It turned out that Old Qin saw the specialness of the cornfield in front of him.
Along the way, I saw a lot of cornfields. Because I saw so many, I was scared by the cornfield in front of me.
If it weren't for the fact that this piece of land was at the innermost part and was part of the family compound, the scene that Old Qin saw alone would have been enough to scare people.
"Girl, tell me the truth, where are you from? Why are the things you grow so exaggerated?"
Not to mention the fruits and vegetables in the yard that are growing like crazy, just take the corn, which is a grain, why is it growing so crazy?
There are usually only one or two corn cobs, which is normal, but there are so many corn cobs in the cornfield in front of me that it’s a bit scary.
There are four or five ears of corn on each corn stalk.
The key is that these corn cobs are not shriveled, but each one is very plump. Open a corn cob and you will see the plump corn kernels on it, which is a delight to look at.
Old Qin didn't hesitate and just broke off one, peeled off the corn husk, and took a bite.
Fresh corn has a unique sweetness, but today's corn kernels are not sweet enough.
“So sweet!”
Old Qin's eyes lit up.
This was the first time he had eaten such delicious fresh corn.
Tang Qiyue reminded him: "Old Qin, if you like to eat it, then we can cook it when we get back. Your stomach may not be able to handle eating raw corn!"
She meant well, but Old Qin refused to admit his age: "What's wrong? Why can't I bear it? During the famine, I ate everything."
However, he did not insist on continuing to chew it. Instead, he held the corn in his hand and looked at Tang Qiyue with burning eyes.
Tang Qiuyue didn't need him to urge her. She put the basket she brought on the ground, went into the cornfield and started picking corn.
Thinking that I also wanted to give some to Tang's mother, Tang Xiuyuan, to try, I decided to make some more.
Fortunately, the corn yield was high, so Tang Qiuyue cut down a few corn stalks and broke off the corn cobs on them.
Old Qin followed behind and pulled out a corn stalk, tore off all the leaves on it, broke it in two, and began to tear off the outer skin with his teeth. Fresh corn stalks are also sweet.
He ate happily, and Tang Qiyue didn't say anything. She just picked one up and started chewing it.
Her corn stalk is comparable to sugarcane and has a high sugar content.
The two did not stay in the field for long. Old Qin helped carry the corn stalks, and Tang Qiyue carried the corn ears.
When the two returned home, Tang Qiuyue first peeled off the corn husks, leaving only a thin layer and threw it into the pot. She added a lot of water and then lit the fire to start cooking the corn.
Old Qin was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, chewing corn stalks while discussing with Tang Qiyue the fruits and vegetables in her yard.
"I'm telling you, the things you have here are too abnormal. Aren't you afraid of being noticed by others?"
Tang Qiuyue did not continue to eat corn stalks. Although they were sweet, she still preferred to eat melons.
She picked a particularly soft melon and threw the flesh inside to the chickens and ducks, and then she ate the outer part of the melon.
"Isn't it you who are here?"
Tang Qiyue said it frankly.
Old Qin was stunned, then burst into laughter.
He asked why Zhan Zeye agreed to let him come to the island, it was to cover up for Tang Qiyue.
"I have no problem covering for you, but you have to give me something delicious!"
Old Qin didn't suffer any loss either.
If he couldn't see that something was wrong with Tang Qiyue, he would be a real fool.
"good!"
The two reached a preliminary agreement and spent the rest of the time not wasting time on it.
Fresh corn does not need to be cooked for too long. Just boil the water for ten minutes and all the corn will be cooked.
Tang Qiuyue rinsed her mouth, fished out a hot corn, peeled off the outer shell, blew off the hot steam on it and took a bite.
You know what, it tastes really good.
Old Qin didn't need Tang Qiyue to be polite. He pulled out a fresh corn and started eating it.
One corn can make two people 70% full.
Old Qin directly took out five or six corns from the basket, held them in his hand and said, "I'll show them to those guys at the research institute!"
Tang Qiyue grabbed his basket and said, "Please bring some fresh food to Tang Xiuyuan and Bai Xu. I won't go over!"
She put six more ears of corn into the basket, filling it up completely.
Old Qin was not angry that Tang Qiyue treated him as an errand boy, since they were all from his research institute after all.
After seeing off Old Qin, Tang Qiyue filled another basket and gave it to her mother, Uncle Wang, and her uncle.
Because it was fresh corn, she didn't cook too much so that she couldn't serve them all at once.
Tang's mother was a little tired of eating seafood every day these days and was looking for a change of taste when Tang Qiyue came.
She really liked the fresh corn.
After chatting with Tang's mother for a while, Tang Qiyue went to the cafeteria.
Sure enough, both Uncle Lao and Uncle Wang liked the fresh corn very much.
If they didn't know that it would be a waste to eat the fresh corn directly, they would definitely ask Tang Qiyue to collect all the corn. Even so, it probably wouldn't be enough for the soldiers to eat.
"It's better to keep it as seeds!"
The old man sighed while chewing corn.
Tang Qiyue thought it was unnecessary: "If you want to eat it, just eat it. The corn seeds are the same as those you gave out!"
When she said this, her uncle didn't believe it.
They also planted corn, but what was the result?
It doesn't taste like this at all.
He even thought he had remembered it wrong, so he went to their cornfield to pick a few ears of corn, and cooked them when he got home. But after taking a bite, he realized that he was not mistaken, and that they were really different.
Tang Qiyue was not sure how to explain it. She saw that the corn was not growing well, so she added some growth nutrients when watering.
These corns are really not the mutant corns she exchanged for. It is simply because the growth nutrients are too strong, which has stimulated the potential of the corn.
"Save the seed!"
The uncle was even more reluctant to let Tang Qiyue cut all the corn, the corn was so delicious!
Tang Qiyue had no choice but to give up.
Just treat it as a seed.
At least these are normal corns, so even if the yield is high, it is reasonable. If she had produced mutated corn, it would be really hard to explain.
She had seen the corn in the end times. It was not that the yield was so high, but that the corn was so big. There was only one cob of corn on a corn stalk, but that corn was half the size of her.
The old uncle insisted on going to check out the cornfield and planned to take a walk around it every day and have someone keep an eye on it. Once the corn is fully ripe, it will be harvested and saved for seeds!
In the end, he was not much better than Old Qin. When he saw the situation in the cornfield, he was numb.
"The results of your vegetables going crazy every day are scary enough, why is this corn so scary too?"
The old uncle touched the corn ears on the corn stalks as if they were treasures.
A few years ago, some agricultural production villages boasted that the corn yield per mu was 5,000 to 6,000 kilograms. He thought it was bragging, but now he finds that the yield per mu of 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms was not bragging at all!
