    This doctor is a very lively and young doctor. He was sent to the northwest.  However, there is nothing bad about his background. He just returned from studying medicine abroad and worked in the hospital for a year before he was reported and transferred.

    His medical skills are really good, so after he was sent to the northwest, he was promoted to the army.  Of course the lives of the soldiers in the army are very important. It is a pity that this young doctor with superb medical skills was sent down to do farm work that he is not good at at all. It is better to let him come to the army to see the soldiers' injuries.

    Although the treatment of this doctor is much worse than that of other doctors, it is at least much better than that on the farm.  Look, my personality is almost the same now as it was before I was devolved.

    This doctor is still very young, in his twenties and under thirty, and because of his personality, he looks like a young man in his early twenties.

    But he is still very authoritative. Since he said they taste good and can be eaten, then breadfruit and mantou fruit are really edible.

    Even if others suspect that the young doctor wants to deceive them and make them eat unknown food, it doesn't matter. After all, in addition to this young doctor, there are many doctors in the army who have also proved that breadfruit and steamed buns are  Really edible.

    Because of what the young doctor said, everyone thinks that the fruit that tastes like whole-wheat bread is called breadfruit, and the fruit that tastes like steamed buns is called steamed bread fruit. It is simple, easy to understand, and catchy.

    When it was confirmed that breadfruit and steamed buns were edible, the army sent people to the grove to see if there were any ripe fruits and to see how many breadfruit and steamed buns could be picked.

    "Wow - are there so many trees?" The young doctor who came to join in the fun out of curiosity looked at the small forest in front of him and said in surprise.

    It has been almost two years since the young doctor came to the northwest, and he has never seen such lush and beautiful woods.  Even if you could see trees before, there were only a few, and some were as miserable as just one.

    A small forest with more than a hundred trees like this was something he could only see outside the northwest before.  The northwest side is really desolate, especially where the troops are stationed.

    This small forest composed of more than a hundred trees really made him happy to see it. The green leaves were really comfortable to look at.

    "Have you ever counted how many trees there are in this forest?" the leader asked, looking at the small forest in front of him.

    "Report! No."

    ¡°Then go and count.¡±

    "yes!"

    Breadfruit trees and steamed bun fruit trees are two different trees. Even though their fruits are both staple foods, the shapes of their trunks, leaves, and crowns are different.

    The bark of the breadfruit tree is round and smooth, soft to the touch.  The bark of the mantou fruit tree is similar to the bark of the longan tree, with a lot of deep grooves.

    As for the leaves, the leaves of the breadfruit tree are very large, about the size of an adult's palm. The edges of the leaves are rounded streamlines, and the shape of the leaves is oval.

    The leaves of the steamed bun fruit tree are also about the size of a palm, but they are indeed elongated. Although the edges of the leaves are also rounded and streamlined, they are almost as zigzag as maple leaves.  It's just that the maple leaves have five tips like a palm, while the leaves of the steamed bun fruit only have three tips.

    The appearance of the two fruits is also different. The appearance of the steamed bun fruit is very round, roughly similar to the shape of a steamed bun.  The bread, fruits and vegetables are similar in shape to a rugby ball.  The size is the same as that of a papaya. It looks big but is quite light in weight.

    The soldiers who counted the number of these trees quickly came back and reported the results. There were a total of one hundred and twenty trees, sixty each of breadfruit trees and steamed bun fruit trees.

    The area composed of these one hundred and twenty trees is not small, covering about five or six acres of land.  Because these trees are not planted strictly according to the spacing in the orchard, but grow randomly, and the spacing between each tree is not the same.

    Therefore, a small forest composed of 120 trees covers an area of ??five or six acres, and there are also many weeds and other plants sprouting on the ground below these trees.

    "One hundred and twenty trees." The leader looked at this small forest and asked people to pick the ripe breadfruit and steamed bun fruits. Then he sent a team of people to station nearby to see what was going on in this small forest.

    Of course, they also need to report the situation of these two plants to see if the same plants are found in other places, or if these trees can be cultivated into more saplings and promoted in the northwestPlant widely.

    Because of the harvest of steamed buns and breadfruit, the troops had enough to eat that day.  Although the soldiers have subsidies, to be honest, everyone is very poor, and even they may not be able to eat every meal.

    And now that they have breadfruit and steamed bread fruit, they don¡¯t have to worry about being hungry again in the future.  The local soldiers who joined the army were also very happy. According to the leadership, if more mantou fruit and breadfruit saplings could be cultivated and planted, their families would be able to have enough to eat.

    High-yield plants such as sweet potatoes, rice crackers, and oil fruits have been promoted before, but only sweet potatoes and potatoes can be promoted to the northwest.

    After research by experts, rice crackers can be planted in mountain forests in the south and north, but they may not be able to grow in the northwest.  Therefore, those newly cultivated saplings are prioritized for promotion in other places in the south and north.

    Except for sweet potatoes and potatoes, which are high-yielding and don¡¯t pick on the ground, there are no other plants that can be promoted here in the northwest.

    ¡°Because of such high-yielding sweet potatoes and potatoes, people in the northwest don¡¯t have to worry about starving to death.  But it takes time to eat well, not to mention that they prefer to eat pasta. Although sweet potatoes and potatoes can fill their stomachs, they will easily get tired of them if they eat too much.

    It¡¯s just that in such an environment, it¡¯s good enough to be able to fill their stomachs without starving to death. It¡¯s impossible for them to complain that they eat too many sweet potatoes and don¡¯t want to eat anymore, and they want to eat pasta or something even more.

    After the breadfruit and steamed bread fruits were harvested, they were not only eaten by the soldiers of this unit, but also some were sent to the Northwest Research Institute for the experts who worked hard to do research.

    Life is very difficult for everyone. Although those experts are important experts, their treatment is not necessarily much better.  Now that there are good foods like breadfruit and mantou fruit, of course they have to send them to the experts.

    The result of the reporting of these two plants is that a group of biological, agricultural, and plant experts who were originally studying rice crackers, oil fruits and other plants in the south came to study breadfruit and steamed bread fruits.

    Breadfruit and steamed bun fruit are also very important. If they can be promoted in the northwest, it can at least reduce the desertification of the land in the northwest and fill the stomachs of the northwest, killing two birds with one stone.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
