I am the chief of a primitive tribe

Mu Feng carried the corn stalks back and broke off the corn when passing by the sheepfold, and threw the whole corn stalk into the sheepfold.

In the past, when he was herding sheep, the sheep would dive into the cornfield and nibble on the corn leaves when he was not paying attention - sheep not only like salty food, but also sweet food!

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

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

"Corn?" Bai Ya's big eyes sparkled, and her pretty face was full of surprise, "This is the corn you said you could eat before, why is it different from the one you brought back before?"

"These are not fully mature yet, they are relatively tender, and can be eaten raw or cooked. Try it!" As he said, Mu Feng handed her a corn.

Bai Ya frowned, holding the corn with husks, and looked at Mu Feng eagerly: "Are you going to eat it raw?"

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

Bai Ya finally reacted, her pretty face flushed, a little shy, peeled the husks, first put it close to her small nose and smelled it, and said curiously: "What is this smell, is it delicious?"

Mu Feng smiled and said: "You will know if you try it, it's delicious!"

Bai Ya took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision, took a bite, and then her eyebrows stretched, her eyes lit up, and her face was full of surprise: "Oh, it's so sweet!"

"I didn't lie to you!" Mu Feng smiled proudly, "It will be delicious when it's cooked!"

"You can also cook it?" Bai Ya was surprised.

"Of course!" Mu Feng said with a smile, "Go and call Uncle Li Hu, Uncle Ming Guang and the others over, and tell them that I will treat them to boiled corn today!"

"Okay!" Bai Ya left happily, and after running a short distance, he did not forget to turn back and shouted to Mu Feng playfully, "You have to wait for me to come back before boiling corn!"

Mu Feng said with a smile: "Don't worry, boiling corn is very simple, you will learn it once you see it!"

"Okay!"

Soon Bai Ya called Li Hu and Ming Guang.

When the two heard that it was Mu Feng who asked them to come over to eat, they swallowed their saliva several 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 coming, Mu Feng first took a corn and broke it into two pieces and handed it to them, letting them taste it, and then he asked Bai Ya to peel off the bracts, wash it, put it in a pottery pot, add water, and start a fire.

This surprised Bai Ya. She blinked her big eyes and asked, "Brother Mufeng, is it so simple to cook corn? Don't you need to add salt, mushrooms, etc?"

"No!" Mufeng laughed, "This is not soup! But you reminded me that tender corn kernels can be used to make porridge if you cut them with a knife!"

As he said this, he took two corns, peeled and washed them, cut the rice kernels with a knife, put them in another pot, and added water to cook porridge.

While cooking with Bai Ya, he turned to ask Li Hu and Ming Guang: "How is the fresh corn?"

Li Hu said as he ate it: "It tastes weird, a little sweet and a little sticky."

Ming Guang also nodded and said: "It tastes good, but it's a little less!"

Mu Feng smiled and said: "That's good, our corn fields are now full of corn like this, we can break it off and feed it to the tribesmen. It doesn't matter whether it's eaten raw or cooked!"

The two were surprised: "Chief, are you saying that our tribe has new food?"

"Yes!" Mu Feng nodded and said, "Let the tribesmen eat more corn, and match it with wild vegetables and bamboo shoots. Only by eating all kinds of food can the body's nutrition be balanced, so that life will be longer!"

"Match, nutritional balance?" The two obviously didn't understand these two words.

But when they heard "life will be longer", they immediately understood: "Great Chief, you mean that if we only eat meat, our people will not live long, right?"

"Yes!" Mu Feng nodded and said, "People who only eat meat will not live as long as those who eat both meat and vegetables! Just like animals in the wild, animals that eat grass live longer than those that eat meat."

"Why?" Mingguang asked, "If our people also eat grass, will our life be longer?"

Mu Feng laughed dumbly: "How is it possible? There has never been a human who eats grass. We eat vegetables! As for why eating grass and vegetables can live longer..."

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

He only knew that in nature, herbivores generally live longer than carnivores, and in the human world, vegetarians generally live longer than those who like to eat meat.

Just like the monks and nuns in many temples in the previous life, all are old centenarians.

Before he could explain, Li Hu knocked Ming Guang: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? The chief said that we should eat corn, so we eat corn. Will the chief harm us?"

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

Mu Feng smiled and waved his hand: "Let's put it this way, our bodies can't stand eating meat all the time. Only when we eat meat, vegetables, and grains like corn, we can live longer. Do you understand?"

"Oh, I understand, I understand!" Ming Guang said uncertainly.

Mu Feng laughed dumbly. He guessed that Ming Guang didn't understand it, but just remembered that he said to eat all kinds of food together.

Not long after, steam came out of the pottery pot, and the corn was cooked.

The unique fragrance of corn wafted out of the pot of corn and the pot of porridge at almost the same time.

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

"Of course!" Mu Feng used chopsticks to pick up the corn, and then handed one to each of the three people, smiling and saying, "It's a little hot, blow it before eating!"

The three did as they were told, and started to eat the corn without waiting for it to cool down completely.

"Hmm!" Bai Ya said in a vague voice while eating the corn, "Boiled corn is delicious!"

Li Hu and Ming Guang didn't bother to talk, just holding the corn and eating it!

Mu Feng also picked up a corn, took a deep breath, and looked intoxicated: "It's still a familiar taste!"

Then he took a big bite and chewed it hard, and then he felt that the past two days were not in vain.

Then, he picked up the ceramic bowl and served each of them a bowl of corn porridge - to be precise, boiled corn kernels.

But it was precisely this kind of thing that could just solve the feeling of bloating and choking when they ate corn at this time.

The three of them held the corn porridge and started drinking it, which tasted wonderful.
