The process of harvesting the corn was exceptionally easy, and there were no problems at all. The large patch of corn made almost every one of the 1,000 people busy.
Although they were all curious, they still fulfilled Li Chengdao's orders.
Li Chengdao looked at the stacks of corncobs piled up, and his expression could not help but fluctuate slightly.
The discovery of corn was undoubtedly a big surprise. This meant that even if they did not find any new Native Americans, it was considered a success. After all, corn was one of the four staple foods. There was no doubt that it was useful to the entire camp.
After obtaining all these, Li Chengdao was even more excited about the sweet potato.
After all, if he didn't have corn, he might not have thought about it for the time being. But now that he had corn, he couldn't help but be tempted by sweet potatoes and potatoes. Compared to corn food, sweet potatoes and potatoes were more widely used. Roasted sweet potatoes, sour and spicy shredded potatoes, these were all food that he liked to eat in his later life, especially shredded potatoes. Even if time passed, he would order a portion of it every season to taste it.
However, Li Chengdao also understood that this was just a throbbing feeling. At present, things had not been perfectly handled, and he did not have enough understanding of South America. It was not a good choice to rashly enter.
As for whether there were potatoes and sweet potatoes in the whole of North America, Li Chengdao did not think so. Although his memory was not very deep, it was much clearer than corn. He still clearly remembered that potatoes and sweet potatoes were in South America, not North America.
Shaking his head, he temporarily tossed these thoughts out of his mind. He slowly closed his eyes and opened the navigation again. However, this time, he was not looking at the direction, but to locate it.
That's right, it was about positioning. Although the corn was now ripe and could basically be eaten, it had not truly reached the end. In other words, it was not old. Under such circumstances, eating was not a problem, but it was a big problem as a seed.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would need to come here after a period of time to pick these seeds and bring them back to the camp for harvesting.
The vast expanse of the plains was enough to ensure that even if the 1,000 of them harvested enough, they would still be able to leave behind a terrifying amount. These were naturally the seeds that Li Chengdao had prepared for planting in the future.
As for the navigation mark, it was very simple. As long as he touched it with his consciousness, it would be much easier to check it the next time.
The process was completed very quickly. Cheng Dao confirmed that he had finished collecting the corn. At this time, the collection of corn had obviously completed more than half of it. Many soldiers had already begun to sort it out. However, these people were in the midst of sorting, and their expressions were full of curiosity. These strange plants were completely unfamiliar to them, even the scholars among them were the same.
All of them kept looking at the corn, as if they wanted to see what was different about the corn that would make the imperial grandson so cautious.
However, there was no doubt that as people from a thousand years ago, they clearly did not know what these things were used for. They did not even know what the strange flower bud was for, so they could not answer this question. No one asked Li Chengdao, and even if they could not hold back their feelings, they did not say anything.
Li Chengdao began to wait quietly at the side. It was not until about an hour later that the harvesting and sorting gradually came to an end. The bundles of corn were taken care of by the vines and were ready to set off.
At this moment, it was already noon. Without the shelter of the forest, the scorching sun became exceptionally hot at this moment. After more than an hour of harvesting and walking, these people were a little tired.
In response, Li Chengdao naturally chose to set off again. Instead, he started to repair himself on the spot. Especially when he saw the curious expressions of those who looked at the corn, his heart could not help but move. With a mysterious smile on his face, he began to give instructions.
First, he sent some soldiers to hunt in the forest and bring some wild beasts over. Then, he sent some soldiers to get some corn. Of course, this time, he didn't need corn stalks. He just needed corn.
The bonfire was soon lit up, and in the midst of everyone's confusion and doubt, Li Chengdao began to guide these people on how to prepare the corn. The leaves and roots were removed, and the corn was quickly broken into pieces.
Under the gazes of many people, they gradually joined the prepared and boiled meat of wild beasts. Steel was now completely commonplace, so they naturally prepared enough cutlery for their long journey. Iron pots, which could be said to be strategic materials in the future, were quite a few in this team of thousands of people.
Under such circumstances, pork ribs were out of the question. However, wild beast meat, especially venison meat, would not be inferior. In fact, the meat quality would only be more delicious.
The cooking began very quickly. As the venison was gradually cooked, the corn was placed into the fire one by one. At the same time, the corn was dried by the fire and roasted.
Anyone who wasn't a fool would have understood something. Feng Li couldn't help but speak.
"Your, Your Highness, is this food??”
He was a little hesitant, but he also didn't dare to be certain. As the person in charge of harvesting, he knew very well how many of these things there were in this small place. If they really were food, even if they were just edible, the significance would be beyond imagination. That was why he still found it hard to believe.
The problem of food, even if he was a general, he was clear about it.
In the entire base, if Li Chengdao did not carry out fishing, especially long-distance fishing, food production would probably be a big problem. Even if a year later, the food production in this new world began to gradually increase, there would not be much change because the production could not meet the needs of the growing population. In the end, there would still be problems.
However, he had personally witnessed the production of those strange fruits from these
