Chapter 143 The Corn Is Ripe
Time passes day by day.

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

In the past half month.

It never rained.

And as temperatures continue to rise.

The highest temperature reached 34 degrees on the day.

And because of the dry weather in this half month.

This resulted in cracks appearing on some fields.

In this regard.

Su Mu was a little worried.

After all, if it rains heavily at this time.

Then many skyscrapers will collapse.

Maybe there will be rockfalls in some jungles.

However, as this half month passed.

The corn he planted can also be harvested at this time.

Su Mu doesn't plant a lot of corn, only half an acre of land.

However, even this half-acre of corn can yield a lot.

Young corn is edible.

But old corn is usually beaten into corn flour by machine, and then mixed with pig food or something to feed pigs, chickens and ducks.

But speaking of corn.

The young corn is used to grind into pulp, and then used to make corn buns. The taste is also very good.

and also.

Corn leaves can also be used to feed fish.

"Su Xin, I plan to go to the corn field to see and break some corn back to eat."

"Fields of corn?"

"Brother Su, let me go over with you and take a look."

"it is good."

Afterwards, the two took Shoushan and Xiaobai to the corn field.

As for Xiaobai.

Hot weather.

So Su Mu let it hide in the basket.

Soon.

They came to the cornfield.

As soon as she arrived here, Xu Suxin was shocked by the scene in front of her.

Most of the ordinary corn stalks are 1.5 meters to 2 meters.

But the corn stalks grown in Su Mu's land are actually 2-2.5 meters long.

Even if Xu Suxin stood in front of this corn stalk, she was still a long way off.

And these corns grow very luxuriantly.

The leaves are slightly larger than ordinary corn leaves.

As for the corn, there are two on each stalk.

And the two corn cobs are also very full!
Xu Suxin curiously peeled off the husk of a corn, revealing the golden and translucent corn kernels inside.

Looking at the plump and translucent corns, each one looks very big.

Su Suxin couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Su, the corn in your cornfield is growing really well."

'And every piece of corn has not been eaten by insects. '

Most corns are prone to cornworms if not managed properly.

But in Su Mu's case, Xu Suxin didn't notice it, which surprised her.

"Haha, it's okay. I'm very happy to see these corns growing so well. This shows that this year's harvest is still very good."

Follow the calculations.

One acre of land generally produces 1400 kilograms of corn.

If the soil fertility is sufficient, the climate is suitable, the varieties are good, and the management is proper, the yield per mu can reach up to 2200 kilograms.

As for the corn on Su Mu's side, there are two corn cobs on each stalk.

And the corn on both cobs was very plump.

So according to preliminary estimates, it should be able to reach about 700-900 kilograms.

And the cornfield is very lush.

People stood outside, wanting to see what was inside.

That's really hard to see clearly.

You wouldn't know there was anyone inside unless someone was coughing or picking at the leaves.

how to say.

this cornfield
Looking at it this way, it seems like a good place to steal someone.Pooh.

Thinking of this, Su Mu shook his head.

Why did you suddenly think of this?
"Cough cough."

"Su Xin, come on, let's break off some corn cobs and bring them back to cook at noon, and then taste the taste of the corn."

"Okay, Brother Su."

In fact, uncooked tender corn is also edible.

But it's best not to do this.

Because uncooked tender corn may cause indigestion.

Corn is rich in crude fiber and starchy substances that are not easily digestible. If not cooked, it may cause bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms.

In addition.

In fact, corn stalks are also edible.

Especially when the tender corn is just right.

Most corn stalks contain sucrose, fructose, etc. In addition, they are also rich in trace elements. Eating a little bit of them will also have great benefits for the human body.

soon.

Su Mu and Xu Suxin broke off six corn cobs.

After breaking off the six corn cobs, Su Mu also cut off the broken corn stalks.

When the time comes to go home, you can throw it directly into the water storage lake along the way.

"Okay, let's go back. The weather is getting hotter and hotter now."

"Yes, Brother Su, I remember there was a saying that after a severe drought there will be heavy rain."

"Now, it's probably more than August until the rice harvest."

"And now it's already July, and we're only about a month away from the rice harvest."

"If it rains heavily at this time, it won't be good."

"Yes, but it's going to rain, and there's nothing we can do to stop it."

"I can only hope that it won't rain too much in the past month, and that it will only rain occasionally."

The two of them were talking and walking.

Soon they came to the water storage lake.

"Hey, Brother Su, look, a lot of fish have already swam up there."

Just arrived at the water storage lake.

Xu Suxin could see that there were many fish that could be seen with the naked eye.

And among them, there are quite a few grass carp, carp, and even snakeheaded fish.

'When the sun is high, these guys will swim up. '

"but."

"The water level seems to have dropped a bit recently."

Su Mu raised his eyebrows.

Although he also brought a lot of water down from the mountains.

But unfortunately the sun is too strong now.

Even if there are mountains and rivers, I'm afraid there aren't many.

In addition, it has not rained recently, so the water level of the water storage lake has dropped a lot, which is also normal.

Fortunately, the water level only dropped a little.

And Su Mu didn't believe it. With this weather, he couldn't work for several months at a time, right?

What's going on, let alone a month, even two months, it will definitely rain.

Soon, Su Mu threw the corn stalks he brought directly into the water storage lake.

Just threw it in for a while.

You can see corn stalks floating on the water, being dragged by the fish.

"Come on, let's go back quickly. The sun is so strong, it won't be good if you get a heat stroke."

"OK."

Soon.

The two of them finally returned home.

Once you get home, a fan is indispensable.

Because the weather has been too hot recently, Su Mu bought a horn fan when he went to town last time.

Although it cost 100 yuan, I have to say that the wind power of this thing is really strong.

After just blowing for a while, all the sweat on my body was dried.

Next thing.

Of course it’s corn-shucking.

Since this corn is very tender, you still have to be careful when peeling it.

After all, these corn kernels can easily break with a little force.
