After Mu Feng brought these people back to the tribe, he directly peeled off all the corn kernels.

Corn threshing was a simple job in the previous life, just send the dried corn cobs directly to the thresher.

But there are no such conditions around now, so Mufeng can only choose to threshing by hand—this is a delicate and labor-intensive job.

Fortunately, there were a lot of people in the tribe, and it didn't take too much energy to peel the corn kernels manually. Under Li Hu's call, all the tribesmen who could come came, and it took less than half an hour. All the cobs are turned into kernels.

All corn kernels are prepared separately from the cobs.

The members of the Jiang clan didn't leave after threshing the corn kernels, they all looked at Mu Feng curiously, to see how he handled the corn they had never seen before.

After all, Li Hu had told them before coming that corn would be the main food of the tribe in the future.

But when they were threshing just now, almost everyone pinched a corn and put it in their mouths, and then spit it out without exception.

As the leader, Li Hu asked everyone's thoughts: "Chief, now that the corn cobs have been separated from the corn kernels, what should we do next?"

"Next, we need to separate the corn kernels by size. The small ones are kept for us to grind into flour and eat, and the big ones are kept as seeds to plant, so that we can grow bigger corns in the future!"

Mu Feng squatted down, reached out and grabbed a handful of corn kernels, and began to demonstrate: "Put the big ones here as seeds, and put the others here!"

Li Hu imitated Mu Feng and reached out to grab a handful and began to sift, picking left and right, but he couldn't pick up a few that were the same size as Mu Feng.

"The Great Chief!" Li Hu couldn't help but said, "If we really want to pick as big as you said, there aren't many here!"

Mu Feng smiled and said: "There are not many corn seeds in the first place, and one seed can grow a corn in the future!"

"I understand!" Li Hu waved his hand, "Everyone, start sifting seeds now!"

So the Jiang clan began to sift the seeds with corn kernels in their hands, and within half an hour, all the corn kernels were sifted again.

"What are you doing now?" Li Hu asked again.

Everyone also looked at Mufeng with strange eyes, obviously they still don't understand what they are doing.

Mu Feng thought for a while, then he had an idea, and said: "It's almost noon, sir, cook on fire, kill 20 chickens, then take all the mushrooms from me, wash them, and make soup!"

Li Hu's eyes lit up: "Great Chief, are you going to make soup?"

"Yeah!" Mu Feng nodded, "Pull some more wild onions, and ask Bai Ya to bring some bamboo shoots, wash them and stew them in soup."

People in the tribe look at me and I look at you. Apart from knowing what "chicken" is, other "mushrooms", "wild onions" and "bamboo shoots" don't know what they are.

Li Hu laughed and said, "Don't worry, chief, I can already make soup!"

As he said that, he yelled at the people in the tribe: "Go, get the biggest stone pots in the tribe, and I will use the method taught by the great chief to make the most fragrant and delicious chicken soup!"

Ming Guang on the side couldn't help but leaned close to Mu Feng and whispered, "Great chief, don't you want to raise chickens, why are you killing so many at once?"

Mu Feng laughed and said: "You see, everyone doesn't know what the purpose of screening corn seeds is, so I will let everyone know that there are many things that can be eaten."

Li Hu's eyes lit up: "That's right, the tribe doesn't know that bamboo shoots and mushrooms are edible!"

Mu Feng nodded: "After drinking chicken soup, eating mushrooms and bamboo shoots, they will naturally understand that corn can also be made into delicious food! Everyone will know what to do next!"

Ming Guang suddenly realized: "I understand!"

After a pause, he asked carefully, "But, chief, the corn kernels are so hard, how do you eat them?"

Mu Feng smiled and said: "Didn't I say it before, now that it grows like this, it can only be ground into flour and steamed into steamed buns to eat, and when it is planted again, when the bracts are not yellow, they can be broken off and eaten raw, or they can be boiled and eaten. Sweet and soft, very delicious!"

Ming Guang couldn't help swallowing: "Then plant it now, can we eat it tomorrow?"

Mu Feng smiled and shook his head: "How is it possible. It will take at least two or three months... seven or eighty days?"

Suddenly, the system in Mu Feng's mind suddenly said: "Judging from the environment around you, the maturity period of corn is two months!"

"Huh?" Mu Feng's heart moved, "Can you still judge this?"

System: "The system can make comprehensive judgments based on the host's environment and issue tasks based on it. Naturally, it can also judge the ecological environment around the host!"

"I'm going! So advanced!" Mu Feng thought to himself, "The maturity period is two months. Doesn't that mean that green corn can be eaten in forty or fifty days?"

The system added another sentence: "If you combine the wood path derivation technique and the thick soil technique together, this growth period can be shortened by half!"

"I'll go!" Mu Feng exclaimed again, not only because of the power of the two techniques, but also because he thought of the achievement points needed to redeem the "Thickness of Earth Technique" - 5000 points!

"Sixty days has been shortened to thirty days!" Mu Feng couldn't help sighing, "It seems that the skill CD in the game has become shorter!"

Here Ming Guang heard Mu Feng say "seventy or eighty days", and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Such a long time?"

But he immediately laughed happily again: "If these corns are really filling and delicious, it's okay to wait for so long. After all, you don't have to venture out to hunt... Oh, this chicken soup is too delicious!"

As he said that, Ming Guang hurriedly yelled and approached Li Hu: "I said Li Hu, the taste of your soup is almost as good as that made by the great chief!"

And the rest of the tribe also stretched their necks around a few stone jars, with intoxicated faces...
