Popcorn is one of Yao Huang's profound childhood memories. When she was a child, she lived in a small town with her grandparents, and every once in a while, a middle-aged man would carry a burden and tools on his back, and call popcorn all the way into the town. At this time, the children in the town are the most excited, and they have begged the adults for money, and they run to the open space selected by the man with a bowl of rice or corn, and wait in line for the man to pop the popcorn one by one.

Every child's eyes are full of curiosity and fun, in their hearts, not only is the popcorn delicious, but the popcorn process is also very interesting, especially the last loud noise.

The pot of popcorn is specially made, dark and sealed, and the "belly" is relatively large. The middle-aged man pulled the bellows with one hand and turned the black pot with the other, and everyone only heard the sound of the bellows whirring, and after about ten minutes, the man stood up.

"Attention, it's time to boil!" The man reminded the children.

The bold child immediately did not step forward, and the timid child hurriedly retreated. The man stepped on the mouth of the pot with his foot and pried it open with an iron rod. For a moment, the blasting sound was deafening. The children were desperately covering their ears while running and cheering, just as happy as firecrackers during the Spring Festival.

When the smoke clears, white or golden popcorn appears in the children's sight, and the thick sweet fragrance makes the children salivate. Yao Huang has never been able to understand how those dry and hard rice and corn, plus those few simple tools, can make such sweet and delicious wood flowers? The wisdom of the ancients is truly amazing.

Popcorn was invented in the Song Dynasty, and Fan Chengda wrote in "Wu Junzhi? Customs" recorded: "Shangyuan,...... Burst the glutinous grain in the kettle. The name is Lou. Also known as rice flowers. Each self-detonated. A year's rest. On the occasion of the New Year, the Song people used popcorn to tell the good fortune of the year, and the girls used it to ask about their lifelong events. The Song people added food to the culture, which gave it a richer connotation. Qing Dynasty scholar Zhao Yi recorded a poem "Poems of Exploding Lou" in his "Miscellaneous Records of Eaves Exposure": "100,000 families entered Wumen in the east, and every family burst grain for a long time. Drain the golden millet in the pot and turn it into a white jade flower. The pink beauty accounts for the happy event, and the white-headed old man asks about the career. Xiaolai decorated his sons, and several plum blossoms were inserted into his sideburns. "The popcorn in my pen is not only beautifully written, but also full of life.

Yao Huang doesn't have the tools to make popcorn, but she has a way to make a higher rod. She took out the Dan furnace for refining pills! The rice flowers made with the Dan furnace are not only delicious, but also have aura and medicinal properties, and the children have the effect of washing the marrow after eating. Let the little girls who ate popcorn have more supple skin, more cute looks, and more flexible skills.

The women in the village also liked the snack of rice flowers, but they didn't have a Dan stove and didn't know how to start it. A group of women came to Yao's house and wanted to borrow Yao Huang's Dan furnace as a model for the blacksmith to build one for them. Yao Huangyi, use the Dan furnace to make popcorn, and the good people will cry and cry. In the end, Yao Huang drew a modern popcorn tool from memory and asked the blacksmith to make one. The blacksmith's youngest son understood the use of tools and carried them through the village. became a professional popcorn worker, and also became the most popular person among women and children.

There are actually many traditional snack styles: fried melon seeds, pickled fruits, various pastries, jerky, etc. After Yao Huang promoted peanuts to the whole country, snacks made with peanuts were also varied. However, the women and children in the village wanted to eat Yao Huang's snacks more, all of which were novel and delicious. So everyone often pleaded with Xiao Yingchun to ask Yao Huang for food, Yao Huang understood everyone's thoughts, just smiled, and then taught everyone more snacks. Such as potato chips, meat floss, silkworm potatoes, bowl cakes, corn candy...... In the end, Yao Huang taught everyone to make shaved ice. In October, although the weather has cooled down, it has not snowed yet, so where is the ice? However, our ancients had the wisdom to artificially make ice, dissolving saltpeter in water to absorb the surrounding heat, so that the temperature was lowered, and a small basin of ice was made. Children love shaved ice the most, but when it's cold, adults don't let them eat more. The children were so angry that the adults had to promise them more shaved ice for them to eat next summer.

Yao Huang, who lived a peaceful life, didn't know that someone had made a mess of it in order to come to see her. Although he had obtained the formation inheritance, Jing Wuming still couldn't find a way to return to the mortal realm. There is a powerful barrier between the cultivation realm and the mortal realm, which can accept people from the mortal realm who have ascended to the cultivation realm, and even prevent people from the cultivation realm from going to the mortal realm, which is said to be to protect the mortal realm. This barrier cannot be broken even by the masters of the Mahayana period. As for Hua Xi Zhenren, he was lucky enough to encounter one and only one ancient formation set up by the ancient powers, and that formation was scrapped after Hua Xi Zhenren went to the mortal realm. Jing Wuming's inheritance did not have the knowledge to repair the ancient teleportation array, so the more he studied the formation, the more irritable he became. Just as Jing Wusheng was about to erupt, a crack appeared in the sky in front of his cave gate......

Yao Huang took out a chicken leg from the space and received the original owner's information while gnawing on it. The original owner was an orphan girl, who had no mother since she was a child, and when she was fourteen years old, her father, who was a teacher, died. This child can only support himself as a front, earns very little money, often fies and starves, and because of malnutrition, he is as small as a child of twelve or thirteen years old. Yao Huang stood up and walked around the room, there were only two beds and two suitcases for clothes in the two bedrooms, and there was no furniture at all. There was a box of books in the study, which was the most valuable thing in the house, because it was a relic of the original father, and the original body was hungry and did not take it out as an exchange for money.

Outside the house was a small yard with a small vegetable patch, and on the other side there was a chicken coop with three skinny chicks.

"Yao Huang, are you up? Are you feeling better? "Outside the courtyard came a young woman of about twenty years old, not very pretty, but very dignified.

"Much better." Yao Huang replied. The original owner suffered from cold, sickness and fever, and had no money to hire a doctor, so it was the younger brother of the young woman next door who was an apprentice in the pharmacy to help him take the medicine, but unfortunately he still didn't survive, and gave his body to Yao Huang, "Thank you Brother Xu, his current medical skills are no worse than the doctor in the pharmacy, and in two years, he will be able to practice medicine independently!" ”

"It's not even close!" The young woman listened to Yao Huang praise her younger brother, and she couldn't close her mouth with joy, "I boiled a pot of chicken soup and brought you a bowl." You're in good health, you need to make up for it! (To be continued......)
