As the order was issued, the residents of Tianxu City once again mobilized en masse, carrying bags and baskets with them and rushing to the city lord's mansion.
Residents will pick all the fruits, use part for eating and the other part for storage.
In addition to the city lord's palace, there are also a large number of fruits on the cliff. Even the grass blades more than ten centimeters high are covered with mini red fruits.
It can be said that there is no plant in Tianxu City that does not bear fruit, but the size of the fruit is different.
The faces of the residents who participated in the picking were full of excitement. They have experienced the harm of food shortage, especially families with many children.
In order to be able to persist longer, Tianxu City has started to limit the supply of food. The food distributed every day is only enough to save lives.
But things are different now. With the fruits all over the mountains and fields, we no longer have to worry about our children waking up hungry in the middle of the night.
While the residents were picking fruits, large pots were erected and filled with washed fruits.
The sweet smell wafted around, causing residents to secretly swallow their saliva and make "gurgling" sounds from their stomachs from time to time.
"Come on, come on, everyone, come and get one, eat slowly, it will burn your mouth!"
The resident in charge of cooking was sweating profusely, but his face showed uncontrollable joy, and he felt full of energy.
Someone took the fruits out of the pot, piled them on the table next to them, and then started cooking the next pot.
When the residents who were working heard this, they couldn't wait to come over. They didn't care whether the freshly baked fruits were hot to their hands, they grabbed them and stuffed them into their mouths.
Feeling the sweet taste, the residents' faces lit up with joy, and they refused to spit it out even if it burned their mouths.
I was originally worried that these high-yielding fruits would not taste good, but as soon as the fruits came into my mouth, those original worries disappeared.
The fruit can indeed be used as food, and the taste is quite good. It is far more delicious and anti-hungry than the whole grains distributed every day.
The most worrying things in their hearts have been solved, and the residents of Tianxu City are full of energy and do not need supervision at all when working.
While the fruits are being picked, other work is also being done, such as slicing the fruits to dry, or sending them to caves for storage.
Later, people will be sent to guard the warehouse to prevent mold and mildew, and the inventory will be replaced in a timely manner.
These tasks are completed by dedicated personnel, and there is no need for the Loucheng monks to intervene. I believe that no one dares to make trouble in such matters.
Tianxu City became lively again. Whether it was at the top of the mountain or on the surrounding cliffs, there were busy figures everywhere.
Baskets of fragrant fruits were continuously transported into the city. Along the way, residents stood on the roadside to watch, all showing happy smiles.
In addition to the fruits produced by special vines, the aquatic plants in Tianxu Lake are also ready for picking.
It's just that these aquatic plants have mutated and began to actively hunt prey, making the lake that protects Tianxu City very dangerous.
In this case, if you want to pick fruits from the lake, you have to bear certain risks.
The residents of Tianxu City saw this and were anxious in their hearts. They really couldn't bear to let precious food go to waste like this.
In fact, when the vine fruits mature, the fruits of aquatic plants are also mature, and they are densely covered with the lake surface.
The shape of the fruit is like corn, with plump and strong grains. It looks like high-quality food at first glance.
The better the food looks, the more reluctant the residents of Tianxu City will be to part with it.
Some residents tried to use tools to pick. They obtained long wooden sticks, tied a sickle and a bag to one end, and carefully reached into the lake.
After the sickle caught the stem of the fruit, he pulled it back hard, and the fruit was cut off, and then it fell into the pocket.
It is said that by retracting the wooden pole at this time, the fruit picking can be completed, but this is not the case.
When the fruit is touched, tentacles will stretch out from the lake, tightly wrapping around the wooden pole protruding into the lake and pulling it downwards.
The resident in the experiment was caught off guard and was almost pulled into the lake. Fortunately, his companions had quick hands and eyes to catch him.
Seeing the wooden stick smashed by the tentacles, everyone was shocked. If the secret passage had fallen into the lake, it would have been shattered into pieces.
Everyone looked at each other with shock and regret in their eyes. How to pick fruits in the lake has become a problem that must be solved.
Ordinary people had no choice but to leave it to the Loucheng monks to solve the problem, and finally found Tang Zhen's head after going round and round.
As the creator of these super plants, Tang Zhenyuan understands the characteristics of plants better than anyone else. It might be easier to leave it to him to solve the problem.
After Tang Zhen got the news, he immediately went to check and found that the aquatic plants were completely out of control.
Because of the influence of demonic energy, they have turned into a special kind of semi-monster, which is completely a double-edged sword that can hurt the enemy and themselves.
Fortunately, so far, the most dangerous situation has not occurred, and Tang Zhen has enough opportunities to change this situation.
But Tang Zhen was not prepared to do this. Instead of wasting time and energy, it was better to let the plants in the water evolve freely.
If it really turns into a monster, hunt it down and get generous point rewards.
Of course, before that, we still need to solve the problem of food picking. If we rely solely on those vine fruits, we cannot completely solve the food crisis in Tianxu City.
After arriving at the lake, Tang Zhen observed carefully for a while and found that the plants in the water were in a state of crazy and out of control, and they would be attacked by them as long as they got close to the lake.
In this case, normal harvesting will definitely not be possible, and lives will be lost if you are not careful.
After staring at the lake in silence for a moment, Tang Zhen suddenly waved his hand, and then saw a chain flying out.
After the chain penetrated into the lake, it directly wrapped around an aquatic plant and tied its roots tightly.
The aquatic plants were stimulated, and the tentacles under the leaves immediately wrapped around the chain. Then Tang Zhen felt a huge force coming from the chain, trying to pull him into the lake.
Other aquatic plants also began to tremble violently, twisting their bodies and approaching the plant tied by the chain.
It turns out that in this short period of time, aquatic plants evolved rapidly and gained the ability to move in the water.
If development continues at this rate, it may not be long before they can move on land.
After observing for a short while, Tang Zhen pulled the chain hard, and then heard a "crash" sound, and a huge aquatic plant was pulled onto the bridge.
The shape of this plant looks like a mutated red octopus, with its body covered in fangs-like venomous stingers.
Perhaps because it was out of the water, the plant struggled very hard, with its huge leaves and tentacles shaking constantly, as if it had been electrocuted.
Tang Zhen took a long knife from the soldier's hand, walked slowly to the side of the aquatic plant, raised his hand and chopped it off.
One of the tentacles was cut off and trembled on the ground for a few times before being grabbed by Tang Zhen again.
Looking at the traces of the broken stubble, Tang Zhen showed a hint of surprise, and then he made an unexpected move.
He actually stuffed the tentacle into his mouth, took a hard bite, and then chewed it slowly.
The onlookers were stunned, but no one dared to ask.
They looked at Tang Zhen quietly, with different expressions on their faces and extremely complicated moods.
They invited Tang Zhen to come, just hoping that he could help solve the problem of fruit picking, but they didn't expect that Tang Zhen actually used aquatic plants as food, which was really surprising!
