I am a primitive

This conspicuous plant has long and narrow leaves, similar to the leaves of corn.

However, there is a big difference. It is much narrower than corn leaves, and more similar to sorghum, which is called Shushu in Han Cheng's later hometown.

But there are still many differences with the sorghum in Han Cheng's memory, but it is more similar to another thing he is familiar with.

This kind of thing is called sweet millet stalk in them.

The so-called sweet millet stalk is a kind of sugar cane similar to the south, but it has many different things from sugar cane.

In terms of the climate where it grows, things like sweet millet stalks grow in relatively northerly places, and do not require as much heat and water as sugar cane.

In addition, the sections of sweet millet stalks are very long, and each section can be compared to two or three sections of sugarcane.

But it is much thinner than sugar cane.

The difference in shape between the two is very similar to the difference between corn stalks and sorghum stalks.

Moreover, sugarcane is generally purple-skinned or red-skinned, while sweet millet stalks are basically green-skinned.

When Han Cheng was a child, sweet millet stalks were definitely a very attractive thing, especially for children.

If there is a place to meet, go to the theater with the adults all the way, and if you can eat a piece of sweet millet, you will be very happy.

However, like most rural children at that time, what Han Cheng ate the most was not the sweet corn stalks that cost money to buy, but the small corn stalks that hadn't grown up, following the adults who hoeed or mowed the grass.

In the cornfields, there will always be a lot of corn that has not grown due to various factors, and is generally only as thick as an adult's little finger.

Even if such corn stalks are full of corn, they are only a little bit big.

However, compared with those strong corn stalks, the unopened corn stalks are sweeter, especially the part from the root to the corn.

So it is often cut off by adults with a sickle, and the leaves on it are removed, leaving only the stalks for the following children to eat as sweet millet stalks.

Not to mention, this is really a good thing to coax children.

At least Han Cheng himself was never coaxed by his family with such things when he was a child.

Cut off five or seven corn stalks with a sickle, and put Han Cheng and the thin corn stalks in the shade on the ground, and the adults began to hoe the ground wearing straw hats.

As for Han Cheng, he would never make trouble until he finished eating the corn stalks.

After all, children in that era had an extraordinary desire for sweetness, and this kind of small corn stalks were more enjoyable than white hairy grass roots.

At this time, Han Cheng was naturally happy to see this kind of thing that looked very similar to the sweet millet stalk in his memory.

If this kind of thing is really sweet millet stalks, it means that my tribe will have a very delicious snack in the future.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the juice of this sweet millet stalk can be used to boil sugar.

The candy made with this kind of thing must taste more pure than the fruit candy he made with fruit.

More importantly, the yield of this kind of thing must be much higher than that of fruit sugar.

If you want to know whether this kind of thing is the sweet millet stalk in your memory, it is not easy to determine just by looking at the similar appearance. The most direct and effective way is to use your teeth to identify it.

Just like how to tell if a chicken is young.

So Han Chengcheng took a sickle from the person accompanying him, and made a move on the thicker one at the edge that looked like a sweet millet stalk.

After cutting it off, use a sickle to cut off the shoots that have not yet grown up, and then remove the leaves that grow on it, and use the sickle to scrape up and down the remaining stems, leaving a layer of hoarfrost on the surface. They all fell to the ground in rolls.

The action is very skillful.

After it's done, I can't wait to bring the root end to my mouth, and bite off a piece of skin with my teeth.

After a while, the bottom section has been peeled off by Han Cheng.

Bite down for a while and chew slowly, and there is also some sweetness spreading in the mouth.

However, this kind of sweetness is very light, the taste is not good, it seems a bit difficult to chew, and there are more residues and less juice.

Moreover, this kind of sweetness is not very authentic, with some green taste.

Such a situation is within Han Cheng's acceptance range.

After all, those sweet millet stalks planted by later generations were the result of years and generations of domestication. The ones he encountered now were still the ones that grew wildly in the primitive era.

Moreover, now is not a good time to produce sweet millet stalks. Generally, these will not fully grow until autumn.

The one I bought just now can only be regarded as a seedling that has just opened, and it is already very good to have a little sweet taste.

As for the not-so-good green taste, it is also a very normal phenomenon.

Looking at the original version of sweet millet stalks in front of him, and feeling the taste in his mouth, Han Cheng had a smile on his face. It was really unexpected for him to be able to meet such things as sweet millet stalks here. Expected surprise.

It's something I didn't think about at all.

In later generations, Han Cheng didn't know whether there was such a thing as sweet millet stalk in the Sichuan Basin.

But it is not known how many years have passed since later generations, and it is not uncommon for some situations like this to occur.

"God, what is this?"

When the followers saw their God Son take a bite of something they hadn't seen before, they looked like they couldn't hold back their laughter, and they couldn't help asking.

There are even quite a few people whose heartbeats can't help but think that what their god son is eating now is the rice that has an extremely important role that he told them not long ago.

"This is sweet millet stalk! It tastes very sweet when ripe, and can be used to boil sugar, which is sweeter than fruit sugar.

You can still eat it raw, just like I did just now, but if you eat too much, it is easy to grind out blood blisters in your mouth. "

Han Cheng raised the immature sweet millet stalk in his hand, which had already been brutally murdered by him, and said to everyone with a smile.

After hearing that this kind of thing is not rice, the people in the tribe couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but after learning about the purpose of sweet millet stalks from Han Cheng, everyone's little disappointment disappeared immediately, and all of them turned into Thick surprise.

Compared with people in later generations, people living in this era are more difficult to refuse sweetness. After all, before Han Cheng made fruit candy, people in the tribe had never eaten real candy at all.

Can only experience sweetness from some fruits.

And those who have eaten fruit candies are impressed by the goodness of the candies. The sweet taste seems to be able to sweeten from the mouth to the heart.

Now, hearing their god son say that this kind of thing called sweet millet stalk can actually cook candy that is sweeter than fruit candy, they are naturally very excited.

Looking at this piece of sugarcane, green light will appear in each of the eyes.

A gust of wind blew by, and the sweet millet stalks shook, and the leaves of each other collided with each other, making a 'rustle' sound, as if feeling the murderous intent from a group of foodies, trembling there.

Regardless of whether it was trembling or not, these people followed Han Cheng's example, cut off some with a sickle, peeled off the outer skin with their teeth, and began to eat.
