Chapter 258: Promise Me a Banana
To open up an orchard, the most important thing is not to open up the land, the land is at your feet, and you will not run in this life, so this matter is not in a hurry.
The most important thing is to find the right fruit tree, have seeds, and then think about other things.
Therefore, Wang Yang immediately ordered everyone, except for Zhang San and others, who were processing charcoal, to divide into several groups and spread in all directions to find fruit trees.
The crowd was so excited that they left immediately.
Wang Yang chose to be in a group with those six people, the reason was that they had survived here for such a long time, and there must have been more places for the fruits of the Zhilu Dao.
Of course, Wang Yang didn't feel at ease to go into the forest with them, what if another beast came and they were afraid to escape?
Therefore, Wang Yang also took three other adults and formed a mighty ten-man brigade with them into the forest.
That's right, a team of ten people is definitely enough, in Wang Yang's opinion, one person can survive in the wild, two people can easily live, and four people can crisscross the forest.
This is not an exaggeration, but the tools they now have at their disposal are enough to keep them at the top of the food chain.
Ten people moved forward quickly, specially choosing a path with few wild grasses and wild flowers, the crisis under their feet was invisible after all, and those poisons were as terrifying as landmines.
Wang Yang once again remembered the meerkat as a small animal, he used to want to catch a few and keep them, and when he traveled, the snakes retreated, which was much easier.
I don't know where to catch the snake's predators.
"Cluster~" The vegetation in the primeval forest is dense, there are plants where there is light, and there are still plants where there is no light, and the end is not to waste an inch of land.
The group advanced for a while, and soon found a land covered with fallen leaves. It's very comfortable to look at.
The unknown is the most frightening, this sentence is absolute. And what is known always makes people feel relaxed.
The people walked on the land. Start focusing your attention on the top.
The huge canopy of trees blocked the sunlight from the wind, and some unknown green and yellow snakes, spitting cores, looked at everyone.
Snakes are basically blind, they can't see, but they can sense their surroundings through the tip of their tongue.
One of the most annoying things in the tropical forest is that there are more snakes, more than there used to be outside the canyon.
This kind of animal Wang Yang hated it in his heart. Maybe it was bitten and there was a shadow.
He doesn't like to see snakes, but these snakes can always survive in the trees and underground, leaving people speechless.
Everyone walked for a while, but they didn't see the fruit tree, Wang Yang couldn't help but stop, drew a picture on the ground, and asked the six people if they were taking everyone to find the fruit.
The six nodded and pointed ahead.
Wang Yang secretly said that he was too anxious. Motioned for everyone to move on.
It didn't take long for them to find a fruit tree!
These fruit trees are not tall and not many, a dozen. Growing on a small hillside, on a curved hillside, there will always be some sunlight leaking. Let certain plants grow, just in time. These dozen or so small fruit trees have taken up a glimmer of life.
The trees are covered with egg-sized fruits, all of which are golden in color. It looks a bit like a mango, but it's rounder than a mango.
Wang Yang didn't know what kind of fruit this was, he didn't particularly like fruits in his previous life, and he had never eaten many fruits.
He stepped forward and plucked one, and the fruit was very light, lighter than a fruit of this size.
The nails pierced the skin and tore outward, revealing the golden flesh inside.
Wang Yang was surprised by the flesh inside, there was no water overflowing, it looked dry, not like a mango at all, but like a ...... Roasted sweet potatoes.
Wang Yang pointed to the fruit and then to his mouth at the six people, and asked if they ate like this?
The six of them smiled and nodded. The others looked at the fruit and added their lips, and wanted to pick it, but they didn't dare to eat it before Wang Yang ate it first, so they could only watch him eat it first.
Take a small bite, and the flesh turns into fine sand in the mouth, a little bit sweet, very dry, not very comfortable to eat, really like a roasted sweet potato, and a little like the yolk of an egg.
Wang Yang frowned, obviously he doesn't like to eat it very much, fruit, it's embarrassing to call it fruit if you don't have a little water?
"It's okay, it's the same as the steamed buns made of wheat." With a wave of his hand, he asked everyone to pick and take it back to plant.
Everyone immediately stepped forward and picked the fruit to eat, as soon as they entered it, they also frowned, it was really not good, it was too dry, if it wasn't for a little sweetness, I really suspected that it was a natural steamed bun.
Because the taste and appearance of this fruit are too similar to egg yolk, Wang Yang decided to call it lucuma.
There is a pit in the middle of the lucuma, no need to guess, this is the seed, Wang Yang asked everyone to take all the dried fruits, not to mention the more, there are still hundreds.
Seeing that the fruit tree didn't look like it had been picked by someone, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and asked the six people: "Since you know that there are fruit trees here, why don't you pick them and eat them?" ”
The six people said that when they found it before, the fruit was not ripe, so they thought about going to other places to see if there were more fruits, and then they met Zhang San and them.
Wang Yang nodded, I see.
With these fruits, Wang Yang looked at the sky and returned to the stream where Zhang San was with everyone.
Xiaohong was divided into groups of three, threesomes and fours, and only one of the three groups picked a fruit.
The fruit was huge, it looked like a basketball, very heavy, dozens of pounds to say the least, the surface was uneven, little by little convex, and the yellow shell was tightly wrapped like a hedgehog.
It looks like a transparent bubble cushion wrapped in goods in the store when I was a child, and I was pinched and popped again and again.
This fruit Wang Yang knows, called jackapple, and I heard that it has the effect of prolonging life...... Well, it is estimated that the merchant said it in order to increase sales.
Looking at such a big jackapple, Wang Yang's eyes smiled like a crescent moon, one is enough for one person to eat for a day.
The location for planting these fruit trees has also been chosen for a long time, and Zhang San and his team have dug up many trees because of the processing of charcoal, and a large open space has appeared, most of which are on the periphery of the forest.
Wang Yang didn't think about it, so he sowed these seeds and planted them on the same day.
In the following days, Wang Yang and others devoted themselves to finding fruits, and found a lot of unknown fruits.
And in the past few days, those six people have gradually realized the ability of Wang Yang and others, and they are particularly fierce, and they can kill a beast without negotiation.
And on this day, he finally found a fruit that Wang Yang was more familiar with.
Banana!
Regardless of whether the bananas are delicious or not, at least it is comfortable to look at the yellow skin.
He and the others carried a lot of hanging, brought them back, and when they were about to eat a few sticks, they suddenly thought, how to grow bananas?
He was stunned for ten seconds, he was really stunned, he had only eaten bananas in his previous life, and he had never heard of how to grow bananas.
The reason is that he has never seen banana seeds!
He tore off one, put it in front of his eyes, and thought suspiciously: "Could it be that you want to bury the whole root and plant it?" Or are bananas pollen-propagated? ”
He thought left and right, his brows twisted into a ball, and he was about to burst his head and didn't understand how to grow bananas.
After the most depressed, he opened the banana and took a bite.
"Huh? Something is wrong! "This bite in the mouth, a bit of a strange feeling, as if ...... Bites into the seeds.
"Got a seed? What's going on? Is this a banana? Wang Yang spit this mouthful in the palm of his hand, looked at the black seeds the size of soybeans inside, and choked speechlessly.
He depressedly put the uneaten banana in his hand and rubbed it, and found that there were more than a dozen black seeds the size of soybeans in this small banana.
And these black seeds are hard!
He was depressed, stunned, and stupid, wondering if he had eaten a variant of banana, so he got up and got into the pile of bananas, opened one after another, rubbed them, and found that each banana was like this, and there were many black seeds in it.
At this moment, Wang Yang was confused and a little stupid.
He asked the six, "Is this the same with the other bananas you eat?" ”
The six people had seen more than one banana tree in the forest, they had eaten all of them, nodded very seriously, looked at Wang Yang strangely, and asked why they were asking.
Where did they think that the impact of seeded bananas on Wang Yang, a modern person, was no different from seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
"Could it be that there is such a banana in the first place, but I have never eaten it in my previous life?"
"Or, in this parallel world, bananas grow differently."
After wasting his strength for a long time, Wang Yang felt that a scientific explanation was still needed, and he suspected that bananas were originally like this, but they were too tiring to eat with seeds, so humans cultivated seedless bananas.
"Well, that's more reliable than evolution."
Due to the large amount of fruit mining, more and more seeds were obtained, and the vacant land that Zhang San and others had opened up in so many days was instantly full of trees, and they could no longer be planted.
Wang Yang was helpless, so he had to dig trees with everyone.
He only digs trees, not charcoal, and now there are too many seeds, and it is necessary to waste some time to process charcoal, no matter how much, first knock them all down!
Time passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye, more than two months had passed.
The orchard opened up by the crowd was very large, reaching an unprecedented scale, 30,000 square meters, equivalent to an area of ten acres.
It sounds big, but it's still not big, it's only ten acres, which is much slower than the speed of opening up wheat fields.
There are also many kinds of fruit trees, not to mention 10 kinds, and the trees planted earlier have sprouted and grown, and when they reach the waist, they are growing very well.
They destroyed all kinds of trees along the way, pushed all the way to the vicinity of sugar cane, and began to plant sugar cane in large quantities.
In this way, the time is another month, and the rainy season is coming.
Wang Yang looked at the fruit trees growing bigger and bigger in front of him and smiled, he was in a happy mood, even if he was drenched into soup chickens, and choked by the rain in his throat, he couldn't stop his laughter.
Because this matter is settled, Wang Yang is ready to do another thing. (To be continued......)
