The seabed, which is tens of meters deep, cannot be compared to the Great Trench, which is three thousand meters deep. Now even Song Jiao can dive for a few minutes without any equipment, but she cannot stay in there for too long.
Time. This is also the difference between a natural master and an acquired master.
"It's really ripe!" Zhang Heng came up from the water holding a long, bright-green fruit about the same size as a watermelon!
During this period of time, Song Jiao has been taking care of this sea dragon tree. Counting the time, from planting to fruiting, it only takes less than a month and a half, right?
It takes forty days to produce such a large fruit. Zhang Heng estimated that there is no such variety on earth!
As for the growth of the sea dragon tree, Song Jiao almost lost her eyes at the beginning. Chapter 76: The sea dragon tree sprouted when it first ripened. It only took seven days from sprouting to growing into a seedling one and a half meters thick as an adult's arm.
Some branches and leaves even look longer. After a week, the branches and leaves begin to bloom and the stems become thicker.
On the eighteenth day, the sea dragon tree bloomed small pink flowers in the sea. The flowering period lasted about three days, and then it only took twelve days from the fruiting to the fruit to grow into the size of a watermelon.
Song Jiao looked at the sea dragon fruit held in Zhang Heng's hand, was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "How do you know it's ripe?"
Normally, Song Jiao would come to Hailong Tree Garden once every morning and afternoon. If I remember correctly, the fruit Zhang Heng was holding was the largest fruit growing in the entire orchard.
"Whether it's cooked or not, you'll know if you try it," Zhang Heng said with a smile. "Go, find a knife. Let's try it first!"
Zhang Heng just walked around the sea dragon tree garden. Now each sea dragon tree is basically about two meters high. The main trunk is as thick as the mouth of a sea bowl. The scattered branches are about three meters. The sea dragon fruit does not grow on
On the branch, it is held by a stem.
On each sea dragon tree, there are at least hundreds of large and small sea dragon fruits. Moreover, the characteristics of the sea dragon tree are similar to those of cucumbers and tomatoes. The fruit bearing and flowering are
carried out simultaneously.
In fact, Li Jiao has long been greedy for the sea dragon fruit. If Zhang Heng does not come today, the sea dragon fruit that Zhang Heng just picked might end up in her stomach tomorrow.
Use a knife to cut the sea dragon fruit into pieces. The color of the pulp inside is dark green and watery like jelly. It feels very similar to coconut meat, but there is not too much water. It makes people feel appetizing when they look at it.
Wide open, the desire to taste.
"It looks pretty good!" Zhang Heng cut a piece for himself and looked it up to the sun. The pulp of the sea dragon fruit felt like an emerald.
Song Jiao ignored Zhang Heng, cut a piece for herself with a knife, put it in her mouth and took a small bite. Whether it tastes good or not cannot be felt just by looking at the appearance. Whether it is really delicious can only be tasted in person.
Only then will you know!
"How is it?" Zhang Heng looked at Song Jiao and asked.
Song Jiao frowned and thought for a while, shook her head and nodded, without saying anything, she ate up all the sea dragon fruit in her hand!
"Isn't it ripe? It shouldn't be." Zhang Heng muttered to himself, put the sea dragon fruit in his mouth and took a small bite. The first impression was that it was very sweet. How can I describe the taste? It is similar to the dried fruit.
Kiwi fruit or cantaloupe are similar, very chewy, but not as dry as the two dried fruits, and the mucus secreted has a kind of lubrication. When chewing, in addition to sweetness, there will also be a residue between the teeth.
The little salty taste will whet your appetite!
"It tastes good!" No wonder Song Jiao took a breath and ate the whole piece of sea dragon fruit without saying anything. The density of the sea dragon fruit pulp seems to be relatively high. A whole sea dragon fruit weighs at least 40 kilograms.
, a piece of fruit pulp cut into triangles is also two pounds.
Ordinary people can only eat a piece of sea dragon fruit, and then they will feel full, but they will also feel very happy after eating it.
"It's quite good. It tastes better than the fruits I've eaten before." Song Jiao wiped the juice from the corners of her mouth and turned the corners of her mouth upwards.
Zhang Heng nodded and said: "Hei Niu, do you think our sea dragon fruit will be popular among people if it is promoted?"
"Maybe!" Song Jiao thought for a while, but she wasn't sure. After all, people's tastes are different. For example, some people like to eat apples, while others like to eat bananas and radishes.
Everyone has their own preferences for cabbage. What you like may not be what others like. Finally, he added: "However, I really like the taste of 'sea dragon fruit' anyway. From now on, I decided to only eat sea dragon fruit for breakfast and dinner every day."
!”
"Eat it!" Zhang Heng smiled. Even if you can eat one a day, you will only eat thirty sea dragon fruits in a month, and you can't eat enough. But one sea dragon fruit weighs forty kilograms, and you can eat it in one meal.
Are you done? Now the sea dragon fruit is still in the early ripening stage. In a few days, one crop after another will burst into bloom. By then...
Baihuaxian said that the sea dragon fruit only bears fruit for five months from mid-June to mid-November every year. At other times, it only absorbs nutrients and does not bear fruit. The current sea dragon tree is only in its new life.
Assuming that each tree only grows 300 sea dragon fruits in five months, the total output of one hundred sea dragon trees is 30,000 sea dragon fruits. One sea dragon fruit weighs forty kilograms, and 30,000 sea dragon fruits are... ten
Twenty thousand kilograms!
The first thing that Zhang Heng thought of was the commercial value of sea dragon fruit. The purpose of growing it is to sell it for money! The wealth that the Dream Group brought to him always gave Zhang Heng a feeling of 'illusion'. There was no such thing.
The feeling of 'you will reap what you sow' is real.
Zhang Heng and Song Jiao ate a sea dragon fruit with open bellies. They only ate a quarter of it, and then they were so full that they couldn't eat anymore!
The next day, several more sea dragon fruits were picked and Song Gang took them directly to a top laboratory in Singapore to conduct tests on the sea dragon fruits.
The results are very exciting. The nutrients contained in sea dragon fruit exceed all known fruits. Among them, sea dragon fruit not only contains a large amount of vitamins a, b, and c that are beneficial to the human body, but also contains vitamins a, b, and c that the human body needs.
Experts point out that long-term consumption of sea dragon fruit can greatly improve the human body's physique and inhibit many diseases!
"Don't be afraid of spending money. Find the world's top authoritative institution to conduct a comprehensive test on the sea dragon fruit, and then ask them to issue a test and quality inspection report!" After Zhang Heng received Song Gang's call, he immediately ordered. People depend on their clothes.
, Ma Bian Saddle, if you want to sell sea dragon fruit at a high price in the future, these 'packaging' and the like are indispensable.
With these laboratory quality inspection reports, the sea dragon fruit will be in an invincible position if it is put on the market! As for whether it can be popular among people, it depends on the hype!
