With the development of the times, because of a better platform, many things have slowly disappeared, such as those who sell needles and threads on the streets, sweets and pastries, and shaving heads and extracting teeth; But there are also many that are still kept, such as sharpening scissors, kitchen knives, popcorn, and so on.

After Zhao Yang came back from the brigade courtyard, he saw a popcorn shop, set up a stove on the side of the road, lit a fire, and was about to open.

Approaching the end of the year, the eldest children have returned home on vacation, at this time to which village, as long as the pot is exploded first, and the sound of "呑" sounds, it will attract adults and children, and the business will naturally not be wrong!

Popcorn also carries many good memories of Zhao Yang's childhood, so he stood aside and watched it for a while. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and he bought his whole set of guys before anyone could open it!

Of course, Zhao Yang bought this set of "equipment" not because he wanted to make popcorn by himself, but because he thought of the problem he had always wanted to solve but never had a clue: alchemy!

Because there was no alchemy furnace, Zhao Yangkong guarded dozens of pill recipes, but he could only watch dryly. However, when he saw the gall-shaped black pot of popcorn, he suddenly had an idea!

Although Zhao Yang has never seen what a real alchemy furnace looks like, he can know from the inheritance of Xiaoyaozi that in addition to the formula, there are two key steps in alchemy: one is to ensure firepower, and the second is to ensure that the surname is sealed.

These two points, the current set of "equipment" is completely competent!

Although Zhao Yang used the pill to make a pill and also played a very good effect, compared with the pill, in addition to containing a large amount of medicinal residue that affected the absorption of medicinal power, some medicinal effects could not be exerted without refining, and some pills could not be converted into pills directly!

For example, the "Shengsheng Chemical Pill" made by Zhao Yang for the first time was made through Danfang, although the effect was roughly the same, but because there was a large amount of medicinal residue, first, the effect of the medicine was slow; Second, it is necessary to consume additional qi and blood to absorb the medicinal power, and in the process, the medicinal power will be wasted; Thirdly, the residue also needs to consume extra qi and blood to compensate for its negative effects on the body and expel it from the body.

There are also some pills that cannot be stimulated because some key medicinal powers have not been refined, so the effect is greatly reduced, such as a "Three Holy Heart Saving Pill", which is used to save emergencies and dangers, but if it is only a pill, because of the lack of a part of the medicinal power, it cannot be used in first aid! Of course, it is still very good to use it as a regular health care and auxiliary treatment!

In addition, there are some pills that are made into pills, because the medicinal power cannot meet the requirements without refining, and it will not be effective when used to treat diseases, and it will be good if it can not be counterproductive! This can be referred to the case of "using arsenic to kill insects".

In short, the elixir is irreplaceable!

Although the popcorn pot in front of him was simple, it still had some similarities with the alchemy furnace, so Zhao Yang thought about giving it a try.

The old man who sold popcorn recognized Zhao Yang and gave him a very fair price, so he happily transferred this set of "equipment" and taught Zhao Yang some tricks.

These experiences are important, but the key is practice!

Zhao Yang didn't go home for dinner, and directly asked the old man to help him send this set of "equipment" to the orchard.

To say that it is a set of "equipment", it is a stove, a half-worn bellows and the main popcorn pot, and half a bag of coal.

When the equipment arrived, the rice was also ready-made, and Zhao Yang was not verbose, and immediately started practicing.

In alchemy, heat is a very critical factor. According to the different pills, some need to be fired urgently, and some need to be fired slowly, but whether it is a rapid fire or a slow fire, it is necessary to ensure that the medicine in the furnace is evenly fired. At this point, although the popcorn pot is simple, it still has a little advantage because it can be turned!

In addition, the opening of the furnace of the pill is also very important, refining the medicine and opening the furnace is the process and result, the timely opening of the furnace not only ensures the best efficacy, but also ensures the number of finished products of the pill. Of course, on the other hand, if the furnace is not opened at the right time, the quality of the pill will be inferior, and the number of finished products will be small. From this point of view, the importance of opening the furnace and the mastery of the heat is the same, or even a little more, after all, this "opening" is related to the result!

And when it comes to the cost of practice, the popcorn pot still has an advantage! After all, half a bowl of rice is only how much, and a well-matched medicinal herb, not to mention the extra processing cost, let's just say that its own value is much higher than that half a bowl of rice!

Since the cost is not high, Zhao Yang naturally let go of his hands and practice!

By the time Sun Zhenxiang found the orchard and asked him to eat, he had already burst out of a small half-rice bag of rice flowers, and the rice in that yard was fragrant!

Sun Zhenxiang looked angry and funny, stepped forward and grabbed his ear and said, "How old are you, still playing this?" Even if you want to eat it every day, you can't eat it every day, right? ”

Zhao Yang shook his head, rescued his ears, and said, "Mom, I'm doing the right thing!" ”

Sun Zhenxiang grabbed a handful of rice flowers and stuffed them into his mouth to eat, and nodded first: "Well, it's not bad!" He took out a handkerchief and wiped the ashes off Zhao Yang's face, and said lovingly: "Even if you're busy doing business, you have to eat, right?" ”

Zhao Yang has now turned into a "science madman", and is doing experiments with his heart, where is he willing to waste time going home for dinner? But he also knew that he would definitely not be able to pass Sun Zhenxiang's level if he didn't eat, so he smiled and said, "What, can you send me here to eat?" ”

Sun Zhenxiang sighed and said, "You have become a serious thing to pop rice?" Are you switching careers to selling popcorn? ”

Zhao Yang quickly poured half a bowl of rice again, buckled the lid, and then turned to Sun Zhenxiang and said, "Mom, it's really a serious matter!" I'll make you something to eat when the time comes! ”

Sun Zhenxiang said in disbelief: "Isn't this thing able to pop a popcorn?" You can still use it to stew meat! ”

Stew meat with this pot? How do you get it out!

Zhao Yang wanted to laugh a little when he thought of spraying meat outside, he stuffed the half bag of rice flowers to Sun Zhenxiang, and said with a smile: "Mom, I really can't get out, your old man will be tired to send me something to eat!" You can take these rice flowers back and give them to Xiaoxi and those children! ”

Sun Zhenxiang had no choice but to go home with half a bag of rice flowers.

Zhao Yang continued to practice and replaced the coal with wooden blocks. Wood blocks do not produce as much heat as coal, making it easier to control the heat. However, the wood soot is large, and the effect should be better when replaced with charcoal.

After exploding two more pots of rice flowers, Sun Zhenxiang brought rice, but brought the morning light.

After Zhao Yang asked them if they had eaten, he said with some complaints: "Mom, what are you bringing Xiaoxi for?" Isn't she taking a nap? What if it burns her? ”

Sun Zhenxiang put down the bellows and replied while placing the steaming meal on it: "Xixi took a nap in the morning, and now she is not sleepy, so I will bring her to play...... She is so well-behaved, she is not the kind of child who moves her hands and feet, where will it be hot? Besides, there's me! ”

Chenxi also said obediently: "Uncle, I won't mess with your things." ”

When Zhao Yang heard this, he didn't feel good in his heart, he touched Chenxi's little head, and said with a warm smile: "Okay, Xixi is the most well-behaved!" You sit obediently, and your uncle will give you popcorn to eat! Then he pointed to the stove and pot and the bag of rice, and said, "These things are hot, hot, and you can't touch them!" ”

Dawn nodded obediently again.

After eating hastily, Zhao Yang continued to practice.

Now the problem he had to solve was how to turn the popcorn pot to ensure that it was evenly heated.

This thing is completely based on the feel, and you can't master it without practicing a few times.

Chenxi sat next to Sun Zhenxiang with relish and watched Zhao Yang put the white rice into the black pot, and then put the black pot on the stove, and began to turn the black pot from time to time, and after a while, he lifted the black pot to the bag in front of him, stepped on it with his foot, and with a "bang", the snow-white rice rushed out with a stream of white steam!

Whenever this happens, she claps her hands and screams with joy!

Sun Zhenxiang would take the bag to put away the rice flowers, and then when she came back, she would take a small handful to eat.

The hot, soft, white rice flowers are so fragrant!

And Sun Zhenxiang found that the rice that burst out in the next few times was not only big in shape, but also sweeter in taste! It is estimated that he is the one who sells popcorn, and the rice he has exploded for decades is not as good as Zhao Yang's!

After another pot burst out, Zhao Yang looked at the rice flowers lying on both ends of his hand that were slightly sharp, stretched and completely released, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, in terms of heat control, he had finally reached a more skillful level!

Next, Zhao Yang began to control the time of boiling!

One afternoon, the people of Longwo Village faintly heard the constant noise coming from the orchard! Bang! Bang! Then, when it was time to make dinner, I saw Sun Zhenxiang carrying half a bag of rice flowers back home. Now there is a blessing in the family with children! Some took a few yuan, some took a bowl of rice, and they got their wish in exchange for delicious rice flowers!

Sun Zhenxiang is not stingy, except for leaving some for Chenxi to eat, who will exchange or buy the rest, she will manage enough to give it to others. However, thinking that Zhao Yang had a few pots because he had been waiting for the pot to boil for too long, he ended up squeezed into a ball inside, and he could only use chopsticks and branches to pick them out, and he was still scolded by her, "Bad food!" ”

Zhao Yang didn't care at all, but was happy. Through these few exercises, he finally mastered the heating of the popcorn pot and the boiling situation at different times, and the rest can be tested with medicinal materials!

After Sun Zhenxiang left, he boiled a mild medicinal soup and washed the pot inside and out.

Especially inside, because I make popcorn all year round, I have washed it several times and there is a sweet fragrance of rice. Zhao Yang grabbed a few handfuls of charcoal ash and poured it into it in a fit of anger, rubbed and poured water on it, soaked it in medicinal water after washing, and finally rinsed it with mountain spring water dozens of times before the smell was removed!

As for the outside, it's easy to say, in fact, the impact of washing or not is not big!
