Chapter Fifty-Six: Not Regularity (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Farming, tool-making, domestication, the use of fire.
This is one of the aspects of the civilization that this primitive tribe that has constantly brought refinement to Guo Sen.
They can grow vegetables and fruit trees, they can make transportation tools, they can tame animals to help them transport, and of course, the basic technology of primitive civilizations, using fire, Guo Sen has learned from the smoke of their cooking.
He was curious to know, how far would these primitive people evolve their primitive civilizations? Is there more advanced technology?
Guo Sen's gaze gradually narrowed to the direction of the cooking smoke.
It was a tribe on a flat steppe.
A neatly tall wooden fence encloses a large flat land with hundreds of buildings that can be called "exquisite".
Stones and planks are neatly combined with rope to outline the huts.
A large number of primitive people were sitting around dozens of fires, constantly filling them with dry branches.
Above the fire, there was something that Guo Sen had not seen in other tribes.
A huge shell of the fruit of an unknown plant.
It was barrel-shaped, with a hollow on each side, through which two sturdy ropes passed and tied, and the other end hung from a stick the thickness of the men's arm.
The ends of the nearly two-meter-long stick were placed on top of two thick Y-shaped branches that were stuck in the ground.
It's a humble combination of cooking items.
In the shell of the fruit, whose skin had been blackened, there was foam and white smoke billowing, and it was obviously water.
The primitive people who transported the vegetables and fruits drove the Shellless King Eight to the tribe, and then distributed the food around the various fires.
Guo Sen saw that each primitive person began to throw a large number of vegetables and fruits into the boiling water, and then they picked up another thing that surprised Guo Sen.
It was a bowl that seemed to be made of clay or something, and the inner layer was somewhat smooth and covered with fine cracks.
This is undoubtedly a kind of pottery......
Primitive people, have you even mastered this?
Cow Pie!
After a while the vegetables and fruits soften and turn into a paste in the boiling water, and then someone brings down the "pot" that carries them along with the sticks on it.
Guo Sen noticed that someone had scooped out something similar to a scoop and poured it into the pottery bowls.
All the primitive people stared at the steaming food with extremely eager eyes, and Harazi couldn't stop it.
Is it so delicious? Guo Sen didn't understand at all, what was delicious about this paste.
Just like the nightmare advertisement he remembered, a little boy waiting for a black sesame paste vendor to buy a bowl and eat it all and lick it all, these primitive people licked the fruit and vegetable paste clean and slurred the bowl in spite of the heat.
Bowl after bowl.
The primitive people began the mushy carnival, and finally they couldn't eat it anymore, so they were so satisfied that they clutched their bloated stomachs and lay down on the ground.
Guo Sen was puzzled, is this thing really so delicious? Also, you're just going to eat this and you're full?
Just eating fruits and vegetables? Or is it boiled to a paste?
What's going on?
Could it be that the animal resources in this area are scarce? Can't hunt at all? Can't eat meat?
Guo Sen looked at him with questions.
He looked closely at the grasslands, riversides, and forests closest to the tribe.
All kinds of novel and touching animals are constantly presented in front of Guo Sen's eyes.
Their numbers seem to be extremely large, both carnivores and herbivores are abundant, and some of them don't even care about primitive people, as if they entered their own homes, staggering and jumping around the tribe.
If you look closely, countless birds also inhabit the vicinity, some of which are still burrowing through the unkempt hair on the heads of primitive people......
What the hell is this?
Could it be that these animals were all the pets of primitive people?
Or did primitive people already have the technology to build a natural safari?
Or did the primitive people choose the tribe in the zoo?
This is ridiculous.
Aren't animals and birds afraid of primitive people?
Guo Sen turned his gaze to the tribe again, carefully looking for what should have appeared—weapons.
Stone blades, stone axes, stone spears, stone swords......
It's all there!
Why don't you use these to cook those animals that look fat and strong?
Do you make weapons just for defense?
Guo Sen had already run one hundred and thirty-eight alpacas in his heart.
What is the situation?
Could it be ......
No, it shouldn't be possible.
It does not conform to the laws of development.
Guo Sen didn't want to take his somewhat dangerous idea as true.
Perhaps, primitive people only occasionally ate fruit and vegetable paste?
One day, two days......
Over and over again, Guo Sen watched the primitive people go out early and return late, picking vegetables and fruits, transporting, eating mush, resting......
More than ten days have passed.
Even if an animal accidentally fell into the fire or threw itself into the pot, primitive people would pick them up and even make a new pot of paste.
Guo Sen finally understood, and had to admit a fact.
These are the primitive people who are most in line with the human image in their minds......
It's a vegan diet!
What is this concept?
In this world of extremely backward productivity, if primitive people could not get the most important thing they deserved - protein, then it was impossible for their bodies to become stronger.
After all, Guo Sen didn't see these people eating bird eggs, so it means that they almost completely did not have access to adequate nutrients!
Even if those vegetables, root plants and fruits do contain a lot of protein, it will not completely offset their consumption, on the contrary, it may be that the large amount of starch in those things makes them a little fat.
This is completely incomparable to the modern humans of the Earth.
Modern earthlings can choose to eat raw meat, or eat some food that doesn't look very clean, or even choose a vegan diet, which is also supported by a fairly strong medical system and science and technology.
Without these, these different dietary choices are nonsense.
In front of these primitive people, it is obvious that they have deviated from the law, and in this barbaric era, they choose to eat a pure vegetarian diet, and the result is ......
Such a large tribe has less than 500 people.
It stands to reason that since they all have agricultural civilization and related technology to support, they should at least have thousands of talents.
Moreover, the low requirements for meat also hindered their motivation to develop smelting technology, and they did not even have weapons of basic strength.
Not to mention mining and the like.
Guo Sen pondered, how to guide this race?
