So Man Bao took a knife and chopped around, cutting off two or three pieces from every cactus he saw. He decided to include one piece in the encyclopedia, give one piece to Teacher Mo or Dr. D, and put the remaining piece on the forum.
hanging on.
Bai Shan followed enthusiastically, and from time to time he would lift the things she wanted to chop, or give her instructions on where to chop.
Daji followed behind with a basket of medicine, and saw that they did not care about meat and vegetables, and even cut a piece from a round thorn that was only as high as the feet. Apparently they only cut three pieces from the same large round thorn next to it.
Manbao’s reasons are very good, “Even though they look alike, they are probably not from the same family. And even if they are from the same family, there will be some differences between the grown ones and the young ones. Look at the wheat and rice we grow, which change every year.
Do we all need to select the best batch of seeds from the same field? Obviously they belong to the same family, but some grow well and some grow poorly, and the offspring they leave behind are also different. This is
It’s different.”
Daji didn't quite understand, "But Miss Man, what are these things for?"
Man Bao said with a serious face: "There is no useless thing in this world. I suspect these things are poisonous."
Daji's pupils shrank and he almost threw the medicine basket in his hand.
Manbao comforted him and said, "It's okay. You haven't eaten or been pricked by it. What are you afraid of?"
Daji breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Since it is poisonous, why should we study this?"
Man Bao said: "It depends on how it is used. Although it is poisonous, it has other uses. I want to try it to see if it has analgesic and anesthetic effects."
Daji's eyes were different when he looked at these things again.
Manbao finally cut down a basket, and originally wanted to go further to the Gobi to have a look, but the medicine basket was full, so they could only return to the inn with regret.
Although they wore curtains and covered their necks, hands and feet, several of them were still severely sunburned, and they were all red when they returned to the inn.
Yin Huo hasn't come back yet. Apparently he wants to spend the hottest part of the day by the lake and wait until the sun is not so fierce to come back.
There were only the guard, the cook, and two helpers left in the yard. When they saw them coming back, a few people immediately stepped forward to lead the horses, and to carry things.
The cook couldn't help but be surprised when she saw a basket of green tattoos, "These..."
Manbao said to Daji: "Send it to me in the attic and I will deal with it later."
Good luck.
Sister-in-law He stopped asking.
The two helpers on the side didn't speak the same language, so they stood there silently. Man Bao asked them in nonsense, "Do you know about the cactus in the Gobi?"
They blinked, turned to look at the things Dajiti had taken away, and gestured to Manbao: "Those are round thorns and flat thorns, which are poisonous, but some are edible."
Man Bao's eyes lit up and asked: "Can you tell which ones can be eaten and which ones cannot be eaten?"
A nod means, "You can eat the young ones, but not the old ones."
Another objected, "No, the tender ones can be poisonous. The top ones that are very yellow cannot be eaten, but the ones that are not very yellow can be eaten."
The two couldn't help but started arguing.
Man Bao was stunned for a moment, feeling that what they said was too abstract, and it was so confusing, could he really eat it wrong?
The two helpers said that of course they would eat by mistake, but they said: "It doesn't matter if you eat by mistake. I just saw devils and gods. It will be fine when you wake up."
"Those who are without sin will wake up, and those who are deeply sinful will die."
Man Bao and Bai Shan: "..."
The two of them were silent for a long time, and it took them a long time to find their own voices and let them go down to rest.
Sister-in-law He boiled water for them and asked hesitantly: "Miss, do you want me to make tea?"
"No, we don't drink tea." Man Bao decided to drink boiled water.
Bai Shan took the teapot and said, "I'll make it."
He turned to Man Bao and said, "It's too hot. Let's drink some tea. I know that your husband has a bag of black tea in his collection. It's not bitter and has a rich tea aroma. Let's drink some."
"You know where?"
"I know, the cage is still in my room, just wait."
So the two of them stomped upstairs. Man Bao only remembered halfway through and said to them: "Cut a plate of melons and bring them up."
Sister-in-law He responded with a smile.
Bai Shan made tea, and Man Bao went up to the attic carrying the fruit plate.
It's empty inside, and it's intended to be a place for valuables for the guests staying here, because you have to go through all the room doors to get to the attic.
But at this moment, there was nothing inside. There was a medicine basket and a chopping board that Daji brought up in the middle. He also brought up two short knives in accordance with Manbao's request.
Bai Shan placed the brewed tea on the wooden board, bent down and walked over to open the window. Then he sat cross-legged on the wooden board and looked at Man Bao, "How to deal with so much?"
Man Bao rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let me ask."
Bai Shan sat upright.
Manbao asked Keke in his mind, "How old is it for inclusion?"
Keke seemed to realize something, and said: "It's about half a fist size. If it were a cactus in our world, it would only need a small piece to cut it, but the original species may have accidents, so the requirements will be larger."
Man Bao was so happy that he wrapped his hand with linen cloth and said, "Fortunately, we cut off big pieces."
She took out a piece and said to Bai Shan, "Just cut it into half the size of a fist."
Bai Shan nodded.
Man Baochong gestured with the round thorn he picked up, and then cut off a piece, trying to make the cut as small as possible.
She took it in her hand and looked at it. She felt that it was green and tender, and it should be considered full of vitality, so she silently collected it.
Bai Shan saw the thing disappear in her hand, and his back straightened even more. He placed the cut piece respectfully in the middle, and then looked at it with wide eyes.
Man Bao glanced at him and asked Keke, "Is this the same?"
Keke: "It's different."
"Then let's record it."
Anyway, in her eyes, they all looked similar, but some of them that looked obviously different were the same kind, which made Man Bao very curious.
In Keke’s words, “They have grown crookedly, but most of their genes have not changed, and the varieties are the same. However, one copy can be included repeatedly as a reference, but the second copy is a differentiated collection, and the reward points will not be too high.
many."
Manbao expressed his understanding.
Bai Shan and Man Bao cut a lot together, and put aside the ones that were the same and did not need to be included repeatedly, and included the ones that could be included, and then cut out two pieces along the way, one was placed directly on the forum, and the other was placed in the space.
, she decided to contact Teacher Mo, Dr. D, in the evening, and send them some if they were interested.
Of course, Bai Shan doesn't know these things, he only knows that they cut them out and put them in the middle, and then they will disappear.
There was no need to cut some of them. Manbao said they were duplicates and had already been collected before.
After they had sorted out everything in the medicine basket and had finished delivering what should be given to Uncle Zhou, they turned around and saw that they still had a lot of things left.
