Chapter 303 Looking for Fruit Trees
Jiang Zixuan took a quick look and frowned, saying, "It seems to be called pandanus fruit. Although it looks like a pineapple, it is actually similar to sugarcane. The flesh can be chewed but not swallowed."
Zhou Xiaolai felt itchy and reached out to pick one. "Is it edible?"
"You can't eat it directly. You have to soak it in salt, otherwise you'll get diarrhea." Jiang Zixuan stopped her in time and said to the others, "Before you look for fruit trees, make sure they are edible."
Jingchen jumped down from a tall plant, carrying a green fruit bigger than his head on his shoulder.
"Don't worry. When we were mercenaries, we often came to this kind of rainforest to find food." Jingchen threw the fruit on the ground and stepped on it. "This is called breadfruit. It looks like bread and has a lot of starch."
Zhou Xiaolai asked hurriedly, "How do we eat it?"
Leng Mo came out from behind a tree and whispered, "Roast."
After being baked, breadfruit tastes more like bread, soft and delicious, sour and sweet.
It was Zhou Xiaolai’s first time to visit the tropical rain forest. When he saw so many magical fruits at first glance, he felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Leng Mo held a bunch of plants that looked like dense fingers in his hand and handed it to Zhou Xiaolai.
“Try this.”
"What is this?" Zhou Xiaolai felt a little overwhelmed as he looked at the yellow banana-like fruit. "Is this not the finger of some animal?"
He was silent for a moment, put the fruit on the ground, and broke off a "finger".
"This is bergamot." He briefly introduced it, then peeled off the yellow peel and handed it to Zhou Xiaolai again, "Ripe bergamot tastes good."
When Zhou Xiaolai heard it was bergamot, he immediately took it and ate it.
"Yeah, it's really good, very sweet." Zhou Xiaolai said happily, "I've only heard of using bergamot to make fragrance before, but I didn't expect it can be eaten."
Jiang Zixuan said, "Bergamot can also be used as medicine to relieve intestinal spasms."
She then said to Leng Mo, "You and Lai Lai should find some more bergamots. Even if you can't finish them, they can be used to make Chinese medicine."
This can just reduce the burden on pharmaceutical factories and medicinal plant farms.
Jin Mohan received the plants transferred into the space by Jiang Zixuan and transplanted them on the designated soil.
Fortunately, objects in space can be moved by thought, otherwise moving a tree that is too tall would take a long time and even he would feel exhausted.
Zhou Xiaolai is the main force in transplanting trees. She is strong enough to pull out towering trees one by one, and then Jiang Zixuan will directly transfer them into the space.
Leng Mo and Jing Chen are responsible for preventing the zombies from approaching and finding suitable fruits.
Zhou Xiaolai likes to eat mangoes, so Lengmo specially found a mango forest.
The mangoes here are both green and unripe and bright yellow and ripe.
Lengmo picked out a few mango trees that were growing well and had no borers and tried to uproot them.
But even for a wind-type mutant like him, it is difficult to pull out the trees directly.
Zhou Xiaolai was very brave. It was easier for him to dig up these trees than to pull out carrots.
Jiang Zixuan touched the mango trees one by one and said, "Lai Lai, be careful when you pull out the trees. Many mangoes fell to the ground. What a pity."
These overripe mangoes fell to the ground with a plop, just like a hammer hitting Jiang Zixuan's heart.
Zhou Xiaolai felt very distressed, but the mangoes were growing too well and they fell off with the slightest touch.
The most primitive mango fragrance lingers in the woods, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Jingchen squeezed out some water, washed a few fruits, and ate them happily.
While eating the fruit, he cleared away the poisonous snakes wrapped around the tree so that Zhou Xiaolai could concentrate on pulling out the tree.
Jiang Zixuan looked into the space and saw Jin Mohan transplanting large trees one by one.
During the transplanting process, some mangoes inevitably fell to the ground, like rotten human brains, causing Jin Mohan to frown in disgust.
Jiang Zixuan shouted into the space, "Don't be disgusted. Think about how happy Miaomiao and Mingming will be when they eat these fruits, and you will treat them well."
Jin Mohan frowned, "That's true."
When the old father thought of his children, he suddenly became extremely motivated and treated the fruit trees much more gently.
Jiang Zixuan felt relieved and continued to harvest fruit from the trees.
Zhou Xiaolai thought of Qiu Liren and Shan Zijun and said, "We have obtained so many trees. Should we send some to the Unified Base?"
Jing Chen fanned his hands coolly, "It's not necessary. They don't have extra land to grow these fruits that can't fill their stomachs, and the soil and climate are not suitable."
Jiang Zixuan's space is different. It is magical in itself. It can use fresh water to cultivate seafood, and it should be able to automatically regulate the ecosystem, allowing these tropical plants to grow lushly.
Zhou Xiaolai continued to ask, "There should be extra meteorites in the Unified Base, right? Why not use them to build a new space ring?"
Once the portable space is developed, it can increase the amount of land for cultivation just by using it for agricultural purposes.
Leng Mo looked for a fruit tree and replied, "I will go and rob it."
Several people were waiting for him to say the next sentence, but it was obvious that he had run out of words. In the next few minutes, he was only concerned with removing the zombie beasts from the fruit trees and motioned Zhou Xiaolai to pull them out.
Seeing that he really had no intention of elaborating, the other three felt very uncomfortable being left hanging.
Jingchen really wanted to kick him in the ass, "Brother Leng, will you really die if you say a few more words?"
No way, no way, there really can't be such a person who will die if he says a few more words?
Zhou Xiaolai was also very upset. "Can you explain a little more? What did they rob? Who did they rob? How did they rob?"
Leng Mo then raised his head and said word by word, "They robbed the Viper base."
Then he continued looking for fruit trees.
Not to mention that Jingchen and Zhou Xiaolai had dead eyes, even Jiang Zixuan was speechless.
She leaned close to Zhou Xiaolai and whispered in her ear, "Be careful when you are in love. You need to think carefully about whether you are suitable for this kind of person who is so different from you."
"What? Don't talk nonsense. I don't even consider whether I'm in love or not." Zhou Xiaolai stomped her feet shyly.
Jiang Zixuan was very worried. "If you two really want to be together, you still have a lot of time to get used to each other."
Zhou Xiaolai looked nonchalant, "Who doesn't need a break-in period? You and your husband, don't you have a break-in period?"
Jiang Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "Don't tell me, there really isn't any adjustment period."
She and Jin Mohan are both relatively mature people. She is not strong-willed or arrogant. She always considers the overall situation before doing anything. She will not throw tantrums or get angry with Jin Mohan over inexplicable trivial matters.
Jin Mohan did not have any desire for autocratic control over her. Instead, he gave her considerable private space and freedom, and always respected and understood her choices.
The two of them are indeed very compatible in terms of personality.
Jiang Zixuan was a little worried about her best friend's temper, but Lengmo was a very calm and rational person. When he interacted with Zhou Xiaolai, he treated her as a mother gorilla...most of the time she was with little girls, he should be very tolerant of her.
In front, Jingchen and Lengmo walked side by side, discussing the next plan for the unified base.
"So, the Unified Base will also use the last incident as an excuse to declare war on the Viper Base?"
He said coldly, "The Unified Base is not a pushover. The Viper Base has repeatedly provoked us, and Qiu Ming will not continue to tolerate it."
