Kai offers to teach the farmer the recipe for Popcorn.

If you want to become quick friends with Kai, a great way to gain friendship points is to give him Pineapples, Eggs, or Tomatoes!

Requirements

The farmer harvests Corn from a field.

Equipment Needed

The equipment needed to make Popcorn can be bought from Jeff at the General Store.

The downside is that Jeff sells his kitchen equipment one by one, in 10-day intervals after you buy the first of Gotts’ house remodeling upgrades.

This means that you can only access the next piece of equipment 10 days after the previous one becomes available for purchase.

How To Sell Popcorn

Any dishes made in your kitchen can’t be shipped through Zack and the Shipping Bin. However, you can start selling food to Huang once you become friends with him at 4 friendship notes.

To sell a dish to Huang, stand in front of his counter while holding the item. Don’t interact directly with his sprite, as it will register as a gift instead.

The farmer stands in front of Huang’s counter while holding a bucket of Popcorn.

Huang will then offer you a price, which you can actually reject for a chance at getting him to bid higher.

The price range for Popcorn is anywhere between 80 G and 170 G. If Huang offers you 110 G for the item, for example, you can turn him down and try again to get a higher price.
