Chapter 251 Sweet potatoes, peanuts, cherries...
"Very good!" Xiao Yu was quite satisfied with this data.
His goal was to give everyone a tattoo first, so that they could get a boost.
Once everyone reaches level five or six, they will hunt down a ferocious beast with powerful talents.
Then, using their essence and blood to refine it, after tattooing, everyone can gain powerful talents.
In that way, every warrior in Dragon City would be a powerful individual with extraordinary talent!
“We’ll be at Beast City in a day. Let’s go out for a walk and see if there’s anything we can improve,” Xiao Yu said, chuckling as he took the hand of the red-haired girl beside him.
"Mmm." Honglian hummed softly, her cheeks flushed, and let the man lead her.
In the past two days, Xiao Yu has finished compiling all the kindergarten textbooks and has started teaching them.
They were all naturally gifted, and with the added benefit of the glow-in-the-dark field, their minds were clear and their eyes were sharp.
The children learned very quickly; hundreds of them could barely read.
As for the top dozen or so, they are already learning addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of two-digit numbers.
With their help, the days when Honglian was busy and dizzy in the Hall of Merit were gone forever.
With more free time, she naturally had more time to spend with Xiao Yu.
The two were childhood sweethearts, deeply in love, and mutually attracted...
In short...the two of them are not young anymore, both over twenty years old.
So, last night, the two of them spent a lot of time together and did many things they loved to do...
To prevent further disturbances, Xiao Yu gave Xinglan the medicine and sealed her door shut...
She even had two colorful butterflies release a large amount of hallucinogenic powder at her doorstep...
"Brother, these plants should all be cultivated successfully."
The two walked hand in hand in the yard when Honglian suddenly pointed to a plant and exclaimed in surprise.
"Sweet potatoes? Are they finally ripe?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu's eyes immediately lit up.
Wherever Longcheng passed, he would stop and linger for a while.
Besides the need for rest and recuperation for everyone in Dragon City and the Earth Dragon Turtle, there is also the need for hunting.
That is, Xiao Yu will have Chenlong and Tie Nan lead people to search for various plants and animals in the wilderness.
In the past month or two, the city lord's plantation has been fully planted.
Various plants that Xiao Yu did not recognize.
After all... most vegetables are not fully ripe, and you can't tell them apart just by looking at the leaves.
Moreover, he has been too busy lately and has not had time to check on many of the plants carefully.
These sweet potatoes, or rather, jicama, are just ripe.
"Brother, wait a moment, I'll dig it out for you."
Honglian reached out and parted a clump of leaves the size of her palm, carefully digging with a shovel.
Xiao Yu just smiled and didn't use earth magic to help.
Life would be too boring if you had to use superpowers for everything.
It's quite fun to do things yourself occasionally.
Especially... watching a beautiful woman working in the fields, the scene was truly...
Soon, Honglian cut off the branches and leaves, compared them and found the right spot. She pressed the shovel against the ground, pressed down with her little foot, and then pried it open, revealing three fist-sized clods of earth.
"Brother, you must try it..."
Honglian peeled off the yellowish-brown skin with her bare hands and offered the snow-white flesh to Xiao Yu's mouth.
"Okay, thank you."
Xiao Yu smiled and nodded. The aroma alone was delightful. He took a bite, and his eyes lit up. He nodded repeatedly in praise, "Excellent! It's fully ripe. It tastes just like a pear—crisp, sweet, and juicy. You should try some..."
As he spoke, he handed over the part of his mouth that he had just taken a bite of.
Honglian smiled shyly, opened her small mouth, took a small bite, and immediately looked delighted.
"In this way... Dragon City will have another type of delicious food."
“Yes, these sweet potatoes are not only crisp, sweet, and juicy, but also rich in nutrients. The key is that they have an extremely high yield!” Xiao Yu explained with a smile, recalling the records about sweet potatoes from his previous life.
In my previous life, sweet potatoes, a delicacy similar to pears, were loved by almost everyone.
Moreover... the highest yield of hybrid rice is only 3000 jin per mu, while sweet potatoes can exceed 10,000 jin per mu!
It's easy to imagine how astonishing the yield of sweet potatoes is; it absolutely surpasses most other crops!
Moreover... its adaptability far surpasses that of most vegetables; it can be grown almost anywhere.
"Like tomatoes, it can be both a vegetable and a fruit, so it's bound to be a hit."
"Let's go, let's look at the others first."
As Xiao Yu spoke, he gathered water elements in his hands and helped the red-haired girl wash her hands clean.
Then use the power of flames to dry it.
Then, the two held hands and continued to examine the area.
"Haha, I didn't expect there to be peanuts..."
At this moment, Xiao Yu was staring at a plant with leaves that looked like little fingers, his eyes shining.
He wouldn't have known what the other plants were until he dug them up.
However, he was very familiar with this thing; his family had grown it in his previous life.
Peanuts! They definitely rank in the top five of the most popular foods among Chinese people!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu had a thought and stomped his foot, using the power of the earth.
Suddenly, the ground churned, and peanut roots burst forth from the soil, revealing the peanuts hanging on them.
After all, it has the catalysis of the luminescent field, so it is growing very well.
Each plant has dozens of fruits hanging on it, each one about the size of a thumb.
"Brother, what is this...?" Honglian asked curiously, seeing Xiao Yu's excited expression.
"Hahaha... Compared to sweet potatoes, this is truly a good thing!" Xiao Yu made no attempt to hide his love and praise for peanuts.
Next, the two took a short stroll around.
Finally, they discovered that the cherry tree that Xiao Yu had dug up in the Black Wind Forest was almost ripe.
Xiao Yu used his catalytic ability to help the cherry tree fully ripen, resulting in delicious fruit.
Another surprise was the discovery of a bunch of Jerusalem artichokes.
Speaking of Jerusalem artichokes, many people born in the 90s and 00s may not know what they are.
However, Xiao Yu, as a member of the post-80s generation, grew up eating Jerusalem artichokes.
why?
Because my family was poor when I was a child!
Jerusalem artichokes are very cheap!
Jerusalem artichokes, as the name suggests, came from abroad.
Jerusalem artichokes can be eaten as a staple food, cooked directly, or used to make porridge or wine.
The most common way to eat it is to make pickles. Pickled Jerusalem artichokes can be eaten for a long time, even for several months in winter without spoiling. The key is that they have a crisp and refreshing taste and are very appetizing.
This thing, huh?
In folk tradition, it is also called "Ghost Ginger" or "Eternal Dirty Ginger".
only because...
It can be harvested for many years after a single planting, and this crop is difficult to eradicate completely.
Because of its incredible resilience, it can even grow in the desert.
Moreover, its high yield and domineering nature inhibit the growth of other plants.
Abroad, they are rampant and difficult to eradicate, even with an annual expenditure of 50 billion yuan!
In times when food was plentiful, naturally very few people would grow crops.
But... this is the wasteland era, and once this thing is planted, it can feed countless people!
