The corn in the vegetable garden had been sold out, just as the corn in the field had been harvested, and it was at its tenderest. Lian Manman's family then continued to sell the corn from the field.
During this season, the corn was rapidly filling out and growing solid. It was estimated that this batch of tender corn could only be sold for about ten more days. After that, all they could do was wait for the corn to fully mature and harden before finally harvesting it.
While the cucumber and bean plants were climbing in the vegetable garden, aside from the dozen or so cornstalks reserved for seeds, Lian Shouxin cut down the rest of the cornstalks. The larger cobs had been sold as tender corn, but there were still some smaller, less uniform ones left. Some of these corn cobs were too small, and others had kernels that were too sparse—all in all, they had various kinds of imperfections.
