Chapter 56 (1/2)
As a cook and a chef, Tang Zhen's knife work is higher than most people's level, even if he doesn't reach the skill of simple words.
He quickly washed and peeled the potatoes and put them on the chopping board.
The sharp kitchen knife collided with the chopping board, making a rhythmic ”aggressive” sound. Potato silk as thin as hair piled up on the chopping board along the shiny surface.
The potatoes here are really big. One weighs two or three kilograms, and they are cut out in a pile.
When the ”aggressive” voice stopped, Tang Zhen's voice sounded, ”I've cut it. What's next?”
”Please soak the shredded potatoes with water.”
”OK.”
The mouth should be refreshed, and the movements on the hand are also sharp. But in the mind, Tang really asked, ”why do we need to soak the earth ball? What's in it? ”
In short, ”potatoes have a lot of starch. Soaking in water can bubble out the starch on the surface, prevent oxidation and improve the taste.”
Soaked potato shreds will not stick to the pot, and the taste is crisp. Making hot and sour potato shreds is no more appetizing.
Then she remembered the name of the earth ball, which made her unable to make complaints about it. She could no longer help Qi Dao. ”Who is the name of the earth ball?”
”I don't know. Anyway, when we knew the earth ball, it was called that name.”
”You say the earth balls are poisonous and can't be eaten. Why should the earth balls be stored in the canteen?”
”Not edible does not mean that the earth ball is useless. The earth ball is one of the raw materials for making nutrient solution.”
Luoyang answered, and then gave Jian Yan a detailed description of the whole story of potato poisoning.
Through his explanation, Jian Yan finally figured out why potatoes are one of the raw materials of nutrient solution, but no one eats potatoes in daily life.
Nothing else, just because the Empire has a fault in culture and food culture because of the perennial war.
The literature preserved is limited.
There are also limited ingredients to know the correct way to eat.
