Chapter 527 French Fries (23 More)
When Jiang Zhimian came back from finding the saltpeter, he found that Fu Xiner had already peeled a large pot of potatoes!
"You... what are you doing?" Jiang Zhimian was stunned.

"If you don't come back, Ms. Fu will probably cut off all the lotus roots for you." Ju Shenyuan said.

This is not a joke.

This is real!

Just now, Fu Xiner saw herself peeling potatoes, so she said she wanted to try.

Ju Shenyuan thought, this is the daughter of a rich family who has never seen this before, so she was curious.

So I handed it to her, thinking it would be troublesome to cut it twice, and then stopped.

As a result, the more they peeled, the more interesting they became. They simply peeled the half-sack of potatoes on the ground, and asked if there was anything else that Ju Shenyuan could peel?
Thinking of this, Ju Shenyuan looked a little apologetic, "I didn't expect her to cut so much, would it be wasted?"

Fu Xiner also felt guilty when she heard the word "waste".

"Sorry, how much are these potatoes, I will pay you back."

Jiang Zhimian glanced at the peeled potatoes in the basin, then at the expressions of Ju Shenyuan and Fu Xiner.

He put the saltpeter he took out into the cabinet next to him, "You don't need to pay, but I can't teach you how to make desserts. Let's make French fries!"

"Okay!" Fu Xiner was also very interested in this.

"First of all, peel all the potatoes." Jiang Zhimian said.

Fu Xiner nodded, and went back to work with a paring knife.

And Ju Shenyuan was in charge of lighting the fire and boiling the water in the pot.

When the water boiled, Fu Xiner's potatoes were all peeled.

After cleaning, throw them all into the pot, and wait until they are cooked before taking them out.

After the potatoes of different sizes are cooked, the color will become slightly darker, and there will be a strong smell of cooked starch in the back kitchen.

"The next step is to mash all these potatoes. You can mash them with a rolling pin first, then wash your hands and crush the small pieces." Jiang Zhimian said.

Fu Xiner was the first one again, mashing the mashed potatoes very hard with a rolling pin.

Ju Shenyuan also helped for a while, but she didn't have as good physical strength as Fu Xiner, so she had to step back and rest for a while.

Seeing Fu Xiner's appearance, she couldn't help muttering softly, "I really don't know if she is a rich daughter or I am a rich daughter, why is she so powerful?"

Miss or something, shouldn't you be unable to lift your hands and shoulders?
He clearly spoke very quietly, but Jiang Zhimian still heard him.

"Miss Fu has never done this before, so she finds it strange. She had so much fun that she forgot to be tired." Jiang Zhimian explained,

Hearing what Jiang Zhimian said, Ju Shenyuan was watching, but Fu Xiner really seemed to be playing.

It turns out that the happiness of a rich daughter is so easy, just peeling and mashing potatoes, and she is already grinning from ear to ear.

Just as she was thinking, Fu Xiner raised her head, "Where are you going to wash your hands?"

"Here, I'll take you there." Jiang Zhimian led her to the water tank.

Pour water on Fu Xiner's hands with a ladle and tell her to wash them clean.

Fu Xiner washed her hands very seriously, then raised her head to look at Jiang Zhimian, "Thank you for taking me to do this, it's very interesting."

"If you like, you can come to me often when you are in Anchang Town, and I can take you to do other things." Jiang Zhimian replied.

"Really?" Fu Xiner's eyes suddenly glowed, "Then it's settled, I will come to you as soon as I have time, don't go back on your word."

"No regrets."

After washing her hands, Fu Xiner went over and kneaded the mashed potatoes thoroughly.

Jiang Zhimian added an appropriate amount of flour and two egg yolks, which can increase the stickiness of the mashed potatoes, and the French fries will not easily fall apart.

Cut the mashed potatoes into small square strips, put them in the pan for frying, take them out when they are golden brown, and finally sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, and you're done.

Fu Xiner liked to eat it very much, and asked to take a copy back to the inn to eat.

"When I go back to the capital, I'll cook it for my mother." Fu Xiner said.

"It's ok, but you can't make it often. French fries are high in calories and easy to gain weight." Jiang Zhimian reminded.

Hearing this, Fu Xiner was immediately distressed, "But French fries are delicious, if you can only eat them once in a long time, it's better not to eat them."

"It's simple," Ju Shenyuan had already thought of a solution, "You put the French fries in the cold before eating, wouldn't there be no calories?"

"That's right, that's all about cooling, Miss Jiang, will high cooling make you gain weight?" Fu Xiner asked for advice seriously.

Jiang Zhimian: ...

She can't answer this question.

Fortunately, Princess Ning came back, and when she heard the three of them talking inside, she asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

Seeing Princess Ning, Fu Xiner immediately put down the french fries in her hand, and her eyes narrowed, losing the agility and liveliness she had just now.

"Auntie, you're back." Fu Xiner stepped forward and shouted.

Princess Ning hummed, looked at the French fries on the table, "What is this?"

"Ms. Jiang taught me to make French fries. It's very interesting and delicious. Auntie, try it?" Fu Xiner asked again.

Concubine Ning waved her hand, "It's deep-fried, I don't want to eat it, let's go, Xin'er, let's go and see the little house we bought."

Fu Xiner responded, and helped Princess Ning go out.

Ju Shenyuan also saluted, and after sending the two away, she continued to sit down and eat, "Why is Fu Xiner so afraid of Princess Ning's appearance?"

"It's called rules, everyone is a lady, how can she be so lively in front of her elders, she's not ladylike enough." Jiang Zhimian said.

Ju Shenyuan patted her chest, "Fortunately, I don't really want to marry Prince Xiaoqi, otherwise, if I do that in the future, something will go wrong."

"Stop talking about others behind their backs, hurry up and eat, I'm going to clean up the stove." Jiang Zhimian said.

Ju Shenyuan let out an oh, took another French fries and started eating.

When tidying up the stove, Jiang Zhimian kept thinking about Fu Xiner.

Currently, Ju Shenyuan's identity has not been exposed by Concubine Ning and Fu Xiner. It stands to reason that Ju Shenyuan is Fu Xiner's rival in love.

But when Fu Xiner looked at Ju Shenyuan, there was only admiration and admiration in her eyes.

If it is said that it is pretending in front of people, then when no one sees, the real emotion will flow out unconsciously.

Jiang Zhimian watched it many times when he was making French fries, and Fu Xiner's eyes were always the same and never changed.

She doesn't dislike Tachibana Shenyuan, and even seems to like being with Tachibana Shenyuan very much.

Then, Jiang Zhimian came to a bold conclusion in his mind.

Just as he was thinking, the rag in his hand was taken away.

"What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed that the rag almost fell into the frying pan." Chi Mohan took the rag and began to wipe the stove naturally, asking Jiang Zhimian.

"I was thinking about this Fu Xiner, did you notice something was wrong?" Jiang Zhimian asked him.
