Mu Feng led a dozen people to cat in the bushes, quietly waiting for the wild boar to finish eating and leave.

After the last wild boar left from the corn stalk, Mu Feng finally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and rushed out cheering.

Li Hu, Ming Guang and the others were very puzzled, and they all shouted: "Great Chief!"

Mu Feng turned his head and waved at them: "Come and see!"

They were very puzzled, walked out from the bushes, and approached Mu Feng.

Mu Feng smoothly broke off a corn cob from a corn stalk that had not yet been knocked down, and stretched out his hand to peel off the bract, revealing a corn ear about ten centimeters in length.

Because it is wild, the ear of corn is very small, and it cannot be compared with the 20 to 30 centimeters long ear that Mufeng has seen in his previous life.

Even the corn kernels are quite small, round and toot, and it takes two or three to be equal to a modern one.

Even so, Mu Feng still smiled from ear to ear.

"Look, this is what I'm looking for this time!" Mu Feng laughed.

"Great Chief, what is this?" Li Hu looked at Mu Feng who was full of excitement, and went in without knowing it.

"It's called corn, it's edible!" Mu Feng patiently explained.

"Eatable?" After Li Hu heard about it, he stretched out his hand and broke off a corn stalk, pushed aside the bract, and gnawed it while holding it.

But immediately he spat out the corn kernels with a "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Ming Guang, Shuo Feng and others at the side also broke the corn to taste, but after hearing what Li Hu said, they threw the corn on the ground again.

"Don't throw it away!" Mu Feng said anxiously, "This is fully mature corn, so of course you can't eat it like this! Only when the bracts on it are still green can be eaten raw!"

"Ah?" Li Hu frowned, "Then this thing can't be eaten now, or do you want to use it to feed wild boars?"

Mu Feng smiled and shook his head: "This corn is already ripe, and it can be eaten. But it's not eaten directly, it needs to be ground into corn flour, and then steamed into steamed buns to eat!"

"Grind it into powder and steam it?" Li Hu repeated with a puzzled look on his face.

Others are also puzzled.

It is obvious that what Mu Feng said has exceeded their cognition.

Mu Feng naturally also saw their confusion, and waved his hands with a smile: "Okay, you will understand in the future. What we have to do now is to break as much corn as possible, and then bring it back to the tribe!"

"Great Chief, will you eat the corn after you break it off?" Someone asked.

"En!" Mu Feng nodded, "Part of it is used to grind into flour for eating, and part of it is reserved for seeds to be planted! In the future, tribal food will no longer be a problem!"

"Ah?" The man exclaimed, "Would anyone eat such an unpalatable thing?"

"Unpalatable?" Mu Feng smiled mysteriously, "It's something made of corn that you haven't eaten before, and you'll know it when you eat it!"

That heart warmed, he didn't expect Mu Feng, as a great chief, to explain to himself so kindly and patiently.

If this was placed on the old chief, he would definitely be too lazy to say a word.

Hearing Mu Feng said that he wanted to go back to grow corn, and that corn can be used as food, everyone moved.

They all carried bamboo cages that were used to catch piglets, but are now used to hold corn.

Under the guidance of Mu Feng, all the corn was peeled off the husks, and the smooth corn cobs were kept in the pig cage.

Except for Mu Feng's accident, each cage of the rest of the people had no less than a hundred catties of corn on the cob.

Especially Lihu and Mingguang, although they clamored that corn was not good to eat, they were quite unambiguous when they heard that corn could be used as food, and each carried nearly 200 catties of corn on the cob!

Mu Feng looked at a large piece of corn stalks in the distance, with corn cobs hanging on them, and felt that there were not enough people to carry them.

But fortunately, the ten or so people brought enough corn at the moment, in addition to sifting the seeds, it was enough to eat a few meals.

A dozen or so people carefully avoided the bush where the wild boar was, and returned to the road up the mountain smoothly.

Holding a corn cob in his hand, Mufeng broke off a large corn kernel and chewed it in his mouth a few times. It felt a little hard, obviously because the starch content was not too high.

He knew in his heart that this was because the corn was wild, and if he wanted to have a high starch content, he could only cultivate it continuously.

But he was still very happy in his heart.

Because the appearance of corn made him realize that his environment seemed not so limited. Even corn could be found, so what about other crops?

Once the tribe has planted corn on a large scale and domesticated various livestock, they will no longer have to worry about food and clothing.

And the people in the tribe can only think about other things when their stomachs are full.

But right now, what he wants to think about is where the corn is suitable, and how to grind the corn kernels into flour.

"Corn can only be grown in the flat area at the foot of the mountain to the west of the tribe, where the terrain is open and the soil looks fertile."

"As for grinding cornmeal... It seems that we need to make a stone mill!" Mu Feng thought.

"System, hand in the task!"

The system immediately prompts: "Obtain edible corn, get 300 achievement points!"

"Huh?" Mu Feng was surprised, "Isn't it worth 200 points to eat?"

"Corn is a crop and has a profound influence in history, and the achievement points should be higher!"

"Hahaha!" Mu Feng laughed loudly, "It's a surprise!"
