Chapter 240: The Corn Is Ripe
Time flies, and before you know it, a few days have passed.
The mobile signal tower in the village has begun to be built, but Lin Pengfei doesn't pay attention to that matter now, the village chief attaches great importance to it, and takes a few villagers over to help if he has nothing to do, thinking that the mobile signal tower in the village will be built as soon as possible, so that the whole village will have a network as soon as possible.
After breakfast, Lin Pengfei inspected his field as usual, after all, for Lin Pengfei, these are now his wealth.
The crops in the field are growing very well, except for the weeds, everything else is fine, especially the absence of pests and diseases, which is very important.
After all, what people who farm most are afraid of is pests and diseases, in order to get rid of pests and diseases, basically they have to sprinkle pesticides, and if they don't sprinkle pesticides, there will be no good harvest in the field.
Moreover, the fruits grown from this crop are either crooked melons and cracked dates, or they are pitted by insects, and there is no way to sell them.
The so-called pure green vegetables that do not use pesticides on the market are actually fake, and vegetables that do not use pesticides at all can grow so well, then hell.
Even the vegetables grown in the mountains for self-consumption will be sprayed with pesticides to remove insects, but the residue of this pesticide is not much.
It is said that the vegetables grown by the mountain people themselves do not use pesticides, and there are very few of them, Lin Pengfei has been in the village for so many years, and he has never seen a vegetable in the field without pesticides.
However, Lin Pengfei is now planting fields without a single pesticide, not Lin Pengfei to save money for the pesticide, but the crops in these fields are not badly pested, which is mainly due to the effect of the "magic iron hoe", the "magic iron hoe" turned over the ground, there are very few pests and diseases.
Even if there are very few insect infestations, the birds in this mountain come out early in the morning and are eliminated.
The only thing that gave Lin Pengfei a headache was these birds, even if he woke himself up early in the morning, this would kill the pests in the crops for himself, it stands to reason that Lin Pengfei should thank them well.
But there is one thing about these birds that makes Lin Pengfei very annoyed, that is, they like to spoil their crops, and they actually eat the crops.
The busiest thing these days is "Xiaobai", who was arranged by Lin Pengfei to stay in this field to catch birds, and a few unlucky birds have become food for "Xiaobai".
In addition to inspecting his own fields and watering the fields every day, Lin Pengfei is holding his mobile phone and watching cartoons.
Recently, Lin Pengfei watched anime and became fascinated.
After inspecting the crops in other areas, Lin Pengfei came to the corn field where the soil had been fertilized, and when he came to see it yesterday, the corn had grown quite big, basically each corn had a pound of weight, although it was quite big, but Lin Pengfei still saw that the corn was not yet ripe.
This is very simple to judge the maturity of corn, generally from the external morphological characteristics of corn can be judged, when the stems and leaves of corn begin to wither yellow, the female ear bracts from green to yellow and white, the grain becomes hard and shiny, the corn is ripe, then the corn can be picked.
The corn that was not ripe yesterday is now that Lin Pengfei looks over and is fully ripe, which is the so-called perfect ripeness.
This ripening is very easy to see, with a black layer at the tip of the kernel and easy to peel off the cob.
"This growth rate is really perverted!"
Lin Pengfei muttered to himself.
After all, the appearance of this black layer is a continuous process, and it takes about two weeks for the color to change from gray to brown and then to black, but now it is completed in two days.
Since these corns were all ripe, Lin Pengfei naturally couldn't let them stay on this corn stalk.
went to the fifth uncle's house and asked for a few big baskets, and Lin Pengfei began to break corn in the field.
Don't look at the only one acre of corn land, Lin Pengfei was busy for a whole afternoon before harvesting all the corn in this acre.
Looking at the corn that was almost half of the yard, Lin Pengfei felt a sense of accomplishment.
Didn't the fifth uncle and fifth aunt say that they don't know how to farm?
Look at the corn in this place, this harvest is definitely tens of thousands of catties!
This can definitely be said to break the Guinness World Record, of course, Lin Pengfei will not say it stupidly.
The reason why Lin Pengfei produces so much corn in this acre of land is also a very important reason is that Lin Pengfei planted a multi-ear corn plant can generally produce 3-6 sticks, this kind of corn kernels are very small, sticky, and the yield is very low, but it is very delicious.
However, because of the effect of fertile soil, not only the yield problem has been solved, but the corn is very large, Lin Pengfei took it in his hand and weighed it, each corn weighs almost two catties, to be honest, such a big corn, Lin Pengfei has also seen it for the first time, and he planted it himself.
"I wonder what this corn tastes like?"
Lin Pengfei opened the outer skin of a corn as he spoke, and found that each corn kernel inside was the size of a thumbnail, and each grain was very full, and it felt like water would burst out when he pinched it, and then a natural corn aroma wafted into Lin Pengfei's nose, and suddenly Lin Pengfei had an urge to bite down.
Lin Pengfei couldn't help but put the corn in his mouth and took a bite.
"This ......"
Suddenly, Lin Pengfei's eyes widened.
At this time, the juice contained in the corn exploded in Lin Pengfei's mouth like a bomb, and the slightly sweet corn juice not only had the sweet aroma of the corn itself, but also had a fruit-like fresh taste.
The juice flowed down the esophagus into the stomach pouch and was quickly absorbed by the body, and the body that was a little tired from an afternoon of work was swept away all of a sudden, and the whole person felt particularly energetic.
"This ...... It's a great feeling!"
Coming back to his senses, Lin Pengfei couldn't help but shout happily.
This corn not only tastes good and fried, but also makes people energetic, where is this corn, it's a panacea!
Lin Pengfei couldn't hold back any longer, and took the corn in his hand and ate it with juice.
"It's delicious, it's so delicious!"
"This corn is amazing!"
Lin Pengfei ate corn one after another, and after a while, Lin Pengfei ate more than a dozen corns, only to feel that his stomach was swollen.
After all, this corn weighs nearly two catties, and Lin Pengfei can eat more than a dozen corns alone, which is more than he can eat a pot of rice.
"Rich, rich!"
Lin Pengfei looked at the corn piled up like a hill in the corner of this thatched house, and couldn't help but shine in his eyes, this corn tastes so good, it can also eliminate fatigue and make people refreshed.
This corn can definitely be sold at a high price, more than 10,000 catties of corn, Lin Pengfei believes that he can make his flat wallet bulge again.
Seeing that the sky was dark, Lin Pengfei took five corns to the kitchen, and now Lin Pengfei's stomach is full, he is not going to eat this dinner, and he is going to boil a few corns for supper.
