Volume 1 Stone Age Chapter 040 180-day side line

When Heishi heard this, he only felt that the chrysanthemum was tight, and his legs were frightened.

Very few people who have eaten croton are willing to experience it again.

However, as a younger brother, his protest was useless, so he could only endure Kikube's discomfort and obediently follow behind.

Chen Li strode forward.

To the north of the tribal territory is a mountainous and hilly terrain, which is not high, but quite complex.

Follow the flow of the creek and see a lot of new plants along the way.

Dog Tail Grass: An annual herb that has the effect of dispelling wind and brightening eyes, clearing heat and diuretic.

Plantain: an annual or biennial herb with diuretic, heat-clearing, eye-brightening, and expectorant effects.

Desmodium: Primroseaceae, pearl cabbage. It has the functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, diuretic and stone discharge, invigorating blood and dissipating stasis.

And so on and so forth.

"Why do you have a 'diuretic' effect......" Chen Li secretly scolded himself.

In addition to the low herbaceous plants, there are of course some tall trees.

Sycamore: deciduous tree, malvacea, sycamore. The wood is tough, rot-resistant, has a clear grain, and is versatile.

Arborvitae: evergreen tree, cypressaceae, oriental cypress. The wood is moderately soft and hard, delicate, fragrant, and has strong resistance to decay. The seeds can be pressed for oil, edible and medicinal.

All are some good tree species that are very versatile.

However, I did not see any plants suitable for making fiber and linen.

After a while, the three of them climbed over a small hill and came to a low-lying area with few trees.

The low-lying area is moist with mud and lush vegetation, covered with lush low plants, and there are many birds flying and falling.

The birds, which seem to be pecking at the seeds at the end of the plant.

"Huh? Edible seeds? Chen Li's eyes lit up.

If you look closely, the plants in front of you are all slender green grasses about 1 meter high, and there are clusters of yellow and white spikes hanging at the ends.

"Could it be grain?"

Suddenly, Chen Li's spirits were greatly lifted.

He ran briskly down the slope and looked into the pile of plants.

Lines of information emerge.

Millet: Poaceae, millet genus, annual herbaceous second cereal crop. It is also known as millet and millet, that is, the yellow rice in the five grains.

Yellow rice!

"Oh my God! It's really cereal! ”

Yellow rice, this is the "ji" in "Jiangshan Sheji", one of the main foods of the ancient Chinese!

"As long as you bring back the yellow rice seeds and teach the primitive people to farm, it won't be long before you can establish a farming culture!"

Chen Li was overjoyed, and his eyes narrowed with a smile.

Although the yellow rice plants in front of me are withered and thin, and there are few seeds on the ears, it is simply a "famine" level yield on the earth.

But after all, it is a grain, and discovering its meaning is far more important than its own value!

"It's just that the amount of yellow rice growing seems to be a little small......"

He glanced at the depression and found that there were very few yellow rice plants, about 1/20th of the vegetation in the depression.

It's more about reeds.

Reeds: Poaceae, Phragmiteau, perennial herbaceous plants. Also known as Pujia, the plant can be used for medicine, papermaking, and broom.

This weed, which is useless to modern humans, occupies more than 70% of the vegetation cover, swaying the end of the flower species, and when the wind blows, the reeds fly everywhere like dandelions.

In addition to reeds, there is a more familiar weed.

Barnyard grass: Poaceae, barnyard genus, annual herbaceous plant. The ancestors of rice. Seedlings have hemostatic effect, plants can be used as feed, and seeds can be edible.

Chen Li went to the field when he was a child, and knew that barnyard grass was a harmful plant in the rice field, and he had to pull it out when he saw it.

However, in the information provided to him by the "Basic Survival Manual", the sentence "the ancestor of rice" surprised him a little, which can be said to be an eye-opener.

"It turns out that barnyard grass is the ancestor of rice, no wonder it looks so similar."

The information given by the system is usually not wrong, and whoever says that the ancestor must be the ancestor.

"If rice is bred from barnyard grass, can I try to grow a wave?"

Chen Li had a bold idea in his heart.

He Chen someone drilled wood to make fire, cut wood to build houses, and did all the things that the two human ancestors of the Suiren clan and the Youchao clan did.

Then why not have the "Shennong's" behavior of cultivating grains and planting crops?

Anyway, we have to teach everyone to farm, it's just to add one more "try" on the basis of "planting", and it doesn't take much effort.

"Ding~ Trigger the side quest [Farming]."

"Mission: Grow more than one type of grain in batches and harvest it successfully."

"Mission time: 180 days."

"Reward: Legacy Stereotype*2."

Just when Chen Li's idea fell, a system prompt suddenly appeared.

"180 days of farming!"

"It's just a side ???"

Chen Li was speechless for a while.

To be honest, the task of [farming] will appear, and it is completely expected by him.

But he was a little surprised that such an important thing as farming was only a side quest.

Isn't farming important?

Or is it the expansion of civilization that is the main core of the system?

Chen Li was a little puzzled.

But fortunately, the rewards for this quest are quite rich.

The two inheritance stereotypes are the direct popularization of the two technologies, and their use is very large.

If you're lucky, you can step straight into the Bronze Age!

"The work of the old man Shennong is really to be done."

Of course, Shennong's ancestor "tasted a hundred herbs" behavior, he will definitely not imitate it.

There is only one life, and he has a system to help identify the efficacy of plants, so there is no need to risk his life at all.

After all, he is just a little white face who eats soft rice, not a great human ancestor.

Chen Li picked up an ear of yellow rice, bit the shell with his teeth, and saw that it was already full of flour, and it was about to solidify into rice grains.

He said, "The yellow rice and the weeds are almost ripe, so in a few days I will bring people over to harvest them and leave the seeds." ”

What is a bit of a headache is that there are a lot of birds here, and I don't know if the grain will be eaten by the birds in a few days.

"Boss, what is this thing, can you eat it?" Ah Stick saw Chen Li's action of eating yellow rice, and also learned it again.

Then he immediately spit it out: "Phew, it's hard to eat, it's worse than sour fruit!" ”

Blackstone on the side had no interest in this.

People who mistakenly eat wild fruit croton are estimated to dare not eat wild plant fruits indiscriminately for the rest of their lives.

Chen Li said with a smile: "Of course, it is unpalatable to eat raw, but when it is ripe, go to the chaff and cook the mature rice, you don't want to eat a bowl is not enough." ”

Human beings eat grains and have a history of tens of thousands of years.

Yellow rice is one of the best, supporting the lives of many ancient ancestors.

This kind of food, which has been screened by countless ancient humans, is undoubtedly the most suitable for human taste.

"Can this thing still be cooked? Doesn't a fire turn into carbon? Ah Stick scratched his head and said puzzled.

In his eyes, the so-called "cooked" is nothing more than roasting on the fire.

"To cook this, you need to have kitchen utensils."

Chen Li explained simply, and then said with a wry smile: "Speaking of which, we really need kitchen utensils, and I still have a recipe in my head that I have nowhere to put it." ”

If you have a pot, you can stew meat soup, boil bone broth, and steam seafood!
