Chapter 51 Spreading the Medicinal Value of Corn Silks and Cobs ([-]st update, please support
"Yup."

Ying Xuman had already thought of his words and immediately ordered someone to break off a corn cob.

She tore open the outer skin herself and pointed to the golden corn kernels to Brother Zheng: "Father, look, these are corn kernels. Dry them and grind them into powder."

"You can also eat it roasted as it is, or cooked in water."

"And the corn cob inside can not only be used as firewood for cooking, but it can also be used as medicine."

Speaking of being used as medicine, Ying Xuman quickly looked at Xia Wuji: "By the way, Master Xia, this whisker is also a good thing that can be used as medicine. You can get some and try it."

"really?"

Xia Wuqe became more energetic when he heard this, "Please teach me the princess."

"I have heard this from others, and its specific effects need to be studied slowly by you doctors."

Ying Xuman didn't say anything, but he also provided him with ideas, "I only know that this must be able to cure kidney and gallbladder diseases, and it can also stop diarrhea;"

"This corncob has more functions. It can not only treat kidney, liver, gallbladder and other diseases, but it can be used in many places in daily life."

"I hope Sir Xia Wuqe will do more research and development."

"This... this this this..."

Upon hearing what Ying Xuman said, Xia Wuji was so excited that he was shaking all over, "Well, can you please let me collect all these things later?"

Ying Xuman: "No need to worry, sir. As long as people plant it every year in the future, the whiskers and core will be indispensable."

"But now if you need it, you can collect some and go back for testing."

"However, you have to leave some of this corncob for me. I also want to try what other uses it has."

"Oh, okay, okay, okay."

Xia Qie was not excited and looked at Ying Zheng again: "Your Majesty, please allow me to bring back some corn silk and corn cobs from Your Highness the Princess."

"Since Hua Zhang has promised you, just watch and collect them." Ying Zheng listened to the conversation between the two, joy flashed in his eyes, and his charming eyes fell on his daughter, "I wonder where Xu'er learned this?"

"And where do these seeds come from?"

She was well prepared and quickly answered:

"A few months ago, Erchen, brother Gao, and brother Jianglu went out to the city to play, and they got it from an old farmer."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng didn't show the slightest happiness on his face, but became more serious: "Old farmer?"

"Yeah, he said he is a farmer, but he just has no land to farm."

Knowing that Zu Long would not believe it easily, Ying Xuman had already prepared for this day. No matter how Zu Long asked, she had an excuse.

"At that time, the son saw that he was very hungry, so he took out a dark thing from a pile of ashes and took it out to eat."

"I was frightened, fearing that he would be in bad health, so I gave him the cakes I had brought out, and then she invited me to eat this dark thing."

……

According to Ying Xuman's narration, she followed the royal brothers out of the city to play, and accidentally met an old man who was so hungry that his face was sallow and skinny.

The other party was taking out the black lumps from the ashes to eat, but she stepped forward to stop him and offered him cakes. As a result, the old farmer smiled and gave the black lumps to her.

She shook her head and refused to eat.

Then the old farmer carefully peeled off the roasted black skin on the outside, and there was actually yellow flesh inside, and there was a sweet smell, which made me want to eat it.

The two exchanged food, and later learned from the other party that he had many high-yielding grains imported from foreign countries, but unfortunately there was no place to grow them.

So she exchanged the money and cakes she had with her for the remaining seeds in her pocket, and then quietly planted them in Cuiwei Hall when she came back.
