Chapter 80 - Cooking Method for Potato (2/2)

Xu Tian recalled that her classmate’s parents had indeed deep-fried fries and brought jelly and dried spicy strips over to sell. What she was worried about had still happened.

Xu Le also knew that the children were more interested in the food than the taste. The more their parents refused to let them eat, the more they wanted to buy and taste it. Hence, some parents customized their food to suit their preferences to take a lead in the competition.

After selling almost all the oden and chicken feet, Xu Le turned to Lu Yuxi and said, “I remember there’s a fruit and vegetable shop just around the right side of the school gate. Go and buy some items.”

“Sure.” Lu Yuxi went up to him. After hearing his orders, she asked in surprise, “Is this enough?”

“Yes, the charity sale will be over in two hours at most. There’s no time to do anything too complicated.”

“Okay, I’ll go buy it.”

Lu Yuxi quickly made the way across the crowd and left.

Xu Tian’s class monitor was the young host. After introducing everyone, he ran over and said, “Xu Tian, can I go to your house to eat a free meal next time? My mom cooks really bad food…”

“Bai Zijie!”

Behind him was a woman who still carried an air of elegance. When she heard this, she angrily called out to him, “Come here.”

“No!”

Bai Zijie shouted and wanted to hide behind Xu Tian. Xu Le stepped between them and said, “Go to your mother first.”

Xu Tian’s expression was a little dampened. She was still feeling disappointed because they might not win the competition, so she did not notice what the class monitor was shouting.

After Bai Zijie was dragged away by his mother, Xu Le squatted down and said, “Tian Tian, don’t get too close to him in the future.”

“Who?”

“That class monitor.”

“Ah?”

Xu Tian thought for a long time before remembering who it was. “Oh, but why, brother?”

Xu Le thought for a long time. He looked at his sister’s cute face and her blinking large grape-like eyes.

Unable to find a reason, he realized that he just didn’t want his adorable sister to become attached to others, so he frowned. “Nothing.”

Xu Tian was extremely curious and continued to tug at his clothes.

Xu Le couldn’t help but whisper, “Anyway, none of the men are good. You have to stay away from them…”

“Hahahaha.”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a burst of laughter. Lu Yuxi was carrying two shopping bags in her hands. When she came back, she happened to hear Xu Le’s crooked reasoning. “You’re really… You’re ruthless enough to even scold yourself. Boss is awesome.”

Xu Le glared at her. “Shut up.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Lu Yuxi hugged Xu Tian and stepped back. “I’m a very obedient employee. I must listen to Boss and stay away from men.”

Xu Le went to deal with the potatoes that she had bought. Lu Yuxi smiled and talked to Xu Tian for a while before coming over to help.

“Do you really mind that class monitor talking to Xu Tian?”

“Who would mind a normal conversation? Didn’t you see that brat? When he spoke to my Tiantian, his eyes seemed to have been glued on her and he couldn’t move them away.”

Xu Le snorted and quickly finished peeling ten yellow potatoes.

“What are you going to make? Potato chips?”

Xu Le said coldly, “No, I don’t care to mimick others.”

He set up a pot at the side, poured half a pot of oil into it, and started to heat it up. Meanwhile, Xu Le used a wavy knife to cut the potatoes into thick slices. Then, he followed the lines on the surface to cut them into small strips of uniform size and placed them into the water to wash the starch on them.

Lu Yuxi helped to wash the potatoes and asked, “How many times should I wash them?”

“Five times..”
