Chapter 117: Heartfelt Hope

"Xiaoxiao, is that okay?" Bernie looked into the pot.

"Hmm. Just cook it and you're good to go. After drying, it can also be beaten into cornmeal, which is good for making cakes and porridge. Zhong Xuyao's tone paused: "By the way, Yixiu, how is the wasteland reclamation?" ”

There had been a group of orcs working on the land before, and she didn't seem to have paid attention to it for a few days.

"They're doing the ditches you said right now, and the ponds. It will be done in about two days. "Ixiu

"Oh. When that's ready, we'll try to plant the corn in the field. "Zhong Xuyao

"Okay, you can arrange it." Yi Xiu laughed.

"I don't have much confidence in myself." Zhong Xuyao shrugged.

"It doesn't matter if you can't grow it. We usually stay in the tribe and don't have much to do except fight or wash animal skins. Cultivating the land before can exercise our physical fitness. "Ixiu

"It's different." Zhong Xuyao chuckled.

"It doesn't matter if you don't live or not. You don't have to be burdened. Didn't we have corn to eat before? "Bernie

"Yes." Zhong Xuyao

The corn in the stone pot already gave off some fragrance.

The sweet smell made other people's eyes sweep over from time to time.

"It smells so good. Tiny, I've never smelled anything like this. It smells so good. "Bernie

"Wait, it should be almost ready." Zhong Xuyao said with a smile.

Bernie swallowed his saliva, not only her, but even Nikita on the side looked greedy.

Ellen put down the sweater in her hand, "Is this corn?" It's so fragrant. ”

"This is in our place, and it can be regarded as staple food." Zhong Xuyao

"Staple food?" Bernie

"Just as you eat meat every day. We usually have wheat, rice, potatoes, corn and so on. ”

"Don't you eat meat?" Bernie

"Eat, but the meat is the same as you eat the fruit. Every day, but not too much. Zhong Xuyao glanced at the stone pot, "It's almost." It's ready to be fished out. ”

Yi Xiu hurriedly moved and scooped the corn into a bamboo bowl.

"One for each person, come and try it. Ixiu, the other two were sent to Wu Lao and his uncle. After Zhong Xuyao finished speaking, he directly pulled a corn leaf and lifted it. It's very hot, but I'm reluctant to let go.

"Xiaoxiao, you can just eat." Ishi

"We don't need to." Bout

"Who said that, if you want to promote, you also need to know the taste." Zhong Xuyao

Several orcs looked at each other, and had no choice but to take the corn from the bamboo tube and eat it. Yi Xiu took the corn and flew towards the witch's house.

He went fast and came back quickly. In less than two minutes, it flew back again.

The sweetness of the corn made Zhong Xuyao smile and bend his eyes, before, because of the gold coins, she had always been reluctant to eat them, and this bite went on, but they were all gold coins. Now, it's finally ready to eat.

"It's delicious." Bernie, like a hamster, nibbles corn quickly.

"Eat slowly, no one will rob you." Zhong Xuyao said with a smile.

"This tastes really good, Xiaoxiao, how long can the corn last?" Ishi

"If you dry it, it's okay for a year or two." Zhong Xuyao said casually: "Generally speaking, staple food can be stored for a long time. ”

The movements of the others all stopped, and they all looked at Zhong Xuyao in a daze.

The corners of Zhong Xuyao's mouth twitched, "You can't accept this ability." A lot of food can be kept for a long time. Especially with the Najie Rune. ”

After a long time, Yi Xiu came back to his senses: "Xiaoxiao, this should belong to a kind of fruit, isn't it normal to spoil in a few days?" ”

"So it's sun-dried. Fresh fruits, except for those that are all water, can be eaten for a longer time as long as they are dried. Zhong Xuyao pointed to the corn hanging on the bamboo pole.

"Well, I'm not going to eat it. Save it for the winter. "Bernie

Zhong Xuyao suddenly felt like he couldn't cry or laugh, "It's all burned, it's useless to dry it again." ”

"Okay." Bernie lowered his head and ate the corn slowly, no longer munching on it as before, but counting it one by one.

Zhong Xuyao was a little speechless, but he also understood her feelings. After knowing the characteristics of corn, she was afraid that she would not plan to cook it again.

Bout cut off half of the corn and left it for Bernie to eat.

"Tiny, when are we going to start planting?" Millie asked nervously.

"Wait for the orcs to clear their land. These corns also need to be peeled off one by one. Zhong Xuyao now sincerely hopes that the seeds will not degrade.

"Let's start peeling now." Bernie

"This." Zhong Xuyao hesitated for a moment, "Okay then, but it doesn't seem to be easy to peel fresh." Be especially careful. ”

She had planned to wait for the corn to dry up, and then grind the two together. However, seeing that they are in such a hurry, it is estimated that they will not be able to wait for that time.

At that moment, Bernie didn't eat the corn anymore, just clapped his hands, and was about to run to the corn.

"I'll go. Bernie, you sit. Bout pressed Bernie directly into the chair.

"Don't worry, Bernie. Let's eat the corn first. Don't waste it. Zhong Xuyao said with a smile: "You have just learned to eat one grain at a time, it seems that it will be easy to peel corn later." ”

"Is it okay to peel off one grain at a time?" Bernie asked with some uncertainty as he reached out and pulled off a small grain of corn.

"Well, that's right." Zhong Xuyao

The people present saw that it was indeed not difficult, and they all put their minds at ease, and when they ate corn, they also learned from Bernie's example, eating them one by one, and used them to practice their hands by the way.

Bout put ten corns on the bamboo sieve and walked directly over with the bamboo sieve.

Ten people gathered in a circle and began to peel the corn carefully, the fresh corn was very tender, even if Zhong Xuyao specially let it go, it was not possible to use it arbitrarily. A few orcs, in particular, often crushed the corn.

Zhong Xuyao carefully peeled the corn, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Yixiu, I want a little soil, a few bamboo slips, and stones for making stone pots." She put down the corn and gestured to Ishu the size of the bamboo tube.

"Good. I'll go right away. Ishu put down the bamboo tube and flew home.

"Xiaoxiao, what do you want these things for?" Bernie

"Didn't I leave the small intestine behind? I'm going to stuff it into sausages tomorrow. Need to make some special tools for enemas to come out. "Zhong Xuyao

"That thing stinks, and I don't know why you have to eat it." Bernie

"When it's done, it doesn't stink. And it's very fragrant. "Zhong Xuyao

"I don't understand." Bernie

"You're stupid, there's something you can't understand, Flatwater Beast...... The fish is so smelly, after a little treatment, it is not also delicious. "Nikita

Bernie thought about it, she had always hated eating fish, but now she liked it. Basically every two days, she swallowed lightly, "Xiaoxiao, is this better than fish?" ”

"I can't say that well. Everyone's tastes are different. ”

"Uh-oh." Bernie

Soon, Ixiu flew back with what she wanted. Because she usually does weird things. Wood, bamboo, and other things are always available at home.
