In Taiping Town, which is full of New Year's flavor, Sun Lien looked at the shop owners who had begun to close their stalls, and finally had some feelings of "now is the New Year".

Taiping Town itself is not too big, but since the national highway passes through the town, the transportation is quite convenient. In Taiping Town, in addition to the original agriculture and the booming light industry, the most impressive thing is the variety of snacks and delicacies with local characteristics. Taiping Town does have its own unique advantages in this regard - the locally produced purple potatoes are a well-known famous product in ten miles and eight townships. The potatoes are not big, but they taste surprisingly good. In addition to the obvious and dramatic changes in taste with cooking time, the rich starch content and somewhat sweet taste make this less common potato more sought after by many gourmets.

As for the locals of Taiping Town, the best way to eat purple-skinned potatoes is, in their opinion, to make them into artichoke rubs, or fried into potato chips. However, the approach is different from that in the field. Here, both the potato rub and the potato chips have to be thick. The potatoes fried in this way are crispy and delicious on the outside, and they rattle when you bite into them, but the inside is soft and fluffy, and even has some sweetness. It's addictive.

However, Penny has little interest in simple fried potatoes - she still wants to eat fries with meat sauce. For the little ones, the crispy fries are good, but they are not as appealing as the sweet and sour pâté and cheese.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and it's almost time to close the stall. The shops selling purple-skinned potatoes in front of their homes in town were much more talkative than usual. In addition, Penny is a little girl who really looks likeable, and it is a foreign friend who comes to China to experience the atmosphere of the New Year. The shop owners discussed with each other and decided to get together and have a good time. One provided an induction cooker and kitchenware, while the other provided the raw materials for the french fries. Dr. Brune brought quite a few cheeses himself, while Elizabeth cooked the meat sauce herself.

If you don't have tomato paste, you can offer fresh tomatoes and granulated sugar and salt. There was no oven, and the fellow who sold baked potatoes on the side directly lent his own oven. Everyone was curious about what this little girl's bolognese fries tasted like. At the same time, I also have the intention of watching the excitement. A group of adults were busy by the stove, and there was such a beautiful little girl pouting and waiting for food on the table, which was indeed very tasteful of the New Year.

Sun Lien, Dr. Pascal, and Brune strolled to the side. Fearing that Elizabeth and others would not communicate well – especially when Todd's Chinese skills had not yet been fully tested – they did not dare to go far. But it's already fun to walk around the neighborhood.

Dr. Pascal has been to China many times before, but at that time he came to China for MSF free clinics and academic exchange activities. There is simply no time or opportunity to visit such a festive stall. As for Brune...... He hadn't seen it again. The two foreigners visited the red lanterns, couplets and window grilles hanging everywhere as if they were aliens, and expressed their heartfelt admiration for the Chinese knot. The content of the two men's admiration was as follows, "Maybe this kind of section can be used for surgery?"

After strolling around slowly, and tasting rock sugar gourd and stinky tofu by the way, two foreigners who had never seen the world followed Sun Lien back to the market. Penny was grabbing fries and stuffing them into her mouth, red tomato bolognese rubbing her face. A few other proprietors who were eager to provide the ingredients were surrounding Elizabeth and Little Todd, and carefully documenting the recipe for the pâté.

"I've never done this before. A few shopkeepers said with a smile, "It's just that I feel a little tired in my mouth at first glance, but everything else is pretty good." ”

Dr. Brunn picked up the fries from the side and took a bite of them, and then snagged his fingers, "It tastes good, but it's missing a little impact......" He looked at the shopkeepers with serious faces, "Are there any sour peppers?"

Dr. Pascal picked up a bottle of chili pepper from the table next to him, unscrewed the lid and handed it to Brune, "There are no jalapeños, but you can try this." ”

Texans are undoubtedly miserable. This act of pitting each other drew a burst of laughter from the surrounding onlookers.

"Alright, let's go. Sun Lien waved his hand at a few people, and by the way, threw the dozen catties of purple-skinned potatoes he had just bought into the trunk. "We'd better get to Changning ...... before dark" Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of exclamations from the scene.

Looking at the lively villagers, there is a young woman with a child. She was originally riding an electric car today, coming over to buy some freshly killed pork, ready to go home to cook Chinese New Year's Eve.

The little commotion caused by Dr. Pascal's family diverted her attention. However, the crowd was a little dense, so she parked her electric car next to a stall of baked potatoes and went over to see the excitement with curiosity.

She didn't walk far, about two meters away. Her child was installed in an "electric car child seat" purchased online. The seats actually look a bit like the kind of swings in a playground that can swing very high. The child's lower body can just be snapped into the seat and sit down, and then the upper body can be fixed with a nylon quick-release buckle. It looks sturdy and solid, and most importantly, the child doesn't feel anything particularly uncomfortable.

This child safety seat is designed to be placed between the driver and the operating handle. Children can also look at the scenery outside and put their hands on the operating handlebars of the electric car. At least it looks pretty comfortable.

And when the young woman got out of the car to watch the excitement, she forgot to pull out the key on the battery car.

When the child saw his mother walk away, he immediately became anxious. But he was not yet a year old and could not speak, "Ahh The small hand directly grabbed the right handle of the battery car, and then with the action of lowering his arm, the acceleration function of the battery car was activated.

The runaway battery car slammed headfirst into the stove of baked potatoes after screaming in place to draw a circle. The large iron bucket used to bake potatoes suddenly deflated. The battery car, which lost its balance because the front wheels were stuck in the stove, was thrown again under the drive of the rear wheels, and the hot purple-skinned potatoes in the stove were sprinkled out along with the still burning coals. Many of the townspeople who were joining in the fun were taken aback. The whole crowd suddenly rioted.

And Sun Lien saw with his own eyes that the little boy who was locked in the battery car fell into the back of the neck collar and a piece of coals covered with a layer of gray-white fire.
