Ji Tang

Chapter 630 Harvest and Return

Facts have proved that in this barbaric land where there are basically no people, anything can happen. Even an inconspicuous plant may be something of great value to the Tang Dynasty.

"Isn't this stuff poisonous?"

Xue Li looked at the red, fist-sized, and pleasant-looking thing in front of him and said uncertainly.

"Impossible! There is a large area growing there, and I saw many wild animals eating it. If it were poisonous, they would have been poisoned to death long ago."

A man who looked honest and honest said anxiously.

This thing was the first thing he discovered. At first he thought it was a flower, but when he walked in, he took a look.Oh my god, everywhere you look, there are these red fruits, some are green, and some are half red and half green.

There were many small animals eating them nearby, and they were badly damaged.

"Let's give it a try!" Tang Jian finally decided at the insistence.

Although the soldier was still a little unwilling, he had given the order, and as a soldier, he had no choice but to execute it.

Soon, the soldiers came back. Most of them were dejected. It seemed that they had gained nothing.

But many people also brought back some wild fruits, extremely beautiful flowers, and unknown plants.Some people even brought back a very beautiful bird, and they even boasted that they would take it back and present it to the Queen.

Tang Jian rolled his eyes and dedicated it to his empress?I bet you can figure it out.

There was no talking all night, and everyone gathered at the entrance of the cave early the next morning.

Yesterday, some things were eaten by the experimental beasts. Today is the time to see the results. At this time, someone is observing the status of these little things.

"Reporting to Duke Tang, three of them are dead, two are in poor condition, and the others are fine."

Then he compared yesterday's marks and told which ones died due to what they ate, which ones were in poor condition, and which ones were fine.

Hearing that what he found was poisonous, the soldier was saddened and vowed to find something good next time.

People who were in poor condition were also dejected, saying that the things they found were of low value; but when they heard that they were safe and sound, they immediately beamed with joy, and everyone sent their blessings!

But this is not the end. Those who are not poisonous or in poor condition will of course be eliminated immediately and cannot be brought to the Tang Dynasty.

But others should also be tasted. If they don’t taste good, even if they don’t kill people, their value will be greatly reduced.

It's delicious, non-toxic, and looks pretty good.Congratulations to you, even if you can't be promoted, as long as you bring it back to Datang, you will get a huge bonus.

Picking up the red fruit, Tang Jian hesitated and took a bite.

Although it is non-toxic, no one knows what it tastes like.

So eating this thing is like opening a blind box, you never know whether it will be a surprise or a shock!

"what!"

As soon as he took it into his mouth, Tang Jian's eyes lit up.

I didn't expect this thing to be quite delicious, sour and sweet, with a unique flavor.

"Not bad, not bad! It's like a fruit, but it's also like a vegetable. But you've done a good job."

The general who found this thing looked at Tang Jian eagerly, and when he heard his evaluation, he instantly beamed with joy.

Then everyone tried it and thought it was good.

After that, others started trying other nontoxic things.But it's a pity that only a few of them taste good, and the others are either not delicious or of little value.

This is not surprising. The Tang Dynasty is rich in resources, but there are only a few types of food that can be eaten. Although it is a barbaric place, it is impossible for everything to be edible, right?

If this were the case, this place would no longer be a wilderness, but a fairyland.

Everyone was not disappointed for long before they set off again.They had only explored a little bit and already they had gained so much. If they had gone a little further, maybe they would have found something good?
Tang Jian didn't care about them, since they were idle anyway.

This mountain range is huge and the products are rich, so I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

Then he told him not to provoke those wild beasts. Thinking of yesterday's scene, he broke into a cold sweat.He almost died!

Everyone laughed and nodded quickly. If this was in the army, it might be dealt with by military law.

Alarming the coach and almost killing him, this is a serious crime of beheading!

In the following days, everyone explored further and further away and brought back more and more things.But unfortunately, there is nothing comparable to what Xue Li found.

So far, only finding the red fruit that day was interesting.

Time passed quickly, half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the agreed deadline was reached.If they don't go back, Ji Qing and others will probably become anxious.

"We can't wait any longer. It was originally ten days, but now it's half a month. We don't have time to waste." Tang Jian said.

"But there are still many things that are not yet mature. If we leave now, these things will have no seeds. It would be a pity to give up." Xue Li said regretfully.

"It's no pity. If we can come once, we can come two or three times. We can't leave any seeds this time. We'll just come next time." Tang Jian said indifferently.

To be honest, it has exceeded his expectations now.It's nice to find not only one food to satisfy your hunger, but also several fruits and vegetables.

As for other stuff?Tang Jian shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't like it, but even if he brought those things back, they wouldn't be of much use. At most, they would only satisfy the appetites of some powerful people.

Now that we have found the place, we will come back next time.

If that doesn't work, you can also bring samples and ask the bison tribe people to help find them.With their familiarity with this land, I believe they will not let him down.

"Okay! I'm going to pack my things right now." Xue Li also knew the seriousness of the matter. If he didn't return for a long time, Ji Qing would definitely be anxious.

Anyway, the thing is here and can't escape.Just come back if you have the chance.

Soon, everyone took away everything they wanted to take away, not only the seeds, but also all the fruits they could carry. They didn't stop until they couldn't carry any more!
Some seeds can no longer be brought, so there is no need to be polite about some edible things.

The red fruits looked really pleasing to the eye. Everyone took away all they could eat and left the mountain range where they had gained a lot with smiles.

In fact, it is not surprising at all that they found these things in this mountain range. If Ji Song were here, he would immediately recognize that this is the southwest of the United States in later generations, not far to the north of Mexico.

The climate here is pleasant, the species is rich, and there are many things distributed on the special terrain of the mountains.

Because the climate is very different in the morning and evening on the mountain and down the mountain, the top of the mountain, the mountainside, and the lower part of the mountain, plants with different habits can grow. This is why they can find so many things on one mountain.

On the way back, there is a simple path that was opened on the way out. As long as we are protected from attacks by ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, we can walk very quickly.

It took me ten days to get here, but it didn't even take three days to go.

When everyone saw the camp in the distance, they all cheered.Just a few dozen days seemed like a long time passed.
