Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

early morning.

The morning sun penetrates the clouds and slowly falls on the forest. The fiery red maple leaves seem to be dyed all over the forest by the morning sun.

The clouds are dyed with clouds and are full of brilliance.

“The sun rises and the mists in the forest open” and “the maple leaves turn redder after frost” illuminate this ancient autumn with such colorful colors…

At this time, Sang Tian and others had packed their bags and were sitting in the square eating freshly roasted jerky.

After eating, we set off to follow this tribal expansion road.

As for those who were captured yesterday, they had already carried a bag of chestnuts and wild fruits in animal skins and went up the stone mountain to dig a cave.

The tribe only provides them with two meals of meat, and the vegetarian food doesn’t matter, it can be their breakfast.

As for the other two mountains and the forest on the other side of the river, the tribesmen had already set small traps like Sang Tian.

After all, the consumption of these people is too great, although the tribe has gained a lot in the past two days.

But Sang Tian couldn't guarantee that they would be back in a few days. Plans could never keep up with changes. If an emergency delayed their return, they had to be fully prepared, right?

Although these are forests not far from the tribe, the prey is small, but it is all meat. And the area is large, so the harvest will not be small.

Besides, safety is guaranteed.

Soon, everyone in the group was carrying weapons and backpacks, with water bottles hanging around their waists.

"Father, Sang, Yong, you must be very careful and cautious on the road. I will wait for you to come back!"

A tearful and reluctant exhortation.

"Okay, I get it, Duo. Don't cry. If everything goes well, we will be back in less than ten sunsets!" Sang Tian said comfortingly.

"Duo, I'll bring you some long-eared beasts when I come back. I heard the long-eared beasts on the plains are really big! They must be delicious!"

Yong said to Duo with a grin.

Sang Tian thought to herself: Oh, it's not you, Yong, you chase girls and always talk about grabbing meat for them to eat...

A sunny and cheerful big boy...

Before leaving, the witch performed a sacrifice in the center of the square.

He was muttering something and waving his scepter.

Everyone who was going on the trip knelt on one knee behind the witch.

"Please, Sirius God, grant our departing tribesmen protection and ensure their safe return..."

Sang Tian also explained modern scientific education. Logically, we should not believe in these things, as they are all superstitions.

But after he finished speaking, Sang Tian could actually feel a force entering her body...

How can this be explained?

Finally, after the ceremony, the witch distributed small hanging bags made of animal skins.

Sang Tian put it to his lips and smelled it, it was realgar powder!

It seems that those who can become witches in this world are indeed capable people!

Then another person gave out three palm-sized pieces.

Sang Tian took it in his hand and examined it confidently - my god, this thing has fine whiskers...

And it obviously has branches!

Could it be ginseng?

The slices are so big and thick, could they be thousands of years old?

This witch is really awesome!

This is truly a life-saving item, so I must keep it well. Sang Tian immediately put it into the pocket sewn into her animal skin skirt.

Little did she know that the surprise and joy in her eyes, as well as her small movements as if she had found a treasure, were all seen by Wu...

After confirming that Sang's expression and appearance must have indicated that he knew this magical medicine, a ripple of emotion also began to stir in his heart...

Finally found!

Finally, I found someone in the Tianlang tribe who is suitable to be the next generation of witch...

Sang Tian and the males who were leaving said goodbye to their tribesmen.

Stepping on the moss, we set off in the morning sun.

The Spear Tribe is in the southwest, so don't take the usual route to gather.

Instead, walk downstream along the river.

About forty minutes later, the group entered the reed marsh.

Sang Tian knew there was a reed marsh here, but had never been there.

After walking a few steps forward, suddenly there was a "fluttering" sound of startled birds among the reeds.

Sang Tian slowly pushed aside the reeds in front of her, revealing the situation inside...

——It’s a group of wild ducks!

Wild ducks are usually smaller in size, but since this was ancient times, they are still twice as big as modern domesticated ducks.

Wild ducks often feed on small fish, shrimps, insects, plant stems and leaves, algae and grains in rivers or lakes with lush aquatic plants.

In these ancient times, there was no water pollution, and the rivers were full of algae and swarmed with small fish and shrimp. This is probably why these ducks are so large.

The wild ducks flew away early and disappeared.

Only large patches of duck eggs were left, there were so many of them that the ground was covered in white, as if there had been a huge hailstorm.

“Ahhhh, I’m rich… So many duck eggs!

Hahaha, duck eggs can be used to make fried duck eggs with leeks and green peppers, fried duck eggs with fennel, fried duck eggs with shrimps, fried salted duck eggs with tofu...

The most delicious thing is that it can be used to make salted duck eggs!

Duck can be made into soy sauce roast duck, old duck soup, spicy duck legs, ginger fried duck..."

Everything starts off well!

Sang Tian discovered this delicacy just after walking for a while, hahaha, it’s so cool!

"Sang, you are not interested in these flat-mouthed beasts and their eggs, are you?

This flat-mouthed beast is difficult to catch. It flies away as soon as there is any movement. And its eggs are too fishy and unpalatable.

Otherwise, we would have eaten it all up long ago, so how could there be so much left? "

Feng asked in confusion.

"Silly boy, what are you doing with the arrows in your hand? Also, can't the trap hunting method I taught you be used?

You said the egg tasted bad because you didn't have any seasoning. If I make it, you better resist eating it!"

"No way, I'm going to taste whatever you cook to see if it's salty enough!"

Feng immediately retorted, fearing that Sang Zhen would not give him food!

Want him to stop eating Sang's cooking?

no way!

Sang Tian held his forehead, feeling that this was really off the mark.

Sure enough, they are ancient people... their IQ is not that high, but they are really good at eating!

However, Cang and Yong shot more than a dozen ducks in the duck shooting competition, and then other tribesmen also shot more than ten or twenty ducks.

No need to eat the dried meat in the backpack for lunch!

However, we can’t hunt ducks on a large scale this time, so we can only wait until we come back to do so!

Then you should also eat chestnuts, bamboo shoots, tofu chai, etc. after you come back.

Sang Tian was walking with her head down, thinking, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of leaves that looked very different from reeds. The stems looked a bit like corn stalks, and also like bamboo poles...

Sang Tian looked up and was petrified in his tracks...

This... this is sugarcane!

I mean, why do they look so similar?

Although Sang Tian doesn't know how to cook with it, he can use it to make sugar!

Sugar is an essential nutrient for the human body.

If the body lacks sugar, it will cause dizziness, fatigue, vertigo, endocrine disorders, such as menstrual disorders in women, poor physical strength, and irritability.

Even palpitations!

If it were other seasons, it would be fine because there would be fruits to eat.

But the snow season is not a good thing, as it is very long in this era.

According to Lan, they knew there was honey in the beehive, but they didn't dare to pick it.

The bees of this era are very poisonous and can easily cause death in humans.

These are the lessons their ancestors learned from their lives!

So everyone just walks away when they see it, let alone picking it!

Moreover, the boiled sucrose can also be used in cooking instead of white sugar.

Sang Tian marked the location, cut two pieces of wood, shortened them, and put them into the backpack.

She also had to keep an eye on the grass during this trip; she had to collect spices.

After all, just chili peppers, peppercorns and ginger are too simple.

Only those ancient people who had never eaten fine bran would find it extremely fragrant. Sang Tian always thought it was just average...

Including garlic, shallots, onions and other sultanas must also be collected.

After finding the spices, the first thing to do is to come back and cook the fish and shrimp in the river!

I've been craving you guys for a long time!

Speaking of this, Sang Tian suddenly remembered.

Salt production also needs to be put on the agenda.

It’s okay if you don’t think about it, but once you think about it, it’s work!

Sang Tian also wants to burn pottery pots!

Yong moved to the riverside where the big stone pot was, and Sang Tian went there once later.

When I stepped on it, I found it was soft and elastic!

I lowered my head and studied it. It turned out to be yellow mud! The clay beneath my feet was yellow-brown, fine-textured and breathable. It had good water retention and was highly malleable.

Easy to fire.

Just in the middle of autumn the tribe began to gather wood.

You can make charcoal and pottery pots by yourself and get twice the result with half the effort.

Oh yes, speaking of soil.

Sang Tian also wants to build a kang.

In Northeast China, kang is an indispensable warming facility in winter.

It can be as hot as you want, but it is a bit troublesome to heat it before going to bed.

You can also use soil and hay to build rectangular earth bricks to build a house.

Bamboo can be used to build bamboo houses, but they are not very comfortable in winter. However, they are good for avoiding the heat in summer.

Alas, it’s no use saying this now. We still have to wait until next year to build the house.

If there are not enough caves this time, we can burn some mud houses and build a few for them to live in.

Alas, the road to infrastructure construction is long!
