At this time, Xiaolan walked to the dozens of corn stalks that had withered, tilted her head, and looked at the two extra bulging things on the corn stalks.

Xiaolan jumped up, reached out to the corn cobs, and pulled hard, and the big corn cobs were broken off like this. Xiaolan is a very curious person, and since she is already interested, she will delve into it to the end.

Xiaolan peeled off the corn husk layer by layer, revealing a yellow corn cob, her face was full of doubts, she buckled the most tender one with her fingers, put it in her mouth and bit it, it was a little sweet, but the particles below were very hard and couldn't be eaten.

Liu Yiyi pretended not to know why, and asked, "Sister Xiaolan, what is this?" ”

Xiaolan didn't know, but in Xiaolan's heart, Madame was the most knowledgeable in the entire stone village, "I don't know, let's break a few and go back, and let Madame see if we can eat it." Miss, I'll break these sticks, and you can pick a few of those red ones, which are like pig intestines, and take them back together. ”

Liu Yiyi nodded, "Okay, let's go our separate ways." ”

Xiaolan broke six sticks, and Liu Yiyi picked a dozen chili peppers and went back together.

Back in the courtyard, Sun was not idle, the water in the three buckets became clear, and the precipitated powder was white. Sun poured out the water inside, scooped out the powder with a spoon, and put it on the bamboo.

Recently, the weather was good, and it dried in two days.

Sun was holding a piece of white sweet potato flour and looked at it carefully, this thing can indeed be left for a long time. Sun carefully put these lumps of sweet potato flour in the jar. For the sweet potatoes at home, she is going to make some sweet potato flour, so as not to let it go away and spoil it.

Dried sweet potatoes have a bad taste, but they can be boiled in water, and then some flour can be put to burn into a paste, which is delicious and hungry, which is also a way to preserve. The last way surprised Sun.

The steamed sweet potato fries were half-dried, and Sun tasted a few and felt that the taste was actually good, and the storage time was quite long, so it was very good to be a snack.

Sun's pregnancy is relatively gluttonous, but there are not so many snacks in the village, and this dried sweet potato is just right for the occasion.

While Sun was eating sweet potato fries, Xiaolan was holding a few corn cobs, and Liu Yiyi came in with a dozen big peppers in the front pocket of her clothes.

Xiaolan hurriedly said, "Madam, look, what is this?" ”

Sun put down the sweet potato fries, hurriedly came over to help, and took the corn cob in Xiaolan's arms, "What is this?" ”

Liu Yiyi grabbed the naming right, "Mother, the particles on it are yellow and white, just like the piece of jade that my mother kisses, let's call it corn, right?" ”

Sun was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and nodded, "Okay, the corn sounds good." Where did you get that? ”

Xiaolan and Liu Yiyi glanced at each other, their faces empty.

Madame usually doesn't let them run around, but today she and Miss hide and seek, but they went to the north of the village, the most remote place.

Liu Yiyi knew that Xiaolan wouldn't lie, and she wouldn't think of good words, so she hurriedly preemptively said: "Mother, we chased Xiaohei, and before we knew it, we went to the back of the house behind the weed house, and then we saw these two things that we hadn't usually seen. I looked like food, so I broke some of it. ”

As soon as Sun saw Xiaolan's weak expression, he knew what was going on!

Now that he didn't care about teaching his daughter and Xiaolan a lesson, Sun asked, "Let's go, take me to pick those back." ”

If it's like sweet potatoes, you can plant more next year.

When Liu Heixiong came back and saw that his wife had something, he had to follow him.

Sun just needed someone to move things, so he directly gave the sack to Liu Heixiong, "Let's go, Yiyi and Xiaolan have found good things again, let's pick them all back." ”

When Liu Heixiong heard this, he was shocked, the sweet potatoes during this period of time made the whole house not worry about eating the land, and they could have a stable winter.

If you can find other good things, maybe you can make everyone's life better.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Liu Heixiong said, full of energy.

Xiaolan took Sun and Liu Heixiong to the place where the corn was broken just now, "Madam, the big boss, Miss and I found the corn field here, the corn is all withered and yellow, and it should be fully ripe." The thing that looks like a pig's intestine, the leaves are quite green, and it should not be fully ripe. ”

Liu Yiyi also hurriedly said: "These are all new things, should we keep the seeds?" ”

Sun thought for a while and nodded, "Of course you have to keep the seeds, the owner, indeed, as Xiaolan said, those corn are broken, and those things like pig intestines continue to grow on it, and when the leaves are yellow, let's come and pick them again." Anyway, there are more than a dozen of them at home, so let's taste it first and see if we can eat it. ”

Liu Heixiong has always acted according to Sun's ideas, and this time it is the same, "Do what Madame says." ”

The willow bear broke the corn and threw it directly into the sack. Seventy-six corn cobs, plus six corn cobs at home, for a total of eighty-two.

Back at home, Sun put the corn cobs away and dried them, and it took two days before the corn cobs were rolled into corn kernels.

After weighing, according to the area planted, Sun was very surprised.

Seeing his wife so quickly, Liu Heixiong asked, "Yun Niang, what's wrong?" ”

Sun Shi looked up eagerly, "Boss, this thing called corn, I have calculated, the yield per mu can reach thousands of catties!" Oh, my God! If we can really eat it, then we don't have to starve at all this time! ”

"Huh?" Liu Heixiong was stunned, but he still understood the concept of thousands of catties, the yield of wheat per mu planted by them was only more than 100 catties, and in some places, it had not yet been reached.

There is no flat land on the mountain, they are looking for some slightly flat places as terraces, and the area is not easy to calculate, so they can only estimate it. In short, the yield is not high!

If there is a yield of thousands of catties, then one mu is equivalent to the yield of five acres of wheat.

"Then let's see if this thing can be eaten?" Liu Heixiong urged, "What should you say!" ”

Sun washed the corn in water and exposed it to the sun.

After the corn is dried again, a pot is put into a pot, and then ground into corn flour using the stone mill at home.

Liu Heixiong said directly: "Yun Niang, don't eat this thing, I'll eat it first to see if it's poisonous!" ”

When Sun heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and glared at Liu Heixiong, "You, you're stupid!" Since I don't know if it's poisonous or not, how can I use people to try it? Well, I'll use some of the corn flour here to feed the pigs later. If the pig is okay, then the person can eat it, just like we did before we tested the sweet potato! ”

Liu Heixiong looked at Sun's pair of glaring at him, Sun's good-looking eyes flowed, his heart fluttered for a while, and his liver was pounding.
