There are many peppers in Yunnan and Guizhou. In the past, I used to survey the fish in the wild. After I caught fish, I just cooked some mountain onion perilla or wild pepper. It has a pure wild flavor and the soup is so fresh that it is indescribable.

Although the climate is clear at the moment, the overall climate is warmer, with long summers and short winters, especially in summer, high temperatures and rainyness, which lasts from late spring to early autumn. The real snowy and frozen winter will last at most one month.

Therefore, the tropical and subtropical crops, pepper, can survive in this climate.

Besides, he can't tell whether he is still on earth or not.

Looking at the terrain, climate, animal and flora, environment, as well as the stars, moon, and sun are very similar to the earth.

But the moon is much more obvious than what you saw before traveling through time, and it seems that the shadows on the moon can be seen clearly with the naked eye.

The same is true for the stars, one by one hanging in the sky like LED light bulbs, bright and bright.

The position of the North Star is also a little wrong, it seems to be on the west side, and there are also Big Dipper, but the spoon handle does not point to the North Star normally, and there are also signs of deviation.

In short, the environment in front of him gives him a plausible prehistoric earth.

Of course, these astrological changes actually have a certain scientific statement in the history of the earth's evolution, that is, the influence of the prehistoric flood.

According to the records of the Shanhai Jing, Gonggong angrily hit Buzhou Mountain, causing the sky to swell northwest and the ground to sink to the southeast, causing a major flood that swept the whole world. After the flood receded, the mountains, rivers and landforms underwent tremendous changes.

The scientific community once speculated that the flood originated from an asteroid hitting the Pacific Ocean, causing seawater to sweep the world, and at the same time changed the angle of the earth. The world changed in an instant, and the entire earth's trajectory changed slightly.

According to time, the climate environment in front of us should be in the early stage of the flood. The animals and plants have not yet experienced the mass extinction of the ice age brought about by that flood. The distribution of species will definitely not be the same as the records owned by humans.

Pepper is native to Asia. If it is still in the Asian region, then the chance of having pepper is very high.

Maybe other American species such as chili peppers can be found.

Because these things may have existed in Asia, but they were destroyed in the flood.

Otherwise, how could the Shanhai Jing record so many strange terrain and properties?

The Shanhai Jing is already an ancient book from the pre-Qin period.

As a geologist, Xu Chen will not be limited by so-called common sense. He is more stubborn than a savage and only believes in scientific results and reality.

A circle of pond edges was built with stones and tiles around the huge fire pit in the cave. The structure was similar to that of the Ba people, and they were all transformed after they learned it.

The flames were burning in the fire pit, and there were two barbecue grills hanging on it. Several women were slowly rotating the grills. Before they got closer, they could smell a strong barbecue scent, and also a strong smell of goats unique to them.

Here, Xu Chen smelled it more clearly, and there was indeed a faint smell of pepper floating in the air.

A large group of people followed Xu Chen to the fire pit. Xu Chen pointed to the piece of meat in his hand and asked that it was cut from the sheep.

The girl who delivered the meat quickly pointed at half of the roasted mutton.

Xu Chen leaned over and smelled it. He did feel that there was a faint peppery smell on the mutton. He pulled off a small piece with his hand and tasted it. It was exactly the same as what he felt just now. He was sure that he had made it wrong. The mutton had a peppery smell. Although it was very light, he was very familiar with it.

However, there are obviously no peppercorns or minced pepper on the lamb.

Xu Chen believes that these savages do not have the concept of putting pepper on the meat at the moment.

So he lowered his head and searched inside and outside the fire pit.

At this time, everyone was alarmed, and hundreds of people rushed over to watch, looking at each other, wondering what Xu Chen was looking for.

The leader of the Wu tribe is a white-haired old woman with an old face full of nervousness.

Feng and other groups of hunters were also confused, not knowing what hysteria their boss was having.

It is already very strange when the Hu tribe is going to run to the mountain to see flowers. The strangest thing is that when watching flowers, they occasionally pick up a stone and hold it in front of them. They twist left and right in the cheeks with scissors, and keep chanting mysterious witch spells in their mouths.

Now that we are at the Muya tribe, we are actually touching the fire pit, making people confused.

"Haha, I found it!"

In the dark cave, Xu Chen raised a vine from a pile of firewood by the fire pit, smiling happily.

This is a pepper vine that is completely dry, but there are still a few fine seeds hanging on it.

Xu Chen took one and sniffed it, then put it in his mouth and chewed it for a few times. His face became even more excited and he even danced a little.

"Haha, pepper, it's really pepper. I've got rich, I've got rich!"

All the Muya tribesmen were stunned.

Only Feng and a group of Ba people understood the three words "get rich", and their eyes suddenly radiated.

The so-called wealth is to pick up things for nothing.

It seems that Xu Chen has found something good again.

"Chenga, Moxi is rich?"

The wind excitedly grabbed Xu Chen's arm.

“Try it!”

Xu Chen picked a pepper and handed it over. Looking at the seeds the size of a bird shit, Feng excitedly threw it into his mouth and chewed it a few times. Then his face changed and spit out his face, his face twisted and terrified that it was poisonous.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Xu Chen smiled even louder, walked to the Muyao leader with the pepper vine, handed it to her and said, "Where does this grow?"

The head of the Muya tribe took it carefully and took a few glances. Then he turned around and asked a few women who were cooking with barbecue. Then he nodded and gestured, "There is a ga on the hillside!"

Xu Chen's mood instantly improved.

The so-called "I search for something without any effort" is to find it.

This trip was worth the rewards alone.

Just now, he was thinking that the broken place of the Muya tribe was far and difficult to walk. He was about to fool them into moving to the river beach of the Gonghuo tribe in the future. Unexpectedly, he discovered a good treasure like pepper in a blink of an eye.

Pepper is a high-quality seasoning born for meat, especially beef, mutton and fish, which can remove the fishy smell. Whether marinated, roasted or stewed, it can increase freshness and enhance fragrance, and can also promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote appetite.

The most important thing is that when there are no chili peppers, this thing can be used as chili peppers.

Especially when meat accounts for most of the food sources, it can greatly improve dietary taste.

If pepper is produced here, there is no need for the Muyao tribe to move away. Stay here to plant and collect peppers, and then you can exchange them with pottery and other items.

Shortly after returning to the campfire and sitting down, a girl came over carefully holding a pottery bowl with more than ten peppers at the bottom of the bowl.

Xu Chen crushed the pepper with his hands, then sprinkled it on the barbecue, and then put it on the campfire and baked it slightly. Suddenly, a stronger peppery aroma was emitted.

Smelling the strange smell of the mixing of barbecue, many people couldn't help but thrust the Adam's apple and couldn't help but start drooling.

This taste is so strange that it seems to arouse a strong appetite.

Xu Chen tore off a small piece of pepper-spilled meat and put it in his mouth. He nodded slightly while also feeling a little regretful.

Pepper does make the mutton taste more fragrant, but unfortunately these peppers are not properly preserved and the spicy smell is already very light. In addition, there is no salt. The light taste also makes the pepper aroma unable to be perfectly stimulated, and the mutton smell is still very strong.

"Try it with Mom!"

Xu Chen tore off a piece of meat and handed it to the Muya Clan leader.

The old woman was so flattered that she quickly put it in her mouth and chewed it for a few times. An extremely strange and surprising appeared on her old face.

"Chenga, I'll try it!" Feng squeezed over with a thick face.

Xu Chen tore a piece for him.

"Soga!"

The meat was thrown into his mouth and chewed it hard for a few times, and the wind couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

The dog has no position at all, you just said it was poisonous.

Xu Chen curled his lips and started eating mutton slowly. The remaining pepper was also snatched by the wind and a few hunters and quickly ruined it.

Sunset, dusk.

A bonfire is beating in front of a spacious cave.

The air was filled with a strong aroma of boiled meat and barbecue, and this faint and strange fragrance was mixed during the period.

Then, a name called pepper slowly spread.

It is said that this kind of wild plant seed in the nearby forest is very delicious for barbecue. Moreover, Xu Chen has reached an agreement with the clan leader that the Muya tribe can pick this seed in the future and exchange it for the Ba tribe with pottery and other things they want. It is of great value and can be exchanged for a small bowl of pottery.

Upon hearing this news, the entire Muya tribe was sensational.

Especially a group of women, they were even more excited and cried with joy.

The Muya tribe is the tribe with the worst living environment among the six tribes. There are no wide river beaches at the foot of the mountain, and there are not many types of plants that can be collected, especially the most commonly eaten plants such as wheat beans. Most of the wild animals here are wild animals in the forest, and hunting is relatively difficult. Therefore, the food is relatively scarce and there are not many things that can be exchanged.

Several other tribes have changed from Ba tribe to a lot of pottery, but the Muya tribe is still in a very short state.

There are many hillsides nearby, and when carefully collected in autumn, the wooden tooth tribe will have an additional wealth income, which can be used to exchange more urgently needed items such as pottery and linen with the Ba people.

Because there are few hemp trees near the Muya tribe, although the tribe arranged for women to go to the Ba tribe to learn spinning and weaving, it is definitely not enough.

After a night of singing and dancing.
