Chapter 57: Stir-fried popcorn
"So you'd better take this thing first. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI'll try to make myself better. Yuan Qing said, when she is excellent and Yue'er has grown up, Yue'er shouldn't refuse herself anymore, Yuan Qing thought to herself.
"Brother Yuan Qing, it's better for you to take it back first, and then send it later." After all, this is Yuan Qing's, no matter how you say it, Du Yue can't still keep it. However, Du Yue's words also meant a little bit, she only asked Yuan Qing to send it later, but she didn't say that she would give it to her again. This thing is Yuan Qing's love token, how can he accept it casually.
"Okay, I'll take it first, and I'll give it to you later, and you must take it from me then." Yuan Qing said, and finally had to reach out and take it.
"Hmm." Du Yue didn't say anything else, since Yuan Qing had already collected the things, she didn't want to stay here longer, so someone would come over for a while. If you see the two of you alone here, you will have a bad reputation for yourself, Yuan Qing is a man, these reputations have no effect on him, he is a girl, in ancient times, a girl's reputation is very important. told Yuan Qing that he would go home first, and then left the alley.
The position where the two of them stood was right on the edge of the kitchen of Uncle Liu's house, Liu Lin happened to enter the kitchen, heard the sound of the two of them talking, and listened quietly, and listened to what the two of them said over there, and said in his heart that his son, what a stupid son, no matter how much he gave the girl, he couldn't get it back, so he could still have his share, thinking that this son was not as shrewd as Du Yue, she was anxious for her son when she listened here, and she almost couldn't help but say it, but fortunately she held back, I can't let my son and Du Yue know that I heard what they said. Liu Lin is still thinking about whether he should help his son, Yueniang, this girl is very good, but she will not be a female celebrity, and she can't find her parents for the time being, everything else is good, but this is not a big problem, if she really becomes her daughter-in-law, she will really wake up laughing in a dream. Thinking of this, Aunt Liu decided that she would have to take care of her son in the future, so that she could marry Du Yue back as soon as possible.
Today is the third day of the foundation of the house, and it is time to fry popcorn and make hair cakes, and it will be sent out before noon. Aunt Liu had already started making hair cakes in the kitchen, and Du Yue hurried over to help.
"Auntie, I'm really bothering you, what else do you want me to do, you say." Du Yue said to Aunt Liu when she entered the kitchen.
"I'm just stirring this batter now, it's just a very simple thing, and I don't need your help." Liu Lin said. Since he knew that his son was interested in Du Yue, Liu Lin's attitude towards Du Yue had changed a little, but it was not very obvious, so Du Yue didn't find out.
"Auntie, I'm here, what is there to do, you call me." Du Yue said, and then watched Liu Lin stir the batter on the side.
"Then you sit down first, and I'll tell you to do something later." Liu Lin said that he felt very relieved to see Du Yue knowing the etiquette and knowing how to be grateful. After kneading for a long time, Liu Lin finally kneaded the noodles, put the noodles aside, covered them with a cloth, and had to put them there to wake up, so that the noodles could slowly rise first.
"You go to the firewood room and get some firewood, I'm going to fry popcorn." Liu Lin said to Du Yue who was on the side.
"Okay." Du Yue hurried to the firewood room on the side to pick up firewood.
"Auntie, what are you going to do with this popcorn?" Du Yue asked.
"Popcorn is very simple, just put it in the pot and fry it, then cover the pot, and you will hear a crackling sound for a while, and you can open the lid when it doesn't sound." Liu Lin said.
"Auntie, it's so simple to hear you say, it's just not that easy to do." Du Yue said.
"In fact, if you want to fry well, you have to rely on experience." Liu Lin said as he washed the cauldron and asked Du Yue to start the fire.
"I'll see how you fry it, and I'll try it next time." Du Yue sat in front of the stove and began to light the fire.
"Do you want to try it now, it's easy." Liu Lin said.
"I still don't want it now, I don't have to fry it for a while." Du Yue has never fried it, and she hasn't seen anyone fry it, so she doesn't want to fry it now, she wants to at least see how people do it before doing it.
"Well, okay, you'll see how I'm fried in a moment." Liu Lin said. After saying that, the pot was also hot, and Liu Lin poured the prepared millet into the pot. It began to be turned constantly, so that the grains were evenly heated, or some of them would not burst, and some of the uneven heating would not be able to burst. Stir-frying popcorn is also a tiring job, but fortunately, it doesn't take too long. After the millet began to burst, Liu Lin found a lid and closed it, listening to the popcorn crackling in the pot, and the sound became less after half a cup of tea.
"Yueniang, it's almost over, you withdraw the fire." Liu Lin said to Du Yue, remove the fire, and you have to cover the lid and simmer for a while, if there is still fire in the stove, it will be easy to be confused.
"Okay." Du Yue immediately withdrew all the fires in the stove.
"It smells so good." After simmering for a while, Liu Lin opened the lid of the pot, although it was only fried with millet and no sugar added, but Du Yue felt that it smelled quite fragrant, probably because this millet was pure green food, and it was more fragrant than the corn fried by Cui Cui who didn't know how much fertilizer was used in modern times. Liu Lin took the lid and filled it with a full basket, and put it aside to cool it slowly.
"Would you like to have some of it?" When Liu Lin saw Du Yue's appearance, he smiled a little dotingly.
"Then I'll try it first." Anyway, Du Yue didn't care about the popcorn that was still a little hot just out of the pot, so she reached over and grabbed a small handful and ate it, well, it was so good in ancient times, the food was not polluted, and it had to be sweeter to eat. It's just that there are millet husks, and you have to pick out the husks when you eat them, which is really troublesome, but this is for people now. It's already very good, especially for children, so they won't care so much, after all, in such an environment, it's good to have a little snack to eat.
"Do you want to do it again?" Seeing that Du Yue was eating quite sweetly, Liu Lin asked.
"No, I've tasted it." Du Yue said that although these taste quite sweet, she still prefers to eat popcorn fried with corn, which is more enjoyable because she likes to eat it without a shell.
"Well, if you don't eat it, I'll put it up first." Liu Lin saw that Du Yue really didn't want to eat it, so he picked it up and put the popcorn aside, saving him the trouble of accidentally knocking it down after a while.
The popcorn is fried, and the noodles are almost ready, Liu Linshi asked Du Yue to start the fire again, as long as the batter is steamed for half an hour, and then it can be used to cut into pieces when it is cool.
