Quietly, the time is moving towards the end of September and October.

In the minds of the locals, this is almost the "winter" of Fang Tian's previous life.

It grows in spring and grows in summer, and is harvested in autumn and stored in winter. Although there is no clear concept of spring, summer, autumn and winter, some characteristics of "winter storage" are indeed beginning to be revealed everywhere. For trees, it is the leaves that begin to decrease, turn yellow, or wither, and for maple trees such as Owen Anderson and others, it is the time for morning exercises, which begins to move backwards.

Not lazy.

For them, the timing of the morning exercise is not a fixed time, but is determined by the height of the sun.

Although this is a choice under primitive conditions, it is obviously more reasonable than the previous life to work and rest according to the clock time. In the previous life, it was five o'clock in the morning, and it may have been bright in the summer, but it may still be dark in the winter.

Does the physiological state of a person walk according to a fixed time, or according to the position of the sun?

Apparently the latter.

In other words, in the previous life, when Fang Tianlai came, the time setting of the clock was actually unreasonable, or in other words, it was still in a simple and crude state, and theoretically speaking, it needed to be improved from a rigid timekeeping to "solar time".

Of course, this is idle talk.

In addition to the obvious change in the morning exercise time, there is another change in the compound, that is, as the weather gets cooler, the frequency of barbecue begins to increase again.

In fact, in Fang Tian's opinion, the winter here is not cold at all! At the coldest time, the temperature probably did not drop by ten degrees. In such a warm weather, I eat barbecue at two ends for three days. It really doesn't matter?

But it's a pity that those who have this view are just Fang Tian.

Groton Nankin Sanlao. and Owen Anderson, these relatively advanced martial artists, not to mention ten degrees above zero, even ten degrees below zero, it is impossible to feel cold, but when Fang Tian saw them gathered around the campfire, stomping their feet. When he shook his hands, and even exhaled, he was drunk in an instant.

Fortunately, I haven't put my hands together yet. Pocketed in his sleeves, Fang Tian said in his heart.

Hey, over there, on Seven Star Island. Another campfire by the side. Who was that old man with his hands folded in his sleeves? Fang Tian looked at it fixedly, it was Galodos, the Archmage! In an instant, Fang Tian's nerves began to go out of sorts......

Damn, I really want to move you all to the South and North Poles, and see how you can behave in that kind of place!

Can you still shrink your whole body into a ball?

And in view of everyone's expression, Fang Tian moved something out.

Its name is "hot pot".

Bright charcoal fire. The shiny copper pot, the hot soup in the pot. Then throw the thin slices of meat piled high on the table into the soup, wait for it to roll a few times, and then use two small wooden sticks to clamp it, send it to your mouth steamingly, put it on your tongue, tsk, that feeling!

Refreshing!

And, yes, two small sticks.

When the hot pot was made out by Fang Tian, in addition to the horizontal brushing and brushing of the guys in the courtyard, such things as chopsticks also really began to become popular in the courtyard.

Last year, Fang Tian got the chopsticks out, but the size of the compound is not used to this strange thing, compared with two small wooden sticks, it is obviously more convenient to use the knife and fork that he is used to, but at this time, when eating hot pot, chopsticks are more efficient!

As a result, small sticks became popular.

There's another thing that's all the rage, chili peppers.

Fang Tian didn't focus on improving his diet, but thanks to his unconventional understanding of various ingredients now, as far as chili peppers were concerned, it was naturally impossible for him to satisfy his current appetite with just one or two chili peppers.

The fact is that by now, Fang Tian had already tried no less than thirty kinds of chili peppers that he could find in the surrounding area. This kind of thing, which may only be accepted and liked by human beings, lives a colorful and romantic life in the natural world without natural enemies.

Fang Tian effortlessly found a variety of peppers with different colors, aromas, and tastes.

These big peppers, small peppers, round peppers, sharp peppers, green peppers, red peppers, yellow peppers, purple peppers, and even black peppers, some are bright in color, some are fragrant, some are spicy, or fierce or long, etc., Fang Tian tasted them one by one, and then combined them from different angles.

It's just a chili seasoning.

In Fangtian, it is like making wine, and it is like composing a piece of music. Different kinds of chili peppers, like musical notes, change all kinds of indescribable charm in his hands.

As a result, the chili powder and chili sauce that are now in his hands can't stop when people around him eat them.

Especially at this time, in the steaming pot, the boiling red oil is both daunting and greedy. The slices of meat soaked in red oil tossed and turned in the mouth, lingering on the tip of the tongue, and on the tip of the nose and heart of everyone.

In addition to the inherent different meat slices and potato chips, all kinds of mushrooms and the like have also been put on the table of the compound, of course, not to mention bamboo shoots or something, and in addition to these, fish fillets, shrimps, aquatic plants and so on, are also mixed in.

When he first came here, Fang Tian was surprised that he didn't eat fish.

By now, he had come to understand why. Not eating fish is not because there are any taboos, but because of a large number of factors that are intertwined.

First, it is because there are a lot of poisonous fish here, which is one of the reasons, but it is not the main reason. The main reason is that most fish have spines, and in the case of using knives and forks, it is extremely inconvenient to eat fish with spines.

These two reasons alone make people feel insensitive to this kind of thing.

Third, when the oil is very lacking and the quality of salt is not high, how to make the fish "not unpalatable" is really a headache. At least, in Fang Tian's opinion, the vast majority of natives should be very uninterested in this.

To sum up, these three reasons alone are enough to exclude fish from the ingredients.

In fact, there is one of the most important factors, that is, there is no shortage of food here, not only is it not lacking, but it is also very abundant, and the phenomenon of starvation is rare or even absent even among the lowest class of the people.

If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful.

If everyone doesn't eat it, then let alone fish, even grass, and even grass roots, will be dug up and eaten. At that time, what fish can be eaten and what fish can't be eaten, poisonous or not, no matter how complicated, can stump people?

Now, of course, the people here are not in the mood to pay attention to this kind of "chicken ribs" thing. So over time, not eating fish has become a custom or custom here.

However, customs vary from person to person, and customs vary from person to person.

"To love the lotus out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, not vines and branches, fragrant far and clear, pavilion net planting, can be seen from a distance and can not be blasphemed. ”

"Huangzhou is a good pork, and the price is as cheap as dirt. The noble man refuses to eat, and the poor man does not understand how to cook. ”

In the previous life of China, since Zhou Dunyi, lotus was loved by many people from cheap grass, and since Su Dongpo, pork has gradually entered everyone's hall from cheap.

In this life.

Well, it's hard to say what the future will be, but from now on, things like fish, in September and October of this year, have spread from the compound at a wind-like speed through the hot pot thing.

Chafing dish.

All kinds of ingredients are boiled in one pot.

The easiest, but also the most abundant.

This is also one of the charms of hot pot.

Without any surprise, after a period of time, Red Rock Town, Yanhuang City, was full of hot pot.

"Guest officer, look, hot pot, have a serving?"

Greetings like this sounded in Yanhuang City, sounded in Giant Rock City, sounded in the Southern Regions, sounded in Southern Xinjiang, sounded in the Empire, sounded in many, many places outside the Empire, and even in the distant Northland. (To be continued......)

PS: This chapter may be called "Hot Pot Christmas Special"?:)

Well, happy holidays, everyone!
