Xiao Fu thought Su Tang was for him to eat, and he was very excited.

"Thank you, sister!"

He opened his mouth and stuffed the corn cob into it.

With a tearing sound, a large bite of the bract was bitten off.

Xiao Fu chewed with great anticipation, only to find a strange, astringent taste in his mouth.

"Sister, this fruit tastes strange, is it not ripe yet?" he asked, his words muffled as he chewed.

Su Tang raised her hand, but before she could stop him, her words were abruptly cut off.

That kid's got fast hands...

She rubbed her forehead, her tone helpless:

"Xiao Fu, this fruit isn't eaten like that; you have to peel off the outer husk."

As Su Tang explained, she picked up an ear of corn, removed the husk, and revealed the plump, golden kernels inside.

Xiao Fu froze, and stopped chewing.

Once they realized what was happening, they quickly spat out the tough bud leaves from their mouths.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

He said, "Why does it taste so bad!"

"Sister, why didn't you say so sooner..." Xiao Fu pouted and muttered softly.

Su Tang's lips twitched. You didn't even give me a chance to speak!

Following her example, Xiao Fu peeled off the remaining husks, tore off the corn silk, and took a bite of a corn kernel.

Each juicy corn kernel bursts open at the tip of your teeth, releasing sweet juice into your mouth.

The novel taste made Xiao Fu's pupils dilate slightly, and his pointed ears stood up.

The taste is a bit strange, yet it also seems kind of delicious.

Not sure? Let me try another bite...
