"no%#@"
At this moment, the eldest brother and the leader of the Green Tribe did not have the tacit understanding they had at the party, and each of them was extremely fussy.
The eldest brother shook his head repeatedly and expressed his meaning to the leader of the Green Tribe using gestures and language mixed with Mandarin.
At the same time, he picked out some food that he didn't like and placed it in a separate pile. Most of them were the grass-like things brought by the Green Tribe.
The people in our tribe are not birds, so what use do they have for these grass seeds?
"#¥2%!"
The leader of the Green Tribe had been paying attention to the actions of the eldest brother. When he saw that the eldest brother had picked out all the things that he had deliberately added in, which were inferior products and filled in the gaps, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
He quickly squatted down, held down the eldest brother's hand that was picking out with one hand, and grabbed a handful of grass ears that the eldest brother had picked out and put aside with the other hand. He shook his head and tried his best to praise the deliciousness of this thing to the eldest brother.
Seeing that the eldest brother was still looking at him with an inquiring gaze, the leader of the Green Tribe was also a ruthless character. He made up his mind, picked up a grass ear full of grass seeds, and put it directly into his mouth.
He endured the grinding and hardness of the grass seeds, and showed an expression of extreme enjoyment. He chewed for a long time, and then forced his neck to straighten and swallowed them. Then he patted his chest and did his best to praise the deliciousness of the grass seeds to his senior brother.
The eldest brother was made hesitant by the performance of the Green Tribe leader. Could it be that this grass-like thing that he had never seen before was really so delicious?
As he thought about this, he picked up one from the ground and put it to his mouth.
When the leader of the Green Tribe saw that the eldest brother also wanted to try the food, he quickly reached out to stop him, but the eldest brother had already taken a tentative bite.
"Pooh! Pooh!"
After taking a bite, the eldest brother kept vomiting and angrily threw away the extremely unpalatable grass ear that he had bitten off.
"#¥&*!"
After the eldest brother spat out the extremely uncomfortable and terrible tasting grass seeds in his mouth, he shouted angrily at the green tribe leader who looked a little embarrassed.
Then he stood up and brought over a clay pot for water and placed it next to the pile of food from the Green Tribe that he had picked out, meaning that the food brought by the Green Tribe could only be exchanged for this clay pot.
The leader of the Green Tribe had long coveted the large cooking jars used by the Green Bird Tribe. When he saw that the eldest brother was only willing to use a clay pot in exchange for the food they had worked so hard to get, he naturally disagreed.
He was talking in a mumbled voice and gesticulating with his hands and feet.
The eldest brother was not to be outdone, also singing and dancing.
It was a good deal, but the two of them turned it into a dance battle.
Han Cheng stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the two people who were dancing awkwardly without saying a word, and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Fu Jiang came running over, holding the ear of grass that the eldest brother had just thrown to him. He ran to Han Cheng and wagged his tail to ask for a reward.
This guy was taught by Han Cheng to be an expert at picking things up with his mouth.
Han Cheng, who was watching the primitive dance from afar, reached out and took the grass ear from Fu Jiang's mouth without much care, and played with the stem in his hand.
After playing with it for a while, the movement of his hands suddenly stopped.
He stared blankly at the ear of grass in his hand, which was missing a quarter of its size, and a light gradually appeared in his dull eyes.
After a brief moment of stagnation, his movements quickly became faster. With his hands trembling slightly, he held the ear of grass and looked at it over and over again.
The grass ear is about five or six centimeters long and a little over one centimeter in diameter. Its color is the withered yellow that the plant becomes when it dries up. On top of this grass ear, there are densely packed grass seeds of the same color.
This looks very familiar, like dried foxtail grass, but it is thicker and longer than ordinary foxtail grass, and has more grass seeds on it.
It is also like the millets in later generations standing in the fields with their heads bowed, but compared with those humble crops bearing heavy fruits, it is far inferior.
Han Cheng suppressed the unbearable joy in his heart, forced himself to calm down, and picked some grass seeds from the grass ears that looked like foxtail grass and millet.
Then pinch it with your fingernails and carefully peel off the shell.
As a result, three of them were empty and deflated before Han Cheng could peel them open.
The fourth one finally bore fruit, a small, pale yellow ball appeared in the hand.
Although it was only a tiny bit and the yellow was not pure, Han Cheng felt that it was more dazzling than gold!
He held the tiny, stripped grass seed in the palm of his hand, raised it to eye level, and examined it carefully as if it were a priceless treasure. He felt that no scenery was as beautiful as the tiny grass seed in his palm.
A red shadow quickly enlarged before his eyes. His palm felt warm and the red shadow disappeared. Along with it disappeared the small yellow grass seed that Han Cheng regarded as the most magnificent scenery.
Fu Jiang smacked his lips, feeling that there was no taste at all. He shook his head in boredom, not knowing what this silly master was looking at.
Han Cheng ignored Fu Jiang who was like a silly dog, and instead looked at the missing piece of grass in his hand, smiling silently.
Millet! This is millet!
The scientific name of millet is foxtail millet or sorghum, an annual herb. It is a close relative of foxtail grass, or it can be said that it evolved from foxtail grass. It is the main crop in the Yellow River Basin.
Especially in the early days of the Chinese nation, millet made great contributions. The Xia and Shang civilizations can be called millet civilizations. It was definitely the staple food!
His original plan was to wait until the Qingque tribe became safer and more prosperous, and he grew taller and improved the Qingque tribe's weapons. Then he would start to take the young and strong men in the tribe and leave the tribe to expand the search range to look for some things. Among them, millet and other foods that could be used as staple food were the most important.
Although rapeseed is good, it cannot be used as a staple food. The oil extracted from rapeseed is not as fragrant as animal fat. If the Qingque tribe wants to live a stable life and have no worries about food and clothing, it is necessary to grow staple food.
Life is always full of surprises. He didn't expect that before he could put into action the plan that he had been thinking about for a long time, Gu Zi appeared in front of him in such an unexpected way!
The dance battle between the eldest brother and the leader of the green tribe was still going on. It seemed that the eldest brother was at a disadvantage, so he picked up another pottery jar and placed it in front of the pile of food.
The leader of the Green Tribe was determined to exchange for the large cooking vat. After some awkward dancing, he made some concessions and said that the rest of the pottery could be discarded and only the large vat should be given to him.
The larger the pottery, the more difficult it is to make.
Although the eldest brother did not participate much in pottery making, he knew this common sense through what he saw and heard. In addition, he was angry about the Green Tribe leader's attempt to exchange grass seeds for food, so he naturally refused to exchange with him.
