Chapter 193: Wolf Poison Fruit
Early the next morning, before the morning bell rang, Jia Yi had already gotten up, and he first prepared the drawings of his sonar detector and put them away.
In the morning class, there are still a few courses, and there are no specific spells involved.
The academy was not prepared to teach them specific spells, potions, and prop making before the end of their "penance" period, as if it was afraid that they would be in bad spirits and cause some unnecessary danger. And when the "school tradition" passes, they still have to learn mathematics, yes, mathematics, second only to the study of spells is an important course, and even in the eyes of some teachers, mathematics is actually more important than spell learning, if you don't learn mathematics, you can't learn magic.
Mathematics is also the most difficult subject in the eyes of all students, especially calculus, which is to be learned after the third grade, and is considered by the students to be specially invented by Lord Isaac to make it difficult for students. In order to reflect their IQ, in such a course, it is all students who spend the most time, but the failure rate is also the most.
Of course, you can take the initiative to go to the senior class to listen to the class, but you will only understand it more and more, but even if you repeat the grade, the total academic year will not change, so when you finally graduate, although someone is in the sixth grade, but still studying the third grade course, you have graduated. If you want to study, you can only audit as an auditor.
Although regular students have to pay tuition, the experimental materials are provided by the college, which actually costs less, and when they become audit students, even if they spend more money, time, and energy, they may not be able to catch up with the students who are running ahead.
After the third grade, the students began to appear obvious stratification, and those who can become mages are not stupid, and the spiritual power of mages is also bonus, so the first two years are not very obvious.
At noon, Jia Yi and the others had eaten and began to go to various chambers of commerce to buy the materials they needed. The liquidity in the store is not enough, and this time the material money is still paid by themselves, which is equivalent to injecting capital into the store again.
They moved all the materials to the underground laboratory of the house rented by Jiayi, where their workshop was located, because there was a custom furnace of Jiayi, and it worked very well.
After moving the materials, it was not early, Jiayi and they went to the botanical garden, and this afternoon's class was to weed the medicinal materials in the botanical garden, as well as the identification of medicinal materials. Some time ago, the college focused on building the clock tower, and the management of the botanical garden was not in place, and weeds and insects grew a lot.
And there is a bad place in the greenhouse, outside, the cold of winter will kill a large part of the insects, but inside the greenhouse is always warm, while the herbs continue to grow, the insects and weeds also continue to grow, and it takes more energy to remove.
The only good thing is that there is magic to rely on, and some magic circles can get rid of most of the pests, but there are always those that are not affected by the magic circle, so they need to be removed manually.
Jiayi They don't need to take care of every greenhouse, the greenhouse that belongs to the academy here is only a quarter of the area, and half of the area is old-fashioned open-air planting herbs, through the magic array to gather magic power, regulate the temperature, most of these herbs are perennial, and the change of seasons can improve the medicinal effect.
About a quarter of the remaining area was also built with greenhouses, but they were owned by each teacher, and there were all kinds of things grown in them, including medicinal herbs, flowers, unknown and exotic plants from all over the world, and even vegetables.
A large part of the winter vegetables in the town are produced in the greenhouses of these teachers, and they are not for making money, but just for fun.
Jia Yi came to the front of a private greenhouse and looked at the lush vegetables inside through the glass, but unfortunately he was still in the traditional period, otherwise so many vegetables could show his skills.
Suddenly, Kaichi saw bright red fruits hanging from the branches of a dwarf plant. The plant looks like a small tree, but it looks like it should be herbaceous, and the ends of the branches are colorful fruits, red, yellow, green, semi-red and not yellow, green with yellow, red with green with green, and it looks a little cute.
It's a tomato, it's much smaller than the tomatoes I've ever seen, and the largest is the size of a mangosteen, but it's a tomato. When he was young, his favorite thing was tomatoes, at that time the family was relatively poor, and there were no cold drinks or fruits in the summer, and his favorite thing was to go to the field to pick a pot of tomatoes, wash them and nibble them for an afternoon.
There is also mixed with white sugar, which is a relatively high-end way to eat, mainly more troublesome, mixed at noon, put for a few hours, and so on in the afternoon, the tomatoes are soaked in sugar, the best juice that is stained with sugar, not only sweet and sour, but also very cool, and the same after chilling.
So for the tomato plant, Jia Yi also knows, the tomato in front of him from the plant shape, fruit style, color, no matter how you look at it, it is a tomato, except for a little smaller, Jia Yi will never admit it.
"Hughesley, Hughley. Jia Yi called Husley, and he led the extracurricular practice of this class of freshmen, "What is this?"
Husley came over to take a look and said with a smile, "It's the wolf poison fruit, isn't it beautiful." ”
Wolf poison fruit, this thing doesn't sound like a good thing when it sounds like a name, is it that tomatoes from other worlds are poisonous?
He had heard that when tomatoes were first discovered, they were considered poisonous because of their bright colors, and they had been ornamental plants for a long time, so would tomatoes from another world be the same thing?
He asked Husley, "Why is it called wolf poison fruit, is it poisonous?"
"Hmm... Not really. ”
Hey, Jia's jaw almost fell off, since it's not poisonous, then you hesitate.
Xiusli looked at the wolf poison fruit, which is the tomato that Jia Yi thought, and said: "This thing was passed down from Lei Zhou, as for why it is called wolf poison fruit, I don't know, it is estimated that the people of Lei Zhou think it is poisonous." You see, a lot of things are named for no reason. ”
Jia Yi understood this point, and in his previous life, there were many snakeberries growing along the ridge river around his hometown, which were berries that grew about the same size as strawberries that had shrunk many times, and the villagers thought that this thing was poisonous and had been crawled by snakes. But in fact, this thing is not poisonous, and it has nothing to do with snakes.
Jia Yi once tasted it secretly, because he was afraid of poison, he only tasted a little bit, there was no problem, and at the same time, there was no taste, although he once thought it was a wild strawberry, but it turned out that there was no taste of strawberry.
"But I've eaten this thing, it's sweet and sour, it tastes good, and most of the time, we eat it as a fruit. It's just that the sour taste is a bit heavy. Husley added.
Jia Yi looked at the so-called wolf poison fruit, the more he looked at it, the more it looked like a tomato, and asked, "Can I taste it?"
Xiusley glanced at him in surprise: "Of course not, you are still in the traditional trial period, it would be good to be able to go to the wild to find some berries, but you can't move in the botanical garden." ”
"Oh..."Kaichi covered his forehead, he was so excited to see "Tomatoes" that he forgot about himself in the traditional period.
"So, who does this greenhouse belong to? I'm interested in this wolf poison fruit. ”
Husley took a closer look and said, "This is Master McRae's, as long as you are willing to help the teachers take care of the greenhouse, pick some fruit or something, there is no problem at all, as long as it is not those rare herbs." However, in general, greenhouses with special herbs will not be taken care of by you, and they are all selected by students who are proficient in herbal cultivation to help take care of them. ”
"I don't need those rare herbs now, so I applied to help take care of the greenhouse after the traditional period of the academy. However, it would be nice to have a greenhouse of your own. Jia Yi said.
"It's not difficult, you are the teacher's student, ask the teacher to intercede, let him give you a uniform is no problem, the teacher doesn't value the greenhouse, he is proficient in the rune array, not pharmacy. ”
Jia nodded a little, and made up her mind that she would definitely go to the teacher to intercede after a while, but this is all for later.
It's just that I haven't tasted the wolf poison fruit, and I'm still not sure if it's a tomato.
If something looks like a tomato and tastes like a tomato, then it must be a tomato, and now, it's not tasty.
