Chapter 232 The Bread Tree Really Is a Bread Tree

"Get one and try it!" Kong Yi said excitedly.

Hearing this, a soldier rushed over and took the biggest fruit from the pile, smashed it open and handed it to Kong Yi.

Looking at the white pulp that had been broken into small pieces, Kong Yi moved his index finger, picked up a piece and tasted it in his mouth.

Kong Yi frowned, this taste can't be said to be delicious, nor can it be said to be bad, it tastes like a gentleman and weird.

"Boss, is this delicious?" Shi Hu asked expectantly.

Kong Yi curled his lips and said, "The taste is mediocre, but this thing should be able to fill you up. You can use this thing to satisfy your hunger when there is no food. You should try some of it too!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at the pile of fruits suspiciously, each picked up one and tasted it, and then their expressions became like Kong Yi's, and put the fruit down after taking a few mouthfuls.

"It wasted so much effort, I thought this fruit was delicious." Shi Hu said with a sigh.

"You can't say it's a waste of effort. As long as it's edible, it's useful. How about it! When you transport the ore back, pack some and bring it back to the leader to taste." Kong Yi said.

Everyone nodded and dispersed after a while.

The slaves worked profusely under the scorching sun, and from time to time one or two slaves would fall to the ground due to their weakness.

In order to waste precious slave resources, Kong Yi didn't let the soldiers execute the fallen slaves, but ordered people to drag them out, tie them with ropes, and throw them into a cool place.

After four days of working on the pit, the slave prison was finally completely completed. After the wooden fence was fixed to the pit, the soldiers drove all the slaves into it.

With the prison to hold these slaves, the soldiers can be said to be completely relaxed. Although they don't have to do these physical tasks, it is also a very exhausting thing to stare at these slaves who may riot at any time with high mental tension.

On this day, the soldiers sent by Kong Yi also arrived here.

The messenger, after seeing Kong Yi, saluted Kong Yi and his party, and then told Kong Yi the reward that Wang Lang had set.

After hearing the good news, the soldiers immediately boiled.

At night, Kong Yi searched for the two messengers, and the copper mining camp had a carnival all night.

Before the messenger left, Kong Yi asked people to pick seven or eight breadfruit fruits from the tree and asked them to take them back to Wang Lang.

Salt Village, Forest Fire Camp.

The road is still under construction. At this moment, the passage opened in this jungle is 800 meters long. After the roots were dug out, there were pits left on the road, which looked like measles The spots on the patient's body are normal.

The big trees fell down one by one, scaring the surrounding wild beasts to dare to appear here, only the ubiquitous insects were not afraid of the barbaric invasion of humans.

"General, according to the speed, we will arrive at the place where cucumbers grow in four or five days." A soldier reported.

Lin Huo nodded and said: "Keep working harder, we can rest for a day or two when the road is repaired there, this place is full of bugs, it's really enough."

The soldier nodded and said, "General! We are fine here, and you can go back to the tribe to rest for a while."

Lin Huo looked at the situation of the slaves, nodded, and said, "Okay, I will leave this place to you, and there must be no trouble."

"Don't worry, general, whether it's wild beasts or these slaves, as long as they dare to come and make trouble, the spears in our hands can see blood." The soldier laughed.

After Lin Huo explained a few words, he took two soldiers and returned to the tribe through this potholed road.

At this time, in the tribe, Wang Lang was looking curiously at the bread tree fruit brought back by the soldiers who sent the message.

Wang Lang opened one and tasted it, his eyes lit up immediately, the amount of starch contained in this fruit was simply beyond his imagination.

"That's how it is. No wonder this thing is called a bread tree. With so much starch baked, it must be bread. If you add some baking powder and steam it, it will be a steamed bun!"

Wang Lang immediately understood why this kind of tree was called bread tree.

The largest of these fruits is like a leaf, and the small one is the size of a fist, which is simply a treasure in Wang Lang's eyes.

With so much starch, as long as it is dried and crushed, it becomes natural flour. After eating millet for so long, Wang Lang almost forgot what pasta tastes like.

At this time, Lin Huo also returned to the tribe from the camp.

Lin Huo was about to report the progress of the project to Wang Lang, but found that Wang Lang was concentrating on playing with the strange fruit on the ground, and he didn't even notice that he came over.

"Lang, what are these?" Lin Huo asked curiously.

Wang Lang looked up and saw that Lin Huo had come back, he hurriedly said, "You came just in time, Kong Yi and the others brought good things."

"Are these the fruits?" Lin Huo asked in surprise.

Wang Lang nodded and said, "That's it. These are all good things. We will be able to eat delicious food again from now on."

Lin Huo was overjoyed. He picked up a fruit from the ground and knocked it. When he found that the shell was very hard, he picked up a stone and smashed the shell open a few times.

After taking a few mouthfuls, Lin Huo frowned, and said, "The taste of this food is average, and it's far worse than the kind of fruit we've eaten before."

Wang Lang said with a smile: "The most necessary use of this thing is not to eat it raw, there are other ways to eat it."

Lin Huo was taken aback, and asked curiously, "How to eat?"

Wang Lang smiled mysteriously and said, "These fruits are not many, so I won't share them with others. Call Kong Er tonight, and the three of us will taste the fruit tonight."

Seeing Wang Lang's self-confidence, Lin Huo suddenly felt itchy, and whispered, "Shouldn't you call me Bark?"

"Don't call him anymore. It will take more than a day for this guy to come back. I can't wait to eat this food." Wang Lang swallowed, looking at these fruits, his saliva was about to flow out.

Seeing that Wang Lang, who is very calm in the face of everything, has such a greedy look, Lin Huo became even more curious about this thing. Not many saw this thing, and felt that what Wang Lang said made sense. What, try it yourself first.

"What should I do with Lang?" Lin Huo asked.

"Go find some big leaves now." Wang Lang ordered.

Hearing this, Lin Huo didn't care what he was looking for for the leaves, so he hurriedly got up and took a few soldiers to the edge of the deep forest to get back a bunch of large plant leaves.

"Lang, are these enough?" Lin Huo said excitedly.

"That's enough, now break open these fruits and put the pulp inside on the leaves." Wang Lang said.
