【004】New food

A white bird flew down the treetops, and a few leaves that should have landed were disturbed by it, and they swirled to the ground, and it was not long before they would melt into the earth because of the decay, providing new nutrients for the forest.

Shen Nong led four warriors of the Huangqiu tribe to walk in the forest, each of them holding a bone spear in his hand, which looked a bit intimidating.

"Wu, it's too dangerous to do this kind of thing, you don't need to come with us. The flying shell that was following behind Shen Nong couldn't help but say.

Yesterday, after learning that the Huangqiu tribe was actually very short of food, early this morning, Shen Nong took the initiative to ask to go out to forage with the second team where the flying shell was, which was a great embarrassment for the flying shell, you must know that Wu Ke is the most important existence in a tribe, and it is also the cornerstone of the existence of a tribe.

Although the forest in this area, the flying shell often walks around on weekdays, and he knows exactly where there is danger and where there are resources, but this does not make him feel at ease, because the forest is very dangerous, you can never guess what will happen in the next second, maybe there will be a lost beast, maybe a poisonous insect hidden in the grass.

Shen Nong didn't answer the question of the flying shell, but lowered his head and carefully observed the dirt and plants under his feet and on both sides of the road.

Yesterday, Shen Nong made a detailed understanding of Xiong Yao, and found that there are only three kinds of edible fruits and vegetables known in the Huangqiu tribe, namely pineapple, eggplant and banana, that is to say, in the case that the No. 1 hunting team of the Huangqiu tribe can not hunt prey, the whole clan can only rely on these three fruits and vegetables to cushion their stomachs, which is very terrible to think about.

For this situation, Shen Nong directly locked the root of the problem on the narrow vision of these primitive people, because they have not eaten, so they do not know what can be eaten in the wild and what cannot be eaten, in order to save their lives, most primitive people will only eat those fruits and vegetables that have been tested by their ancestors with life to determine that they will not be poisoned if eaten.

But Shen Nong, who came through is different, as a modern person, he has eaten thousands of ingredients, is familiar with the eating methods of various fruits and vegetables, and directly does not know how many civilization levels are higher than these primitive people around him, and in terms of finding food, his vision is definitely much higher than that of flying shells who often go out.

"It's also very meaningful to go out for a walk, take a walk, and see the scenery, and it just allows me to observe the working environment of your second team. Shen Nong said casually.

"Working environment?" Flying Shell looked dazed.

"Huh!" At this moment, Shen Nong's gaze suddenly swept over a vegetation area on the right-hand side, one of which was a plant with obtuse and round leaves, and clear veins attracted his attention, only to see that the rhizome of this plant had small yellow flowers, and the leaves were emerald green, and the whole was about thirty centimeters high from the ground, and it was growing quite luxuriantly.

Shen Nong's grandmother had planted peanuts in her hometown before, and Shen Nong, who often went to help with the work, could recognize at a glance that the plant in front of him was exactly the same as the overall appearance of peanuts, but because he was currently in an unknown primitive era, some things might deviate from the impression, Shen Nong did not choose to tell Feihu the news that this plant was food at the first time, but chose to squat down, reached out and slowly scraped up the soil around the roots of the plant.

Seeing that Shen Nong suddenly began to dig the soil, Feihu learned to squat down in a good way, and asked curiously, "Wu, what are you doing here?"

"You'll find out later. Shen Nong said mysteriously.

After a while, a small soil pit was dug out by Shen Nong, and in the moist soil, the rhizomes of the plants, which were exposed to the air and full of pods, appeared under everyone's eyes.

Looking at the peanuts sticking to the soil, Shen Nong couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough, it's really peanuts." ”

"Wu, what is this?" Seeing Shen Nong's smile on his face, Flying Shell asked suspiciously.

"Food, you can find more of this plant in the future and bring it back to the tribe for storage, and eating it regularly is good for your health. Shen Nong shook the full peanut in his hand, picked one with his hand, wiped the soil on the skin of the peanut, broke it directly with his hands, and presented the two pink flesh inside to the flying shell.

For the food of peanuts, "Benjing Fengyuan" once praised it as a long-lived fruit, which can strengthen the spleen and stomach, and the diet is difficult to eliminate, and "Materia Medica" is also a praise that does not admit defeat and says: Peanuts, according to the book, this fragrance can soothe the spleen, Xin can moisten the lungs, and the good product is also good, but the cloud fried food is harmless, and the discussion is not thoughtful. Although the smell is pure, it is not equal to the heat of walnut meat, and it is not like the coolness of black taro and water chestnut.

Many people like the taste of peanuts, Shen Nong is no exception, under normal circumstances, peanuts can be eaten raw, because peanuts do not contain toxic substances, eaters can choose to eat raw or cooked, different eating methods will have different taste and texture.

In order to demonstrate the flying shell, Shen Nong directly poured two peanuts into his mouth and chewed them vigorously.

"Oh my God......" Feihu's expression instantly became serious, but he didn't expect that in order to be able to add one more edible nut to the Huangqiu tribe, Wu would choose to test the poison himself! This is one of the most deadly behaviors known to all.

"Well, to be honest, the taste is actually a bit light, but if it's for the sake of the stomach, it's barely acceptable. Shen Nong swallowed the crushed peanut and said with a serious face.

Shen Nong handed the remaining peanuts to the flying shell: "Take it, just look for it according to the appearance of this plant, the digging method is similar to what I did just now, press hard, don't dig up the roots of the peanuts." ”

"Got it, Wu. Feihu nodded in response, since Shen Nong had personally tried this fruit that he had never seen before, it would probably prove that it was non-toxic, so that there was one more item on the list of edible foods of the Huangqiu tribe, which was really gratifying.

Carefully remembering the appearance of peanut roots and leaves with the other three team members, the four of them began to search for peanuts in the nearby trees and grass.

When he had nothing to do, Shen Nong took out a stone knife wrapped in animal skin from the python skin skirt around his waist and fiddled with it at will.

In the Huangqiu tribe, the class division was very strict, women and children wore grass skirts or leaf skirts, and only men with the ability to go out hunting were qualified to hunt prey, skin each other, and make a animal skin skirt for themselves.

And because the identity of the chief and the witch is more noble, they can wear a light weight and cold texture python skin skirt.
