In which ancient book does the practice of popcorn appear? Do you know the history of popcorn from ancient times to now?

Speaking of popcorn, Bian Xiao thinks it is really a familiar snack. Usually you must order a snack when you go to the cinema, but now the popcorn is really lifeless, and it is made with more modern processing tools. It really lost its original soul, which is the most taboo development in the inheritance of food. As big fans of popcorn, we should really study the true meaning of popcorn. To understand popcorn, you must first come to the north, in the North Central Plains.

Want to know why popcorn comes to the north? Although there is the word "rice" in "popcorn", the raw material of popcorn is not rice in the south, but corn in the north. As we all know, the north is rich in corn, and there are all kinds of foods made of corn here. Popcorn is one of them. Before 1980s, local people lived on agriculture, mainly corn crops. Some families have mills, while others don't, so the local working people have a good understanding of corn. Once, a family was cooking in a griddle, and found that some corn kernels exploded, tasted them and compared them with others. It's delicious, and the smell of corn has completely penetrated into it.

At that time, the invention of popcorn was a delicious food for all ages. In the later development, a pot was gradually invented. This pot is very special. In the countryside, it is a pot. This pot consists of a screw nose, a big bend, a small bend, a cover and a hand. This kind of pot called "pot" is not prepared by every household. Basically, several production teams will have one, and now there are many post-80 s.

Open the lid, pour the corn into the pot, put the sugar stored at home, tighten the pressure bar and put it on the stove. The fuel used is basically coal, and any step is very grounded. The barometer next to the hand crank is the indication. When the pressure reaches a certain value, the master will take off the pot neatly and marry the iron drum. A piece of steel is connected to the pressure bar, with one foot on the pot skin and one hand on it.

Traditional popcorn gives us a feeling that it is not only delicious, but also an irretrievable childhood. Every time the corn is dried in the sun, the master who explodes the popcorn will come to the village, which is the most economical snack at that time. When the three shots at the head of the village rang, people in the village would gather around the boiler one by one with corn, talking and laughing, listening to the gunfire, which was particularly festive and added a lot of charm to the post-80 s childhood.

Nowadays, popcorn is all about being quick and tastes much better, but that feeling is gone. Now the corn used to make popcorn is much more exquisite without corn husk, which may be the taste of an era. At that time, the taste was not as sweet as it is now, but the popcorn at that time was full of fun. The history of a rural snack has narrowed the distance between people, and whoever processes it will share it without hesitation, and the feelings between villages.

People in the northern countryside are like this, just like the unforgettable food of this era. Although simple, there are feelings everywhere. Villagers never bargain with their masters. Master can mix a bowl of rice in the village and have a drink at noon. When the owner comes to the village, the children in the village have a feeling of leaving the owner, thinking that the owner with popcorn will not worry about not eating this snack. In the north, many people have forgotten their childhood.
