Chapter 275 Corn Harvest

Chapter 275: Chapter 275 Corn Harvest

"Team leader, the corn grown by Educated Youth Yun from seedlings is taller than the corn you bought, and I also counted, there are quite a few more kernels,"

Actually, they had also used old corn as seeds before, but the harvest was poor.

But this year was different. With the seedlings from Educated Youth Yun, the corn grew exceptionally well.

Team leader Zhao had not expected that Laosan’s Wife would have such a skill.

If the corn yield increases, then the rice yield could increase this year as well.

There were many people, yet it still took three days to harvest the corn.

"The corn this year looks different."

"I was worried before, thinking we might not have enough to eat this year, but it turned out we could even have an increase in yield,"

"Just because the corn is abundant doesn’t mean the rice will be too,"

This corn is not as delicious as rice.

After the corn was harvested, it was dried and turned into public grain.

The food was distributed quickly.

"Wife, I ground some cornmeal, we could make steamed buns...."

Cornmeal?

I really didn’t know what to make.

She had tried corn bread before, though it could be served with meat.

"Steamed corn cake, do you know how to make it?"

Zhao Tianlei was stunned for a moment, "I don’t know how."

He knew how to cook, just some home-cooked dishes.

He really didn’t know how to make cakes or anything like that.

"I’ll give it a try."

In the steamed corn cake, cornmeal was mixed with yeast, to which Yun Xiaoxiao added some milk and a bit of sugar, stirred it together, and let it ferment for a while.

Then she found some raisins.

After the cornmeal had fermented, she poured it into a large steamer, topped it with some raisins, and started steaming.

"Mom, it smells so good, so good."

Xiao Bao also noticed the aroma.

As soon as it came out of the steamer, after cutting a small piece for the two kids and a larger piece for themselves, the remaining were cut into three large pieces for Da Bao to deliver with Xiao Bao.

"Mom, I don’t want to deliver to Second Uncle’s house." Xiao Bao still remembered how Da Shu and Xiao Shu had bullied them and didn’t want to give them any food.

"Be good. If you see Xiao Shu and Da Shu, just give it to them, no need to go inside their house."

Alright then.

The brothers, carrying a basket, left the house.

Of course, they first went to the old family home.

"Grandma, mom steamed some corn cake."

Corn steamed cake?

Last time it was sweet potato steamed cake, which tasted quite good.

Now it’s corn steamed cake.

"Good."

The brothers came across Da Shu and Xiao Shu halfway there.

"My mom made this corn steamed cake for you...."

Cake made by Little Aunt?

"Give it to me, give it to me."

Da Bao gave them a piece and carried the remaining piece of corn steamed cake.

School was out for the summer vacation.

Daya and Erya were both at home.

"Da Bao, Xiao Bao....."

After delivering the last piece of corn steamed cake, the brothers headed back home.

Except for Second Brother Zhao’s house, Brother Zhao’s house, the old family home, and Yun Xiaoxiao’s place all got to taste the corn steamed cake.

After the corn was harvested, the villagers shifted their focus to the rice, pulling out the weeds taller than the rice in the fields.

Seeing the rice bloom, Captain Zhao, accompanied by a few team leaders, looked over the rice fields.

"How was the corn harvest in the neighboring team?"

One of the team leaders knew, as his wife was from the neighboring team.

"It’s a bit lower than last year’s yield; the impact isn’t too significant. However, another team did poorly, their yield was not even half of last year’s, and they might face starvation. Thankfully, our team leader is far-sighted, having Educated Youth Yun start our seedlings,"

"Yes, the team leader is far-sighted, otherwise our harvest wouldn’t have been successful either,"
