Chapter 96 Special Goods
With a broken face, Zach stopped me from rummaging through his house. This feeling of digging three feet into the ground was really terrifying.
"Hey, I've convinced you. Stop it. I still have some special goods here. Come and take a look."
After Zach finished speaking, he pulled out a large oak box from under the bed in the house. It was covered with traces of wind, sun, insects, and water erosion. It was an old antique that had gone through countless winds and rains and persisted until now.
"These things were brought by my friend Huo An before, and they have been kept here since they were not sold."
I motioned to Jay to go up and have a look, but the tribal girl shook her head and said, "I don't understand these things at all, just listen to Marcus!"
"Okay, let me take a look."
I was not polite, so I went up to see what Zach had brought out and listened to his introduction one by one.
"Cabbage seeds. Cabbage is a plant of the Brassica family and the genus Brassica, and is a variant of cabbage. It is also known as cabbage, cabbage, cabbage, cabbage, cabbage, cabbage, lotus white, etc. It is cold-resistant, disease-resistant, and adaptable
, easy to store and transport, high yield, good quality and other characteristics, it is commonly cultivated throughout the mainland and is one of the main vegetables that can be grown in spring, summer and autumn."
Cabbage? I didn’t expect that Zach even had such a good thing here. From the box he opened, it looked like there were two other goods, were they also of this type?
"Pineapple seeds. Pineapple is one of the tropical fruits. Pineapple is native to tropical areas and is suitable for areas with high temperature and drought. Now it has spread to the entire tropical area. Its edible part mainly consists of the fleshy enlarged inflorescence axis, which is arranged in a spiral shape.
It is composed of peripheral flowers. The flowers are usually not strong, and the persistent perianth lobes form a cavity, which contains shrunken stamens and styles. The fiber of the leaves is very tough and can be used for fabrics, rope making, netting and paper making. "
Pineapple seeds are also good. You can eat them as fruit when you grow them. You can also plant some in pastures to improve your life.
"Green pepper seeds, green peppers belong to the plant kingdom, Dicotyledonae, Asteraceae, Solanaceae. Together with red peppers, they are collectively called peppers. The fruits are berries. There are many other names, such as big pepper, bell pepper, and bell pepper, because they can
It bears sweet berries, also called sweet peppers and vegetable peppers. It is an annual or perennial herbaceous plant, characterized by larger fruits, less spicy or even not spicy at all. It is eaten as a vegetable and not as a seasoning. Green peppers have been cultivated, domesticated and artificially for a long time.
The selection results in changes in the fruit’s characteristics such as increased size, thicker flesh, disappearance of spiciness, and increased number of carpels and ovary cavities.”
Zach talked a lot and felt a little thirsty. He drank a large glass of water before he recovered. "I have thirty bags of each of these special seeds. Tell me, which one do you like?"
It seems that Zach really has a lot of good stuff here! This trip was not in vain!
Which one to choose is the question.
Two of the three seeds are tropical plants. Before the Jay Tribe established greenhouse cultivation, there was probably no chance of planting them. However, it is not ruled out that they could find a qualified oasis in the wasteland and cultivate these two tropical plants in a short period of time.
crop.
Then we can only consider it from the perspective of demand.
Cabbage is a must. Cabbage has high water content (about 90%) and low calories. Cabbage can improve human immunity, prevent colds, and ensure the quality of life of cancer patients. Cabbage ranks fifth among anti-cancer vegetables.
.Fresh cabbage contains phytoncide, which has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. It has a certain effect on throat pain, trauma and swelling, mosquito bites, stomachache, and toothache.
At the same time, cabbage contains vitamin C, dietary fiber, and carotene, which can lower cholesterol, lower blood lipids, and prevent atherosclerosis. It is an auxiliary dietary dish for patients with arteriosclerosis and obese people. Therefore, cabbage is a garbage collector for the blood.
With these effects, cabbage, as an important vegetable after the tribe planted potatoes in large quantities, will definitely bring important positive benefits.
Moreover, cabbage only takes eighty days to mature and can be harvested in large quantities within three months. It must be on the item list.
But pineapples are a bit difficult. Pineapples are native to tropical high-temperature and arid areas. They like warm weather. They are most suitable for growth at an annual average of 24-27 degrees Celsius. They can grow in the range of 15-40 degrees Celsius. They grow slowly below 15 degrees Celsius and basically stop below 10 degrees Celsius.
For growth, 5℃ is the critical temperature for cold damage.
In the place where the jays are, if it is autumn and winter, it will definitely be too late to harvest, and it can only be harvested once in spring and summer. Similarly, although pineapples are highly drought-tolerant, they still need a certain amount of water for growth and development.
It can grow in areas of 500-2800mm, but 1000-1500mm and evenly distributed is the most suitable.
Pineapple contains a substance called "pineapple prionase", which can break down protein, help digestion, dissolve fibrin and blood clots blocked in tissues, improve local blood circulation, dilute blood lipids, eliminate inflammation and edema, and promote
Blood circulation. Especially after eating too much meat and greasy food, it is more appropriate to eat some pineapple, which can prevent fat deposition. Pineapple is also essential for the unhealthy diet of the jay tribe.
What's more, pineapple leaves can also be used for fabrics, rope making, netting and paper making, and can be used as raw materials for handicrafts. That should be added to the list.
The last green pepper... Although the flesh of green pepper is thick and crisp, it is rich in vitamin C. Green fruits contain about 93.9% water, about 3.8% carbohydrates, and vitamin C; red ripe fruits contain up to 460 mg of vitamin C. They can be eaten cold.
Stir-fried, cooked, stuffed, pickled and processed into cans and preserves, it is a very good food.
However, the temperature requirements of this plant are adapted to a temperature range of 15 to 35°C, the suitable temperature range is 25 to 28°C, and the germination temperature is 28 to 30°C. The water conditions are moist and it is afraid of droughts and floods, so it requires the soil to be moist without water accumulation.
In that kind of wasteland, I can't be satisfied at all. Not only is there no guarantee of flowering, but I guess even the normal germination of the seeds will have to be left to fate.
"How about it, Marcus? Have you decided which one you want?"
Zach asked earnestly, hoping that I would finish my selection and leave quickly, so as not to disrupt his peaceful life again.
I thought for a long time and finally said slowly: "I have decided..."
"What has been decided? Come on, choose one!" Zach's eyes sparkled eagerly.
"I have decided...children only do multiple-choice questions..."
"I want them all!"
I slowly spoke what was in my heart. A certain old man with white hair and a red hat said it well. Whatever you choose, why don’t you just take them all away?
"Hey, Marcus, this is what Huo An kept here. It might not be good to take it all away..." Zach said awkwardly, his hands trembling uncontrollably. On the other side was the big profiteer who plucking the hair of the goose.
Huo An, on one side is Marcus, the village tyrant who is three feet tall. This choice is too difficult... Can I choose not to take it at all?
"Don't worry about such small things, Zach!" I packed up the seeds and took them away, and closed the door with Jay.
"When Gu Legu gives me money another day, I will pay the bill again. I will definitely not refuse to pay! I have to leave beforehand!"
Zach stared at the empty box dumbfounded, standing there with no tears in his eyes. After a long time, he confirmed that we had left, and then he carefully opened the other corner of the box.
"Fortunately, the seeds of the flowers were not taken away..."
Chapter completed!
