The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 96 Popcorn

A young man in the field nearby saw Zheng Qiuyun helping, so he came over with a sickle and said, "Zheng Sinong, please rest while I help uncle chop."

Seeing this, other people came over one after another, "That's right, Zheng Sinong, take a rest. Aren't we still here?"

They came to help, and Zheng Qiuyun was not idle either.With more manpower, this acre of land was cut quickly.Zheng Qiuyun sat on the edge of the field, cut off the leaves from the corn stalks, made them into lengths of sticks, and handed them to the young man who came over first, "Bite them open and have a taste."

The young man blushed and took it, took a bite, and then let out a cry, "My tongue is pinched."

Everyone was very puzzled as to why Zheng Sinong was still playing tricks on others.

Then, the young man's eyes lit up and he took another bite. This time he was careful not to be pinched.The young man said happily: "It's sweet, this rod is sweet!"

The others looked curious, "Liu Wei, you mean, this corn stalk is sweet?"

Liu Wei took another bite and said, "Yes, corn stalks are sweet!"

They were embarrassed to take the corn stalks cut by Zheng Qiuyun, so they took the corn stalks next to them, cut off the leaves, and bit them hard. It was indeed sweet!
Liu Wei asked Zheng Qiuyun, "Zheng Sinong, I heard that rich people spend money to buy sugar cane, which is just a stick and tastes sweet when bitten. Could this be sugar cane?"

Zheng Qiuyun took another corn stalk. This corn stalk was already very old. "This is not sugar cane, but some corn stalks are indeed sweet. Old corn stalks like this are not sweet."

Liu Wei took it with a blushing face, cut off the leaves himself, and bit hard, "It's really not sweet."

He had an idea, "Zheng Sinong, can you teach me how to distinguish sweet corn stalks? I want to try selling them on the street?"

Zheng Qiuyun said: "The old ones are not sweet, and the ones that are too green are not sweet either. The green ones with a little red are sweet. But you may not understand it at the moment. You will know after eating it a few times."

Liu Wei didn't expect Zheng Qiuyun to really teach him like this, without any secrets. He didn't know how to thank Zheng Qiuyun.

Zheng Qiuyun added: "You don't have to think about selling snacks. Corn is grown in both states, and the children eat it at home. Other states don't grow it, but by the time you transport it, the corn stalks will be old. You If you want to do business, I will teach you a way. I will tell you when you come to Qingzhou Sinong Temple in the evening."

"Teach me?" Liu Wei was flattered and couldn't believe his ears.

Others were very envious. Who didn't know that the people following Zheng Qiuyun had either become officials or made a fortune.Someone shouted: "Liu Wei, you are just lucky."

Liu Wei chuckled and kept thanking Zheng Qiuyun.

The sun was setting in the west, and this scene reminded Zheng Qiuyun of the scenes in his childhood home.Zheng Qiuyun opened the corn stalks again and found the small round melons on the ground.

"Zheng Sinong, can this small round melon be eaten?"

Zheng Qiuyun handed it to him, "It's edible, but it's not delicious."

The man took a taste and found that it really didn't taste good.

There is also a plant that looks like a small tent on the ground. If you peel off its coat, you will find the sweet and sour fruits inside, which are very suitable as snacks for children.

This cornfield is like a treasure, and Zheng Qiuyun even found a grasshopper.She smiled and said, "If you want to eat meat, you can catch this grasshopper and fry it. It tastes delicious."

Others didn't dare to eat bugs, but Liu Wei caught dozens of grasshoppers and planned to fry them at night.

Liu Wei has three brothers in his family, and his two brothers are all married. When the sisters-in-law heard that Liu Wei asked his mother to fry the bugs to eat, they were afraid and distressed, but they couldn't say it in front of Liu Wei.

Liu Wei's mother was also distressed when she was pouring the oil. She only put in a little bit and then scolded Liu Wei, "You have to catch insects to eat. If you can't eat it, it's not a waste of oil! You really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. In my previous life, I was I owe you this little thing!”

Liu Wei didn't get angry when he was scolded, he just kept the fire safe and didn't burn the grasshoppers.Because his mother only poured a little bit of oil, the fried grasshoppers turned into roasted grasshoppers.When the grasshoppers were ripe, Liu Wei hurriedly took them out and gave them to his mother to taste first, "Mom, this is what Zheng Sinong taught me. I'm sure you can eat it. You can try one."

His mother heard that it was Zheng Sinong who taught her, but she didn’t say anything more. She reached out and pinched one and put it in her mouth.

"Mother, how is it?"

After Liu Wei asked, his mother didn't answer and stretched out her hand to squeeze again.

Liu Wei also tasted one and felt it was extremely crispy and had a sense of happiness that he could eat meat.

After hearing his sister-in-law's complaint, his eldest brother went to the stove to look for Liu Wei, and saw his mother and brother eating deliciously.

Liu Wei greeted him: "Brother, come and try it, it's delicious!"

When his elder brother tasted it, he licked his tongue with unsatisfied interest. He hadn't eaten meat in many years.This fried grasshopper is crispy and meaty.

Sister-in-law Liu Wei came over to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, after taking a bite, she couldn't even utter a word of blame.The second family who came last felt that they had suffered a big loss and had to go out in the dark to catch them again. They had eaten less.

Liu Wei said: "If you want to eat it, you can catch it again. I have to go to Sinong Temple to find Zheng Sinong. She said she would teach me how to make money."

His second sister-in-law immediately asked: "You went to see Zheng Sinong in the middle of the night, and she taught you how to make money?"

Liu Wei blushed at what she said, "Second sister-in-law, Zheng Sinong is not who you think."

His second sister-in-law said: "Of course I know that Zheng Sinong is not that kind of person, but you must not lose your etiquette. No matter what, you have to take a shower, put on new clothes and new shoes before going."

In the evening, Liu Wei listened to her second sister-in-law's advice, took a bath, put on new clothes and shoes, and wandered outside Sinong Temple in Qingzhou.I was thinking, if Zheng Sinong did something to him, would he accept it happily, or would he refuse and welcome it?

As for refusing directly, Liu Wei never thought about why Zheng Sinong would refuse because he was good-looking and smart.

He was brewing outside for a long time and saw Kongde entering Sinong Temple with a smile on his face.Liu Wei was confused and didn't care. He also walked inside with a smile on his face.

As soon as he approached, he heard a bang inside, like thunder, which frightened Liu Wei.

Zheng Qiuyun waved to him, "This is the popcorn I just popped. Come and try it."

Liu Wei took a closer look and saw that besides Zheng Sinong and Kong De, there were two girls inside.In this scene, he didn't even think about what Zheng Sinong was going to do to him.

Liu Wei despised himself in his heart. He could forget about being dirty, how could he underestimate Zheng Sinong.

He walked over quickly, and Zheng Qiuyun introduced him, "This is Zhao Huizhen, and this is Zhao Linlang. You must also know this one. It's Qingzhou Sinong Assistant, Kong De."

Zheng Qiuyun said to the other three people, "This is Liu Wei from Qingzhou."

They greeted each other in turn, and Zheng Qiuyun asked Liu Wei to taste the popcorn.As soon as Liu Wei tasted it, he felt that the popcorn was soft, crispy, fragrant and sweet, suitable for all ages.

Zheng Qiuyun was busy making another pot, "I see that you are kind-hearted and smart, and I want you to practice with popcorn. Are you willing to take over the popcorn business?"
