Chapter 260 Fried Chicken, Wolf Tooth Potatoes

Xu Qingmeng then took an empty bowl, added a little soy sauce, honey, sugar and vinegar, and finally added starch and stirred. She poured it into a pot, simmered it over low heat until it became thick, and then ladled it out into a small bowl.

"Yun Sheng, go and call Xiao Yuanbao to come and eat together. Your sister-in-law will make you some appetizers."

"Okay!" Yun Sheng ran off happily, still holding a piece of fried chicken in her hand.

However, upon seeing the potatoes on the side, he asked someone to wash them, peel them, and set them aside.

Xu Qingmeng took the peeled potatoes, cut them into even strips, and then put them all into a basin of clean water to soak.

Potatoes soaked in water have their surface starch washed away, so they won't stick to the pan and burn when frying.

After soaking for a while, I rinsed the potatoes in the bowl with clean water again, drained them, and then deep-fried them until golden brown.

After draining the oil, Xu Qingmeng brought out two large bowls, poured the potato strips into one bowl and added ground chili powder, minced garlic, white sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and bird's eye chilies. Of course, one of the bowls did not contain the ground chili powder and bird's eye chilies.

After pouring in hot oil, a fragrant aroma wafts out. Then, add appropriate amounts of salt, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and the essential cumin powder. Mix well, and the wolf tooth potatoes are ready.

Of course, although these wolf tooth potatoes don't actually have a wolf tooth shape, the taste is still pretty good. The rich and flavorful seasoning coats the crisp potato strips, making them incredibly delicious.

Yunmo was already waiting on the side, and He Shi was also watching. Although the method of making this potato salad was very simple, it smelled very delicious.

Just as Xu Qingmeng poured hot oil over it, she smelled the aroma of scallions, garlic, and spicy fragrance, as well as a faint scent of sesame.

Finally, after mixing in the seasonings, it looks even more tempting, especially the one with chili powder, which is particularly appetizing.

After doing all this, Xu Qingmeng certainly didn't forget the drink she promised Yun Sheng.

Yun Sheng's favorite drink is milk tea. Back in Quan County, she would often ask Xin Ting to take her there because the shops sold it. But since coming to the prefectural city, she hadn't had it for a long time, so she decided to satisfy her craving today.

I found something great at the grocery store the other day: tapioca flour. Before, I only made milk tea, but today I'm making her one with tapioca pearls.

Take out brown sugar, add water and boil it in a pot. Then pour the boiled brown sugar water into a bowl containing tapioca flour while stirring. Finally, knead the tapioca flour into a smooth dough.

Divide the dough into long strips, pinch off small pieces, knead them into small dough balls, and finally coat them in tapioca flour. Put them in a pot and cook for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let them simmer for a while.

Take them out and put them in cold water. Repeat this process several times until the small balls turn into a transparent dark red color. This simple pearl is now ready.

Take out a small bowl, scoop a spoonful of tapioca pearls into each bowl, and then pour in the brewed milk tea. The bubble tea is now ready.

Hui Niang and the others had never tasted it before, and they were amazed. The Gu family members had all had milk tea, but none of them had ever tried this kind of pearl tea, and their eyes were full of anticipation.

The soft, chewy glutinous rice balls have a subtle brown sugar flavor when you bite into them, which pairs perfectly with the sweet and mellow milk tea.

"Mengniang, you're amazing! This smooth and creamy taste is so delicious! And these potatoes, oh my, I can't stop eating them." Huiniang was so engrossed in eating that she forgot about Xiaoyuanbao. Of course, Fang Ziheng usually did it when he was around.

Yun Sheng stared intently at the food on the table with her small eyes. "What, are you embarrassed now?"

"No, it's just that there are so many delicious things to eat that I don't know what to eat first," Yun Sheng said.

"You!"

Yun Sheng first picked up a piece of fried chicken, dipped it in the special sauce, and took a bite, her eyes narrowing into slits. Xiao Yuanbao imitated Yun Sheng, eating with his mouth full of oil. Yun Mo was relatively calm, but when he ate the wolf tooth potatoes, he obviously sped up his pace considerably.

Looking at the children's adorable faces, Mrs. He felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

The next day, early in the morning, Gu Yunyi got up and started exercising.

When He Shi got up, it was still freezing outside, and you could see a puff of white steam with each breath. Gu Yunyi was already covered in sweat from running.

"It's so early in the morning, and it's winter. You're wearing so little. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Gu Yunyi shook his head, his pace slowing down. He was panting heavily, his face even more frighteningly swollen after a night of fermentation.

"Mom, it's okay. I'll warm up by running around. Look at all the sweat on my face."

Mrs. He didn't understand either, but she still told him to hurry back to his room and change his clothes.

Of course, there's also Gu Yunmo, who is equally despondent.

Yesterday, Pei Cheng said that Gu Yunyi is getting old and started training too late. Even if he puts in a lot of effort, he can only learn simple martial arts.

Gu Yunmo is different; he is still young, and now is the perfect time for him to start training.

Yesterday, Gu Yunmo saw his older brother's condition and felt that he had escaped a disaster. Although he had practiced before, he was not professional and only practiced sporadically.

Things are different now; there's no escaping this bleak life now.

Yun Sheng is Yun Mo's twin sister, and the two of them always share everything.

This time, Yun Sheng was the least envious; in fact, she was quite gloating, feeling that her uncle and older brother loved her even more.

As the New Year approaches, the festive atmosphere in the prefectural city grows stronger, with lanterns and decorations everywhere on the streets and the sound of firecrackers filling the air.

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, the weather was still relatively warm, so Yun Sheng and Yun Mo went to the courtyard to frolic.

Xinting practiced the new dishes taught by Xu Qingmeng in the kitchen, while Gu Yunyi went to Mr. Shen's house.

Xu Qingmeng, on the other hand, was doing the accounting.

"All things considered, we've been in this prefectural city for two months. Although things are more expensive here, we've definitely earned more than in Quan County."

She kept her head down, holding an abacus, writing and drawing beside her. She held the soft brush and wrote characters that looked like a dog's crawl, but she still wrote with great effort.

Even so, the family's finances were still very clear, although the workshop and hot pot restaurant were not yet closed.

He asked, "How much did you earn?"

Although Xu Qingmeng couldn't use a calligraphy brush, she was incredibly skilled at using an abacus. In the end, she smiled and said to Madam He, "Including the noodle shop owner's outstanding payments, the total is this amount."

Mrs. He's eyes lit up as she watched her daughter-in-law gesture: "How much?"
