Prehistoric husband and wife salted fish turn over

Why did Sun Zhixin recognize this kind of hulled wheat?Of course he does!

Sun Zhixin is wild in nature and likes traveling, exploring, and all activities related to nature.There are more places to walk, more things to see, and he can recognize things better that urbanites know but don't know why.Just like many people can't tell the difference between wheat and garlic seedlings, he can; his classmates make jokes that green beans are green beans, soybeans are soybeans, and don't know that green beans are soybeans when they are picked and dried, but he can't.

Therefore, when he saw the husks of wheat rolling all over the ground, Sun Zhixin recognized these incredible things at a glance.

The question is, how did Ulan Hart recognize it and solemnly collect it?If Ulan Hart's behavior of collecting chili peppers is still understandable to Sun Zhixin, the bright red thing looks very cute, and it is not surprising that Ulan Hart likes it.Just like some ethnic minorities now, they still have the ethnic custom of using sun-dried chilies to decorate their houses.

But why these grains of wheat were so solemnly collected by Ulan Hart, Sun Zhixin couldn't figure it out.A tribal leader who always relies on plundering for a living would put a lot of emphasis on collecting things like wheat. Sun Zhixin had only one explanation after thinking about it: other tribes in this time and space have already known the usefulness of wheat and are planting and eating it. It was discovered by Ulan Hart again, so he snatched it.As for whether she will keep it for herself or plan to plant it next year, Sun Zhixin can't guess.

Now Sun Zhixin is just thinking about two questions. One is if there are any tribes who know how to grow wheat for food. History has proved that groups who know how to grow wheat are always more prosperous.So where are they?Can you make friends with them?Even if the snowfield wolves joined his own tribe, it still seemed too weak, and a stronger Ulan Hart might be doomed, so it seemed necessary to make allies.

But this idea only flashed through Sun Zhixin's mind once and stopped, because contacting advanced tribes has great risks, and the principle of being beaten if you lag behind applies to many places, and the possibility of being swallowed up by the other party is very high. big.The friendship between the Sea Breeze Tribe and the Hunter Tribe is very unlikely in terms of probability, because the two tribes were joined together out of thin air, and the chiefs of the two tribes did not disagree because they became family members. Not necessarily.Who dares to say that the previous tribe is not the next Ulan Hart?The next Ulan Hart might be more ambitious and powerful, and could easily annex small tribes like himself.

Knowing this, Sun Zhixin became less interested in getting in touch with the tribe that could grow wheat.

Another question is what kind of wheat is the wheat that Ulan Hart got?

Maybe many people don’t know how wheat came from, but Sun Zhixin once read an article about the origin of wheat, which attributed the origin of wheat to an interesting puzzle. Common wheat cannot provide a basis for the theory of hybrid evolution of common wheat.

When it comes to the origin of common wheat, its formation is very interesting and subtle.Wheat is a total hybrid, cobbled together from genes from einkorn wheat, goatgrass, and goatgrass—kind of like a grocery store, huh?Simply put, einkorn wheat and goat grass goat grass first spell a hybrid.This hybrid evolved into emmer wheat by chance.Finally, it is hybridized with Fang Hui goat grass, and it becomes common wheat.

Now Sun Zhixin was carefully picking up all the wheat grains that had fallen on the ground one by one, trying to identify which one it was.

However, Sun Zhixin failed in the end. He was not an agronomist. He only recognized that the wheat grains on the ground should be more highly evolved common wheat that had been hybridized, but he couldn't tell whether it was winter wheat or spring wheat.One of them is planted in spring and harvested in autumn, and the other is planted in winter and harvested in summer next year. The temperature requirements are very different.

However, Sun Zhixin doesn't mind this very much. What he is eager to verify is whether the wheat obtained from Ulan Hart's relics is dead or alive. It's nothing to bake a few breads and make a few steamed buns to taste fresh.And if it is a living species - the opportunity for the tribe is here!It can even fly into the sky with the help of wheat!

yes!It was such an unexpected surprise to find wheat in Ulan Hart's relics!

For a moment, Sun Zhixin really wanted to dig Ulan Hart's body out of the snow, and kiss her face twice without hesitation.This woman is so kind!It is not wrong to be beaten half to death by her.

Seeing that Sun Zhixin had been silent for a long time, and had been picking up wheat grains with a thoughtful expression on his face, that action and expression were actually more precious than the pearls from Tiger or the animal teeth from Naru back then.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all started to help Sun Zhixin pick up the grains, picking them up one by one, and finding a good leather bag to put them in again.

Nalu looked around at everyone, and then looked down at his paws. He couldn't help with the technical work of picking up wheat grains, so he simply moved the wolf's tail to sweep the wheat grains together like a broom for everyone to pick up.This guy, his action habits are really becoming more and more wolf...

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit weird and dignified. Everyone was picking up wheat grains like picking up gold, until Naru used his tail as a broom and Buku picked up the stained wheat grains with his own father's tail. It became easier.

Sun Zhixin was also taken aback, and suddenly realized that he had fallen into a magic barrier. The importance of wheat and the changes it could bring made him a caveman in The Lord of the Rings. He paid so much attention to it that he forgot himself.

Sometimes in the world there is indeed a strange fate, what is yours is yours, and what is not yours cannot be forced, just like the extremely important wheat right now.That being the case, why not look at it with a free and easy attitude of getting my luck and not my life?

Sun Zhixin sighed, and finally he could smile easily: "Everyone wants to know what it is?"

Buku nodded desperately. He wanted to ask a long time ago, but Gemma's expression and the atmosphere of the scene made him dare not ask.

Tiger also looked at Sun Zhixin and asked, what is it that can make Xiaoxin show such an expression?

Sun Zhixin hugged the repacked wheat, grabbed a handful, felt their fullness and the wonderful texture flowing between his fingers, and sighed: "This thing is called wheat. If you get it, if it is the same as I thought It's a live seed, and we took advantage of the whole fierce battle with Ulan Hart. Thinking about it now, it seems that the woman came here to present treasures..."

"Really?" Tiger squinted, the so-called treasure was almost thrown away by him, but luckily he took it back to have a look when he saw that the leather that contained it was good.

Buku still didn't understand what wheat was, so he hurriedly asked, "Jimma, what is wheat? What is it used for?"

Sun Zhixin smiled lightly, looked at the wheat in the skin, conservatively estimated that they should weigh about two catties, and it shouldn't matter if you lose a little.So I grabbed a handful, put them in a stone bowl, and simmered them over the fire to heat and bake.

After a while, the wheat kernels were roasted, and with good luck, there was a continuous crackling sound, and more than half of them burst into popcorn.With the volume soaring, the stone bowl can't fit, but a bowl full of popcorn with brown flowers and brown flowers is really beautiful.Immediately, there was a faint scent of wheat that diffused in the air, the fragrance was alluring, with the unique aroma of popcorn.

"Ah! It smells so good!" Buku sniffed and exclaimed with infinite joy.

The sensitive noses of Nalu and Yinxing smelled this fragrance immediately, and Sun Xiaolu jumped over and stretched his mouth to eat it.

Sun Zhixin dragged it away, distributed some popcorn by himself, and said with a smile, "Try it."

As soon as Buku tasted it, he smiled and said: "I understand, wheat is used to eat like this! It's so delicious!"

Everyone is also tasting. I don’t know what kind of taste the big mouths like Naru and Yinxing can taste. All the people present who have human mouths feel very delicious after eating. The taste is very different from the food they have eaten before. .

Sun Zhixin didn't eat it. As a modern person, he didn't eat creamy popcorn, honey popcorn, etc.?In comparison, popcorn is actually the worst kind of taste. Even in stores, it is popped and then mixed with sugar to make popcorn for sale. Simple popcorn is generally not eaten.

Shaking his head and smiling: "Wheat is not just eaten like this. I just chose the most convenient way to save trouble. There are so many ways to eat it that even I can't count. Everyone thinks the taste is a bit thick, right? It really eats The method should be to use a stone mill to remove the hard shell on the surface, grind the fruit inside into a fine powder, and then use this fine powder called flour to make various foods. Such as bread, noodles, wheat porridge, steamed buns, steamed buns, Flower rolls, dumplings, deep-fried dough sticks, spring rolls...there are hundreds and thousands of them. In my place, there is a special name for the work related to making pasta with flour, Baian."

Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and Buku's saliva flowed three feet long. Can you make countless kinds of food with this?my ancestors!No wonder Gemma valued it so much, it turned out to be such a good food ingredient.

Tiger, on the other hand, was careful, and subconsciously glanced at Sun Zhixin when he heard that he was at my place.But before he had time to think about it, he was distracted by the new name that Sun Zhixin kept talking about.

Staring at the wheat in Sun Zhixin's hand, Buku couldn't help but said, "Jimma, I still want to eat something—what was that called just now?"

"Popcorn."

"Yes, that's it."

Sun Zhixin shook his head and said, "I can't eat any more, I want to use it for other purposes."

Buku was a little disappointed, but nodded sensiblely, and said: "Well, then I won't eat it. Gemma, what do you want to use it for? I don't think there are many of them. They can make the delicious food you said of?"

"It's really not much now." Sun Zhixin grabbed another handful of wheat and put it in front of his eyes for a closer look. He really didn't want to believe that these wheat kernels, which were even covered with their shells, were all dead seeds.

"However, the real advantage of wheat is that it can be planted and harvested continuously. If they are live seeds as I imagined, then the bag of wheat in my hand will become so much more that I can't finish it." Sun Zhixin narrowed his eyes, smiled, and planned to try it out when he had time, soaking the hulled wheat in water to see if they could germinate.

Just like mung beans can be used to grow mung bean sprouts all year round, the germination conditions of wheat are not too picky, as long as there is water at a suitable temperature, the conditions are easy to meet.

As long as they can germinate and prove that they are not dead seeds, although Sun Zhixin can't say he is an expert in the next planting, he knows the basic things!This treasure brought by Ulan Hart will take root in the tribe and become the staple food of the tribe ever since!
