Chapter 114 Grilled Corn

Chapter [-] Grilled Corn
Because of the use of super fertilizers

The corn stalks of Zhang Feng's house grow very thick, and as far as the eye can see, it is a large green area, full of vitality.

Zhang Feng was also very happy to see his corn growing so well, and the corn cobs were big and long, so he took Liu Yiyi and walked to the other side.

"Madman, isn't this your cornfield? Where are we going?" Zhang Qian looked around and asked suspiciously while following Zhang Feng.

"The waxy corn here is not waxy corn. The waxy corn is still at the foot of the mountain over there." Zhang Feng turned his head and smiled and explained, because waxy corn tastes better no matter whether it is roasted or boiled, so in Almost every household in the countryside grows a small piece of rice for their own food.

As for other corn, because the taste is not good, it is usually either sold or fed to the family's livestock after harvest in autumn.

"Oh!" Although Liu Yiyi had never grown corn, she also knew that everyone usually ate glutinous corn, so she silently followed Zhang Feng and walked towards the foot of the mountain on the other side.

Zhang Feng's corn field is not big, only about two acres, and the annual output in previous years was only more than 1000 catties, which was only enough to feed two or three pigs, and there was not much profit at all.

But this year, due to the use of super chemical fertilizers, the corn in the field has grown gratifyingly. Zhang Feng estimates that it is not a luxury to double the corn production this year.

But then Zhang Feng shook his head again. Even though the production of corn at home has greatly increased this year, it only weighs three thousand catties. A catty of corn on the market can only be sold for about one yuan, and if all of them are sold, the income is only three thousand yuan, which is still very low. Therefore, the life of farmers living in mountainous areas is still very difficult.

Therefore, in order to increase income, fewer people in the village just planted food. Everyone planted a lot of cash crops. If the problem is solved, the fruits, ginger, peanuts and other crops that everyone grows become tasteless, and almost all of them are sold at the price of cabbage, which is very cheap. Therefore, it is very important to increase everyone's income, open up markets, and expand sales channels.

"Hehe, I really don't worry about eating radish! Is this something I'm thinking about?" Zhang Feng shook his head, he was not in his position, and he didn't have any good solutions, so Zhang Feng didn't think about it anymore. Continue to lead Liu Yiyi to the foot of the mountain.

"Okay, here it is."

"It's finally here." Liu Yiyi said happily.

Breaking corn is very simple, but before breaking it, you need to find mature corn. Everyone usually peels the corn husk first, and then pinches the corn kernels inside to know whether the corn is ripe or not.

Zhang Feng demonstrated it once, and Liu Yiyi learned it immediately, and after a while, the two broke up more than 20 times.

"Okay, Yiyi is almost done, let's go back."

"Ah! Don't break it?" Liu Yiyi didn't seem to have had enough fun.

"There are more than 20, and there are too many to finish." The corn is still fresh and delicious, and it will not be so sweet and sweet the next day, so generally everyone breaks it on the same day and eats it up on the same day.

Then the two put the corn into the basket, Zhang Feng carried the basket, and Liu Yiyi took the sickle, and walked home unhurriedly.

"Wait a minute!" The two were walking on the mountain road when Zhang Feng suddenly called out.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yiyi was taken aback, stopped wondering and asked.

Looking at the ground in front of him, Zhang Feng showed a smile on his face, "Hehe, there is a small trap here!"

"What? A trap?" Liu Yiyi thought it was a trap set by a hunter at first, but when Zhang Feng peeled away the weeds on it, there was a small hole of [-] to [-] centimeters inside. manure.

"Hehe, this must be the masterpiece of the ducklings again!" Zhang Feng said affirmatively when he saw the trap, because it was left over from playing with them when they were young, so they are very familiar with it.

"Hee hee, these kids are really naughty!" Hearing Zhang Feng's explanation, Liu Yiyi also found it very interesting.

"Let's go, go back!"

"Why did you cover it again?" Liu Yiyi asked in surprise when she saw Zhang Feng covered the weeds on the trap again.

"It's okay, there is no danger inside anyway, let's see who will win the big prize!" Zhang Feng said with a smirk.

"Hee hee, you're really bad!" Liu Yiyi said with a smirk.

....................................

"Who is the one who received a thousand knives!"

As soon as the two of them reached the mountain pass, they heard earth-shattering and angrily shouting and cursing from behind. When Zhang Feng heard that it was not the third wife, who else could it be, she probably won the big prize and stepped on the cow dung in the trap.

Hearing the yelling behind them, the two looked at each other, "Haha, hurry up!" Liu Yiyi burst out laughing, and wanted to drag Zhang Feng to leave quickly.

"What are you afraid of, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Anyway, we didn't dig the trap!" Zhang Feng is still very calm. He has done such things a lot when he was a child, and he has already formed experience. The more he panicked after doing bad things , the easier it is to be exposed, as long as you remain calm, others will not know that you did it.

"Hehe, seeing that you are so experienced, you must have been naughty when you were young!" Liu Yiyi was relieved now, and then said to Zhang Feng with a smile.

"Average, the third place in the village!"

The two walked towards the house talking and laughing. As a girl who grew up in the city, Liu Yiyi felt that what happened today was very interesting.

Today, I not only saw the thief who stole the corn, but also saw the traps dug by the children, especially the pile of cow dung inside. Thinking about Liu Yiyi, I found it very interesting. These things don’t exist in the city at all, Liu Yiyi I feel very fresh, as if I have discovered a new world.

"Yiyi, Xiaofeng, you guys are back. You haven't been late for roasting corn for many years." Mr. Liu saw the two of them coming back with corn on their backs, and he missed the taste of roasting corn very much, because there is no such thing as roasting corn in the city.

"Grandpa, we're back!" Liu Yiyi said with a happy smile.

Zhang Feng put down the basket, and then peeled off all the corn, leaving only five or six to be roasted and eaten, and poured the rest of the corn into a large pot to cook.

After lighting the fire, Zhang Feng put the leftover corn into the stove after the charcoal was burned out in the fire pit, and soon the corn inside exploded crackling, like fried popcorn. fragrance.

"Ah! It smells so good, is it ready?" Liu Yiyi sat next to Zhang Feng like a greedy cat.

"Hehe, not yet, we have to wait a while." Zhang Feng turned the corn over with tongs and roasted the other side.

About 2 minutes later, the other side was also roasted golden, and every corn kernel was exploded, exuding a strong fragrance, "Okay, finally baked one."

"Oh, it's so hot!" Liu Yiyi quickly grabbed it with her hands, shrinking her hands because of the heat.

"Don't be too busy, try wrapping it in corn husks!" Zhang Feng smiled and suggested.

"Huh! It's really not hot anymore!" Then Liu Yiyi happily took the roasted corn, and handed it to her grandfather in the main room.

"I haven't eaten roasted corn for many years, my wife, come and taste it too!" The old man was very happy, and gave half of it to Grandma Liu, sighing.

"Well, it's delicious. It's still the same as before." Grandma Liu took a sip. It was delicious and delicious, and the taste was almost exactly the same as she remembered.

Seeing the two elders eating so happily, Zhang Feng was also very happy. He stuffed two more into the stove, and soon everyone got one each. The food was very sweet. This was the first meal of roasted corn this year.
