   Chapter 199 Red Glutinous Rice

Bee smiled and said: "This is the water source tree, which our ancestors did not know where to find it. Every year we have to find a suitable place in this forest to plant some small saplings. The water source tree can produce water, precisely because of These water source trees ensure a continuous source of water. With the supply of water, our tribe can continue to survive here.”

  Lin Lang was even more interested, and said with a smile: "Shuiyuan tree? It sounds amazing, how does this water source tree produce water?"

  Bee and Fishtail couldn't explain it clearly, and they didn't know either. They only knew that this water source tree was the treasure of this tribe, and it was absolutely forbidden to cut it down.

  With water source trees, even in the driest years, they will not be short of water, and the water usage will not be affected at all.

  Lin Lang gently stroked the trunk of the water source tree and felt the strong vitality. The water content of this tree is indeed very, very high, probably because the ability to hold and store water is very strong.

  It can lock the water firmly on weekdays and release it when it is dry, so as to adjust the amount of water.

   That being said, it is indeed a treasure.

   After walking around the woods for a while, it was almost time, and the bees and fishtails took them back to the tribe—it was time for supper.

  The big leader of Mang specially invited the important core figures in the tribe to accompany him, which was quite solemn.

  Because Lin Lang and Li Xian expressed that they wanted to taste the special food of the Mang tribe, the leader of Mang and Mang Wu specially explained it, and the preparation was very rich.

The surface of the large tree stump was polished to a smooth surface, and several sheets were placed in the open space. There were various kinds of food in large leaves, bamboo tubes, and clay pots. Everyone sat in a circle with a smile. to introduce them to the cuisine of this tribe.

Roasted bamboo rat, roasted sparrow turtledove, roasted fish with lemongrass, roasted grasshopper, a piece of hard-boiled bird's egg with shell, boiled mussel, boiled yam lily, roasted yam, peach, plum, red raspberry, deep Some unknown wild fruit the size of a pigeon egg with purple skin and other unknown wild fruit and so on.

  All kinds of roasted and boiled food are used for seasoning, besides salt, there are star anise, cumin and galangal.

What surprised Lin Lang and Li Xian most was that they also steamed something similar to rice, jujube red, and the grains were condensed together and crystal clear. When steaming, they were mixed with a lot of flowers, and when they were eaten, they were lumped together. Eat in hand.

Both of them were very interested in this. One of them took a steamed rice ball mixed with flowers and ate it. The taste was soft and chewy. It smelled full of rice fragrance and tasted very fragrant. Same.

  Glutinous rice, this is a good thing that can make many kinds of glutinous rice cakes!

  The Chaoyang tribe has rice, white rice, but no sticky rice!

  Although Lin Lang is even more looking forward to finding wheat one day, because wheat can be transformed into countless kinds of delicious pasta, and can also make wine, but if you get glutinous rice, it is also a great deed worth celebrating!

Seeing that both of them like to eat this, the leader of Mang was also very happy, and said with a smile: "This is a dumpling made of wadi that is only available in our tribe. Other tribes don't understand it, or the two have vision, this is good. Eat? Haha!"

"It's delicious, especially fragrant!" Lin Lang nodded with a smile, and it was easy to fill his stomach. He also contained enough nutrients for the human body. No wonder the Mang tribe could survive even if they didn't hunt and planted. well done.

   If it weren't for the extreme shortage of salt, the salt tribe would be stuck to death, their life would be better, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is comparable to a paradise.

  Mang tribesmen were very happy to hear what Lin Lang said, warmly greeted them to eat more, and introduced other foods to them.

Other tribes only like to eat meat in big chunks, how can they see these roasted tits, roasted bamboo rats, roasted grasshoppers, roasted fish, such small eggs, etc., and even have a good relationship with their tribes Brother Li tribe people do not like to eat here, it is rare for Lin Lang and Li Xian to express their liking for eating with relish, but it really makes them happy!

  The confidence of the Mang tribesmen has greatly increased, and the smiles on their faces have become more sincere and enthusiastic.

  Look at it, let’s just say, they are not bad, finally they have met someone who understands them and agrees with them, right?

   Guests and hosts are happy!

   After breakfast the next day, the leader of Mang took a few tribesmen and personally led Lin Lang and Li Xian to stroll around their tribe.

  Lin Lang and Li Xian finally saw a large area of ​​glutinous rice with jujube-red rice grains planted on the other side of the hillside where their tribe lived—the Mang tribe called it a wadi.

True to its name, this kind of red glutinous rice is not planted in paddy fields, but in dry land, but according to the leader of Mang, if it does not rain, water needs to be introduced into the ground every twenty days or so to penetrate through. water once.

   Therefore, this piece of dry land is actually the same as a paddy field, but it is not irrigated.

   Right now is the fastest growing season for red glutinous rice, each one has grown numerous side shoots, and the ground is covered in clusters.

  This planting method is not transplanted like rice, but direct sowing.

The leader of Mang said that in more than 30 days, the fruit will bloom and bear fruit. When the fruit is ripe, the skin will turn a light red, and when it is cut back to dry, the fruit will fall off, and the surface of the fruit will fall off. The shell is beaten with a wooden stick, it is easy to crack, and grains of jujube red grains are obtained, which can be boiled in a clay pot and eaten.

   They like to mix it with various flowers or wild vegetables, or fish meat or bird meat that has been removed from the spines, all of which are very delicious.

Afraid that Lin Lang and Li Xian would not understand, the leader of Mang Da specially emphasized that, despite the inconspicuousness of the small fruit, and the troublesome process from planting to harvesting, in fact, this is their staple food, precisely because there are With this, they won't go hungry.

  Lin Lang Lixian nodded in agreement, expressing special understanding!

  This is food!

  Others do not know the importance of food, of course they do.

  This must go back!

I thought that the leader of Mangda would be reluctant to give it, but he didn't expect him to be very generous and immediately agreed, and said with a smile: "Of course you can if you want, but we don't have much left now, we can give you some evenly. Come back when you are mature!"

   "We want to take some seeds back and plant them ourselves."

   "Yes! I'll tell you how to plant it, it's very simple!"

The leader of Mang was even happier, because he had persuaded the leader of the Li tribe several times to persuade him to plant, but he did not accept his kindness at all, but instead looked down on his face, thinking that the Mang tribe not only liked to do it by themselves, but it was thankless It's really unkind to want to pull the neighbors into the water!

   makes the big leader of Mang feel aggrieved!
