After returning to the kitchen, Luo Qiong put away the big potato plant and the basket of small potatoes, then ran to the potato field by the lake with the basket in hand.

I hurriedly greeted my neighbors along the way. When I arrived at the potato field, I was shocked by the lush potato seedlings in front of me.

According to the normal growth rate, within a month of this large field of potatoes, the potato seedlings should have just stretched out their leaves, but the potatoes in front of them have already grown to knee-high.

The originally neat field ridges had long since disappeared, completely covered by the lush leaves.

Compared with the surrounding plots, which are sparse and can still see yellow soil, Luo Qiong's potato field stands out from the crowd.

Luo Qiong walked to the edge of the field, pushed the potato seedlings aside, and exposed the ridges below. After careful observation, there were cracks on the ridges. This was the result!

Luo Qiong looked at the growth of the potato seedlings. According to this progress, they should be mature in less than a month.

Normally potatoes mature in three months, but this field should mature in one and a half months.

The time has been increased by at least half.

The leaves of potatoes usually turn yellow when they mature. At present, the leaves of these potatoes are still very green, and they are still some time away from maturity.

Luo Qiong tried to dig a nest outside, but unexpectedly he also dug out seven or eight potatoes, and the smallest of these potatoes was the size of a fist, which was about the same size as the largest batch of potatoes originally planted.

Seeing these potatoes, Luo Qiong couldn't help but fell into deep thought. The potatoes in the vegetable garden and these potatoes should be from the same batch!

Why do they mature earlier than here? Moreover, Luo Qiong estimated that even if the potatoes in the field are mature in half a month, they should be as big as the ones in the vegetable garden.

The same seeds, using the same earth element, why is there such a difference?

Is it related to planting density?

After this idea appeared, it was quickly overturned by Luo Qiong. In terms of planting density, the planting density of vegetables in the vegetable garden is much higher than that of the potato field.

Moreover, vegetables first come from grass. When it comes to nutrient-dense vegetables, they are no worse than potatoes.

So what exactly is the reason?

Luo Qiong thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

In the end, I just gave up and went home with a basket of potatoes.

After a busy morning, it was already past nine o'clock when I got home. This time happened to be meal time in the countryside, and my parents hadn't come back yet.

Luo Qiong went directly into the kitchen, found the two potatoes that he had dug out in the vegetable garden, peeled them and put them in a basin. The two potatoes almost filled the sink.

Luo Qiong washed the potatoes, took out two of them and cut them into plum-sized pieces. Then he went to the vegetable garden to pick a handful of beans, a few green onions, and a few peppers.

Cut the potatoes into cubes, cut the beans into sections, cut the shallots into chopped green onions, and cut the peppers into shreds.

Of the remaining two potatoes, cut half into shreds and half into slices.

My hometown still uses wood stoves, and the big black pot is bigger than the basin. Luo Qiong skillfully lit the fire and then added half a pot of hot water to the pot.

The temperature of the fire rose quickly, and soon the water started to boil. Luo Qiong first put the cut potato slices into the pot. After boiling for about thirty seconds, he took out the potato slices and put them aside in the cold water that had been prepared. among.

Then he took out a handful of noodles and threw them directly into the water. After the noodles were cooked until they were half cooked and soft, he took them out and put them in another basin.

I poured a spoonful of oil on the noodles and mixed them with chopsticks to prevent them from sticking.

Then quickly scoop out the water in the pot, wait until the pot is red again, add a few spoons of oil, it will take time for the oil to burn, dry the potato slices, put the chopped green onions and shredded peppers on top, and add some Sichuan peppercorns. Salt, chicken essence, MSG, sugar, and finally some minced garlic.

At this time, the oil was also burning red. I took a spoonful of hot oil and poured it directly on the pile of condiments.

Add the remaining chopped green onion and chili directly to the remaining oil in the pot.

With a "stab" sound, a strong fragrance hit his face. Luo Qiong picked up the washed potato shreds and poured them down directly, then picked up a shovel and stir-fried.

Finally, add salt and sugar, stir-fry for a while, pour a spoonful of water along the edge of the pot, and cover the pot.

He turned around and took out the vinegar and poured a little more into the pot of potato slices, picked up the pot and started stirring quickly.

After thirty seconds, pour it out onto a plate and sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onions.

A plate of white and green cold potato slices is ready.

At this moment, someone on the edge of the pot lid became angry. Luo Qiong opened the pot lid, and a smell of aroma rushed towards him. Luo Qiong swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously.

Pick up the vinegar on one side and sprinkle it along the edge of the pot.

When the hot iron pot met the white vinegar, a burst of white smoke rose up, and the already mouth-watering aroma was sublimated again. Luo Qiong quickly stir-fried a few times, and finally added a handful of minced garlic.

The aroma escalated again, and Luo Qiong finally couldn't bear it anymore. Regardless of the burning of his hands, he reached out and picked up a few potato shreds from the pot and stuffed them into his mouth.

Green, fragrant, spicy, and numb flavors exploded in Luo Qiong's mouth, and an unparalleled sense of satisfaction filled his taste buds. The flavors of various ingredients were intricate, but they complemented each other, making Luo Qiong unable to stop.

Resisting the urge to take another bite, Luo Qiong began to put the food in the pot onto a plate. Then I brushed the pot clean and added a handful of firewood.

After the fire started, add three tablespoons of oil again. When the oil turns red, add chopped green onion and chili. After sautéing until fragrant, add potato cubes and beans and stir-fry quickly. When the potato cubes are all shiny, add salt, soy sauce and other spices.

Stir-fry evenly, add water to cover the potatoes, then place the noodles that have been mixed with oil and spread them evenly on the potatoes, and cover the pot.

Simmer over medium heat for ten minutes. If you hear no sizzling sound in the pot, it proves that the water has evaporated. Wait for two minutes.

Luo Qiong lifted the lid of the pot, and the heat suddenly rose. The aromas of potatoes, beans, and noodles were mixed together.

It is different from the color and aroma of steaming, cooking and stir-frying, but it combines the aromas of steaming, boiling and stir-frying.

Luo Qiong once again grabbed a handful of chopped green onions and sprinkled them on top of the noodles, then used a spatula to stir them in along the edge of the pot, and turned over the potatoes and beans underneath.

Yellow potatoes and green beans were turned over. The side that touches the pot is browned. As the potatoes and beans were turned over, the aroma instantly became stronger several times.

Luo Qiong's mouth secreted a large amount of saliva unconsciously. After swallowing with difficulty, Luo Qiong held her breath and did not dare to smell the fragrance again.

Quickly mix the potatoes and beans in the pot. Then he grabbed the lid of the pot and put it on.

When he walked outside the kitchen, he let out a big breath.

"How can it smell so good!"

Fried shredded potatoes, cold potato slices, and steamed noodles with potatoes and beans are the most common meals in their home. Luo Qiong has eaten it countless times.

But he had never thought that these home-cooked meals could be so fragrant, so fragrant that he couldn't help it.

If it weren't for the fact that his parents didn't come back, Luo Qiong would have eaten directly from the big pot without waiting for the food to be served.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long. Luo Ping'an and his wife came back with their hoes.

"Erwazi, what kind of food did you cook? Why is it so delicious?"

Before reaching the door of the house, Luo Ping'an's voice was heard from far away.

"Has the fragrance of rice spread so far?"
