Mufeng went back with the corn stalks on his shoulders, broke off the corn as he passed the sheepfold, and threw the whole corn stalks into the sheepfold.

In the past, when the sheep were herding sheep, they would plunge into the corn field and eat the leaves of corn if they didn’t pay attention to him. Sheep not only like salty food, but also sweet food!

Coincidentally, Bai Ya happened to pass by the sheepfold, seeing Mu Feng's actions, he couldn't help asking, "Brother Mu Feng, what are you doing?"

"Feed the sheep!" Mu Feng explained with a smile, "Hey, look, this is corn, and those are corn stalks. Sheep like to eat it too!"

"Corn?" Bai Fang's big eyes sparkled, his pretty face was full of wonder, "This is the edible corn you said before, why is it different from the one you brought back?"

"These are not fully ripe, they are relatively tender, they can be eaten raw or cooked, you have a taste!" Said, Mu Feng handed her a piece of corn.

Bai Fang frowned, holding the corn with husks with embarrassment on his face, he looked at Mu Feng desperately: "Is it just eating it raw like this?"

"Of course not!" Mu Feng laughed, "You have to peel off the bract leaves and eat the rice inside!"

Only then did Bai Fang come to his senses, his pretty face blushed, a little shy, peeled off the bracts, first leaned up to Xiaoqiao's nose and smelled it, and asked strangely: "What kind of smell is this, is it delicious?"

Mu Feng said with a smile: "You will know once you taste it, it's delicious!"

Bai Fang took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, he took a bite, then his brows stretched out, his eyes lit up, and his face was full of surprise: "Ah, so sweet!"

"Didn't lie to you!" Mu Feng smiled triumphantly, "It will be delicious when cooked!"

"Can you still cook it?" Bai Fang was surprised.

"Of course!" Mu Feng said with a smile, "Go and call Uncle Lihu and Uncle Mingguang over, and say that today I will treat them to boiled corn!"

"Okay!" Bai Fang left happily, and after running for a short distance, he still didn't forget to turn his head and shout at Mu Feng playfully, "You have to wait until I come back to cook the corn!"

Mu Feng said with a smile: "Don't worry, cooking corn is very simple, just look at it!"

"it is good!"

Soon Bai Fang called Li Hu and Ming Guang.

When the two of them heard that it was Mu Feng who asked them to come and eat, they swallowed a few times along the way.

They all knew that every time Mu Feng asked them to try new food, the taste was extremely delicious, something they had never tasted before.

Seeing the two people approaching, Mu Feng first took a piece of corn and broke it into two pieces and handed them to them for a taste, then he asked Bai Fang to peel off the bract leaves, wash them and put them in a clay pot, add water, and start light a fire.

This surprised Bai Fang very much, she asked with wide eyes, "Brother Mufeng, is it so simple to cook corn, don't you need to add salt, mushrooms or something?"

"No need!" Mu Feng laughed, "This is not cooking soup! But you reminded me that tender corn kernels can be used to cook porridge!"

Saying so, he naturally took two corns, peeled and washed them, peeled off the rice grains with a knife, put them in another jar, and mixed them with water to cook porridge.

While cooking with Bai Ya, he turned to Li Hu and Ming Guang and asked, "How is it? How does the fresh corn taste?"

Li Hu gnawed and said, "It tastes weird, a little sweet, and a little sticky."

Ming Guang also nodded and said, "It tastes good, but it's a bit lacking!"

Mu Feng laughed and said, "That's good. Our cornfields are full of corn like this now. They can be broken off and eaten by the tribe. It doesn't matter whether it's raw or cooked!"
The two were pleasantly surprised: "Chief, do you mean that our tribe has new food?"

"Yeah!" Mu Feng nodded and said, "Let the tribe eat more corn, and then mix it with wild vegetables and bamboo shoots. Only by eating all kinds of food can the nutrition in the body be balanced, so that the life span will be longer!"

"Coordination, balanced nutrition?" The two obviously didn't understand these two words.

But when they heard "Longevity will be longer", they immediately understood: "Great Chief, you mean that people who only eat meat will not live longer, do you?"

"En!" Mu Feng nodded and said, "The life span of eating meat alone is not as long as that of eating both meat and vegetables! Just like animals in the wild, animals that eat grass live longer than those that eat meat."

"Why?" Ming Guang asked, "If our people also eat grass, will they live longer?"

Mu Feng couldn't help laughing: "How is it possible, no human race has ever eaten grass, we eat vegetables! As for why the life span of eating grass and vegetables is longer..."

Mu Feng scratched his head, frankly speaking he didn't quite understand.

He only knows that the lifespan of herbivores in nature is generally higher than that of carnivores, and that the lifespan of vegetarians in the human world is generally higher than that of people who like to eat meat.

It's like the monks and nuns in many temples in the previous life are all old birthday stars.

Before he could explain, Li Hu tapped on the bright light: "Why are you talking so much nonsense, the great chief told us to eat corn, so we will eat corn. Could it be that the great chief will harm us?"

"That's not what I meant!" Ming Guang quickly explained.

Mu Feng smiled and waved his hands: "Let's put it this way, our bodies can't stand it if we eat meat all the time. Only when we eat meat, vegetables, and whole grains like corn, with a combination of meat and vegetables, can our lifespan be improved." longer, understand?"

"Oh, I understand, I understand!" Ming Guang said with some uncertainty.

Mu Feng couldn't help laughing, he reckoned that Ming Guang didn't understand, but he just remembered that he said he wanted to eat all kinds of food together.

It didn't take long for steam to rise from the clay pot, and the corn was cooked.

The unique aroma of corn wafts out of the pot of cooking corn and the pot of porridge almost at the same time.

"Ah!" Bai Fang's eyes lit up, his pretty eyes were full of surprise, "Although it's not as fragrant as meat, it smells good too!"

"Of course!" Mu Feng inserted the corn with chopsticks, then handed one to each of the three, and said with a smile, "It's a bit hot, blow it on before eating!"

The three of them followed suit and gnawed on the corn before it completely cooled down.

"Yeah!" White Fang said in an indistinct voice while gnawing on the corn, "The boiled corn is delicious!"

Li Hu and Ming Guang didn't have time to talk anymore, they just gnawed the corn in their arms!

Mu Feng himself picked up a piece of corn, took a deep breath, and said intoxicated, "It's still a familiar taste!"

Then he took a big bite and chewed so much that he felt that he had spent the past two days in vain.

Then he picked up the earthenware bowls and served them each a bowl of polenta—boiled corn kernels, to be precise.

But it is precisely this kind of thing that just relieves their choking feeling from eating corn at this time.

The three of them drank the corn porridge, and it was a wonderful taste.
