Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Everyone watched as Shu Yu flipped the corn kernels over and over again.
Just this?
Could it be that the delicious snacks she was talking about were corn kernels wrapped in oil and sugar and fried? It didn’t look quite appetizing.
Lanhua who was at the door couldn’t see the situation at the stove, but when she saw the disappointment and disdain on Madam Li and Madam Liangs faces, she felt uncertain.
Suddenly, there was a cracking sound in the pot. Something jumped out, and it jumped very high.
The sound came again and again, giving the people in the kitchen a big shock.
At this moment, Shu Yu quickly put the pot lid on.
After she did so, the crackling sounds inside became even more obvious. Madam Ruan was a little worried, “Erya, it seems like it’s going to explode. Is it alright?”
“Don’t blow up the pot,” Madam Li said.
Madam Liang quietly retreated to the kitchen door and held Baoya in her arms, ready to run away at any time.
Shu Yu told Dahu to stop the fire and remove the firewood under the stove. The crackling sound inside had almost stopped, and only then did she open the lid.
When everyone saw what was inside, their eyes widened in shock.
This… The corn kernels had clearly only covered the bottom of the pot, but they had now filled up half of the big pot.
And this smell… It smelled so good.
Shu Yu took a popcorn, asked Dahu to come over, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Dahu pursed his lips and clenched his little hands in excitement, “It’s delicious. It’s so delicious.”
“This is called popcorn. It’s from the corn kernel. You’ve never had it before,
Dahu nodded his head vigorously, “The popcorn from the corn kernels is even more delicious than sweets.”
Shu Yu laughed, ‘Go and bring that fruit plate over. We’ll bring it out for everyone to eat.”
Dahu hurriedly turned around to get the fruit plate. Shu Yu filled the plate, but there was still a lot left.
She put the remaining on another plate and handed it to the old lady,
“Grandma, this is for you.”
The old lady waved her hand, “I don’t need it. I don’t eat this. You kids can eat it.
On the side, Madam Li and Madam Liang, who had just returned into the kitchen, swallowed their saliva and eagerly looked at the plate of popcorn.
Shu Yu immediately stuffed one into the old lady’s and Madam Ruan’s mouths,
“Isn’t there a lot? You guys should try my cooking.”
As soon as the popcorn entered her mouth, the old lady couldn’t help but squint her eyes in happiness. It was crunchy and really delicious.
She didn’t expect the corn to be so delicious after being stir-fried with oil and sugar.
Shu Yu left a plate for the kitchen and then went out with the fruit plate.
As soon as she left, Madam Li and Madam Liang couldn’t wait to take a popcorn each. The old lady snorted coldly, ‘I Didn’t you say that Erya doesn’t know how to cook? Look at her cooking, which one of you can compare to her?” Madam Li was embarra.s.sed, but she did not hesitate to eat the popcorn. As soon as Shu Yu left the kitchen, Baoya pounced on her with drool dripping from her mouth, “I want to eat, I want to eat.”
“There’s no hurry. Let’s go to the central room first.”
Baoya was, after all, only three years old. Shu Yu did not dare to let her eat alone. It was better to watch her when they entered the central room later. Lu Sanzhu appeared out of nowhere again, “Erya, let me help you carry that.”
He was about to s.n.a.t.c.h the popcorn after he finished speaking, but Shu Yu smacked his hand.
“Try s.n.a.t.c.hing it.”
Lu Sanzhu laughed dryly and retracted his hand, not daring to move.
Lanhua, who was following behind, widened her eyes in shock. Their third uncle was actually afraid of Erya? Her third uncle had always been shameless and even unafraid of their grandmother. Now, with one move from Erya, he was so scared that he didn’t dare to move.
Shu Yu first went to Lu Erbai’s room with the popcorn and left some for him and the eldest uncle. Then, she returned to the central room..
