After a while, Zhou Bin and Aniu came back. He bought some candies and some white sugar.
Aunt Zhao, Li Jun, and Liu Fen'e all came. They had only seen people making popcorn in black cans before, but had never seen popcorn made in a large iron pot, so they were quite curious and wanted to see this rare sight.
Zhou Bin moved out the largest iron pot in the kitchen, then piled up firewood in the yard, put the big iron pot on it, and started to light the fire.
After the pot was hot, he asked Li Nan to scoop a large porcelain bowl of corn beans, then poured all the corn beans into the pot, sprinkled some sugar and white sugar on it, and then covered the pot.
Everyone stared at Zhou Bin busying around, their eyes full of curiosity, wondering if this thing could really turn into popcorn?
According to this, the corn beans they usually put into the pot should also be able to become popcorn! But I have never heard of anyone saying that popcorn can be made in this way.
Just as everyone was staring at the big iron pot with wide eyes, suddenly there was a crisp sound from the pot: "Pah!" Everyone was startled, followed by the second and third sounds, and then the crackling sounds in the pot became one.
Zhou Bin held the lid of the pot tightly, fearing that the popcorn inside would pop out.
Everyone was stunned. What on earth was going on?
Before anyone could figure out what was happening, the noise from the pot gradually died down, and after a while, it stopped.
Zhou Bin smiled slightly: "Popcorn is out of the oven!"
As he spoke, he lifted the lid of the pot, and a puff of white steam came out. Everyone took a look and were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.
What was a bowl of corn beans just now has now turned into most of a pot of popcorn, which is steaming and looks especially delicious.
Especially the sweetness and fragrance of popcorn that spreads everywhere, making people unable to move away once they smell it.
Ah Niu immediately shouted, "Brother! Did this really turn into popcorn?"
Aunt Zhao also sighed: "My God! I am really enlightened! This is faster than the popcorn machine!"
Li Nan looked at the magical scene in astonishment, feeling that it was somewhat like a dream.
Just now when Zhou Bin said he wanted to make popcorn, she was a little bit unconvinced. But now seeing half a pot of fragrant popcorn, she was completely convinced.
Liu Fen'e couldn't wait to say, "Li Nan, grab a handful for us to taste what it tastes like!"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Everyone come and try it and see how it tastes."
Liu Fen'e was the first to reach out and grab a handful, then quickly stuffed two into her mouth and immediately shouted, "Delicious, so delicious!"
She felt that this popcorn was completely different from any she had eaten before. It was crispy and crunchy, with the fragrance of corn and the sweetness of sugar. It was simply delicious!
When Xiaohua saw it, she immediately shouted, "Dad, I want to eat it too. Let me have a taste of what it tastes like."
Zhou Bin grabbed a handful with a smile and put them into Xiaohua's little hand. Xiaohua ate five or six in one gulp and immediately jumped up because of the delicious taste.
Afterwards, Aniu, Li Jun, Aunt Zhao and Liu Junyi each grabbed a handful, and Zhou Bin also grabbed a handful for his father. Everyone ate it and found it crunchy, fragrant and sweet, and all had incredible expressions on their faces.
Zhou Bin grabbed another handful and handed it to Li Nan. Li Nan took two and put them in his mouth. He immediately said in surprise: "Brother Bin, this popcorn tastes really good!"
Just like that, a group of people ate popcorn, talked and laughed happily, and immediately attracted the attention of people around them.
Later, Wang Haichao, Wang Quanwa, Liu Genshe and Zheng Deming all came. Gradually, the news of Zhou Bin making popcorn spread in the village, and everyone in the village came to watch the fun.
Adults brought their children, old men brought their wives, and even those with disabilities came over with crutches.
Zhou Bin's yard suddenly became lively. The adults were eating popcorn and chatting with each other, while the children were playing and chasing each other in groups in the yard.
Some children accidentally dropped a few popcorns, and the other children immediately swarmed over, picking them up, blowing off the dirt on them, and stuffing them into their mouths without caring whether the ground was clean or not.
Xiaohua watched the children chasing and playing and laughed happily. She had not experienced such a lively scene for a long time.
Zhou Jianming was smoking a cigarette while squatting under the eaves with Liu Junyi, happily watching this rare lively scene.
Liu Junyi said sincerely: "Jianming, your Zhou Bin is getting more and more capable. How come he can do everything? Why have I never seen corn like this before?"
Zhou Jianming exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "I haven't seen it either. Zhou Bin said he bought it in Dongyuan Village."
"Well, I think Zhou Bin is no ordinary kid. He will definitely be able to do great things in the future!" Liu Junyi said after hesitating for a while.
Zhou Jianming looked very happy, but he still said, "Well! As long as the baby is safe and sound, it's enough. I never thought he could do anything great."
Liu Junyi smiled and said, "Jianming, I think Zhou Bin will definitely be a great man in our village in the future. You will enjoy great fortune with him in the future!"
Zhou Jianming laughed: "I am enjoying great fortune now. If my son needs me in the future, I will help him. If he doesn't need me, I will keep silent."
Liu Junyi was happy: "Jianming, you are right. The kids have grown up, and we are all old. We will rely on them in the future."
Zhou Jianming flicked the ash off his cigarette and smiled: "Yes, you old man are becoming more and more understanding."
Liu Junyi immediately said, "Jianming, your family is getting better and better. It can be said that there are few people in our village who can catch up with you. Don't let your eldest brother bully you anymore. He is too selfish!"
Zhou Jianming nodded: "Alas! My eldest brother is just like that. I won't care about him anymore. He can do whatever he wants. I won't care about him anyway."
