Rebirth Blessed Wife and Little Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1020 Corn and Pepper

At this time, Xiaolan walked towards the dozens of withered corn stalks, raised her head, and looked at the two bulging things on the corn stalks.

Xiaolan jumped up, reached the corn cobs with her hand, and pulled hard, and the big corn cobs were broken off one by one.Xiaolan is a very curious person. Since she is already interested, she will delve into it to the end.

Xiaolan peeled away the corn husks layer by layer, revealing a bright yellow corn cob. With a puzzled face, she pinched the tenderest one on the top with her fingers, and put it in her mouth to bite. It tasted a bit sweet, but the granules below were very hard , can't eat.

Liu Yiyi pretended not to understand, and asked, "Sister Xiaolan, what is this?"

Xiaolan doesn't know either, but in Xiaolan's heart, Madam is the most knowledgeable in the entire Shitou Village, "I don't know, let's break some sticks and let Madam see if I can eat them. Miss, I will break these sticks." , you pick a few of those bright red things that look like pig intestines, and take them back together."

Liu Yiyi nodded, "Okay, let's split up."

Xiaolan broke six sticks, Liu Yiyi picked more than a dozen peppers, and went back together.

Back in the yard, Mrs. Sun was not idle. The water in the three buckets became clear, and the powder that had settled down was white.Mrs. Sun poured out the water inside, dug out the powder inside with a spoon, and put it on the bamboo weaving.

The weather has been fine recently, and it dried in the sun in two days.

Mrs. Sun is holding a piece of white sweet potato flour and inspecting it carefully. This thing can indeed be kept for a long time.Mrs. Sun carefully put these cubes of sweet potato flour into the tank.She is going to make some sweet potato flour for the sweet potatoes at home, so as not to waste them.

Sun-dried sweet potatoes have a bad taste, but they can be boiled in water, then put some flour, and burnt to a paste. It tastes good and suppresses hunger. This is also a way of preservation.The last method surprised Sun.

The steamed sweet potato fries were half-dried in the sun. Mrs. Sun tasted a few, and found that the taste was actually good, and the storage time was quite long, so it was very good as a snack.

Sun is pregnant and has a gluttonous mouth, but there are not so many snacks in the village. This dried sweet potato is just right for the occasion.

While Mrs. Sun was eating sweet potato fries, Xiaolan was holding a few corn cobs, and Liu Yiyi came in with a dozen big peppers in her front pocket.

Xiao Lan hurriedly said, "Ma'am, take a look, what is this?"

Sun put down the sweet potato fries, hurried over to help, and took the corn on the cob from Xiaolan's arms, "What is this?"

Liu Yiyi grabbed the right to name it, "Mother, the grains on it are yellow and white, just like Mother's piece of jade, let's call it corn, shall we?"

Mrs. Sun was taken aback, thought about it carefully, and nodded, "Okay, the corn sounds very nice. Where did you get it from?"

Xiaolan and Liu Yiyi glanced at each other, showing guilt.

Madam usually doesn't let them run around, but today she played hide-and-seek with Miss, but went to the most remote place in the north of the village.

Liu Yiyi knew that Xiaolan would not lie, and would not think of good excuses, so she hurriedly said: "Mother, we chased Xiao Hei, and we came to the weed house at the back of the house before we knew it, and then we saw this Two things we haven't seen before. I looked like food, so I broke some."

Seeing Xiaolan's guilty expression, Mrs. Sun knew what was going on!
Not caring about teaching her daughter and Xiaolan a lesson now, Sun asked: "Go, take me to pick those back."

If it is the same as sweet potatoes, you can plant more next year.

When Liu Heixiong came back, he saw that his wife had something to do, so he had to follow him.

Sun happened to need someone to move things, so he gave the sack directly to Liu Heixiong, "Let's go, Yiyi and Xiaolan found some good things again, let's pick them all up."

Hearing this, Liu Heixiong was shocked. The sweet potatoes during this period of time allowed the whole house to live a stable winter without worrying about eating land.

If you can find other good things, maybe it can make everyone's life better.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Liu Heixiong said, full of energy.

Xiaolan took Mrs. Sun and Liu Heixiong to the place where the corn was broken just now, "Ma'am, the head of the family, my lady and I found the corn field here. The corn is all withered and yellow, and it should be fully ripe. The one that looks like pig intestines Things, the leaves are quite green, and they should not be fully mature yet."

Liu Yiyi also quickly said: "These are new things, should we keep the seeds?"

Mrs. Sun thought for a while, then nodded, "Of course we need to keep the seeds. As Xiaolan said, those corns are broken off, and those things like pig intestines continue to grow on them. When the leaves wither and turn yellow, we will Come pick them again. Anyway, there are more than a dozen of them at home, so let’s taste what it tastes first and see if we can eat it.”

Liu Heixiong has always acted according to Sun's ideas, and this time it is the same, "Do as Madam says."

Liu Heixiong broke off the corn and threw it directly into the sack.A total of 76 corn cobs, plus the six corn cobs at home, a total of 82.

Back home, Mrs. Sun put the corn cobs away and dried them in the sun. Two days later, she rubbed the corn cobs into corn kernels.

After weighing, Mrs. Sun was very surprised at the planting area.

Seeing his wife so quickly, Liu Heixiong asked, "Yunniang, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Sun looked up anxiously, "Master, this thing called corn, I figured it out, the yield per mu can reach thousands of catties! My God! If it is really edible, then we won't have to starve at all this time!"

"Ah?" Liu Heixiong was taken aback, but he still understood the concept of thousands of catties. The yield of the wheat they planted themselves was only more than 100 catties per mu, and in some places, it had not yet reached.

There is no flat land on the mountain, and they all find some slightly flat places to use as terraces, and the area is not easy to calculate, so they can only estimate roughly.In short, the yield is not high!
If there is a yield of thousands of catties, then one mu is equivalent to the yield of five mu of wheat.

"Then let's try to see if this food is edible?" Liu Heixiong urged, "You tell me what to do!"

Sun washes the corn in water, and then exposes it to the sun.

After the corn is dried again, put it in a pot, and then use the stone mill at home to grind it into corn flour.

Liu Heixiong said directly: "Yunniang, don't eat this thing, I'll eat it first to see if it's poisonous!"

When Mrs. Sun heard this, she couldn't laugh or cry, and glared at Liu Heixiong, "You are stupid! Since you don't know if it is poisonous, how can you use someone to test it? Well, I will use some corn flour here to feed it later. Pig. If the pig is fine, then people can eat it, just like we tested sweet potatoes before!"

Liu Heixiong stared at Sun's pair of eyes staring at him, Sun's beautiful eyes were full of light, and his heart fluttered for a while, and his heart skipped a beat.
