Chapter 225: French Fries
The weather is cool, so wear something thicker next time you come out. ”
A few months ago, under the leadership of Xu Tiantian, the people of Dongcheng planted a lot of potatoes, and every household was not hungry, but only survived the previous famine.
"So absent-minded, but what's the matter?"
Xu Tiantian and Xuan Ye played against each other in the room, there are always a lot of rules in chess, Xu Tiantian doesn't understand, and she doesn't want to bother with her brains, so she only plays the simplest backgammon with Xuan Ye.
On the black and white chessboard, Xuan Ye's chess is chaotic, even if the game of backgammon was taught to him by Xu Tiantian, but every time it ended in Xuan Ye's victory, but today is unusual.
Xu Tiantian's white chess piece landed firmly in front of the black chess piece, blocking his way, and today there were six games in a row, and Xu Tiantian won the game. It was too abnormal, put down the chess pieces in his hand, raised his head, and sure enough, he saw Xuan Ye looking preoccupied.
Xu Tiantian waved her hand, put away the chess pieces vividly, and retreated with interest.
Xuan Ye stood up and looked out the window, faintly worried.
"Every household of the people has planted potatoes, but they can't eat them all at the moment, and the potatoes are pushed into a mountain for a while, which is really wasteful."
Xu Tiantian frowned, one hand on her chin, and her eyes were a little ethereal. This is indeed a problem, when everyone was asked to plant potatoes to solve the urgent need, now that it has passed the time when everyone can not have food and clothing, these potatoes naturally have to have a good solution.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere!"
Xu Tiantian suddenly got up from the couch and took Xuan Ye's hand out of the courtyard.
Xuan Ye was puzzled, "Tiantian, where are we going?" Although he didn't know what to do, Xuan Ye never stopped.
Xu Tiantian stopped and tilted her head to look at him, "Since there is a problem, it is natural to solve it." ”
When it was over, Xu Tiantian took Xuanye to the kitchen.
She is a restaurant owner, and the solutions that can make her solve problems are naturally in the kitchen.
"You help me wash the potatoes and remove the skin."
Xu Tiantian rolled up her sleeves, scooped a scoop of water and cleaned the pot neatly, there is a lot of firewood in the kitchen, so you don't have to worry.
Washing the potatoes is not a problem, Xuan Ye has been by Xu Tiantian's side before, he will help from time to time when she cooks, although the cooking skills are not good, but he can finally cook some meals.
It's just that this potato, he hasn't seen it much before, and even if he eats it, it is Xu Tiantian or the chef who will process it, which stumped him for a while.
When Xu Tiantian made the fire and looked at Xuanye, he saw that originally, the big potato Xuanye had only a little bit left, but looking at the seriousness in his eyes, there was a tendency to continue to cut it.
Xu Tiantian swallowed his saliva, "Xuan, Xuanye." ”
Xuan Ye continued, with some confusion in his eyes, "Huh? ”
Xu Tiantian pointed to the thing in his hand, "This potato, I just told you to remove the skin." ”
Xuan Ye nodded a little stubbornly, "I know." ”
He did know that Xu Tiantian told him to remove the skin, but this thing looked exactly the same inside and outside, and he had been shaving it for so long, and he was still like this.
This thing doesn't look good, how can it be so clear whether it's skin or not?
Xu Tiantian shook her head helplessly, this was her negligence, she knew that Xuan Ye was a prince and didn't cook very often, but she still wanted him to do these trivial things, which was tantamount to lifting a stone and shooting herself in the foot.
"Forget it, you look at these fires so raw, don't let it go out, just leave these things to me."
Although Xuan Ye still wanted to do something more, he knew that this was not something he was familiar with, so he had to nod, handed over the few remaining potatoes in his hand to Xu Tiantian, found a small bench and sat down, and lit the fire by himself.
In the kitchen, the only thing he could do was to help Xu Tiantian light the fire.
Xu Tiantian wiped the sweat on her forehead and quickly removed the skin from the potatoes. Xuan Ye looked at it and asked again, "Tiantian, how can this potato distinguish whether it is skin or not?" ”
At the moment, Xu Tiantian is only concerned about doing her own thing, where do she still scruple to find Xuanye, "The skin of this potato is only a thin layer, you don't have to be too obsessed with it." Help me pour the oil into the pot and pour more. ”
Xuan Ye sighed, stood up and poured the oil into the pot, Xu Tiantian cut the potatoes into thin slices, and glanced at the oil in the pot again, "It's okay." ”
Hearing what Xu Tiantian said, Xuan Ye stopped and put the oil aside, and sat on the small bench again.
Xu Tiantian found some flour, put some eggs in the flour, and took a few other eggs and put them into a bowl separately, stirring them with chopsticks and beating them together. Looking at the thinly sliced potatoes, he found a long chopstick, first put them in flour and wrapped them evenly, then turned a poop in the egg mixture, and then threw them into the oil pot.
The oil in the pot was bubbling and bubbling, and after a short time, the potatoes that had been thrown down rose up, probably because of the flour, and the two sides were golden and looked very crispy.
"The fire is a little smaller, otherwise these things are going to be mush,"
After Xu Tiantian finished speaking, Xuan Ye pulled out some more torches from the stove, and the fire instantly decreased.
Then he scooped up these potatoes one by one, and Xu Tiantian sprinkled some cumin powder and seasonings.
"You taste it."
After the potato chips on the plate were cold, Xu Tiantian served them to Xuan Ye.
Xuan Ye pinched up a potato chip, this thing is very crispy, and it will probably break if you are not careful.
It tastes good when you take a bite, but if you use it for cooking, I'm afraid there are some flaws, and if you just use it to make some snacks, it's even better.
"The taste is okay, but this method is a bit complicated, and not every household will do it, not to mention wasting so much grain and oil, I'm afraid that ordinary people are reluctant to do it."
Xu Tiantian clasped her hands to her chest, saying that she had not eaten such potato chips for a long time, these potatoes could not only be used to make potato chips, but also to make French fries.
"There are more ways to cook in the world, and this method is naturally not something that every household can do, you just have to have people collect these potatoes. Since these things are kept in every household, then the piles are also piles, even if you give him a pound of five dollars will be sold, we will naturally make another profit if we process these things into snacks. ”
Potatoes are the least difficult ingredients to make things, and it just so happens that the people can't finish these potatoes in their hands, and it just so happens that she needs these things again, so it is naturally best for the two parties to hit it off.
Xu Tiantian made all these things into fries and potato chips and put them in the seafood restaurant. These things attract a lot of children.
Zhao Zichen looked at the people in the store and was indeed a little surprised by Xu Tiantian's mind, a woman can come up with so many ways to run a store so prosperous, there are some means to think about it, if it weren't for Xu Tiantian is the person Xuan Ye likes, he would appreciate her very much.
"I've always heard from the guys in the store that the proprietress is wise and shrewd, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, the proprietress was really a different woman from the past."
Xu Tiantian smiled, "It's just some whims." ”
She didn't have any brains, she just had more of the market than these people had seen that they hadn't seen.
Maybe Xu Tiantian was too confident, or maybe the light in her eyes was too dazzling, and for a while, Zhao Zichen looked at Xu Tiantian's smiling appearance, and he actually lost his mind for a moment.
"What's wrong? Is there something on your mind? ”
Xu Tiantian took two steps forward, looked at the customers in the store, and turned his head to see the light in Zhao Zichen's eyes, which seemed to be looking at something.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just think a woman like the boss lady is really rare in the world."
These words are not a compliment, Xu Tiantian naturally listens to too many words and does not take them to heart.
"When you see more of the world, you will naturally know that these are just imitations."
Zhao Zichen nodded, but his heart was itching with hatred, "What the boss lady said is very true, we people still have to see the world a lot." ”
Knowing that potatoes can be made into fries and potato chips, some people found business opportunities in this and contracted a large number of fields to grow potatoes and sell them to Xu Tiantian, and Dongcheng's economy is not as backward as it was at the beginning.
There are even some people who have already left Dongcheng, seeing that there are business opportunities in Dongcheng, and they have to move back one after another, and set up a house in the city, although it cannot be compared with the capital, but compared with some other cities, the development of Dongcheng is indeed so that people have nothing to say.
In the evening, Xu Tiantian returned to the house, and Li Xiaohui was waiting for her under the gardenia tree with the child in her arms.
"Xiaohui, why don't you look for me in the store if you have something?"
Xu Tiantian hurriedly put down the things in his hand, a child is really the same day as a child. Xiao Zhixu originally had a little bit of Li Xiaohui's appearance, but he watched him grow up day by day, and some of the hard lines on his face became more and more like Shen Qi.
"It's not a big deal, I don't know what's going on these days, I'm crying like this every day. I took him out and walked around, and before I knew it, I was in your yard. ”
Xu Tiantian clapped her hands and took over Xiao Zhixu, "Why don't you listen to your mother?" ”
Xiao Zhixu still had some tears on his eyes, Xu Tiantian gently wiped away his tears, "Look, look, such a young person is really wronged when he cries, and he can still squeeze out a few tears." ”
