Chapter 245 The third wild fruit is available

 Ye Shengge and Ling Xiaoru were happy, and Li You himself was also very happy.

There are now two kinds of wild fruits in the wild orchard, and there is only one wild fruit left to meet the task requirements of the side mission "Create a wild orchard".

When there are three kinds of wild fruits in the wild orchard, the task can be completed.

At that time, you will randomly receive 1,000 kilograms of high-quality ingredients, as well as a chance to draw a lottery.

It’s very exciting!

Ye Shengge looked at the time and said, "It's four-thirty in the afternoon. Let's hurry up and we should be able to go into the mountain again."

This beauty is obviously not satisfied and wants to get another wild fruit back.

Li You said: "Then we won't go far this time. We will just walk around the neighborhood. We will return to the store around 5:30."

"Okay, let's go, let's go."

Li You and Ling Xiaoru both smiled slightly.

Then let’s go.

The three people picked up hoes, hatchets, ropes and other tools before setting off.

This time I changed the direction. After walking not far, I saw a low plant in front of me, full of small yellow flowers.

In the mountains and fields, such small yellow flowers are inconspicuous.

Ye Shengge didn't care about the little yellow flowers. They came here for wild fruits, not wild flowers.

However, Ling Xiaoru said: "Boss, that should be considered a kind of wild fruit, right?"

Li You nodded, "It definitely counts. Or maybe it will be our third wild fruit?"

After Ye Shengge heard the conversation between the two, his eyes lit up and he said happily: "Is that also a kind of wild fruit? What kind of wild fruit is it?"

Li You smiled and said: "If what you see is not a flower, but its fruit, you should recognize it."

"Really?" Ye Shengge was very interested and asked, "What does its fruit look like? What is its name?"

Li You said: "Spherical shape, bright red, less than one centimeter in diameter, with many protrusions on the skin. It looks a bit like a miniature version of strawberry, very nice..."

When he said this, Ye Shengge said happily: "I know, I think I probably know what the fruit is. Snakeberry, right?"

Li You nodded, "Yes, it's snakeberry. It's also called snakeberry, snakegrass, dragon spitting pearl, three-clawed wind, nosebleed fruit, pearl claw, groundberry, etc."

Ye Shengge added: "It turns out that snakeberry flowers look like this. This is the first time I've seen them."

Li You said: "Many people only know the snakeberry fruit, but not the snakeberry flower. This is mainly because everyone generally only remembers what the snakeberry fruit looks like, but has no impression of the snakeberry plant or the appearance of the flower.



Ye Shengge nodded, "That seems to be the case."

While they were talking, the three people had already walked in front of the snakeberry plant.

Ye Shengge knelt down to take a closer look at the snakeberry flowers.

The flower is yellow, with five petals, single-layered, solitary in the leaf axil. The pedicel is long and pubescent, and the calyx lobes are oval-lanceolate.

If you look at one flower alone, it's not beautiful. But now that it's blooming all over the field, it's still very beautiful.

"By the way, boss, are snake berries inedible?" Ye Shengge asked.

Li Youdao: "In our rural areas, there is indeed a saying that snake berries cannot be eaten. I remember when I was young, the adults in the village always said that snake berries are eaten by snakes. Snakes often crawled over snake berries and would also eat them.

There is saliva left on it. Therefore, snake berries are poisonous and cannot be eaten.”…Ye Shengge was confused, “Why is there such a saying?”

Li You smiled and said: "Because sometimes we can find something similar to foam on the snake berries. Adults say it is the spit of snakes."

Ye Shengge asked: "Is there something like that on the snakeberry?"

Li You said: "This is indeed true. It's just that not every snakeberry has it. It's just that it's on some."

Ye Shengge said: "That is definitely not the spit of a snake. But, what is it?"

Li You said: "It's made by an insect called the foam cicada, which looks like foam. The foam cicada likes to live on snakeberry plants, and they can excrete something similar to foam from their tails. They can also remove the foam.

The more they blow, the bigger they get, some of which look like human spit. The foam cicadas will hide in the foam they create, and the foam can ensure their safety. At the same time, the foam cicadas will also lay their eggs in the foam. The foam can also protect them.

Egg safety."

So that’s it.

Ye Shengge said, "This is the first time I know that there are insects like foam cicadas. Are they related to cicadas?" qqxδnew

Li You said: "Yes. It is a type of cicada. It is a famous high jump champion. Someone recently discovered that the high jumping ability of the cicada is even higher than that of fleas. It has the strongest high jumping ability among all creatures in the world."<

/p>

Ye Shengge nodded, indicating that he had gained knowledge. Then he added: "In addition to leaving foam on snakeberries, the foam cicada will also leave foam on other plants, right?"

Li You nodded, "Indeed. If we observe carefully, we will often see it on some plants."

Ye Shengge nodded and said, "I seem to have seen it before, but I didn't observe it carefully."

Li You smiled and said: "Normally no one will observe it carefully. After all, that thing looks uncomfortable."

Ye Shengge said: "Indeed. Having said that, snake berries should be edible, right?"

Li You said, "You can eat it. However, it is not advisable to eat too much because snake berries do contain a slight toxin. Eating too much is not good for your health. However, because the taste of snake berries is not good, everyone does not like to eat it. Therefore,

Basically, you don’t have to worry about anyone eating too many snakeberries.”

Ye Shengge said: "I have never eaten it. So boss, is this the third wild fruit in our wild orchard?"

Li You nodded, "That's it. Although it doesn't taste very good, it looks good and is famous. Moreover, the whole plant can be used medicinally. It has the functions of clearing away heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis, astringing and stopping bleeding. It is still very valuable.

High."

Ye Shengge said: "That's it. It's much easier to transplant than prickly pears. But, should we bring a basket or a few big bags?"

Li You said: "It is indeed more convenient to have a basket and a big bag. However, it doesn't matter if you don't have one. We use ropes the same way. We tie the dug snakeberries into a bundle with ropes and carry them back."

Ye Shengge said: "That's true."

Then let’s dig.

This thing is much easier to dig than prickly pears. Li You picked up the hoe and quickly dug up a pile.

That's almost enough.

Use rope to tie all the dug snakeberries into a bundle.

After tying it up, Ye Shengge tried it on and found that it was quite heavy, probably twenty or thirty pounds.

"Boss, how about we find a pole and carry it back," Ye Shengge said.

Ling Xiaoru also said that she could carry it back. It would be a bit heavy for one person to carry.

Li You said there was no need to lift it.

With Li You's current physique, it can be said that it is very easy to carry this little thing back.

"Let's go back." Li You said after lifting the snakeberry.

Ye Shengge and Ling Xiaoru saw that Li You seemed very relaxed, so they didn't insist on carrying him away.

The three people walked back.

After returning to the wild orchard, I selected an area and planted all the snakeberries I brought back.

At this point, the third wild fruit in the wild orchard is available.

As expected, the system sound sounded again.

"Congratulations to the host for creating a wild orchard with an area of ​​more than two cents of land and three types of wild fruits.

The side mission "Building a Wild Orchard" is completed.

Obtained the mission reward: 1,000 pounds of live large river shrimps (quality: top quality), and one chance to draw a lottery."

The answer to the reward of a random ingredient is finally here, living giant river shrimp.
