While Li Youwei was clearing away the dishes, Zhou Yang walked into the house and took out half a bag of corn and a pot of oil, and then took the jar of sugar to the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" Li Youwei asked with some confusion.
"I'll give you some snacks to eat while watching the movie!" Zhou Yang said.
Although this time it was just a simple outdoor movie, it was Zhou Yang and Li Youwei's first movie together, so Zhou Yang took it very seriously.
When young people in later generations watch movies, eating popcorn and drinking milk tea are standard fare. Milk tea is something they can't handle, but they can try popcorn.
"It's not necessary. I was full from what I just ate. How can I still eat it?"
Zhou Yang knew that this girl didn't want to trouble him, so he smiled and said to the little girl beside him: "Bao'er, can daddy make you some popcorn?"
The little girl had eaten popcorn once in the old house before, and she still remembers the delicious smell, and her eyes suddenly lit up!
"Dad, can you make popcorn? You are so awesome!"
Seeing his daughter's adoring eyes, Zhou Yang felt immediately filled with a sense of accomplishment.
"You and mom should rest for a while and watch dad do it for you!"
"Um!"
The home version of popcorn is not complicated. Zhou Yang has made it before, but the quantity made today may be a bit large, so Zhou Yang is worried that he cannot control the heat.
After all, Lao Li's family has a lot of little ones, so we can't let Li Youwei and Bao'er hold popcorn and let those little ones drool!
So Zhou Yang decided to do more so that everyone could get some!
The corn is grown by oneself. Although the kernels are plump, they have impurities and are a bit dry.
If you want to use these corns to produce fragrant rice popsicles, you must first remove the impurities!
This step is not very valuable, and Zhou Yang was done quickly!
Afterwards, Zhou Yang used a wet towel to rub the carefully selected corn kernels. This not only made the corn kernels cleaner, but also kept the corn kernels moist and not too dry.
In fact, Zhou Yang knew that the best way was to wash the corn and then dry it.
But unfortunately, that would be too time-consuming. Now there is less than an hour left before the movie is screened. It is obviously too late to do that, so Zhou Yang can only settle for the next best thing.
Then, Zhou Yang started to cook the pot!
This step is very critical, don't rush, you must let the pot heat evenly.
The more evenly the pot is heated, the more evenly the popcorn will pop, so that some corn kernels won’t pop while others won’t!
After the pot was hot, Zhou Yang started to add sugar!
In fact, in this step, you can also stir-fry the popcorn until it pops, then sprinkle it with sugar while it is still hot. However, Zhou Yang thinks that frying the oil, popcorn, and sugar together will give the popcorn a caramel flavor.
More sweet and delicious.
After the oil and sugar are slightly heated, you can add corn in a ratio of 1:2. The amount of corn kernels should not be too much, just enough to cover the bottom of the pot.
Then turn up the heat and stir-fry constantly to allow it to heat evenly.
Stir-fry until the first popcorn begins to pop, cover the pot, and then lower the heat.
Soon, the first pot of popcorn was made.
When the lid of the pot was lifted, the mother and daughter who were "watching" on the side suddenly widened their eyes.
The big iron pot was half full of thumb-sized popcorn, which was yellow and exuded an alluring aroma. Both Bao'er and Li Youwei couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Zhou Yang put all the popcorn in the pot into the prepared bamboo sieve and put it outside.
Since the freshly baked popcorn is covered with caramel and is easy to stick to your hands, Zhou Yang immediately said: "Don't eat it in a hurry, wait until it cools down before eating it!"
But the little girl who was already greedy could not care about this. She begged her mother to give her some popcorn before it was even out of the pot. Li Youwei had no choice but to give her a few popcorn to taste.
The sweet and fragrant popcorn is particularly delicious to chew, and the little girl was immediately conquered by this little snack.
And when Zhou Yang saw his baby daughter eating happily, he felt very satisfied!
Since your little baby likes it, do more.
Afterwards, Zhou Yang started making the second pot!
After the two pots of popcorn were finished, Zhou Yang started making homemade drinks again!
In fact, in Zhou Yang's opinion, the drink has no technical content, it is just a combination of some chemical elements.
If he has enough ingredients, he can make any drink of any flavor, including Coke and Sprite.
But unfortunately, he had nothing on hand except water and sugar.
So, Zhou Yang is just going to make a simple fruit tea!
Dissolve sugar in water, slice cucumbers, and go to Lao Yang's house next door to order two peaches into cubes. Pour everything into a basin and stir, and the simple fruit tea is finished.
Of course, how can you have a soulful drink without ice in the summer!
Knowing that his father-in-law had saltpeter at home, Zhou Yang immediately filled a bamboo sieve with a full sieve of popcorn, then covered it with a steaming cloth and headed to the old house!
Don't ask Zhou Yang how he knew the Li family had saltpeter. You need to know that those stupid gangsters from the old Li family often went to the reservoir in the back mountain to fry fish with homemade black powder!
You can't sell gunpowder, you can only make it yourself. How can you make black gunpowder without saltpeter?
When Zhou Yang came over, I had just finished dinner, and the whole family was sitting under the eaves chatting.
Seeing Zhou Yang coming over with a bamboo sieve, his sister-in-law Lin Aizhi said hurriedly: "Have you eaten, uncle? There is still porridge and steamed buns in the house!"
Zhou Yang said hurriedly: "I've eaten. I just made some popcorn when I had nothing to do. Bring it to the children to try!"
"Popcorn?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They had never heard of a popcorn craftsman in the village!
The children didn't care about this. When they heard that there was popcorn to eat, they all gathered around.
Zhou Yang placed the bamboo sieve on the small dining table and asked his sister-in-law to share it with the children.
When the steaming cloth was lifted, everyone was shocked.
This popcorn is completely different from what they have eaten before. Not only is it big, but it also smells like caramel, which is so tempting!
"Brother-in-law, did you go to the commune to pop this popcorn? It's so delicious!" Fourth sister-in-law Zhong Na asked after tasting one.
"No, it was caused by me using a cooking pot at home!" Zhou Yang said truthfully.
"Can your own big iron pot also make popcorn?" Zhong Na obviously didn't believe it.
"Of course I can. I can teach it to you someday when I have time. If the children are greedy, I can make it for them in the future!"
"That's great!"
After a few simple words, Zhou Yang and his father-in-law asked for some saltpeter.
After learning that he just wanted to make some ice cubes, Li Fengnian didn't say anything and asked Li Jianguo to get a small bag for Zhou Yang.
Afterwards, Zhou Yang took the saltpeter and left the old house with satisfaction!
After returning home, Zhou Yang started making ice cubes non-stop.
Finally, just as the movie was about to start, his ice was ready.
Put the ice cubes into the army green kettle, pour the prepared fruit tea, and you have a homemade iced drink.
Later, Zhou Yang made three paper cups out of old newspapers. After filling them with popcorn, the family of three took small stools and headed to the screening venue.
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.
He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.
A single dorm?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my own body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him!
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
My body and appearance have all changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed beside the bed, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:???
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
Pet animal breeding base.
Intern pet breeder. Provide you with the rebirth of the master Dashang Yue 1975: tearing up the return to the city transfer order at the beginning
