Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

The morning mist is about to clear, and the sun is shining brightly. In the early morning, the sky turns pale white. The morning sun is red, and its colorful light shines across the world, illuminating the grass.

Sang Tian's multifunctional solar watch alarm also began to ring. No doubt she turned it off and went back to sleep, because it was only half past six!

It wasn't until the last alarm rang at 7:30 that Sang Tian slowly got up. She used the small comb in her jacket pocket to tie her hair into a high ponytail, then went down the hill to the river to wash up.

After spraying sunscreen, I sat by the river and waited.

She had already eaten Snickers and compressed biscuits before leaving. She held the bottle of mineral water in her hand. She would eventually take out the daggers, and how would she explain it then?

It would be better to take it out now and let them know that you have something rare.

Just as Qianqian sent a "Dai Lan" message, the others came over. Sang Tian greeted them and followed them.

The average height of the females in this tribe is 175cm, their skin is wheat-colored, and they look very healthy.

There are appropriate muscles on the body, which makes the lines look very beautiful.

Most of them have deep eyebrows and eyes.

The most important thing is that they all have full breasts, wrapped in animal skins. The graceful body curves and deep ravines are all pleasing to Sang Tian.

It’s really a paradise for those who love beauty!

The only flaw is the dry and frizzy hair, which sits on the head like a chicken coop.

On the way, a female girl took the initiative to greet Sang Tian.

"Hello, new female. My name is Duo, I'm 17 years old. I live on the same floor as you. My father is the leader of the second hunting team, his name is Shan."

"Hello, Duo, just call me Sang. Nice to meet you."

"I envy your hair and want to know how you tie it. Can we learn it?" She pointed at Sang Tian's high ponytail.

It turns out you were curious about the high ponytails. You can indeed see that the hair of both females and males in the tribe is left hanging down. It is frizzy due to malnutrition, and looks like a bird's nest because there is no comb to take care of it.

"Of course, but I'm still collecting them. When I'm done, come find me and I'll teach you."

After thanking her, Duo jumped up and down beside her, chattering.

After quickly reaching the collection site, Lan announced that they should separate and not go too far. Sang Tian and Duo headed to the east side of the forest together.

Sang Tian looked at the ground and found wild garlic.

It is a great delicacy in rural areas. It is delicious and fragrant, and is most suitable as a side dish or for making soup.

Wild garlic has nothing to do with garlic. Its root is a lump, which is different from garlic.

When eating wild garlic, you only eat its leaves, which look a bit like leeks, but the leaves are thinner than leeks.

The thing had grown to the crook of Sang Tian's legs, and Sang Tian pulled it all down.

When Duo discovered this, she asked in confusion, "Sang, why are you picking weeds?"

"Duo, this is called wild garlic. It's a delicious wild vegetable."

"Is this edible? Sang, if it really is edible, you will have done a great deed." Without waiting for Sang Tian's response, Duo had already called Lan and the others.

Lando: "Is this thing called wild garlic really edible?"

"Yes, Lan, it's called wild garlic. It can be used in stir-fries and soups. It tastes delicious."

Yu and Yun asked, "Sang, what are cooking and making soup?"

No way, they only know how to barbecue?

After learning more about it, I realized that this is indeed the only cooking method. What they collected were just ordinary tasteless weeds, which they usually ate with barbecue skewers to satisfy their hunger.

“Stir-frying and making soup are other ways to prepare food that I can teach you.

Also, are you guys having a very difficult time?"

"Sang, how did you know? It's so difficult for us to relieve ourselves. We only get to relieve ourselves once every few sunsets, and it's very difficult. We often end up with blood on our buttocks after we do it.

We females are fine, but the males are more serious."

Oh my elder sister, it’s because of what you did.

"That's because what you eat is too dry. Roasted meat is difficult to digest and lacks moisture. Plus, you don't eat vegetables. Eating vegetables can help digestion and facilitate bowel movements.

The reason why males are more vulnerable than females is because you eat barbecued meat with the grass you picked, while they only eat barbecued meat.

Seeing Lan and the others seeming to understand but not quite, Sang Tian could only simply say, "Just eat more wild vegetables and the condition will improve."

Lan and the others suddenly realized what was going on and said yes with a smile. A dozen people quickly picked the remaining wild garlic.

Lan also said that she would report the discovery of new food to Chief Sang when she returned. As long as it was true, Sang would be rewarded by the tribe.

The other females nearby were also chattering about how great it was.

Sang Tian felt so happy. He knew a lot of plants. Wouldn’t it be easy for him to get along here like a fish in water? Hahaha.

To show her modesty, Sang Tian just smiled slightly and continued working.

Suddenly, Sang Tian felt a sharp pain in her fingers. She looked carefully and saw that it was a thorny lump. She was about to jump away when she suddenly found a golden brown shell inside its opening...

Duo next to him also saw it but didn't react at all, probably because she didn't recognize him.

God is kidding me, this is a chestnut.

It's filling, has sugar, and even more starch! It's a happy gift from God.

Really, I've never felt so lucky. Looking at the black mass of fallen leaves on the ground not far away, Sang Tian felt that the tribe would be much better off this winter.

"Lan, I found food again. It's this," Sang Tian said with a happy smile as he picked up the chestnut with prickly skin.

Yu smiled and said, "Sang, this is a thorny ball. It has thorns all over and cannot be eaten." The females next to her echoed.

"This is really edible." After Sang Tian peeled off the thorny skin to reveal the shell, he scratched a hole on a sharp stone.

He peeled the fruit to reveal the pale yellow flesh and put it into Lan's mouth, who was chewing it.

Sang Tian said, "It's called a chestnut. You need to peel it twice to reveal the flesh. It's very filling. It's a very good food."

The female beside him followed Sang Tian's example, peeling the shell and putting it into his mouth.

"Ah, it's sweet." "Yes, it's very sweet." "This stuff is generous, and not all watery like fruit. I'm afraid it's really filling." "There's so much on the ground, our tribe won't have to worry about food."

Sang Tian then said that these chestnuts can be stored for a long time...

There was a complete silence. Lan was the first to react: "It seems that this snow season, our tribe will have a few more people alive..."

It is obviously a joyful thing, but it makes people feel sad.

Yes, the tribe hasn't been short of food lately because autumn has arrived and many fruits are ripe. Animals are starting to store food and are appearing more frequently, so all the hunting teams have had a good harvest.

But when it comes to the snowy season, besides the low temperature that can freeze people to death, there is also the lack of food that can cause companions to starve to death.

Sang Tian felt very uncomfortable listening to this. In the ancient times with low productivity, the snowy season was simply a nightmare.

Countless infants and children died because they could not get treatment for high fever, countless tribesmen died because they did not have enough firewood and animal skins to keep warm, and countless tribesmen starved to death because of the long winter and lack of food.

The people in the tribe have an endless fear of the snow season since they were born, which comes from an innate nature.

Looking back many years later, Sang Tian realized that the seed of his determination to cultivate humanities on this land sprouted at that moment.

Of course, this is all for later.

There was a black mass of fallen chestnuts on the ground in front of me. Looking up, I saw many chestnut trees in the forest, and the unripe chestnuts formed arcs on the branches.

Sang Tian also felt very comfortable, as these were all foods that could fill her stomach.

However, there were no suitable tools, so Sang Tian could only let Lan and the others remove the burrs first, while she took Duo to the front to pick vines.

"Sang, what are you doing picking green ivy?"

"Duo, I want to use it to make something called a basket, which I can use to collect chestnuts. If I only use my hands, how long will it take to get rid of such a large field of chestnuts?"

"Really? When we gather fruit, we often have to make multiple trips because we don't have hands to hold it. Sometimes, if it rains, the fruit will rot the next time we go. Not only does it waste time, but it also wastes a lot of food. This thing you mentioned sounds very useful."

Sang Tian pulled out the dagger tucked into her hiking boots. She was not afraid of others seeing it, because she would carry it with her whenever she went out in the future. Hiding it would only arouse suspicion.

Maybe one day, when I truly integrate into the tribe and truly trust others and am trusted by others, I will give them the dagger again. After all, it can be used infinitely.

After cutting the vines in a few strokes, align them neatly and start by weaving them horizontally, alternating them one in front and one behind. This is the bottom of the basket.

When Sang Tian felt the bottom was about the same size, he began to fold the rattan upwards with the back of a knife. After the rattan was lifted up, he began to weave the basket around the sides, still using the horizontal alternating weaving method.

In fact, the method of weaving a basket is quite simple, and it is very fast once you get the hang of it. This is mainly because it does not need to be too detailed at the moment, and time is the main thing. As long as it does not fall apart, it is fine.

Soon, a simple rattan basket about 50cm wide and 70cm long was woven. Because of the time constraints, no straps were added.

Duo was very surprised. Green vines were everywhere, so why hadn't they thought of this method?

It doesn't look difficult and is very useful. It can save a lot of effort.

Duo ran over to take the basket to Lan and the others, then called Yu, Yun, her Ameen and six or seven other females to learn how to weave baskets together. After all, only one basket would not be enough to hold so many chestnuts.

Sang Tian was a little surprised. They were slow to get started at first, but gradually they found the trick. Perhaps because they were very serious, their weaving was more detailed and looked much better than Sang Tian's.

Why was I so relieved? There were still quite a few females coming to weave the baskets. After all, removing the thorns was easy and didn't require that many people. But weaving the baskets took time.

Three hours later, all the chestnuts that had fallen to the ground were basketed. There were 32 baskets in total. Each basket weighed about 30 kilograms, so the total was 960 kilograms.

This is really not a small amount.

After all, the ones that fall to the ground are only a small part. The unripe ones on the trees are the majority.

It was early autumn, so not many fruits were ripe. Sang Tian decided to wait until most of them had fallen and finished them off all at once. Lan agreed.

Then, as the sun was almost at its zenith, each of them carried a basket back, and the remaining baskets were carried back to the tribe by the boys in pairs.
