Chapter 16 The Fifteenth Brother Jiechen's Big Regret

Among the juniors of Jie Chen, it seems that only Junior Jiechen has relatively normal hobbies, while the other two juniors are very different.The one with the most tricks is Junior Brother Jieao. Every short period of time, he will make some unexpected inventions and creations, some of which are not practical.For example, once he made a bottle of very fragrant shampoo, but we had no hair to wash; another time he made a wooden mallet that can be knocked many times with a push. Although it is very useful, it also lost the knock. The original intention of the wooden fish.Even a person like Jiechen who has gone through years of training in refraining from arrogance and whose concentration has risen to a very high level is often frightened by him.Brother Jie Chi prefers to imitate, but the frightening thing is that the objects he imitates are often not human beings, chickens, ducks, insects and snakes are among his imitation objects.Sometimes Jie Chen has to sigh, if only they were all "normal" like Junior Brother Jie Chen.

Jiechen's junior brother, Jiechen, is a well-behaved little monk who is not easy to be noticed. His hobbies are nothing more than ordinary things such as painting and watching magic.In Jie Chen's impression, Jie Chen seems to have only one hobby, which is a bit special, and that is to watch others make popcorn.Of course, what Jie Chen likes to watch is not the use of modern technology to make popcorn, he likes the very old-fashioned converter popcorn machine. In the past few years, some masters who made popcorn often came to the town. At this time, the townspeople would bring some grains such as corn or rice, and then pay some processing fees to ask the masters to help make them. Popcorn.

Those masters will put the received grain in the iron converter, and then put the converter on the small coal stove to rotate continuously. When the time is long enough and the air pressure in the converter is high enough, they will cover it with long cloth bags. Stay at the furnace mouth, find another iron rod, and kick open the furnace cover.After a loud bang, a bag full of popcorn pops. Jie Chen also found the production process very interesting, especially the loud noise when the popcorn came out of the bag seemed to be the climax of the whole production process, and every time it would definitely drive the onlookers to cheer.

When Jie Chen was obsessed with making popcorn, he was still very young. He never got tired of watching the process. Every time he met a popcorn maker, he would squat next to them. , You have to watch several games before you are willing to leave. Jiechen like this is sometimes misunderstood by people. Several times, the customer who processed the popcorn thought that Jiechen’s long-term attention was actually because he wanted to eat popcorn. It made Jie Chen very embarrassed. Some time ago, Master Zhiyuan asked Jie Chen and Jie Chen to go to Baoguang Temple, but Jie Chen was delayed by some trivial matters before leaving, so he asked Jie Chen to go first.It was almost an hour before Jie Chen was on the road. Not long after going down the mountain, he found a master with an old-fashioned popcorn machine on the side of the road in the town.

Over the past few years, the number of times this old-fashioned popcorn machine has appeared is very small, because as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer masters who are willing to use this old-fashioned popcorn processing method. I bought a new type of processing machine. It is said that the price is not expensive, and the production process is more convenient.According to Junior Brother Jie Ao, the products processed by the new popcorn machine contain less lead and are more beneficial to health. When he saw the machine, Jie Chen's first reaction was to think of Junior Brother Jiechen. Jie Chen knew that Junior Brother Jiechen still missed the old-fashioned popcorn machine. When Jiechen ate popcorn before, he would mutter something from time to time. About old machines.

It's just that when Jie Chen looked towards the side of the road, he didn't see Junior Brother Jie Chen.When Jie Chen asked the popcorn maker, he said that he had just left the stall and was going to cook for a few hours before leaving.Jie Chen reckons that Junior Brother Jie Chen must have gone out too early, so he missed his favorite show. Jie Chen thought about it in his mind, judging from the time he was working on this time, when he came back, the popcorn master should also leave, and Jie Chen probably won't be able to see it.Although this is only a trivial matter, it should be regarded as a great regret for Junior Brother Jie Chen who has always liked it.After all, in recent years, Master Popcorn has only appeared this once, and there may be even fewer chances to see him in the future.

When Jie Chen saw Jie Chen at Baoguang Temple that day, Jie Chen looked very excited, and he said to Jie Chen, "Senior Brother Jie Chen, do you know? It was wonderful, but unfortunately you came too late, so you missed it." On the way back to the temple, the topic Jiechen kept talking about was the magic trick he saw in the afternoon, and when he talked about the wonderful things, there were smiles on his brows and eyes.Jie Chen suddenly thought, if Junior Brother Jie Chen went down the mountain later today, he would definitely stay in front of the Popcorn Master's machine, and he would definitely not have the chance to appreciate the wonderful magic tricks.

Speaking of which, many things in the world may be like this.Most of what we do in life can only be multiple-choice questions. We regret that we miss it time and time again, but few people think that all the good things we have now are actually due to our past misses.Even if we go back in time and catch the regrets we missed, it may mean that we lose the happiness we have today, and maybe that is not a good choice.
