There was popcorn in the Song Dynasty. How was popcorn made at that time?

Usually we watch movies, and many people like to buy popcorn to eat. Adults and children like popcorn very much, and eating popcorn while watching movies will be more in line with this atmosphere. But in fact, popcorn has existed since ancient times, and it has existed since the Song Dynasty. At that time, popcorn was not originally used for eating, but for divination. At that time, popcorn was called Bulou. At that time, people used popcorn to predict the future, and some people used popcorn to predict life events.

In ancient times, there were no such high-tech electrical appliances. Now, people can use pressure cookers, ovens and so on. To make popcorn, but at that time, making popcorn would be complicated. In fact, the ingredients are very similar to those we use now, including corn, ghee and sugar. First, we will prepare a special stove for popcorn, then put all the above materials into the stove, and then burn a fire under the stove. By rotating the stove, the corn in the stove can be heated evenly. After a while, turn on the stove, there will be a loud noise, and these corn will become popcorn.

In the Song Dynasty, people thought that when making popcorn, it sounded like thunder. In fact, through these, we can find that the food culture in Song Dynasty was very prosperous and developed rapidly. Although popcorn looks like our modern food, in fact, at that time, the Song Dynasty was very close to our modern cooking, and there were all kinds of cooking.

Even in the Inca Empire of America, there was already popcorn. So popcorn is a very old snack. At that time, Fan Chengda, a poet in the Song Dynasty, described popcorn, and eating popcorn was also the custom at that time. At that time, people mastered the method of making popcorn, so some people used it for divination, and some people used popcorn as a snack for children at home. In the Song Dynasty, it was also people's beautiful expectation for the future.
