Chapter 64: Rubbing Corn



"Go." If I don't go to work after returning, I'll be in trouble again.

"Then let's go."

Meng Yu was also waiting outside, and the three of them walked towards the drying yard together.

There were many piles of golden corn cobs, and each pile was surrounded by people.

They are all old people, children and women, and the strong laborers are still rushing to harvest in the fields.

It was the first time that Qin An Ning saw how corn was rubbed.

Use a corn skewer to thread three or four strips of corn apart, and then it will be easy to rub it off.

This corn skewer is a thick piece of wood about the length of an arm. It is planed in half and a groove is chiseled out longitudinally. The middle of the groove is hollowed out to allow corn kernels to fall out. There is a sharp iron skewer on top.

Using this will save you effort when rubbing the corn, but you have to be very careful when threading it, because you may accidentally pierce your hands.

Some people are used to it. They hold the corn in one hand and the corn pulp in the other hand, and rub it with skill, and the corn kernels will come out.

Anyway, not as natural as before.

Qin Anning felt her face getting a little hot, and she lowered her head and rubbed the corn in her hands. "Aunt Lu, Lu Cheng went straight back to work."

Wang Qiufen nodded and felt relieved, as long as the person was fine.

Li Chunfang also came over and asked with great interest, "Qin Zhiqing, have you found Zhang Dashan's child?"
