Chapter 328: Delicious Milk Fruit
Chapter 328: Delicious Milk Fruit "It's up to their arrows." Daddy Bran explained with a smile, "Every spring, we put the seeds of grain in bags and hang them on arrows, and when they shoot out, they will be interrupted by the ancient trees of the perched armor, and the seeds in those bags will be sown under the ancient trees. ”
Lin Xian'er was puzzled: "Don't you need to fertilize and remove insects?"
Liang Xi can help her answer this question: "There is no need to remove insects, because the insects that dare to approach the ancient tree of perched armor are crushed by them, and there is no need for fertilization, the whole body of the ancient tree of perched armor is full of wood spiritual energy, this is the best fertilizer." ”
Daddy Blann nodded, indicating that Liang Xi was right.
"Then how do you harvest it?" Lin Xian'er looked intently, and saw that there were indeed half-human-tall green plants growing under those ancient trees, rows waving in the wind, but she couldn't see what they were.
Animals close to the ancient trees will be knocked away by them, even if they are copper and iron, it is estimated that they will be flattened, and none of the people who have just come to Sweet Potato City can answer.
Even the smart Liang Xi fell silent at the moment.
Father Blan smiled and said, "You pay attention to those ancient armored trees, you will know soon." ”
Everyone's eyes were on the lush ancient perched trees, their thick branches were still like giant pythons rolling and entangled, but Liang Xi soon realized one thing: although those branches seemed to be dancing violently, they never touched the crops below them, and sometimes they even deliberately avoided them!
"What's going on? Is there still this kind of spirituality?" Liang Xi had a big doubt in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to ask Daddy Bulan, when he suddenly saw the thick branches of the ancient tree of Qi Armor prying a few times on the crops, and a bunch of black ones flew over like locusts.
"I'll rub it, what is that!" Liang Xi was startled, thinking that it was a hidden weapon from the ancient tree of Qi Armor, and he was about to pull out the Kanshui blade subconsciously.
But the villagers standing on both sides seemed to have been prepared, and they had been connecting the steel pipes one by one, and now when they saw the black things flying, they unhurriedly inserted two pipes about five meters high into the ground, and then two nimble village names climbed up and hung a net on it, and this net was blocked in front of everyone.
Because the flying speed of those black things was not fast, they were already falling in mid-air, and after being stopped by this layer of nets, they fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
The sweet and sour taste became more and more intense as these things increased, and the gluttonous worms in the stomach stirred restlessly.
"What are these?" asked Marku as he waited for the villagers to remove the net.
Qin Anyu proudly picked up one and said, "Welcome to taste the specialty of the Sangqu River, we all call it milk fruit." ”
"Can this be eaten directly?" Erya picked up a small hand and looked at it curiously.
The milk fruit is black and looks like a large bunch of grapes crushed into a whole piece, which is not spectacular, but the sweet smell that emanates from it is quite appetizing.
Liang Xi picked one up and put it under his nose and sniffed it, wiped it on the hem of his clothes indiscriminately and stuffed it into his mouth.
There was a crisp click, and when his teeth just bit open the skin of the milk fruit, a stream of cool and sweet juice poured into his mouth, the taste was sweet but not greasy, and it was very delicious.
After biting the black skin, there was a snow-white fruit pulp inside, and Liang Xi chewed it heavily, making a loud noise.
Everyone watched Liang Xi eat the milk fruit in his hand in two bites, waiting for him to comment on the taste.
Liang Xi looked around at the group of people around him, and did not say a word, but stretched out his hand to the second milk fruit.
After the second one had eaten, he unceremoniously reached for the third......
There was a lot of juice in the milk fruit, and the fruit almost didn't feel full when it was eaten, and when Liang Xi stretched out his claws to the seventh milk fruit, everyone didn't need him to comment anymore, and they who had already been seduced by the stomach worms to rebel rushed up, and everyone took a big bite and gnawed it.
The crocodile tribesmen relied on their height and strength to grab a handful with one hand.
In their hands, milk fruit about the size of an adult's palm is like an ordinary person pinching a strawberry.
Originally, they didn't like this thing to be too small, and it wasn't even enough to stuff their teeth, but when they ate one, everyone saw that they were staring at the ancient tree in the distance with bad intentions.
If it weren't for the violent, ancient trees guarding them, they would probably not be tempted to run over and feast.
Marku and the bandits who had been reduced to long-term labor gnawed and laughed, and their faces were covered with juice.
The lord's wife and the lord's wife-to-be ate in small gulps, their eyes curled like crescent moons.
Liang Xi swallowed nine times in a row before stopping, burping happily.
Seeing that everyone was eating happily, Daddy Bulan and Qin Anyu looked at each other and smiled, and they also felt extremely happy in their hearts.
"One milk fruit contains the energy that an adult warrior needs for a whole day, Liang Xi, you just ate nine, so it doesn't matter if you eat or not for the next nine days. Daddy Blan happily watched as the gang ate the freshly harvested milk fruit cleanly.
"So powerful?" Liang Xi said in surprise, and then looked thoughtfully at the ancient tree in the distance, "Rely on the ancient tree to protect the crops, rely on the ancient tree to grow crops, and finally rely on the ancient tree to harvest crops, Dad, you really have a way!"
Hearing Liang Xi's praise, Daddy Bulan just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
Qin Anyu was very happy, and said: "That's natural, Daddy Bulan is the most famous elder on the banks of our Sangqu River, and he knows almost everything!"
The rest of the people all looked at Daddy Bulan with admiration, only Liang Daguan looked at the old man and smiled.
Next, Daddy Blanc introduced the rest of the uses of milk fruit.
"It can be put in the house to get rid of the peculiar smell, and after drying, the milk fruit will lose its sweet and sour taste, and then chop and grind it into flour, which is similar to ordinary flour, and can be used to knead dough and make dumplings. ”
"If you put the fruit on the fire and roast it, the oil will drip down, and the oil can be used to stir-fry or start a fire. ”
Liang Xi nodded again and again when he heard this.
This plant can only grow on saline-alkali land, and in the past days, because the banks of the Sangqu River were inaccessible, so it has not been spread to the outside.
Now Liang Xi has found another opportunity to make a fortune.
When he turned his head again to look at the half-human-tall plants a hundred meters behind him, Liang Xi seemed to see a lump of gold ingots beckoning to him.
The golden light in Liang Xi's eyes also startled the people next to him, but of course they hadn't discovered the business opportunities yet.
In addition to the staple food of milk fruit, other plant crops in Sweet Potato City are extremely limited.
The dozen or so crops mentioned earlier actually have very little soil for them to grow, so the supply is very small.
"This is a reservoir of clear water, and this is a pond where fish swim from the Sangqu River. Daddy Bran led them all the way over.
These fish are fat and large, swimming around in the pool.
"It seems that in the future, our daily food will be milk fruit and these sea fish, and sometimes sea crabs. Lin Xian'er counted with her fingers, "The rest of the vegetables are rarely edible." ”
Compared with the sumptuous food in Tianlingmen, there are indeed fewer varieties here.
"Not necessarily. After Lin Xian'er finished speaking, Liang Daguan took out a small cloth bag from the space storage ring.
