Start putting the broken corn cobs into the bamboo basket.

After filling it, Li You tried it on and found that it weighed about seventy or eighty kilograms.

This weight is very light for Li You. Even for dad, it is also relatively light.

Li You and his father each picked a pick, and his mother carried one on her back and walked home.

It's not finished yet, so I need to make a few more trips.

Of course, Ling Xiaoru and Mu Qingye also went back together.

After returning home, Li You and the boss's mother poured the corn into the yard.

Just put it in the yard and let the sun dry it. After drying, it will be easier to peel the corn kernels.

All recovered corn cobs must be peeled off and then dried in the sun. Only in this way can they be stored for a long time.

Nowadays, there is a corn thresher that specializes in peeling corn kernels. Using this machine to peel corn kernels, the speed is very fast.

However, generally only people who grow a lot of corn will choose to use machines to remove corn kernels.

If you don’t plant much, people won’t choose to use machines, but will shell corn kernels manually.

For one thing, the quantity is not large, so there is no need to buy a machine. If you pay others to bring the machine to your home for stripping, if the quantity is small, people are not willing to do it.

Because the quantity is small, he earns less money. With this little money, he is too lazy to transport the machine.

Secondly, using a machine to remove the corn kernels is faster, but it can also easily damage the corn kernels.

After the corn kernels are damaged, insects will be more likely to grow during storage.

Therefore, most people in the village actually choose to shell corn kernels by themselves.

The same goes for Li You's family.

Therefore, dry the corn cobs so that you can peel off the corn kernels more easily.

After pouring the corn cobs in the bamboo basket into the yard, Li You did not immediately go back to the field.

Instead, he brought Ling Xiaoru and Mu Qingye into the house and asked them to drink some water and rest for a while.

The two of them stopped following him to the fields.

Ling Xiaoru and Mu Qingye both nodded.

After pouring a glass of water for each of them and letting them pick grapes to eat, Li You picked up the bamboo basket and went to the field with his parents to pick up the remaining corn cobs.

In this way, the three people went back and forth three times, and finally got all the corn cobs back.

Of course, it’s just for that piece of land.

There is also a piece of land that has not been harvested.

It’s 9:30 in the morning. The sun has already come out and the weather is getting hotter. Then we won’t continue to harvest from another field.

We will collect the land tomorrow.

At this time, Mu Qingye asked: "Boss, do you peel the corn kernels by machine or manually?"

Li You said: "There are not many of us, we all peel them manually."

Mu Qingye added: "Then when will we start peeling? Should we peel it now? If we peel it now, everyone will peel it together."

Li You smiled and said: "Your hands are too tender. If you peel this off, your hands will soon turn red and it will be itchy and painful."

Mom and dad also said that they would peel it later and let Mu Qingye have a good rest.

But Mu Qingye said she wanted to try it. She had only shucked corn when eating young corn before, and had never shucked dry corn.

If you want to give it a try, Li You certainly won’t object.

However, peeling this off is definitely more difficult than Mu Qingye imagined. How many can Mu Qingye peel off?

So, Li You nodded and said: "Of course you can. Peel it off. I won't peel it off until it hurts."

Mu Qingye nodded, "Okay."

You can peel this with your bare hands, or you can use a corn cob as a tool. The most common method in the village is to borrow an old-fashioned canvas rubber shoe with a deep anti-slip pattern on the bottom.

Rub the corn cob against the anti-slip pattern on the bottom of the shoe to make the corn kernels fall off quickly.

This method is the fastest, but it is a bit laborious.

If your hands are tender, it will hurt your hands.

Of course, if your hands are tender, no matter what method you use to peel them, it will hurt your hands.

Therefore, Mu Qingye probably won't be able to hold on for long.

Li You found a pair of old-fashioned canvas rubber shoes and a bench. Then he turned the bench down and inserted the shoes into one of the stool legs with the soles facing up.

Then he said to Mu Qingye: "Let me demonstrate it to you."

Mainly to demonstrate to Mu Qingye, Ling Xiaoru must know this method.

Mu Qingye nodded, "Okay."

Li You took a small stool and sat down, then picked up a corn cob, and then rubbed it back and forth on the anti-slip pattern on the sole.

Soon, in less than twenty seconds, all the corn kernels on the corn cob fell off, leaving only a corn cob.

Mu Qingye said: "It's so fast. It seems easy."

Li You smiled and said: "Then you come and try it."

Mu Qingye nodded, "Okay."

Li You gave way.

Mu Qingye sat over, picked up a corn cob, and then imitated Li You and rubbed it on the anti-slip pattern on the sole.

However, not a single corn kernel fell.

Mu Qingye used all his strength, and finally some corn kernels began to fall. However, only a few kernels fell.

A minute passed, and I was panting from exhaustion, and my hands ached. However, only less than one-tenth of the corn kernels fell.

Mu Qingye shook his head helplessly.

She saw that Li You was doing it very easily, and when he stroked it back and forth, the corn kernels fell down like rain, so she thought it was very easy.

Once you get started, you realize that it's not that difficult.

Ling Xiaoru said at this time: "Using this method requires a certain amount of strength. If the strength is too small, it really won't work. I'm not very good at it either."

Mu Qingye nodded helplessly.

Li You smiled and said: "You are weak and have never done it before. Now it is suddenly very difficult to do it. In this way, I will peel half of each corn cob first, and you will peel the rest. You can peel it with your bare hands, or use corn

Cores make tools."

Later, Li You demonstrated how to use corn cobs to make tools?

Mu Qingye nodded, indicating that he knew it. It was easy to do it at a glance.

After Li You peeled almost half of a corn cob, he handed it to Mu Qingye. This will make it much easier to peel. A corn cob is the most difficult to peel at the beginning.

Therefore, someone will borrow a flat-blade screwdriver to drill, drill out a way, and then peel it off.

But this will be better than drilling some of the corn kernels. You can only put the drilled corn kernels aside.

Mu Qingye took the half-peeled corn cob handed to her by Li You, and then used a corn cob of suitable size to make a tool.

Finally, I finished peeling the first corn cob smoothly.

It feels much more relaxed this way.

This is for sure, because Li You has already done the most difficult steps for her.

But even so, Mu Qingye felt that his hands were already burning after peeling off a few corn cobs.

Li You was not surprised when he saw this, it was almost as he expected.

Mu Qingye's hands are not meant for this kind of work.

Then don't continue peeling. Mu Qingye wants to feel it, and Li You just wants to let her feel it. He doesn't really want to start peeling now.

"Does your hand hurt? Then don't continue peeling it off." Li You said.

Mu Qingye nodded. Although she wanted to continue peeling more, her hands really hurt. It felt like just holding the corncob hard in her hands made her hands hurt.

Because the surface of corn cob is very rough.

It seems that he really can't do this job. Mu Qingye is helpless, but there is no other way.

Li You smiled and said: "I haven't done it before, but if I do it suddenly now, it will indeed be more difficult. This is normal."

Mu Qingye nodded.

Then, Li You asked Mu Qingye to rest for a while.

After resting, they will go back to the hotel.

As for these corn cobs, my parents will peel them later in the afternoon.
