Chapter 180 Teaching Ke Jiangshi to Make Popcorn
180
Think about those stars in the 21st century, as long as they are famous, there will be a lot of people looking up to them, so it can only be said that the actors of this dynasty were not born at the right time.

Ke Hanxue's words made Ke Jiangshi's brows more and more tight, and finally looked at Ge's mother and son worriedly, sighed deeply, and planned to go back and ask Ke Zhongshi to give Ke Hanxue a good lecture.
After hearing Ke Hanxue's emotion, Ge Shi couldn't calm down for a long time. It was the first time she heard someone have such a high evaluation of the actor!
After hearing Ke Hanxue's words, Ge Yunzhang couldn't help but paused, looking deeply at Ke Hanxue's back in a daze.
After walking a long way, Ke Hanxue realized that Ge Yunzhang hadn't followed, and hurriedly walked up to him with a stool, and asked, "Is Hong'er too heavy? Or let me carry it."

Ge Yunzhang stared at Ke Hanxue's small face for a long while before saying seriously, "Ke Hanxue, thank you!"

Forehead?
"Why thank me?" Ke Hanxue's watery eyes were full of confusion.
It was the first time that Ge Yunzhang thanked himself so seriously, and called his name solemnly, Ke Hanxue suddenly felt weird.

Ge Yunzhang looked at her for a while, hesitant to speak, and then said: "Let's go."

Ke Hanxue touched her nose and followed, and told her intuitively that Ge Yunzhang must have something else to say just now.

As soon as they walked out of Tuqiao Village, Ke Meizhi shouted joyfully from behind: "Master Ge? Mother, the one in front seems to be Mr. Ge."

Hearing Ke Meizhi's voice, several of them had a tacit understanding without looking back, and at the same time quickened their pace.
"Ge Gongzi, wait a moment, Ge Gongzi!"

Ke Meizhi's mother and daughter rushed up panting with the oil lamp.
"Oh, so it's Niang Meizhi!" Ge Shi and Ke Jiang Shi asked with a coping smile.
"Ge Gongzi, so you also like to watch operas?" Ke Meizhi once again fixed his eyes on Ge Yunzhang.
Ge Yunzhang didn't answer, and his eyes fell on Ke Hanxue's contemptuous little face.

Seeing that Ge Yunzhang ignored her, Ke Meizhi lifted the oil lamp and looked at the little man lying behind Ge Yunzhang.

"Oh, Ke Hanxue, your younger brother, you can't recite it yourself, why do you ask Mr. Ge to recite it?" Ke Meizhi suddenly exclaimed.
Feeling the person on his back twist, Ge Yunzhang's face sank, and he scolded in a low voice with displeasure: "You scared Hong'er!"

"Oh, yes... I'm sorry." Ke Meizhi was taken aback by Ge Yunzhang's sudden change of face.
Seeing that her daughter was self-defeating, Mei Zhi Niang hurriedly helped her daughter out of the siege, and smiled at Ge Shi: "Aunt Ge, why didn't you wait for us when you and Mr. Ge came to see the play? Will you come tomorrow? If I come, I will go to your house to find you?"

"Let's see when the time comes." Geshi replied not too warmly.

Along the way, Ke Meizhi's mother and daughter chattered non-stop, Ge Shi and Ke Jiang Shi occasionally said something perfunctory, and Ke Hanxue ignored them all the way.
Although Ge Yunzhang didn't speak, he kept walking beside Ke Hanxue, which made Ke Meizhi's teeth itch.

Ge Shi first sent Ke Hanxue and his brother home, then returned Ke Jiang's mother and daughter to Ke Weijie, and then went to his home.
Ke Meizhi's mother and daughter wanted them to give them to them, but they had oil lamps with them, so they didn't dare to speak.
Back home, Ke Hanxue lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and when she closed her eyes, there was a dense crowd under the stage tonight.

Unable to fall asleep, Ke Hanxue simply opened his eyes and stared at the top of the bed in thought.

According to previous memories, this place is a bit different from modern times. Children will not have lucky money to collect until the first day of the Lunar New Year, so in the past, on the second day after the performance of the big drama, someone would sell fried peanuts beside the stage for supply. Children are used as snacks, and no one has ever sold other things.

Ke Hanxue doesn't know if there are melon seeds in this dynasty, but there are so many people watching the show, if you get some other things to sell, as long as the price is not too expensive, you should be able to sell them, right?

Ke Hanxue didn't come up with an idea until she thought about it in the middle of the night.

The next day, just before dawn, Ke Hanxue got up, took some white sugar at home and ran to Ke Jiangshi's house. The idea she thought of last night was for Ke Jiangshi, she wanted to let Ke Jiangshi Make some money.
Ke Jiangshi got up from the bed when she heard the knock on the door, opened the door and saw Ke Hanxue and asked in surprise: "Xue'er, why is it so early?"

"Third Aunt, do you want to make some money?" Ke Hanxue put the bag of white sugar in front of Ke Jiangshi's eyes with bright eyes.

"Let's talk when you come in, it's windy outside!" Ke Jiangshi said, pulling Ke Hanxue into the house, and after closing the door, he asked, "Xue'er, what do you think you're earning?"

"Third Aunt, I want you to get some snacks to sell in Tuqiao Village, how about it?"

"Do you want me to sell peanuts?" When it comes to making money, Ke Jiangshi is a little moved, because the family has not received money for two months.
In Ke Jiangshi's mind, going to Tuqiao Village to sell snacks is not the same as going out to do business, which is acceptable, but every time there are a lot of people selling peanuts in a big show, can she make money selling them?

"Third Aunt, we don't sell peanuts, we sell popcorn." Ke Hanxue said with a smile
"What popcorn? I've never heard of it."

"Third Aunt, the village chief has a lot of chickens. They must have corn kernels. You can go to their house to buy some first, and I will teach you how to pop corn later."

People who raise chickens in the village will have crushed corn kernels in their homes. Ke Hanxue's family didn't buy them because they had bran, so they had to ask Ke Jiang to go to the village head to buy them.
In fact, Ke Hanxue's original idea was coal rice flowers. When he thought that the cost of rice was too high, he changed his mind and replaced it with corn kernels that people use to raise chickens.

"Can people eat that stuff?" Ke Jiangshi asked uncertainly. Corn kernels are something that is fed to chickens. How can they be eaten by people?
"Third Aunt, don't worry if you can eat it."

"Alright then, I'll go to the village chief's house now."

"Third Aunt, it's quite cold outside, please wear more clothes." Ke Hanxue said again when Ke Jiangshi turned around.

Hearing this, Ke Jiang hurriedly went back to the house and put on some clothes before going out.

After a while, Ke Jiangshi bought the corn kernels back.
Ke Hanxue first heated the pot, put a little oil, then added corn kernels and covered the pot with a high fire. After a while, there was a crackling sound, and Ke Jiangshi was startled.
"Third Aunt, as soon as you hear the sound inside, the fire should be turned to a low fire, and then you have to pick up the pot and shake the rice crackers inside evenly." Ke Hanxue took out two burning firewood from the stove and put them on the stove. If it is put into the firewood ash under the stove, it is necessary to wrap the edge of the pot with a rag on the stove.
"Xue'er, let me come." Ke Jiangshi picked up the pot and shook it above the stove as Ke Hanxue said.

"Third Aunt, fortunately your pot is not as big as mine, otherwise you can't make it." Ke Hanxue said with a smile, the pot here is that kind of old pot, very thick and big, Ke Hanxue even served it Can afford it, and can't shake it.
