Chapter 255: Strategic Value
But being dragged over by Yu Yao, Yu's mother reached out perfunctorily and pinched it, but found that this corn was really edible! And it is not smaller than the normal corn, or even bigger, I was surprised to break a few plates, planning to cook and eat it at noon, but when I lowered my head to fill the firewood in the stove, Yu's mother suddenly stopped.
Straighten up, leaning on the stove and looking at the basket of full corn on the cob.
Can it be eaten? Will it still be the same as regular corn after the mutation?
Yu's mother looked at the corn on the stove, but she didn't stretch out her hand, and Yu Yao, who was sent to carry water, came back and saw Yu's mother looking at the stove in a daze.
What's wrong? Yu Yao waved his hand in front of Yu's mother's eyes, peeled off the yellow skin of the corn, broke it twice, threw away the skin, and the corn cob was thrown into the pot.
After adding water naturally, Yu's mother reacted, "What are you doing?" ”
Yu Yao raised his head and threw the corn cob back: "Cook corn!" "What else could you do?
The tone of voice naturally changed the sentence in Yu's mother's mouth that I don't know if I can eat it, "If you want to wash it after breaking, how dirty is this!" There was no fire at the bottom of the stove, so Yu's mother directly reached out and fished out the corn, and put it in the bucket brought by Yu Yao to scrub it all the way, as if she wanted to rub off all the corn kernels on it.
Yu Yao, who hadn't eaten corn for a year, was distressed, and almost rushed up to grab it and wash it himself.
Then when the corn was served, Yu's mother looked at Yu Yao with an uncomfortable face, gnawing on the corn without raising her head. Yu's father had a good appetite, but Yu's mother's stomach began to feel uncomfortable.
The corn in the yard of the entire chicken farm was picked and loaded into five baskets, they ate it for three days, and directly solved one basket, and the other four baskets were quickly dried on the roof by Yu's mother, and said to Yu Yao with a firm face that if it is not dried again, it will become moldy.
Yu Yao: You can stuff it into your stomach before it gets moldy.
Originally, everyone thought that this corn could be pulled out and replanted after it had a cob, but before they could free up their hands to clear it, they saw that the corn stalk in the field began to pull and spit out ears again.
The answer is yes, it took only five days to break the first round of corn, and the second round of corn cobs grew, and the corn stalks quickly crossed the top of Yuyao's head and grew under the eaves.
Everyone is happy and sad, happy because this corn can bear fruit twice after mutation, and sad because this corn stalk will be exposed to the wall no matter how long it is.
If you don't pinch off the tender tips on the head, it is estimated that the corn stalk will be exposed to the wall in a few days.
Although there are few people around the chicken farm, it is not nothing, and it is really exposed, and it will not take two days for someone to find the door.
But after pinching off the sprouts on the top, will the corn bear the cob again? After thinking about food and safety for a long time, Grandpa Yu still decided to pinch off the shoots on his head.
Although the food is good, compared with life, it still has to take a step back.
Although they were very reluctant, since they had already decided, the next day, they collectively went out and pinched off the shoots on the top of the corn one by one.
After pinching off the buds on the top, the corn did not grow, but the corn cob produced by the spit was still filling and getting bigger, and everyone was very happy and hoped that it could bear more fruit.
But just when they thought that the corn stalk had been pinched and the buds could not grow, when it produced a second round of corn cobs, it was only half a night, and when they got up the next morning, Yuyao saw that the corn stalks in the yard had grown over the wall overnight, and the shoots that had been pinched off grew again, swaying gently with a little green in the breeze.
This doesn't look like corn anymore, like a row of saplings, but no matter what it looks like, Yuyao has to feel shouting.
Everyone was startled when they saw the corn in the yard, and they were instinctively happy when they saw the ears it spit out again, but then they looked at its buds that were against the top of the wall, and their joy turned into surprise, and they didn't have time to think too much, so they hurriedly started to pinch the sprouts on the top of the corn.
The yard is too big, there are a lot of corn seeds, and the corn stalk is already more than two meters tall, and they can't finish it for a while.
And as the sun outcropped, the corn stalk grew again at a speed visible to the naked eye, whether it was pinched off the top buds or not, all the corn stalks were growing like crazy, Grandpa Yu thought about it again and again, and finally shouted in pain and stepped on it.
Corn grows fast and can be replanted later, and the aim now is to keep the wheat and sweet potatoes in the field first.
Thinking about this, Grandpa Yu jumped up and stepped on it.
Each person was given a slice, and a field of corn was quickly trampled on. Among them, a few trees near the east corner of the yard, because of their location, they can still shine in the sun even if they are trampled down, and when Fang Chen turned his head to step on other corns, when he turned his head again, he found that a few corn stalks that had been stepped on stood up slowly.
Fang Chen was a little amazed at the vitality of this mutated corn.
He went over and stepped on it again, but the rhizome was broken, and after shining on the sun for a while, it stood up tremblingly again, Fang Chen looked down at the rhizome that it had just stepped on, and found that in the blink of an eye, it had already connected the two with fiber filaments poking out of the corn stalk.
The filaments grew and joined at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a few moments, the corn stalk was literally back on its feet.
Fang Chen couldn't accurately judge the scientific value of this corn stalk, but he could be sure that if this corn was sent to the research institute, the people inside would definitely go crazy about it.
I don't know how this corn seed was so easily distributed to them as a redemption reward, compared to the solar panel material, the strategic significance of this corn is obviously higher.
But now, no matter how strategic it is, they can only trample them on their stomachs.
The good news is that the vitality of this corn is really strong against the sky, even if the rhizome is out of the soil, as long as there is sun and water, it can grow even if it can't stand up, and it can grow close to the ground, and the third round of corn matures quickly, and the bad news is that their corn stalks seem to be seen.
In the past few days, there have been significantly more people coming to hang around the chicken farm.
And they are also ready, the big deal is to fight, they are just secretly anxious, anxious that sweet potatoes and wheat can ripen quickly.
They also worked in two shifts, for fear that someone would climb the wall at night, so they stayed up for a week, their eyes were dark, and there was no movement around.
Yu Yao: Is this scared off by both male and female?
Chen Lin: ......
What they didn't know was that the group of people around them were not attracted by the corn in the yard at all, but by briquettes and beans.
Because of the old grudge against that chicken leg, the two little ones have to run out for a walk every day, and they are targeted every day, and they are not one or two.
