Peeling corn husks is actually a bit like peeling onions, it's layer upon layer.
However, when dealing with the old corn, it's clearly a lot simpler and rougher. Grab a few layers from the top and pull down, and you can typically see the full, yellow, plump kernels right away.
Because the old husks don't have much moisture, the layers are somewhat thinner.
But young corn is different.
The outer husks are still supple, progressing through deep green, light green, to milky white, and the corn cob inside is still tender. If you're too rough, sometimes you might ruin it.
So, despite the urgency, everyone could only watch those long, white, slender hands peel layer by layer...
After finally peeling it open, the first thing shown wasn't the corn kernels but a bunch of soft tender green corn silk pulled from the top.
Fans: ...
The soft corn silk in hand has a unique feel, making people want to pluck it, and Song Tan couldn't help but smile:
