In the field, Mei Yin looked at the corn scattered in the field in twos and threes, one plant in the east and one in the west.
The mood seemed particularly comfortable.
The mood affected by such a bitch like Zhu Su has quickly recovered at this time,
Compared to Zhu Shu and other villains, what I saw at this time was the truly good thing.
There were sweet potatoes, and now there’s corn.
As long as these two things can be thoroughly promoted.
So in the future, Daming will have many foundations.
Many things will become easier to do.
Not to mention saving thousands of people from fire and water, at least it will prevent many people from starving to death.
Can do something for this world.
For Mei Yin, this is enough.
At this time, the corn is growing particularly strong.
What we found here in Meiyin were 731 corn plants.
Not a single one died.
Moreover, every plant grows very vigorously.
It looked more vigorous than the corn growing in the fields that Mei Yin saw in later generations.
I don't know if this is because Mei Yin and his friends discovered corn.
Under the leadership of Mei Yin, he paid special attention to corn and took great care of it.
Caused by fertilizing to catch insects.
In other words, the corn obtained through the system is an enhanced version.
It is very different from ordinary corn.
Very adaptable.
It's also possible it's both.
Looking at these vigorously growing corns, Mei Yin was in a good mood.
At this time, the corn has already formed cobs.
There are even some corn silks on the bottom cobs that grow out first, slightly changing color.
It is no longer the bright yellow it was before.
Instead it turned brown.
When it turns black again, the corn in the corn bag is completely mature.
Mei Yin looked at it for a while.
Gently tear open the corn bag from the top of the cob.
When I saw the tender yellow corn kernels inside, I felt extremely friendly.
He came close to the edge and sniffed hard.
A pleasant aroma, unique to corn, penetrated into the nostrils at once.
It makes people feel a lot better.
Mei Yin almost couldn't hold it back and wanted to break off a few sticks and cook them.
However, such thoughts were finally suppressed by him.
There is still too little corn now.
And corn and sweet potatoes are different.
Sweet potatoes can be planted on vines.
In those days, one sweet potato plant could turn into many.
Corn is different.
Corn requires seeds to grow.
If you plant a seed, you will grow a seed.
If you want to continue to expand, you can only wait until the climate is suitable.
Plant the corn seeds.
Then at this time, he broke off a cob of corn.
Next year there will be hundreds less.
Therefore, in order to expand the scale of planting in the future.
It’s better to leave it behind first.
It’s not impossible to wait until next year when more corn is grown, and then continue to eat it.
Not much later.
And the corn provided by this system is obviously of different varieties.
Some corns only have one cob, and they grow very large.
Some corns have more than one cob.
While there is a cob below, new corn cobs are growing on top.
There are even some corns, with as many as five cobs from bottom to top!
However, according to Mei Yin's experience, the ones that can grow multiple sticks will most likely grow the best from the lowest stick.
The higher it goes, the worse it gets.
By the beginning of the fourth stick, it was basically hard to find any corn kernels.
In addition, there are some smaller corns.
After Mei Yin's careful identification, he felt that these relatively small-looking corns were most likely the kind of small corns specially used to make popcorn.
When there is corn in the future, I can use this corn to try to make some popcorn.
It's easy to pour this thing, you just need to pour some oil into the pot.
Then grab a handful of corn beans specially made for popcorn, put them in, and cover the pot.
Burn slowly with a small fire.
Soon it will crackle and explode.
If you like sweets, you can also put some sugar in the corn after it is fried and turn it into sugar water and stir it back and forth.
Of course, compared to this kind of popcorn fried in a pot.
The kind that kicks down, makes a loud bang, and white smoke rises, which scares people.
The popcorn that can even make the old man who popped the popcorn collapse and fall over makes the popcorn even more delicious.
I feel...
Looking at these corns, Mei Yinna was really thinking a lot, and she couldn't get enough of them.
After looking at all the corn in this way, Mei Yin finally broke off two cobs of corn and took them home.
Corn has always been valued by Mei Yin.
And here, there are people who are the prince's personal guards, specially guarding the fields.
Ordinary people are not allowed to approach.
Not to mention the fruit of breaking corn.
That will definitely be captured directly.
It is even possible to be killed.
The people involved are extremely concerned about corn.
When there is a strong wind, there will be people who use tools to surround the corn.
And keep it there to prevent it from being blown down by the wind.
But at this time, it was Mei Yin who started to break the corn cobs, so there was no problem.
The reason why Mei Yin picked up these two sticks of corn and took them back was because he suddenly thought of something.
That is, corn has not yet been tested to see if it is poisonous.
He naturally knows that corn is a very good thing.
But for people of this era, this is not the case.
This is a brand new crop. It is unknown whether it can be eaten or whether it is poisonous.
If you should pretend to check, you still need to check.
Under such circumstances, he naturally felt at ease when he started to break corn cobs again.
……
After returning home, Mei Yin got some corn kernels and fed them to the chickens and ducks.
After waiting for a while and confirming that it was non-toxic, I got some raw corn kernels and put them in my mouth to chew.
I just feel the fragrance in my mouth.
Then, take the remaining corn.
One stick was chopped into several sections, some pork ribs were added, and they were stewed together.
I want to make corn and ribs soup for my little daughter-in-law.
It's quite good to eat these during confinement.
As for the other stick, Mei Yin thought about it and baked it.
Tender corn cobs don't need to be cooked too much. They only need to be boiled in water to make them particularly delicious.
But let’s really talk about it.
The roasted corn tastes even better.
It has a fragrance that boiled corn doesn't have.
After it was done, Mei Yin tasted a little of the soup.
The aroma of pork bones, meat, and the sweet and waxy aroma of corn are mixed together.
I only feel the fragrance lingering on my lips and teeth.
Then he picked off seven or eight corn kernels from the roasted corn and chewed them in his mouth.
I also feel that my mouth is full of fragrance,
It tastes really good!
"Come on, Yourong, try this."
Mei Yin came into the room carrying corn stewed pork ribs soup and a stick of roasted corn.
He looked at Princess Ningguo as if she were offering a treasure and said.
A faint smile suddenly appeared on Princess Ning Guo's face.
At the same time, my mood suddenly became particularly good.
Just by looking at his husband like this, he knew that he must have made something particularly delicious for him.
Although she had already told her husband.
Let your husband not have to take care of himself so carefully.
Just let others do the cooking.
You don’t have to cook every meal yourself.
But the husband didn’t listen.
I still cook for myself on time every day.
Every time there is a different cooking style. Special attentiveness.
This made her feel particularly touched, knowing that she really had not chosen the wrong person.
My husband is really good.
Being able to meet my husband is truly my greatest luck!
"What delicious food did your husband cook?"
Mei Yin smiled and said: "I guarantee you can't guess it."
With that said, he opened the lid.
A fragrance filled the air.
Princess Ning Guo was somewhat surprised when she looked at the food in the bowl.
"Husband, what is this?"
After asking this question, Princess Ningguo reacted immediately.
"Could it be...could this be another new plant that appeared in the ground this year?"
Mei Yin has not yet officially named the corn.
Princess Ningguo also knew that this new thing appeared in her land this year.
Last year, sweet potatoes appeared, and this year, peppers appeared.
All have been proven to be particularly good.
For this, there are some plants that look like sorghum at the beginning, but become less and less like sorghum as they grow later.
She was also very curious in her heart.
I really want to see a new good thing appear.
For her, there were few things she had not seen.
Now it is one I have never seen before.
It's easy to associate them together.
Mei Yin smiled and nodded: "My wife is so smart.
You guessed it right away.
This is that new thing.
I think some are already mature.
I broke off two sticks and came back.
I have tried some methods and it is not poisonous.
I've tried it myself and it tastes pretty good.
Even when eaten raw, it has a sweet taste.
It tastes better when cooked.
I'll give you a try. ”
After hearing this, Princess Ningguo picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of soup from the rice bowl filled by Mei Yin, blew it, and then brought it to her mouth and took a sip.
Suddenly his eyes became blurry.
With a sense of enjoyment.
"Husband, it tastes so delicious!"
Princess Ning Guo has drunk pork rib soup many times.
But this was the first time I drank this kind of pork rib soup stewed with this new fruit.
The taste is obviously different from the previous pork rib soup.
While it's equally delicious, it also has a sweet taste that I didn't have before.
Mei Yin smiled and said: "It's delicious, just eat more."
As he said that, he put a section of corn into the bowl.
Let her taste it.
Princess Ning Guo brought the corn to her mouth and took a bite.
After chewing it for a few times, your eyes will suddenly light up!
"Delicious! So delicious!"
This is a taste that I have never experienced before.
The unique sweetness of this fruit is mixed with the aroma of pork bone soup.
The blend of each other is so delicious!
It was the first time she ate it, and she couldn't forget it immediately.
"Husband, this...is this really the fruit of that new thing that appeared?"
After taking two bites, Princess Ningguo seemed to think of something.
Mei Yin is busy, asking again?
There was unconcealable excitement in his voice.
Princess Ning Guo is certainly not forgetful.
Mei Yin had already said it, but she turned around and forgot about it.
She clearly remembered what her husband had just said.
This is the fruit of that thing.
But at this time, she couldn't help but ask again.
The reason for this was after she personally tasted how delicious it was.
Suddenly, more things came to mind.
This thing is so good, if it really is a new crop that appears in my home.
Then, my Ming Dynasty will definitely become particularly good because of this!
Daming was able to get another particularly good crop.
Blessed are the people of Ming Dynasty!
Ming Dynasty is also blessed!
"Yes, it's the new plant that appeared in our field."
Princess Ningguo suddenly smiled when she heard this.
Not to mention how good my mood is,
Very good! It's really great!
First there are sweet potatoes, then there are peppers.
Now there is another such a particularly delicious crop.
From now on, my place in Daming will become even better.
"Husband, have you given this thing a name?"
Princess Ning Guo looked at Mei Yin and asked.
Mei Yin shook his head.
Looking at the corn, he thought for a while and said:
"I see that this thing is also in grains, and it looks a bit like rice grains.
But it is much bigger than a grain of rice.
And the colors are also different.
After being cooked in the pot, it becomes crystal clear and has the luster of jade.
Might as well call it corn. ”
corn?
Princess Ningguo heard this and looked at the corn in the bowl carefully.
Then he nodded hard and said:
"Husband, this name is so appropriate.
corn! corn! It sounds great! ”
So, the couple then concentrated on dealing with food here.
You feed me a mouthful, and I'll feed you another mouthful.
It's a great pleasure to eat.
Soon, the corn stewed pork ribs and roasted corn were all eaten.
Even the corn cobs, Princess Ningguo wanted to taste.
Mei Yin smiled and said: "Yourong, this food is not delicious.
It's probably okay to get it out and feed the pigs. ”
Saying this, I couldn't help but think of Bangzi and my little life.
It is said that some supermarkets there sell corn cobs specifically.
I don’t know how they eat.
Even if this thing is used to feed pigs, it will have to be smashed.
That’s why we can’t just feed corn cobs.
It needs to be mixed with bran and many other things.
But they can eat it.
This has to be admired.
……
In the Wuying Hall, King Qin Zhu Ping came here.
He told Zhu Yuanzhang everything that happened after he came to Shuangshui Village and met his second brother-in-law.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded:
"Okay, we get it, we did a good job this time."
King Qin Zhu Ping, who was overjoyed because of his father's light compliment, left.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one left in Wuying Hall.
When Zhu Xi was there, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to care much about Mei Yin's many remarks.
But he suddenly smiled.
Then he said to himself:
"This bastard, this time he said some human words.
We knew that what we did was absolutely right.
There’s no one who teaches Biao’er more carefully than we do!
After saying this, he suddenly noticed something again.
That's what Mei Yin emphatically reminded, to be relaxed and not to tire yourself too much.
It is said that life is a long-distance race, not a sprint. Only if you live long enough can you accomplish many things.
At first, I didn't think it was anything.
But now, the more I think about it, the more I feel like something is wrong.
Mei Yin said this unintentionally.
Or, Mei Yin has discovered something.
Or just like myself, knowing the ending of some Biao'er in advance? ! ! !
