When I heard it was a good thing, all the guests became interested and gathered around.

Li You put down the bamboo basket on his back.

"Corn!"

"Baogu!"

Some people say corn, and some people say corn. Corn is also called corn here.

No matter it’s corn or corn, everyone’s eyes light up.

"This corn must have been planted very early and can be eaten now. Most of the corn I saw on the way here has just started carrying babies."

Here, people call the phenomenon of corn cobs growing from corn stalks "carrying dolls".

Just starting to carry the doll means that the corn cob has just grown.

"Is it time to eat the tender corn now?"

"Boss, why did you come back with so many corn cobs?"

"..."

Li You explained the situation and finally said: "If you like to eat tender corn, you might as well buy some. This should be almost the earliest tender corn on the cob here."

"Yes, absolutely. This is the first time this year that I have seen tender corn cobs that are ready to be eaten. I bought two. By the way, how do you sell them?"

Li You looked at Li Donghai and said, "Grandpa Donghai, how did you sell it?"

Li Donghai said: "What I sold in town this morning was five yuan each. Do you think it's suitable?"

"It's suitable. Such big corn cobs, and it's so early. They sell for five yuan each, which is really not expensive. I'll take two."

"I want two too. Take them home and cook them. They are delicious!"

"I like to eat too, so I'll buy two of them too."

"I want one. Take it back and cook porridge for tomorrow morning."

"..."

Many customers said they wanted to buy it right away.

I'm afraid these twenty or so corn cobs won't be enough to sell.

Li Donghai didn't expect this to be the case. He originally thought it would be great if he could sell a few.

I didn't expect it to be so popular.

This made him quite happy.

However, he did not bring corn to the guests immediately, but first handed four corns to Li You and said: "Xiao You, I know you also like to eat young corns. Take these four corns."

Eat."

Li You originally planned to buy a few because he really likes to eat tender corn.

This will be the first time to eat baby corn this year.

Unexpectedly, Li Donghai would give him four as gifts. He couldn't ask for them. He had to buy them with money. So he said: "Grandpa Donghai, I originally wanted to buy a few. Then these four will be considered as my purchases. I will give you the money."

."

After finishing speaking, he took the corn. Then he took out 20 yuan and handed it to Li Donghai.

But Li Donghai repeatedly waved his hands and said that he would definitely not accept it. If Li You insisted on giving money, then he would have no choice but not to set up a stall here.

Li You had no choice but to take the money back and then said, "Thank you, Grandpa Donghai."

Li Donghai was very happy and said that I should thank you. Then he took out the bag and started loading corn for the guests.

Some people want two, and some want one.

Soon, all the corn in the basket was sold out. There are still some customers who have not yet bought it.

"Old man, do you still have some at home? Why don't you go back and break some off to sell?" Customers who didn't buy anything said this to Li Donghai.

Li You also said: "Grandpa Donghai, it's still early, you can go back and break some off to sell. There are still many guests from the county visiting the canyon. They should also buy it when they come back later."<

/p>

Of course Li Donghai would not refuse this kind of thing, so he said happily: "Okay, okay, then I will go back and bring some over."

Li You nodded, "Grandpa Donghai, please slow down and pay attention to safety."

Li Donghai said "Okay" with a smile, then picked up the empty bamboo pole and walked to the parking lot. His steps were vigorous.

"The old man must be over 60, right? Looking at this pace, he is quite strong!"

"That's for sure. If you don't have a strong body, how can you grow such good corn? This corn is really good, long and big."

"This corn looks delicious."

"..."

The guests were very happy looking at the corn in their hands.

Someone pulled off the corn silk and planned to throw it away, saying: "The bracts are enough, but the corn silk is not needed."

Li You saw it and said quickly: "Don't throw it away, don't throw it away. Corn silk is a good thing."

"Huh?"

The customer who was pulling the corn silk stopped what he was doing, looked at Li You, and asked doubtfully: "Boss, are these corn silks useful?"

Li You said: "It's very useful. Corn silk is also called 'dragon whisker'. Do you know this?"

Dragon whiskers?

Some guests shook their heads, having never heard of such a statement.

However, some guests said: "I seem to have heard this saying somewhere. But why is it called dragon's beard?"

Li Youdao: "Because it is of high value. It contains a large amount of crude fiber, crude protein, polysaccharides and crude fat, etc., and has a very wide range of preventive and health care uses. There is a folk saying that 'a corn silk is worth two taels of gold'

.In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a medicinal material called Longxu, which refers to corn silk."

The guests were amazed after hearing this. Can the seemingly inconspicuous corn silk be so awesome?

There is a saying that "a corn silk is worth two taels of gold"?

This is too awesome.

I have gained more knowledge.

"Boss, how do you use this corn silk? Should you eat it directly?" Another customer asked.

Li You smiled and said: "Of course not. When we are cooking the tender corn, we put down the corn silk and cook it together. After the corn is cooked, just drink the water in which the corn has been cooked."

So that’s it.

The guests all nodded. When I cooked corn in the past, I always got all the corn silk clean, and I never drank the water used to boil corn.

Now that I think about it, I feel like I wasted a lot of nutrients.

"But, boss, what are the main benefits of drinking the water in which corn and corn silk are boiled?"

Li You said: "It can diuresis and reduce swelling, clear the liver and promote gallbladder. It has a good therapeutic effect on high blood pressure, gout, etc. If you have high blood pressure or gout at home, you can boil more corn silk to drink this season. It is green and healthy.

There are no side effects, and the taste is okay. It's a little sweet, and although I can't say it tastes too good, it's definitely not unpleasant to drink. Of course, healthy people can also drink more, and drinking it is also good for the body."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The guests all nodded, this is indeed possible. When cooking corn, just cook the corn silk together, which is also very convenient.

It turns out that these corn silks are still precious and cannot be thrown away again.

"After I brought back the two corns today, I boiled the corn silk and corn together. Then I drank the boiled water." A guest said.

Li You nodded, "Okay, okay. This kind of water boiled with whiskers is also called 'dragon whiskers tea'. It can also be drunk as tea."

"Longxu tea?" asked a customer, "I remember that Longxu tea seems to be Fengyang vine tea!"

Li You smiled and said: "Fengyang Vine Tea is indeed also called Dragon Beard Tea. However, Dragon Beard Tea is not just that kind! Everyone can call it Dragon Beard Tea."

The guest also smiled and said: "That's right. By the way, corn itself has high nutritional value, right?"

Li You nodded, "Indeed. As an annual herb of the Gramineae family, corn has a very high vitamin content. It is five to ten times that of rice and wheat. Among all major foods, corn has the highest nutritional value and health care effects."

Niubi!

The guests all gave thumbs up. It seems that we need to eat more corn.

Later, when the old man Donghai comes to sell corn again, buy two more.

At this time, some guests who were catching crabs in the canyon came back.

Holding a transparent bag in your hand, you can clearly see how many crabs are inside.

Everyone's harvest was good, at least a dozen or twenty.

All the guests who were here before gathered around.

"You are back. It looks like the harvest is good! Did you catch any big ones?"
