Chapter 91 Let’s go to the market! (Please subscribe)

Sun Jianping squatted by the fire, grabbed a handful of popcorn and threw it into his mouth. He stared at the creaking popcorn machine. He also wanted to give it a try, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. The most precious thing these days is food. , if he was not careful and a pot of raw beans collapsed, he would definitely resent him to death without saying anything.

It was getting dark, and the cold wind blew the sparks in the brazier, making the charcoal crackle. The women in the village came over carrying small cloth bags and lined up to pop popcorn.

After eating a few pots, Old Man Cheng went to feed the cows and horses. The little donkey was lying comfortably on the ground and taking a nap. There was a bang and the donkey jumped up in fright. He raised his two donkey ears to listen outside.

"Uncle Cao, let me try it!"

After all, Sun Jianping couldn't resist the temptation of this thing. Seeing that Lao Cao was tired from shaking, he took the initiative to ask for help.

"Jianping, take your time and turn it around. Don't worry. Just wait until the air pressure pointer reaches '8'. Then hold down the ignition head, otherwise it will all be blurred."

Lao Cao was earnest and good at tempting people. Sun Jianping hummed, took the handle, and started shaking it slowly.

The friction between iron and iron made a squeaking sound, which was very much like the old bicycle at home. He stared at the flickering charcoal fire in the brazier, his thoughts wandering, and he thought of his parents again.

When he was a child, his father often took him to work on his bicycle. When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, he would always take out two cents and let him buy candy by himself...

The days go by so fast!
I will be eighteen years old after the Chinese New Year, and I will look like an adult. In my father’s time, at the age of eighteen, you could already start a family and live a happy life, but my eighteen years old...

"Brother, it's about to explode!"

Xiao Yueyue shouted, which woke Sun Jianping out of his memories. He quickly glanced at the air pressure gauge, wasn't it? It was almost reaching "9"!

He stood up in a hurry, picked up the iron lump weighing more than 20 kilograms and stuffed it into a large sack. He also imitated Uncle Cheng and shouted, "Get out of the way, the popcorn is popping!"

With a bang, it was like a big firecracker was set off on the ground. With a muffled sound, the strong pressure sprayed out the heated corn grains. When they came into contact with the air, they expanded and turned into white "flowers".

puff!
High-strength air pressure spurted out, blowing across the ground, causing the snowflakes in the corners to fly, and causing the charcoal fire in the brazier to light up.

"This pot is good!" Lao Cao grabbed a handful and tasted it, nodding with satisfaction.

"Whatever Jianping learns, look at it, it's better than what Lao Cao did." Xu Jingui's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xu Wang, praised her highly. After giving some to the children who were watching, she gave the rest to the children. Fold it into a cloth bag and carry it home.

"Dad, Jianping, I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I baked two cakes for you."

Li Xiuzhi came over with a cloth bag, took out two steaming pancakes, and handed them to the two of them. She turned to look at several women from the same village who were still in line, "Do we still have to wait for a while?"

"Come on, sister-in-law." Sun Jianping took the dough and took a bite. It was a little sweet. He glanced at Li Xiuzhi in surprise. Li Xiuzhi pursed her lips and smiled, then grabbed a piece of wood and put it into the brazier.

My sister-in-law is so nice...

Sun Jianping thought secretly.

After Lao Cao ate the pancakes, he entered Old Man Cheng's small adobe house. The two old men were eating popcorn and drinking tea. Li Xiuzhi came over and quietly stuffed a bag into Sun Jianping's pocket.

Sun Jianping took a look through the firelight and was stunned!
It's rice!
"The thing that pops up during the Chinese New Year in our family is rice popcorn. I'm thinking that you can give me some popcorn later to satisfy my craving." Li Xiuzhi was a little embarrassed. After all, she was a mother. If someone heard about it, they would think that Lao Cao I married a greedy wife.

Seeing the rice, Sun Jianping rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, just hold it up!"

After firing several shots in succession, it was finally the turn of the two kilograms of rice.

Sun Jianping poured the rice into the warm popcorn machine without adding saccharin. He simply screwed on the lid and placed it on the charcoal fire to slowly rotate.

Six or seven minutes later, there was a loud bang, and rice flowers flew out like raindrops and fell into the sack, as if it had snowed.

"Rice is better than corn, and it tastes different..." Sun Jianping helped her put the rice flakes into a cloth bag. Li Xiuzhi was really greedy, so she grabbed a handful and stuffed it into her mouth while no one was around, chewing it. .

So fragrant!
The taste of hometown...

"Sister-in-law, how much rice do we have?" Sun Jianping asked as he dug out the last grain of rice from the sack and threw it into the sack.

"There are still ten kilograms left. What new tricks do you want to do?" Li Xiuzhi gave him a handful of rice crackers and asked with a smile. "It's delicious!" Sun Jianping looked at the snow-white and plump rice flakes and showed a strange smile.

Early in the morning, Xiao Yueyue was asleep in a daze when she smelled a strange fragrance. She closed her eyes and sniffed her little nose. It was delicious!

She opened her big eyes and saw her mother shaking a square "biscuit" at her!

"Hey, that kid woke up with greed! How shameful!" Li Xiuzhi smiled and sat on the edge of the kang, picked up her daughter, Xiao Yueyue stretched out her little hand to grab the "biscuit", Li Xiuzhi deliberately raised her hand high , not to her.

"Mom, please give me one bite, just one bite!"

"Say something nice!"

"Mom is the best mother in the world!"

"Look at your potential! Just like your father!" Li Xiuzhi kissed her daughter lovingly, "Little greedy cat! Eat it!"

"Uh-huh!"

Xiao Yueyue took the "biscuit" and took a bite, but it was crispy and sweet. She looked at the "biscuit" in her hand curiously, "Mom, what is this? It's sweet and crispy!"

"Don't you understand? These are rice krispie treats made by your brother Jianping with maltose and rice krispies. Isn't it delicious?"

"It's so delicious!" With a sweet smile on the little girl's face, she finished the rice krispie treats and licked her fingers, "I still want to eat them!"

"Greedy cat, wait till you finish eating!" Li Xiuzhi poked her daughter on the forehead and scolded her with a smile.

The kitchen is already filled with all kinds of rice krispie treats, some cut into blocks, some rolled into balls, and some cut into slices. They are placed layer by layer on a square plate filled with tofu. They are as white as snow. When the sun shines on it, it's bright and dazzling.

The air was filled with the sweet smell of rice mixed with the sweetness of maltose, making Xiao Yueyue couldn't help but take a deep breath!
"This thing costs a penny a piece, and a hundred of them won't cost half a pound of rice. It's a huge profit!" Sun Jianping proudly looked at the rice krispie treats he had made all night long, yawned, and showed off his business experience to Lao Cao. .

"This kid is really good at thinking!" Lao Cao grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth, and took a bite. It was thin, crispy, and sweet. Not to mention children, even he loved to eat it.

"Jianping, you haven't slept for half the night. Come in and take a nap! I'll help you finish feeding Ma!" Cao Chungui walked in from the outside and saw the rice krispie treats on the stove, so he quickly grabbed a stuffed one. He put it in his mouth and said vaguely.

"Thank you, brother!"

"Why are you so polite!"

Sun Jianping was really tired. He lay on the kang and soon fell asleep. In his dream, his rice krispie treats, maltose, and roe deer meat were on sale, and people rushed to grab them!
"Hehe..." He laughed out loud.

The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month is the small year of the lunar calendar.

The twelfth lunar month is bone-chilling and the sun is rising in the east.

Early in the morning, Li Xiuzhi took out a square piece of maltose and placed it on the stove. She vaguely remembered that there had been a portrait of the Stove Lord there, but it was later torn down by her wicked husband.

"Grandpa Zaojun, please bless my family to be safe and prosperous all year round..." She muttered a few words silently in her heart, and her husband's loud voice came from outside the house!

"Daughter-in-law, are you going? I'll go grab some space early!"

"Here we come!" Li Xiuzhi hurriedly went out, "It's like a ghost every day. Where are Dad and Jianping?"

"You and I have already driven there, and you've been wasting your time this morning..."

"Screw you!" Li Xiuzhi pinched her husband, "It's really annoying. You blame me for getting up late. Isn't it because some little donkey tormented me for half the night..."

"Okay, stop talking and go!"

Cao Chungui blushed, took his wife's hand, caught up with the carriage and went straight to the commune.
