The last dragon ever

Chapter 102 Mint Leaves

Because the tribe needs to grow plants, the people of the Sun tribe are also used to bringing back some plants that they have never brought before to show the Dragon God whether they can eat them, so the variety of plants that can be eaten in the tribe has increased greatly.

There are several kinds of cabbage alone.Palm-sized to calf-high, dark green to light green, the taste is always refreshing, or sweet, or clear, it's all different.

On this day, people from the Sun Tribe brought back a strange plant. It is said that if the juice of this thing sticks to the hands, it will be cold.

"Dragon God, can't I be poisoned?" The young man held the leaf in front of Yang Luyun, and said uncertainly, "I got this thing, and it was cold. But my hands don't seem to be swollen." ..."

That thing is green, the leaves are close to oval, the top is slightly pointed, and the leaves look a little uneven, not smooth enough.When Yang Luyun saw it, his eyes lit up: "This is mint leaves. This is a good thing. It is not only medicine, but also edible."

As soon as he heard that it was a good thing, the young man was happy: "Really? Then this can be eaten like cabbage, stir-fried?"

Yang Luyun shook his head: "This is not a dish, it cannot be fried and eaten, but it can be soaked in water and drunk as tea. Especially in summer, isn't it easy to get hot? If you soak such a cup with water, you will feel cool after drinking it Yes, it’s very comfortable. But people with weak stomachs should not drink too much.”

"Oh, it's tea!" The young man was a little disappointed.

The tribe has discovered a lot of things that can be used to make tea. Tea is drunk with water, which is no different from drinking water alone, except that one has a taste and the other does not.

Seeing his appearance, Yang Luyun laughed: "It is not only tea, but also medicine. Didn't I say it before? Mint and apricot can invigorate the stomach and expel wind, eliminate phlegm, benefit gallbladder, and resist spasm. , swelling and pain, and eliminate headaches, toothaches, nausea, and can also be used as a moisturizing lotion for anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling. I have said so much, you may not understand, but you are right to take it to the wizard Aqiluo , in the future, if you feel that your forehead is hot, your throat hurts, your teeth hurt, etc., you can pick a few pieces and put them in your mouth to chew, which will be beneficial."

"Is it a medicine? Great, we have found another medicine." The young man cheered up.

Although you can't eat less food, medicine is also a very precious thing.With so many people in the tribe, someone is always uncomfortable here and there.If there is medicine, many of your problems can be solved in the future.

He laughed so hard that his teeth were exposed.

"Don't you always feel fishy? When cooking fish soup, put a little bit to get rid of the fishy smell."

"Yeah!" The young man nodded quickly, took this thing, and went to find the wizard A Qiluo. Of course, he didn't forget to tell the women in the tribe about the usefulness of this thing.

That night, when the women were cooking the fish soup, they put it in.

When the young man drank the fish soup, he tasted it specially, and he really felt that the bad taste was gone, so he smiled and showed his teeth again.

The wilderness has almost been opened, and the sweet potatoes in the field have also sprouted, and they have begun to grow.People who have nothing to do all day running in the fields, when they see the purple leaves, they laugh like something.

Yang Luyun went to the cave again to confirm the sprouting condition of the potatoes inside and the sprouting condition of the remaining sweet potatoes.

In fact, planting sweet potato buds is quite a waste, but there was only a little wasteland opened last year, and there are not many to grow, so we can only do this first.

Yang Luyun asked the men to take out the sweet potatoes first and plant them in the newly opened wasteland.If you have a lot of land, don't worry, wait until the sweet potato vines in the field grow out, then cut them off and insert them into the soil.

"Put it into the soil?" The men in the tribe couldn't believe it, "Dragon God, can you live like this?"

"Yes, the vitality of sweet potatoes is very strong, and it is cheap to support. When the vines grow, you can plant some in front of and behind the house, but the soil that has not been loosened may not grow well."

"It's okay, as much as you can plant, it's better than nothing." The people in the tribe don't know the difference between the soil pine and the pine, but as long as they can live.

The leader Xia and the leader Yao immediately led the people of the tribe, cut the sweet potato seeds into pieces, and wrapped them with a layer of plant ash (that is, the ash from burning firewood when cooking), with the buds facing upwards. Cover the ground with a thin layer of soil.

Those in charge of cutting are responsible for wrapping ashes, those in charge of planting are in charge of planting, those in charge of boiling water are in charge of boiling water, and the work is done within a few days.

Leader Yao patted Leader Xia on the shoulder and said, "I found out that this kind of land is easier than opening up wasteland. We have been driving this land for so many days that our waist is almost broken. This kind of land is very fast."

"It's tiring to open up wasteland. The land has to be dug again, and the soil has to be removed and planted with plant ash. It's hard work. Only when the land is tidied can it be easy to plant. But don't think that it's okay, you need to do it every once in a while." Come and see if the ground is dry. If it is dry, you need to water it. If it rains, you don’t need to water it. You also need to see if there are weeds growing in the ground. When weeds grow, you have to pull them out. When you pull them out, you must look carefully. , don’t pull out the plants you planted..."

Leader Xia planted for a period of time last year, and he knew the general process, so Balabala said a lot.

The leader Yao nodded, he couldn't imagine seeing everyone's busy figures.If the dragon god hadn't appeared, probably they only knew hunting in this life, right?

Looking at it, he found that there seemed to be many open spaces on the other side of the ground.

"Chief Xia, is there still space over there?"

"Oh, it's okay, the Dragon God said, don't be afraid of how much land you have, you can plant something else?" When the land was opened before, the Dragon God didn't mind it, but just opened a little more, as much as possible.

"What to plant?" Isn't the potato and sweet potato finished?

"Isn't there a piece of land next to our tribe?"

The leader Yao nodded: "I know that piece of land. I have visited it before and planted a lot of things that I don't know."

When I went to see it at that time, I still planted sweet potatoes, saying that it was for planting some seedlings.

"It's normal if you don't know it. I don't know many of them. They were all brought back by the young people of the tribe when they went out. The Dragon God confirmed that they could eat, and they would bring more and transplant them to the side. The Dragon God said, then The things on the plot are all for experiments. As long as they are edible, they can be used. It doesn’t matter if they are planted well or not. A little bit can grow things that don’t eat very long and grow faster, so it’s easier for everyone to handle..."

The leader Yao nodded: "Then I have to let the people of our tribe learn from the people of your tribe. You have grown so many things and have experience, which is better than our own blind thinking."

"Hahahaha... That's definitely, many things, we are the second time to plant, familiar hands. In the future, when you go out hunting, if you encounter plants that have never been seen in the tribe, you can also bring them back to the Dragon God to see. Maybe it’s edible. We used to focus on animals, but in fact, many plants can be eaten and fill our stomachs.”

"Yeah, luckily I met the Dragon God, otherwise everyone would be hungry."
