Introduction: There was a bumper corn harvest in my hometown recently. My third uncle called me and asked me to go back and help, and pick some corn to eat at home. When I got home, I discovered that this year was a good harvest year for corn. The corn grown by most people in the village was not only full of grains, but also very large, and the selling price was a little higher than in previous years. After helping San Bao pick corn from an acre of land, I quickly cooked a large pot of corn on the firewood stove. During the cooking process, the fragrance of corn spread far and wide, so many children and neighbors in the village came. I sat in front of Sanbo's house and asked me why I could cook corn so fragrantly. The corn I cook at home has a very weak aroma, and my family doesn’t like to eat it!
