"Ahh

"Give me some water! Is this thing eaten by someone else?" Yang Meng took the mineral water handed over by Xiao Peng and took a big gulp of rinse.

Xiao Peng looked at the baobab in his hand, a layer of hard shell on the outside, at first glance he thought it was a small coconut, and on the inside was a golden lumpy pulp. Xiao Peng picked up a small piece with his fingers and tasted it, uh, like eating spoiled bread flour, sour and dry. There are granular seeds in it, and the taste is as bad as it gets.

Rafa shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the expressions of the two: "It's true that this baobab is the 'Tree of Life', but we really won't eat it if we're not hungry." After all, the taste is just too bad. ”

Xiao Peng smiled after hearing this: "Be content, you can still find baobab trees when you are hungry, we couldn't find such food when we were hungry a few decades ago, and some people even ate 'bark', 'grass roots' and 'Guanyin soil' to satisfy hunger." ”

Nowadays, many children living happily may not believe how people can be hungry to the point of eating 'tree bark', 'grass roots' and 'Guanyin soil', but these things do exist.

Of course, many people have the impression that this bark and grass roots are eaten in a variety of ways? Can people chew them? In fact, this is a misunderstanding, that the bark and grass roots are not something that can be eaten after boiling in water, nor can they be eaten casually, but can only be eaten after a series of processing. Do you really think that people in the past were stupid? Oh, people don't know if they can eat things that animals don't eat?

After all, there is cellulose in the bark of grass roots, but the human body cannot absorb and digest lignocellulose. Therefore, it is not easy to eat bark and grass roots.

This bark and grass root is not something that everyone thinks of after being hungry for several days, but in the famine years, the bark of the elm tree is dried and rolled with a stone mill. After rolling out the powder from the bark, it is then passed through the dill, and the long fibers in the phloem that cannot be crushed are thrown away. The leftover bark can be used to make rice soup and batter. In fact, this way of eating is not only in China, but also in Europe until a few decades ago.

But this also requires the bark to do, sometimes in the real year of the great wilderness, it is called a thousand miles of red land, and no bark and grass roots can be found, 'easy to eat the child, and cook the bones' (in the ancient books, it is 'the bones and plan' cuan) things have happened, what should I do at that time?

Nowadays, when people joke, they often say, "The poor can only eat dirt" now.

In fact, the people who suffered in the past were forced to be anxious in the year of the catastrophe, and they were really eating the soil!

And what they eat is 'Guanyin soil', which is commonly known as 'white mud' kaolin!

There is no nutrition in this Guanyin soil, and it is difficult to digest, and ordinary people will feel hungry and thirsty after eating, and even die from drinking a lot of water!

Even if they don't die, they will die because of lack of nutrition, and the death will be extremely ugly, and the whole body will be swollen.

But there is no way to do it, and now people are well educated and know that this Guanyin soil is not only devoid of nutritional value, but also may die if eaten. But what about the hungry people, they don't know what nutrients are in the food to keep them alive, they just look at this thing like flour, and after eating it, their stomachs will be full, and they won't be hungry for a long time. I'm afraid that countless hungry people will think before they die----- if they didn't have that bit of Guanyin soil, they would have starved to death a long time ago.

Xiao Peng once saw on the Internet that someone was selling Guanyin soil, and the price was not cheap! And some people were really curious to buy it and eat it, saying that the taste was delicate, but it had no taste, and it tasted much better if it was made into a mud ball with a little salt.

But this thing is easy to eat, but it can't be discharged at all! This Nima is called self-inflicted.

Africans, by comparison, are much happier.

Many people have the impression that Africa is very arid, so agriculture is underdeveloped, which leads to frequent famines in Africa.

But in fact, this is not the case, if you use one word to describe Africa, Xiao Peng can only think of the word 'rich' in his mind.

With the exception of the Sahara Desert, Africa is not a dry place at all. In particular, sub-Saharan stretches a straight line from Senegal to Somalia, and it is definitely not an arid place! It is even better than the climate of China! It is also the essence of Africa, where most of Africa's population is concentrated.

It's like when we watch the news, people can't be happy if they say that Africans have a heat stroke in China, come on, the climate in sub-Saharan Africa is really much better than in China!

Because these places are tropical, there are no distinct four seasons, and for Africans, there are only two seasons a year: the rainy season and the dry season.

And here, as long as the climate is stable, it is almost impossible to have any kind of famine!

Many people have the impression that the dry season in Africa is the kind of dry season in the BBC documentary that cracks the land. In fact, except for the land in the Sahara and South Africa, there are really not many such cases, their rainy season is similar to the plum rain in Yangzhou, once or twice a day, and the dry season is also like our autumn, with little rain and mild climate, so it is not surprising that African brothers come to China to suffer from heat stroke! The climate and environment in which they live is really much better than that of China!

The most important thing is that not only is the climate good here, but the land is fertile! It can be planted from beginning to end of the year! The land here is very easy to harvest grain and crops, how can the African locals grow crops? Women take a sharp-spiked hoe, 'dig a pit, bury some soil, count one, two, three, four, five' and wait for the harvest. You don't even need to plough the ground because the ground here is soft!

Throw the seeds into the ground, and then you don't have to worry about anything, and the surrounding woods are full of food, berries and fruits, etc., so there is no shortage of food at all!

That's why the AIDS epidemic in Africa is so bad。。。。。。

But such a paradise on earth, when people mention it, what comes to mind is: poverty, war, hunger, so many people starve to death every year, why is this?

It's easy to say, because there is so much food here, so Africans don't have a sense of worry.

Africa's black corn don't store food on a large scale!

In fact, the black corn is also very strange, why do those yellow-skinned and white-skinned people always like to store food? Aren't the woods eaten everywhere? Why do they still eat those things that are not fresh?

We have winters in China and even Europe and America, so we need to prepare food for several months to survive the season without food (winter and spring). So our ancestors were forever fighting over how to hoard food.

But the ancestors of Africans didn't need it! they could look for nuts in the dry season, and they had a lot of food in the rainy season, so they didn't need to stock up on food at all. This habit has been maintained to this day.

But this difference caused by nature has caused tragedy in Africa in modern times. The root of the tragedy is the population explosion!

When the population is small, even if it is eaten during the rainy season, when the population is small, you can wander around and go to other places to find something to eat. However, as soon as the population grew, the land was divided into different countries. If the rainy season is delayed and the dry season is extended, it can lead to famine.

Even if the crops in Africa are very profitable, the people here do not have the habit of storing food, and when there is a famine, it will really starve to death!

In sub-Saharan Africa, a month of delay in the rainy season would lead to famine, and if it were delayed for a month and a half, 100,000 people would starve to death every day! But even so, they have little habit of storing food。。。。。。

Many people think that Africans don't like planting, but in fact, this is another misunderstanding, Africans are very, very fond of planting. Almost all the crops that can be found in the world today can be found in Africa. High-yielding crops such as potatoes are also available.

Throw a seed and you can have such a good harvest? Why don't people here plant it?

When you arrive in Africa, a certain 'wild land' on the side of the road may be the farmland of the locals, or a barren mountain overgrown with weeds and pheasants may be the food field that people rely on for their survival.

So when you go to Africa, even those so-called 'African powers', once you come into contact with the bottom of society, you will feel that they are 'having nothing to do and having something to do', and they have nothing to do all day long. How can Africa's economy do well in such an environment?

And because there is no sense of crisis, they also have no habit of saving at all, and the most hard-working people in their eyes are the kind of lazy people who waste air in the eyes of our Chinese people.

Many Chinese people want to go to Africa to start a business, but they are dumbfounded when they arrive, this is not right!

How dare you make the people here work six days a week? That's really killing them! If you dare to settle wages once a month? It would be a miracle to be able to do that!

People here must settle their wages on the same day, those who work one day off and one day off are diligent, and those who play three days a day are normal! Now so many Chinese enterprises have invested in Africa, bringing a lot of job opportunities to the locals, but only a few people can accept this way of working!

And although this Malagasy is said to be a yellow race, but after living here in Africa for so long, the yellow people's diligence has almost forgotten, and the likes and dislikes of the black corn have learned a clean one!

Baobabs are so unpalatable, keep them for the monkeys, after all, what is Madagascar most famous for?

People from all over the world come here all the way to see lemurs, and there are 102 species of lemurs in five genera.

This lemur has brought us tourists, so we have to give them feedback and give them the baobab fruit to eat!

So what do we eat when we're hungry?

Lemur, come, it's my turn to eat you!
