Other than Mu Yangling, this was everyone’s first time eating corn. Qi Haoran said pertinently, “It’s quite delicious and doesn’t hurt my throat.”
Fan Zijin asked, “Isn’t that because it’s still tender?”
Mu Yangling nodded. “We can only eat it like this for about ten more days. The corn grows old very quickly. When the time comes, we can only harvest it, dry it, peel off the corn kernels, crush it, and cook corn porridge with it.” Mu Yangling thought for a moment and said, “But I think this is more fit for pigs.”
Great-aunt widened her eyes and said, “Whose pig is so blessed to be able to eat corn? No matter how bad corn tastes, it can’t be worse than chaff, right? Every year, when there’s a shortage of crops, it’s not uncommon to eat chaff for a month.”
Shu Wanniang also nodded. “If this thing can be used as grains to fill one’s stomach, it can indeed save many people. Ah Ling, don’t say anything about feeding this to the pigs lest it causes a misunderstanding should outsiders hear it.”
In the end, Qi Haoran took a basket of corn from Mu Yangling and asked someone to send it to Qi Xiuyuan.
Qi Haoran originally wanted Big Brother to try it too, but Qi Xiuyuan called him back overnight and even specially asked the messenger to bring Fan Zijin and Mu Yangling along.
Mu Yangling had just finished watering the wheat and rice fields and was about to sleep, but as soon as she lay down, she was pulled up. When she heard that she had to go to the prefectural capital, Mu Yangling immediately rejected that person. “I have to be at home in the middle of the night. If my house is robbed, I have to be at home to protect the old, weak and young at home.”
Qi Haoran glared at her and said, “I’ll get someone to stand guard at the door. Nobody will dare to barge in. Hurry up and get up. Big Brother is waiting in the prefecture capital.”
Mu Yangling could only get up, put on a shirt, and climb onto the horse in a daze.
Qi Haoran saw that although Mu Yangling’s eyes were half-closed, she didn’t even sway when she walked. Looking at her in a different light, he jumped onto the horse and started galloping away.
Fan Zijin followed behind him.
