Chapter 130: The Making of Popcorn

After the rest of the guests in the tavern left, the staff of the tavern gathered in the kitchen, and Lu Yuan couldn't help but be curious, and quietly moved to the door of the kitchen.

Rowan briefly introduced the popcorn he was going to make, and he started to act.

He took five grains of corn first—no more, no less, five grains!

Then put the five carefully selected plump corns into the pot.

But after putting it in, he looked at the five grains of corn rolling in the pot, and suddenly realized that the people who popped corn with a popcorn machine were using the kind of very dry dried corn they used.

So he gave the stove to Obi and asked him to fry the corn kernels first.

Obi lights the fire, heats the pot, and then turns the corn kernels with a spatula, which quickly evaporates the water in the corn kernels completely, leaving it in a dry state.

Then, Rowan asked him to put butter directly in the pan, burn the butter, and then turn the heat to medium-low to fry the corn kernels.

This is actually the general step of fried food, Rowan originally just wanted to try it first to see the effect, who knew that it had just started to fry for less than a minute, and he heard five consecutive sounds of "pop pop pop", and the five corn kernels in the oil burst one after another!

Three of the corns even popped out of the oil pan and splashed on Obi's body!

Rowan hurriedly asked him to turn off the fire, and then carefully scooped up the only two corn kernels left in the pot with a colander.

These two corn kernels are white flowers, as if they were already two popcorns!

"It's as simple as that?"

Rowan looked at the two popcorns in great surprise, and after cooling down a little, he directly pinched one of them with his hand and put it in his mouth to taste.

"The texture is the taste of popcorn, but unfortunately it's not sweet, is it because there is no sugar?"

He pursed his lips and couldn't help but whisper.

At the same time, Naobi picked up the other three popcorns and put them in his mouth to chew.

"The taste is very light, but it tastes like it has a strange melt-in-your-mouth flavor, and this thing is edible?"

Since there is corn in this world, it is very normal to accidentally fry popcorn during cooking.

It's just that no one has ever used this accidentally fried thing as food.

Obi listened to Rowan's suggestion and began to work on it a second time.

This time, he grabbed a handful of corn kernels, fried them dry, and then put sugar in them on the way to fry the corn, and then covered them with a pot lid.

When the "crackling" sound in the pot stopped, he turned off the heat, lifted the lid of the pot, and fished out the popcorn in the pot.

As a result, some of the popcorn didn't pop, and some of it was mushy!

The sugar in it didn't dissolve well into the popcorn, and a lot of sugar was burnt, and the whole thing was a mess!

Therefore, even if it is a simple method, if you don't grasp the details, it will be difficult to make decent food.

"How so?"

Obi looked at Rowan with a confused face.

Rowan just smiled at him, completely "I believe you can".

In desperation, Obi could only turn his head and think hard alone.

But he was very experienced after all, and quickly found out what he was wrong with the cooking process from the failed samples.

"Is it because I didn't stir-fry on the way to evenly coat each kernel with butter?"

With this in mind, he quickly began the third experiment.

This time, he flipped the corn kernels with a spatula during the initial frying process so that each kernel was coated in a layer of butter, and then when the kernels began to burst, he immediately covered the pot.

With the sound of a "crackling" explosion.

He picked up his ears and listened carefully to the explosion in the pot, and suddenly noticed that in some parts of the pot, the explosion was particularly dense, while in some places there was almost no explosion.

This made him realize the problem again, so he immediately activated the magic to adjust the heat distribution in the pot so that the corn kernels were evenly heated.

After a few moments, he turned off the heat and lifted the lid.

As the water vapor emerges from the edge of the lid, a very strong glutinous fragrance spreads.

This popcorn is the most fragrant when it first comes out of the pot, and Rowan still remembers that he was attracted by this fragrance when he was a child, and finally became a captive of popcorn.

When the lid of the pot was completely lifted, the popcorn in the pot suddenly came into everyone's eyes.

Obi smelled the fragrance and looked at the popcorn without a trace of scorching, he intuitively felt that he must have succeeded, and immediately showed a very happy smile.

Before meeting Rowan, he was a loser among adventurers and a low-level cook.

But after meeting Rowan, he made many mouth-watering delicacies one after another under Rowan's guidance, and finally gradually regained a little confidence in cooking.

With a little bit of confidence, Obi turned around, revealing snow-white canine teeth, wanting to seek the boss's affirmation.

But his boss covered his forehead and looked at him, and said helplessly: "You forgot to put sugar." ”

……

Obi hurriedly reached out and grabbed a handful of sugar from the spice box full of sugar, and then rubbed it with his right hand, kneading the sugar into a fine powder and spilling it evenly on the popcorn that had just come out of the pot.

At the same time, he held the handle of the pot in his left hand and picked it up and shook it, causing the popcorn in the pot to tumble in the air, and not a single grain could be stained with powdered sugar.

"Hopefully it will make up for it."

Obi's move is only to remedy, but he doesn't want to make a mistake, and it is better to sprinkle powdered sugar at this time than to pour sugar on the way to frying!

The powdered sugar melts and spreads due to the high temperature on the popcorn, and the sugar liquid seeps into it, giving the whole popcorn a sweet taste.

After completing this step, Obi finally let out a sigh of relief and looked back at the boss again.

But Rowan had already walked up to him, picked up a colander and scooped up two popcorns.

He picked up a popcorn with his fingers, blew on it, and put it in his mouth.

As the saliva grew, the popcorn quickly melted, and the sweet flavor mixed with the rich aroma of corn began to wash over and over in his mouth.

"It tastes good."

He narrowed his eyes and gave Obibi a thumbs up.

Obi suddenly smiled!

The rest of the crowd gathered around and picked up the popcorn and tasted it.

But how do you get enough popcorn for that?

Soon, Obi happily continued to make popcorn.

With his success, he started making popcorn very quickly.

This thing doesn't need special ingredients, and the flavor is not amazing, but it's very good.

What's more, it's cheap, delicious, and belongs to the category of sweets, which is very appetizing for girls!

Rowan gulped down on popcorn, but he already had a plan in mind.
