Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

All things are awakening, and the morning mist is everywhere... Light shines through the thin mist, spreading to all living things, like a scroll of blue water slowly unfolding...

While it was still early, Sang Tian fed the two tiger cubs some chopped taro and steamed meat.

One man and two tigers sat at the entrance of a cave and ate.

When Guo was about to go downstairs to hunt, Sang Tian handed Ping An and Xi Le to him.

Tell him to keep an eye on the two tiger cubs.

The two cubs seemed to know what they were going to do. Compared to yesterday, when they kept looking back every few steps, today they strode down towards the square with long strides.

After Sang Tian fed the last piece of taro into her mouth, she packed up briefly and headed to the square to prepare to set off.

Today's destination is the hillside on the far right side of the tribe. Sang Tian has never been to this direction before, so he is still a little looking forward to it.

……

After walking for just half an hour, Sang Tian found a hawthorn tree.

Clusters of hawthorns are as red as flames and as bright as clouds, hanging on the branches like rubies.

Sang Tian picked one and tasted it. It was sweet and sour, and it was thirst-quenching!

It has a 50/50 balance of sweet and sour, and can be used to make candied haws. I think the kids in the tribe will like it.

I also have to dry some of it myself and use it to make tea and kill time during the snow season.

Hawthorn is rich in vitamin C, carbohydrates, carotene, etc.

Hawthorn can be used to treat symptoms such as food stagnation, stomach bloating and abdominal pain, and to strengthen the stomach and digest food. Hawthorn can also be used to treat symptoms such as blood stasis, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, and postpartum stasis.

……

Sang Tian took the lead in picking hawthorns.

But the other females were puzzled.

"Sang! These fruits are too sour! They are not tasty. Why don't we not pick them?"

Sang Tian's gentle eyes shone with warmth. "It's okay. It's a bit sour if eaten as is. But I can process it when I get home and make some candied haws... oh no, sugarcane haws! The kids love it!"

"Okay Sang, we'll pick it for you then."

Dozens of people picked, shook and collected the fruits, and they plucked all the fruits from a tree in half an hour.

Then he set off again.

……

Everyone arrived at the destination on the east side of the mountainside and started collecting.

Sang Tian looked around and didn't seem to find any food, but the ground was covered with plantain.

However, Sang Tian had seen it when she went to find Cang, drying in the bamboo sieve in front of Wu's door.

It is mainly used to clear the lungs and resolve phlegm, improve eyesight and promote urination, etc. It seems that witches also use this herb to treat diseases.

Sang Tian looked around to see what was there.

……

After walking for ten minutes, Sang Tian saw a patch of green grass of about the same length. Some leaves were broad and emerald green, while some were small and slender, with a yellow-green color.

There's a whole area of it.

Sang Tian looked carefully and found that these two kinds of leaves looked very familiar to her!

It's a radish!

Those shredded ones are probably carrots.

Sang Tian never hesitated and immediately squatted down and pulled one out with force.

In an instant, the snow-white radish was exposed, with a lot of dirt still hanging on it, making the radish look even whiter and more transparent. Some radish whiskers hung from the tip.

The radishes in the vegetable market are usually only ten pounds and there is nowhere to buy them.

But Sang Tian felt that one of them weighed a full twenty pounds. It was as long as her calf and as thick as her thigh.

Sang Tian pulled out another one. Unlike the previous one, this one was green.

Sang Tian chopped it open with a machete, revealing the plum-red radish heart beneath a thin layer of green... It was as delicate and tempting as warm jade.

Red radish! This is the best!

There was no need to think, the shredded leaves were definitely carrots. Although Sang Tian didn't like eating this thing very much, it could only be used as a side dish.

But it has high nutritional value!

Carrots are rich in carotene and vitamin A, which can protect eyesight. Plant cellulose can promote intestinal peristalsis, and vitamin C can reduce fat and promote bowel movements.

In short, its existence is of great edible and medicinal value.

Such a large piece must weigh over a thousand kilograms!

……

Sang Tian walked through the cool, shredded wormwood and said with a piercing gaze, "Come here, everyone! I found a new kind of food!"

"Found new food again? Sang Ke is amazing!"

"Since coming to the Tianlang Tribe, Sang has found countless amounts of food!"

"As expected, there is no harm without comparison! Sang is the lucky star, and we are the muddy water!"

……

Everyone followed Sang Tian's pace for ten minutes.

Looking at the radish dug out from the ground, he asked curiously, "Sang, this is it! It looks good! Is it delicious?"

“Try it!”

Lan took the lead in picking up the white radish and biting into it. With a crisp "crunch" sound, the crisp sound rang out in Lan's mouth.

Lan's eyes lit up as she said happily, "Oh, not bad! Very juicy, big ones too! Slightly sweet!"

Others followed suit.

“Refreshing, crisp and sweet! Definitely delicious!”

Rave reviews!

……

Everyone began to work together to pull up the radishes.

It took dozens of people nearly three hours to load all the radishes into baskets!

All the backpacks were full, and more than half of them were left and could not be carried.

Lan said that the remaining items that were not carried back would be carried back by the tribe's spear hunting team who had rested for two days.

The group returned to the tribe carrying baskets on their backs!

……

After arriving at the square shed,

Sang Tian was sweating profusely, his lips were cracked, his face was red, his mouth and tongue were dry, and his hands were heaving in front of his chest.

He put down the backpack and slept directly on the bamboo board.

Sang Tian: When I’m tired, I just give up…

A cool touch spread from Sang Tian's back to his body...

"Ah! So comfortable..."

He didn't get up until his body temperature returned to normal before he slowly gulped down a big gulp of water.

Sit and rest for a while before getting up.

Pour out all the hawthorns in the basket.

Sang Tian had specially reserved some fresh hawthorns for the pregnant women in the tribe, but pregnant women were not allowed to eat too much hawthorn! Sang Tian only left a little.

Half of it is used to make candied haws.

For the rest, Sang Tian planned to slice them and dry them.

……

There are three backpacks in total, weighing 210 kilograms.

All hawthorn berries were cleaned and placed in the sun to dry.

Sang Tian divided them into two halves and poured them together. He then cut them into slices one by one and brought them to the bamboo board at the entrance of his cave to dry in the sun.

……

Then come back and continue making candied haws!

Prepare an appropriate amount of sucrose and water, the ratio is 1:1.

The females were curious about what kind of delicacy Sang would make from the sour hawthorn, and they all came to watch.

Lend a hand from time to time.

Ru helped Sang Tian light the fire.

……

In a heated pot, combine sugar and water and simmer over low heat. Be sure not to overcook the heat, or the sugar color will burn.

However, Sang Tian used cane sugar, which is already light reddish-brown, so he wasn't worried. But he couldn't make the color darker!

When it becomes sticky and starts to change color when scooped with chopsticks, and the sugar liquid quickly hardens when placed in cold water.

The sugar is ready.

……

Yu and several females helped Sang Tian cut bamboo sticks. Although they didn't know why, since Sang said so, it must be useful.

Yun took the lead in helping Sang Tian string the hawthorns, but he couldn't help eating them while stringing them.

Sang Tian quickly dipped the hawthorn skewers into the boiled sugar solution, coating the fruit evenly with a layer of sugar.

Place the sugar-dipped hawthorn skewers on an oiled bamboo board and let them cool naturally.

Gradually, the candied haws will become crystal clear, crisp, refreshing, sweet and sour.

There were a lot of hawthorn bunches, and the females each took a few and coated them with sugar, following Sang Tian's example. It took only a short while to complete the process.

There is still a lot of sugar juice.

Sang Tian immediately ran back to the tribe and took some blueberries and grapes to string together to make candied haws.

……

The cooling time is very fast.

After a while, the hawthorn flour solidified into a layer of crystals.

But it uses cane sugar, so the crystals are not bright and translucent, but a light muddy red mixed with a little earthy yellow...

Sang Tian took the first bite.

The sweet icing burst in Sang Tian's mouth, followed by the sweet and sour taste of hawthorn. The combination of the two was refreshing and pleasantly crisp!

Good job! It was a great success.

Yun tasted it first, her eyes sparkling.

Others also put it in their mouths and tasted it.

But compared to candied haws, she seems to prefer eating raw hawthorns...

"Ah! This is so crispy on the outside, it feels so good to bite into it!"

"It's sour and sweet, so delicious! My kid will definitely love it!"

“This is a new way to eat it, but it’s quite interesting and tastes good too!”

……

Sang Tian grabbed a few handfuls and distributed them to the little ones who were drooling and fidgeting as they watched.

After receiving it, he did not forget to thank Sang Tian.

So well-behaved and cute!

After tasting them one by one, the feeling when looking at Sang Tian was different. It felt like the admiration that children have when looking at the protagonist in modern cartoons.

Not satisfied with the whole string, Sang Tian shared two more with everyone.

Running around like crazy and having fun.
