Han Cheng was very excited because he finally tasted a relatively delicious wild grass!
The leaves of this grass are relatively large, with white petioles and green leaves. There are some small thorns on the leaves. If you pull them off and chew them in your mouth, they have a unique taste of green grass.
But unlike other grasses which are either bitter, astringent, or difficult to chew, this kind of wild grass is not delicious when put in the mouth, but it is not bad either.
This discovery made Han Cheng very excited, especially when he saw the tender stems growing out of the weeds, with tiny buds and one or two half-penetrated yellow flowers, Han Cheng was extremely excited.
Because he thought of rapeseed in later generations!
This wild vegetable has many differences compared to the rapeseed of later generations, but also has many similarities.
This is also the reason why Han Cheng felt excited and nervous at the same time.
Because he really hoped that this guy would be the ancestor of rapeseed in later generations!
If it is really the original rapeseed, there are many things we can do next!
Han Cheng suppressed his excitement, looked around, and found that there were a lot of rapeseed-like weeds around, so he pulled a handful and took them back.
Han Cheng certainly would not rashly cook this unknown thing that has not yet grown from weeds to become a wild vegetable in broth and then let the people in the tribe eat it just because it tastes good, looks like rapeseed, and has signs of being eaten by insects and other unknown things.
If things like this happen more often, it is very likely that this primitive tribe, which has been passed down for who knows how many years, will be wiped out!
Han Cheng has his own way of distinguishing whether something is poisonous or not.
In one corner of the cave, there is a circle of stones, about one meter high.
There was a stone slab placed on top, covering most of the opening.
When Han Cheng came here and looked inside, a quiet gray shadow inside was frightened and jumped around randomly. It took a while for it to calm down, leaning against a stone, and looking at Han Cheng vigilantly.
Staring at each other.
This is a wild rabbit. Han Cheng specifically instructed his senior brothers to catch it and bring it back alive.
Han Cheng threw the wild grass in his hand, which was suspected to be the ancestor of rapeseed, into the simple rabbit pen through the cave entrance. This action frightened the easily frightened guy and made him jump around wildly.
He even wanted to jump out of the cage.
However, because a stone slab was added on top to cover less than one-fifth of the cave entrance, its escape attempt could only end with its head hitting the stone slab and then falling down.
After hitting its head several times, it finally gave up the impossible task of escaping the prison and stayed in the narrow stone circle, but did not eat the wild vegetables that Han Cheng threw to it.
It seems that this little guy has left quite a shadow. God knows what it went through on the way back when it was caught by the eldest brother and others.
Han Cheng moved a much smaller stone slab to the entrance of the cave, making it smaller and preventing the guy from escaping, and then left.
It will eat weeds.
Sure enough, the next morning when Han Cheng moved the small stone slab away and looked inside again, the weeds he had thrown in yesterday had been eaten up completely.
The rabbit is still alive and kicking, looking for an opportunity to escape from prison.
It seems that there is no problem in eating this thing.
Thinking this, he threw the wild grass in to feed it.
After being fed for seven days in a row, this guy is still alive and kicking.
It had become accustomed to this kind of life, and even when Han Cheng stuck his head to look inside, it was still continuing to mess around with a fellow creature that the eldest brother had caught and put inside, shamelessly and recklessly, as if no one was around.
It seems that there is really nothing wrong, this grass can be eaten!
After proving that this thing is edible, it has successfully evolved from a weed to a wild vegetable!
During these seven days, the flowers of these wild vegetables have completely bloomed. They are a brilliant yellow field, blooming in clusters here and there, making the woods and the grass in the woods exceptionally beautiful.
There are bees...
Um... let's just treat it as a bee, although this guy is so big that one can defeat two bees of later generations.
There are bees buzzing noisily, working tirelessly back and forth among the flowers, demonstrating with their actions the demeanor of a flower thief.
Butterfly……
The butterfly was also different from the common ones in later generations, but Han Cheng could still recognize it.
Butterflies of all sizes also joined in the fun, vying with the bees for the title of flower thief. They danced and flew back and forth among the flowers as if in a competition.
By now, Han Cheng has basically been able to confirm that this thing is the original rapeseed!
Han Cheng looked at the golden flowers, smelled the refreshing fragrance, and couldn't help but grin under the warm spring sun.
At this moment, no one could understand the joy in his heart!
I never expected that! I just wanted to find some wild vegetables to eat, but I didn't expect to find rapeseed first!
Luck, luck. Up to now, he has begun to believe that time travelers are the darlings of fortune.
Although others encountered all kinds of secret skills and rare treasures, while he only found rapeseed, and it was raw rapeseed at that, the gap was a bit big, but Han Cheng was still very happy.
After all, his requirements are not very high.
Han Cheng looked at the sparsely growing rapeseed and suddenly felt hesitant to touch it. After all, they had already bloomed and it wouldn't take long for them to bear fruit and mature and produce seeds.
If we collect these rapeseeds and plant them on a dedicated piece of land, wouldn't we be able to harvest more rapeseed?
He thought so beautifully, as if he was standing in an endless sea of rapeseed flowers, basking in the warm sun and smelling the fragrance...
Han Cheng's beautiful dream was soon shattered, because a creature with horns on its head and hair on its body appeared from somewhere and was happily eating the rapeseed that Han Cheng was reluctant to eat.
It moved very quickly and had sharp teeth. It ate the flowers and leaves together. In a moment, two fully bloomed rapeseeds were in its mouth.
The short tail wagging back and forth is enough to prove how happy it is.
Han Cheng's heart is bleeding!
Damn it, how easy is it for me? I am a time traveler after all, and I finally saw some rapeseed, but before I could even start eating it, it was snatched away by something else?
"You bastard! Shut up!"
Han Cheng was stunned for a moment, then became furious and shouted at the deer that was walking to another bush and preparing to attack again.
The deer was eating happily when it heard the noise. As expected, it stopped eating and turned to look at Han Cheng.
Han Cheng was furious. He pointed to the side and shouted with great force: "Get out!"
Unlike what Han Cheng imagined, this guy would flee in panic after hearing the shout. Instead, he snorted at Han Cheng, fully expressing his disdain, and then lowered his head to continue eating his favorite flower...
