Chapter 194 Too scary
It turned out that Old Qin saw the specialness of the cornfield in front of him.

Along the way, I saw a lot of cornfields. Because I saw them so many times, I was scared by the cornfields in front of me.

If it weren't for the fact that this piece of land was at the innermost part and was part of the family compound, the scene that Old Qin saw would have been enough to scare people.

"Girl, tell me the truth, where are you from? Why are the things you grow so exaggerated?"

Not to mention the fruits and vegetables in the yard that are growing like crazy, just take the corn, which is a food, how can it grow so crazy?

There are usually only one or two corn cobs, which is normal, but there are so many corn cobs in the cornfield in front of me that it’s a bit scary.

There are four or five ears of corn on each corn stalk.

The key is that these corn cobs are not shriveled, but each one is very plump. Open a corn cob and you will see the plump corn kernels on it, which is delightful no matter how you look at it.

Old Qin didn't hesitate and just broke off one, peeled off the corn husk, and took a bite.

Fresh corn has a unique sweetness, but today's corn kernels are not sweet enough.

"So sweet!"

Old Qin's eyes lit up.

This was the first time he had eaten such delicious fresh corn.

Tang Qiyue reminded him: "Mr. Qin, if you like to eat it, then we can cook it when we get back. Your stomach may not be able to handle eating raw corn!"

She had good intentions, but Old Qin refused to admit his age: "What's wrong? Why can't I bear it? During the famine, I ate everything."

However, he did not insist on continuing to chew it. Instead, he held the corn in his hand and looked at Tang Qiyue with burning eyes.

Tang Qiyue didn't need him to urge her. She just put the basket she brought on the ground, went into the cornfield and started picking corn.

Thinking that I would also like to give some to Tang's mother, Tang Xiuyuan, and Tang's mother to try, I decided to make some more.

Fortunately, corn had a high yield, so Tang Qiuyue cut down a few corn stalks and broke off the corn cobs on them.

Old Qin followed behind and pulled out a corn stalk, tore off all the leaves on it, broke it in two, and began to tear off the outer skin with his teeth. Fresh corn stalks are also sweet.

He ate happily, and Tang Qiyue didn't say anything. She just picked one and started chewing it.

Her corn stalk is comparable to sugarcane and has a high sugar content.

The two did not stay in the field for long. Old Qin helped carry the corn stalks, and Tang Qiyue carried the corn ears.

The two returned home. Tang Qiyue first peeled the corn husk, leaving only a thin layer and threw it into the pot. She added a lot of water and then lit the fire to start cooking the corn.

Old Qin was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, chewing corn stalks while discussing with Tang Qiyue the fruits and vegetables in her yard.

"I'm telling you, the things you have here are too abnormal. Aren't you afraid of being noticed by others?"

Tang Qiuyue did not continue to eat corn stalks. Although they were sweet, she still preferred to eat melons.

She picked a particularly soft melon and threw the flesh inside to the chickens and ducks, and she ate the outside of the melon.

"Isn't it you, old man?"

Tang Qiyue said it frankly.

Old Qin was stunned, then burst into laughter.

He asked why Zhan Zeye agreed to let him come to the island, it turned out to be to cover up for Tang Qiyue.

"I have no problem covering for you, but you have to give me something delicious!"

Mr. Qin didn't suffer any loss either.

If he couldn't see that something was wrong with Tang Qiyue, he would be a real fool.

"it is good!"

The two reached a preliminary agreement and didn't waste the rest of the time talking about it. Fresh corn doesn't need to be cooked for too long, just boil the water for ten minutes and all the corn will be cooked.

Tang Qiuyue rinsed her mouth, fished out a hot corn, peeled off the outer shell, blew off the hot air on it and took a bite.

You know what, it tastes really good.

Old Qin didn't need Tang Qiyue to be polite. He pulled out a fresh corn and started eating it.

One corn can make two people 70% full.

Old Qin directly took out five or six corns from the basket, held them in his hand and said, "I'll show them to those guys in the research institute to taste!"

Tang Qiyue grabbed his basket and said, "Please bring some to Tang Xiuyuan and Bai Xu to try. I won't go over!"

She put six more corns into the basket and filled it up.

Old Qin was not angry that Tang Qiyue treated him as an errand boy, since they were all from his research institute after all.

After seeing Old Qin off, Tang Qiyue filled another basket and gave it to her mother, Uncle Wang, and her uncle.

Because it was fresh corn, she didn't cook too much so that she couldn't serve them all at once.

Tang's mother was a little tired of eating seafood every day these days and was just looking for a change of taste when Tang Qiyue came.

She really liked the fresh corn.

After chatting with Tang’s mother for a while, Tang Qiyue went to the cafeteria.

Sure enough, both Uncle Lao and Uncle Wang liked the fresh corn very much.

If they didn't know it would be a waste to eat the fresh corn directly, they would definitely ask Tang Qiyue to harvest all the corn. Even so, it probably wouldn't be enough for the soldiers to eat.

"It's better to keep it as seeds!"

The old man sighed while chewing corn.

Tang Qiyue thought it was unnecessary: "If you want to eat it, just eat it. The corn seeds are the ones you gave out!"

When she said this, her uncle didn't believe it.

They also planted corn, but what was the result?

That's not the taste at all.

He even thought he had remembered it wrong, so he went to their cornfield to pick a few ears of corn, and cooked them when he got home. But after taking a bite, he realized that he was not mistaken, but that they were really different.

Tang Qiyue was not sure how to explain it. She saw that the corn was not growing well, so she added some growth nutrients when watering.

These corns are really not the mutated corns she exchanged. It is simply because the growth nutrients are too strong, which has stimulated the potential of the corn.

"Save the seed!"

The uncle was even more reluctant to let Tang Qiyue cut all the corn, the corn was so delicious!
Tang Qiyue had no choice but to give up.

Just treat it as a seed.

At least these are normal corns, so even if the yield is high, it is reasonable. If she had produced mutated corn, it would be really hard to explain.

She had seen corn at the end of the world. It was not that the yield was so high, but that the corn was so big. There was only one cob of corn on a corn stalk, but that corn was half the size of her.

The uncle insisted on checking out the cornfield and planned to take a walk around it every day and have someone keep an eye on it. Once the corn is fully ripe, it will be harvested and saved for seeds!
In the end, he was not much better than Old Qin. When he saw the situation in the cornfield, he was numb.

"It's scary enough that your vegetables grow like crazy every day, why is this corn so scary too?"

The old uncle touched the corn ears on the corn stalks, as if they were treasures.

A few years ago, some agricultural production villages boasted that the corn yield per mu was 5,000 to 6,000 kilograms. He thought it was bragging, but now he finds that the yield per mu of 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms was not bragging!
