As soon as the corn brought by Ah Bing appeared, Liu Yuan let out an "ah", pointed to the corn in surprise and said, "This corn ...... Isn't this corn sold by the exotic merchants of the city of mule and horses? ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

Wen Mingtang nodded, glanced at Liu Yuan, who didn't know the grains, with some surprise, and said, "It's that corn!" ”

The reason why Liu Yuan, who couldn't even distinguish between garlic leaves and leeks, was able to accurately identify the "variety" of this corn was not because his knowledge suddenly soared in just a few days, but because he had not resisted Hu Shang's boast of "chirping and croaking" when he visited the mule and horse market first, and couldn't help but be curious to buy some back, and then ......

Liu Yuan pointed to the grain that was smaller and stronger than ordinary corn kernels, and at a glance he still faintly looked at the somewhat transparent corn kernels, and his face was frightened: "This corn is unpalatable, Master Wen doesn't believe those nonsense of those Hu merchants, it's better to use our own corn!" ”

Wen Mingtang looked at Liu Yuan with a frightened face, and couldn't help laughing: "Hu Shang, it's not all nonsense, if this corn is boiled and eaten, it will not have the soft and sweet taste of our Darong's corn, but if you make this snack called popcorn, it is very suitable!" ”

After that, he took a piece of butter and put it in the pot, and when the butter was melted and the smell of milk spread, he immediately scooped a small bowl of corn kernels and poured it into the butter.

Liu Yuan looked at the corn kernels poured into the butter curiously, and was about to ask Wen Mingtang if the corn was fried and eaten, when he heard a "pop" sound, and one of the corn kernels visible to the naked eye suddenly burst open, and a white flower like a "cloud" appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Liu Yuan was dumbfounded: This is ...... Is this a trick?

Just as he was about to speak, Wen Mingtang in the room quickly picked up the lid of the pot on the side when the first corn kernel burst.

Then, I only heard a burst of "crackling" explosions like firecrackers coming from the pot, and as the sound became louder and louder, Wen Mingtang lifted the pot and shook it back and forth on the fire.

When I finally felt that it was almost over, I reluctantly lifted the lid of the pot, and there was only a small bowl before the lid was closed, and the corn kernels that couldn't even cover the bottom of the pot had completely expanded to fill a whole pot at this time, and all the popcorn that bloomed like clouds in the pot was poured on the oiled paper to cool, and Wen Mingtang quickly began to make the second pot of popcorn.

The crowd on the side couldn't help but gather around the pile of freshly made popcorn: the blooming popcorn was light and fluffy, exuding a rich aroma of corn and bovine frankincense.

This fragrance is really attractive, Liu Yuan subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and was about to reach out to take it, but he heard the soup balls shouting: "Liu Sicheng is slow!" ”

Although he was also hooked by the rich corn fragrance and bovine frankincense, Tang Yuan still remembered what Wen Mingtang had said before, and firmly stared at Liu Yuan, who couldn't help but try it the most, and reached out to protect the popcorn on the table like a calf, and said: "This popcorn is not good, and wait!" ”

As he spoke, the caramel in Wen Mingtang's pot had been boiled, and he poured the popcorn on the table into the pot, flipped the pot, and let the caramel coat each popcorn before pouring it out again!

Walking around the caramel sauce, the white popcorn "body" has been wrapped in a layer of yellow-brown caramel syrup, and the original aroma of corn grains and bovine frankincense is mixed with a rich caramel fragrance, and the fragrance is mixed with each other and fused together, and the fragrance of caramel milk tea that day is the same, forming a unique fragrance that belongs to popcorn.

Smelling the sweet and rich aroma of popcorn in the air, Liu Yuan swallowed his saliva and asked the rice balls: "Little ancestor, can you eat it now?" ”

Tang Yuan rolled his eyelids, quickly picked up a grain of popcorn, and quickly threw it into his mouth: "Well, you can eat it, you can eat it!" ”

The caramel syrup on the surface of the freshly made popcorn has not yet solidified, and it is slightly sticky, and the sweet aroma of the caramel is in the mouth, as for the taste of the popcorn...... It's a bit unexpected.

Different from the sweet and soft texture of ordinary corn, the texture of this popcorn is crispy, and there is a "snapping" sound when biting, but this crispy and different from ordinary crispy things, it is probably due to the fluffy, cloud-like "body", which seems to be extraordinarily "fluffy".

One bite at a time, the rice balls simply love the taste of this sweet snack called popcorn.

Seeing that the rice balls were eaten, Liu Yuan immediately stepped forward and grabbed a large handful in his hand, and then couldn't wait to throw one into his mouth.

The crispy, fluffy and sweet taste of the entrance made Liu Yuan, who had been hungry for a long time, suddenly squint his eyes pleasantly, one bite at a time, and when the last grain in his palm was sent to his mouth, he couldn't help but sigh: "My hands are not small, and I also grabbed a lot of them just now, but this thing is too fluffy, and I will eat such a large handful in a while!" ”

The pot of caramel popcorn just came out of the pot and was piled up high when it was poured on the oiled paper, like a hill, and there were only a few scattered at this time! Ah Bing, who was quick-eyed, immediately stretched out his hand and swept it all into his arms, and then ...... Quietly distributed the rice balls on the side.

Liu Yuan: "......" this action, is it when they can't see it?

let out a sigh of emotion, and was about to speak, when I saw Wen Mingtang, who had made another pot of popcorn, poured out the finished popcorn, and started to make caramel sauce!

It's just that in addition to the sugar and water just now, Wen Mingtang actually grabbed a small pinch of salt into it.

Liu Yuan, who saw this move, was startled, and immediately exclaimed and tried to stop it: "Master Wen, it's wrong!" Wrong! ”

"That's right!" Lin Fei, who was slowly eating a handful of popcorn on the side, was looking down at Wen Mingtang's fried syrup, and when he heard the words, he said casually, "When it is salty and sweet, the sweet caramel sauce has a strong aroma, if you add a little saltiness, it should be delicious!" ”

The flavors of the world are never black and white, so why can't sweet and salty coexist at the same time? Just like salty meat dishes, a little sugar will be added to enhance the freshness.

Wen Mingtang, who fried the syrup almost the same, subconsciously glanced at Lin Fei when he heard this, and said, "Lin Shaoqing is right!" Feel relieved! This salty and sweet will not be lost to the sweet! ”

As I spoke, the popcorn wrapped in salty and sweet syrup was already out of the pot! Compared to everyone who only pinched one grain to try it, Lin Fei reached out and grabbed a large handful, and then ate it slowly.

A few people who tried it had reached out to grab the popcorn on the countertop again: Master Wen was right, this sweet and slightly salty taste seemed to be richer than the original caramel flavor.

Thinking like this, Lin Fei, who was eating salty and sweet popcorn, spoke: "Master Wen, can milk tea also make such a taste?" ”
