Chapter 26 How Can You Eat French Fries Without Ketchup

"Yam eggs? Is this a kind of medicine?" Ferid asked, holding up the potato in his hand.

"No, Lord Ferid, yam eggs are a very common ingredient in the Fairy Continent." The reception lady shook her head and said.

Ferid was dubious about the reception lady's words: "Is there such an ingredient in the Fairy Continent? Why haven't I eaten it?"

"Of course, yam eggs are widely planted by the commoners of the Fairy Continent, and they are as important crops as our wheat. I have also eaten dishes made with yam eggs, but Mr. Li Hong's French fries are my first. See you once."

As soon as the reception lady finished speaking, a helpless voice appeared behind Li Hong and Ferid: "Sally, don't be ashamed, I have only a half-knowledge, so I'm ashamed to tell others."

"Master Rose! When did you come back!" The reception lady, Sally, couldn't help exclaiming after hearing this voice.

"I just came back from the mission, and I heard that you are here to mislead your son. Okay, okay, you can continue to work! There are so many people waiting behind! Let me tell them the rest!"

Sally blushed pretty, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Both of you, come with me! I'll give you a popular science." Said Rose walked to the side bench and sat down, Li Hong and Ferid quickly followed.

"You two, there are many names for this ingredient in the Fairy Continent. The more official name is actually potatoes, and the yam egg is another name in our hometown. Sally learned it from me.

Potatoes are indeed a more important ingredient in the Fairy Continent, but this kind of ingredient has no aura. Generally, only commoners will eat it. Monks, magicians, and swordsmen will not touch it. [-]% of Liberty City are these three types of people, so potatoes It's rare here, and it's no surprise you haven't seen it. " Rose explained casually.

"Then how did you know about this ingredient, Miss Rose?" Ferid asked.

"Because my great-grandfather was from Fairyland, he fell in love with my great-grandmother during the war, and then moved to Liberty City. My great-grandfather especially liked potatoes, so our family kept the habit of growing potatoes. It can be said that I have been eating potatoes since I was a child." This thing grew up."

After listening to Rose's explanation, Li Hong nodded and said, "So that's the case. Thank you, Miss Rose, for your popular science."

"You're welcome, sir, it's my job too."

"Work?"

"Yes, I am a wood magician, and I am also a staff member of the Magicians Association. My job is to introduce various plants to magicians in need in the association."

Hearing that Rose's work is related to plants, Li Hong's eyes brightened: "One thing doesn't bother the two masters, since that's the case, I have a question, can I ask Miss Rose to help you answer it?"

"Go ahead, sir."

"It's like this. Does Miss Rose know of such a plant? Its flowers are small yellow flowers, and its fruits are green when immature and red when ripe. The mature fruits are about the size of a child's fist."

Rose frowned when she heard this, and took out a crystal ball from the interspatial bag after thinking for a long time. After some operations, a plant appeared in the crystal ball.

"Is this the plant you are talking about?" Rose raised the crystal ball and asked Li Hong.

Li Hong looked over and nodded repeatedly. The plant he asked was tomato.

In Li Hong's view, ketchup is a must when eating French fries, otherwise the taste of French fries will be greatly reduced. Li Hong is very serious about eating this, and this is the first time he has made it for Mi Xia. How can food be imperfect?
"What is Mr. looking for this plant for?" Rose asked calmly.

"Of course I ate it!" Li Hong replied without hesitation.

"Eat? Don't be joking, sir. The fruit of this plant is so brightly colored, and it is absolutely poisonous. How can it be used practically?"

Li Hong was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he remembered that people in this world generally don't know tomatoes, and no one has ever tried to eat them.

Now they are the same as people before the 18th century on earth. Based on common sense, they regard brightly colored tomatoes as poisonous fruits, which are only for viewing and dare not taste.

Thinking of this, Li Hong said: "Miss Rose, this plant is also a kind of food, we call it a tomato.

Tomatoes not only do not have any toxins, but also taste very sweet and can be added to various dishes. "

Rose still didn't quite believe what she said, and Li Hong didn't expect to be able to convince her with a few words. Facts speak louder than words, so Li Hong simply proposed that if there were tomatoes in the City of Liberty, Rose would take him there, and he would prove that the tomatoes were Not poisonous.

Rose hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement. She stood up from the bench and left the Magicians Association directly. Li Hong and Ferid quickly followed.

Originally Ferid wanted to run away, but he had an ominous premonition in his heart when he heard what Li Hong said would prove that the tomatoes were not poisonous, but how could Li Hong let him go and dragged Ferid along.

Following Rose through two teleportation passages, the three of them came to a forest south of Liberty City.

Rose took out the crystal ball and followed the direction of the crystal ball to the right for nearly 10 minutes. Then Li Hong saw a tomato field of about half an acre.

After Li Hong scanned his surroundings with mental power to confirm that there was nothing wrong, he stepped forward and picked a ripe tomato, and handed the freshly picked tomato to Ferid.

Seeing this, Ferid almost cried: "Brother Hong, do you really want me to eat?"

Li Hong rolled his eyes when he heard the words: "Look at your worthless appearance, whoever wants you to eat, I will ask you to hold it for me."

Ferid breathed a sigh of relief and took the fruit from Li Hong's hand.

"Brother Nahong, how do you prove that this fruit is not poisonous?" Ferid asked curiously.

"Of course I used local materials!" After speaking, Li Hong controlled his mental power and condensed it into a giant hand. He grabbed a wild boar twice the size of Ferid from the forest and asked Ferid to take the tomatoes directly. Stuffed into the mouth of a wild boar.

An hour later, the wild boar was still alive and kicking. Seeing the rose, he believed Li Hong's words that tomatoes were not poisonous.

Then Li Hong picked all the ripe tomatoes and put them in the storage ring and returned to the grocery store.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Hong immediately went back to the kitchen and worked all afternoon making some French fries and turning some tomatoes into ketchup.

After putting the finished French fries and ketchup into the storage ring, Li Hong left through the side door of the grocery store to pick up Misha from school.

Same as yesterday, when Li Hong came to Liberty Academy just after school, Misha and Lina walked out of the academy together.

　I ask for collections and recommendations every day, thank you everyone.
