Chapter 230: Go to the inn to pick corn.



After sending away the young palace maids, Liu Bai put the matter of the Women's Medical College behind her.

For her, the most important thing is to think about how to approach that person.

It would be best to show up in front of that person and take the opportunity to get close to him.

Even if it's just being by his side as a personal maid, it would be good.

.........

"Brother, let's go to the inn to collect corn today."

Qi Pan found Ying Zheng with a smile on his face.

I have been extremely busy during this period.

She wanted to go out for a walk and see how the corn was growing.

Harvest the corn.

Ying Zheng: "Okay."

"Master, please sit down for a while. I will finish the memorials I have on hand."

Qi Pan looked at the two or three memorials left on Ying Zheng's desk and nodded.

"good."

Then he sat down behind the desk.

There aren't many state affairs to attend to recently, and Ying Zheng can handle them all by himself.

Wang Wan and Fusu were not there.

In the hall, apart from Xia Lin and the palace maid standing beside her, there were only Qi Pan and Ying Zheng.

After Ying Zheng finished dealing with the memorials on the desk, he changed into casual clothes, took Xia Lin, Heibingwei, and left the palace with Qi Pan.

Eleven rode around the carriage.

He was also carrying a package on his back.

This is what Qi Pan prepared, something to use for cracking corn.

The carriage left Xianyang and entered the mountains.

Looking at this familiar place, Qi Pan felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

When the carriage stopped in front of the inn.

Qi Pan got off the carriage.

Twelve, who had already received the news and was waiting beside the carriage, immediately spoke excitedly when he saw Qi Pan.

"gentlemen!"

"Now that you're here, I've taken good care of the corn."

Seeing Twelve, Qi Pan also smiled.

"Twelve, thank you for your hard work."

Twelve: "Not hard!"

"It's my duty to do things for you, sir!"

Twelve really doesn't feel it's hard.

In addition to training every day, he waters the corn, weeds and loosens the soil.

Life is quite easy.

It's just a little lonely.

Besides him, there was only another brother accompanying him in the inn.

That brother is a dull person and nothing can be said even if you hit him with a stick.

He was almost suffocating.

Now that the master has come and collected the corn, can he follow the master back to Xianyang?

Thinking of the good days to come, Twelve's heart was filled with joy.

After Ying Zheng got off the carriage, Qi Pan, Ying Zheng, Xia Lin, Eleven, Twelve and the others walked towards the cornfield.

From a distance, I could see a vast field of corn that was taller than a person.

White lime powder is also sprinkled on the corn leaves.

This is used to repel insects.

Qipan took the package off Eleven's back.

She took out her specially made masks and gloves and distributed them to Ying Zheng, Xia Lin, Twelve and others one by one.

Ying Zheng looked at the thing in his hand and asked in confusion.

"Sir, what is this?"

Qi Pan said, "This is a mask. Wear it on your face to prevent it from getting stained by corn pollen, lime powder, leaves, etc. when you break the corn later."

"This corn has many thorns on its leaves, which can easily cause itching on the skin."

"And these gloves, put them on your hands to prevent them from being scratched."

"Don't underestimate these corn leaves, they are very sharp."

Qi Pan took out a few more strips of cloth, "Oh, yes, there's this too."

"Tie this around your wrists and calves."

"Because you might accidentally lift up your robe or trouser legs and hurt your skin."

"Even if it doesn't hurt, the itching is uncomfortable and can last for days."

After hearing what Qi Pan said, Ying Zheng, Eleven, Twelve and others all imitated Qi Pan.

Put on the mask, gloves, and tie the cloth strips.

After confirming that the equipment was ready, Qipan went down to the cornfield first.

She walked to the corn closest to her and pulled apart the tip of a corn leaf.

He looked at the corn inside to see how it was growing, then reached out and pinched a grain of corn.

There is only a small amount of white juice.

Qi Pan said to Ying Zheng, who was standing beside him, "Brother, look, this corn can produce juice, which means it's still tender."

"They can still grow longer. When they are old and no longer juicy, they can be harvested and used as food."

"If you grind it into powder, you can make corn porridge. If you grind it into powder, you can make corn grits porridge."

“If they are still tender, you can boil them whole and they will taste very sweet.”

"No matter if it's old or tender, you can eat it. The only difference is how you eat it. It can all be used as food and fill your stomach."

"But as time goes by, the corn kernels become fuller and heavier."

oh?

The longer it grows, the fuller and heavier it becomes?

Can it be ground into powder and used to make porridge?

Can corn grits be ground into powder and used to make porridge?

Can you eat both old and tender ones?

Ying Zheng said, "Good, this corn is really good."

"So can we harvest the corn now? Should we let it grow longer?"

Qi Pan said, "Let's pick a few and cook them to try."

"Let the rest grow slowly, and come back to collect it after a while."

Ying Zheng: "Okay."

Next, Qi Pan explained to Ying Zheng, Eleven, Twelve and others how to break corn.

How to judge the ripeness of corn.

After breaking off several corns, Qi Pan even broke off the stalk of one corn that looked malnourished.

He broke off a small piece of the pole and handed it to Ying Zheng.

"Brother, here, this pole can be eaten, try it."

Ying Zheng reached out and took it, "Okay."
