NOVEL NEXT Chapter 79 Popcorn
In the golden autumn of October, the ground is covered with green leaves wrapped in golden color.
The corn in the field was ripe, and Mao Xi and Mu Zhiyuan took tools to harvest the corn.
The trial planting this time was yellow sweet corn. During the growing season, neighbors would come to Ah Shu’s field from time to time to check and ask Chen what kind of grain it was.
Mrs. Chen didn’t really understand it either. She only heard her daughter Ah Shu say that she was transplanted from the back mountain.
Mao Xi planted a total of two acres of corn, and the two of them started harvesting in the early morning. It took them three hours to harvest one acre of corn.
Mu Zhiyuan helped put the corn into Mao Xi's personal space for storage. She steamed some corns and let Mu Zhiyuan taste them.
"Brother Mu, this can be a staple food, you can eat it and see."
Mu Zhiyuan took the corn, looked at it, and said, "Ah Shu, why do these beans grow on the cob?"
This sentence amused Mao Xi: "Brother Mu, this is corn, and it can also make soup."
After feeding the three dogs and small rats at home, I took a bag of corn with me and went to Liuxiang for snacks.
"Brother Mu, is the parrot Doudou okay at your house?"
"It's a little misbehaved. Sometimes it flies far away and comes back at night. Now I've added a short chain to its feet."
"It can learn to talk and is very cute. I originally wanted to put Doudou in the store, but I was afraid it would fly around. Ajiao kept making noises to see it."
"I put a short chain on its feet so that it can fly far. Now it has been tamed so that it can listen to commands. It will be more lively if I keep it in your shop in the future."
The time passed quickly as the two chatted, and they arrived at Ewha Town in a blink of an eye.
Mao Xi first took out a few steamed corns from the bag and gave them to everyone.
Zhang Xiucai picked up the corn and chanted: "Slim and graceful, full of gold, jade and pearls."
Lu Da picked up the corn and gnawed it, teasing Zhang Xiucai: "Xiucai, if you really know how to talk, I can also say that this corn is rice like jade."
Mrs. Chen saw her daughter peeling corn kernels and stepped forward to help. Lou Laner and Xiao Qing also helped peel the corn kernels.
After shucking a whole pot of corn, wash it twice and shake it dry, ready to make "popcorn".
She took out a small piece of butter and a little sugar that she bought from the mall in advance, put them into the pot, and then poured in the corn.
Stir-frying it back and forth with a shovel. After the corn popped, she covered the pot, turned down the heat, picked up the pot and shook it constantly to let it heat evenly.
Through the lid of the pot, there was the sound of popcorn popping one after another, and Ajiao was so scared that she covered her ears.
After everything explodes, open the lid and the whole kitchen will be filled with the sweet smell of butter.
Each piece of popcorn was snow-white and wrapped in golden butter and caramel. Ajiao stretched out her little hand to grab a handful and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Sister, it's so sweet, even more delicious than candied haws!" Ajiao grabbed another handful after finishing the meal.
Zhang Xiucai picked up one and looked at it for a long time. When he was about to speak again, Lou Laner took a popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth.
Mao Xi took out some paper bags from the kitchen and filled seven or eight bags of popcorn.
Lou Lan'er asked: "Ah Shu, do you want to sell this popcorn as fruit?"
Mao Xi shook her head with a smile and said, "Lou Lan'er, come with me to the stage, and we'll sell this popcorn to the folks watching the show."
"Ah Shao, you have a great idea! Let's go!"
The two of them went to the cross street stage with popcorn in their arms.
Lou Laner also opened a bag and let some passers-by try it.
"Mulan" was being played on the stage, and Ma Xi and Lou Lan'er were selling popcorn to the crowd under the stage.
Among the theatergoers, there was a familiar figure, the female assassin Mo Xia.
She saw Lou Lan'er and Shu Xi selling popcorn, so she walked up and asked, "How do you sell this food?"
"This is popcorn, 5 cents a bag!" Shui Xi replied, and when he took a closer look, he saw it was Mo Xia.
"Miss Ah Ma, long time no see!"
"Miss Mo Xia, it's really you! I saw your brother Mo Feng, can you see him?"
Mo Xia nodded and said, "I was about to go to your store, but I was delayed watching people perform here."
Mao Xi and Mo Xia returned to Liuxiang Snacks first.
Mo Xia ate the popcorn, which was crispy and fragrant in her mouth: "Ah Shu, do you think this is popcorn made from corn? It also has a milky flavor!"
Mao Xi nodded and said, "Mo Xia, eat more, there is still a lot. Why did you come to me today because of the Miao Xian matter?"
"Exactly, the clan leader asked me to come here to find out. The government officials have found our clan leader. My brother Mo Feng and others from the same clan are helping to find the missing woman."
Mao Xi told Mo Xia how Xue Jinlan found someone to bewitch him and was kidnapped.
"Mo Xia, is there really that kind of magic that can inflict love poison on people in your Miao area?" Shui Xi asked. She had watched martial arts movies before and once saw that it seemed like eating poisonous insects. She found it disgusting.
"Ah Xiao, our Miao territory has witchcraft, which is mainly used for divination, sacrifices, and praying for rain. Miao Xian is my elder brother's junior brother. He secretly studies the method of witchcraft and uses it to deceive the world. The patriarch has already driven him out of the village. Ah Shu, let me go to the restaurant he opened first."
After Mo Xia found out, she went to Bazhen Tower to check.
"I didn't expect that Miao Xian was a member of the same clan as Mo Feng and Mo Xia." Zhang Xiucai looked at Mo Xia's retreating back and sighed, "The martial arts of Miao Xian must not be inferior to Mo Xia's!"
"With the help of Mo Feng and the clan leader, Miao Xian should be captured soon!"
The popcorn in the pot popped again, and Xiao Qing helped Mao Xi put the popcorn into bags.
Marlboro followed the scent and came to the store: "The smell of butter, I smell the smell of butter, Miss Ahmi, what is this?"
"This is popcorn. Do you want some? You can eat it with coffee."
"Then bring me a cup of coffee with frothed milk and some popcorn."
Luda was responsible for grinding beans and making coffee. Mao Xi only taught him once. Now Luda is very comfortable brewing hand-brewed coffee with gauze.
"Mr. Marlboro, your coffee and popcorn!" Ah Xing brought the food.
The smell of coffee quickly filled the entire outer hall. Two tables of diners had just finished their meals and the smell was good. They also ordered the same coffee as Mapopola with popcorn.
The clock is coming soon, and more and more people are coming to the shop to drink tea, mainly to listen to Lou Lan'er's story.
Xiaoqing took a few more bags of popcorn and went to the stage to replace Lou Lan'er and return to the store.
.
In the cave on the cliff of Miaoling, Xue Jinlan had been detained for ten days.
Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Tian came to the cave holding torches to feed Xue Jinlan and draw blood.
"Please let me go, Miao Xian must have done the same thing to you as me! Why do you have to work hard for him?" Xue Jinlan said with a weak breath, hoping to convince the two of them.
Lan and Tian looked at each other and smiled, and still took Xue Jinlan's heart blood to feed the Gu worms in the box.
"Why, why? You want to help him? Just because he poisoned you, you can't betray him and let me go. If I become Miao Xian's third wife, wouldn't it be useless to you?"
Mrs. Lan stepped forward and pinched Xue Jinlan's face and said, "Sister, there are very few people like you who are well-fed, well-fed and pampered by their parents from the moment they are born."
Mrs. Tian: "Sister, the sufferings we sisters have endured are unimaginable. It was Miao Xian who made us beautiful women, allowed us to have food to eat and no longer be bullied and humiliated!"
Mrs. Lan: "A-Tian, what nonsense are you talking to her about? What does she know? Let's go!"
