Sang Sang couldn't understand most of the words, but the last line of the poem made her eyes light up: "In the world, only Chanjuan has a sword, and the heroes of the world are sharpened." You can not only cook, but also compose poetry? ”

"Just a little."

Xia Shang said it easily, but it was not so simple in Sang Sang's heart: "A kitchen knife can be paired with such a charming poem, and he said that he would do it a little?" ”

Muttering, Sang Sang glanced left and right, and suddenly saw some irregular spherical objects covered with dirt piled up in the corner of the kitchen.

"What's that?"

"Potatoes."

"Potatoes? It's the weird stuff you got again. ”

"Sister Sangsang, this is not something unusual. Potatoes can provide a lot of heat to the human body, and can be called 'perfect food', which can be used as a staple food and as a side dish. What's more important is that it is easy to plant, and the harvest is excellent, if it is planted on a large scale, there will be no famine in our Datang in the future. ”

"How can it be as amazing as you say?"

"If you don't have any evidence, I'll fry you into potato chips for you to taste."

Xia Shang is now in high spirits and ready to show off his skills, but Sang Sang thought of the peppers grown outside, and said in his heart that there should be nothing wrong with this potato, right?

"Don't worry, there is absolutely no strange smell of this potato."

As he spoke, Xia Shang picked a big potato and weighed it a few times in his hand. Then peel the skin with a kitchen knife in your hand.

There was nothing special about this process, but it made Sang Sang watch intently.

At this time, Xia Shang seemed to be a little different, there was no gorgeous action in the process of peeling, but it seemed very rhythmic between unhurried, especially the focused eyes, as if he could see a man's confident appearance, and his calm face seemed to be a general with a heavy army, and he was so indifferent to anything.

It only took a minute to peel the skin, and Sang Sang was still looking at Xia Shang in a daze. Seeing Sang Sang's expression, Xia Shang smiled and put the shaved potatoes on the cutting board by himself.

The oil is boiled in the pan before the knife is moved, and the subsequent slicing process is even more fluid.

With his familiar kitchenware, Xia Shang seemed more confident, and the gap between each knife was completely consistent, only listening to the rhythmic clicking sound from the cutting board.

"Snort......"

The sound of the warm oil popping woke up the cranky Sangsang. Only then did Sang Sang see Xia Shang put the golden potato slices into the oil pot. The calm oil pot immediately turned over the oil flowers, like countless small fish suddenly appeared under the calm lake.

The potatoes were put into the pot for less than a second, and Xia Shang instantly scooped them all up.

It's so fast, all the potato chips are just soaked in the pan, so you have to worry about whether this is really cooked?

Sangsang leaned closer, looking at the leaky scoop, there was still a lot of oil dripping down, and the potato slices didn't seem to change.

But that's when a change suddenly appeared!

The potato chips that left the oil pan were golden and transparent, but they were a little white under Sangsang's gaze, and the flat surface began to bend, as if they were alive, and soon became arched. What's even more incredible is that each slice of potato presents the same shape, and even the angle of bending is almost the same.

"This, this, this...... What's going on? ”

"Oil temperature." Xia Shang only said two words, and then sent a slice of potatoes to Sang Sang, "Taste it." ”

Sangsang took the potato slices and looked at them carefully. If you don't know the process, there is really nothing special about it just from the point of view of appearance. But after entering the mouth, the crunchy texture and overflowing aroma immediately made Sangsang's eyes widen!

This is a novelty that has never been seen before, and the large amount of starch contained in potatoes stimulates the nerves of the taste buds and makes people can't help but secrete saliva.

A piece into the stomach, the feeling of not being satisfied made Sangsang become full of anticipation, looking forward to the second piece!

Looking at Sang Sang's longing eyes, Xia Shang smiled: "No, give it all to you, I know that one piece is not enough." ”

As in any dynasty, no one can resist the aftertaste of potato chips, especially for young girls.

Even Sang Sang didn't expect such a simple thing to make him salivate so much, and after tasting a slice, his mouth watered just by looking at these golden potato chips.

Second, third, fourth......

Sangsang's movements became faster and faster, and the small potato chips seemed to have magic, controlling Sangsang to eat constantly.

When cooking skills reach the extreme, there are indeed people who can control people's spirits and movements through food, but this is not the case now, because Sangsang's face is full of happiness, which is the greatest affirmation of the chef by the impact of food on the taste buds.

Seeing that Sang Sang was satisfied, Xia Shang also smiled with satisfaction.

Taking advantage of the oil temperature, Xia Shang cut a few more potatoes, and when Sangsang finished eating, the new potato chips were good again.

"Now you believe that potatoes are not an ordinary thing, right?"

Sang Sang didn't speak, just looked at the freshly cooked potato chips and swallowed his saliva.

Xia Shang couldn't cry or laugh: "Okay, you can take these back as snacks." After all, this is not a meal, and it is not good to eat too much at once, and the fried potato chips can be stored for a long time, and when you are hungry at night, you can eat a little, and come to me again when you are gone. ”

"Hmm." Sang sang crispy response, took out a handkerchief and carefully wrapped the potato chips.

"Not angry?" Xia Shang suddenly asked for no reason.

"Huh?" Sang Sang was stunned for a moment, then understood, his pretty face turned red instantly, and fine beads of sweat came out of the tip of his nose.

"I ...... I still have something to do, so I'll ...... Went first. ”

……

For the next two days, the Saijia gradually calmed down, and nothing happened at home except for the abandoned vegetable garden in the backyard where there were some new vegetables every day.

On the third day, the dishes for the feast had been decided, and the eldest lady should try them before that.

This is something that everyone in the Sai family knows, and everyone is curious about the dishes at the banquet. What's even more curious is that the whole tasting process was carried out in absolute secrecy, except for the eldest lady and Xia Shang, no third person in the family knew what the dishes at the banquet were. The only news that everyone knows is that the eldest lady burst into tears after tasting it, and she doesn't know whether she was angry or moved. However, the people of the Sai family have been guessing what happened when the test was eaten for several days.

However, even though the eldest lady was in tears when she tasted it, she did not show dissatisfaction afterwards. Obviously, the eldest lady had agreed to Xia Shang's plan.

Four days later, an invitation was sent, and there was no turmoil during the period, but a flower brocade mentioned in the invitation caused a round for the lottery.

In addition to the merchants in the capital who have cooperated with the Saijia, there are also some officials who have received benefits from the Saijia. There were twenty-two in all, but it is not known how many of them would attend the banquet.

Determining who will attend the banquet is also one of the purposes of the Saijia banquet, and those who are invited to the banquet may continue to maintain cooperation, while those who do not attend the banquet can only cut off contact.

From this, it is possible to understand the situation faced by Saijia.
