Making mooncakes wasn't something to rush, so in the afternoon, with nothing much to do, Lin Yuan brought out the corn kernels she had acquired during the division of the family assets. She carefully selected a small basinful of plump kernels, washed them clean with water, dried them in the sun, and set out to make a little snack for the two little gluttons in her family.
She poured oil into the large pot, then added the corn kernels, covered the pot with a lid, and just let it sit on high heat.
When her older sister mentioned there were tasty treats, Xiao Linshuang's face lit up with anticipation, but just as she opened her mouth to speak, she heard a "pop pop" of sizzling from the pot that scared her so much she plopped down on the ground, and Lin Wei was frightened enough to flee the kitchen.
Is this going to blow the pot up into the sky?
