Chapter 395 Potato Chips 2
"Hahaha, I made this specially for Yunyun. I'm sure she likes it."
When talking about his granddaughter, Grandpa Zhao smiled even more happily. "Yunyun loves snacks the most. If she sees these foods, she will definitely not even eat her meals."
Xu Han also smiled and said, "That's impossible. Yunyun likes the food I cook so much, she will definitely not refuse to eat."
As the two were talking, the Taoist priest and Lu Chuan walked in from outside.
As soon as we entered the courtyard, the Taoist priest asked, "What new food did you make at home? Did you fry something? This taste is a bit strange and a bit familiar."
Grandpa Zhao joked, "You have the best nose. None of the dogs at home can compare to you."
"Of course, you can't hide anything you want to eat from me."
As the Taoist priest was speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong, picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at Grandpa Zhao.
"How dare you, old man Zhao, tease me."
Grandpa Zhao nimbly dodged the stone thrown by the Taoist priest and said with a smile, "Hahahaha, I didn't say that. You admitted it yourself."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and for a moment the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao started chasing each other in the yard. The back and forth between the two was comparable to a martial arts movie.
Xu Han secretly said, "People who know martial arts are really different. Even their fights are so exciting to watch."
Seeing the two running around in the yard, Ze'er stumbled over, but sat down after only a few steps. He was wearing too many clothes and his body was not flexible.
After falling down, Ze'er didn't cry, but just sat on the ground and started playing. Ze'er was really too naughty. He wore thick winter clothes and always wanted to walk by himself. He would fall eight or ten times a day, and he was used to it.
Wearing thick clothes has its advantages. At least it won’t hurt when you fall. Otherwise, he would cry every day.
They were playing and fighting in the yard, while Xu Han, Lu Chuan and Mu'er were squatting in a row at the kitchen door, each holding a small bowl of the potato chips they wanted to eat, as if they were watching a show.
This scene was indeed a bit funny, but the three of them didn't care at all and enjoyed watching it.
Finally, the Taoist priest said, "Stop, stop, stop. Stop beating. Look at the four of them, some squatting, some sitting, looking like they are enjoying a good show. They don't try to hide it at all. If you keep beating them, they will eat up all the food."
Grandpa Zhao also stopped when he heard this, mainly because he heard that the food was almost finished.
Although I knew I made a lot of potato chips, I just tasted them and hadn't eaten enough, so I stopped.
Lu Chuan was still fanning the flames and said, "You guys are not going to fight anymore? We have only exchanged a few moves! Are you admitting defeat? I was just planning to move a chair and sit down to watch."
When the Taoist priest passed by the kitchen door, he kicked Lu Chuan rudely. However, Lu Chuan had already learned his experience from being kicked, so he flexibly dodged when the Taoist priest stretched out his foot.
Maybe because he squatted for too long, Lu Chuan accidentally sat down on the ground while trying to avoid the Taoist priest.
Xu Han laughed loudly, "You're so talkative. You got kicked out now."
Xu Han smiled as she slowly stood up and stretched her feet which had become numb from squatting. She took a deep breath in her heart and thought, "My, the numbness in my feet is really uncomfortable."
The three of them stood up and moved around for a while before Xu Han stood up and picked up Ze'er, and at the same time put away the cushion that she had just placed under his butt.
The weather is quite cold now. Although the sun is shining brightly at noon, it is inevitable to catch a cold if you sit on the ground for a long time. It will be troublesome if you have diarrhea later.
The Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao, like Xu Han had done before, held bowls filled with some potato chips and dried sweet potatoes and ate them with a crunchy mouthful.
"Is this really made from sweet potatoes and potatoes? I never thought these two things could be used to make something so delicious."
Xu Han said with a proud look on her face, "It's delicious, right? There are many ways to cook potatoes and sweet potatoes. I'll make some for you to try some other day."
Just kidding, potato chips are the favorite snack of modern young people, both adults and children like to eat them. For ancient people who lacked food, they were a rare and delicious snack. It was so easy to conquer ancient people in minutes.
The Taoist priest ate them one by one and said, "You said so. There are still a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the cellar. You can grow as many as you want. If they are not enough, I will plant more next year."
Xu Han was speechless. How much must they like to eat them? You know, they planted a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes this year. Even if the dogs at home eat some of them as staple food, it will be enough for most of the next year.
The Taoist priest actually wanted to use all those potatoes and sweet potatoes as snacks.
Forget it, forget it. People who can’t cook don’t know how many potato chips and sweet potato jerky these can make. Xu Han was magnanimous and didn’t argue with him.
But I couldn't help but say, "No matter how delicious this is, it can't be eaten as a meal. And it looks like a lot, but it won't fill you up. You should eat less. I'll go make lunch."
"Wife, let me help you." Lu Chuan said and followed her into the kitchen.
Because she had fried something in a frying pan in the morning, Xu Han had been smelling the fumes all morning and had no appetite at the moment, so she simply made a big pot of sour soup noodles.
Everyone just ate potato chips and dried sweet potatoes, which was just right to relieve the greasiness.
While eating, Xu Han finally remembered to ask Lu Chuan, "Why did you come back so early today?"
"We were planning to go to the mountains to hunt pheasants and rabbits today, but halfway through we realized we didn't bring lunch, so we wandered around the mountains near our home and came back."
"No wonder. I was wondering why you guys came back so early today. If that's the case, don't go out in the afternoon. It gets dark early anyway, and you won't be able to hunt much if you go up the mountain in the afternoon."
"Okay, the Taoist priest and I will go and pull the manure outside the yard to the composting area, and make compost out of it."
Xu Han thought about it and agreed, "I'll go with you guys later. There's nothing to do at home, and more people will get the job done faster."
The Taoist priest interrupted and said, "You don't have to go. You can stay at home and look after the children. The wind is strong in the valley. If you go, Ze'er will definitely follow you. If he drinks the wind, he will definitely get sick again."
Xu Han thought so and decided not to force it.
Everyone was busy in the afternoon. While Ze'er was taking a nap, Xu Han couldn't be idle either. The weather was good these two days, so Xu Han cut some sweet potato chips and dried them in the yard.
The best porridge is made from dried sweet potato slices, which is sweet, sandy and sticky.
The old people and children in the family like to eat it very much. The ones that were dried before the disaster year were eaten up long ago. Xu Han has been busy recently, so he dried less recently, and now he has eaten almost all of it.
Just when she had some free time, Xu Han took a look around and found that she had missed such a big task.
I have to dry it in the sun more today, otherwise it will be finished soon and it will be troublesome to dry it back and forth in the sun.
After Ze'er woke up, Xu Han cut sweet potato chips while looking after the child.
This time, Xu Han not only dried the sweet potato slices, but also cut some sweet potato cubes to dry in the sun.
Drying sweet potato dices is much more troublesome than drying sweet potato slices. You need to peel the sweet potatoes first, and then cut them into one-centimeter-sized dices. You cannot cut them too big at this step. If they are too big, they will not be easy to dry, and they will not be easy to cook when eaten.
Therefore, you have to control the size when cutting, and the pieces you cut are relatively small, which takes a lot of time.
It takes the same amount of time to cut one sweet potato dice to make several dried sweet potatoes. It is quite troublesome to make them, but fortunately Xu Han does not plan to make too much.
