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. But there is nothing wrong with his background, it is just that he has 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 taken to the army. The lives of the soldiers in the army are of course very important. It is a pity that this young doctor with excellent medical skills was sent to do farm work that he is not good at. It is better to let him come to the army to treat the wounded soldiers.

Although the treatment of this doctor is much worse than that of other doctors, at least it is much better than that of the farm. Look, the personality is almost the same as before it was not sent down.

This doctor is still very young, in his twenties and less than thirties, 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 bread fruit and mantou fruit are really edible.

Even if other people suspect that this young doctor is trying to deceive them and let them eat unknown food or something, it’s okay. After all, besides this young doctor, there are many doctors on the army side who have proved that breadfruit and mantoufruit are Really edible.

Because in the words of young doctors, everyone thinks that the fruit that tastes like whole wheat bread is called bread fruit, and the fruit that tastes like a steamed bun is called mantou fruit, which is easy to understand and catchy.

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

"Wow—there are so many trees?" The young doctor who came to join in the fun out of curiosity looked at the small forest in front of him 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 they could see trees before, there were only a few of them, and some were even as miserable as one.

A grove with more than one hundred 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.

This small forest composed of more than one hundred trees really made him happy to look at, and the green leaves are 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 small forest in front of him.

"Report! No."

"Then go and count."

"Yes!"

Breadfruit trees and steamed bread fruit trees are two different trees. Even though their fruits are staple foods, the shapes of their trunks, leaves, and crowns are all different.

The bark of the breadfruit tree is round and smooth, the kind that doesn't twitch to the touch. The bark of the mantou fruit tree is similar to the bark of the longan tree, the kind that has many deep grooves and still scratches.

As for the leaves, the leaves of the breadfruit tree are very large, about the size of an adult's palm. The edges of the leaves are round and streamlined, and the shape of the leaves is oval.

The leaves of the mantou fruit tree are also as big as a palm, but they are really long. Although the edges of the leaves are round and streamlined, they are almost as curved as maple leaves. It's just that the maple leaf has five points like a slap, while the leaf of the mantou fruit has only three points.

The appearance of the two kinds of fruits is also different. The shape of the mantou fruit is very round, which is about the same shape as the mantou. The bread, fruits and vegetables are almost in the shape of a football. The size is the same as that of a papaya. It looks big but is quite light.

The soldiers who clicked on the number of these trees came back quickly to report the results. There were a total of 120 trees, 60 each of the bread fruit tree and the steamed bun fruit tree.

The area composed of these 120 trees is not small, probably as large as 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, a grove composed of 120 trees covers an area of ​​five or six acres of land, and there are many weeds and other plants growing 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 mantou fruit, and then sent a team to station nearby to see what was going on in the grove.

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

Because of the harvest of mantou fruit and bread fruit, the army had enough to eat 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.

Now that they have breadfruit and mantoufruit, they don't have to worry about being hungry again. The local soldiers who joined the army were also very happy. According to the leader's intention, if more saplings of mantou fruit and bread fruit can be cultivated and promoted for planting, their families can also have enough food.

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.

After the research of experts, rice crackers can be planted in the mountain forests in the south and north, but they may not be able to grow in the northwest. Therefore, those saplings that have just been cultivated are given priority to promotion in other places in the south and north.

Except for the high-yielding sweet potatoes and potatoes in the northwest, there are no other plants that can be promoted.

Because of such high-yield 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, not to mention that they prefer to eat pasta. Although sweet potatoes and potatoes can also fill their stomachs, they will get tired easily if they eat 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 it's impossible for them to complain that they eat too many sweet potatoes and don't want to eat them, and they want to eat pasta or something.

After harvesting the breadfruit and mantoufruit, not only the soldiers of this unit ate it, but also some were sent to the Northwest Research Institute for the hard-working experts to eat.

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

As a result of the reporting of these two plants, a group of biology, agriculture, and plant experts who originally studied rice crackers, oil fruits and other plants in the south came to study breadfruit and steamed breadfruit.

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