Chapter 37: Popcorn
"Yingying, all the money in this family has been lost to Xiao Liu's, grandpa really has no money in his hands, you can't watch your grandma die alive, right?"
Chu Dadi licked a face like old tree bark, his little eyes flashed, and his whole face was full of irrepressible resentment.
If Chu Yingying hadn't sued the official, could such a thing happen?
"Master, is there really no money at home? Didn't my grandmother save my aunt's dowry for many years? It's enough to pawn just one piece. ”
Chu Da twitched, his eyes were a little fierce, he didn't answer and asked: "You are holding a handful of silver, and you don't pull out a dime, watching your milk hurt to death, right?" ”
"Ah, I don't know if others know that my aunt is holding a bunch of dowries and refuses to sell one for money, and shows my grandmother a doctor, what will others think!"
Chu Yingying replied in a low voice.
The tone was full of threats.
Do you want to ruin my reputation? Okay, then I'll see if I have a lot of people at that time, or if your daughter Chu Changpei can't marry first!
"Okay, okay, I'm really blind, I've hurt you for so many years for such an unfilial thing!"
Chu Dadi looked deeply shocked and staggered home.
Chu Yingying: ......
Hurt her for so many years?
Is it funny?
On the side, Chu Fenfen asked with some worry: "Yingying, if we don't give a penny, will others say about us at that time?" ”
"No, it won't."
Chu Yingying is quite determined.
Chu Fenfen was a little stunned, "Really? ”
Why didn't she believe it that way?
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Han Ge pushing a small cart back.
Then he asked in passing: "Why did you ask Han Ge to go to town?" :”
"Grab something."
The little cart that made popcorn yesterday forgot to get it back.
Han Ge approached, stopped, took out a small bottle from his arms, and said to Chu Yingying: "This was given by Sima Guang, and he said that it has a miraculous effect on the treatment of scars. ”
"How much?"
"He didn't ask for money, that is, let's get any good medicinal materials in the future, just send them to the pharmacy first."
Chu Yingying was happy.
It seems that this Sima Guang is really a master who is not bad for money.
She handed the bottle to Chu Fenfen, "Sister, you can send it over." ”
"No, you can go."
Chu Fenfen is not stupid, whoever sends it over at this time is obviously the easiest to get Xiao Liu's gratitude.
This is something that my sister found, how can she snatch this credit?
Chu Yingying smiled, "Why are we sisters still so clear?" Besides, I promised to make food for Xiaotian, and I'm going to do it now, sister, go quickly. ”
"Come, Han Ge, you push the cart in."
Chu Yingying shouted again: "Come over Xiaotian, the second sister has made something to eat for you." ”
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Chu Yingying and Han Ge found firewood, put it in the middle of the cart, that is, under the iron pot, and then lit it.
When the pot was hot, she poured in a small bowl of corn kernels, stir-fried evenly, covered the pot, buckled it and began to rotate the handle.
This is specially formulated so that it is easier to burst when heated evenly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
There were several rings in a row, so frightened that Chu Xiaotian almost jumped up, hid behind Chu Yingying, and poked out a small head curiously.
Blinking her eyes, she asked Chu Yingying: "Second sister, what's wrong, the pot won't explode, right?" ”
"It's okay, you can eat it later, go, get a small bowl."
"Uh-oh."
Xiao Tian was like a little rabbit, jumping and running, and soon brought a small bowl.
After waiting for a while, there was no "bang" sound, so Chu Yingying picked up the pot and lifted the lid.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Chu Xiaotian smelled the aroma, and no longer hid behind Chu Yingying, and quickly walked to the front.
The little man stood there, his face just reaching the height of the pot, and he couldn't be greedy.
Chu Yingying smiled, poured the popcorn into the bowl, and didn't forget to slap off the slap that a villain secretly stretched out, "No, it's too hot now, you wait and eat again." ”
After speaking, Chu Yingying put the pot on the fire, dug out another piece of butter, waited for the butter to melt, poured in some corn kernels, stirred well, covered with a lid, and rotated.
"Bang bang bang!"
With a terrifying sound, Chu Xiaotian still secretly ate a few popcorns.
The little man's eyes lit up and widened, and his eyelashes were as thick as a row of small brushes.
"Giggles, it's delicious, my sister is so amazing!"
Coincidentally, Chu Fenfen came in from the door.
Hearing this, he asked, "What's so delicious?" ”
"Eldest sister, come and try it, the second sister has made a new delicious one."
Chu Xiaotian held the bowl and handed it over as if offering a treasure, allowing Chu Fenfen to taste it.
Chu Fenfen pinched a few and put them in her mouth, nodding while eating: "It's really delicious." ”
"This is not delicious, wait until this pot is ready."
Chu Yingying smiled proudly.
This popcorn still has to be buttered to be delicious.
However, in ancient times, people had never eaten popcorn at all, so it was good to eat without any taste.
When the butter popcorn came out of the pot, Chu Yingying gave it to the sister and brother to eat, and did not forget to pinch one up, and said to Han Ge, "Open your mouth." ”
The latter obediently opened his mouth, Chu Yingying put it in, and looked at him expectantly: "Taste it, is it delicious?" ”
Han Ge nodded: "It's delicious." ”
The expression on his face did not change.
Chu Yingying pursed her lips, looking forward to seeing the change in expression on a wooden man's face, it was too difficult!
But fortunately, Chu Xiaotian is very popular!
For the first time, the little guy held the bowl of butter popcorn and did not let go, and only occasionally was willing to "give" a few to others.
Chu Yingying smiled helplessly and did some more.
Then he found a paper bag and asked Chu Xiaotian to fill some popcorn without butter and go out to play.
"Remember to share it with your friends."
"Okay."
Chu Xiaotian nodded obediently.
The rest of Chu Yingying took it and went to the patriarch.
Chu Changtian was naturally extremely happy.
Chu Yingying took the opportunity to say that Chu Dadi wanted money, and Chu Changtian immediately understood, saying that it would be enough to leave the matter to him.
Then in the afternoon of the same day, everyone went to Chu Yingying's house again to learn how to make popcorn.
“…… This popcorn is best sold as soon as it is made, so delicious. But it's okay to leave it for a day, but the taste is slightly reduced. If you have money, you can make a car like this like me, and you can sell it for a long time. If you don't want to invest money, you can do it at home and sell it nearby. ”
The big guys are extremely grateful to Chu Yingying.
Therefore, when everyone came out and saw Chu Dadi standing at the door next door with a humming and chirping, pulling people to say that the Chu Wang's family was in pain to death, but when there was no money for treatment, no one sympathized with him!
Some even said directly, "Don't keep thinking about your granddaughter, I don't believe your daughter-in-law's few pieces of jewelry?" Is there really no money at home? ”
"That's it, why do you keep doing such shameless things at such an old age?"
……
Chu Dadi was scolded all the time, his face turned into an old eggplant skin, he couldn't stand the scolding of the big guy, and hurried home.
But Xiao Wang's came out-
