Many people think that the ancients ate chili peppers because of the dampness and heat, but they don't know that in the eyes of modern people, the warm south is a cold and bitter cold place in the eyes of savages, and the apes in Chu eat chili peppers because of the cold.

It's just that, many people are saying that chili peppers are foreign.

For example, Rogge, after adding a little jalapeño powder to the coffee and handing it to the high priest during an afternoon tea, once said: "I heard that spicy food originated from Mexico, and the Chinese chili pepper was introduced to Mexico four hundred years ago." ”

The high priest declined the coffee, asked Zhang Jingtao to make tea, and replied: "This is really the 'theory of the alienation of all things', and regardless of the recognized four major inventions are all from the Chinese, in fact, from the four major inventions, it can be seen that the 'source of all things', just like this chili, in fact, as long as you look at the popularity of spicy food, you know that it must have originated in South China." ”

Rogge put the spicy powder bottle on the table, thought for a moment and said, "Will it?" ”

The high priest picked up the bottle of spicy powder, looked at it like a work of art, and said, "Rogge, haven't you been to both places?" Presumably, it is impossible for you not to see that the traits of the peppers in the two places are completely different, so if there are no peppers in South China, today's peppers can only be migratory and derived, rather than cross-regional breeding and evolution, so do you think that in just 400 years, these peppers will undergo such a big change? It's like if you could live to be 400 years old, and if you were thrown north for 400 years, what do you think would happen to you? ”

Living for 400 years, of course, is more suitable for derivation.

Rogge rolled his eyes: "I'm afraid I won't even change a single hair." ”

The high priest smiled: "Yes, a lot of vanity in this world is obvious, but people are used to not thinking about themselves, think about it again, do Mexicans really have the most spicy taste?" ”

Rogge thought about it seriously.

After a few seconds, the fat man shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'm afraid not, people who say that Mexicans are not spicy and don't like it, they don't seem to know Mexico, Mexicans are just used to using a few kinds of hot sauces, they have a lot of dishes that are not spicy, and even, Mexicans eat sweets at most, not spicy, so their obesity problem is very serious, I stayed in Mexico for a while, and I ate fat there." ”

The high priest said, "What about the dishes in some parts of southern China?" ”

Rogge seemed to sweat just thinking about it, and replied, "It seems that in some places, every dish is red, but why do the peppers in South China look thin or small?" It's as if they migrated somewhere else, malnourished. ”

The high priest said: "No, no, no, Rogge, only the species of origin can be relatively delicate and natural, that is a kind of self-confidence that is enough to reproduce, and after it is spread to other places, the locals are afraid that they will not be able to adapt to the climate of the place, and they tend to overcultivate, so that the plants become unusually thick, but the taste will lose the pure taste of the origin of the place, often with a little taste such as sweetness, or even completely change the taste, this is the deep meaning of the story of the southern orange and the northern orange, you can pay attention to it in the future." ”

Rogge finally stopped thinking about the question of chili peppers, understood something, and was silent, because he admired Hua Wenming very much.

Suddenly, Rogge drank the very spicy coffee in his hand, stood up suddenly, and scolded: "Shet, is this the dark night of civilization?" This is a disgrace, a disgrace to all mankind! He didn't say goodbye to the high priest and Zhang Jingtao on the side, and strode away.

The high priest sighed.

Just a day later, Rogge was back to normal.

Of course, Ah Ha and Fu Xi didn't think about the problem of chili peppers, and the two of them only kept touching the necks of the two Hasi wolves, and they could only use this method to comfort them a little.

Then the silk people dragged the bamboo home.

I have to say that collecting bamboo, the rest of the apes will not think about it.

Although the apes would use a saw-like cutting method when using a stone knife to extract meat, they did not have the patience to cut the thick bamboo that seemed to be completely immovable and very slippery.

If you don't believe it, you can take the best stone knife and go to the bamboo forest to try to cut a bamboo, and I believe you will understand how the ape-man feels about the big bamboo.

Not to mention, those stone knives are taken from all kinds of gui stones, which are very brittle.

In dealing with bamboo, if you are not careful, a stone knife will be wasted.

This kind of difficult thing would not have been done by the ape-man.

Therefore, since bamboo cannot be processed, ape-man naturally will not dig bamboo.

Occasionally, ape-man folds bamboo leaves, which are used to keep out the cold or to use as paper for handwriting.

The ape-man would not pick the dried bamboo, because the thin bamboo poles were not only equally difficult to pick, but also, for the ape-man, the dried bamboo was almost useless.

The sticks used by the ape-men were all rough wooden sticks obtained by chopping with stone knives and by folding and extracting.

When such a wooden stick attacks a beast, it uses the shock power of the wooden stick, and the light and fluttering bamboo is almost inlethal to the beast.

For this reason, once the rope technique is learned, the ape-man will almost certainly tie the stone to the stick and make a stone axe stone to hammer it, just to enhance the shock power of the weapon.

Hey, hey, is the only ape-man who digs big bamboo.

Only this civilized human with a fire has the ambition to try to cut off the bamboo stem with a stone knife, because she especially wants to make a bamboo bowl from bamboo to replace the fishy turtle shell bowl of the Silk people.

After dragging the bamboo home, Ah He and his people removed the excess parts of the bamboo, and then threw the waste into the fire.

The waste branches crackled in the fire, and the sound was very loud, especially the main bamboo that had been broken off, and it exploded.

"Huh?" Ah, I was amazed.

He immediately pulled out the bamboo with a thin bamboo pole.

Then, the two easily came up with the idea of using a stone knife to open the cracked part of the bamboo, so that the bamboo could be divided into long strips.

The bamboo pieces that are divided into long strips can not only be slowly sharpened with a stone knife, but also broken by folding.

Moreover, the two also discovered that the bamboo had become harder after being burned slightly.

"If it cracks so easily, it should be possible to hit it with a stone." Fu Xi said.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! We can make bamboo weapons, bamboo, how tough, let the oil-eaters bully us again! Ah said with his fists clenched.

"Well, after it's done, you can also use stones to scald the bamboos to make them harder." Fu Xi said.

"Yes, we can also use red-hot stones to burn the bamboo, or at least to burn off the burrs of the bamboo chips." Thinking of the fire and scones, Ah He's thoughts became more and more.

This is also the reason why the burnt bamboo has become very smooth.
