After I became a general, I went back to my hometown to farm

◎Very popular, come back tomorrow. ◎

Soon a few potatoes were peeled, washed again with clean water, half of them were cut into very thin potato slices, and half of them were cut into potato strips.

Gu Zeyu heated up the oil pan and controlled the low heat. Brother Cheng put the potato chips in first. After frying for a while, when the potato chips turned golden brown, he took them out of the pan and put them in a basin.

Brother Cheng picked up a potato chip and tasted it. It was very crispy and fragrant. Although it had no taste, it had a natural fragrance of potatoes.

Presumably put some seasoning, it will taste better.

Gu Zeyu also tasted it, it was a familiar taste, and then said: "I can add some seasonings later, such as chili powder, five-spice powder, etc., it will be more delicious."

"I'll add the seasoning now." Brother Cheng said and put some seasoning on, then shook the basin to mix well.

Once I ate it again, it really tasted a lot better. Brother Cheng curled up his mouth and asked Gu Zeyu to try it again.

Then I quickly fried the potato chips, put them in another basin, and added seasoning as usual.

Gu Zeyu turned off the fire, walked up to Brother Cheng, looked at two servings of freshly baked fried potatoes, and ate them with his hands. He prefers stripped potatoes, which are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious, almost thing.

what is it then?

He remembered the ketchup that is necessary to eat French fries.

"Brother Cheng, we still have tomatoes in the backyard." Gu Zeyu looked at Brother Cheng and said, his mouth was not idle, eating potato chips, with a look of liking, "I want to make some tomato sauce with tomatoes, It's delicious with potato chips dipped in it, and it has a special flavor."

Brother Cheng naturally agreed, told him to wait a minute, and ran out to pick tomatoes in the backyard.

Soon came back with three tomatoes.

Gu Zeyu said: "There is no need to peel the skin with hot water, just cut it into pieces and boil it in the pot."

Cooked in another pot, it was cooked quickly, and it was still fragrant, with a tomato smell wafting in the air.

Brother Cheng was surprised: "Brother Gu, I never thought that tomato sauce can be delicious, but it's a bit sour."

As he said that, he took the sauce out of the pot, and boiled more than half a bowl.

Gu Zeyu said: "You can also add some sugar to boil, so that it will taste sweet and sour, and it will be delicious."

Brother Cheng nodded, "Then try next time."

Then I couldn't wait to eat it with potato chips dipped in tomato sauce.

Sure enough, the combination of sweet and sour tomato sauce and burnt and crispy potato chips has a very special taste. It is indescribably delicious, and the potato chips are not greasy at all.

People can't help but take one bite after another.

Anyway, brother Cheng is addicted to eating, his eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and he is in a good mood.

Gu Zeyu is reminiscing about this delicacy. Although he used it as a snack or junk food in his previous life, he hasn't eaten it for a long time, and he still misses it very much.

The two ate half of the bowl without knowing it. Seeing that there was so much less in the bowl, they looked at each other and smiled.

Brother Cheng was eating a potato stick, and when it came to business, "Brother Gu, if you just sell this, someone must have bought it, but we need to prepare some tools. These potato chips and potato sticks must be freshly baked. Eat it, it feels that it will not be crispy when it is slightly cold."

Of course Gu Zeyu thought about it.

So he said: "Let's try to sell it in the town market now. There are many people there. For tools, we need a stove, or not. You can put an iron pot and heat it up.”

Brother Cheng also suggested, "It's impossible for us to peel the skin, slice it and cut it into pieces, and we have to cut it at home. We happen to have a big pot at home. When the time comes, we can prepare a pot at home and bring it over and fry it."

"It's fine to wrap it in oiled paper when selling it. You can sell it for three pennies in a pack. You can also make different flavors, spicy and not spicy, or you can boil some tomato sauce and take it with you. It will definitely taste better when you add some."

Gu Zeyu nodded with a smile. Brother Cheng had already thought about it, and he was still relaxed, so he said, "Let's do it like this."

Then the two of them went to the town to buy some oil paper and an iron pan, because there were no stoves for sale, so these things were very popular in winter.

So I moved a few neat stones near my home for backup.

-

In the evening, the potatoes were peeled and sliced ​​into cubes.

Soak them in water again.

Wait until tomorrow morning to go out and sell.

As soon as the next day dawned, the two of them packed their things at home and prepared to go out.

Busy washing, feeding the livestock, and loading everything into the carriage.

Brother Cheng made some tomato sauce in the kitchen. The smell wafted far away early in the morning. The sweet and sour taste was very good for dinner. He simply ate some potato cakes in the morning, and then drank some millet porridge.

After taking everything, the couple set off.

Both of them have confidence in Tudou, and they are not here to make money, but just to try and promote Tudou.

Gu Zeyu's idea is that once the potatoes become famous, they can try to sell them to restaurants and restaurants and ask them to cook them, so that people nearby will know that potatoes are delicious and cheap to eat.

Then he was able to sell potatoes to the town, and every family could eat them.

-

When he arrived in the town, Gu Zeyu went to the entrance of the market to register, and brought a small sign over.

It is to buy the right to use this booth for one day.

In fact, Gu Zeyu felt that if he sold it before noon, he would close the stall and go home, but those who sell this kind of food must buy it for a day.

If you just set up a stall to sell some wild fruits and game in the mountains, you can buy them in half a day.

But he didn't bother with this, eight pennies a day was not much for him.

The stall is on the side of the market, there are really too many things to move, but it is easy to move on the side, and you don't have to walk a lot.

After everything was arranged, Gu Zeyu built a simple stone stove, lit it, and heated up the oil.

The people in the nearby stalls and the pedestrians who came to visit looked at the couple curiously.

If you cook a pot, you are selling food, but you really can't see what it is selling?They are also native people, and they have never seen anything in the neighborhood.

But I saw that the little brother was taking out a yellow thing in the basin for later use.

The man heated the oil.

Everyone was surprised and asked, "What are you cooking for food? You still need oil."

Oil is very scarce and expensive in this era. Most people eat lard, but pork is also expensive.

Gu Zeyu explained with a smile, "We are going to make potato chips, so we need oil."

An aunt took her little grandson by the hand and asked, "What are potatoes? Why haven't I heard of them? Can I eat them?"

Brother Cheng pointed to a large pot of potatoes and said, "This is a potato. It is a vegetable that can be fried and eaten. It is delicious." He brought out some potatoes and showed her, "This is an unpeeled potato."

The aunt understood and didn't leave, so she led her grandson to see what they did.

Brother Cheng smiled and urged Gu Zeyu, "Brother Gu, the oil is hot, let's fry it first, let everyone try it."

Gu Zeyu nodded, holding a colander with his strong arm, put the potato slices into the pot, with a sizzling sound, the potato slices rolled in the oil, and soon they were covered with a burnt yellow color.

Soon a pot of potato chips came out of the pot.

Put it in a basin, Cheng Geer adds the seasoning, and then puts out a small bowl of tomato sauce.

Brother Cheng first invited the aunt who had been standing by the side to eat, he smiled softly and was very friendly, "Auntie, it's the first time we set up a stall today, and we invite people to try it for free, I wonder if you would like to try it. "

The aunt had already asked about the aroma, and she felt delicious when she saw the potato chips coming out of the oil pan. After all, she didn't care if she ate so much oil and water, but her little grandson had long stretched her neck to see it. .

Staring at the potatoes without blinking, and swallowing her saliva, she has already pulled at the hem of her clothes and said, "I want to eat."

So she said: "Thank you very much, my little grandson likes it very much, let him eat it."

As he spoke, he took a potato chip and gave it to his grandson.

The little man squinted his eyes from eating, and with his small mouth, he ate up a piece of potato in two or three bites.

He also licked his fingers and said, "It's delicious, crunchy and fragrant, grandma, I want more."

The aunt also tasted it herself, thinking that if it was really delicious, she would buy a portion and try it out. My grandson hasn't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time, so he must be satisfied.

After she ate it, she made up her mind to ask for one, "Shopkeeper, how much does this one cost, give me one."

Brother Cheng thought about this first business, so he came here, and said with a smile on his face: "One piece of Sanwen, the size is as much as this bowl." He pointed to a medium-sized bowl and said.

The aunt saw it and thought it was okay, so she paid for Brother Cheng.

Brother Cheng said, "Today is our first sale. The first ten customers buy one and get one free."

Then I packed two sets and handed them over. The hot potato chips just out of the pan were very attractive. After selling the first set, people had already surrounded the booth, just watching the excitement.

Someone sighed, "It's too expensive for just such a small bowl."

Someone retorted, "It's fried in oil. My stomach hasn't been soaked in oil for a long time. If it's delicious, I'm going to buy a copy and try it."

Brother Cheng invited everyone present to taste it. This kind of generous performance is still very recognized by people.

With his gentle attitude and smile, the big guys all tasted the potato chips, and then several people wanted to buy them.

Brother Cheng happily filled the potato chips, then elbowed Gu Zeyu, and said in a low voice, "Someone bought it, Brother Gu, fry another pot of potatoes."

Gu Zeyu is not good at words, he really can't say anything on this occasion, so he listened to brother Cheng's instructions and became a potato chip maker himself. The pot was a bit burnt just now, and he was trying to fry it better. Yellow is fine.

He nodded and said, "Okay."

Someone asked the man who wanted to buy it, "Brother, it was still expensive just now, why did you buy it?"

The man said, "Didn't you listen to what the store's husband said, the first ten people who bought it, buy one and get one free, it's such a bargain, you have to hurry up."

He said: "Give me one, don't you give me another one? Then one is spicy and the other is not spicy."

Brother Cheng thought of tomatoes again, so he asked, "Do you want ketchup? If you want, you can add it to potato chips."

The man nodded: "Yes." Although he has never eaten ketchup, of course he must add anything that can be added.

With a good start, people on this street soon smelled the smell of potato chips. When they came to their booth, they saw that it was very popular. Several people bought it to try it out. People have a herd mentality. After tasting it, they feel that Yes, I bought a copy for my job.

After all, it was only three pennies, and a bowl of tea cost one penny.

So soon, a pot of potatoes was sold out.

One of the most frequently asked questions is potatoes.

Then came the sweet and sour ketchup, which Gu Zeyu and his wife did not expect.

When closing the booth, some people asked if they would come tomorrow.

Gu Zeyu nodded.

The author says:

I didn't complete the task, because I saw a good novel and couldn't help but read it, and tomorrow will be tense.
