"It depends on their arrows." Old Man Bulan explained with a smile, "Every spring, we pack the seeds of food in bags and hang them on the arrows. After shooting them, we will definitely be beaten by the ancient tree of Qikai after they are shot.
After breaking, the seeds in the bags are sown under the ancient trees."
Lin Xian'er asked in confusion: "Doesn't fertilize and remove insects?"
Liang Xi could answer this question for her: "There is no need to remove insects, because the insects that dare to approach the ancient tree of Qikai were crushed by them, and there was no need to fertilize them. The ancient tree of Qikai was full of wood.
Spiritual energy, this is the best fertilizer.”
Old Man Bu Lan nodded and said that Liang Xi was right.
"Then how do you harvest?" Lin Xian'er looked at the ancient trees of the ancient armor, and saw that there were indeed half a human-tall green plants growing under the wind, rows of fluttering in the wind, but she couldn't see what those were.
Animals close to the ancient tree of Qikai will be knocked away by them, and even copper tendons and iron bones will probably be flattened. None of the people who just arrived in Sweet Potato City can answer it.
Even the smart Liang Xi was silent at this moment.
Dad Bulan smiled and said, "You should pay attention to the ancient trees of the veiled armor and you will find out soon."
Everyone's eyes were aimed at the lush ancient tree of Sukai. Their thick branches were still like giant pythons rolling and lingering, but Liang Xi soon discovered something: although those branches seemed violent and chaotic, they never touched them.
Sometimes when you go to the crops below it, you will even deliberately avoid them!
"What's going on? Is there such spirituality?" Liang Xi felt a big doubt in his heart. He was about to ask Mr. Bu Lan when he suddenly saw the thick branches of the ancient tree of Qikai flirting on the crops for a few times.
, a pile of black flew over like locusts.
"Damn, what is that!" Liang Xi was startled, thinking that it was a hidden weapon that Qi Kai Ancient Tree had hit, and subconsciously wanted to pull out the Kan Water Blade.
But the villagers standing on both sides seemed to have been prepared. They had connected the same things as steel pipes one by one there before. Now they saw those black things flying over, and they calmly connected the two pieces together about high.
A five-meter tube was inserted into the ground, and then two flexible village names climbed up and hung a net on it, which blocked everyone.
Because those black things were not flying fast, they were already in the air. They were stopped by this layer of net and made a sound of slapping on the ground.
The sour and sweet taste became more and more intense as these things increased, which made the greedy worms in the stomach sway restlessly.
"What are these?" Maku asked hurriedly after waiting for the villagers to withdraw the net.
Qin Anyu picked up a proud look and said, "Welcome to taste the specialty on the banks of the Sangqu River, we all call it milk fruit."
"Can this thing be eaten directly?" Erya stretched out her hand and picked up a curiously looking at it.
The milk fruit is black and looks like a bunch of grapes that are crushed into a whole piece. It doesn't look amazing, but the sweet smell emitted from it is quite appetizing.
Liang Xi picked up one and put it under his nose and sniffed it. He wiped it randomly on the hem of his clothes and stuffed it into his mouth.
With a crisp sound, just as the teeth bit open the skin of the milk fruit, a 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, it was filled with snow-white fruit flesh. Liang Xi chewed it in big mouthfuls, making a sound of hu chi.
Everyone looked at Liang Xi eating the milk fruit in his hand in three bites, waiting for him to comment on the taste.
Liang Xi looked around the group of people around him, and did not say a word, but reached out to the second milk fruit.
After the second one was finished, he reached for the third one without hesitation...
There is a lot of juice inside the milk fruit, and the fruit almost doesn't feel full after eating it. When Liang Xi stretched his paws to the seventh milk fruit, everyone didn't need him to make any comments anymore. He had been seduced to the stomach.
The insects were about to rebel and rushed forward, and each hand started to chew on it.
The Crocodile tribe members relied on their height and strength to grab one hand.
The milk fruit about the size of an adult's palm is like an ordinary person pinching a strawberry in their hands.
Originally, they thought that this thing was too small and not enough to even plug the teeth, but when they ate one, everyone saw them staring at the ancient tree of Qikai in the distance with malicious intentions.
If it weren't for those violent ancient trees guarding them, they would probably be unable to bear the temptation to run over and have a feast.
Maku and the bandits who have become long-term workers were gnawing and smiling, and their faces were covered with juice.
The lord's wife and the lord's wife were eating with little slight silence, and their eyes were as curvy as crescent moons.
Liang Xi swallowed nine times in a row before stopping, and burped happily.
Seeing everyone having fun eating, Mr. Bulan and Qin Anyu looked at each other and smiled, they also felt particularly happy.
"A milk fruit contains the energy needed for an adult soldier for a whole day. Liang Xi, you just ate nine, so it doesn't matter whether you eat or not in the next nine days." Dad Bu Lan looked happily
These people ate the milk fruits they had just harvested like a wind and clouds.
"So amazing?" Liang Xi said in surprise, then looked at the ancient tree of Qikai in the distance thoughtfully, "Rely on the ancient tree of Qikai to protect the crops, rely on the ancient tree of Qikai to plant crops, and finally
Relying on ancient trees to harvest crops, Dad, you really have a way!"
Hearing Liang Xi’s praise, Mr. Bu Lan just smiled slightly and said nothing.
Qin Anyu was very happy and said, "That's natural. Dad Bulan is the most famous elder on the banks of our Sangqu River. He knows almost everything!"
The rest looked at Dad Bu Lan with admiration, only Daguan Ren Liang looked at the old man and smiled thief.
Next, Mr. Bu Lan introduced the other uses of milk fruit.
"You can put it in the house to remove the odor. After drying, the milk fruit will lose its unique taste of sweet and sour, and then chop it into powder. It is similar to ordinary flour. It can be used to knead dough, pancakes and make dumplings without any scent.
question."
"If you put the milk fruit on the fire, oil will drop down, and the oil can be used to stir-fry or to raise the heat."
Liang Xi nodded repeatedly when he heard this.
The plant milk fruit can only grow on saline-alkali land. In the past, because the Sangqu River is rarely visited, it has not been spread outside.
Now Liang Xi has discovered another opportunity to make a fortune.
When he turned his head and looked at the half-human-high plants a hundred meters behind him, Liang Xi seemed to see a bunch of golden ingots waving to him.
The shining golden light in Liang Xi's eyes also scared the people next to him, but of course they had not discovered the business opportunities.
In addition to the staple food of milk fruit, other plants and crops in Sweet Potato City are extremely limited.
The dozen crops mentioned before actually have only a very small amount of soil to allow them to grow, so they provide very little.
"This is a reservoir for clear water, and this is a pond where fish swimming from the Sangqu River are raised." Old Man Bulan led them all the way.
These sea fish are fat and large, swimming around in the pool.
"It seems that our daily food will be milk fruits and these sea fish, and sometimes sea crabs." Lin Xian'er counted with her fingers, "The rest of the vegetables are rarely eaten."
Compared with the rich delicacies in Tianlingmen, there are indeed fewer varieties here.
"This is not necessarily true." After Lin Xian'er finished speaking, Liang Daren took out a small cloth pocket from the space storage ring with a scattered look.
