Chapter 156 All these dishes are needed
There are countless ways to eat potatoes, and Tian Tian has made some very common ones.
The first dish was shredded green peppers and potatoes.
Peel and wash the potatoes and green and red peppers, then cut them into strips.
Soak shredded potatoes in water to remove excess starch.
Heat oil in a pan, sauté garlic until fragrant, then add shredded potatoes and shredded green and red peppers and stir-fry.
Add salt, sugar, and MSG to taste, stir-fry evenly, and serve immediately.
It was clearly a busy dinner time, but Fulai Restaurant set aside a stove for Tian Tian in their kitchen.
The other chefs were distracted and secretly glanced at Tian Tian.
The second dish is dry-fried potato slices.
Peel the potatoes, slice them into even slices, and soak them in water for a while.
Heat oil in a wok, add pork belly slices, and stir-fry over medium-low heat until the fat is rendered. Add a spoonful of fermented bean paste, then add potato slices and fry briefly. Next, add large pieces of green bell pepper and carrot slices, stir-fry until fragrant, and then add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and other seasonings.
then...
Braised pork ribs with potatoes, stir-fried potatoes, green peppers, and eggplant, crispy rice with potatoes, braised chicken...
Potato chips, mashed potatoes, French fries, potato pancakes, potato rolls, pan-fried cumin potatoes...
The diversity of potatoes is not only in their shape, but also in their flavor.
The refreshing taste of shredded green peppers and potatoes, the fiery spiciness of dry-fried potatoes, and the unique aroma of pan-fried cumin potatoes...
Each dish is unique.
The dishes were carried from the ground floor of Fulai Restaurant to the private rooms on the second floor, the aroma wafting along the way...
What kind of dish is this?
"It's Miss Tian Er from Baishi Teahouse trying out new dishes." Someone received the message.
"What dish are you trying? It smells so good!"
"What kind of beans are they from Qianjiazhuang?"
"Beans? This doesn't taste like beans."
"These are beans grown in the soil, so of course they're different from the beans we used to eat."
"Can potatoes grow into beans?"
"real or fake?"
"What do you mean by real or fake? How could the things that Miss Tian Er grows be fake?"
"This morning's high-yield rice yielded 1,200 jin per mu! It's clear that whatever Miss Tian Er does is genuine."
"And those ten threshing machines outside the city... they remove the rice grains from the stalks very quickly."
"This second young lady seems to be thinking differently from the others."
"That's because they're smart."
"Why isn't it my daughter?"
"It doesn't matter if it's not a daughter, don't you have a son?"
My son is only ten years old.
"Hahaha."

Inside the private room, everyone stared at the dishes on the table, unsure of where to begin.
Tian Tian brought over a few other dishes...
Stir-fried pork liver with chives, shredded pork with green peppers, smashed cucumber, wood ear fungus and egg drop soup...
And... sugar-coated tomatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
There was also a basket of washed tomatoes and cucumbers.
"Qian'er." After putting down the vegetables, Tian Tian handed Chu Qian a bright red tomato.
This is the first batch of tomatoes; a large-scale harvest will take another month.
Chu Qian took it and looked at Tian Tian blankly.
"Eat it directly," Tian Tian said.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qian took a bite of the tomato.
The sweet and sour juice bursts in your mouth instantly, bringing a refreshing sweetness, like a gentle breeze in this early summer.
Li Yi, sitting opposite Chu Qian, couldn't help but swallow hard.
But his composure allowed him to quickly avert his gaze...
Seeing this, Tian Tian also handed one to him, and then gave one to Tian Xiang, Qin Youyou, and Tian Jing.
"Everyone, stop staring and let's try the food." Tian Tian sat down and called out, "The food will lose a lot of its flavor if it gets cold."
Especially Qian Fulai, "Brother, you must try it carefully and see which dishes can be added to the menu of Fulai Restaurant."
Qian Fulai suddenly felt immense pressure...
He glanced around and saw a table full of dishes, all of which looked and smelled delicious.
"Lord Li, please." Qian Fulai hadn't forgotten Li Huaiyuan; as the county magistrate, he should start eating first.
Li Huaiyuan picked up his chopsticks and began to taste the food, starting with the one in front of him...
He knew that even the same dish could have different flavors depending on the cooking method and the combination with other ingredients, such as the bean curd skin he had made before.
Therefore, he was ready.
Unexpectedly, each dish, made entirely of potatoes, tasted completely different.
Even the taste is different.
Some are crisp, some are soft and chewy, some are crunchy, and some are sweet...
With each dish he tasted, the surprise in his eyes grew stronger.
Tian Tian placed suitable dishes for children, such as French fries, potato chips, mashed potatoes, and potato pancakes, in front of the children.
Along with the fries and potato chips, she also ate her own homemade tomato sauce.
"Delicious." Chu Qian was young, and he smacked his lips as he ate.
Li Yi and Tian Jinghe were rather reserved, but their expressions clearly showed their affection.
Qin Youyou was by Tian Tian's side, praising every single one she ate.
"Second sister, these fries are delicious."
"Second sister, this tomato sauce is sweet and sour and tastes good too."
It's the same as the tomato she just ate.
Qian Fulai and Ling Yao followed behind Li Huaiyuan, and after he tasted one, they would taste one too.
The surprise in their eyes was similar to that in Li Huaiyuan's.
And Qian Fulai...
After finishing all the potato dishes, I was even more torn between them.
at last...
"Tian Er, we want all these vegetables."
Tian Tian had already anticipated this...
With the potatoes as a starting point, Qian Fulai was even more excited about the other dishes.
Stir-fried pork liver with chives, shredded pork with green peppers, smashed cucumber, wood ear fungus and egg drop soup...
And... sugar-coated tomatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
"I want them all!!!" Qian Fulai put down his chopsticks. "Tian Er, I want all of these dishes."
Li Huaiyuan tasted the stir-fried pork liver with chives, feeling that the ingredients were somewhat familiar, yet not quite...
"Miss Tian Er, what is the yellow vegetable in this dish...?"
Tian Tian glanced at it and said, "It's a new vegetable I cultivated using chives, called yellow chives."
"Chive sprouts..." Li Huaiyuan muttered, "Could it be... yellow chives?"
"That's roughly the idea. Besides leek sprouts, there are also garlic sprouts."
"Yes!" Qian Fulai repeated.
Tian Tian rolled her eyes at him. Now, all he could say was "I want it."
"This sugar-coated tomato is so refreshing," Mrs. Li rarely spoke up. "And this scrambled eggs with tomatoes is sweet and sour, very appetizing."
She also poured the tomato and egg broth over the rice, which made it very appetizing.
"Women will definitely like it."
Li Yi murmured, "Mother, I like to eat it too."
Madam Li chuckled, "Yes, women and children will love it."
Tian Tian nodded gratefully at her and gave Li Yi a thank-you look.
Madam Li is right. In her time, scrambled eggs with tomatoes was a dish loved by everyone.
Moreover, this is especially true in Daqi, where resources are scarce.
