Joe's Farming

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning passed by a potato field and saw that it had already been dug, and they felt regretful.

"Hey, Brother Qiao, why didn't you ask us to dig earlier? I didn't even see how the potatoes came out of the ground."

Xu Ning stopped the carriage and suggested, "Why don't you go down and take a look to see if you can pick up what they leaked."

If Xu Yuan didn't know that Xu Ning was serious, he would have thought he was joking.

"Haha, forget it. With such a large area of ​​land, we don't know how long it will take to find a bargain. Let's just go and get something that's already there."

Brother Qiao told them that he would give them 500 kilograms!

Xu Ning smiled and said okay.

Because of the twins, Xu Ning's already strong figure now looks a little bloated. He was reluctant to come out at first, but when he heard that Qiao Yu was going to make a potato banquet, he couldn't help but want to come over and learn.

Because many people were coming to dinner tonight, Qiao Yu decided to hold the potato banquet at the villa.

At this moment, he was in the kitchen talking to Bai Lan Ling Lie and others about the characteristics of potatoes and what they could generally be used for.

Qiao Yu plans to make stewed pork ribs with potatoes, braised chicken with potatoes, twice-cooked pork with potatoes, salt-baked baby potatoes, cold shredded potatoes, stir-fried shredded potatoes, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, shredded potatoes with green peppers, fried potatoes with beans, sauerkraut potato soup, etc.

Changing the shape of ingredients often results in different flavors.

Qiao Yu also plans to use the milk tofu made by Hongxiu to make cheese mashed potatoes and French fries for everyone, so that everyone can know how plastic the potatoes are.

Salt-baked potatoes are made with potatoes that are smaller than eggs. There is no need to peel the freshly harvested potatoes. Just scrape them lightly with a bamboo stick and the outer skin will fall off by itself.

Then steam these small potatoes. After cooling, there will be a layer of transparent skin on the surface. At this time, use lard, salt and pepper to fry the skin until golden brown. It will be fragrant when you bite it, but it is still soft and sticky inside. Sprinkle some chopped green onions before serving. It will be delicious.

Qiao Yu didn’t know what variety of potatoes his potatoes were, but they tasted more fragrant, more glutinous, and sweeter than those in the real world.

The children came back from school just as the salt-baked potatoes were ready.

The three children smelled the fragrance from a distance and ran straight to the kitchen.

"Little Daddy! Are the potatoes finally ready to eat?"

Gu Xiaoyan said loudly.

Qiao Yu nodded and fed each of the three children a small potato.

The three children's eyes lit up as they ate: "It smells so good!"

Qiao Yu asked if he wanted more?

The three children waved their hands at the same time.

Qiao Xing: "Wait for daddy to eat together."

The other two cubs nodded vigorously.

"Be good, go to the door and see if the county magistrate has arrived. There is a little brother in their family who is older than you. Don't ignore him later."

Qiao Yu assigned tasks to the three cubs. When they heard that there were other children, they immediately ran out to greet them.

At this time, the meat dishes cooked with potatoes also began to emit a fragrant aroma, and everyone was tempted by the dense aroma of potatoes and swallowed their saliva secretly.

Qiao Yu mixed the cold potato shreds and baked the cheese mashed potatoes, but he ignored the fried potato shreds and Bai Lanhui.

In the end, only the French fries were left.

Choose large potatoes for french fries and cut them into long strips as thick as fingers.

Qiao Yu just had to say these steps, and Bai Lan, Su Qing and the others would do them automatically.

Then Qiao Yu asked them to boil the potato strips until they were clear, then take them out and drain them. After all the water was drained, they were fried in a pan.

After frying until golden brown on all sides, we took them out and put them on several plates. We sprinkled some pepper salt and chili powder on the edges and let everyone dip them in the sauce.

What a pity that the tomatoes are not ripe yet, otherwise it would be delicious with some tomato sauce.

French fries must be delicious when they are freshly fried, so Qiao Yu asked everyone to take them out quickly.

"Let everyone eat this first as an appetizer."

After Qiao Yu finished speaking, she grabbed two, stuffed one into Gu Feng's mouth, and ate the other herself.

For a while, the kitchen was filled with the sound of eating French fries.

Everyone ate and praised the taste.

“It’s delicious even without salt, and it’s crispy and crunchy.”

"Boss, this method may seem to waste a lot of oil, but there is still a lot of oil left."

"Boss, how did you come up with this way of eating it? It smells so good."

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning ate several before stopping.

"Brother Qiao, I'll have endless delicious food if I follow you. My 500 kilograms..."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "It's ready a long time ago, but it's too late tonight, so it's better for you to stay."

Xu Ning nodded: "Well, I want Xiaoshan to invite my father and little father to come and stay for a while tomorrow. By the way, learn how to grow potatoes."

"That's great. I haven't seen your father for a long time. I'll treat them to dinner tomorrow."

Xu Ning said happily: "Okay, thank you Brother Qiao."

"You're welcome." Xu Ning settled the bill for him every month and never made a mistake. He had long wanted to treat their whole family to a good meal.

After sharing the fries, the county magistrate arrived.

Qiao Yu asked Bai Lan to fry the dish reserved for them, and Gu Feng personally carried it to the lobby with Qiao Yu.

There were already several tables occupied in the lobby. At the main table were Qiao Yu's family, the county magistrate's family, and Xu Yuan and his wife. Wang Xuan, Kang Ping, and Li Xinwen's brother sat together, and the rest of the people sat at two tables.

The village chief and Aunt Shi did not come. They said that it was good enough to have potatoes and they would not come to join in the fun.

Qiao Yu knew that they were afraid of the officials' presence and felt uncomfortable.

There were also two tables of guests who stayed for dinner after learning about the new dishes at noon. Qiao Yu gave each of them a plate of salt-baked potatoes.

Li Xin was ravenous when he saw the French fries in the kitchen just now, so when Qiao Yu said that he could take the fries out and eat them first, he quickly brought a plate to their table.

Wang Xuan and Kang Ping took a bite and were conquered by the crispy texture. They couldn't help but look forward to the dishes that were not served later.

Seeing that the two looked like they had never seen the world, Li Xin told them about the classic French fries dish, ketchup. They were so proud of themselves that they forgot that their character was supposed to be that of a village bumpkin who had never seen the world.

"I've never heard of this ketchup, and I was lucky enough to taste the potatoes because of Boss Qiao. How did you know about it, little brother?" Kang Ping asked curiously.

Li Xin: "...Uh, I also heard it from my brother."

Li Xin quickly tried to make up for it: "He also heard it from that foreigner."

Fortunately, Kangping was just curious and had no other intentions, so he just asked and that was it.

Li Xin was so scared that he ran to the kitchen to help serve the dishes. He must remember not to do ooc again in the future.

Xie Changyu did not come empty-handed this time, he prepared a book for each of the children, and Mrs. Xie gave Qiao Yu and Gu Feng a pair of sachets.

Xie Tianyu didn't look so serious this time. The three children pulled him to sit next to them and shared a plate of French fries with them.

Soon, the table was filled with food, mainly potatoes.

Qiao Yu happily invited everyone to enjoy the food.

Everyone was shocked at how many different ways potatoes can be prepared and how different they taste.

Qiao Yu pointed to a large plate of boiled potatoes in the middle and said, “The foreigners said that potatoes are very important food in their hometowns. Because the weather is bad, other food cannot be grown, but potatoes can be harvested three times a year. They eat potatoes as meals in their hometowns.

Although my family has a good potato harvest today, potatoes are still a rarity for other people in the village. I hope that in three months or six months, potatoes will no longer be a rarity for everyone and every household will be able to eat them, so that no one will go hungry this winter because of a poor harvest.
