Chapter 85: Chapter 85 French Fries_1

But when he approached Nan Feng, he realized that Nan Feng was not looking at him.

Next to Nan Feng sat Ye Ge, and she was chatting with Ye Ge and laughing, not paying any attention to what they were talking about.

Mo Wenxuan felt a hint of anger but he held it back.

Since they didn’t seem interested in the cakes, he might as well just bypass them completely.

But who knew that Nan Feng, being a natural foodie, took two pieces as Mo Wenxuan’s plate passed by her, one for herself and one for Ye Ge, and then resumed her conversation with Ye Ge.

She didn’t even look at Mo Wenxuan!

Mo Wenxuan felt his anger rising again, but had nowhere to vent it, so he simply had to let it pass!

...

Nan Feng’s potatoes were finally done cooking!

She originally planted the potatoes to make fries. As soon as the potatoes were dug up, she couldn’t wait to cut them into strips and soak them to remove the starch.

She had watched a video on frying potatoes late at night and while she hadn’t tried it herself before, she remembered the steps well.

After soaking the fries for half an hour, she drained them and poured half a pot of oil into the pan.

She wasn’t worried about wasting oil, because the oil used to make fries could also be used to stir-fry vegetables.

As she placed the fries in the oil one by one, listening to the popping sounds in the pan, and smelled the increasingly delicious aroma, she couldn’t help but salivate.

Although she wasn’t as greedy for food as she had been when she first arrived, she was still very keen on eating.

Nan Quanyou also came in when he smelled the aroma.

Looking at the fries bubbling in the pan, Nan Quanyou couldn’t help asking, "Can potatoes be eaten this way?"

He usually ate potatoes fried, baked, or steamed as a meal.

Nan Feng said: "Of course, Dad, wait for it. I promise you’ll want more after you try."

After the fries turned golden brown, Nan Feng took them out, drained the oil and sprinkled them with salt.

She suddenly wished that she had tomatoes so that she could make ketchup.

Unfortunately, tomatoes weren’t available in this era. She remembered from an encyclopedia that tomatoes weren’t introduced to the Central Plains until the nineteenth century.

But it didn’t matter; the fries were still delicious without tomatoes.

Nan Feng tried one and found it crispy and the amount of salt just right. She tasted another one and seeing Nan Quanyou watching her eagerly, she quickly handed the plate to him and said, "Dad, taste it!"

Nan Quanyou took one and bit into it. It was crispy on the outside and soft inside; the texture was delightful. He couldn’t help but give a thumbs up: "Good, it’s really tasty!"

In a blink of an eye, the father-daughter pair had finished a whole plate and were still licking their fingers.

Nan Feng continued to fry a few more, Nan Quanyou wanted to eat more, but Nan Feng stopped him, as eating too many fries could cause a heaty constitution.

Nan Quanyou then asked, "Why are you still frying then?"

Nan Feng said: "I’m sending some to Aqiu and Fatty Ya."

Of course, she also included Ye Ge.

...

After Aqiu and others tasted the fries, they were full of praise. Nan Feng taught them how to make it and encouraged them to plant more potatoes. Not only could potatoes be used as snacks, but they could also provide sustenance in periods of food shortage.

Then she brought a plate to Ye Ge.

After the vegetable field’s faucet was fixed, she and Ye Ge were about to continue studying hunting traps, so delivering fries was just a side task.

At Uncle Zhou’s house, Nan Feng and Ye Ge sat under the tree in the yard.

Ye Ge ate the fries differently from Nan Quanyou. He gently bit into a small piece, chewed it carefully, then moved onto the next one.

He didn’t say anything and just went on eating one fry after another, until he finished them all.
