Chapter 254: Cumin
"What are these things for?" Han Lingshuang touched the smooth inner wall of the pit.
"In the early days, when humans were handling grains and other foods, they cooked them whole and ate them, but later some people found that these grains were more delicious when they were powdered and could be stored for a long time." Wu Yicai tells the history of the evolution of early humans.
"You're saying that these holes in the ground are used by humans to crush grain?" After a period of primitive life, Han Lingshuang has learned a lot of knowledge.
"That's right, since there are these potholes, it means that there is a high probability that there are edible grains here." Wu Yicai's vicissitudes of life showed a knowing smile on his cheeks.
Based on this clue, it can be known that there must be grain here, and the humans who originally lived here may have cultivated grain.
"So there must be corn here?" Han Lingshuang's mind jumped quickly, and through the pothole, he instantly thought of corn.
"Ahem......" Wu Yicai almost choked and touched his nose, "I don't know if there is corn here, but I am sure that there are definitely edible grains here." ”
"Okay, let's look for corn together!" Han Lingshuang got up and looked around on tiptoe, her mind was now full of roasted corn......
"This girl, when she thinks of delicious food, she becomes hopeless......" Wu Yicai sighed helplessly.
I thought that there were terraces and the like in the surrounding area, but apart from weeds and bushes, trees and vines, there was not a single grain tree found here.
"That's weird, I think you should be able to find grain around here, but are those holes used to crush something else?" Wu Yicai felt that his head was big at the moment, and he couldn't find any useful clues at all.
Some collapsed stone houses began to appear around this area one after another, which means that this place has reached the forgotten civilization.
However, nothing useful was found, except for some heavily decayed bone tools, somewhat like axes or the like.
"Look at the wall over there, there seem to be some patterns!" Han Lingshuang found a sunken stone wall, where he could shelter from the rain.
There are indeed some magical patterns painted on the stone walls, which are drawn by the humans who live here.
Most of these patterns are red in color, and they have been painted on the stone for a long time......
These patterns seem to record the origin of human beings here, and the first picture is of a large ship with many humans on it.
Then there were the big trees, and it seems that these humans also knew how to draw supplies from bread trees, and the trunks of the trees had fresh water in them, and the fruit could be used to satisfy their hunger.
The people who got the water and things settled down here, and behind them were some fish patterns, like whales.
Behind it is a humanoid creature, but it is very strange that it has antennae, and behind it is the pattern of a wild goat.
"What the hell is this?"
Wu Yicai remembered the strange stone statue he saw yesterday, which was not a human at all.
Could it be that an unknown creature has appeared here, acting as the leader of this group of humans or the god of faith?
The documented history is not entirely correct, and it is possible that these patterns and stone statues were imagined by this group of humans.
It's like the sacred beasts of China, the angels of the West, and the like, these do not exist, but with the fantasy of human beings, they give life to the fantasy things.
Myths and legends!
"Perhaps, this creature with tentacles is the spiritual belief of this group of humans!" Wu Yicai firmly believes that there should be no such human-like strange creatures in the world now.
But this group of living human beings has been extinct for some reason, and the specific reason still needs to be explored step by step.
"But one thing is for sure, there are goats here!" Han Lingshuang touched the goat mural, it seemed that it had existed for a long time, and there was a crack in the stone.
"Let's go, look around, the mural doesn't show any grains, and the main sources of meat for this group are fish and goats." Wu Yicai still didn't give up, he felt that there must be other grains here.
Came to the stone statue again, and the layers of bones could still be seen in the deep pit over there, and the two and a dog were walking around.
Now it is directly out of the range of the stone house, and there are no traces of civilization in the vicinity, but some plants have been found, and it looks like these humans have planted them here before.
"If you look at the terrain over there, it's obviously square, like cultivated land." Wu Yicai pointed to a dense area of plants on one side, where the plants were very diverse, with weeds, shrubs and some strange-looking plants.
But what is certain is that there must be something practical in these plants, obviously some crops that were deliberately cultivated by humans here a long time ago, and then humans here were exterminated, and unmanaged crops were gradually replaced by weeds.
Even so, there are some crops that have survived to some extent, and you need to come forward and identify them.
This side is indeed cultivated land, and you can vaguely see the traces of terraces drawn by the predecessors, but there are no crops that you know here, but you can use the elimination method to exclude.
Eliminate the plants you know one by one, and the rest of the ones you don't know can be judged by the smell and rhizome.
Weeds, shrubs and other plants are eliminated, and finally some plants with small yellow flowers and branched growth in the shape of an umbrella are left, but there is a very fragrant smell.
"What is this?" Wu Yicai approached these plants and smelled them, feeling very familiar. "This smell is the smell of passing by a barbecue stand."
"It's cumin!" Han Lingshuang nodded very surely. "Can't be wrong, this is cumin!"
"That's right, it's the taste of cumin." Wu Yicai was also more sure that this was cumin, but these cumins had obviously just bloomed and had no results.
The cumin we are familiar with is the seeds used, after the seeds are crushed and baked, the excess water evaporates, and the taste is simply fragrant!
"How's that, I'm amazing, right?" Han Lingshuang crossed her hands on her hips and raised her head slightly, revealing her fair and slender neck.
This girl's neck is really beautiful enough, smooth and slender like a white jade carving, which makes Wu Yicai not calm again.
"Haha~ I found cumin, Han Lingshuang, you are awesome." was happy in his heart, and he was also tempted by his sister, Wu Yicai grabbed Han Lingshuang's slender waist, and then turned in a circle.
Although Han Lingshuang is 1.7 meters tall, she has a slender figure and weighs about 90 pounds, so she can easily get her off the ground.
"Hey~ Don't make trouble, you have broken the cumin!" Han Lingshuang's jade legs collided with those natures more than once, and the yellow flowers fluttered one after another, scattering from the branches.
