I became an old man in my leisure time

Braised potatoes? Boiled potatoes? Haha, how is that possible? ReadМ

Potatoes became a household snack "star" in later generations, not because of these, but... oil.

There's no way to make braised rice, hot pot, etc., but fried hash browns, French fries, and potato chips are extremely simple.

As long as there is enough oil and the heat is controlled, there are no technical difficulties in frying potato food.

Even he, who was very lazy in his previous life, easily made French fries.

Well, it just wastes a little fuel.

A large pot of oil can't be used up two or three times, and the fries produced are enough for one person to eat for two days in a row until they are tired of it.

Fortunately this is in the valley.

He won't be like some of the idiot netizens in his previous life who were chased by his mother and scolded him as a "prodigal son" when he saw a large pot of used oil when he came home, let alone cut his own potato chips.

Everything has spring, summer, autumn, winter and two children. All he has to do is stand aside and say how to do it: "Cut it into strips, not too thin, about the thickness of your little finger."

"The slices should be thin, uh, not too thin."

"Scoop out the starch. What is starch? It's the powdery one that feels greasy on your hands."

"Put it in boiling water and cook until slightly translucent. How long? Potato slices are quick, about ten seconds is enough, and potato chips are about a hundred."

"Take it out, rinse it with cold water and drain it."

"Sister Bai, gently cool them down. Well, that's enough. Sister Bai is mighty."

"A little more oil, lower the heat, put it in the pan, and it will be a little brown. Just try this a few times."

Gu Ke was there to direct, but it was rare for him to speak in detail.

After all, this was one of the few snacks in his previous life that he could eat from start to finish.

Of course, after only doing it twice, I was too lazy to relapse and would never do it myself.

save money? It's better to save effort. If it doesn't work, just don't eat, and you'll save everything.

The hot fried potato chips and French fries came out of the pan quickly. Take them out and pour them into the two bamboo dustpans next to them to drain the oil.

Gu Ke grabbed a small amount of filtered white salt and gently sprinkled it on. He also tossed the potato chips from time to time to ensure that the salt was evenly powdered.

I picked up a piece and looked at it. It was mostly deep-fried and light yellow, with only a few circles of purple lines surrounding the potato slices turning into black for decoration.

After stuffing it into his mouth, a small and crisp click sounded, and he said with satisfaction on his face: "It's almost like this."

He picked up another fries, tasted it, and nodded in affirmation: "Both of them are well done. You are on your way."

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, I couldn’t laugh or cry: That’s it? It's completely incomparable to your previous request.

But the requirements for French fries are so simple. Anyone with some cooking experience can complete them step by step, and the taste is not bad.

Gu Ke waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's split up."

Soon, the girls each had a big bowl of French fries and started eating them without forgetting to comment: "So crispy."

"It smells so good."

"tasty."

"Would it be delicious if added to stir-fry?"

"Try it later."

Before you know it, the potato chips are disappearing quickly.

Potatoes themselves have no taste, but when mixed with fat seasonings, they have a strange effect.

I ate it, but I didn’t seem to finish it completely. I always wanted to take another bite unconsciously.

Finally found out... well, it's gone.

Only salt, ketchup and chili powder are the king seasonings for snacks such as potato chips.

Now, it would be nice to have the original flavor.

The other thing is the aroma of minced garlic or onion, you can find a way to achieve it.

Thinking of this, his mind moved, and he spoke about spring, summer, autumn and winter: "Cut the potatoes into thin strips, or boil them in plain water, peel them and mash them into puree, add garlic and onions, and stir-fry them with oil. Stir-fry shredded potatoes, minced garlic potatoes The mud tastes pretty good.”

"By the way, shredded potatoes and thin batter are also delicious when made into shredded potato pancakes."

He didn't say anything more. There wasn't much seasoning in the valley, so there was no need to serve the whole meal with potatoes.

Otherwise, add some thirteen spices, chili peppers, watercress, cumin, braise, barbecue, and dry pot, and you will never get tired of eating it for the rest of your life.

Bai Suqing looked at Miss Qin: "Except for containing a lot of essence, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it?"

Miss Qin confirmed her judgment: "Yes, and the essence contained in it is only about 20% of Zimai."

Gu Ke heard this and thought for a while: "You mean, it's not easy to get full? Well, this isn't suitable for snacks."

Coming to this reasonable conclusion, both Qin and Bai stared at him speechlessly: Speaking of serious effects, what kind of effects are snacks!

In any case, there is finally a highly universal snack, dish, and food in the valley, and everyone is happy.

It doesn’t matter if the effect is not outstanding. Just eat more of other grains and vegetables that have outstanding effects.

The next day, it was February 15th.

Miss Qin, Bai Suqing, and Mei Lan lurked in the workshop early.

The difference from before was that this time a large door was opened on the inward wall of the workshop, facing the main hall of the Ancestral Mausoleum Hall.

If the strange thing comes out, you can see it at a glance, and if you float along a straight line, you can enter the workshop.

Of course, the rest is Gu Ke's authority to seal his face, and everyone will join in and beat him to death.

He also handed over his "treasure of the mountain" to Qin and Bai respectively.

Miss Qin's Lieyang Zhenjing is extremely powerful against strange objects, so she obtained a nameless little iron hammer.

Bai Suqing's attack power is slightly weaker. With the nameless hatchet, Blood Slayer can also try to chop it.

If the sword and hammer join forces, perhaps they will be blessed by some mysterious power and be able to sweep away all the monsters and monsters.

Then they waited quietly.

Everyone watched the moon rise over the eastern hill, rise to the zenith, and then set in the west. Finally, the sky was white, and the sun shook its round body and poked its head out from the east with joy.

The women who had been squatting in the workshop all night had different expressions, and met Gu Ke in the study.

Everyone needed to be more perceptive to deduce possible problems.

Lan Ju and the other two girls served purple leaf tea and caramel bread to fill everyone's stomachs first.

Miss Qin frowned, and rarely cared about her manners. She drank a small pot of tea, and then looked at Gu Ke: "If there is no ghost crystal, will it affect you?"

Gu Ke's face was still calm.

He was a little glad that he had opened a roadside stall first.

If there are no monsters at the monster spawning point, at most the expected harvest will be reduced, but there is no soul source to be obtained.

He shook his head: "We have everything at the moment, and there is no problem. But if we want to summon or expand the house again, the interval will be much longer."

After all, the soul source harvested from the stall is random. When he was unlucky, he harvested 0 soul source twice in a row. He dare not guarantee what will happen next time.

Miss Qin and Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this.

They were afraid that the ghost crystal was the key to maintaining the existence of these magical buildings and fields, but if it was just the raw materials for expansion and improvement, it was really not a big problem.

The "monster spawning" in the Ancestral Hall is itself a double-edged sword.

If each time is much stronger than the last time, at most after two times, the blood ghost will come out of the Ancestral Hall.

Compared with the gap in strength between the seventh-turn martial master and the sixth-turn martial artist, the strength of the blood ghost and the black ghost is very different, and the lethality is incomparable, and it is extremely difficult to kill.

Even if Miss Qin and Bai Suqing are promoted to martial arts masters, they dare not say that they can definitely deal with it-of course, Gu Ke's authority is great (氵去) is not included in it.

Therefore, there were no monsters on the night of February 15th, and Miss Qin and the others felt mixed.

After hearing what Gu Ke said, they were naturally more happy than worried.

Bai Suqing then spoke: "Will there be two black ghosts or even blood ghosts next month?"

The women were silent.

Gu Ke shook his head: "You have also seen that black ghosts will be imprisoned if they break into these houses. I have never seen blood ghosts, but even if they can enter, they will at least be weakened, and they may not be killed."

After a pause, he said: "Everyone should practice according to the previous steps. Don't be anxious. Time is on our side."

When he said this, he looked at Miss Qin.

Obviously, among all the people here, she is most likely to lose her patience and light up the third round early to be promoted to Wuzong.

Because Wuzong who practices the Lieyang Sutra may really be able to fight with the blood ghost.

Miss Qin rolled her eyes at him without thinking: "I have suppressed my anger a long time ago, so I won't be so impulsive."

Your temper is not only impulsive, but also very stubborn. God knows if it will suddenly explode. Gu Ke nodded: "That's great, great."

Miss Qin didn't bother to pay attention this time, just hummed in her heart: Do you think that in two or three months, I can't consolidate my foundation and successfully advance!

Do you really think that top talent is fake, or these buildings and food are not helpful enough, or that the Sunflower Sutra is incomprehensible?

If her progress in the past two or three months was put in the original Lieyang Sect, I'm afraid that several supreme elders would be shocked.

This is still without considering that she is a girl and is not born to practice the Lieyang Sutra.

Or is it that people who practice martial arts have such a sense of existence in the eyes of "immortals"!

Immediately, Miss Qin thought of the two strange creatures that were "imprisoned" by Gu Ke recently, and they couldn't struggle until they died.

From this point of view, it is indeed a method of the immortals.

It is normal that martial artists who make moves and fight and kill are not in his eyes.

But Gu Ke likes to use martial arts to work, so killing strange creatures and working are equal in his heart?

Thinking about this, Miss Qin was a little depressed again.

How can practicing martial arts and working be the same thing! This is completely contrary to the cognition she has accepted since childhood.

Gu Ke just thought she was still worried about the strange things, but there was not much to worry about, so he invited everyone to eat, and then went to catch up on sleep and practice.

After dinner, he followed and slipped into Bai Suqing's bedroom.

Bai Suqing asked: "Are you really not worried about the strange things?"

Gu Ke shook his head: "There is no use worrying, these houses can indeed shelter everyone, there is no need to create a panic atmosphere."

After a pause, he continued: "But you still have to remind them that if they don't come this month, they may not come next month. At least they have to light up the second round and have some self-protection power."

"That's true." Bai Suqing thought, nodded in agreement: "But Lan Ju's old injury has been fully recovered, the first round will be completed soon, and the second round will be restarted in a few days."

"Xiao Ping'er is born to be suitable for the Sunflower Sutra, and her progress is amazing. The second round should be lit within this month . Xiaoman is a little slower, but it will be almost done before March 15th."

"Spring, summer, autumn and winter are the slowest, and it can be completed in two months at least, or three months at most."

"But if the blood ghost really appears, the second round of warriors will not be of much use."

Gu Ke smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter. But let them busy practicing martial arts and working, so that they don't have too much time to think about random things."

"People are most afraid of being idle, and they have the most problems when they are idle."

"Practicing martial arts can make them feel that they are getting stronger, and working can improve our living conditions and environment."

"When both the inside and the outside are developing towards a better situation, people can be vigorous and upward."

"When Miss Qin is strong enough, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter can leave together. With the second round of strength, they will not be afraid of having no food to eat anywhere."

Bai Suqing raised his eyebrows: "Take out these fairy houses for them to use, and grow food in the fairy fields for them to eat. Are you really willing to let them go like this?"

Gu Ke blinked: "They won't agree with me and accompany me to farm here for a living."

Bai Suqing understood instantly, spat lightly, and waved his sleeves to drive them away: "Bah, go away, who agrees with you."

Gu Ke laughed and walked away tactfully.

The worries and troubles caused by the lack of "regular monster spawning" in the valley gradually subsided under his normal performance.

The system suddenly sent a prompt: "It is detected that the Shennong God Tablet has been officially erected in Xiongjia Village. The villagers have completed the first collective worship and provided 1 unit of soul source."

Gu Ke, who was turning the compost, shook his hand and the wooden fork fell into the compost pit: ? ? ? What the hell?

…

Time goes back to New Year’s Eve, in Xiongjia Village.

The villagers, who had been excited for most of the night, slept in collectively, and even the dogs at home were taking a nap in their kennels.

Last night, people were chattering everywhere in and out of the village.

They just barked for a while at the beginning, and then they were slapped on the head or kicked on the buttocks by their owners.

It was not until dawn that the whole village became quiet, and they could lie down in the doghouse safely.

It was almost noon, and the hardworking villagers woke up one after another, with dark circles under their eyes and constant yawning, and started to cook.

Then every family member hid in the main room of the stove and whispered, with expectations and smiles on their faces, full of desire for this year's harvest.

Of course, there were a few families that seemed to be quiet.

For example, the families of several villagers killed by the ghost-faced sunflower demon, and the families of several seriously injured villagers, among which Xiaoman’s family was naturally one of them.

No matter how good the exotic purple wheat is, it can't change the situation that Old Man Xiong was seriously injured and almost died.

In this mountain village, the family income will undoubtedly be greatly affected if there is one less strong laborer.

However, unlike what outsiders imagine, Xiong Wangshi asked her two sons to take Old Man Xiong home early.

After closing the door and observing that there was no one outside, the family of four showed ecstasy on their faces and whispered to Old Man Xiong's bed.

Of course, they were talking about the agronomy, black evil palm, and mountain-pushing palm that Gu Ke had passed into their minds.

Compared with the two sons, Old Man Xiong and Xiong Wangshi have much more universal survival wisdom.

At that time, they were afraid that the two stupid sons could not help it and were noticed by others that something was wrong, so they hurried home.

After all, everyone in the village knew how filial Xiong Da and Xiong Er were.

Their father was seriously injured and lying on the ground, and the two sons were very happy beside him. It would be disgusting to say that it was because of the exotic purple wheat.
