186 It’s Master Chu Who Forced Little Peach to Accept It

There were many people at home that day, and there were many children playing in the courtyard. Bai Wutong asked them to cut more potatoes while she prepared the seasonings herself.

The frying pan and oven both could be used to make spiral potatoes.

The one fried in the pan was more crispy, so Bai Wutong planned to fry it in the frying pan.

She was using the soybean oil from the previous year. When the peanuts were harvested in the fall, she would be able to produce fresh peanut oil from the peanuts.

At that time, everyone would realize that the peanuts in the ground had also mutated.

After the seasoning was prepared, the potatoes on the other side were all cut.

As the oil heated up, Bai Wutong held a bamboo skewer and placed the potatoes into the oil.

The thin spiral potato was fried for about three minutes. The thicker spiral potato was fried for five to six minutes.

In a moment, the charred fragrance of potatoes came from the pan.

After every potato was fried until it was crispy, Bai Wutong fished out the fried spiral potatoes to strain the oil.

No one had ever eaten such a unique potato before. They watched curiously.

Cui Lingyi smiled and said, “The spiral potato is like a whirlwind. Little Phoenix, the name of the dish is really apt.”

Bai Wutong glanced at her and curled her lips. It was not the time to complain that the name of the dish was old-fashioned.

The little tomatoes in the courtyard grew nicely. Bai Wutong picked a lot of them and boiled them in a big jar.

That day, they could eat two flavors of spiral potatoes, one that was salt and pepper, and the other tomato flavored.

When the oil was strained, Bai Wutong handed them the fried spiral potatoes. “There are two seasonings here. You can add the seasonings according to your preference.”

Cui Lingyi pointed at the red ketchup and asked, “What is this?”

Bai Wutong smiled. “This is ketchup made from tomatoes. It’s sweet and sour. It goes well with spiral potatoes.”

“What about this?”

“This is salt and pepper flavored. If you like to eat it spicy, there’s chili powder beside it.”

Many people in the modern world thought that spiral potatoes with ketchup was an invincible combination.

Lin Yue did not like sweet food, and it did not sound good with sweet and sour ketchup and potatoes. He subconsciously said, “Then I’ll eat the salt-flavored spiral potato.”

Bai Wutong nodded and gestured for them to take their own seasoning powder.

Chu Tianbao leaned in front of her. “Wife, I want to try both flavors. Can you give me another skewer?”

Bai Wutong pointed at the frying pan. “Wait a little longer. It’ll be ready soon.”

Since his wife had agreed, Chu Tianbao was immediately overjoyed. He took the lead and scooped a lot of ketchup onto the spiral potatoes.

The fries that she had fried last time were delicious with ketchup. If she hadn’t stopped him, he would have finished the bucket of ketchup alone.

It was finally the day. Chu Tianbao couldn’t wait to stuff it into his mouth.

The potatoes were indeed best matched with ketchup.

Chu Tianbao took big bites of it with a look of enjoyment.

Cui Lingyi had also smeared ketchup on it. After all, everyone already knew what salt and pepper tasted like.

However, she had never eaten ketchup before. Seeing Chu Tianbao eating so happily, she was curious and wanted to try it.

She put it into her mouth in one bite. The crispy potato slices and ketchup released a shockingly delicious taste on her tongue.

Cui Lingyi exclaimed, “The ketchup is delicious! It’s a delicacy with the crispy potatoes!”

A delicacy!

That was too exaggerated!

Those who had no intention of applying ketchup were also tempted to try it out.

Even Qingfeng smeared ketchup over.

Soon, everyone looked full of praise.

Lin Yue looked at the spiral potato that he had already sprinkled with salt and pepper and suddenly regretted it.

While no one was paying attention, he quietly picked up a spoon and smeared some ketchup on it.

He took a bite.

Lin Yue’s eyes widened.

As expected, the taste was incomparable!

The potatoes could actually be so delicious!

He was afraid that everyone would realize that he was not firm in his stance, so he secretly turned around and tasted the other flavor. Like a hamster that was secretly eating something, his bulging cheeks matched with his rough face made him look adorable but ugly.

Qingfeng glanced at him and suddenly met Lin Yue’s vigilant eyes. His eyes darkened.

Seeing the smile in her eyes, Lin Yue was embarrassed and angry. His heart was pounding as he glared at her, not knowing what to do.

What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen a man eat?

Chu Tianbao had smeared too much ketchup that it landed on his mouth. Bai Wutong had just scooped up a pot of fried spiral potatoes and turned her head when she saw his dirty mouth.

She snorted with laughter and took out a handkerchief to wipe him down. “How did you eat it?”

Chu Tianbao chuckled and stared at the spiral potatoes that had just been fried. He gestured with his eyes for her to quickly give him another skewer.

Amused, she handed him a skewer with doting eyes. “Eat this skewer and share the rest with the children.”

Chu Tianbao took the spiral potato and grinned with the ends of his mouth reaching the sky. “Okay.”

...

Chu Tianbao carried the packet filled with spiral potatoes to the courtyard.

A group of children immediately swarmed over.

They looked at the spiral potato eagerly, their eyes filled with the intention to eat it.

Chu Tianbao wanted to give it to them. They clearly wanted to eat it, but they shook their heads in unison.

The little children came to Bai Wutong’s place every day and she often gave them delicious food. When their parents found out, they felt bad and taught them not to take anything from Bai Wutong anymore. If anyone dared to take it, they would be beaten up when they returned.

Chu Tianbao’s expression turned stiff. “Take it!”

Who could withstand his fierce aura?

The little children could only “force themselves” to accept it.

When the tempting spiral potato was brought to their mouths, they only took a bite and could not bear to take another.

Little Peach sneaked home and hid in her room.

When Madam Yang saw her sneaking around, she exchanged glances with her second daughter-in-law and suddenly rushed into the room. She caught Little Peach, who was secretly eating the spiral potato.

...

Little Peach’s face and mouth were covered in ketchup. She trembled in fear and hurriedly hid the spiral potato behind her back, afraid that she would be punished.

Madam Yang’s eyes darkened. “You went to Madam Bai’s house to ask for food again?”

Little Peach shook her head like a rattle. “No, Master Chu forced Little Peach to accept it.”

Madam Yang and her second daughter-in-law looked at each other. “But you can’t accept Madam Bai’s food for nothing.”

Little Peach took out a few copper coins and said seriously, “We gave Madam Bai money, but Madam Bai didn’t want it. She even said that it was only made from potatoes. If we really want to thank her, just give her a potato.”

“I’ll give Granny two copper coins. Can you give me ten potatoes?” She still wanted to exchange the potatoes for more skewers of spiral potatoes.

The delicious food made of potatoes piqued Madam Yang and Little Peach’s mother’s curiosity.

They asked Little Peach to take out the spiral potato and even told her that children would lose their teeth if they did not share their food. In order not to lose their teeth, Little Peach could only obediently take out the spiral potato that she had only taken two bites of.

Seeing such unique food, Madam Yang and Little Peach’s mother were shocked.

Little Peach’s mother praised, “Madam Bai is really amazing. She’d actually thought of using potatoes to make such unique food.”

Little Peach raised her chin and said proudly, “Madam Bai said this is called Spiral Potato because it looks like a whirlwind!”

“It’s especially, especially delicious!”

Little Peach’s eyes lit up. She even used “especially” to emphasize how delicious it was.
