"Get one and try it!" Kong Yi said with some excitement.

When a soldier heard this, he ran over, took the largest one from the pile of fruits, smashed it open and handed it to Kong Yi.

Looking at the white flesh that had broken into small pieces inside, Kong Yi moved his index finger, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it.

Kong Yi frowned, this taste can't be said to be delicious, nor can it be said to be undelicious, it tastes gentlemanly and weird when it is dry.

"Total, is this thing delicious?" Shi Hu asked expectantly.

Kong Yi pursed his lips and said, "The taste is average, but this thing should be able to manage the full, and when there is no food, you can use this thing to satisfy your hunger, you can also take a few to taste!" ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at the pile of fruits with suspicious faces, each picked up one and tasted it, and then their expressions became the same as Kong Yi, and they put down the fruit after eating a few bites.

"After all my efforts, I thought this fruit was delicious." Shi Hu sighed and said.

"It can't be said that the effort is in vain, as long as it can be eaten, it is useful, so be it! When the ore is delivered, load some and bring it back to the leader to taste. Kong Yi said.

The crowd nodded, and it didn't take long for them to disperse.

The slaves worked in sweat under the scorching sun, and every now and then one or two would fall to the ground due to weakness.

In order to waste valuable slave resources, Kong Yi did not let the soldiers put these fallen slaves to death, but ordered someone to drag them out, tie them with ropes, and throw them in a cool place.

After four days of work on the pit, the prison where the slaves were held was finally completed, and after the wooden fence was fastened to the pit, the soldiers drove all the slaves in.

With the prison to hold these slaves, the soldiers can be said to be completely relaxed, although they do not have to do these manual work, but it is also a very draining thing to stare at these slaves who may riot at any time with high mental tension.

On this day, the soldiers sent by Kong Yi to deliver the message also arrived here.

The herald, after seeing Kong Yi, saluted Kong Yixing, and then told Kong Yi about the reward set by Wang Lang.

When the soldiers heard the good news, they immediately boiled.

At night, Kong Yi took a good look at the two heralds, and the copper mine camp carnivaled all night.

Before the heralds left, Kong Yi had seven or eight breadtree fruits plucked from the tree and asked them to bring them back to Wang Lang.

Salt Village, Forest Fire Camp.

The road is still under construction, and at the moment the passage carved out in the jungle is already seven or eight hundred meters long, and after the roots of the trees have been dug out, they have left a series of dirt pits on the road, which look like spots on the body of a measles patient.

The big trees fell one by one, so frightened that the surrounding beasts did not dare to appear in this vicinity at all, only the ubiquitous insects were not afraid of the barbaric invasion of humans.

"General, according to the speed, it will be four or five days before we can reach the place where the cucumbers grow." A soldier reported.

Lin Huo nodded and said, "Work harder, we can rest for a day or two when the road is repaired, this place is full of insects, it's really enough." ”

The soldier nodded and said, "General! We're here to go, and you can go back to the tribe and rest for a while. ”

Lin Huo looked at the situation of the slaves, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you here, what kind of mess will happen." ”

"Don't worry, general, whether it's a beast or this group of slaves, as long as they dare to come over and make trouble, the spears in our hands can also see blood." The soldier laughed.

After a few words, Lin Huo took two soldiers and returned to the tribe through this potholed road.

At this time, in the tribe, Wang Lang was curiously looking at the breadtree fruit brought back by the messenger soldiers.

Wang Lang opened one and tasted it, his eyes suddenly lit up, the amount of starch contained in this fruit was beyond his imagination.

"I see, no wonder this thing is called a bread tree, so much starch baked out must be bread, if you put some baking powder and steam it out, it will be a steamed bun!"

Wang Lang immediately understood why this tree was called the bread tree.

The largest of these fruits is like a leaf, and the small one is the size of a fist, which is simply a treasure in Wang Lang's eyes.

So much starch, as long as it is dried and crushed, it is natural flour, and after eating millet for so long, Wang Lang almost forgot what the taste of pasta is.

At this time, the forest fire also returned to the tribe from the camp.

Lin Huo was about to report the progress of the project to Wang Lang, but found that Wang Lang was engrossed in fiddling with the strange fruits on the ground, and he didn't even notice that he had come over.

"Lang, what are these things?" Lin Huo asked curiously.

Wang Lang looked up and saw that it was Lin Huo who had returned, and hurriedly said, "You came just in time, Kong Yi and they got good things." ”

"Is that the fruit?" Lin Huo asked in surprise.

Wang Lang nodded and said, "That's it, these are all good things, and we will be able to eat delicious food again in the future." ”

Lin Huo was overjoyed, picked up a fruit from the ground and knocked it, and after finding that the fruit shell was very hard, he picked up a stone and smashed the fruit shell open in a few clicks.

After eating a few bites, Lin Huo frowned and said, "This thing is average, it's far worse than the kind of fruit we ate before." ”

Wang Lang said with a smile: "The most needed use of this thing is not to eat it raw, there is another way to eat it." ”

Lin Huo was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "What is the way to eat?" ”

Wang Lang smiled mysteriously and said: "There are not many of these fruits, so I won't give them to others, call Kong Er at night, and the three of us will taste the taste of this fruit tonight." ”

Seeing Wang Lang so confident, Lin Huo suddenly felt itchy and unbearable, and whispered: "Don't you call it bark?" ”

"Don't call him, it's going to take more than a day for this guy to come back, and I can't wait to eat this." Wang Lang swallowed his saliva, looking at these fruits and saliva was about to flow out.

Seeing Wang Lang, who was very calm in the face of anything, actually looked so greedy, Lin Huo was even more curious about this thing, and he didn't know a few when he saw this thing, and felt that what Wang Lang said made sense, what to do with the bark, try it first.

"What are you going to do with this thing?" Lin Huo asked.

"You go find some wide leaves to come back now." Wang Lang commanded.

When Lin Huo heard this, he didn't care what he was looking for leaves, so he hurriedly got up and brought a few soldiers back at the edge of the deep forest to get a bunch of wide plant leaves.

"Lang, is this enough?" Lin Huo said excitedly.

"That's enough, now smash all these fruits open and put the flesh inside on the leaves." Wang Lang said.
