I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

The next morning, after breakfast, Xu Congyi prepared to make popcorn. The corn kernels were bought from the grain store when she and Li Dahua went to the county town to buy food last time. At that time, Xu Congyi specifically told Li Dahua that the corn kernels should be round and not too big. Although Li Dahua didn't know what her daughter meant, it didn't matter whether it was round or long because it was going into her stomach, so she did as she was told.

The corn kernels used to make popcorn in modern times are different from ordinary corn kernels, so Xu Congyi doesn’t know whether it will work or not. She can only try it. If the corn here can’t make it, she can also go into the space and use Taobao to buy some special popcorn corn kernels as a substitute.

"Mom! Where is the sugar at home? You need sugar to make popcorn."

Li Dahua stood on a wooden stool and took out brown sugar wrapped in oil paper from the bamboo basket hanging on the beam and handed it to Xu Congyi. Xu Congyi opened the oil paper package and saw that the small bag of brown sugar was reluctant to use it. She found an excuse to go back to the house first, slipped into the space, ordered a bag of white sugar and hurried out. Xu Congyi stuffed the white sugar into his arms and returned to the kitchen. Xu Congyi made an excuse to get Li Dahua away. After all, she really couldn't explain the white sugar in the plastic bag.

After sending Li Dahua away, Xu started making popcorn.

Xu Congyi chose to make it on a small clay stove. On the one hand, the fire is easier to control. On the other hand, the small iron pot on the clay stove is not fixed with mud, which makes it easier to operate after the popcorn pops.

She first grabbed a handful of corn kernels and poured them directly into the pot, then added a little bit of oil. The oil here was rapeseed oil made using traditional methods and was dark in color, so she only poured in a little bit. After mixing the corn and oil evenly, she put the pot on the small clay stove.

Xu Congyi held his breath and waited quietly.

"Bang, bang!" two kernels of corn bloomed first.

"It's done!" Xu Cong was overjoyed.

In this way, when you do popcorn business in the future, you can purchase the goods directly without worrying about buying corn kernels from the space and having to go through the open road.

Xu Congyi quickly covered the pot, held the wooden handle of the small iron pot and shook it back and forth over the fire to ensure even heating.

When the sound in the pot gradually died down, Xu Congyi removed the pot from the fire, opened the lid, and put in a handful of corn kernels. The white and plump popcorn filled up most of the pot. Xu Congyi took one while it was still hot, and the taste was exactly the same. Xu Congyi put the pot back on the fire, and mixed some brown sugar from home with the white sugar she bought from the space and put it in the pot in small amounts several times. Of course, she didn't dare to put too much for fear of arousing suspicion. She kept stirring with a spatula until the white and plump popcorn was evenly coated with sugar. Xu Congyi removed the pot from the fire again and put it aside to wait for the popcorn to cool.

When the popcorn was almost cold, Xu Congyi shouted at the top of his voice:

"Grandpa! Grandma! Dad! Mom! Big brother! Second brother! Eat popcorn!!!"

Li Dahua had been washing clothes in the yard. When she smelled the fragrance, she couldn't hold back. If her daughter hadn't said that she could only taste it after she called her, she would have rushed into the kitchen as soon as she smelled it.

So Li Dahua was the first person in the Xu family to arrive at the kitchen except Xu Congyi.

Seeing the popcorn, Li Dahua picked up one with curiosity and observed it. The dry yellow corn kernels became fluffy and white after Xu Congyi's method, and were coated with a thin layer of syrup. When he put it in his mouth, the first bite was sweet. When he bit it with his teeth, the crispy sugar shell and the crispy inner flesh melted with his tongue.

"Delicious, delicious!" Li Dahua praised it highly.

At this time, the other people in the Xu family also washed their hands and came to the kitchen. Seeing Li Dahua said it was delicious, they also followed Li Dahua's example and picked up one and put it in their mouths.

"It's so delicious!" Xu Cong'an exclaimed, and while everyone was still savoring the food, he grabbed a handful and stuffed it all into his mouth. Seeing Xu Cong'an eat so much at once, everyone in the Xu family also started to eat it, and all the popcorn in the pot was gone in a few bites.
