"Okay!"

Like cheerful magpies, the two girls responded crisply and began to get busy.

Taking advantage of the boiling water, Qin Song began to inspect the 'vegetable garden', looking for materials that could be used to make the marinade. Most of them are plants with beautiful flowers, which should have been brought by merchants to sell as ornamental plants.

Soon, Qin Song noticed a clear stream among the flowers, and the three green plants that were growing vigorously produced four or five red and full fruits.

Tomato?

Qin Song stretched out his hand to pick it down, put it between his nose and sniffed it, there was a faint sweet and sour taste, it should be a tomato, and he was just about to open it to taste the sweet and sour taste.

In the oblique stab, Luna struck out like a gust of wind and grabbed Qin Song's arm: "Qin, don't eat this!

"What?" Qin Song was stunned for a moment: "What is poisonous?"

"I've seen this thing in the king's capital. Luna pointed to the tomatoes with a look of fear, "This is an ornamental object from Arabe, called the wolf peach." Its fruit just looks beautiful, but it is highly poisonous! ”

"Poisonous?" Qin Song was sure and sure that it was a tomato, or tomato, and looked at Luna's nervous and concerned expression, feeling funny at the same time, he couldn't help but think of an allusion in his heart.

Allusions about tomatoes.

As a good-looking berry, tomatoes were originally thought to be poisonous and were only used for ornamental purposes. As a result, tomatoes lived as ornamental objects until the seventeenth century, when a curious French painter could not resist the temptation, risked his life, tasted it with his own mouth, and lay in bed waiting for death. Then, the news that tomatoes are non-toxic and delicious quickly spread around the world and became a delicious vegetable.

Alice, who was adding firewood, also hurriedly ran over, she had never seen this thing, but she couldn't help but get nervous when she heard Luna say that it was highly poisonous.

Ignorance and ignorance have wasted so much food in nature. If tomatoes were first grown in China, it is estimated that from the time of Shennong's tasting of herbs, it would have been glorious on the table of human beings.

"Luna, have you eaten it?" Qin Song smiled.

Luna shook her head in horror, "If I had eaten it, I wouldn't be standing here." Qin, listen to me, this kind of thing really just looks good...... Ahh

Before Luna could finish her words, Qin Song took a bite of it, and the sweet and sour juice instantly filled his mouth.

It's so fresh!

"It's over, it's over. Luna's whole person was not good, her face turned pale, and her voice trembled: "Qin, spit it out." And maybe ...... Can be saved. ”

Alice was thoughtful, in her eyes, Qin's wisdom was undoubted, he would definitely not do such a stupid thing.

"Alice, do you believe me?" Qin Song noticed Alice's expression and handed over a tomato: "Very delicious fruit." ”

"Well, I believe it. Alice calmly took the tomatoes from his hand, and Luna was about to jump up: "Alice, don't! it's really poisonous......"

With a slight tension on her face, Alice took a slight breath before she gently bit it down and smashed it: "It tastes good." ”

"It's over, it's over, how am I going to explain it to Leah!" Luna was about to break down, and in her eyes, the two of them were dead. This is a terrifying poisonous fruit in the royal capital - wolf peach.

Looking at Luna, who was about to cry in a panic, it was completely genuinely concerned. Qin Song smiled: "Luna, the truth is not hearsay, do you want to taste it?" ”

Luna cried, "That can't be tested by life." I don't eat, even if I am killed and I jump into the river and drown, I will not eat. ”

Tomatoes are poisonous and completely imaginary. However, after this kind of conjecture has been widely disseminated, a consensus has gradually formed, and it has become the so-called universal cognition. It's not that Luna doesn't believe in Qin Song, but in the long-term edification, this kind of cognition is engraved in her bones, especially risking her life, the price is too great.

Destroying a tomato at the speed of light, Qin Song smiled and shook his head, "Luna, the facts will prove everything to you." The knowledge of the ignorant is nothing but ridiculous lies. True knowledge is as precious as gold and can stand the test. ”

"But......" Luna muttered, not knowing how to refute it.

"Remember, Luna, believing the ignorant will only make you more ignorant. Qin Song patted her on the shoulder, walked to the boiling pot by himself, and put the remaining tomatoes in to scald.

Alice confidently eats the tomatoes, "It's really delicious, Luna." I believe in Qin!"

Blanched tomatoes are suitable for making noodles and noodles, but unfortunately in the autumn forest, there are almost no birds laying eggs, otherwise you can have a tomato egg to make noodles.

However, I still have some venison on hand, and I can barely make a tomato stew.

The tomatoes are scalded, simply cut into pieces, and the deer fat is poured into the pot, as if the wild onions are fried to make a fragrance, and the tomatoes are put in turn, fried into a thick soup, put in the venison and salt, cover the pot and start stewing.

Alice actively helped Qin Song with a fight, while Luna stood to the side, keeping her eyes firmly on the two of them, in case they suddenly died of poison.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Qin Song and Alice were still alive, talking and laughing. Luna's confidence begins to waver, and she can't help but ask, "Are you really okay?"

"No, I don't. Alice, who was sitting on a small stool and lighting the fire, smiled: "That kind of what-wolf peach, it's quite delicious." ”

Luna furrowed her brow and pinched her chin, "Could it be chronic poison?"

"Luna?" Qin Song picked two more tomatoes from the vegetable garden, came to Luna, and gently broke them open, revealing the seeds inside: "Tell me, what did you see?"

"Juice...... And this, seeds?"

"Yes. These are the knowledge. Qin Song patiently explained: "In nature, many fruits are not all like mushrooms, the brighter they are, the more toxic they are, and mushrooms are not edible as they seem ordinary. And the wolf peach you are talking about is one of them. Their fruit contains seeds, and in order for these seeds to be spread elsewhere to grow, some help is needed. ”

"Help?" Luna froze.

"Even plants are trying to keep their populations thriving. Qin Song nodded: "They need some kind creatures to bring the seeds to other places." The easiest way to do this is to attract other creatures and eat their fruits. Then through the dung, the seeds can be sown elsewhere. So, their fruit needs to be delicious in order to attract more animals. ”

Alice was listening intently, too, and it sounded simple, even a little dirty, but it made perfect sense to her.

"Huh?" Luna's mouth grew in surprise, "I see...... Is that so?"

"The knowledge of nature is never directly presented to you. But in the wisdom of the great gods, each of them possesses wonderful knowledge to keep the population alive. Dissect them, dissect nature, in order to gain knowledge. ”

Luna remembered Elena's description that flowers did grow from horses' droppings.

"Monkeys will pick peaches from peach trees and eat the flesh. Those pits are thrown away, buried in the soil, and new peach trees grow. ”

"Isn't that okay with just falling to the ground?" Luna's perception faltered.

"Luna, that's a different kind of knowledge. Come on, Luna. Qin Song walked to the vegetable garden and pointed to the plants: "The earth provides nutrients for the growth of plants. For the same size of land, nutrition is limited, and the more plants gathered together, it means that everyone will share less nutrients, and they will not grow well. Only with a reasonable interval and a reasonable number of plantings can we reasonably absorb the nutrients of the earth. ”

Luna's farming skills are very important. Therefore, Qin Songcai borrowed tomatoes to explain the truth of planting to her, accumulate knowledge, and pave the way for her future.

Luna muttered to herself, "Is that so? Is this the knowledge of nature?"

Thinking about it, Luna suddenly remembered those corns, and couldn't help but ask, "Qin, I have planted corn, but many of them have not borne fruit. Is that the reason for this? Is it too dense, so everybody's nourishment is reduced? But, strangely, I also grow wheat very intensively, and this doesn't happen. ”

"Luna, because your divine power and the nourishment of the earth are different. Qin Song shook his head and said, "There is another reason why corn can't bear fruit. ”

Wheat is self-pollinating, and it can be pollinated spontaneously under the nourishment of divine power. Corn, on the other hand, is cross-pollinated, so it needs the help of wind or time.

As for tomatoes – they are also self-pollinating to produce fruit.

Originally, it was a good food dinner, but because of a tomato, Qin Song became a teaching class.

"Luna, learn to observe nature carefully and carefully, and you will gain a lot of insight. Remember, audacity is not advisable and can be costly. ”

Qin Song was really a little afraid that Luna's brain would twitch, so he would follow Shennong's example and taste the herbs......
