Chapter 57: Preparations for the Winter Season (5)

As if sensing Wolf Yu's unhappiness, Neil quickly stood up to say hello.

They had already packed up, and each orc carried a bag of hides. Some of the strong orcs carried two or three leather bags on their backs, which contained all the supplies of the tribe.

Wolf Yu and the others did not go with the people of the Flower Cat Tribe, and after explaining that they went to the Sky Wolf Tribe on their own, they took the orcs of the Sky Wolf Tribe to patrol around.

Although they were a little puzzled about what Wolf Yu and his party were looking around, they had already taken everything they should have brought from the tribe, so no one cared too much.

"Let's go, go over and have a look!" Di Mu vaguely saw a few familiar fruits emerging from the bushes, which were very similar to a kind of fruit on the blue star, which should be sea buckthorn fruit.

If you look closer, it's sea buckthorn!

Sea buckthorn is a deciduous shrub that also has trees, ranging from 1.5 to 18 meters in height. The branches are gray-black and stout, and the leaves are large and golden-yellow. Sea buckthorn fruits are mostly apical or lateral, in clusters. The fruit is spherical and yellow or orange-red. Ripe sea buckthorn fruit has a sweet and sour taste with a faint orange flavor, which can not only be eaten as a fruit but also has great medicinal value.

Seeing Di Mu's eyes shining brightly at the small fruit in front of him, everyone also became very interested in it: "Di Mu, what is this?" Can you eat it? ”

Di Mu was a little happy: "Of course you can eat it!" This is a good thing, not only can relieve cough and phlegm, eliminate appetite, but also have a miraculous effect on the treatment of burns, scalds, and knife wounds. In addition, sea buckthorn fruit is rich in vitamin C and other nutrients, which can regulate skin metabolism and maintain a certain elasticity, so as to achieve a beauty effect, and sea buckthorn leaves can also be used to make tea. ”

Everyone was excited to hear that sea buckthorn had so many uses.

"But, Di Mu, what is that dimensional element you are talking about? What is beauty? Everyone was a little confused by the new words that appeared in Di Mu's words.

Di Mu said that it was too difficult to explain, anyway, just know that sea buckthorn is a good thing, and wait for the future when the school in the tribe is opened.

Hearing Di Mu mention the school, Wolf Yu couldn't help but think of the scene where the wooden house disappeared in front of him, and his eyes darkened.

There are many ways to harvest sea buckthorn, which are mainly divided into manual picking, machine harvesting and chemical harvesting.

Among them, manual picking is the most labor-intensive and time-consuming method, and the most ideal is chemical picking. The so-called chemical harvesting is to spray a certain concentration of ethephon on the sea buckthorn fruit in the process of turning from green to yellow for ripening and harvesting.

But it is clear that the most primitive and simple method can now be used, that is, pure manual picking.

However, the primitive orcs once again broke through Di Mu's imagination.

I saw Tal take a step forward, his legs slightly bent, his breath sank, and his arms uprooted the sea buckthorn.

You must know that sea buckthorn has the title of the king of vitamin C, and another feature comparable to it is its significant soil and sand control function. Its root system can penetrate the deep yellow sand of the underground for up to ten meters, and it can be uprooted to show the strength of the orcs.

Originally, sea buckthorn was most suitable for growing in such desert and desert areas with plenty of sunlight and little precipitation, but due to the wild animal riots in the cold season, it is estimated that these plants will not survive. And manual picking will take a lot of time, so Di Mu simply asked the orcs to uproot them and bring them back to the Sirius tribe, and find a place in the back mountain to see if they can grow alive.
