In the evening, after cleaning up the house, the sisters began to cook their meals.

After dinner, the star fruit, who was not very relieved, went to dig a hole with a small shovel. Rice Peach followed behind her to help, Cotton Peach was washing the dishes, and Cherry leaned over to the side of the pot and silently began to tinker with her popcorn. Walnut followed Cherry, and she felt that the fourth sister was going to make something new this time.

In fact, the production of this popcorn is quite simple, as long as there is a pot and a spatula, corn and sugar. At this time, the sugar industry was underdeveloped, and white sugar had not yet appeared, so Cherries planned to save this step. Anyway, the original popcorn tastes good, and people who have never tasted it are still easier to deal with and should be able to love it.

A small bowl of corn quietly scooped from the grain bag in the East House was washed, dried, and mixed with lard. Peanut oil should be used, but rural people eat pork fat, and there is only pork fat at home, so they can only make do with it. Mix the oil and corn kernels well, then let the walnuts burn, bring the bottom of the pan to a boil, then sprinkle the corn into it and cover the pan.

The hardest step is stir-frying. In modern times, the simplest popcorn pot is with a stirring spatula on the lid, which can seal the steam inside, and it can be stir-fried constantly, otherwise it is easy to paste the pot. In this era where Cherry is located, the iron industry is still extremely backward, how can there be that kind of pot lid? She had to do it herself, tied the family's vegetable shovel to a long branch, and then left a thin slit on the edge of the lid of the cauldron, put the branch into it, and kept stir-frying.

Walnuts were burning there: "Fourth sister, what is this for?" Is fried corn eaten? But how can you eat dry corn when it's fried? Besides, why don't you put some soy sauce and some salt? ”

"You'll know in a moment, it's delicious!!" Cherry made a silent gesture: "Shhh You be quiet, don't let the eldest sister and the second sister hear! "Star fruit and rice peach are digging holes in the Xili house, cotton peach is washing dishes in the yard, and no one is finding out what the cherry is doing for the time being.

"Oh!" Walnut nodded obediently and started the fire seriously.

After a while, there was a crackling sound in the pot, and the fragrance began to emit out.

Mi Tao was frightened by the sound of 'Gu Dong Gu Dong' ran out, and when she saw Cherry and Walnut burning the fire, she wrung her eyebrows and said, "What are you doing, you just finished eating, and you are hungry again?" Isn't there still some leftovers, what are you doing to make a fire? ”

"What's the sound" star fruit also ran out: "Hey, what kind of smell is this, so fragrant?" ”

"Hey, stir-fry some popcorn for you to taste." Seeing that several sisters were running over, Cherry couldn't hide it anymore, so she simply smiled: "This is what Brother Qingzhu taught me." I'm going to take it to town tomorrow and try it out. ”

"What's that" Mi Tao sniffed her nose and stepped forward with great interest: "Don't say it, it's really fragrant!" ”

"That's nature!" Cherry told the walnuts to turn the heat down, stir-fry a few more times, lift the lid, and put out the popcorn. After the small bowl of corn poured into it was burst, a porcelain basin couldn't hold it, so I found a bamboo plate to fill it.

"Taste it" cherry I took one first, hot mouth, fragrant, the taste is a little soft, and it is estimated to be crispy when it is cooled.

Several star fruit people picked it up and tasted it, and they all said it was delicious. The walnuts kept eating one after another: "Fourth sister, this thing is really delicious, how does Brother Qingzhu know?" ”

"Naturally delicious! It tastes better when it cools for a while. If you can add some sugar to it, it will taste even better. Cherry smiled and looked at the sisters slightly: "What's the matter?" If this thing is sold to those who listen to the play, and eat it while watching the play, is it possible? ”

"Okay, why not?" Mian Tao kept nodding: "This thing is novel, I've never seen it." If you use it as a snack when listening to a play, it would be great. ”

"I'll take it to Brother Qingzhu to taste it tomorrow. If he thinks I'm good at it, he'll help me recommend it to Peng's restaurant. Cherry smiled and made things up in a different way. Anyway, his family and Sun Qingzhu generally can't meet each other, so it is estimated that it is unlikely that they will be exposed. She really couldn't think of any other pretense.

"Did he really say that?" Carambola was overjoyed and said happily: "I heard that he is a capable person, and the restaurants are fighting for him." If he speaks, how can he not listen? ”

Mian Tao said lightly: "It turns out that he told you this yesterday." If so, the Sun family is a great benefactor to us. ”

"Yes" Star fruit also nodded: "If it weren't for Uncle Chang Sheng helping us sell wild ducks and rabbits, we might be cheated if we find others." Brother Wenhai also learned from Uncle Chang Sheng from slaughtering pigs, and now Qingzhu has taught cherries such a way to make money. We owe a lot to others. ”

Mi Tao hugged her shoulders indifferently: "Look at the two of you, people don't want us to remember, what are you doing so nervous?" Now let's make money first, and then talk about it, the matter of repaying the favor, with money, why can't you report it? As he spoke, he turned around and picked up the bamboo plate: "This thing is so delicious for me to eat, let's send this plate to the uncle's house." Our sister-in-law doesn't like to eat much these days, the meat is too oily, and the vegetarian is too vegetarian. I guess I can love this thing. ”

"Hey, by the way, send a plate to my sister-in-law to eat." The star fruit grabbed another handful of them on the plate: "You can send it now." ”

"Hmm." Mi Tao left in response

The sisters talked happily for a while, and Mi Tao ran in from outside: "Big sister!" Eldest sister! It turns out that our sister-in-law has it! ”

"What's up?" Star fruit didn't react for a while, and Cherry and Cotton Peach had already covered their mouths with joy.

"Pregnant wow!!" Mi Tao was happy: "No wonder she doesn't like to eat these days, she dares to be pregnant." As he spoke, he clapped his hands: "Great, let's be a little aunt this time." ”

"Look at you happy like this," star fruit said to others, and her own eyes narrowed together with joy.

The sisters ate and laughed, and talked for a while, and then they went back to work, until late at night, when they simply wiped them and fell asleep.

After breakfast on the second day, the cherries and cotton peaches carried the peeled sea prickles the day before yesterday and prepared to send them to the Pengjia Restaurant, and signed the deed by the way. Then, Cherry went to Leminfang again to find Sun Qingzhu.

Delivering the goods at Pengjia Restaurant, Cherry took the contract and read it several times, and asked the shopkeeper to add a few pieces, and then asked the shopkeeper to add a few pieces, and then he was relieved to call the cotton peach stick. The two sisters who provoked the shopkeeper were not simple.

Out of Peng's restaurant, the two sisters went their separate ways.

Mian Tao has to go to the market, buy some necessities for the family, and then go straight home. Cherry walked towards the town's residential area, Lemin Fang.

When I arrived at Liusun Street, I inquired about Xiaomao Hutong, and finally found Sun Changsheng's home.

His house has the same blue brick walls as the front and back yards, and there is no difference from the outside. stepped forward and knocked on the door, and someone immediately responded, it was Sun Qingzhu: "You are here"

"Brother Qingzhu." Cherry bent her eyes and smiled happily into the yard: "Your house is really big. "When I walked in, I found that this yard was really large, about three times the size of my own yard, but the house was relatively simple, with only three main rooms and no wings. The whole big yard was empty, and the ground was all paved with bluestone, which felt empty and a little weird.

"I practice dancing here on weekdays, so I haven't built another house. This field, just right. When Sun Qingzhu is not singing, he has a pure male voice, rich and clear, and he can't hear a female voice at all.

"Oh" Cherry nodded, and followed Sun Qingzhu towards the hall.

"Come, drink tea. Water boiled for you. As soon as he entered the house, as soon as he sat down, Sun Qingzhu handed over a blue and white tea cup, and the tea leaves in it were fragrant and steaming.

"Huh? What's wrong with your hand," Cherry saw his left thumb wrapped in gauze.

Sun Qingzhu smiled shyly, his curved eyes and pink cheeks were bright and bright: "My father got up early to sell meat, so I had to make my own fire and boil water." I accidentally burned it. I never touch these at home because I want to be on stage often, but when I touch it today, I make it look like this, which really makes you laugh. ”

"I'll just drink a sip of boiled water, why bother you so much? Burned his hands again. Hearing that it was for herself, Cherry hurriedly politely said: "It's all my fault." ”

"Where?" Sun Qingzhu smiled lightly and waved his hand gently: "It's nothing, it's nothing." If anyone else comes, I don't care. But if you come, I will boil water and make tea. You're not the same as those individuals. As he spoke, the good-looking phoenix eyes blinked lightly, and said, "Can you bring something?" ”

"Brought." Cherry took out the popcorn wrapped in a small wrapper, and brought it closer: "No, I made it last night, and it was not so crispy overnight, you taste it first." ”

"Okay." Sun Qingzhu stretched out his slender and moist fingers, gently twisted one, and put it in his mouth to eat.

Cherry sighed lightly, look at people, you can eat something so elegant, in comparison, she is really vulgar and vulgar......

"The aroma is tangy, crispy and fragrant, and it tastes good, and it is really good to use the core without peeling the skin and removing the core." Sun Qingzhu tasted a few, bent his eyes and nodded: "Yes, yes, if you sell it, someone will love to eat it." ”

"Really?" Cherry hugged his fists: "Then I still need Brother Qingzhu's help." ”

"That's no problem. I'm going to find the shopkeeper of Peng's Restaurant this afternoon. However, if you sell this alone, it's a bit monotonous. It's better to go home and ask your sister to fry some more melon seeds, pickle some dates, and sell them together, it will be better. ”

"My second sister can pickle dates, as for melon seeds and peanuts, they come out of the restaurant directly, and they have to ask others to earn a share, right?" Cherry tapped her palm: "I'll go home and discuss with my second sister about the dates." As for the restaurant, Brother Qingzhu will be in trouble. If they wish, I will share 30% of their net profits. This is what she has thought about a long time ago, and thirty percent is not less, and there is no money in the restaurant.

In the afternoon, Sun Qingzhu went to talk to the big shopkeeper, and the big shopkeeper agreed to the matter.

On the second day, as soon as the cherry popcorn was served, it was sold out.
