Chapter 36: Popcorn

For the next few days, the weather was cloudy. The sun was out in the morning, and at noon it was a shower. And so on and so forth, and the rest of the things can't be done.

Ye went to the town to pick up some embroidery work and came back to do it, which was to earn some money to subsidize the family, and it was also to pass the time. Li Jinshu knew that embroidering things for a long time was not good for her eyes, so she didn't agree with what she did, but in the end she was persuaded by Ye.

Anyway, she is also an adult, so she didn't say anything more. There was nothing to do, Li Jinshu simply went into the kitchen to study what to eat. The most important thing in the family is corn, so she began to think of corn.

In modern times, there are many people who eat fresh corn, but not many people eat dried corn. Fortunately, grinding corn into flour can still make a lot of delicacies, so it is not too difficult to study this Li Jinshu.

But doing it back and forth, she can only make things like a nest head, corn steamed buns, and corn cakes. These Xia people can do it, so it's not new at all, and they can't sell much if they want to sell it.

At this moment of sorrow, Li Jinshu suddenly had an idea to think of a modern snack - popcorn. This sweet puffed food is a modern favorite, and it's not difficult to make.

But...... She also knew that it seemed that the corn kernels needed to make popcorn were not ordinary corn kernels, and she didn't know if the corn in this summer country would work.

I'm not sure, but I'll always have to try to figure it out. Li Jinshu prepared the materials and began to work.

She used to make some food to pass the time after work, so she also made popcorn. There was no butter here, so she used vegetable oil instead. Start making it based on your previous experience.

The first time, I didn't control the oil temperature, so I didn't succeed in popping the corn into flowers. But a few grains of corn opened a snow-white mouth, which gave Li Jinshu hope.

After a few trials, she found the sweet spot and finally succeeded in turning the corn into a popcorn. However, the time of putting the sugar was not well controlled, so the popcorn that came out of the pot at the end was a little mushy, and it looked black and tasted a little bitter.

However, the taste of popcorn was still there, and Li Jinshu immediately jumped up excitedly.

On one last attempt, she finally succeeded in making popcorn. Compared to modern popcorn, there is still a slight difference in taste, but the taste is exactly the same.

I didn't expect to use the corn of Xia Guo to successfully make modern popcorn. Li Jinshu happily held these puffed foods for Ye and Zhao Hui to taste. Ye Shi tasted one and couldn't help but nod again and again. Zhao Hui also rarely said: "It's delicious." ”

Li Jinshu looked at the bowl of popcorn in front of him, as if he had seen the silver of the white flowers, and the whole person couldn't close his mouth with a smile. The new business was settled.

Because of the previous sale of snails, the mother and daughter have become "celebrities" in the town. Although it will not reach the point of becoming a household name, as long as they put their stalls in the vegetable market, they will naturally attract a lot of customers.

Even if the popcorn is not heated, it will not affect the taste, so Li Jinshu simply made the things at home, and then carried them to the town to sell. While rushing to the market, the mother and daughter plus Zhao Hui carried a big bag and rushed to Mingyang Town to sell popcorn by car.

The people of Mingyang Town have never seen this kind of snack before, and they heard that it is made of corn, so they have to pay for it immediately after tasting it.

The corn in the town sells for three cents a pound, and one pound of corn can make fifteen servings of popcorn, so Li Jinshu's price for popcorn is only two cents a pack. The puffed pack of popcorn looks like a lot, so others don't feel at a loss when they buy it.

Excluding the cost of corn, oil, and sugar, this business is a sure bet!
