The dumbfounded Tu Yuan came to his senses and said, "Yuan Yuan has found a new food."
His tone was no longer as excited as before.
"What's new?" Zhu Shan and Tu Qing asked in unison, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The corner of Tu Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he explained tactfully, "You are busy."
"New food is more important, you should just say it directly," Tu Qing said solemnly, "We can't do this again next time, what should we do if it delays things?"
Tu Yuan, "..." New food is not something that a tree in the forest can just want. Who knows if there will be a next time.
Fortunately, the topic soon turned to corn. The two patriarchs held the peeled golden corn and sniffed it gently. They smelled a faint sweet fragrance and couldn't help but smile with joy.
Zhu Shan said, "What kind of corn can be eaten raw?"
"Yes," Zhu Yuanyuan nodded, "it's crispy and sweet when eaten raw."
Although this kind of corn is not as sweet as fruit corn, it is enough for orcs who can even eat sour fruits.
Tu Qing's eyes lit up when he heard this. He reached out and stuffed the corn cob into his mouth, biting it down hard, "Oh, it's so hard!".z.
His two big teeth almost broke.
Zhu Yuanyuan couldn't bear to cover her face, "Children of the three clans, don't worry, I haven't said how to eat this thing yet."
Although the corn cobs in the middle can also be eaten, they are ground into powder and mixed with corn flour and eaten together. The taste is not very good and can only barely fill the stomach. In the previous life, people would only eat it when there was a famine.
However, is the reaction of the three clan leaders a bit exaggerated? How can the rabbit orcs not be able to bite corn cobs if their teeth are so powerful?
Zhu Yuanyuan fell into deep thought.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhu Shan gave Zhu Yuanyuan a nudge. "I'm asking you how to eat corn. It's better to tell her quickly."
"Ah~" Zhu Yuanyuan came back to her senses and said with a smile, "Just eat the outer ring of corn kernels and don't eat the hard core inside. If you really run out of food, you can just dry the whole corn and grind it into powder. It just tastes a bit rough."
After saying this, he remembered the appearance of the three clansmen eating corn just now, and added, "It's best to cook it and eat it. How about I boil some for everyone to try?"
Tu Qing and Zhu Shan looked at each other and said in unison, "No need."
The two patriarchs picked out a few corn kernels from the bitten corn cobs and ate them separately, then nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, delicious."
Zhu Shan said, "It is indeed very sweet. Since it is a good thing, let's think about how to save the seeds for planting next year."
"Second Patriarch, don't you want to taste the taste of ripe corn?" Zhu Yuanyuan asked unwillingly.
"The quantity is limited, so you have to save the seeds first," Zhu Shan said solemnly. "Don't worry, you found the corn. When it is planted, you will get more. The rest of the herb collection team will also share."
Tu Qing nodded in agreement, "Yes, your contribution will not be forgotten."
Zhu Yuanyuan never expected that the corn she bought with knowledge points could not be eaten. She was completely confused. But what the second clan leader said made sense. She could not refute it, so she could only agree aggrievedly. , "Okay~"
If it were not for the realization of corn freedom, she would not engage in this loss-making business.
When it came to saving seeds, Zhu Yuanyuan was not sure. She thought for a moment and then said, "Dry the corn cobs and rub the kernels out, which should be the seeds. It's too late to plant them this year. You can try planting some to see if they sprout."
"Like trying to grow hemostatic grass?" Tu Yuan asked.
Zhu Yuanyuan nodded, "That's right."
"You know better, just do as you say," Zhu Shan said.
Zhu Yuanyuan suddenly felt that she had become an expert in farming. No matter what she planted, she had to take the lead. She couldn't help but torture her soul, "Second Patriarch, do you still remember that I am underage?"
"Age is not a problem," Zhu Shan waved his hand and said domineeringly, "Don't worry, no one will dare to bully you as long as I am here."
Zhu Yuanyuan was speechless and choked. Is she worried about being bullied?
of course not.
She just found that she was bent over by the burden of life at such a young age, and she felt...
A bit pitiful, ugh~
"Is everything okay?" Tu Qing began to urge, "Mei Shi, hurry up and count the potatoes. You have to count the sweet potatoes later. There are many things to do, so don't delay."
Zhu Shan responded, "Okay, okay, let's continue counting right away."
Anyway, I can’t count them clearly, I just count them to give me peace of mind. What should I do if I panic.
While shaking his head and sighing, Zhu Shan directed the herb collection team to carry the corns to the open space outside the storage room to dry, leaving only one corn in the end. "Take Yuanyuan and try to see if you can grow it."
Zhu Yuanyuan was still in a daze when she took the corn, "Just give me one?"
"That's right," Zhu Shan explained, "You said that there is not enough time this year to mature and bear fruit even if you plant them, so there is no need to plant too many to avoid wasting the seeds."
New food seeds are precious. Use one less and save more. After all, there are tens of thousands of people in the tribe who need to eat!
Zhu Yuanyuan could understand the clan leader's good intentions, but she was a little disappointed. She wanted to eat corn and that's why she got into such an accident. In the end, she couldn't eat half of it. This situation can make anyone who hears it sad and shed tears.
No, she had to eat corn today. She was not allowed to eat the corn that was put on the open side. She could eat it secretly in private. There was still a lot in the system backpack anyway.
Steamed corn, grilled corn, fried corn kernels...
Tears of disappointment flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Yuanyuan," Tu Yuan said helplessly, "stop staring at the corn. If you look at the corn again, it's time for the two clan leaders to take it back and dry it together."
"No way, are you staring so closely?" Zhu Yuanyuan subconsciously looked back and met Zhu Shan's sharp gaze. She suddenly felt her scalp numb and hurriedly raised her hands in a gesture of surrender. "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to eat, I just want to eat." Observe more and try to succeed in the trial."
Zhu Shan's face softened slightly when he heard this, "Then you have to work harder."
"Yeah, I'll try my best," Zhu Yuanyuan replied crisply.
After Zhu Yuanyuan got the matter over with, she hurriedly left. She was afraid that she would be punished again if she didn't leave.
Others were rewarded for doing good deeds, but she took a new job for herself, taking the saying that you will never die until you do something.
Fortunately, Tongzi is here. As long as you study hard, you can definitely grow corn.
"Tongzi," Zhu Yuanyuan called silently, "help me quickly find a way to save and plant corn seeds. I will use it later."
"Searching, please wait," Tongzi replied in a mechanical voice. After a few minutes, he answered, "No relevant information was found in the orc world. Courses cannot be arranged. Host, please purchase in the mall. I wish you a happy life~"
Zhu Yuanyuan was not happy. The inability to arrange courses meant that there was no free technology to learn. She could only spend knowledge points to buy it. Although it was not expensive, it was still very heartbreaking.
Frowning, he called up the virtual mall and searched for the corn planting technology he needed. Just as he was about to start, he suddenly remembered the detailed explanations of the hundreds of crop planting techniques he bought before. Common fruits, vegetables and grains should all be recorded.
Busy deleting the items in the shopping cart and looking for treasures in the system backpack.
"Found it," Zhu Yuanyuan successfully found the target. She breathed a sigh of relief and decided to go home and study.
