The ancients, who didn’t know how boring modern people are, and how many reels they need to create a differentiated track in the video field, looked numbly at the girl in the video going to farm, and then the video time moved quickly by itself. Quickly take the newly produced beans home and press them for oil.

Fortunately, the second video about rapeseed oil does not start with growing rapeseed, but starts with the golden rapeseed flower field.

The edible history of soybean oil can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Most other oils are from the Tang and Song Dynasties, but no matter what kind they are, they were not available in the Qin and Western Han Dynasties. So if they were available in the Eastern Han Dynasty, ordinary people would not be able to eat them. How to make them is even more difficult. Ordinary people can know it.

Under the canopy, everyone seized the opportunity to record all this. It is definitely not possible for one person or a family to do it. Taking the village and family as a unit, many people want to work together to do it. At least if they can't afford meat, they don't need to spend a lot of money to buy oil from outside merchants.

Oil can be stored for a long time, and businessmen also think that this is a viable business. People in the countryside can get together to set up an in-house oil mill, but it is different in the city. They can try to start an oil mill business in the city.

Except for the person who mastered this technology, everyone else was very happy. It was another fruitful day.

Lucky viewer No. 6, Zhou Fa, is from Weidu. He thought of Hanshi Powder, which had recently become popular among his friends, and worriedly asked the anchor how this medicine was. Is it really effective?

Cao Pi knew about it and asked He Yan. He had always been displeased with this 'fake son' who was favored by his father. He had heard about what they ate, but he was too lazy to ask.

["It's useless, it's a famous chronic poison in history."

You may not know much about the history of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but this Five Stone Sanna is so famous. Taking out a piece of paper, Xiaoxiao gave him popular science while writing.

"The main components of Wu Shi Powder are white quartz and silicon dioxide; red stone resin and aluminum silicate tetrahydrate; stalactites and calcium carbonate; stone sulfur and elemental sulfur; and finally amethyst quartz and calcium fluoride; and then there may be alum, Sun Simiao extracted elemental arsenic from it. As we said before, its toxicity is commonly known as arsenic."]

The nobles who have really started to make this popular in the Wei capital recently: It's a good powdered medicine. When the anchor said it like this, we scientific people don't think it is elegant or advanced at all.

I have also studied this thing, but it seems to be unreliable. Zhu Houcong, who cherishes his life: record, record, record, an extra small chemistry class is coming.

"If you eat this, you will either get arsenic poisoning or fluorine poisoning. In addition, your refining technology is not good, and there are too many other impurities in the ore, which will also cause excessive poisoning of various trace elements.

Of course, if you insist on pursuing romance and think embracing death is beautiful, then I respect the blessing. "After that, Xiaoxiao spread his hands.

Anyway, this kind of thing is made of ore, which is very expensive, and the distribution channels are not high. She has also advised those who want to eat it to just eat it. 】

Everyone has a rebellious mentality. The Cao Wei nobles who originally thought it was no big deal to just take medicine, calmed down after seeing the anchor's attitude of saying, "Good words don't tell the damn ghost" after saying blessings.

Who wants you to respect blessings? It’s just medicine, we don’t need to take it.

Sun Simiao, who was on the way to Chang'an, couldn't help but nod his head, and told the boy beside him: "Whenever you come across a recipe for Han Shi Powder, burn it directly. Such harmful things cannot be left in the world."

And Ying Zheng thought of the pills he had also taken, and didn't they contain some of the things the anchor said. The more he thought about them, the angrier he became, feeling that he had really let the alchemists waste his life.

Zhou Fa couldn't sit still after hearing this, so he decided to go find his friend and tell him that he couldn't be allowed to take this medicine no matter what.

Lucky viewer No. 7, Lu Yan, is a young aristocratic lady from a fairly well-off family in the Tang Dynasty. She is also a loyal fan of chemistry classes. She got the opportunity to show the anchor what she recently tried to practice using chemistry. Why is this thing different from what she imagined? Too same.

[Xiao Xiao first looked at the materials of her things, and then searched for the main ingredients of these things. This is for practicing glass, but it is not enough to play with the temperature at home.

She found the ingredients of the materials and gave her the correct temperature. As for the different colors and specific proportions, she had to slowly bake and test them herself. 】

Lu Yan didn't expect that asking a question would be such a good thing, so she quickly copied all the recipes that the anchor gave her, hoping that she could also make the beautiful glass on the anchor's computer.

Others who didn't expect to gain so much in one day: I copied it, thank you Lu Yan of the Tang Dynasty, thank you to the anchor, if you can make glass, I will give you two a toast.

Wang Ping is from the Song Dynasty, and he is still a Song Dynasty person who is planting wheat.

He wanted to ask the anchor why the wheat there was so golden and plump. Even the green winter wheat on the news had such tight ears.

Different from foreign crops such as corn and later rice, wheat is a food crop that has always been cultivated by people on this land. However, before it was ground, people would not grind it into powder and eat it.

["I'm here to find a video..." As for wheat, Xiaoxiao remembers that this ancient and modern variety, as well as the varieties in different regions, are different. 】

The cover of the video shows a blue sky and golden wheat, with a few bold words written on it - Civilization? I am civilization!

"Senior brother, Maizi, how can we be civilized?"

"No, it's not our civilization, it's their civilization!"

The word civilization, in most dynasties, means bright literature, prosperous culture and education, and civilized education, which is completely different from the meaning of the development state of human society in later generations.

But in the past few days, everyone has followed the anchor and watched so many of their new things and various documentaries, and they can probably understand the meaning of civilization in later generations.

"But this shouldn't be the case, why should Maizi?"

"Watch the video and see what it explains..."

[The green wheat field appears, and the narrator uses a humorous voice to introduce the relationship between distant brothers who were originally distant brothers, but were madly suppressed by another brother, wild rice, and its overbearing and powerful brother rice, and then begins to introduce the plant family and genus of rice, japonica rice and indica rice. , and deep-water rice that is not afraid of being flooded. ]

"Wild rice, wild rice, it used to be millet?"

"That one is fused with smut fungus or something. Can millet be combined with other things?"

"Earlier in the past, people didn't grow rice, but collected grass seeds. They even had dogtail grass..."

"Then how do their descendants know?"

[The video on rice ends, and the scene goes to the Mesopotamia in West Asia, introducing the 'Epispermum' and 'Wheat Urartu' half a million years ago, as well as 'Timofeiwe', which were hybridized with Aegilops ' and 'Emmer wheat', in this Fertile Crescent, humans widely cultivated 'Emmer wheat' and 'Emmer wheat', and an additional variant 'Durum wheat' appeared...]

"The wheat grown by later generations was originally this kind of wheat, a hybrid between emmer wheat and the common wheat. No wonder there are so many ears..."

The farmer who planted wheat kept nodding his head and turned around to introduce it to his children: "Our wheat is durum wheat.

This is what Tianmu said. It is frost-resistant. We plant it in autumn. When it rains in autumn, it will sprout. We will harvest it in May and June of next year. We are not afraid of heavy floods in summer. We will plant vegetables on planting days. "

The child asked: "Dad, was it true that no nobles ate wheat in the past? Just like beans, only us country folk ate it?"

The child's father scratched his head: "According to Tianmu, there was no grinding before, so there must be no wheat flour and no tofu. It is normal for nobles not to eat such hard wheat rice and bean rice. We don't take wheat and beans home now. Grind it, no one boils it."

The people of Qin and Han Dynasties looked at the structure of the grinding machine released by Tianmu, as well as the gluten and yeast that were constantly washed out of the water, and thanked Tianmu again.

Stones are easy to make, so let’s try to find a way to make one. It can have flour and gluten and is easy to wash. There is no corn, but there is melon.

[In the Fertile Crescent during the same period, wild barley was also domesticated by humans like wheat...]

Everyone was really excited when they heard that barley and its variant naked barley are drought and cold-tolerant and can be grown in mountainous areas where there is constant rain and no sunshine.

A map is shown at the beginning of this video to explain that the two river basins are very far away, but it is at least much safer to go there by land than by sea. If we can bring back this barley, the farmers will have more guaranteed food rations. The country also has more food reserves.

The people of the Tang Dynasty felt that this barley looked familiar from the beginning. When another variant of barley, highland barley, was released from the sky, they suddenly realized that there seemed to be this barley in Tubo.

Seeing that people in later generations did not eat barley very much, so they boiled water or made wine, people of all dynasties were really jealous.

It doesn't matter if it tastes bad or makes your throat irritated, it's food, so you grow it and use it to make wine...

After Barley ends, it is the story of Oats. The humorous way of telling it made everyone laugh.

"There are quite a lot of varieties of oats, including skin oats, Byzantine oats..."

"It turns out that our oatmeal noodles are also oats, naked oats...don't tell me, our oatmeal noodles are really delicious!"

"This oat was used to mix in the fields with nutrients from wheat to crowd out the weeds. As it rubbed, it became more and more like wheat. No wonder Tianmu said it domesticated itself!"

"Tianmu said, this is called Vavilov mimicry."

"Mimicry...this statement is a bit interesting..."

In classrooms of different schools of thought, teachers also used the example of oats to ask students questions: "Why do you think this oats domesticated itself?"

The disciples were also very curious about this topic and answered enthusiastically one by one.

"In order to survive, it becomes like wheat, and someone will plant it, so it doesn't need to compete with weeds for nutrients."

"But it's a plant. It's motionless there. How can it become more and more like wheat?"

"It's not it that survives, it's its seeds. Most of the seeds will be taken away by humans. This business is not cost-effective at all..."

[Rye is originally a weed, but has excellent cold tolerance...]

"We have never seen this kind of rye before. It can be grown in winter and can grow in sandy soil. Is it really that amazing?"

"The ergot it grows is too scary. If you eat it, you will be poisoned and sick..."

"You can eat wheat, barley, and oats, but rye still needs to be mixed with wheat flour to make bread. How unpalatable would that be?"

"Looking at later generations, wheat was directly hybridized with triticale. It seems to be really unpalatable..."

The imperial courts, which did not have the strength or safety to go to sea, all turned their attention to the west. They used to think that the Central Plains was good enough, but these West Asian food crops are more useful than the last.

Perhaps their output is not as high as that of later generations, but in terms of being cold-resistant and can be grown anywhere, it is enough.

As for the taste, that is not something they are qualified to consider now.

Liu Che, who originally sent people to bypass the Xiongnu to unite with several western countries: Well, it’s not just about fighting the Xiongnu. He wants all the good things in the Fertile Crescent, even those that look like weeds. Unfortunately, one day he suddenly ascends to the throne.

Liu Che now understands what the anchor said about food diversity and genetic diversity. Related to the consequences of incest marriage in humans, seeds must be more often married to outside families. You can't look down on others just because they look like weeds. , maybe the offspring of the marriage will do miracles.

[Central and South America, which has been isolated from Eurasian civilization for more than 10,000 years, contributed corn, one of the three major staple foods...]

Before the story of corn, everyone followed the anchor to listen to the story of Li Denghai. This video shows ancient corn restored by human archeology.

Looking at the now plump and golden corn cobs, the tall and upright poles, the ancient weed-like plants, and the possible thin appearance of the corn cobs, everyone fell into deep thought.

These are completely two kinds of plants, right? Today's corn stalks are so green and taller than people, but in ancient times they were just like water plants?

And its seeds are not corn cobs at all, but small sugar canes that look like they are segmented!

Hearing that there was another genetic mutation during the domestication process, Liu Che once again confirmed his thoughts: Sure enough, living things should communicate with multiple genes.

But the explosion of corn seeds is not only that the number of seeds has increased, but that the seeds are really exposed from the sections of sugar cane!

His big man is currently unable to go that far to America, but he must find someone to go to West Asia. Barley and rye, these wheats are really needed in the Central Plains.

Some people were thoughtful after hearing about the evolution of the three staple foods of wheat, rice and corn.

Each of the staple foods sounds like they grow well in the wild and have been domesticated by humans. They have grown taller and stronger from their former thin appearance, and have more and more fruits and seeds.

However, the humans who domesticated them have to take good care of them from sowing to harvesting all year round, weeding and fertilizing them, and they are also afraid that wind, rain and bad weather will cause them problems.

Anchor, why don't they need so many people to farm and all of them go to school to find work? Isn't it because they have enough food and don't need to worry about going hungry?

From this point of view, it is obvious that these grains have trapped human beings on this land from generation to generation on the condition that humans can survive with enough food.

Thinking of this and looking at the cover title of this show, he seemed to understand something...
