There were a lot of brothers who rewarded yesterday, including the Blood Beast Emperor, the honest man 888 and Zhou Xiaobao, thank you from the mountain village!

When leaving, Chu Jiaqiang caught a glimpse of several large baskets of corn cobs in the corner of the village chief's house, which were obviously pulled today.

Corn is also known as maize, maize, cob, bud rice, bud grain, jade ling, jade wheat, six grains, reed millet and pearl rice, etc., belonging to the genus Poaceae maize. The sown area of maize in the world ranks third after wheat and rice. In the country, the sown area of corn is large and widely distributed, which is in the north and southwest. One of the main foods for the people of the mountainous and other wadi areas.

Its ripening period varies according to different regions. Those arid areas in the northwest are harvested once a year, and the plains such as North China and Northeast China are generally harvested twice a year, while some areas in the south are harvested three times a year, so to speak, this grain is available all year round. Durum corn is commonly planted in Northeast China, and tint corn suitable for milling is mostly planted in North China, and the quality is inferior to that of durum corn.

The growth of corn is also very distinctive, its roots are fibrous roots, in addition to radicles, but also from the stem nodes to grow node roots: from the underground node roots grow called underground node roots, generally 4~7 layers; The nodal roots that grow from the above-ground stem nodes are also called support roots and aerial roots, and are generally 2-3 layers. The plant is 1-4.5 meters tall and the stalk is cylindrical. The whole plant generally has 15-22 leaves, the leaf body is wide and long, and the leaf margin is often wavy. The flowers are unisexual, monoecious. The male grows at the tip of the plant and is panicles; The female flower grows in the leaf axils in the middle of the plant and is a fleshy spike. Male spikes generally bloom 3-5 days earlier than female flowers.

Corn is a good health product in coarse grains, and eating corn is quite beneficial to human health.

In Chujiazhai, everyone is also planted in a large area, and the varieties are also very complete. This is also a typical small-scale farmer's mentality, not daring to grow a single crop, a variety of things, there is always no big mistake. This variety is not well harvested, at least there is a good harvest, and it will not be wasted months of hard work due to a sudden reduction in the harvest of a certain variety.

Some people may say that farmers plough the land every year and will not recognize which variety can be harvested? In fact, every variety of agricultural products can be harvested under normal circumstances, but it is often affected by many factors such as weather and insect pests, resulting in a decrease in harvest. Therefore, the farmer's approach is not unreasonable. Although you may not be able to make a lot of money, you will not lose money. What they are most afraid of is to do the same alone, and if they are unlucky, they will lose money.

Of course, although there are many varieties, there are also primary and secondary, according to the experience of previous years, which variety has high yield, there must be a variety. In Chujiazhai, corn has three uses. First, eat it yourself, which is often the glutinous rice variety of white rice, and the sweet bun of yellow rice. These two tastes are the best, but the lowest yield. The second is milling, which is generally given to livestock. The third is for sale, but it is very cheap, and it is only four or five cents a pound.

"Grandpa the village chief, this year's corn harvest is good!" Chu Jiaqiang looked over, and all the inside were round buds.

The old village chief showed a hint of joy on his face: "It's okay, this year's harvest is generally good." However, if the harvest is good, it often means that the price is low. In the end, the old village chief said with a hint of melancholy.

"What is the purchase price in the past two years?" Chu Jiaqiang couldn't help asking, he had been outside for a few years, and he didn't know much about the situation in the village. At the price of a few years ago, it is indeed a bit infiltrating. When Chu Jiaqiang learned that the purchase price of corn outside was two or three times that of his own village, he was quite angry, and those people were obviously bullying farmers and not understanding the market!

"Last year's corn harvest was sluggish, with six cents and a pound, and generally three or four cents." The old village chief took two puffs of his cigarette.

Chu Jiaqiang sighed, and sure enough, he was still trapped.

Seeing Chu Jiaqiang shaking his head, Chu Shengyi couldn't help asking, "What?" What's wrong? ”

Seeing that the old village chief also looked over, Chu Jiaqiang said: "Let everyone stop selling in the future, do you know how much the price of corn is outside?" ”

"How much?" The old village chief immediately stared at Chu Jiaqiang and asked.

"Outside can generally be sold for about a pound for a dollar, and it is obviously half of the trap." Chu Jiaqiang said helplessly.

Chu Shengyi and the old village chief were a little short of breath, and their faces changed back and forth. In the middle of the sound, the old village chief's beard blew up: "This god is killed, and he is miserable enough." I said so! Why don't you let us pull it to other places, he is so kind to go into the village every year to buy. The next time you see him, see if I don't cut him? ”

It's no wonder that the old village chief is so angry, every year almost every household in Chujiazhai has thousands of catties of corn, and thousands of catties more, so that there is no income of thousands every year.

Chu Jiaqiang waved his hand and said: "Forget about the past, it's useless for you to be angry, after all, the original business was your willingness, and I can't complain about others, I can only say that my information is backward, and we will learn a lesson." ”

After a long time, the old village chief and Chu Shengyi calmed down. Although his face was still a little ugly, he knew that Chu Jiaqiang was right, you were willing to do it at the beginning, and there was no forced transaction, so I couldn't help anyone.

"Hmmm! Now that you know this, you will naturally not be stupid anymore. From now on, the corn in the village will not be sold by those guys. By the way, Jiaqiang, can you contact outside buyers? The old village chief finally asked.

"It's not difficult, wrap it on me, everyone just dry the harvested corn, and I'll contact the door when the time comes." If it doesn't work, we'll pull it out, and at most we'll have to pay some more for shipping. "This matter is just a gesture, a phone call, Chu Jiaqiang naturally will not shirk it.

"That's good, that's good!" The old village chief's heart was still dripping blood.

"By the way, you have sweet buds and white glutinous seeds, right?" Chu Jiaqiang suddenly wanted to nibble on a few corns, but he hadn't tasted them for a long time. Outside, it is also sold on the street, a piece of five to two pieces of a bud, quite expensive, and the taste is not as good as home-grown.

"Yes! The vegetable patch next to the house is what you eat, do you want it? Xiaoyi, go get some back. The old village chief immediately ordered his son to go and get corn.

"Haha! Thanks! Let's go together! Chu Jiaqiang also followed.

The old village chief waved his hand, and some corn on the cob was just that. Even in normal times, he will not be stingy, not to mention that Chu Jiaqiang has not only given so much effort to the village before, but also donated 10,000 yuan to repair the road just now, not to mention, he also solved the matter of corn being pitted.

"Hey! Ay! Uncle Shengyi, don't pull it, that's enough! Can you eat so much? Chu Jiaqiang looked at the half-snakeskin bag, and couldn't help but quickly let Chu Shengyi's subordinates show mercy.

"Huh! That's good, but it's not much, you have so many people there. Chu Shengyi said with a smile.

Carrying most of the snakeskin bags of corn on the cob, Chu Jiaqiang went straight to the kitchen. The people in this room go to bed relatively late, unlike the villagers in the village, so now they can cook corn on the cob, and everyone can still nibble on a few sticks.

"What is this?" Xu Xiu couldn't help but ask suspiciously, and actually went straight to the kitchen with half a bag of things.

"Corn, huh!"

Many people present applauded loudly, especially Xiao Lori was very happy, and she also helped with small hands and feet, and participated in the whole process, looking at the pot with her eyes, which made people cry and laugh. Even Wan Lao and a few old people also miss the scene of gnawing corn in the past.

After half an hour, the thick aroma of corn wafted out, which immediately aroused everyone's appetite.

"It's still a rural corn authentic, this taste is really pure, good!" Wan Guoliang also praised.

In the end, everyone nibbled on two sticks, because they had eaten dinner earlier, and they were very full one by one. Seeing that little Lori's little belly was bulging, she actually wanted to get it, and Mrs. Wan immediately grabbed her and comforted her to eat again tomorrow.
