When I was in primary school, someone pushed a trolley to sell sugar or sugar, or now they push a bigger car to make popcorn. At this time, several children by the river will urge adults to take rice and sugar to cook. Some people eat glutinous rice, while others eat rice. Glutinous rice is better, but most people in the village can grow rice and sell it to supplement their families. But glutinous rice will only be planted in a few corners of the land and will not be sold. We will save it for the Dragon Boat Festival to wrap zongzi, or grind it into glutinous rice flour and knead it into zongzi for the New Year. My brother and I asked my mother to bring a few Jin of rice and some sugar. At that time, sugar was not cheap, and sometimes we would bring some saccharin. It is sweet to put a little. Sometimes we put this when we make bread at home.

Popcorn grandpa actually has two tools, one is to make popcorn and the other is to make puffed fruit. First, put the rice in a pot with a big belly and a small side, put some saccharin and white sugar, and start heating slowly. At the end of success, grandpa will take out a special cowhide bag and tell us that these children should cover their ears, and then put the outlet of the pot on the cowhide bag. Bang, the popcorn exploded. Let's grab something to eat. At this time, grandpa will put more rice in the pot to keep it heating, then take out a pot, heat the white sugar until it melts, put the fried popcorn in and mix well, cool it for a while, and cut it into pieces to become fried rice sugar. This kind is more popular because of the added sugar. Eat slowly when you go back. Stir-fry rice slowly, and stir-fry rice sugar will be ready. I started making puffed fruit. This is to mix rice and saccharin evenly and put them into the machine. Long food will slowly come out from the side. Master skillfully breaks the puffed fruit piece by piece, puts it in a basin prepared in advance, then puts it in a plastic bag and seals it, so you can take it back happily.

In the summer morning, sometimes it is convenient and delicious to boil some hot water, stir-fry rice in a clean bowl, add some sugar and eat pickles in boiling water. Puffed fruit is to come back from school at noon, chew two pieces before lunch is ready, or chew slowly as a snack while watching TV after dinner at night. At that time, I will compare with my brother whose puffed fruit is longer, and I will be happy if it is longer.

Now, sometimes you can see people selling puffed fruit in roadside kiosks, and occasionally you can see grandparents making popcorn with a round popcorn machine on the roadside. There are not only rice, but also corn and rice cakes, but we can't eat the simple happiness as a child.
