Section 40 Thorn Melon

No one mentioned any damn "environmental protection". No one thought that a violent-maned bear or howling wolf would have higher life than humans. We are the masters of this planet, and whether we kill or eat up other species, it is our exclusive right. In fact, if we think about it, you can understand that if it is not us who are far away at the forefront of the evolutionary line, and who will cry for the fate of human beings being killed and eaten? Who would hold a bloody skull pattern and shout "Protect (human) animals" in front of those in power?

When the whole village was filled with strong fishy fish, people started a new job.

The snow in the valley melted late, and there were still ice residues in the valley after the spring plowing ended. With this natural refrigerator to keep fresh, Tianhao had enough time to boil sea salt. It was still the old method. The rope was tied to a big tree near the cliff, put the people down, and then tied the stiff dead deer with a rope, pulled it to the cliff, and transported it back to the village.

This work was carried out throughout the winter, and the marinating process of venison was more complicated than trout. Tianhao did not intend to make all the giant horned deer into bacon. He spread the large pieces of deer legs into villagers' homes, cut them into small pieces, hung them on the beams, and made bacon through the smoke rising from the fire pit.

Deer jerky is a delicious food. Tianhao plans to take this opportunity to dry all the venison meat and preserve it. The situation in Panshi Village is much better now than in the past, but when it comes to real valuable wealth, only these villagers in the village.

The source of thyme is a kind of leaf. It is oval and green in color. The large trees on the mountains around the village are mostly black pine, and this smaller tree grows in it. The host memory is only a description of the smell of this leaf. According to the concept of botany in the civilization era, Tianhao believed that the time for large-scale collection of leaves and drying and storage can only be summer.

The weather gradually became hotter, and the dried fish was made very successfully. The white fish meat was translucent after drying, and the side of the fish skin had a beautiful and smooth texture. Tianhao cut a piece with a knife and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. The fresh and salty taste quickly overflowed on the tip of his tongue under the stirring of saliva, making him feel the delicateness that rough animal meat does not have.

When sowing wheat on a large scale in spring, people also sprinkle a small amount of vegetable seeds in the fields, mainly thorn melons and some green vegetables. Tianhao had never seen thorn melons before, and this was not a plant species from the civilization era at all. The green vines extended upward along all the solids that can be climbed, and small yellow flowers bloomed on the vines, which looked a bit like pumpkins.

It also relies on insect pollination. When young fruits grow from withered petals, Tianhao found that there were dense spikes growing on the surface of this thing. At first, these spikes were softer and not considered thorny to touch. A few days passed, and the color of the spikes of the light green spikes gradually became darker. Dark green, dark green, dark blue... Finally, it turned completely black.

In two weeks, the spike tip changes so significantly. At this time, the spike is extremely hard, and when you touch your fingers gently, it will pierce the skin and even blood will flow out.

The melon is not large in size, equivalent to an adult fist. The spikes densely spread on the surface of the melon body are about five centimeters in length, and most of the connections with the melon body are still green. The old priest called Shang Tianhao to pick some thorn melons and pick a handful of tender buds on the branches of vines. Tianhao watched the old man use a machete to break the thorn melon from the middle, revealing the tender yellow fleshy part inside, and the outer skin on the edge is a little green and very hard.

The old priest used a knife to peel off the thorny skin, used a spoon to dig out the yellow flesh in the hollow space between the thorny melon, cut the entire melon body into small pieces, put it in a pot and stew it with water. The pot quickly emitted a sweet and pleasant aroma.

After washing the vines and sprouts, they were pinched into small pieces and put them into boiling pot. When the melon was cooked, the sugar water in the pot turned into a yellow-green and sticky thick juice. The old priest removed the fire and put two bowls in a wooden spoon. He deliberately twisted a little coarse salt and sprinkled it into Tianhao's bowl.

The taste is exactly the same as the pumpkin in my memory. The sweetness produced by the stimulation of the salty taste echoes between the lips and teeth. What makes Tianhao regret is that there is no rice. Although the thorny melon vine branches taste good, it still feels lighter in the mouth. In addition, the thorny melon is too small at this time. If you can get older and get harvested in autumn, you will have more sugar accumulated inside the melon body and taste more delicious.

The thorn melon must be reduced to vines, and about half of the fruit must be picked at this time. The reason why it is not different from the past when it is left with the thorn melon or pumpkin, the surface name is distinguished by its appearance.

Tianhao didn't understand: What did the pumpkin experience during the years he was sleeping? Why did it have so many thorns on the surface? And even the name changed?

Tianfeng's injuries have recovered. The strong physical fitness of the barbarians in the north is shocking. Tianfeng couldn't stop leisure. He knew that he had just recovered and could not do too vigorous exercise, so he put a few condoms near the village and caught a few pheasants.

The gorgeous feathers show that this is a pheasant breed, but its size is comparable to that of the Tushouji (turkey) in the civilized era. Tianhao is not surprised by this. Since he entered the host and resurrected, he has seen too many animals and plants with body shapes beyond his previous memory. "Huge" seems to be the most important label of this special era. As the size of the barbarian humans increases rapidly, all species seem to have undergone the same changes.

The work of boiling water and plucking hair was left to Tianshuang. Although she was underage, she was very diligent. The sufficient nutrition made the girl's face turn rosy, and her shriveled cheeks gradually swelled under the nourishment of soup and barbecue. The old habit of eating lice could not be changed. Tianhao was beaten with a stick a few times. He was afraid of being beaten. Finally, he learned to catch lice and pressed it to death on the spot instead of stuffing it directly into his mouth like before. He cut off his long hair, stripped off his skin robe and threw it into a hot water basin for a few times to take off his dark greasy dirt, and finally revealed a relatively clean face.

Tianhao pulled out the most beautiful tail feather from the pheasant and carefully inserted it into the depths of Tianshuang's hair. When he got close to it, he smelled a faint smell of oil from Tianshuang's face.

Tianshuang was afraid of this brother, but the respect was obviously more than fear. She raised her head and showed a flattering look: "Third brother, I listen to you and keep rubbing my face with bear oil, you can smell it."

No matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't stop the wind, sword, and a beautiful beauty will become infinitely vicissitudes after being left outdoors for three months. There is a high probability that "beauty" is developed after all. Only the young lady with her fingers that are not touched by spring water will have tender and beautiful skin. Tianhao has always doubted the brainless bullies in the ancient stories who play tricks on the street to seize the women... Are these guys all blind people without eyes? Even the village women who work in the fields all day long can take a look at it, and even the danger of being chopped off by Master Qingtian must snatch that kind of woman back?

The best cosmetics in the world are actually Vaseline. Fashionable women in the civilized era will never understand this truth. Cosmetic manufacturers will use countless examples to let them understand how stupid this idea is. In short, high-end products worth ten thousand yuan per set are very different from glycerol that costs a few cents a bottle. You are not scientists, and it is very difficult to spend time researching. It is better to take out the money from your pocket and buy it seriously.

After all, Tianshuang is his "sister". The special aesthetic concepts of women by the northern barbarians in this era made Tianhao speechless. He could prescribe a complete set of physical training courses for Tianshuang according to his own logic, including soft gymnastics, model steps, dance... but it was useless. The men here only like tough women with tiger backs and bear waists, and no one likes delicate and skinny girls with delicate and skinny waists.

It was Tianhao's idea to wipe his face with bear oil. The world is developing after all, and the times will change after all. No one can tell what will happen in the future.

The chicken head, chicken feet, chicken wings, chicken necks are chopped off and cooked with chicken necks. The internal organs are never wasted. The chicken mixed soup tastes very good and very delicious. Tianhao cut a piece of smoked venison and chopped it up. He took another fish that had just been sent from the beach. He picked the fish and mixed it with some seasoned leaves, stuffed it into the hollowed pheasant's belly, put it on the fire and baked it slowly. When it was roasted, the aroma was overflowing.

The family was having a great time eating, and Tianfeng also showed a long-lost smile on his face. Tianhao scooped a bowl of chicken soup and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Brother, your injury is almost done. Please help me during this period, keep an eye on the progress of building a new house in the village and let them get it faster."

Tianhao did not completely abandon the ancient and inefficient method of equal distribution. But he promised that all those involved in labor would get double food and that the variety was abundant. The formation of private ownership would take a process, and before that, he would accumulate as much public wealth as possible in Panshi Village.

Tianfeng was chewing the delicious barbecue and eating it all over his mouth. He nodded repeatedly: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I can't wear this robe in recent days. With you here this year, the situation in our village is good, with meat and fish. It's hard to say about other villages. Every year, at this time of year, and in winter, they will come out to replace people."

Tianhao nodded slightly.

This is a time when there is no connection between the blue and yellow.

Of course, the overall situation is better than in winter. Wild vegetables can be dug on the mountain, and wild animals are not as aggressive as in winter.

Since the beginning of spring, seven women in the village have become pregnant. According to convention, Tianhao has arranged some light and carefree men for them. The difference between barbarians and humans in the civilized era can be seen from childbirth. Pregnant women do not need to be pregnant for ten months, and the normal pregnancy period is five months, and no more than six months at most.
