I am a chief in a primitive tribe
Chapter 53
Mu Feng led a dozen or so people to cat in the bushes, quietly waiting for the wild boar to finish eating and leaving.
It wasn't until the last wild boar chirped away from the corn stalk that Mu Feng finally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and rushed out with a cheer.
Lihu, Mingguang and the 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, walked out of the bushes, and approached Mu Feng.
Mu Feng easily broke off a corn cob from a corn stalk that had not yet been arched, and reached out to peel off the bract, revealing an ear of corn that was almost ten centimeters long.
Because it was wild, the ears of corn were very small, and they couldn't compare with the ears that Mu Feng had seen in his previous life, which were twenty or thirty centimeters long.
Even the corn kernels are much smaller, and each one is round, and it takes two or three to be worthy of a modern one.
Even so, Mu Feng still smiled from ear to ear.
"Look, that's what I'm looking for this time!" Mu Feng laughed.
"Great Chief, what is this?" Lihu looked at Mu Feng, who was full of excitement, and didn't know what was going on.
"It's called corn, it's edible!" Mu Feng patiently explained.
"Can you eat it?" After Lihu heard about it, he reached out and broke one from a corn stalk, opened the bud leaves, and nibbled on it.
It's just that immediately he spit out the corn kernels with "ahh
"Don't throw it away!" Mu Feng said anxiously, "This is fully ripe corn, naturally you can't eat it like this!Only when the bracts on it are still green, you can eat it raw!"
"Huh?" Lihu frowned, "Then this thing can't be eaten 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 also be eaten." But it's not eaten directly, you need to grind it into corn flour, and then steam the steamed buns to eat!"
"Grind into flour and steam the steamed buns?"
The others were also puzzled.
It was obvious that what Mu Feng said was beyond their understanding.
Mu Feng naturally saw their confusion, and waved his hand with a smile: "Okay, you will understand later." Now all we have to do is break as much corn as we can and bring it back to the tribe!"
"Great Chief, will you eat it when you break this corn and go back?" someone asked.
"Hmm!" Mu Feng nodded, "Part of it is used to grind it into flour and eat it, and part of it is used to keep it as a seed to plant!"
"Huh?" the man exclaimed, "Will anyone eat such an unpalatable thing?"
"Unpalatable?" Mu Feng smiled mysteriously, "That's something you haven't eaten corn yet, you'll know when you eat it!"
That person's heart was warm, but he didn't expect Mu Feng, as a big chief, to explain himself so kindly and patiently.
If this had been placed in the old chieftain before, he would definitely be too lazy to say a word.
Hearing Mu Feng say that he was going back to plant corn, and that corn could be used as food, everyone moved.
They all carried bamboo cages that were originally used to catch piglets, and now they are used to hold corn.
Under the guidance of Mu Feng, all the corn was stripped of the bracts and placed in the pig cage with smooth corn cobs.
Except for Mu Feng, the rest of the people had no less than 100 catties of corn cobs in each cage.
Especially Lihu and Mingguang, although they shouted that corn was not delicious, but when they heard that corn could be used as food, they were quite unambiguous, and they each carried nearly two hundred catties of corn cobs!
Mu Feng looked at a large piece of corn stalks in the distance, and there were corn cobs hanging on them, and some felt that there were fewer people.
But fortunately, there are enough corn brought by a dozen or so people at the moment, and in addition to sifting seeds, there are enough to eat 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.
Mu Feng held a corn cob in his hand, broke off a large corn kernel and chewed it in his mouth a few bites, it felt a little hard, obviously 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 happy in his heart.
Because the appearance of corn made him realize that his environment did not seem to have so many limitations, even corn could be found, but what about other crops?
Once the tribe planted corn in a large area, plus all kinds of domesticated livestock, they would no longer have to worry about food and clothing.
And only when the people in the tribe have their stomachs full can they have the heart to think about other things.
For now, he had to think about where the corn was planted and how the kernels could be ground into flour.
"Corn can only be grown on the flat ground at the foot of the mountains to the west of the tribe, where the terrain is open and the soil looks fertile.
"As for grinding corn flour...... Looks like we're going to have to make a stone mill!" Mu Feng thought.
"System, hand in the task!" The
system immediately prompts: "Get edible corn, get 300 achievement points!"
"Huh?" Mu Feng is strange, "Isn't it 200 points that can be eaten?"
"Corn is a crop, and it has a far-reaching influence in history, so the achievement points are higher!"
"Hahaha!" Mu Feng laughed, "Unexpected joy!".
