Chapter 406 Popcorn
Zheng Sisi said: "This is a light stir-fry. If you like a stronger flavor, you can add some garlic and stir-fry until fragrant before adding the winter melon, then add a little chili powder, and add some soy sauce for color before serving."
The cook said, "I'll try another one."
Then I took the pan out and fried it again. The winter melon I fried according to the county bishop's steps tasted stronger, but tastier. Several people who tried it said it was good.
The cook said, "I'll fry it like this."
When it was time to eat, the people who had gone back to dig sweet potatoes also came back. Seeing the new dishes on the table, Zhong Ruiyu said, "Fortunately, I didn't stay at home for dinner, otherwise I would have missed this delicacy again."
Zheng Sisi asked, "When you guys go back, have you harvested the corn at home?"
Several people shook their heads, and Zhong Ruiyu said, "You didn't tell me to collect it!"
Zheng Sisi was furious, blaming herself for being forgetful. Luckily it hadn't rained recently, otherwise everything would have been ruined.
She said, "Okay, it's all my fault. You can all arrange for someone to go back and pass on the message tomorrow, saying that it's OK to collect it."
Zhong Ruiyu added: "That's not necessary. Aren't they all going to come and dig sweet potatoes tomorrow? Just tell everyone and they'll know."
Everyone covered their mouths and laughed. Zheng Sisi put her hands on her hips and said, "Hey, you have found a very good excuse for wanting to be lazy!"
Zhong Ruiyu chuckled: "I learned this from you, sis."
Zheng Sisi was so angry that she wanted to say something, but Sheng Zhen pulled her aside and said, "Don't be angry. There's no need to bother with him. Come and eat. I won't give him the popcorn later."
Zheng Sisi immediately calmed down: "Yes, I'll make him envious to death later, hahaha!"
Several people pricked up their ears to listen, thinking that something like popcorn should be delicious, but the two of them kept silent.
Zhong Ruiyu was anxiously wondering: "Sister Sisi, what is popcorn?"
Zheng Sisi ignored him, picked up a piece of food for Sheng Zhen with chopsticks, and said gently: "Sheng Zhen, eat."
Sheng Zhen: "Well, you eat too." He smiled and put the food that Zheng Sisi picked for him into his mouth. It was delicious.
Seeing that Zhong Ruiyu was still worried about popcorn, Li Ziyan said, "Sister Sisi once said that popcorn is made from old corn and is a snack."
When Zhong Ruiyu heard that it was a delicious snack, he immediately admitted his mistake and apologized: "Sister Sisi, I'm sorry, I'm a bad mouth. I will never talk back again. Please forgive me!" As he said this, he slapped his lips in cooperation.
Zheng Sisi looked at him and said arrogantly, "It depends on my mood."
After dinner, everyone came back from their walk and waited in the flower hall, waiting for delicious popcorn.
When Zheng Sisi walked into the flower hall, everyone stared at her with wide eyes. Seeing her coming in empty-handed, Zhong Ruiyu jumped up and asked, "Sister Sisi, where's the popcorn?"
Zheng Sisi ignored him and found a seat to sit down. Sheng Zhen brought her tea: "Thank you for your hard work. Have some tea."
Zheng Sisi took the tea and gave him a thumbs up.
Just then, two maids came in with light steps, each holding a bamboo basket full of food.
When the bamboo baskets were placed on the table, everyone saw that they were filled to the point of almost overflowing.
What are contained in these bamboo baskets are piles of small flowers that are as white as snow with small yellow dots.
"Wow! So beautiful!" Three exclamations were heard at the same time, the voices full of surprise and curiosity.
The three little sisters who were originally sitting in their seats stood up at the same time and quickly gathered around the two bamboo baskets filled with popcorn.
Their eyes sparkled with excitement and joy, as if the popcorn in front of them was the most precious treasure in the world.
Girls' love for beautiful things seems to be innate.
They gently touched the popcorn with their hands, feeling their soft touch; they carefully observed each flower, admiring their unique shapes and colors.
Their faces were filled with happy smiles, as if they were in a sea of flowers in a fairy tale world.
Several boys were also shocked. They didn't expect that such a small kernel of corn could grow so big.
Zhong Ruiyu was quick and grabbed two pills and put them into his mouth.
"Crack, crack" a crisp and pleasant sound rang out: "Delicious, so fragrant, so sweet!"
Then he reached out and grabbed a handful, saying, "It's really delicious, eat it quickly!"
Li Ziyan said: "It's so beautiful, I can't bear to eat it."
Zheng Sisi found it funny, and she said, "This is food. No matter how pretty it is, it is still eaten. Zhong Ruiyu, take it easy. Eating too much popcorn will make you get irritated. You will get pimples on your face tomorrow."
Zheng Zhiyuan was surprised and said, "What? Such a beautiful thing is poisonous."
