Chapter 699: A Peculiar Fruit
After about half an hour, Han Xin couldn't bear it anymore, and began to greet Peng Yue and the others, informing the team behind him to get ready to get off the boat!
Wang Li and the others have been gone for more than an hour, and there is no news at all.
I don't know if it's okay, or if there was an accident, I don't even have time to play the signal!
"General, General!"
At this moment, Wang Li and the others happily ran back towards them, each holding a bunch of yellow things in their arms.
Look at that posture, it seems to be in danger, and I am clearly very happy!
"Hoo ......"
Han Nobunaga breathed a sigh of relief and rolled his eyes at the people under the boat.
"Lower the gangway!"
"Yes!"
After receiving Han Xin's order, the navy immediately lowered the ladder so that Wang Li and the others could get on board smoothly.
Wang Li, Fan Hao and others ran up happily, sweating and panting!
"There is no tiger chasing you behind, why are you tired of being like this?"
With their physique, they would definitely not be tired like this after just running these few steps.
If you can make them breathe like this, then it proves that they have run a long way!
In addition, the temperature here is much higher than that of Daqin, and the sweat has already wet the thin shirts on their bodies!
"Whirring ......"
Wang Li and the others' chests rose and fell, gasping heavily, "It's still ...... It's not for you to taste it! ”
Then, the group threw the things they were holding on to the deck.
Looking at the pile of pale yellow, fist-sized, slightly flattened things on the deck, frowning slightly!
This thing, they have a lot of eyes, they have never seen it in Great Qin!
"What is this?"
"I don't know, but it's delicious, and it has a very peculiar taste!"
Wang Li said excitedly.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Han Xin picked up one of them and examined it carefully, "This thing...... It can't be toxic, right? ”
"Oops! You can rest assured, when we went to the shore to investigate, there was no one around, and when we were about to turn back, we suddenly heard what seemed to be movement overhead, and when we looked up, we found that it was a flock of birds, pecking at this fruit! When I think about it, birds are the most astute of animals, and since they are all eating this fruit, it must be delicious! So we picked a few of them and found them very sweet and the taste was very unique! ”
Wang Lixing's future is roughly described.
Han Xinhu looked at the others around him suspiciously, and they all nodded firmly.
"Are you sure there's no one on the shore?"
Normally, even if there are not many people living on the coast of this place, there should be fishermen who go out to sea to fish.
At worst, there must be a few old men fishing, right?
How can there be no one?
"Sure! Pretty sure! ”
A few people are very sure.
If someone is found, the gun in their hand is not vegetarian either, and it will definitely pull the trigger and make a sound!
Since there isn't, then it proves that nothing happened!
"Oops! General Han, just try it, this thing is really delicious! ”
Under Wang Li's strong recommendation, Han Xinhu suspiciously picked up one, looked at it carefully, and made sure that he had never seen it.
I rubbed it twice on my clothes and stuffed it in my mouth!
Suddenly frowned, "Okay, you kid dare to lie to me?" This thing is sweet, but it's very astringent! ”
"Oops! Peeled, you peeled to try! ”
At this time, Wang Li was stuffing fruit into the hands of others, and he didn't pay attention to his movements at all.
I didn't expect this guy to go up directly and take a bite, and he didn't even let go of the skin!
"Still peeling?"
"Yes! Wang Li was the same as you at first, he went up to take a bite, but he spit it out directly, and laughed at those birds for being stupid, leaving insects and not eating them, and eating such unpalatable things! But if you look closely, you can find that those birds only dig out the flesh inside to eat, and when they encounter the peel, they throw it directly to the ground! Only then did we realize that this fruit was to be peeled and eaten! ”
Fan Xu said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll try again!"
Han Xin pinched the peel and tore it slowly.
I thought that such a thin skin would definitely be difficult to peel.
Unexpectedly, with just a slight pull, a piece of peel was torn off!
Take another bite, sweet and soft, with a strange fragrance!
"Hmmm! Sure enough, it was delicious! ”
Han Xin smiled and admired.
Seeing this, the other people who got the fruit did the same.
Peel off the yellow skin on the outside and bite into it.
Then, they all showed an expression of enjoyment!
"Special mother, I really didn't expect that this Peacock Dynasty would have such delicious fruits! It would be nice if we could bring it to our Great Qin, so that the people can also taste it! ”
The fruit brought back by a few people was limited, and after the people who had been given the fruit ate it, they seemed to be unsatisfied, and kept looking towards the shore with their feet worried.
"Isn't that easy? Just like we are in Lingnan, when this Peacock Dynasty is completely defeated, we will make these fruits into cans and bring them back to Xianyang! ”
Meng Yun squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
"It's definitely no problem to make canned food, but you also have to have sugar! As for the ones we brought on the ship, it would be good to be able to boil a pot! ”
Ying Chi divided the fruit by two and stuffed the fruit into his mouth and spit out a thin pit.
"When the time comes, bring as much as you can, go back and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take a look at it, see what kind of fruit it is, and whether it can be planted in my Daqin!" Even if you can't, it doesn't matter, in the future, this Peacock Dynasty will be my Great Qin's territory, you can grow sugar cane here, boil the sugar cane into sugar, and then make this fruit into canned food and bring it back to Great Qin! ”
The big guys were full of confidence, feeling that this Peacock Dynasty was already in the bag, and began to think about what would happen after the destruction of the Peacock Dynasty.
"The climate here is hot, it seems to be on a par with Lingnan, and there is sugarcane here!"
Han Xin looked around and spoke.
"Huh? General Han is right! ”
Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Wang Li, Wang Li? Is there any fruit on the shore? ”
Just as everyone was looking around, Peng Yue slapped Wang Li beside him with his elbow and asked quietly.
"Yes! There are more ...... on the shore! ”
Wang Li pointed to a forest not far away and said, "See? In that forest, it's basically all this stuff! There are quite a few that have fallen to the ground just because they are ripe, and many of them have rotted! It seems that the people here are not uncommon at all! ”
"Haha, that's great!"
This news made Peng Yue happy, and immediately cast a longing glance at Han Xin, "That...... General Han, when are we going to land? ”
Han Xin held a telescope in his hand, glanced around the shore, and after making sure that there was no danger, he spoke, "Send the order, except for the navy stationed on the ship, everyone will follow me off the ship!" ”
"Yes!"
The news made everyone happy.
Now they don't just want to get off the boat and feel down-to-earth.
It's more about wanting to eat that delicious and peculiar fruit!
