashed some of the soil clods on the surface, and then began to cut them, filling all the open spaces in the vegetable garden with mint.

After plugging it in, Xu Yi took a watering can to water them thoroughly, and the rest could only be left to fate. Cuttings at noon, and not putting a shade net on them, presumably this will seriously affect the survival rate of mint.

Xu Yi doesn't care too much if it's not enough, anyway, he can live as much as he wants, and then transplant it together again after he survives, so that it can also be easy to manage, and at the same time, he can also plant some cabbage or something in the vegetable garden, anyway, this vegetable garden is just a cover.

Of course, even so, Xu Yi still watered them again in the morning and evening before the results came out, this thing was of little use to himself, but wouldn't it be nice if he could survive more.

Hurriedly returning to the space, Xu Yi went to check the fish eggs first.

The black line inside the fish egg became more and more obvious, and you could even see that there were very slender burrs symmetrically distributed on both sides, which could be the ribs of the small fish.

It can be seen that most of the eggs have begun to deform and change in the direction of the triangle, but none of them have fully hatched.

The tea leaves are still almost the same as they were, which couldn't help but make Xu Yi a little frustrated, if this drags on, he will have to collide with the fish fry.

However, Xu Yi didn't want to throw them directly into the pot casually, after all, he wanted to be familiar with the process of roasting tea, which was not like the taste of tea leaves.

Anyway, the original purpose of stir-frying Longjing tea was to let the grass in the tea dissipate and reduce the bitter taste of the tea, so as to better highlight the tea aroma.

In this way, it can also increase the content of amino acids, improve the fresh taste of tea when soaking, and improve the quality of tea.

I just threw it into the pot and fried it, but I was afraid that this tea would not be able to drink it at all, and it would be no different from soaking leaves. (To be continued......)

PS: I ordered a few books and found that there was a small label of full attendance, so I knew that there was a new full attendance in the road. Okay, let's apply for one too. Of course, it's not for the money, it's just an attitude.
