Chapter 217 I hope they don’t want anything from me!
Ye Suiwan took out the potatoes from the basket and washed them. The two of them peeled them with soda bottle caps and rinsed them again before moving them to the chopping board.
"The slices should be about this thin, but they can be thicker too."
"If you cut it into pieces, it should be about this size. As for the length, it depends on the potato itself."
Ye Suiwan demonstrated each one separately.
"Sister Ye, I understand. Let me do it!"
Li Qing took the knife from Ye Suiwan's hand and started.
Ye Suiwan stood beside her and took a look, and seeing that everything was fine, he went on to do other things.
The first is shrimp slips.
There were some fresh prawns delivered, and she processed them, took out the shrimp meat, and made it into shrimp noodles for later use.
Then take the glutinous rice flour, roll it into small balls, cook them, and then boil some brown sugar water and add it to the small balls. This is the simplest brown sugar balls.
After Ye Suiwan finished his work, Li Qing also finished processing all the potatoes.
"Sister Ye, I've cut it!"
Li Qing said proudly.
"Okay, let's do it!"
"Add a little salt to the potato slices, mix well and let them drain and soften. Then put the shrimp in the bowl in the middle and secure it with this small wooden stick. Once everything is done, you can fry it!"
Ye Suiwan demonstrated as he spoke.
"Let me try it too!"
Li Qing picked up the potato chips and made one.
"great!"
Ye Suiwan praised.
"Then I'll leave the rest to you? I'll go prepare some French fries?"
Seeing that she moved quickly, Ye Suiwan simply gave it all to her.
"well!"
Li Qing responded with a full mouth.
I thought to myself, Sister Ye is so amazing!
She can cook such ordinary ingredients in various ways, and I want to taste them even more after they are cooked.
Ye Suiwan washed the cut potato strips in water several times to remove the excess starch, then put them in a pot with cold water, added a spoonful of salt, boiled them for 5 minutes, then took them out and let them cool.
Then she added some cornstarch to coat the fries.
At this time, Li Qing had also prepared the potato chips and shrimp noodles.
"Let's start frying French fries. Fry these first, then yours!"
"Yeah, okay!"
Ye Sui Wan poured oil into the pot, turned off the heat when it was 60% hot, put the French fries in from the edge of the pot, did not stir, turned on medium-low heat and fry until they were shaped, then turned them over. After about 10 minutes, take them out and repeat this action to fry the rest.
The final crucial step is re-explosion.
For re-frying, use medium heat. When the oil temperature rises to the point where smoke appears, pour in the French fries that were fried the first time. Fry for about a minute before serving.
Sprinkle a layer of fine salt on the surface and it's done.
There are no tomatoes this season, so the sauce is gone. I can't take it out if I have space, but it's delicious enough like this.
The last potato slice and shrimp ball is even simpler. Use the frying pan to scoop out the excess oil, leaving a layer of oil at the bottom, and put it directly in. After the potato slices are fried until golden brown, pour in a small amount of water, cover and simmer for two minutes. After the shrimp balls are cooked, the water and oil will be dry at this time, so you can serve them and eat them.
The moment three servings of afternoon tea were served on the table, Li Qing was stunned!
"Sister Ye, did we do this?"
“This is so delicious, I’ve never tasted it before!”
"No, I haven't seen it either!"
Li Qing's eyes lit up and her saliva was about to flow down.
"Eat it, just do it!"
Ye Suiwan picked up a French fry and put it into his mouth.
Very good! Crispy on the outside and soft potatoes on the inside.
"Delicious, delicious, I can't say anything else except delicious!"
"Sister Ye, you are so amazing!"
Li Qing put one after another into her mouth and couldn't stop.
"Yeah, then come to me often when you have time, and we'll study food together."
Ye Suiwan smiled.
"Okay, okay!"
"Then I'm welcome!"
Li Qing nodded repeatedly in response.
"Sister Ye, you are only one or two years older than me, right? Your baby was born in the spring?"
"Let my mother deliver your baby then. She's amazing!"
Then she looked at Ye Suiwan's belly and said.
"Auntie is a gynecologist?"
"I really don't know."
"Well, but she wasn't in our hospital for some time. She was transferred here recently, so you didn't see her much!"
Li Qing replied.
"That's fine, but it depends on whether my aunt is free at that time!"
"You don't have a partner now!"
Ye Suiwan thought it would be better to ask directly.
Li Qing is not a shy person.
"Me? I haven't. I just graduated from high school and I don't know what to do next!"
"There was no college for me. My dad wanted my brother and I to either join the army or go to the countryside as educated youth."
"Another thing is to find a job. I haven't considered this, mainly because there are not many jobs in this corps now! If it was in my father's original military region, would it be possible?"
Li Qing said while eating.
She felt that there was nothing she couldn't tell Ye Suiwan.
"I talked about you with Grandma Li yesterday. She said that you went to the educated youth camp recently to see how the educated youth live?"
"Ah, you told grandma about me, but my grandma didn't say anything bad about me to you, did she?"
Li Qing immediately became nervous!
She has to establish a good image in front of Sister Ye!
Ye Suiwan laughed out loud.
If she still had the same worries as Grandma Li before, now they are completely gone!
This girl doesn't have that idea.
"No, Grandma Li has been praising you."
Ye Suiwan smiled.
"That's good. I went to the educated youth center because there was a educated youth there who had a book I liked to read, so I went there several times."
"Ah, grandma doesn't pay extra attention to me just because I'm a male educated youth, does she?"
Li Qing is not stupid, she has thought this through clearly.
"I don't like him and I'm not interested in him. I'm just interested in that book. Sister Ye, believe me!"
Li Qing quickly explained.
"Well, I believe you, but how do you know he has the book there?"
Ye Suiwan thinks this point is very important.
"A few days before I came back, I was strolling around and helped a female educated youth named Ding Le with a small favor. Then we started chatting and she told me who had the book and took the initiative to introduce it to me."
"It seems that Ding Le and that male educated youth are talking about a partner?"
"I'm not sure, but I wasn't alone with that young man, and I don't even know his name!"
Li Qing frowned.
"Sister Ye, they don't want anything from me, do they?"
"I don't have any money. My dad is a political commissar and my mom is a doctor. I don't have much to show for it. Besides, what does my dad and mom have to do with me?"
Li Qing gradually figured it out as she spoke. Now thinking about it, she felt like she was being tricked!
Although there is nothing abnormal about the two people now.
Of course, it could be that she was overthinking it.
Huh? Why are people so complicated?
Can't she just stop reading? She is determined not to go to the educated youth camp!
