Chapter 142 141. Popcorn

The old man Xiang broke his leg and lay down in the hospital in the town for more than a week before returning.

It is said that during these two weeks, both Xiang Tao and Xiang Hai only paid a few hundred yuan each, but they did not come back. The reason is that they are not doctors, so it is useless to look at it and waste time.

Rather than wasting that time on the way back, it would be better for them to save and earn a little more money to buy him supplements when the time comes.

Both the old man Xiang and the old lady Zhang agreed, so during this time, it was Xiang Jiao and his wife who were taking care of him in the hospital every day. Occasionally, Xiang Yan would visit him and take turns taking care of him.

On the day the old man came back, Xiang Jiao and his wife sent him back. Before leaving, Xiang Jin and the others stood on the eaves of Aunt Liao's house and heard Xiang Jiao explaining to her son Xu Heng loudly. .

"Xu Heng, don't go back. There are a lot of things at home recently. Your father and I don't have much time to visit your grandfather often. You just stay here and talk to him every day to relieve boredom or something. We will do our best to be filial."

Aunt Liao burst into laughter when she heard this, and Xiang Nan asked her what she was laughing at?
Aunt Liao said, "I'm laughing at what Xiang Jiao said just now. It seems to be the same thing. If you don't know them well, others will believe it."

Following Xiang Nan, he asked first, "Then what if you understand?"

Aunt Liao said, "Of course it's fake."

Following Aunt Liao, she said to the two sisters, "This Xiang Jiao and this Xu Zhibin, these two really don't belong to the same family, they both want to occupy other people's houses everywhere. cheap.

As the saying goes, if the old man's leg is injured for a hundred days, he must take good care of it every day. If you say this, it's unnatural to eat every day. Drinking and serving?

This morning, I saw your grandma and that Xiang Zhen holding a lump of meat, ribs and bones in their hands. Let alone the meat weighs three or four catties, and the ribs and bones weigh several catties and tens of catties together. .

That Xiang Jiao and that Xu Zhibin left that Xu Heng here, so they let him relieve the old man's boredom, they clearly let him stay here to grow fat," said the smile on her face. It's a little thicker.

Xiang Nan pouted, with a look of contempt on her face, "If you take advantage, you will take advantage of it, and what you say is so high-sounding, it's just hypocrisy!"

Xiang Jin didn't say a word, watching Xiang Jiao and Xu Zhibin get on their motorcycles and leave quickly, her brows furrowed involuntarily, damn it, let her run away again!
Could it be that she really wants to avenge that vengeance on that brat Xu Heng?

No, no, no, Xiang Jin shook her head immediately, the debtor has the owner, she still prefers to find the debtor directly instead of venting her anger!
Besides, he was just a nasty little brat, although he was a little bit nasty, but he was far from being beaten up by her, and Xiang Jin hadn't reached the point of being unreasonable either.

Therefore, she still has to wait for this opportunity to deal with her, and look for another one!

After Xiang Jin sighed in frustration, she turned around and went into her room to continue writing her article.

Two days later, the town was on the spot, and Xiang Jin was going to the town to buy, so she sealed up several manuscripts she had written before in envelopes, and then sent them out according to the addresses on the receipt.

I just hope that her first submission can be smoother, so that she can live up to her serious ideas in the past few days.

When Xiang Jin came home after buying some good things, he just walked to the door of Grandma Mo's house and met two groups of people head-on. One group was Xiang Nan and Xiang Yao who were holding a scoop of corn kernels. Holding a handful of popcorn, the other is Han Che alone, and he is also holding half a shaukeen of corn kernels in his hand.

Seeing her come back, several people greeted her warmly, and Xiang Yao even stuffed some popcorn into her hand, "Sister Xiang Jin, eat popcorn."

Looking at the warm popcorn in his hand, Xiang Jin frowned immediately, looked at them and said, "Who are you?"

Xiang Yao was the first to say, "Sister Xiang Jin, we have a fryer of popcorn in Wantou, and they are frying it in our courtyard. I told Xiang Nan, and Xiang Nan said that she also wanted to fry some corn. "

Xiang Jin put one in his mouth and ate it, then asked Han Che beside him, "Are you going to fry popcorn too?"

Han Che nodded, "Well, it's quite strange, I'll go and have a look."

Xiang Jin looked at the shaukei he was holding in his hand, and the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably, "You bring so much corn to fry, I'm afraid your shaukei won't be able to hold it?"

Han Che stared at the corn in his hand and showed a hint of doubt, "This is a lot?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "A lot, I guess you have to fire three or four pots before others can finish it for you, and you have to carry a backpack to pretend it might be done."

"Ah, so many?" Han Che was immediately surprised.

Xiang Jin nodded, "The corn will expand at that time, it will take up space," and then she turned her gaze to Xiang Nan, "Do you want popcorn?"

"Well," Xiang Nan nodded vigorously.

Then Xiang Jin said, "Just now I ate the popcorn that Xiang Yao gave, and to be honest, the taste is just average. Let's go, if you want to eat, I'll go back and fry it for you."

Everyone present was surprised, including Yan Chen who came suddenly, "You still fry popcorn?"

Xiang Jin said, "It shouldn't be too difficult, you can try it."

Xiang Nan's face suddenly collapsed, "Huh? Try it? Then what if it doesn't work, what will others do?" Isn't she unable to eat popcorn?

Xiang Jin glanced at her angrily, "Let's just leave. If you can't eat popcorn, you can still eat meat. Which meat is better or the popcorn? If you think the popcorn is better Eat, then don't eat the meat at noon."

The little girl Pianzi didn't believe her, she was just looking for training!
Hearing what she said, the little girl immediately yelled at her unconvinced, "Sister, why are you so over the top, you know how to blackmail me all day long?"

Xiang Jin raised an eyebrow at her, "What are you talking about? Do you want popcorn? If you want it, go back and cook it for me!"

Xiang Nan said, "Grandma is cooking, and both pots are occupied, how can I cook them?"

Han Che hurriedly said, "Then why don't we cook at our house, we haven't cooked yet?" He winked at Yan Chen who was beside him.

Sure enough, Xiang Jin looked at her asking for advice, and then Yan Chen nodded, "Well, our family won't be cooking until a while later." He also wanted to know what the taste of the popcorn she made was like. .

Xiang Jin nodded, and then agreed heartily, "Okay, then I'll put the things back first."

Several people nodded, and then went back home. Of course, this group of people only included Xiang Jin, Yan Chen, and Han Che, while Xiang Nan and Xiang Yao followed Grandma Mo and the others with their ladles Home is waiting.

After Xiang Jin went back and gave the things to her grandmother, she went directly to Grandma Mo's house, and then Han Che hurried up and asked, "What should I do?"

Xiang Jin said, "First wash out the corn kernels, then wipe off the moisture on them with a clean handkerchief or napkin, and then prepare an aluminum pot with a lid, and wipe off the moisture in the aluminum pot. "

Then Han Che hurriedly said, "I'll go, I'll go!"

Xiang Jin shouted right behind him, "Don't wash the corn too much, half a bowl is enough, let's try."

"Understood!" Han Che waved at her without looking back. Seeing his enthusiasm, Xiang Jin was really embarrassed to fail to make that popcorn.

Yan Chen then asked, "Then what's next?"

Xiang Jin asked him, "Do you have white sugar at home?"

"Yes, I have!"

Xiang Jin said, "That's a little bit."

Yan Chen took out the white granulated sugar for her from the kitchen cabinet, and told Xiang Jin that he would need some sesame oil then.

Then Yan Chen let her out the oil again.

After a while, Han Che came to tell her that he had prepared the corn according to what she had just told her, and then Xiang Jin asked Xiang Nan to cook the pot.

When Grandma Mo found out, she trotted in from the outside and said with a smile, "I'll burn it, I'll burn it!"

Xiang Jin was not polite to her either, and then stood in front of the stove and waited for the pot to preheat, while the others stood not far behind her, watching her make the popcorn method later.

Not long after, the pot was hot. Xiang Jin first poured a little cooking oil into the pot and heated it up, then poured the drained corn kernels into the pot and stir-fried, then added a little white sugar into it, Continue to stir-fry, and after the corn kernels pop two or three, quickly pour the corn into the aluminum pot that was prepared before, then cover the pot, lift it up and shake it repeatedly.

After about a minute or two, Xiang Jin lifted the lid of the pot, and saw that most of the pot was filled with popcorn. Everyone was amazed.

"Well, it's okay, you guys have a taste too," Xiang Jin picked one up, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and then invited everyone.

She gave up her seat, Han Che grabbed a handful out of it first, and then began to taste it seriously, while Yan Chen directly poured out a bowl for Xiang Nan and Xiang Yao for them to eat outside .

The two were overjoyed immediately, and ran out holding the bowl, and then Yan Chen asked his grandmother to taste the popcorn made by Xiang Jin, and Grandma Mo readily agreed.

Then the grandpa and grandson took a few of them and began to taste them seriously.

Then Xiang Jin asked how they were feeling, and Yan Chen nodded, "Well, it's delicious, with a hint of sweetness, and it's more moist than the popcorn outside."

Xiang Jin said, "That's because I added sugar and cooking oil to it."

After Han Che finished eating the popcorn in his hand, he came to get it again, and then asked, "Hey, why did you keep shaking that aluminum pot just now?"

Yan Chen asked, "Is it to let the corn kernels inside be heated evenly?"

Xiang Jin looked at him approvingly, then nodded vigorously, "Well, then they can explode more fully."

Han Che suddenly nodded, "Oh, so that's how it is. Alas, I'll try to make a pot later. When I go back to the city and want to eat it, I'll make it at home."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, it's ok, I made it clean and hygienic."

After making two more pots with them, Xiang Jin led Xiang Nan back home, but before leaving, they took a lot of popcorn from Grandma Mo and the others, even Grandma Xiang Yaomo They all packed a big bag for her and went back.

On the way, Xiang Yao said, "Sister Xiang Jin, if I had known that you were so good at making popcorn, our family would not have asked that popcorn maker to make it today. It is delicious and cost money, but I ate it anyway." After the popcorn you made, I don't want to eat the popcorn at my house."

Xiang Nan also nodded vigorously there, "Mmm, yes!"

The corners of Xiang Jin's mouth curled up, and then he stretched out his hand and lightly squeezed the buns on Xiang Yao's chubby face, "If you want to eat popcorn in the future, come to our house and tell me, I'll make it for you."

"Well, okay, thank you, sister Xiang Jin!"

"No thanks!" After that, the sisters Xiang Jin broke up with her, and everyone went home.
