Chapter 135 Talking to Smart People is Easy
During the rest of the work the next day, those exiles gathered around Pei Shu'er, asking what novel ways corn had done.

They know that Pei Shu'er knows a lot and is also smart. Pei Shu'er told everyone how to cook potatoes, cabbage and green vegetables.

"Corn kernels can be peeled off and fried with a little oil. If you are too lazy to fry, it is also delicious when cooked."

As for the method of corn kernels, it's not that she's keeping it private, it's just too much trouble to do it.

We don’t have enough time for farming every day. How can we have the time to sit by the millstone and grind for hours.

She just got tired of eating boiled corn, so she taught the people who worked in the kitchen.

That way if she wants to eat it, she can have it made.

When Tang Zan went to the barracks, everyone saw him and surrounded him curiously, wondering what he brought to eat today.

After all, although they can't eat, everyone enjoys watching this recruit eat every day, and they can just eat.

Everyone thought he was Lin Zhi from an ordinary family. If they knew that he was Tang Zan, the murderous grandson, they wouldn't dare to surround him and watch him eat.

When everyone saw the bright yellow corn juice, they couldn't help raising their eyebrows.

"what is this?"

Tang Zan hooked his lips: "My wife made corn juice."

At this moment, Zhang Feng walked in, laughing loudly.

"The last time I went to the barren mountain, I talked to your wife about the corn juice. She said that she would give me a portion when she made it. Is this mine?"

Tang Zan glanced at Zhang Feng, and reluctantly opened the thermos. There were two bowls of corn juice inside.

He pouted towards Zhang Feng, extremely reluctant.

Zhang Feng raised his eyebrows with joy in his eyes.

Before Tang Zan regretted it, he immediately took the bowl of corn juice, poured it into his own bowl, and gulped down the corn juice.

After finishing the drink, he smacked his mouth with a taste, as if reminiscing.

Zhang Feng said: "How can this corn juice be so fragrant?"

Tang Zan lowered his head and drank the corn juice, not wanting to say anything.

Zhang Feng laughed cheaply and said: "Well, anyway, I'm going to the barren mountain soon, and I'll ask her myself then."

Hearing this, Tang Zan's face became even more stinky.

"what ever."

Zhang Feng was in a good mood after letting Shizi down, he smiled and walked out the door.

It happened that he had finished his fermented bean curd, so he would go to Pei Shu'er to ask for some.

I heard that her spicy cabbage, sour cabbage and pickles are all delicious, and I can't miss it.

Half a month later, he went to the barren hills with the procurement officials and several tax collectors.

In the past, he didn't even bother to go.

But now, he always wants to visit the barren mountain.

The crops in that place grow so well, but it has the best scenery in the entire Gulan Mountains.

If he goes to see it, there is hope.

Moreover, every time I go, there are always benefits.

I can also discuss recipes with Pei Shu'er, and then come to the barracks to cook for everyone.

Even General Zhao praised it.

This time I came to the barren mountain to harvest corn. After the corn is harvested, soybeans and green beans should be next.

This corn has grown old, now it is taken away, and then ground into cornmeal, and if it is cooked for everyone to eat, it can last for a while.

It's not that they don't want to use tender corn, it's just that no matter how full they are, everyone will eat too much if they're not careful, and there won't be enough food by then.

In order to save some food, they really took pains.

However, this is really much better than last year.

At this time last year, everyone was digging grass roots to eat. The little land planted by the soldiers did not have much harvest, and some of them did not germinate.

Not to mention the extremely high germination rate like on the barren hills now, the yield per mu is also ridiculously high.

Sanfang's corn yield has reached 900 kilograms per mu, which is much less than the previous land.

But this thing can be used as a staple food, so it is different.

Others also reached 600 kg.

As for the fields of the Huang Lima family who were driven away before, the crops have also doubled.

In fact, everyone started eating the corn when it was tender, and some even gave it to officials.

The officials lit a fire on the mountain and roasted the corn on it, and the smell of corn was all over the hillside.

Also because they grilled corn with the exiles, the few officials stationed in the barren hills were better than the exiles in the barren hills.

Let's not talk about everyone stealing corn.

And these officials are actually guarding everyone for a year.

Once the year is up, these exiles have basically settled down here and become residents of Gulan Mountain, so they don't need to guard them anymore.

Now the time is almost up, and there is no need to be as strict as before.

The officials collected the tax, and Zhang Feng brazenly asked Pei Shu'er for a full five kilograms of fermented bean curd, and at the same time asked Pei Shu'er to give him the method of corn juice.

Pei Shu'er didn't hide his secrets, not only gave him the method, but also broke a large bag of tender corn from the corn field that was planted a little later and brought it back to Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng smiled and said, "By the way, I heard that you were pickling sour cabbage and spicy cabbage before?"

Pei Shu'er smiled: "It's already been packed, and there are pickles, which are divided into three buckets."

Zhang Feng is happy, look, it's easy to talk to smart people.

Because Pei Shu'er knows how to be a human being, and she is kind, tax collection, which was originally a hard job, has now become a favorite.

Zhang Feng even secretly made up his mind in his heart that no one would compete with him in tax collection in the future, and he would come to collect taxes in person.

Afterwards, Pei Shu'er told Zhang Feng many corn recipes, which made Zhang Feng's eyes shine brightly.

"I'll go back and do it right away!"

After Zhang Feng returned, he made corn juice according to Pei Shu'er's method. After that, he not only drank it himself, but also asked several commanders to drink it to connect with each other.

Before that, he also gave General Zhao a big bowl of corn juice.

General Zhao looked at the pale yellow soup: "What is this?"

Zhang Feng said with a smile: "General, try it first?"

General Zhao took a shallow sip, then raised his eyebrows.

"I've never tasted such a sweet thing before. What is it made of?"

Zhang Feng smiled and said, "This is made with corn juice."

General Zhao nodded, drank the corn juice in one gulp, then looked up at Zhang Feng, and raised the bowl in his hand.

Zhang Feng knowingly brought another bowl to General Zhao.

Now General Zhao is satisfied.

"Why haven't I seen you do it before?"

Zhang Feng said with a smile: "This is what Mrs. Pei, the third housekeeper of the Tang family, taught me."

General Zhao raised his eyebrows. In fact, he had heard about this Mrs. Pei many times. She was the one who took the lead in increasing production, and she always seemed to research novel ways of eating.

Even the fermented bean curd.

Thinking of fermented bean curd, General Zhao's saliva secreted frantically.

"Is there any fermented bean curd left?"

Zhang Feng was reluctant to give it, but he still took it with a smile, and subconsciously shrank towards himself when he gave it.

General Zhao glanced at him, and then Zhang Feng gave the fermented bean curd to General Zhao.

This end is making fermented bean curd, while Sanfang's is making popcorn at the moment.

When Pei Shu'er saw the dried corn kernels, she remembered that this stuff can be used to make popcorn!
