Chapter 53 Unexpected Joy

Mu Feng led a dozen people to cat around in the bushes, quietly waiting for the wild boar to finish eating and leave.

Until the last wild boar hummed away from the corn stalk, Mu Feng finally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and rushed out cheering.

Lihu, Mingguang and others were very puzzled, and they all shouted: "Great Chief!"

Mu Feng turned around and beckoned to them: "Come and see!"

They were very puzzled, and came out of the bushes and approached Mu Feng.

Mu Feng took off a corn cobs from a corn stalk that had not been knocked down, stretched out his hand and peeled off the husk, revealing a corn ear that was about ten centimeters in length.

Because it is wild, the ears of corn are so small that they cannot compare with the ears of twenty or thirty centimeters long that Mu Feng has seen in his previous life.

Even the corn kernels are a lot smaller, each one is round, and it takes two or three to be worth a modern one.

Even so, Mu Feng couldn't stop smiling.

"Look, this is what I'm looking for this time!" Mu Feng laughed.

"Great Chief, what is this thing?" Li Hu looked at Mu Feng with excitement on his face, and he didn't know what to do.

"It's called corn, you can eat it!" Mu Feng explained patiently.

"Can you eat?" After Lihu heard about it, he stretched out his hand and broke one from a corn stalk.

But right away he spat out the corn kernels "ahhhhh": "It's so hard, it's not tasty at all!"

Mingguang, Shuofeng and others on the side had also broken the corn to taste, but when they heard Lihu say this, they threw the corn on the ground again.

"Don't throw it away!" Mu Feng said anxiously, "This is fully mature corn, so naturally you can't eat it like this! You can eat it raw only when the bracts on it are still green!"

"Ah?" Lihu frowned, "Then you can't eat this thing now, or do you want to use it to feed wild boars?"

Mu Feng smiled and shook his head: "This corn is already ripe, and it can be eaten. But it is not eaten directly. It needs to be ground into corn flour, and then steamed and eaten!"

"Grind it into powder, steamed steamed buns?" Lihu repeated with a puzzled look on his face.

Others were also puzzled.

Obviously, what Mu Feng said was beyond their understanding.

Mu Feng naturally saw their confusion and waved his hands with a smile: "Okay, you will understand later. What we have to do now is to break as much corn as possible, and then bring it back to the tribe!"

"Great Chief, will you eat the corn after breaking it?" someone asked.

"Yeah!" Mu Feng nodded, "Part of it is used to grind it into flour to eat, and part of it is used as a seed to plant! In the future, the food of the tribe will no longer be a problem!"

"Ah?" the man exclaimed, "Will anyone eat something so unpalatable?"

"Unpalatable?" Mu Feng smiled mysteriously, "That's something you haven't eaten made of corn, you'll know when you've eaten it!"

That person's heart warmed, but he didn't expect Mu Feng, as a great chief, to explain to himself so kindly and patiently.

If this was placed on the former old chief, he would definitely be too lazy to say a word.

Hearing that Mu Feng said that he was going back to grow corn, and that corn could be used as food, everyone moved.

They all carry piglets on them that were meant to be caught

Boy's bamboo cage is now used to hold corn.

Under the guidance of Mu Feng, all the corn was husks removed, and the smooth cob was kept in the pig cage.

Except for Mu Feng's accident, each of the others had no less than 100 catties of corn cobs in each cage.

Especially Lihu and Mingguang, although they shouted that corn is not delicious, but when they heard that corn can be used as food, it was quite unequivocal, and they each carried nearly two hundred pounds of corn cobs on their backs!

Mu Feng looked at a large piece of corn stalks in the distance, with corn cobs hanging on them, and some felt that there were fewer people with them.

But fortunately, the dozen or so people brought enough corn now. Besides sifting the seeds, they also had enough to eat for a few meals.

A dozen or so people carefully avoided the bush where the wild boar was, and returned to the way up the mountain smoothly.

Mu Feng held a corn cobs in his hand, broke off a large corn kernel and chewed it in his mouth for a few bites. It felt a little hard, obviously because the starch content was not too high.

He knew in his heart that this was because corn was wild, and if he wanted to have a high starch content, he could only cultivate it through the day after tomorrow.

But he was still very happy.

Because the appearance of corn made him realize that his environment does not seem to be so limited, and even corn can be found. What about other crops?

Once the tribe has planted corn on a large scale and domesticated various livestock, they will no longer worry about food and clothing.

The people in the tribe can only think about other things when their stomachs are full.

Right now, he was thinking about where to plant the corn, and how the corn kernels could be ground into flour.

"Corn can only be grown on the flat land at the foot of the mountain west of the tribe, where the terrain is open and the soil looks fertile."

"As for grinding corn flour... it seems that I have to make a stone mill!" Mu Feng thought.

"System, hand in the task!"

The system immediately prompts: "Get edible corn and get 300 achievement points!"

"Huh?" Mu Feng wondered, "Isn't it 200 points that you can eat?"

"Corn is a crop and has far-reaching influence in history, and the achievement point is higher!"

"

Hahaha! Mu Feng laughed loudly, "A pleasant surprise! "
