Chapter 94 Nutrition Needs to Keep Up (2)

Xu Que handed two slightly charred corn cobs to Hou. Hou glanced at them, then borrowed Xu Que's boning knife, scraped off the ashes, and started gnawing on them.

Before long, half of his face and his entire mouth were covered in blackened charred corn.

Xu Que picked up a piece of charcoal that hadn't completely burned to ashes from the ashes, and while Hou was eating corn, he secretly added a ring of mustache to her mouth!

"How is it? How does it taste?"

"It's sweet and quite delicious!" Hou said to him while taking a break from his busy schedule.

When the children of the Black Deer tribe saw Hou eating something they had never seen before, they all ran over from their play area and surrounded her.

"Sister is out of candy today! Besides, you can't eat candy every day! Do you want to try this corn on the cob?" As she spoke, she took a piece of corn from the cob that she hadn't bitten into and gently rubbed off a few kernels with her hand. She didn't give any more, but distributed them one by one to the children who were close to her.

"You can't lean on your sister like this when she's eating, you know? Are you all trying to crush me? Get up now!" Hou said, shaking his body and shrugging his shoulders as he munched on a corncob.

"Here you go! One kernel for everyone! I don't have any more!" Hou picked off the kernels from the corn she was eating, before her mouth even touched them, and distributed them one by one to the children who surrounded her.

The children of the Black Deer tribe put a kernel of corn that Hou had given them into their mouths, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it without tasting anything.

Some of them were unwilling to give up, and they wondered if there was any chance that Hou would give them any more, so they stayed around her and refused to leave.

"Kids! It's all gone! It's really all gone now!" Hou said, spreading his hands and tossing the corncobs aside.

When the children of the Black Deer tribe saw the corn cob that Hou had thrown away, they thought there were still corn kernels on it, so they picked it up from the side and examined it carefully. After many children confirmed that there were no kernels, they finally threw it away.

The children who had thrown away their corncobs looked reluctantly at their hands, checking if there were any uneaten corncobs or corncobs hidden there!

Seeing this, Xu Que directly exchanged enough corn cobs from the system's exchange shop for all the members of the Black Deer Tribe.

As soon as Hou looked up, he saw a pile of unpeeled corn cobs in front of and behind him.

"Wow! So many corns! Are we going to roast them one by one? That would be exhausting!" Hou said to Xu Que, looking at the corns.

"I plan to put them directly into that big pot in our Black Deer tribe and cook them! That's it!"

At this moment, the children of the Black Deer tribe picked up a cob of raw corn, peeled off the green husks, and started eating it raw, regardless of whether it was cooked or not.

As the children took a bite, the juice from the green corn cob flowed down the gaps between the kernels.

"Eat it raw! It tastes better cooked! Be careful not to get a stomachache if you eat it raw!" Hou said, looking at the children of the primitive tribe, who were wolfing down the raw corn in their hands, and gently stroking their heads.

"This is quite sweet even when eaten raw! I think it tastes even better than when it's roasted!"

"Don't eat them! Help me peel the husks off these green corns! I'll cook them later! We can eat them after they're cooked, okay?" Hou said to the children around him.

Upon hearing what Hou said, the children all obediently came to Hou's side or not far from her, and one by one they took the initiative to stretch out their little hands, busily and earnestly helping Hou and Xu Que peel corn cobs.

Hou imitated Xu Que, peeling corn one ear at a time.

The children of the Black Deer tribe imitated the shouting sound and peeled corn one ear at a time.

Xu Que peeled off the husks that wrapped the corn cobs, tore them into strips, and then wove them together to make all sorts of things.

"I'll knit you some hats!"

When the children of the Black Deer tribe saw that Xu Que had finished weaving a hat, they all dropped the corn cobs they were peeling and craned their necks to get closer to him to watch.

"Do you all still want to eat corn? You can't eat it if you don't peel it! Can't you peel it while you're watching? Seriously!" Hou said to the group of children who had gathered around Xu Que.

Upon hearing what Hou said, the children quickly turned around, picked up their half-peeled corncobs, and started peeling them again.

Xu Que gently placed the hat he had woven from corn husks on the head of a small child next to him. It fit perfectly! He looked quite handsome!

On this hat, Xu Que wove the sun, moon, stars, figures, animals, birds, and flowers.

Looking at the finished hat, Hou was filled with envy! She finally couldn't resist and gently took it from the child's head and placed it on her own head to feel it.

"Give him back his hat! I'll make you a bigger one! This one was tailor-made for this kid! Your head is too big for him!" Xu Que said with a smile.

"Hmm! I was just looking!" Hou handed the hat back.

"You old folks, keep an eye on me! Hurry up and peel the corn! Otherwise, you'll be late getting to eat the cooked corn on the cob! If you want to eat it sooner, hurry up!"

After speaking to the children, Xu Que picked up a few pieces of corn husks they had peeled off and started weaving things with his imagination.

He used the same method as before to tear the corn husks into strips, then wove them together in pairs or multiple strips.

Not long after, he finished knitting the large hat he had promised to give her and gave it to her!

Hou took a sun hat made of corn husks, put it on his head, and turned to the children around him, saying, "How are you kids?"

"Good! Good!" The children of the Black Deer tribe didn't really know what was good or bad, and they just kept shouting incoherently!

Hua called upon the elders of the Black Deer tribe to fill the tribe's large pot with water, and the fire in the stove was burning fiercely!

The members of the elders came over to Xu Que, Hou, and the children to see if they had finished peeling the corn, and then waited to take it back and put it in the pot to cook!

"Take these already husked corns over there and let them cook first. Then we'll husk as much as you want, and you can cook as much as we husk!" Hou said, pointing to a pile of husked corn in front of them.

"Okay!" The elders of the Black Deer tribe came to the corn cobs that Hou and Xu Que had peeled, picked them up one by one, threw them into the wooden bucket they were carrying, and carried it to the large iron pot filled with water. Hua took the bucket from them, took out the corn cobs one by one, put them into the pot in an orderly manner, covered the pot and started cooking.
