Chapter 74: If even sons cannot be relied upon, of what use are grandsons?

Bai Zhi's gaze turned towards the corn. In Nanning County, where the sunlight was abundant, the corn naturally ripened earlier, and soon, it would be time to pick the corn.

Even though Bai Dan had tried to pick the tenderest ones, some were already getting a bit old, but that was exactly what Bai Zhi needed. Although old, they still had some juice in them.

The tenderest kernels were used for boiling, slightly tender ones for roasting, later to be placed directly into the ashes in the cooking pit. By that time, the residual heat from the fire would be sufficient to roast the corn to perfection.

As for the older ones, it was time to use the stone mill. Bai Zhi cleaned the mill thoroughly.

In those days, every household had a stone mill, perfect for grinding tofu pudding and rice milk.

It had just been a long time since it had been used. For Bai Dan, who was living alone, he ate whatever he had and didn't if he didn't have it.
