Volume 1 Building the City Chapter 95 Again (2) (Proofreading)

After dealing with the prey, everyone began to look for Su after coming to the valley of dogtail grass.

However, after an hour, nothing was found, but they found wild onions and melons, and in the subsequent search, there was still no trace of millet.

Later, cabbage, radish and soybeans, another important food crop, were discovered.

As the so-called lost east, harvested mulberry elm, although no millet was found, but to get these vegetables, Wang Tian was already very satisfied.

Things went smoothly beyond Wang Tian's imagination. Not only did they get so many varieties of vegetables, but they also got another important food crop, soybeans.

As one of the most common food crops in the world, soybeans were the main vegetable edible oil raw materials in later generations, and most of the soybeans became the source of vegetable oil.

However, except in China, Chinese love to eat tofu and many foods made from soybeans.

Chinese are the world's largest consumers of soybeans because of their extraordinary love for soy products, but China is not the largest soybean grower.

As for which country it is, everyone should have guessed that the author originally wanted to talk to you about this topic, but found that even the words "Zhuan" had become sensitive words, so he had to give up.

Is the water a little deep, or is the site too sensitive?

Without further ado, continue to codeword

The Chinese cultivated soybeans for the first time in the world, and soybeans are not only recorded in detail in the ancient classics of our country, but also confirmed in archaeological excavations.

Before the Qin Dynasty, soybeans were called "soybeans", and after the Qin and Han dynasties, they were gradually called "beans", and one of the five grains that people often said was "five grains of abundance".

Zhao Qi, a great Confucian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, pointed out in his commentary on Mencius that "the five grains are rice (rice), millet (millet), millet (millet), wheat (wheat), and soybean (soybean). ”

Zheng Xuan, a Confucian of the same era, commented on the "Zhou Li" and believed that "the five grains, hemp (hemp), millet (millet), millet (millet), wheat (wheat), and beans (soybeans) are also." ”

Both men identified soybean as the main food crop, with the only difference being the other two rice and hemp.

Historically, rice has always been planted in the south and millet in the north, which is just a difference in understanding between the two.

"Shu" and "bean" are originally the same thing, and the most famous article describing soybeans is Cao Zhi's "Seven Steps Poem" in the Three Kingdoms period.

"Boiled beans are used as soup, and soaked beans as juice. The beans and the beans here refer to the soybean fruit and stem.

It can be seen that soybean, as one of the traditional grain crops in China, is widely planted in China. In the ancient fields of our country, the main crops that people can see are rice, millet, millet, wheat and soybean.

It is the main crop of dry farming in the north, and it is the main food on people's tables, and millet and soybean are corn and soybeans, because of their drought tolerance, which determines his status as the main crop in northern China history.

Before the Tang Dynasty in China, large areas south of the Yangtze River were "wild lands", but after the Song and Ming dynasties, with the continuous development of the south by the central dynasty, rice in the south gradually replaced the two main food crops in the north.

In some film and television dramas, regardless of the era, rice is used to give porridge for disaster relief when a disaster occurs in a certain place, and Wang Tian can only be speechless.

As a later southerner, Wang Tian certainly hoped to obtain rice so that he could eat familiar rice.

But if he remembers correctly, what he learned in junior high school, the Hemudu ancient human ruins, show that although the Hemudu people began to cultivate rice six or seven thousand years after the later generations, it is still not the main food crop.

Wang Tian's limited historical knowledge, coupled with the fragments of memories on the Internet, is actually not sure that he can really find corn, and now he can find soybeans, he is very satisfied.

At least the famous Sichuan dish mapo tofu in later generations has become possible (of course, you have to find Sichuan pepper), and other things like soybeans stewed dog meat, milk soybeans soaked in sea bass, and 1,000 ways to eat tofu will become possible.

However, the yield of these crops has made Wang Tian worried, and judging from the current situation of these seeds, the yield per mu will be very impressive.

But then he was relieved, the quality is not enough, the quantity is to make up, the most important thing in the primitive era is the land, although the slash-and-burn cultivation is backward, as long as the base is large enough, there can also be a harvest.

In addition, the yield of wild and artificial cultivation must be different, so we can only take it slowly, start breeding first, and under intensive cultivation, after generation after generation of improvement, the variety and yield will always change.

The first person to eat crabs was not so simple, and those high-yield food crops in later generations were also achieved by standing on the shoulders of giants.

After collecting all the available species, the group left the Dogtail Valley and returned to the high platform of Cotton Valley, where they had lunch and began to follow the traces of the wild boar yesterday.

In terms of tracking prey, the experience of the leader and the second brother of King Kong was far higher than that of Wang Tian, and along the way, he fully respected the opinions of the two.

Descending from the cotton valley plateau, tracking up in the direction where the wild boars came that day, the leader finally stopped after walking for 5~6 miles.

Wang Tian looked at the terrain, this was a rocky hillside, "Can the boss be sure it's here?" Wang Tian asked.

The leader and the second brother both shook their heads, and the second brother took over: "It is difficult to find traces when you trace here, there are a large number of stones on this mountain, it is impossible to trace them with footprints, and the only thing that can be confirmed now is that they went to Cotton Valley from here." ”

The leader also continued: "Son of heaven, we estimate that the chance of finding the wild boar's nest is not very large, you see that this mountain is full of sand and gravel fragments, and it is impossible to continue to follow it. ”

Wang Tian also agreed, since we are all here, take a look around the neighborhood, forget if you don't find it, anyway, I am already very satisfied with today's harvest.

Right now.

"Woohoo! ……”

Suddenly, a wolf howl made everyone stop, and everyone paused for a moment before immediately reacting.

"I'll go, it's a wolf, quick! Everyone defended back-to-back in a circle and was on guard. Wang Tian was the first to react, and quickly gave an order in his mouth.

After a wolf howl came, everyone's eyes looked at the grass in the distance, and out of the grass came three gray and black-haired wild wolves, the long wolf face showed a hideous state, with white and sharp teeth, and a low roar in the throat.

Wang Tian heard the meaning of this voice, and his deep voice carried a strong warning meaning...

And now the three wolves who jumped out did not attack, but only stayed where they were and bared their teeth and threatened them, and the three wolves did not approach forward, nor did they have the intention of retreating.

Wang Tian looked at the current situation and asked everyone to slowly retreat to the top of the mountain, widening the distance between them and the three wolves who suddenly encountered them.

In terms of the current situation, according to Wang Tian's judgment, it is very likely that they have been pitted by the wild boar herd, and the place where Wang Tian and they have tracked all the way is not the location of the wild boar herd's nest at all.

There's nothing wrong with this being an animal's den, but it's not a wild boar's, it's the nest of the wolves in front of you, which is a headache.

Wang Tian understands the habits and characteristics of wolves, this creature has one of the best IQ among animals, and its sense of territory is also very strong.

Now Wang Tian is condescending, and has found many unusual places, and the place where everyone is now is not so much a rocky slope as a mountain.

The strange rocks on the hillside, large and small stone caves, seem to extend in all directions, and the trees and grasses next to them are very messy, and it seems that there has been a battle.

The scene is already very clear, it seems that the former boar king led his family to find trouble with this group of wolves.

As the leader of the animal kingdom, wild boars and wolves are all social animals, and they have a common characteristic that they love to hold grudges, be careful, and once they are hated, they are basically an endless ending.
