On a flat land in the mountains, Zhang Shengli was teaching Guhong and Cangshi planting methods step by step.
The three of them were standing in a cornfield with relatively sparse plants.
I saw Zhang Shengli practicing and explaining at the same time.
"Boss, this rice has been around for so long, why hasn't it grown yet?"
Gu Hong clearly remembered that Tang Rou had said that when the corn was about to be harvested, it could be cooked and eaten directly.
But the corn was half as tall as a man, and apart from the ears, there was no rice at all.
"There is also this interplanted peanut. Our people have approached me several times, saying that it affects the growth of corn." Cangshi also bent down at this time, put down the tools in his hands, and pointed at this inedible and useless peanut.
Peanut looked helpless.
Zhang Shengli didn't know how to explain these problems to these two idiots.
He picked up a peanut at random.
"Boss, stop!" Cangshi quickly stopped him. In his opinion, although this peanut seems useless, it is still a kind of plant. It is very rare in today's deserted mountains.
Zhang Shengli shook his head and cleared the soil of the uprooted peanuts.
"See, these are peanuts and they are edible."
They saw peanuts appearing in front of them, and they were stunned.
Gu Hong picked one directly from it, put it in his mouth and ate it.
Forehead!
Zhang Shengli was speechless. He also picked one, peeled off the shell, and said, "Peanuts need to be shelled before they can be eaten, just like this."
With that said, he took out a few seeds inside and handed them to the two of them.
"You can eat it now, but if you wait until it is ripe, dry it in the sun, take out the seeds and fry it, it will be delicious."
The two of them stupidly put the seeds into their mouths and tasted them. They were sweet and tasted really good.
"Boss, give me the rest." Cang Shi snatched the remaining peanuts from Zhang Shengli's hand as if he had found a treasure.
"Let me tell you, the leaves are not tasty and the roots have no flavor. They grow underground." Cangshi seemed to have discovered a new world at this time and was very excited.
"What about this corn? Does it also grow underground?" Gu Hong said, directly uprooting a corn.
When Zhang Shengli wanted to stop it, it was already too late.
"No? Has it not grown up yet?"
Zhang Shengli was speechless and had no choice but to take the corn stalk from Gu Hong's hand and pluck off the only corn bud on it.
"I'm baking here."
"Look, you can't eat this yet, but you can try it."
Looking at the corn cob that was still being released, Gu Hong's eyes widened.
"There is still this knowledge here. So how do you eat this?"
"Take it back and cook it to eat."
As the three of them started chatting, Gu Xuan led Cuicui here.
Far away, Cuicui heard Zhang Shengli's explanation, and out of curiosity, she pulled out a peanut.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Zhang Shengli shouted angrily.
I finally managed to bring the corn and peanuts here, but they are not growing well. You know, these things are all treasures.
He pulled one out himself to explain it to the two of them, but Cuicui was better. Without saying anything, he just started and pulled out two trees.
"Eat? Didn't you say you wanted to eat like this?"
As he said that, he didn't mind being dirty and just imitated Zhang Shengli's example, peeling the peanut open, then took it out and put it in his mouth.
"Hey! This tastes pretty good. You can't finish these, right? How about selling them to me?"
Zhang Shengli was speechless.
"What do you want this for?"
"Nonsense, our flower shop is also a restaurant, so snacks are a must. Think of this as a snack and a dessert before meals, right?"
This idea is so powerful that Zhang Shengli cannot refute it at all.
"This is not yet cooked, and this is not how you eat it. You have to wait until it is cooked and stir-fry before it tastes delicious."
"Then should I make a reservation at the head office in advance?" Cuicui walked directly in front of the three of them and grabbed the corn, her interest also greatly increased.
"No, these are just for our experiments. If we want to save seeds for next year, we won't even have enough to eat."
"I paid for it, I didn't ask for it from you. It doesn't work this way or that way. Why do you think it's your mother-in-law? It's worse than the girls in our flower shop."
Zhang Shengli was so angry.
Even if I can't say it, I still can't hide.
He simply threw the tool in his hand directly to Gu Hong.
"You guys get busy first, I'll go take a look at the vegetable patch."
He turned around and left without any sloppiness.
A smile appeared at the corner of Cuicui's mouth, but Gu Xuan beside her opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
This was the first time she had seen Zhang Shengli annoyed like this. Even the mistress would not have done this before.
"Sister Cuicui, are you in need of food?"
Hearing Gu Xuan's question in a low voice, Cuicui nodded helplessly.
"It's more than just a shortage? It's a huge shortage. It's not just us, the entire Great Desert City is in shortage."
"The grain trucks transported by the Fengtian Dynasty to Dahuang City are often intercepted. In the city, only those who are rich and powerful can fill their bellies, while others can only keep their bellies full."
"Do you want some vegetables?" Gu Xuan's eyes lit up and she suddenly asked.
"You want it? As long as you have it, I can eat as much as you want."
Gu Xuan's words were like a heavenly voice.
"Actually, we have a lot of vegetables here. We didn't have enough to eat before, but now we can't finish them. If you want them, we can sell them all to you."
"You can make the decision in this matter?" Cuicui looked back at the direction Zhang Shengli left.
"If we can't finish it, it will be thrown away. If we sell it to you, we can also exchange it for spiritual stones. As long as the mistress nods, the boss will not care about it."
"You mean, your mistress is in charge here?" Cuicui felt that she was wrong from the beginning and found the wrong person.
"The boss makes the decision on big things, but the mistress decides on small things like these."
"A trivial matter? Is this still a trivial matter?" Cuicui's brain seemed a little weak, so she pulled Gu Xuan and said, "Let's go, take me to see your mistress."
After saying that, he seemed unwilling to give in and picked a few corns from the cornfield.
"This isn't cooked yet!" Gu Xuan saw this and quickly stopped her.
"Didn't your master just say that this corn can be cooked and eaten even if it is not ripe? Today we will taste the taste of this corn."
Gu Xuan was speechless. Why didn't she hear it?
He shook his head and ignored it. There was still a lot of corn in the field anyway, so picking a few would be harmless.
But it was Cang Shi and Gu Hong who were standing in front of the cornfield.
"Hong, what does your sister mean?"
"How do I know?"
As he spoke, Gu Hong subconsciously put the corn stalk in his hand into his mouth and took a bite.
"what you do?"
Gu Hong's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Brother Cangshi, you can eat this pole too."
Cang Shi had a strange look on his face, looking at Gu Hong as if he were a monster.
"Can it really be eaten?"
"Try it, it's very sweet!" As he said that, he swallowed the residue in his mouth directly.
"It's just that the juice is sweet and the food tastes chewy, but it doesn't taste good."
