The flesh of this watermelon is not red, nor yellow, but a kind of light yellow that is greenish.
The whole watermelon exudes a fragrance similar to the combination of cucumber and watermelon. In short, it does not look very serious.
"Why the watermelon is this color, shouldn't it be red?" Lin Qingyu asked with some doubts.
The seeds of watermelon look very normal, they are the seeds of watermelon, but the flesh looks a bit like kiwi fruit and smells like cucumber.
Seeing melon flesh gives people a not-so-sweet visual impact!
Lin Qingxuan and Han Qianluo are also staring at Zhao Yunxiang. At this time, someone needs to come out to answer. Old Zhao has always understood a lot. Generally, the author knows, he knows, this is the protagonist!
Zhao Yunxiang saw this watermelon on TV. It was produced in Africa. It can be said that this is the ancestor of modern watermelon.
The fruits we know are all produced under human interference!
We must know that all species have a strong thirst for survival, as are fruits and wheat. They were discovered by humans tens of thousands of years ago.
Many of the fruits at that time were not tasty, but were domesticated by humans for several generations. Under strong interference, fruits were derived to please humans and obtain more survival opportunities.
"This is probably a kind of wild watermelon!" Zhao Yunxiang looked up at the sky and said calmly, "In Africa, there is an ancient people called Bushmen. They plant wild watermelons and wait until the dry season to pick them. Take the watermelon, and even use the plant ash to **** out the water in the wild watermelon and use it to bathe.
"Take a bath with watermelon?" Lin Qingyu was greatly shocked, "666666..."
"Can this one be eaten?" Han Qianluo stared down at the green flesh of the watermelon. "I remember that there was a wild watermelon in the desert. Eating less can cure diseases, and if you eat more, you will die. Are the two the same? "
"No!" Zhao Yunxiang nodded affirmatively, "The flesh of that kind of watermelon is pure white, not this green."
The watermelon was cut by Zhao Yunxiang, and he divided it among several people, including monkeys.
"Leave the seeds as much as possible and leave them to monkeys to nurture them. I hope to nurture red melon watermelons as soon as possible." Although he was resistant, Zhao Yunxiang knew the fruits were hard to come by, so he took a bite resolutely.
Sure enough, the taste is the same as watermelon, but it is fleshy, not very crisp, and the juice is not as rich as modern watermelon.
As for the taste, you can understand it as cucumber.
"Is this cucumber good?" Zhao Yunxiang gnawed the melon and asked the girls.
"Quiet your thirst~!" Han Qianluo gnawed his mouth and spit out the seeds, which were all stored on a leaf.
I usually eat melons at home, the seeds are particularly annoying, but here, the seeds are precious, because all the plant seeds can take root and germinate.
On the desert island, everything is precious and needs to be cherished!
Soon, a watermelon of about 3.8 kilograms was eaten. This melon with extremely low sugar content is not delicious, but a few people still ate it with respect.
"If this is the ancestor of watermelon, I would like to know how modern watermelons are sweetened!" Lin Qingxuan asked with a pursed mouth.
There are more than tens of thousands of creatures on the earth, and the most successful evolution is plants!
After all, plants appeared hundreds of millions of years earlier than animals!
Plants basically cover the world, and there are traces of these things in water, land, and ground.
"It is said that watermelon was planted in ancient Egypt. It must have been this wild watermelon at the beginning. Later, the watermelon changed from green to a little red in the center. Later, in order to please humanity, the watermelon changed itself and became very sweet."
Zhao Yunxiang explained, "Just like the current apples, the apples were eaten lazily by the earth and excreted in many corners. The apples at the beginning were not delicious. After being planted by humans, the apples changed in order to strengthen themselves. ."
All living things will evolve. In extreme environments, plants will evolve tenaciously, such as weeds in the crevices of rocks.
In a pleasant environment, plants will follow the wishes of the cultivator and evolve into the needs of the public, just like most common fruits today. They know how to please humans, and humans are their umbrella.
In this way, the seeds of the watermelon are ready to be taken home, but Changyou doesn't like this watermelon very much, mainly because it is not tasty!
"Monkey, are you confident?" Zhao Yunxiang tilted his head and asked the monkey.
As a professional cultivating plant, monkeys are confident about everything, but this time they came out and found three kinds of plants.
One is a close relative of cumin, fennel, and another is Bidens, and wild watermelon.
Fortunately, Bidens is just a matter of planting it in the ground and allowing it to take root and sprout quickly. Anyway, Zhao used it to repel mosquitos.
Of course, Bidens can also treat poisonous snake bites, but the effect is only minimal.
Cumin... Fortunately, fennel and cumin are close relatives. As long as you interfere, you can turn into cumin. This requires a lot of energy from the monkey!
However, wild watermelon...
To be honest, monkeys don't like it very much, mainly because the skin is too thick and the throat gets stuck when swallowing.
"Confident..." said the monkey grinning, "just the way the watermelon is not so delicious."
"Uh..." Zhao Yunxiang looked at the monkey's hand, who was holding a watermelon whose peel had been bitten off.
"Monkey, tell you a joke!" Maltose suddenly interrupted.
"Girls, don't just interrupt!" The monkey scolded, and quietly took out a bamboo tube, skillfully opened the hole, and took a sip.
I have bamboo water, do you have a story?
"Say, a crooked nut came to China to eat rice dumplings. Someone asked him if the dumplings were delicious. The crooked nut said that the dumplings are delicious, but the skin of the dumplings is too old, and his voice gets stuck when he swallows. "After Maltose finished speaking, staring at the melon skin in the monkey's hand, "Is the melon skin delicious?"
"Fuck!" The monkey threw the melon skin on the ground angrily, and then said with a sigh, "My monkey eats lemons, pineapples, pineapples, and lychees. I never bring peeled ones. It's hard for the little watermelon skin to get me?"
"Awesome!"
"The monkey sky should stand!"
Monkeys have been ridiculed along the way for a long time The main reason is that eating peels is too powerful, and watermelon peels are enough. Understandably, what the **** is lychee peel?
The forest resumed its former liveliness again, the birds on the trees chirping endlessly, and the big mice in the grass are so flexible that they can actually fly away from the trees.
Moreover, the mice here are not afraid of people at all!
Along the way, it took a long detour and finally got out of the dense forest and came to the beach.
Not far away was the shelter surrounded by bamboo. Seeing the beach not far from the shelter, Zhao Yunxiang's expression immediately became tense.
The monkey also squinted, and a golden hoop appeared in his hand.
"Who?" Maltose roared, and she stared at the corner of the shelter, where someone seemed to be hiding.
"It's... it's me~!" A solitary figure walked out. Seeing this person, Han Qianluo and the twins were shocked.
