Chapter 500: Wonderful Plants
Ye Xi looked at the dozen or so bulging animal skin bags left on the ground and asked,
"Are the rest of these seeds?"
Chief Ye stood up: "It's not all. ”
As he spoke, he pulled out the bone knife stuck in his waist, bent down and completely cut a bag made of python skin, and then used the tip of the knife to poof, and poof, a small hole in each animal skin bag.
A few tiny seeds burst out of the hole.
Chief Ye grabbed the small seed that had leaked out into the palm of his hand with his rough hands, and then pulled out a wilting green-purple cabbage from the python skin bag.
The plant was apparently crushed all the way, the leaves crumpled and shrunk together, and the juice was squeezed out of the ends.
But you can still tell that the leaves of this vegetable are green on one side and purple on the other, and the appearance is very magical.
Ye Xi sighed: "Purple back?"
"Purple-backed cabbage?"
Chief Ye was stunned, and then slapped his thigh and said happily: "This name is much better than that of the nine workers, they call this a two-sided dish!"
"Look, these little black seeds are their seeds!"
"This dish can be boiled and eaten, the taste is not good or bad, but it has a strong hemostatic effect, I tried to chew its leaves and apply it to the wound, and the bleeding can be stopped immediately, the effect is very good!"
Ye Xi was a little suspicious when he heard this, and he admitted his mistake.
Did the purple-backed cabbage in the previous life have such a strong hemostatic effect?
But it doesn't matter, Ye Xi praised: "Okay, this two-sided dish is quite practical, it can be used as a wound medicine with Sanqi in the future, and it can be equipped with a copy for every soldier who goes out." ”
Chief Ye put the purple back down and took out a thin stick from the snakeskin bag.
The stick has a yellowish-brown skin, a slightly wrinkled epidermis, thin fibrous roots, and a white cross-section, which looks very familiar.
Ye Xi raised his eyebrows.
Isn't this a fine version of yam?
Chief Ye took this yam and said: "The people of the Jiugong tribe call this white clay stick, you have to peel it and cook it to eat, otherwise you will be poisoned, the meat inside is very tender and crispy, and it tastes good." ”
"This white clay stick can also treat physical ailments. ”
"The tribe that doesn't have a witch doctor likes to buy these white clay sticks very much, if you encounter any small problems in your body, cook a pot of white clay stick soup, drink it all hot, and wake up tomorrow to ensure that all the pain is gone!"
Ye Xi thought silently after hearing this.
The yam in the previous life was definitely not so strong......
Well, these are all crops grown by the Jiugong tribe, they must have been screened and screened, and they won't grow some useless ordinary vegetables, and he can't look at them with the same eyes as before.
However, this prehistoric enhanced version of yam is also very much needed for Xicheng.
Although there are now seven doctors and witches in Xicheng, the population of Xicheng is nearly 40,000, which is still not enough. Moreover, some clansmen would rather endure any illness themselves than trouble a high-ranking witch.
Now that the patient has a way to solve it on his own, it is naturally better.
Ye Xi bowed his head lightly and said,
"You picked this white stick well, but the name is not very worthy of it, so let's call it yam in the future. ”
Chief Ye patted the yam with soil in his palm, and laughed: "Okay, just call it yam!
Chief Ye put the yam back into the snakeskin bag, smiled and took out a grapefruit-sized snow-white cabbage from it, and handed it to Ye Xi.
Ye Xi looked at the ball vegetables in his palm, thought about it, and now he couldn't find any vegetables similar to it in his previous life.
If you have to put it on, then it is somewhat similar to cabbage, it is ball-shaped, and the leaves are wrapped layer by layer, but its leaves are very thin and white.
Ye Xi flipped the dishes in his hand and asked, "What is this called?"
"Oh, this is a new crop from the Jiugong Tribe, called Curly Cabbage!"
"It's actually huge!" Chief Ye excitedly gestured at his waist, "It's so tall! it's too big to carry, so I stripped off most of its leaves." ”
"Their leaves are both edible and can be used in place of parchment rolls!"
Ye Xiqi said: "Oh? can it be used instead of a parchment roll?"
Chief Ye took out a roll of white rolling paper from his arms: "This is it! As long as the leaves of the cabbage are thoroughly dried, it will become very thin, as thin as insect wings! The people of the Nine Workers stacked several layers of cabbage leaves on top of each other and glued them together with transparent tree glue to replace the parchment rolls!"
"Dried vegetable leaves are now very popular in Jiugong, and the new maps are made from these leaves. ”
Ye Xi took the snow-white "vegetable paper" from Chief Ye's hand and carefully tore a small piece from the corner. It was found that the single-layer "vegetable paper" was indeed as thin as a cicada's wings.
Some are like the veins of Bodhi leaves bleached and dyed white, and some are like the texture of a sand tent, so that about ten layers of "vegetable paper" are superimposed together, which is indeed much better and easier to use than parchment paper.
But compared to the artificial paper of the previous life, it pales in comparison.
After Chief Ye finished his introduction, he kept staring at Ye Xi with burning eyes.
However, Ye Xi did not show the curious expression that people usually show when they first saw the "vegetable paper", and it didn't take long to return the "vegetable paper" to Chief Ye calmly.
Ye Xi smiled and said, "Okay, this ball dish is also good, very practical." ”
Chief Ye repeatedly observed Ye Xi's expression, and found that Ye Xi was really not excited by this snow-white "vegetable paper", scratched his head, put this thing back, and took out a few things from the snakeskin bag.
One is bamboo shoots.
The skin of this bamboo shoot is black and purple, and the bamboo is slender and dwarf when it grows up, and the bamboo leaves are also purple. The bamboo shoot flesh of this purple bamboo has the effect of enhancing strength, and the bamboo pole is very hard enough to make it into a weapon, and the bamboo pole that is more than ten years old is extremely hard.
One is called spray seed melon.
This melon is like a big black lead ball, heavy, there is a round hole at the bottom, when it is ripe, it will spray seeds from this hole crazily, this seed is very delicious, fried in oil is particularly fragrant, has the effect of bright eyes.
One is called the Blue Juice Column.
This melon is a product of arid regions, some resemble giant cactus pillars, with hard skin and no thorns, and a stab will flow out blue juice, which can be drunk to cool off the heat, and drip into the ears to enhance hearing.
All plants are not ordinary plants, and they all have their own functions.
After listening to Chief Ye's introduction, Ye Xi nodded with satisfaction: "You chose very well, this trip was not in vain." ”
Chief Ye said with some pain: "It's just that there are a lot of flowers, and all the seeds add up to a total of three king beast cores and eight barbarian beast cores!"
To be honest, his heart was dripping blood when he bought it, but when he thought that Ye Xi had told him when he was leaving, he would have to buy back the good seeds he encountered at any cost, and finally gritted his teeth and bought them.
Ye Xi patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "These are nothing, what we will gain in the future will far exceed what we have paid this time." ”
Chief Ye said solemnly: "I will definitely take good care of them." ”
Now the farmland in Xicheng is mainly responsible for the Ye tribe, and if such an expensive seed is not planted, he will vomit blood in distress.
Ye Xi nodded, and said to the Ye tribesmen around him, "Put away these seeds." ”
Several Ye tribesmen immediately ran over to carefully collect the seeds on the ground and carried them elsewhere.
Ye Xi finished processing the things brought by the five people this time, and saw that they were still sullen in Pingyao, so he beckoned to them and said with a smile,
"Here, I'll give you something good!"
