Chapter 105: The Corn Problem

At the head of the field of Xiaohu's cousin Wang Shoushu's house, his woman scolded Wang Shoushu higher than the other.

In the field next to him, the second daughter-in-law of Grandpa's family, seeing that they had been arguing for a while and had not stopped, went over to persuade: "Shoushu family, what is it that makes you quarrel until now?" If there is anything that the couple can't talk about well, they have to scream and scold their own men! ”

Wang Shoushu was aggrieved, and shouted in a hard voice: "Auntie! It's not that I'm mean to my man, it's that he's really too much.

All day long, he said that my woman was ignorant, and I never cared about what he said. But this kind of food matter, how can I not listen to persuasion because I am a woman.

That year, you planted rice in the same way as your family, and I watched the seedlings grow tall and strong, which must be better than our family's planting, so I told him to plant late rice with your family. He didn't listen, saying that my woman's family knows something, and I have to see your family's harvest, and I regret it there. Needless to say, at least my family still had a harvest at that time. But now"

As she spoke, the woman who was guarding Wang Shoushu began to cry, and while crying, she took the corn cob and showed it to the second daughter-in-law of Grandpa's family: "Auntie! You see, what is this? When your family had just planted seedlings, I asked him to follow and give my seedlings to the room, but he listened and did it.

And then I heard that you had broken all the ears and kept only one. Although I didn't understand, it must have made sense for you to do that, so I told him that we would do the same as your family, but he didn't listen to me, and he didn't let me follow me, saying that the more ears there are, the higher the harvest.

But what do you look like? One by one like goosebumps on it, where is there any harvest here? ”

The second daughter-in-law of the grandfather's family looked at the ears of corn over and over again. I really can't see anything.

Say it's not a grain hammer, it looks the same, the pole or something is the same as your own, say it is! But why isn't it a golden row of rice grains? Instead, it is a white shriveled layer of skin, which is peeled on the surface.

The second daughter-in-law of Grandpa's family asked suspiciously: "Is it time not yet to come?" ”

Wang Shoushujia shook his head: "Impossible!" When your family started to cook tender sticks to eat, my grandson wanted to eat them, so I picked up a few. That's what it looks like. I thought the same thing you did. But now the tender sticks in your house are getting old. But my family is still like this. ”

"Then you give me this, and I'll take it back to show the people of the Northland, they have been growing this for a long time. What should you know? ”

Everyone took the corn cob, passed it around, and no one could say what was going on, and then it passed to Erya.

Wang Shoushu and his wife took Erya to the cornfield of Wang Shoushutang's uncle's house. This is followed by a long list.

Erya grabbed a pole and broke off several corn cobs. Then peel them all open and take a look. took a decent one and handed it to his aunt, and said, "Auntie, you don't have to panic, you can take a look." This one looks good! I guess one reason is that you have too much fertilizer in the early stage, so you have more ears. In the later stage, the fertilizer could not keep up, and these ears did not have nutrients to fill the grain.

The second reason. I've also heard from people who often grow corn that if there is more than one ear on a pole, only one cob will grow well, and the others will not work!

The third reason is that your seed may be different from ours, I heard that there is more corn that bears more ears, but the yield is low, but there is one point, it is better than other varieties. ”

Everyone else listened and looked at each other, really didn't know that there were so many sermons on a grain hammer. Those people from the Beidi Wang family were also stunned when they heard it, how could this little tiger daughter-in-law know more than them? This corn is not their staple food, how did she know so much?

However, when Wang Shoushu's family saw that a pole and a stick could be harvested, their hearts were also steady. He was busy apologizing to everyone: "It's also my fault, I am reluctant to pick up the wax grain hammer on a pole, but it turns out that these are all not grown, and everyone is tired!" ”

An uncle in the north waved his hand again and again, "Don't say this, we also benefited today, if it weren't for what this nephew and daughter-in-law said, we would all have to plant crops in a daze!"

Although this corn is the main grain of our country, it has never reached the high harvest as the legend once said. We didn't care about it all along, thinking it was a miscommunication, but now it seems that it is not, it is a problem with our own planting! ”

Several other men from the Northland also nodded, "Yes! Yes! We have eaten your corn cobs these days, which is much more than ours, and they are full, which is really a long insight! ”

"I take care of the momentum of your corn, and you can really receive thousands of catties per acre of land."

I don't dare to say much about this Erya, because the corn yield in later generations is also different according to various factors such as region, soil quality, fertilizer, and variety, and there are high and low. The low ones are only a few hundred catties, and the high ones are said to be more than 2,000 catties.

Everyone talked and laughed and went back to the village, and those who should build roads still went to repair roads, and those who should go to the fields still went to work in the fields.

Er Ya asked for a few tender corn cobs from his grandfather's house and brought them back, everyone is a little tired of eating boiled corn, and Er Ya plans to make a new corn to eat today.

She cleaned up the small grinding disc at home, took a small basin and put it at the mouth of the grinding pan, put the faded corn particles into the grinding disc to grind into corn milk, and then stirred the eggs in it.

The two boys scurried around behind, and asked Erya, "Mother!" Mother! What do you want to do to eat more and more for Xiaoyue? ”

"Mother! Hurry up, hurry up! Super Super is hungry! ”

Er Ya was on the buttocks of the two, and one of them gave a slap, and scolded with a smile in his mouth: "Two delicious essences!" Just had breakfast and got hungry? All of them are going to do things while blocking their mother! ”

The nurse hurriedly stepped forward to take Wen Yue away, and asked Erya: "Boss, what are you going to do?" ”

Erya sighed: "Hey! I want to make corn and egg stickers, but unfortunately I don't have a pan, so I can only use my own wok to make it slowly! ”

"Then I'll light a fire for you!" The nurse hugged Wen Yue and lit the fire in front of the pot hole and burned the pot!

Erya wiped the pot with oil and explained to the nurse: "Auntie." Don't make the fire too big, just burn the fire at the bottom of the pot, don't burn the pot full! ”

"Hey!"

Er Ya scooped three times with a spoon, made three cakes and stuck them on the bottom of the pot, sprinkled a little water, covered the pot, and baked it over low heat!

Wait until you smell the burnt smell. Then they put out the fire. It took a few more minutes to lift the lid. A peculiar fragrance of corn wafted out, and the two boys who were on the side of the pot stove early. This time the saliva was really dripping.

Erya was busy taking the spatula, picking up the tortillas, and filling one in a small saucer for the nurse to hold. Take the two boys to the hall to eat. The little ones are like puppies, sniffing the saucer. Obediently followed to the hall.

Er Ya put one pot on the other and one on the other, and began to paste the second pot. A small pot of egg and corn syrup was pasted, and a small bamboo basket was made.

Xiaolong came back from the school for lunch, and as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he smelled the fragrance of corn. couldn't help but wail: "Sister-in-law! Are you still eating corn on the cob today? I'm scared, I don't want to eat. Sister-in-law, make me rice! ”

Erya heard Xiaolong's wail in the kitchen. Ignore him and clear the scum at the bottom of the pot. After rinsing with water, I was busy copying two dishes.

Xiaolong, who entered the hall, saw Wen Chao eating a small golden cake with more taste, snatched the small half of Wen Chao's hand and stuffed it into his mouth. Wen Chao blinked, looked at the little uncle, and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

Xiaolong nodded while swallowing the cake, and let out an indistinct sound: "Woo! Delicious! ”

"My mother has done a lot, I'll ask my mother for it!" Er Ya didn't let the two boys hold up too much, and every time they had to wail for a long time, Er Ya would give one. This time, Wen Chao wanted to ask for more in the name of his little uncle, so he ran to the kitchen in a hurry.

"Mother! Uncle wants to eat bread! Many, much more! ”

Erya looked at him, ignored him, and continued to burn the fire in the stove, busy stir-frying. Wen Chao didn't know what the situation was, so he had to run back to the hall again, "Uncle! Mother doesn't give! "I'm going to cry when I say that!

Xiaolong glared and shouted in a low voice, "Don't cry! I'm going to go myself! ”

Xiaolong rushed to the kitchen, "Sister-in-law! That cake is delicious, I want to eat it! ”

Erya replied to him angrily: "Wait for your brother to come back and eat together, what's the hurry?" Didn't you just say you don't eat corn, this one is made of corn! ”

Xiaolong scratched his cheeks and defended: "I said that I didn't eat that stick, and I didn't say I wouldn't eat this cake!" ”

Er Ya took out a plate that was not slippery, filled a plate, about seven or eight corn tortillas, and handed it to Xiaolong: "Send this over to grandpa to eat, send it back, your brother should come back for dinner." ”

"Got it!" The little dragon took the plate and ran.

After eating, Erya had just cleaned up the kitchen, and the eldest grandmother and the third aunt came over to learn how to make the egg corn tortilla.

At night, Xiaohu, who was busy repairing roads for a day, was not in a hurry to sleep after taking a bath, but chatted with his daughter-in-law: "Daughter-in-law! Uncle Chen, why haven't they come here yet? ”

"They are far away, I heard that the state capital that is still south of us seems to be called Yichun! Even if you come all the way non-stop, it will take at least two or three days. They've got to rest the night! So, I think it will take at least four or five days to arrive! ”

"That's right! Daughter-in-law! What about those wild horses in our house? There were no dealers in the field during that time, and with them running, they haven't run for months now, and I'm afraid I'll shut them down. "Xiaohu has been anxious about those wild horses, eating well every day, there is no place for them to run, only a few months, they have grown fat, where is there still the previous handsome!

Erya thought for a while, "Otherwise, don't go with the road repair, the road repair money is from my family, it doesn't matter if you can't come out manually, you take those horses to the mountains every day, let them run blindly by themselves, as long as they can bring it back at night." ”

Xiaohu hugged Erya's head excitedly, learning from Erya's appearance, "Horn! He kissed Erya's lips and said hurriedly: "My daughter-in-law is so smart, why didn't I think of it!" How many times have I run back and forth to the mountains! (To be continued)
