Seeing that the potatoes tasted pretty good as a dish, Li Hehua immediately cut a plate of each of the three types of sweet potatoes and stir-fried them into three plates of sweet potato shreds.
She did exactly what Jiang Yue told her to do.
Jiang Yue let Li Hehua fiddle with the pot by the side of the table. This was something edible, so it could naturally be made as a dish.
Seeing that it didn’t matter if she was by the stove or not, Jiang Yue went to the stove in the yard and started a fire. She then put some chopped wood in it.
There was a clean pot on top of the stove. Jiang Yue asked Xue Yan to help her pour some water into the pot when she saw him coming over. Xue Yan then scooped some water and poured it in.
Jiang Yue went to get a steamer and placed it on it when she saw that the water in the pot was hot enough. Then, she put a few sweet potatoes of each kind in the steamer. They were all cut because they were not easy to cook if they were too big.
She even placed two potatoes in the pot to steam. Then, she closed the cover.
Compared to steamed sweet potatoes, Jiang Yue would rather eat roasted sweet potatoes. Roasted sweet potatoes were especially fragrant and sweet. Therefore, she placed as many sweet potatoes as she could on the side of the stove where the stove and the pot were in contact.
There was a big fire in the stove and it was very hot, so it was just right to roast the sweet potatoes.
Xue Yan went to get a small bench for Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue took it and sat in front of the stove, holding a pair of fire pincers and stuffing some firewood into the stove from time to time.
Seeing that he had nothing to do, Xue Yan went back to his room to draw something for his brother.
He had already drawn a few templates for his brother and bound it with thread. His brother liked it a lot and usually kept it like it was a treasure. When he had nothing to do, he would take it out to look at it and do something based on the drawings. When he encountered something he was unclear about, he would ask Xue Yan for more detail.
Xue Yan was naturally happy that Yifu liked it so much.
Xue Dafu was helping out at the new house today, but he was back for lunch instead of eating with the other workers.
When he got home, he smelled the aroma of stewed chicken with potatoes and swallowed his saliva.
Liu Guixia, Xue Erfu, and Xue Sifu had gone to town again, so they weren’t home. Now that Xue Dafu was back, everyone could have lunch.
Only then did Li Hehua take out the chicken and potato from the pot and give some to her grandfather, Xue Da, a big bowl, and asked Xue Yifu to send it over.
He had intended to send some steamed and roasted sweet potatoes, but they were not done yet. It would take a while, so he gave up.
There was a fire in the stove, so there was no need to take care of it all the time. Therefore, Jiang Yue went to the cooking shed to eat. Li Hehua gave her a lot of potato and chicken pieces, filling her small bowl to the brim, and then placed her on her seat.
“This smells so good.” Xue Dafu and Xue Yifu both took big bites, feeling that the stewed chicken with potatoes was exceptionally fragrant. The sour and spicy potato strips were also quite appetizing.
The sweet potato strips were alright, but they still preferred to use potatoes for cooking.
When the sweet potatoes and potatoes were done steaming, they were also served on the table.
Xue Dafu, Xue Yifu, Li Hehua, and Yu Hongyan all agreed that between the potatoes and the red, white, and purple sweet potatoes, the potatoes were the best for cooking, and the red and white purple sweet potatoes were the best for steaming. The only difference was that the purple sweet potatoes didn’t taste as good as the rest.
Xue Dafu even said, “If we can still plant this next year, we won’t plant the purple ones anymore. We’ll plant more red and white ones. Especially the red ones.”
Jiang Yue wanted to say that although the purple sweet potato tasted bad, it had high nutritional value….
