Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 466: The Transformation of Dried Corn Kernels

"I'm back! I'm back!"

A large bird with jet-black feathers flapped its wings and flew over from a large tree in the distance, calling as it flew.

"Hey! It's Wuhei." Li Junyong heard the bird's cry and looked over in the direction of the sound. When he saw clearly what it was, he shouted excitedly.

"It's me, it's me!"

Wuhei replied with his beak open.

"Wow, Qinghan, your bird has become so talkative after not being seen for a while."

Li Junyong joked, looking at the big bird flying towards Gu Qinghan with envy on his face.

Gu Qinghan was also a little surprised at Wuhei's changes.

The trace of a big bird soon fell on his shoulder. Wuhei stood on Gu Qinghan's shoulder very consciously and pecked at its feathers.

"Don't stand here, you're blocking my work." Gu Qinghan pushed away the big bird that landed on his shoulder, with a helpless look on his face.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Qinghan finished speaking, Wuhei seemed to be very tactful. It spread its wings and flew up, and landed on Li Junyong's head amid Li Junyong's exclamation.

"No...no, Wuhei, are you treating me differently?" Li Junyong was dumbfounded and raised his hand to drive away Wuhei on his head.

"I am your uncle." Wuhei said shockingly again, raised his claws and grabbed a handful of Li Junyong's hair, then flew up and landed on a tree trunk not far away.

"Wow, what a beautiful language." Li Junyong couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing it, and straightened his hair that was messed up by the black claws.

"How come your father is so good at training birds? This bird is almost a spirit, it can even curse people."

Gu Qinghan curled his lips, "Maybe it's Wuhei's special talent."

"Yes, I am the best. Guys, envy me."

"Youngsters?" Li Junyong looked incredulous. "Are you talking about us?"

"Wuhei, you are really good at talking."

Gu Qinghan paused in mowing the grass, raised his head, and looked at the black color on the tree trunk with serious eyes.

The speed of the question and answer didn't seem like it was trained, but rather...

Gu Qinghan quickly picked up a small stone and threw it at Wuhei.

As expected, Wu Hei sensed the danger and quickly flapped his wings and flew up, cursing: "Which bastard dares to attack me?"

"Is it you, little brat?" The black wings flapped towards Li Junyong's back and asked loudly.

"Ah."

Gu Qinghan quickly withdrew his hand and curled the corners of his lips.

This is not a natural talent, I'm afraid it's a spirit.

On the other side, Li Junyong raised his hand and waved away the bird that was flying towards him, "Hey, bird, how could you frame someone? Who was so idle as to attack you? Who are you calling a brat, you stinky bird?"

Gu Qinghan, who was bored, couldn't help laughing when he saw the man and the bird playing with each other.

"It's you? Is it you?" Li Junyong paused and asked when he heard the laughter.

"How is that possible? Stop playing and get to work."

"Wuhei, go play over there."

Even though Wu Hei was full of frivolous words, he was still very obedient to his lifesaver. He immediately withdrew his beak that was about to peck at Li Junyong's back and said, "I'll spare you."

Then it flew away again, this time not landing on any branches, but flying deeper into the forest.

"Oh my god, is this acceptable?" Li Junyong straightened his messy clothes and patted his chest.

"It's really outrageous."

Gu Qinghan chuckled.

……

Shen Shi.

In a small courtyard on the side of the mountain, wisps of green smoke were coming out of the chimneys of the houses.

There were crackling sounds coming from the kitchen, and after a while, it returned to silence.

Xu Zhi, who was standing in front of the stove, asked with a worried look on his face, fearing that the iron pot would break.

Guozi and many others also stood aside and watched curiously.

"Sister, aren't you frying corn kernels? Why are there such crackling sounds?" Xuanyu stood on his own small stool, stretching his neck and staring with his big eyes without blinking.

"Of course it's something delicious. Xiaozhi, open the lid and take a look." Xu Yuan curled the corners of his lips slightly and put all the remaining firewood in the stove into another stove.

So, with the expectation of making a wish, with the fruit and many expectations, Xu Zhi carefully lifted the cover of the pot with a face full of half-belief and half-doubt.

I saw some strange-shaped white objects inside, which were no longer the dry corn kernels that had been poured in not long ago.

"Sister, where are the corn kernels? Why did they become like this? Could it be... that the corn has exploded?"

Based on the sound he just heard, Xu Zhi had a flash of inspiration and made a bold guess.

Xuyuan snapped his fingers with a smile on his face, "Our Xiaozhi is really smart, it's just that the corn kernels popped, so this time I call it popcorn."

The fruits and many others on the side exclaimed in amazement.

"It can turn out like this." Xu Zhi was also surprised.

"Second sister, I want to try it." Xuanyi immediately got down from his personal little stool, ran to the cupboard and took out a wooden bowl, saying eagerly.

"I want to try it too." Guozi also brought a bowl.

Xu Zhi brought a wooden spoon and scooped a spoonful into their bowls.

Many people came to Xuyuan with their hands full of popcorn, "Big sister, you eat first."

"No, you try it first."

Many people had to pick up one carefully. It was still a little hot as it had just come out of the pot. Many people blew on it and then put it in their mouths.

"How about it?"

"Sister, why is there no taste?" Xuanyu chewed the food in his mouth and frowned.

"I didn't add anything, how can it have any taste?"

I put down the fruit and Xu Zhi that I was about to put into my mouth to taste. Since it has no taste, I won't taste it for now.

"Then scoop out everything in the pot. I'll melt the honey and mix it in."

"Okay." Xu Zhi replied.

After a while, the fire was extinguished and then lit again in the stove. The honey in the pot gradually melted under the baking fire. Xu Yuan poured all the popcorn he had scooped up into the pot, mixed the popcorn with the melted honey, and a sweet smell filled the air.

Lai Fu, who was lying in the doghouse outside the yard, started barking when he smelled the scent. If he hadn't had a rope tied around his neck, he would have jumped into the kitchen and wagged his tail to beg for food.

It was taken out of the pot again, and this time the popcorn tasted even better. In order not to affect its crispness, Xu Yuan waited until it cooled a little on the plate, then poured it into a bamboo tube and sealed it with a stopper.

"Sister, this time it tastes delicious, sweet and crispy." Xu Zhi exclaimed, threw another piece of popcorn into her mouth, bit it with a crunch, and smiled happily.

Xu Yuan curved his eyebrows, grabbed a handful of food in his hands, ate while walking, and walked out of the yard.

This is a good snack in your spare time.

He came to Lai Fu, who was barking loudly, and threw several grains of popcorn into his bowl.

Lai Fu stopped barking, but wagged his tail happily. He bit into a piece of popcorn, and the crunching sound could be heard in the yard from time to time.
