They had eaten a lot of delicious food before, but this was the first time they had eaten a corn cob like this.
Fortunately, there are no outsiders here now, otherwise others would definitely think that they have been hungry for a long time.
Su Nian leaned back in his chair. "The taste of this corn has obviously improved a lot. I just don't know what it will taste like when it is fully mature, and whether it can be ground into flour."
Hearing Su Nian's words, Wu Yue was a little surprised, "Why can't it be ground into flour? Is there any difference between corn and corn?"
"Of course there is a difference!" Su Nian said, "Some corn is used to cook and eat, while some corn is used to grind into flour and process other foods."
What Su Nian said was well-reasoned and he seemed to understand it very well, but in fact he had only watched a video and was learning on the spot.
Even with Su Nian's explanation, Wu Yue still didn't understand, but she didn't get hung up on it. She just asked, "When will it be fully mature? I think it'll taste good if cooked."
Su Nian also thought that it tasted good when cooked, "Why not pick half of it and put it in the space, and then use it to cook.
The rest is just sitting there, waiting for it to fully mature.”
As soon as Su Nian finished speaking, Wu Yue nodded repeatedly and stood up. "Okay, let's do it. I'll go pick it now!"
Su Nian and Jing Mo didn't continue sitting there, and went to pick corn with Wu Yue.
This corn obviously grows much better than ordinary corn.
Not only are the branches thick, but each corn plant also has many corn cobs.
After a quick look, I found that almost every corn plant has three to four corn cobs.
Ordinary corn usually grows one or two cobs.
The new varieties improved at the base are not growing as well as before due to the current conditions and environment.
The corn planted in the bedroom next door only had two ears on one stalk.
When I bought the seeds before, the female staff member told me that if two ears of corn grew on a corn stalk, I should break off one, otherwise the corn seeds produced by two corns would not be as many as those produced by one.
But now, because of the nutrient agent, not only two more corn cobs have grown on one corn plant, but each of them has grown very large.
Su Nian drew a stroke, which was slightly longer than her own forearm.
After collecting half of the rice cobs, Su Nian looked at the remaining ones and said, "I wonder if these can be kept as seeds. If they can be used as seeds, what will they look like when they grow without nutrients?"
Wu Yue touched her chin, also with a thoughtful look on her face, "Now that you mention it, I am also interested. When they are fully mature, we will try to grow them ourselves!"
The two of them had exactly the same opinion and hit it off immediately.
Jing Mo stood aside and looked at the two of them, his eyes quite helpless.
Have these two people made up their minds to continue farming?
This is indeed the case.
From that day on, Su Nian would take time out every day to look at the corn in the living room.
These corns grew very fast, and they were fully mature after a week.
There wasn't much corn left in the living room, and the three of them picked it together. It didn't take long before they had picked all the corn cobs.
Although there were not many corn stalks, only about 50, but each one had four corn cobs, so in the end we harvested 200 corn cobs.
This is just half of the living room, the output is quite amazing.
If you want to husk corn, you must first peel off the outer shell and then dry the corn.
But there is no sun now, so we can’t dry it in the sun, we can only hang it to dry.
Put it in a ventilated place and it won’t take more than a few days for the corn to dry completely.
When buying various supplies before the end of the world, Su Nian had never thought about farming, so he did not prepare any farm tools, and naturally had no threshing tools.
Just as Su Nian was thinking about whether to go out and see if there were any threshers for sale in the base, Jing Mo pulled her to the storage room.
The storage room was not big, so it was not used for planting. They didn't put anything in it, so it was always empty.
But recently, Su Nian occasionally saw Jing Mo walking in, and didn't know what he was doing inside.
Seeing that Jing Mo had no intention of saying anything, Su Nian did not ask.
Now being pulled inside by Jing Mo, Su Nian's eyes showed some curiosity, "Why are you taking me to the storage room?"
Jing Mo turned around and smiled at Su Nian, "You'll know in a moment."
When Su Nian saw Jing Mo’s smile, she felt as if she was shaken.
The reason is simple, it's just that Jing Mo's smile is too bright.
As the door of the storage room was opened, Su Nian also saw what was inside.
There were various tools inside, as well as some machines that Su Nian couldn't quite understand.
After a moment's pause, Su Nian understood, "You turned this place into a workshop?"
"Yes." Jing Mo nodded, "I also made a thresher."
As he spoke, Jing Mo came to another machine.
Su Nian looked at it carefully and found that it looked exactly the same as the thresher he had seen in the video before.
This small thresher is less than half a person's height.
There is a hole on the top for putting corn in.
There are openings at the front and back. Corn kernels come out from the front, and corn cobs are spit out from the back.
Su Nian had observed it carefully when watching the video before.
This small thresher has an average working speed and is a bit messy to use, but it completely frees your hands!
Thinking of this, Su Nian's eyes began to light up.
“Is yours as useful as the one in the video?”
Jing Mo did not answer, but raised his chin, his expression becoming somewhat arrogant.
Just by looking at Jing Mo's expression, Su Nian understood what he meant.
Su Nian cleared his throat, adjusted his expression, and spoke very seriously.
"I was wrong just now. The thresher you made is definitely better than any other thresher."
As soon as Su Nian finished speaking, Jing Mo smiled.
The two of them carried the thresher out together and placed it directly in the living room.
Su Nian spread a thick tarpaulin on the ground and placed the thresher on the tarpaulin.
Wu Yue came over curiously and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Thresh the corn!"
Su Nian said as he plugged in the thresher and turned on the switch.
The switch was turned on and the thresher began to hum.
The sound is not very loud, at least much smaller than in the video.
Su Nian took a corn cob and put it in, and heard a rustling sound inside.
Soon, corn kernels were spit out from the front, and corn cobs fell out from the exit at the back.
It only takes tens of seconds to peel a whole corn kernel.
This speed is awesome!
