Chapter 106 Discovering Vegetables
After processing the meat, Wang Lang was able to start making vehicles with peace of mind.

He was very envious of the protagonists in those novels, who had also time-traveled. Those people could almost be said to know astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom. They knew 500 years before and 500 years after. Such strenuous effort can be said to be a disgrace to modern people.

As the saying goes, if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to travel all over the world, but most of Wang Lang's knowledge has been returned to the teacher. It is more difficult for him to use those half-understood theoretical knowledge to make usable things than fighting a beast.

Wang Lang didn't know who invented the first wheel in ancient times. If he could know the name of that person, he would like to throw himself at him now.
I don’t know if I don’t do it, and I’m startled when I do it. It’s really hard to make such a wheel that was once inconspicuous from scratch.

In order to find wood for wheels, Wang Lang took a dozen armed men and walked into the forest where he almost died.

Following the previous route, people soon came to the place where they fought the giant python. The fallen tree trunk lay there quietly, and the humid environment made its surface covered with moss. Over time, people can no longer see the traces of fighting here, and have to marvel at the power of nature.

Not even a single bone of the giant python can be seen around here. I don't know how many beasts have filled the stomachs of the giant python's corpse since we left last time.

Wang Lang didn't do much to stay here, the big tree hugged by one person is still a bit small, and it doesn't meet the conditions in his heart for making wheels.

Exploring along the unknown route to the depths of the jungle, everyone was very nervous. More than a dozen people lined up in two rows, holding spears and vigilantly observing the surrounding wind and grass.

Occasionally, there will be one or two poisonous snakes and centipedes more than half a meter long, which quietly come out of the dead leaves on the ground, making people's hairs stand on end.

Fortunately, people were vigilant enough not to be bitten by these poisons. People killed them and threw their bodies aside. Wang Lang didn't dare to try this kind of thing lightly. Snake meat can be eaten, but the big centipede looks more rotten The meat is even more disgusting, he has no desire to eat at all.

Passing through a thousand lush bushes, Wang Lang was suddenly attracted by what he saw in front of him. There were many vines clinging to the large trees in front of him.

Looking at the slender fruit on it, Wang Lang's throat moved with insatiable emotion.

"God, there are cucumbers here." Wang Lang kept shouting in his heart. After he came to this world, besides eating meat, he ate the rhizome of an unknown plant. Although those plants are non-toxic, the taste is really unflattering .

Wang Lang excitedly walked to the plant that looked like a cucumber, swallowed, and carefully peeled off some withered leaves.

Looking at the ten-centimeter-sized fruits, Wang Lang was 100% sure that this thing was a cucumber, even though the cucumber looked a little weird.

The long-lost vegetable appeared in front of his eyes, and Wang Lang couldn't help picking one off. He scraped off the fluff on the surface of the cucumber with his rough hands, and took a bite without thinking.

But immediately, Wang Lang's face suddenly became ugly, and he spat out the cucumber that he had only chewed. The brown-skinned cucumber in his hand was already very ripe, and it tasted like chewing wax in his mouth, hard The taste of the skin is extremely bad.

Kong Er thought that Wang Lang had found something good, but seeing Wang Lang's constipated expression, he knew that he was wrong. He sighed regretfully, waved his hand to let the onlookers disperse, and pay attention to vigilance.

Wang Lang knew that he was impatient, and he didn't even pay attention to whether the cucumbers were old or not. After learning his lesson, he began to look for edible tender cucumbers around here.

After a while, he was asked to find some fresh and tender cucumbers. Looking at the slightly yellowed cucumbers in his hand, Wang Lang smiled, took out one, rubbed it casually twice, and put it in his mouth. Li bit down.

Although it is not as delicious as the varieties that have been cultivated for countless generations in another world, Wang Lang still enjoys the familiar taste in this world.

Throwing the cucumber in his hand to Kong Er, he said, "Try it, when we go back, we will collect some of these things and bring them back."

Kong Er looked at the cucumber in his hand. He didn't know why Wang Lang was interested in this fruit. Following Wang Lang's example, he removed the fluff on the surface and took a bite carefully. Suddenly, the taste was overwhelmed by a taste that he had never experienced before. Taste takes over.

"Boss, what is this? It tastes good!" Kong Er said excitedly.

"This thing is called cucumber. It grows very fast. Although it can't be eaten as a staple food, it's good for seasoning." Wang Lang laughed.

Wang Lang doesn't know much about how to make cucumbers. The one he is most familiar with is scrambled eggs with cucumbers. However, the tribe doesn't have an iron pan at present, so they can't eat stir-fried vegetables for the time being. However, it is indeed a good choice to make cucumbers into pickles.

Seeing Kong Er's smiling face, the rest of the people couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

Seeing that everyone's saliva was about to flow out, Wang Lang asked everyone to pick some and try something new.

After resting for a while, everyone continued to move forward. Although the trees of this generation were thick, they still did not meet Wang Lang's requirements.

After the team continued to walk forward for half an hour, Wang Lang finally found the tree he needed. It was such a thick tree that he couldn't hold it by himself.

I found the ideal tree. Thanks to the experience of cutting down the big tree last time, with the joint efforts of more than a dozen people, I successfully cut down the big tree within an hour.

In order to save time, Wang Lang asked everyone to use a saw to cut off a section every [-] centimeters. One wooden pier can make two wheels. After a busy half day, people sawed off a total of six wooden pier to make wheels.

The wooden pier with a diameter of more than one meter is very heavy, and it is impossible to carry it out. Fortunately, this big tree is relatively regular in length, and it is barely possible for two to push one forward.

On the way back, he stopped and stopped, and there was no danger along the way. When he passed the field full of cucumbers, Wang Lang asked everyone to collect a lot of ripe cucumbers. He planned to try to grow this vegetable in the tribe.

After discovering the cucumber, Wang Lang suddenly felt that this forest was definitely a treasure land. If he could continue walking in, he might find other useful things, but the reality prevented him from doing so. We have encountered many poisons, which will definitely cause casualties if we go deep inside. Facing the threat from the West, every human hand is precious, and it is not yet time to explore this forest.
