A loud "bang" sound can probably be heard from the head of the village to the end of the village.

This earth-shattering sound made the children's hearts itch, and they pestered their adults to scoop a bowl of rice from the rice bowl to popcorn and eat.

The popcorn vendor who walked the streets had been in the village with a wheelbarrow for a while, and he found an open space to set up his tools and was busy with his work.

There was a long queue of children who came to popcorn, and adults who had nothing to do also came to join in the fun, standing next to them and talking and laughing.

I saw a short man about fifty years old sitting on a low bench, quickly pulling the bellows with one hand and slowly shaking the handle of the pot in his hand with the other. The rhythm of the left and right hands is completely different, but there is a strange sense of harmony, which makes the onlookers let out bursts of exclamation.

Dabao had already led Xiaobao to line up, and Zhou Xiaoyun was responsible for carrying a bowl of rice and a bowl of corn. She didn't have to come to join in the fun, but she really didn't worry about the rough treasure, if he let him come with a bowl, he was afraid that half of the rice would be scattered when he got here.

When I got here, I saw that most of the children in the village had come.

At this time, there are two kinds of popcorn, one is the corn popped out and the later popcorn is similar but less sweet, and the other is the rice popped out of the small white white fragrant and crispy, adults and children love to eat.

From scooping a bowl of rice in your own rice bowl to letting the popcorn vendor process it here, the price is not expensive at most a few cents of handmade money, a bowl of rice can burst out of a dustpan of rice is enough to eat for three or four days, it is really good and very affordable. So when they heard the movement of popcorn, the adults would never save these few cents, and they all paid out of their pockets for the children to satisfy their hunger.

Dabaotou stretched out and counted the heads of the people in front of him, and there were still five before they arrived, he was really anxious, and he couldn't wait for their turn now.

The first children to come had their pockets stuffed and their mouths full of food, and they wandered around the open space and refused to leave. While eating, I chased and played with the friends I knew, and I was very happy.

Wang Jingjing walked up to Zhou Xiaoyun with half a pocket of rice flowers and asked Zhou Xiaoyun to grab some and taste them first.

Zhou Xiaoyun waved his hand again and again: "No need, we'll be there later, you can eat it yourself!" ”

Wang Jingjing had to let Zhou Xiaoyun eat first, but Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't resist her enthusiasm, handed the bowl in her hand to Dabao to hold, grabbed a handful and ate it with Wang Jingjing.

The freshly cooked rice is still hot and a little hot, but it's really sweet and crispy! It's strange, such delicious things can't be eaten when they become adults, Zhou Xiaoyun especially likes to eat this kind of rice now, which can be compared to the popcorn sold in the supermarket later.

After eating a handful quickly, Zhou Xiaoyun simply grabbed another handful and stuffed it to Xiaobao, Xiaobao couldn't be hungry for a long time, and ate it in two bites.

The popcorn vendor saw that the fire was almost over, stopped the bellows, picked up a long cloth bag four or five meters long and put it on the oval pot head, and then there was a "bang" sound, the originally deflated empty cloth bag instantly bulged, and the anxious children waiting next to him hurriedly stretched out the pockets they brought and let the vendor pour all the rice flowers in the long cloth bag into it, and then handed over the five dimes written in the sweaty palm. The next child hurriedly handed over the bowl in his hand.

The waiting time is always very long, and Dabao feels that every second is like a year. In fact, a serving of rice flowers will take five minutes at most, and finally it is Dabao's turn, and Dabao happily takes the big bowl in his hand to the vendor.

The vendor poured the rice from the bowl into a white porcelain cup, added some saccharin and stirred it a few times, and after pouring a cup of rice in the bowl, there was still a small half bowl left, and if you wanted to explode again, you had to pay for it again.

Dabao stuffed the bowl to Xiaobao and asked him to hand it home, Xiaobao had to wait to eat the newly popped rice and refused to go, Zhou Xiaoyun had no choice but to run errands. When she got home, she took a basket with her to prepare the rice.

The pocket in Dabao's hand was already half a bag, he and Xiaobao were very happy to eat one bite and one bite to the right, and the corn flowers that burst out were in the basket brought by Zhou Xiaoyun, Zhou Xiaoyun pinched one and tasted it, it was a little rough and not as delicious as the rice flower, but there was a special fragrance and taste.

The peddler worked till night, and although one was only five dimes, at least thirty or forty copies were exploded in five minutes and a half, and he made a lot of money. When it was dark and out of sight, the popcorn vendor packed up his things, put them on the wheelbarrow and pushed them away.

The delicious rice is the most popular among the children, and the whole half of the rice in the pocket containing the grain is eaten by the Zhou brothers and sisters one night and one day, and after eating the rice, it is the turn of the corn flower.

The corn is chewy, put it in your pocket, pinch one and throw it in your mouth at any time when you play, and the pocket must be bulging when Dabao goes out.

Xiaobao and Erya stayed at home and ate more, and even Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuzhen couldn't help but take advantage of the time to do things to relieve their hunger.

Soon the corn flowers at home were also eaten, Xiaobao and Erya looked at the empty pockets and baskets with blank eyes, Zhao Yuzhen coaxed: "Xiaobao Erya, wait for the popcorn people to come again in two days, and my mother will pop two bags and put them at home for you to eat slowly." ”

Erya said innocently: "Mom, when I grow up, I will also pop corn for others, so that I can eat delicious rice every day." ”

The family laughed heartily at the fairy tales.

Xiaobao began to look at the popcorn people every day, but the popcorn people didn't wait until they waited for the maltose sellers. When the shouting came, Zhao Yuzhen didn't wait for the children to urge him to take out the money for the children to buy, this money is usually for the honest and stable Zhou Xiaoyun, Dabao saw that he couldn't fight for financial power, so he gave up, and went out to buy maltose with his sister to eat.

Maltose is sticky and hard to chew, but it is sweet, sticky and fragrant, and even better is that a piece can be eaten for a long time, and it is very cheap for only a dime, which is one of the children's favorite snacks.

After a while, the Zhou brothers and sisters came back with a piece of maltose in their hands. Dabao started eating halfway, and Xiaobao and Erya were on par with the eldest brother.

Zhou Xiaoyun wanted to be more reserved and talk about it when he got home, but when he saw that his brothers, brothers and sisters had all started eating, especially Dabao's food, he finally couldn't help but eat it too.

That sweetness has been sweet in my heart for a long time.
