"I'll make it for you, the little greedy cat, now." Mu Xiu was also an action-oriented person, doing it as soon as he said that, and then turned around and went to the kitchen to get tools.

"Just spoil her." Mu Xiaocao muttered.

Mu Xiu took a basin, some corn and the soybeans he picked up by Li Pan. She was going to fry five-spice soybeans and make a popcorn.

Mu Xiu first washed the soybeans, then put them in the pot, pour in water, and when the water in the pot boils, put salt and five-spice powder on the pot, cook until the soybeans become bigger and the soybeans are fluffy, then take them out. After drying the water, add a little salt and five-spice powder to marinate for 30 minutes, then put them in the pot and stir-fry slowly over low heat until the beans slowly shrink, making a "splash" sound, and it's slightly yellow. After serving them out and let them cool, they taste crispy.

Then make popcorn, just a handful of corn kernels, heat the pot, add oil, and after heating, throw the corn kernels in, quickly cover the lid, increase the heat, and only "crackling" sounds sounded in the pot, and the corn kernels exploded in the pot were almost opened, and slowly, the sound in the pot became smaller and smaller.

Mu Xiu lifted the lid of the pot, put the popcorn out, put it into the basin, put the white sugar in it, put the two basins together, shake it up and down for more than ten times, so that the sugar can be fully integrated into the popcorn, and the sweet popcorn is ready.

After both were done, Mu Xiu took out the soybeans and popcorn together, and everyone came over.

"What is this? It smells so good." Li Pandi picked up a popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth. The sweet and crispy taste melted in his mouth.

"Second Auntie, it's so delicious." Li Pandi's eyes suddenly shined and he grabbed another hand with his hands.

"Show, you're doing well with popcorn." Mu Xiaocao has eaten popcorn. In two years, someone will go from street to village to village, dragging a large iron jar to make snacks such as popcorn and rice.

"Sister, you're good at giving this name, so it's popcorn." Mu Xiu continued to follow Mu Xiaocao's words, and Mu Xiaocao didn't agree. Anyway, this thing is called this.

"Xiu, then what are you doing?" Zhou Shuilian asked curiously.

"It's made of corn kernels." Mu Xiu replied.

"It's still amazing to see the grass. After eating it for a while, I couldn't taste the corn flavor." Mushui stuffed a few more pieces into my mouth and savored it carefully.

After the popcorn exploded, it became a yellow-white spherical shape. If you don’t say it, it would be hard to see that this size is several times larger than corn and is completely different from corn kernels. It is actually made of corn kernels.

"I really didn't expect that corn kernels can make such delicious food." Chen Xuhui sighed: "Mu Xiu, you are so clever and can do anything."

"Brother Chen, so you still have to read more books, there are everything in the book." Mu Xiu said with a smile.

"I... I can read and study well."

"Xiu, Is it too late to recognize words at my age?" Mu Xiaocao was also moved.

"Sister, as long as you are willing to learn, it will never be too late. Even our mother and our father can learn to recognize words together." Mu Xiu had persuaded Mu Xiaocao to learn to recognize words together, but Mu Xiaocao refused. Now she actually took the initiative to mention it, so Mu Xiu naturally rushed while the iron was hot.

"Oh, Xiaocao, it's because my parents are sorry for you. I can't let you go to school. You are still young. Let's learn to recognize words with Xiu. Look at Xiu's words and you understand everything! Your father and I are both half-body and we are not good at brains. It's too difficult to recognize words. We won't join in the fun." Zhou Shuilian sighed.

"Grandma, it's not difficult to recognize words at all. I'll teach you!" Li Pandiya put down the fragrant popcorn she ate in her hand and said in a childish manner.

"Okay, Brother Pan, from now on, I will teach your mother and grandma to recognize whatever you learn every day, okay?" Mu Xiu smiled at Brother Pan.

"Okay! Second Aunt, I will supervise them and not let them be lazy!" Li Pandi looked serious, and everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.

"I have fried soybeans, but this is the first time I have eaten it. It's so delicious." Zhou Shuilian grabbed a handful of soybeans and stuffed them into her mouth. It was salty, fragrant, crispy, and it tasted different from the one she stir-fried.

After hearing Zhou Shuilian's words, everyone also tasted fried soybeans. The taste was indeed more fragrant and better. Mu Xiu smiled. Not to mention that the soybeans are not easy to buy now, and there are not many opportunities to eat them. Some soybeans in other families are fried with salt. Who has so many seasonings?

"Next time to go to the market and show, you can make more, I will sell it to you, and everyone will definitely like to eat it." Mu Xiaocao made money by selling things at the market last time. She calculated that the income was not bad, which ignited her great enthusiasm.

"Okay, there is so much corn at home that you can make a lot of popcorn and sweet potatoes. Wash it in the next two days, and I'll make some dried sweet potatoes." Mu Xiu said with a smile.

"Don't you go, who is not a lot of dried sweet potatoes? It's strange to be able to sell them." Zhou Shuilian hurriedly stopped them.

"No, I eat enough sweet potatoes all day long. I don't like eating this thing." Mu Xiaocao hurriedly agreed. She had eaten too many sweet potatoes since she was a child, such as sweet potato porridge, dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato noodles steamed buns, boiled sweet potatoes, stir-fried sweet potatoes, and sweet potato cakes... Later, when her living conditions improved, she refused to touch the sweet potatoes again, thinking that this was the most unpalatable thing.

"That's what you have never eaten the dried sweet potatoes I made. You can try them when I make them." Mu Xiu said confidently.

Mu Xiu has also eaten dried sweet potatoes. Now every household in Yingwu Village makes dried sweet potatoes only. When you eat a few bites, your cheeks will be sore. Even if you put them in water to steam and cook, the taste is unsatisfactory and not as soft and sweet as fresh sweet potatoes. In later generations, the dried sweet potatoes are also highly steamed and dried. That kind of taste is soft, glutinous and sweet. However, Mu Xiu has a better idea in his heart...

"I have collected so many sweet potatoes, but it is not easy to sell them. I feel so bloated after eating too much. I am so worried. If you want to make a fuss, go and make a fuss." Zhou Shuilian couldn't help but sigh when she thought of the sweet potatoes piled up at home.

"This time we have collected so many crops, and I don't know how much tax we have to pay for," Mushui said.

"Dad, we only pay the one acre of three cents of land for the rest of the tax, and the rest are our own." Mu Xiu paused for a moment and continued: "In the first three years of land opening, there is no need to pay public grain or tax. We just need to pay the land use fee."

"Really, that's great." Zhou Shuilian looked excited.

"Otherwise, who will go to open up land? You have to pay public grain, tax, and land use fees..." Mu Xiu said with a smile.
