Bring the Farm To Wear Chronology

Chapter 309: Breadfruit, Mantou Fruit 3

This doctor is a very lively and young doctor. He was sent to the northwest side. But there is nothing wrong with his background, but he just returned from studying medicine abroad and worked in the hospital for a year before being reported and sent down.

His medical skills are really good, so after being sent to the northwest, he was brought back to the army. The lives of the soldiers of the army are of course very important. It is a pity that this young doctor with superb medical skills was sent to do farm work, which he is not good at at all. It is better to let him come over to the army to treat the soldiers.

Although the treatment of this doctor is a lot worse than that of other doctors, at least it is much better than that on the farm. Look, now the character is almost the same as before before it was devolved.

This doctor is still very young, in his twenties and less than 30 years old, and because of his personality, he looks like a young man in his early twenties.

But he is still very authoritative. Since he said that it tastes good and can be eaten, then breadfruit and mantou fruit are really edible.

Even if other people suspect that the young doctor wants to deceive them and make them eat unknown food or something, it is fine. After all, besides this young doctor, there are many doctors in the army who have also proved that breadfruit and steamed bread are the same. Really edible.

Because of the young doctor's words, everyone thinks that the fruit that tastes the same as whole wheat bread is called bread fruit, and the taste is the same as steamed bread, which is easy to understand and catchy.

When it was confirmed that the breadfruit and the mantou fruit were edible, the troops sent someone to look at the grove to see if there were still ripe fruits, and to see how many breadfruit and mantou fruits could be picked.

"Wow—are there so many trees?" The young doctor, who followed over to join in the fun because of curiosity, looked at the grove in front of him and said in surprise.

It has been almost two years since the young doctor came to the Northwest, and he has never seen such a lush and beautiful forest. Even if I could see the trees before, there were only a few trees, and some were even as miserable as only one.

A grove of more than 100 trees like this was something he could only see outside the northwest before. The northwest side is really desolate, especially the place where the troops are stationed is even more desolate.

The grove composed of more than 100 trees really made him happy, and the green leaves were really comfortable to look at.

"Have you counted how many trees there are in this forest?" the leader of the team asked, looking at the grove in front of him.

"Report! No."

"Then go count."

"Yes!"

The breadfruit tree and the mantou fruit tree are two different trees. Even though their fruits are the staple food, the shapes of the trunk, leaves and crown are all different.

The bark of the breadfruit tree is the kind that is round and smooth, the kind that doesn't touch your hands. The bark of the mantou fruit tree is similar to the bark of the longan tree, with a lot of deep grooves.

The leaves, the leaves of the breadfruit tree are very large, about the size of the palm of an adult, the edges of the leaves are rounded streamlines, and the shape of the leaves is oval.

The leaves of the mantou fruit tree are also the size of a palm, but they are indeed elongated. Although the edges of the leaves are also round and streamlined, they are almost as tortuous as maple leaves. It's just that the maple leaves are five pointed like a slap, while the leaves of Mantouguo have only three pointed points.

The appearance of the two kinds of fruits is also different. The appearance of the mantou fruit is very round and roughly the shape of the mantou. And bread, fruits and vegetables are similar in shape to a football. The size is the same as the papaya size, it looks big but the weight is quite light.

The warrior who tapped the number of these trees quickly returned to report the results. There were a total of one hundred and twenty trees, sixty each of breadfruit and mantou.

The area composed of these 120 trees is not small, it is about the size of five or six acres of land. Because these trees are not planted strictly according to the spacing of the orchard, but grow randomly, the spacing between each tree is not the same.

Therefore, the grove composed of 120 trees covers as much as five or six acres of land, and a lot of weeds and other plants appear on the ground below these trees.

"One hundred and twenty trees." The leader looked at the grove and asked people to pick the ripe breadfruit and steamed buns, and then sent a team of people stationed nearby to see what was going on in the woods.

Of course, they also have to report the situation of these two plants to see if the same plants are found elsewhere, or if they can cultivate these trees into more saplings and promote planting in the northwest.

Because the mantou fruit and bread fruit were harvested, the troops were full that day. Although the soldiers are subsidized, to be honest, everyone is very poor, and even they may not be able to eat every meal.

And now that they have breadfruit and steamed buns, they don't have to worry about going hungry again in the future. The local soldiers who joined the army are also very happy. According to the leader's intention, if the mantou fruit and bread fruit can cultivate more saplings and promote planting, their families can also have enough to eat.

The high-yielding sweet potatoes, rice crackers, and oil fruits have been promoted before, but only sweet potatoes and potatoes can be promoted to the northwest side.

After research by experts, rice crackers can be planted in the mountains and forests in the south and north, but they may not grow in the northwest. Therefore, the newly cultivated saplings are preferentially promoted in other places in the south and north.

In addition to the high-yielding sweet potatoes and potatoes that do not pick the ground, there are no other plants that can be promoted in the northwest side.

Because of the high yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes, the people in the northwest don't have to worry about starving to death. But it takes time to eat well and eat well, not to mention that they prefer to eat pasta. Although sweet potatoes and potatoes can also fill their stomachs, they can easily get tired of eating too much.

It's just that in such an environment, it's good enough to be able to fill their stomachs and not die of hunger, and they can't complain that they eat too many sweet potatoes and potatoes and don't want to eat them, and they even want to eat pasta or something.

After the breadfruit and steamed buns were harvested, it was not only eaten by the soldiers of this unit, but also some were sent to the Northwest Research Institute for those experts who worked hard to do research.

Everyone's life is very difficult. Although those experts are important experts, their treatment is not necessarily much better. Now that there are good foods such as breadfruit and mantou fruit, of course they have to send it to the experts.

The results reported by these two plants are that biological, agricultural, and plant experts who were originally studying rice crackers, oil nuts and other plants in the south have divided a group to study breadfruit and steamed bread.

Breadfruit and steamed buns are also very important. If they can be promoted in the northwest, it can at least reduce the desertification of the land in the northwest, and it can also fill the stomach of the northwest, killing two birds with one stone.
