It wasn't just Jia Xu…
Everyone present, be it civil officials, generals, or ordinary citizens, all widened their eyes, wanting to know what Li Qiu was going to do.
"Watch carefully."
Li Qiu naturally wouldn't disappoint.
He smiled faintly and began to peel the corn cobs…
The seed given by the system was indeed extraordinary. It should be known that the biggest problem with growing corn was usually pests and diseases…
If it was in the modern era, there would be no need to worry too much if there were pesticide spraying. However, in this era, without pesticide, if there was an outbreak of pests and diseases, it would undoubtedly be very serious.
However, the corn seeds given by the system, in addition to the characteristics of cold resistance and high yield, also had extraordinary resistance to pests. Therefore, these corn cobs did not have any traces of insects.
Not long after, yellow corn cobs appeared in front of everyone…
"Let's see."
Li Qiu smiled calmly and threw the corn in his hand to everyone.
Jia Xu and the others each caught a corn and carefully examined it.
" This is corn?!"
"What a strange food…How do I eat it? Are we going to bite it directly?"
"I wonder how it tastes?"
"The corn is ripe. Does that mean we have food?”
Most of the generals were just curious, but Jia Xu's heart was heavy, but also filled with joy!
That was because when the corn cob was in his hand, Jia Xu only felt one thing: heavy!
Heavy represented weight, and weight represented production!
At this moment, Li Qiu explained," That's right. This is corn. A stalk of corn can bear three or even more corn cobs.”
"As for how it tastes and whether it can fill your stomach, we'll know once we try it!”
"Men, take the pot and boil water!"
Without giving them too much time to be surprised or discuss, someone quickly brought over an iron pot. In the wilderness, they started a fire, boiled a pot of water, and cooked a pot full of corn cobs...
Everyone gathered nearby and watched with different expressions.
Only Li Qiu looked the calmest.
But in reality, even Li Qiu was not calm…
How does the corn taste? He hadn't eaten it before, so could he fill his stomach? The things given by the system would naturally not be bad!
However, the ripe corn, the sparkling and full corn, still surprised him...
Not long after, the corn was cooked. Li Qiu and the other higher-ups naturally each took one.
The commoners who were responsible for farming looked on helplessly, not daring to eat at all.
Seeing this, Li Qiu couldn't help but laugh." There's no need to hold them in such a tight position. A pot isn't big enough. It's naturally not enough for everyone to share one. As for the rest, everyone can share them!"”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Long live your highness!"
The commoners had long wanted to taste the corn. After all, they were responsible for farming and had watched the corn grow from seed to its current state…
After a series of cheers, they took out the corn and distributed it to everyone. It might only be enough for two or three bites, but everyone had a share.
Kengchi kengchi…
Soon, everyone began to chew on the corn cobs.
"So sweet!"
"There's also a fragrance that I've never tasted before, but it tastes very good!”
"Delicious!"
"It's sweet and fragrant. This is only cooked with water. It hasn't been cooked by any other method. It's so simple to make, but it's actually…so delicious?!”
Many of his trusted aides were shocked.
"There's actually such food in this world?!”As Chen Qingzhi gnawed on the corn cob, he could not help but look at Li Qiu's back. His heart was in turmoil.
"My lord…who is he?! Could it be that a god has descended to the mortal world?"
Compared to rice and wheat, the advantage of corn cobs was too obvious! That was, it was easy to make and delicious!
Which was more delicious, boiled rice, boiled wheat, or boiled corn cobs?
Of course, it was corn cobs!
Chen Qingzhi was a general, so his thoughts naturally began to lean towards marching and fighting.
"On the battlefield, if both sides are facing each other, the enemy will have to prepare food and cook before they can eat.”
" As for our army, they can devour the corn cobs by simply cooking them in plain water…"
"We can definitely catch the enemy off guard!”
On the battlefield, time was life!
Chen Qingzhi understood the importance of time all too well. It was precisely because of this that he was so shocked!
However, the one who was more shocked was Jia Xu!
As a strategist, he was more in touch with internal affairs. He had a deep understanding of grain and grass, from staple food to wild vegetables.
However, he never knew that there was such a simple, convenient, and delicious staple food!
He didn't even need to eat any food. He could just wolf it down!
Moreover…
After eating a corn cob, Jia Xu was shocked."" I'm actually…full?!"
Jia Xu was a little stunned.
Although he wasn't a general and didn't have a particularly big appetite, he was already full from eating just a corn cob. Although he wasn't full, he was definitely not hungry!
In other words, one meter per stalk could feed him for a day, or even more?!
If it was a special period…
"No wonder the lord has always been so calm. It turns out that he already has a plan in mind!”
" Compared to my lord, I, Jia Xu, boast that I'm not weak, but I'm still lacking by quite a bit…"
"But, where did my lord get such amazing food like corn? Even I…have never heard of it before!”
" However, although the corn is good…I'm afraid it's not enough. I can only eat it sparingly as long as I don't starve to death…"
"Wenhe, are you considering whether the corn production is enough?”
Seeing Jia Xu's expression change one after another, Li Qiu asked with a smile.
"Yes, my lord."
Jia Xu said bluntly.
"Watch carefully…"
Li Qiu waved his hand and looked at the people who had already finished eating their corn. They looked like they had not had enough and said softly,"Just like me, go and collect the corn cobs.”
"I only took one mu of land and piled it all up here.”
After Li Qiu pointed at the empty space beside her feet, the commoners all went over.
A large number of commoners worked together at an extremely fast speed. In just a few minutes, all the corn on an acre of land was collected and piled up in front of Li Qiu like a small mountain.
"The production…is actually so high?？？”
Jia Xu was so excited that his entire body was trembling. Even his eyes were red!
This time, there was no need for Li Qiu to give any instructions. Someone had already started weighing the scale. The final result caused everyone to be dumbstruck!
" 1,000…700 jin?!"
Jia Xu was flabbergasted and incredulous."This yield is actually…actually more than ten times that of rice!!!”
The commoners were also dumbfounded!
People who had never planted a field might not understand what this meant.
However, did the commoners not know?
It was more than ten times the output of ordinary grain!!!
What kind of monster was this corn?!'
Who exactly are our 'kings' and 'lieres'?？？
No, this wasn't something a human could do, right?
"Could it be that my lord is really a god who has descended to the mortal world?!”
Jia Xu's mind was shaken, and it was difficult for him to calm down…The nearby commoners were dumbfounded, and almost all of them were scared silly…
If it really doesn't work, it's good to leave a comment.
