142 Popcorn (1/2)

” Master!” Bao Su rushed into the kitchen with a gloomy face. Xia Lian didn't even bother with this fool. She knew that he would be excited like a clown for trivial matters. She gathered the firewood and squatted on the floor to start the fire.

” Brother Wu, leave the fire to me.” He Chun squatted beside her, no matter what he couldn't let a kid do all the heavy work. That's what the adults are for. Considering himself the only adult in that tiny group, he volunteered himself. She would be a fool if she did not accept such kindness; she happily got up with a huge grin on her face.

Bao Su was unable to watch this anymore.Not caring for any etiquette, he dragged Xia Lian by her hand making her extremely surprised. Bao Su never acted out of his line and she was wondering what made him drag her away like that.

* cough* she could only clear her throat to get his attention; which she successfully did. Bao Su released her hands and scratched his head awkwardly. He then told her about Xuan Li Wei's reply.

” You dragged me away like that only to tell me that the stupid prince is coming?”

Stupid prince? It seems that the prince really had a peculiar position in her heart ah! Bao Su smiled wryly ” I got carried away master. Hehe.”

” Eh? Seeing your excitement, I thought that you are meeting your love ah! Who knew that it was that flirty prince. So, he is coming! I am waiting for him to show his face. Now, let's go back!” Indicating that she understood, she made her way towards the kitchen; this time with her dragging the poor shadow guard along with her.

He Chun took out the cooking utensils and started to preheat them. On seeing that the kid returned, he naturally spoke ” Brother Wu, everything is ready. We can start.”

” Bao Su, stay here and don't interrupt me in the middle.” Only after making sure that this stupid fellow understood what she said, did she grab the pail of oil.

” Brother He, you can just stay by the side and watch me cook.” She is not going to make something which is difficult. It is the one of the most easiest recipes in the world and she definitely did not require someone to assist her. He Chun very obediently stood by her side.

The cooking utensil was large and Xia Lian was satisfied because only with such utensil will she be able to cook for all these people. She poured a generous amount of oil into the utensil and waited for a few minutes for it to get heated. Then, under all the curious gazes she picked up many handfuls of corn kernels and dropped them in gently and started to fry them. In the beginning all were skeptical of what Xia Lian was doing; then something unbelievable occurred in front of their eyes.

Pop! A corn kernel burst opened and a white thing appeared.

Pop! Pop! Before they could make head or tails of what is happening, a series of popping sounds followed.

” Brother He, bring me a plate large enough to cover this vessel.” He Chun immediately fished out a large plate and covered the vessel by himself.
