After dinner, Shen's father asked the boss to take out some sweet potatoes and taro to send to Shen's second neighbor next door, while he took some and walked towards the village chief's house.

"Is the village head at home?" Father Shen walked outside the courtyard and shouted.

"Here." The eldest son of the village chief's family was in the yard, and he responded when he heard the voice, "Uncle Shen, you are looking for my father. It's in the house, come in and sit."

"Yes." Father Shen walked towards the house.

"It's New Year's Eve, come in and cook, have you eaten yet?" The village head's family hadn't eaten yet, so he asked.

"I came here after eating, and your family hasn't eaten yet. That's just right. My gentleman found the fresh food on the mountain last night. We all ate it today, so I'll bring you some. Now wash it and steam it. In time." Father Shen expressed his intention.

"Oh? Let me see, what is this?" The village chief took it and asked.

"This is a sweet potato with a yellow flesh inside, and this is a taro with a white flesh inside. There are many ways to eat it. At present, we eat it steamed as a staple food. Juner said that it can be roasted, or you can make other tricks." Shen Father explained to the village head in detail.

"Oh? The ones in the mountains, I've never seen them before, your gentleman is amazing, how does he know these are edible?" the village chief asked.

Father Shen said: "He said he saw it in a book. You also know that he used to go to the study to copy books, so he saw it more often, but he said he didn't remember which book he saw it in."

The village head praised: "Students are still promising. The more you read, the more you understand."

Although Father Shen was happy to hear him praise his son, he said modestly, "It's no younger than your son, he's already a child."

"Your gentleman is not bad, you will pass the scientific examination after the new year, and you will definitely pass this time."

"I hope so"

The two said some polite words again, and Father Shen got up to leave.

Shen Changjun is making his potato chips. Tomorrow is the day for the market. He has to hurry up to make them. Jiang Liu also followed him into the kitchen.

The potato slices have been cut, he took out the potato slices soaked in clear water, drained them, sprinkled some salt, then ground the dried peppercorns and red peppers into powder, poured them into the drained potato slices, and stirred uniform.

Put an appropriate amount of lard in the oil pan, and then wait for the oil temperature to come up, and then start frying. The potato chips are sizzling in the oil pan, and the first batch of fried potato chips has come out. One, blew on it, and fed it to Jiang Liu's mouth. Jiang Liu opened his mouth to grab it, chewed it, it was so crispy, and then nodded: "Yeah".

Shen Changjun smiled happily, and continued to fry, whether he can succeed tomorrow depends on it.

When Shen's father came back, he brought back a cow. Shen Changjun came out of the kitchen, took a bowl of fried potato chips, saw Shen's father and asked, "Father, whose cow is this?"

Father Shen said: "It's from your second uncle's house. If he doesn't go to the market tomorrow, I'll take him here." Knowing that the youngest son will go tomorrow, he went to the old second's house to borrow an ox cart to make it easier for the youngest son to travel. I'm afraid that my youngest son will be tired.

"Father, you came back just in time, how about you come and taste this food?" Shen Changjun handed over the small basin in his hand.

Father Shen picked one up and took a bite. The crispy and spicy food was especially delicious, so he said, "What is this? It's quite delicious."

Shen Changjun smiled and said, "This is spicy potato chips, how about we sell them at the market tomorrow?"

Father Shen was surprised and said: "This is potato chips? I didn't expect it to be eaten like this. If it is sold, how can it be sold?"

Shen Changjun said: "I've made up my mind. I'll take the smallest bowl in our house. A bowl of potato chips costs 2 cents. It can hold five or six pieces."

Father Shen thought for a while and nodded, "It's not expensive to eat something fresh for 2 cents, I think it will do."

So it was such a happy decision, the potato chips were fried a lot, and I just waited for tomorrow.

In addition to selling food, Shen Changjun also wants to make some tools. After all, you can’t peel potatoes with a knife all the time. The knives at home are not enough, so you have to borrow them from everywhere. It’s better to make a peeling knife. I heard that tomorrow will be a big market. There is a chance If so, go shopping and see if there is anything new.
