Interstellar Farming: The sick and weak male protagonist is struggling to survive on money

Chapter 258 Popcorn

How old?
This is a sensitive issue.

Nian Shutong squatted on the ground, raised his head, and asked with unfriendly eyes: "Why are you asking this?"

Rubble has already started to operate, and the movements of his hands are non-stop and fast.

"Because Rubi found that Ms. Nian Shutong was a little naive for the first time, and wanted to know your age so as to make a more accurate inference."

"You can think of rubble as collecting data."

Nian Shutong continued to squat, her eyes fixed on the movement of the rubble, and she was considering whether she should tell the rubble.

In the previous life, Nian Shutong had practiced for 120 years, and he had already reached the tribulation, he was truly a genius.Although he was struck to death by lightning, didn't he come back to life?

"Ahem——I'm... twenty... years old."

In the end, Nian Shutong told Rua Li the age of this body.

For some reason, Rubble stopped what she was doing and tilted her head.A pair of big eyes of the mechanical race stared at Nian Shutong motionlessly.

"Not at all! Are you dead?"

Nian Shutong looked at the suddenly static rubble, stood up, and tapped his head with one finger.

Rua Shi's eyes finally moved, and a finger blocked Nian Shutong's tapping action.

"Ms. Nian Shutong, it's normal for you to be naive."

20 years old, really young in StarCraft, the age of just coming of age.

Generally speaking, you are just ready to go to university at this age, of course, the premise is that you can be admitted to university.

childish?

Who is childish?
Nian Shutong thought about it, didn't he just eat popcorn?Who stipulates that children must be able to eat, what a fuss.

She smiled maliciously, and asked rubble who turned to work again: "Rabbit, popcorn is made, do you want to eat it?"

Rubble replied calmly: "I want to eat."

"Oh—don't you despise the childishness of eating popcorn?"

"The rubble is at the age of the machine race, a child, not yet an adult."

That said, Rubble is childish as it should be.

What is this nonsense?Does she look more old town?
Nian Shutong didn't feel comforted at all.

"Old man, I think you are very young."

Ji Sisi realized it later and flattered her.

"Hehehe... Thank you."

"Hey, you're welcome." Ji Sisi happily continued to work, and the boss thanked me.

Finally, Nian Shutong didn't have to wait for a long time, and the speed of the rubble was as fast as ever. After she got the popcorn machine, the rubble and Ji Sisi stopped working and followed curiously.

At this time, no matter who is naive, eating popcorn is more important.

Nian Shutong took an old-fashioned hand popcorn machine and walked to the open space.

The black, butt-bellied old hand-cranked machine was secured by Nian Shutong, with a small pot of charcoal fire underneath, and a long bag attached to the other side of the machine.

She was also interested in playing, stood up high, and shouted at the children around the cabin: "Children, popcorn!"

"Boom popcorn!"

"Boom popcorn!"

"Boom popcorn!"

The children didn't know what it was at all, but Doudou and Hualao shouted at first, and they followed suit.

A group of children came running and chasing after each other, cheering and shouting, and they all surrounded Nian Shutong.

She herself was very playful, and according to Dao Dao's teaching, she first had a pot of corn kernels.

Put a little corn, some saccharine, and start shaking.

On this popcorn machine, there is a small round meter showing the pressure, as long as it reaches the red line, she can stop.

According to Dao Dao's analysis, this kind of popcorn is extraordinarily delicious.

The children were not bored at all, and squatted around Nian Shutong curiously, watching them all the time.

What is the boss doing?
Rubble, Mr. Hua, and Ji Sisi also squatted down, and the three of them started a small class.

Elder Hua changed his identity in a second, from an old kid watching the excitement and waiting to eat, into an image of a respected teacher.

"This black machine is constantly heated by the charcoal fire below, which will put the corn inside under high pressure and high temperature."

Rubble nodded slightly and said: "The temperature inside the pot is rising, and the pressure of the gas is also increasing."

Ji Sisi went on to say: "When the temperature reaches a certain height, the corn will soften, the water vapor in the corn kernels will be evaporated, and the pressure inside will be too high, causing the corn kernels to expand."

Rubble continued: "But at this time, the pressure inside and outside the corn is balanced, so the corn will not burst in the pot."

Ji Sisi pointed to the long cloth bag outside and said, "So this cloth bag is used for this."

Nian Shutong, who was shaking the handle, suddenly felt that popping popcorn was a little less fun.

She wanted to drive these people away.

"It's time." Mr. Hua stopped precisely, without even looking at the instruments on the machine.

Feeling like an illiterate Nian Shutong, he lowered his head and saw that he had arrived.

Forget it, if you are illiterate, you can be illiterate. Anyway, she has three great talents here.

Nian Shutong had already stood up, holding the popcorn machine in one hand, and said to the children next to him, "Stay away, cover your ears, it will be loud."

She put the machine on the ground by herself, and instantly removed the sealing device.

"Boom—"

With a sound, the children were not afraid, but jumped up excitedly.

"Popcorn!"

"Popcorn!"

"Popcorn!"

It turns out that on the ground now, there is a little fish that slipped through the net, and it was collapsed.

Moreover, the unique fragrance of popcorn has already wafted away, it's just that the children are restraining themselves from stepping forward.

On the other hand, Hua Lao was taken aback, patted his chest, and was comforted by Doudou beside him.

The rubble wasn't too strong, it seemed that only Ji Sisi was better, jumping excitedly with the children.

Nian Shutong walked to the other end of the pocket, unbuttoned it, and took the dustpan from Fu Yunhe.

"Clean."

"Thank you beauty."

She poured the popcorn into the dustpan, and when she got up, she tried to hold several in her hand. After eating one, she handed one to Fu Yunhe next to her.

"Try it."

"Kids, eat the popcorn!"

With her words, these children finally couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed over together, with a dustpan of popcorn, less visible in the blink of an eye.

Elder Hua stretched out his arms and shouted, "Leave one for me! Leave one for me!"

Nian Shutong watched the lively scene with the lingering smell of popcorn in his mouth.

"How about it?"

“Delicious, especially good for killing time.”

Nian Shutong agreed, "It's just a snack to pass the time."

"When we have a bumper harvest of corn and grain, we can build a popcorn processing plant."

"Yes, many people should buy it."

The pot of popcorn was gone soon, Nian Shutong handed over the popcorn to other people, and she left with a bagful of popcorn.

As for the delivery of gifts, it was also handed over to others.

And those who rushed to open countless couriers at home finally got what they wanted.
