Chapter 459 Fotan (Second Update)

In Taiping Town, which is full of the flavor of the New Year, Sun Lien looked at the shop owners who had already started to close their stalls, and finally felt that "now is the Chinese New Year".

Taiping Town itself is not too big, but because the national highway passes through the town, the traffic is quite convenient.In Taiping Town, apart from the original agriculture and the booming light industry, the most impressive thing is the various snacks and delicacies with local characteristics.And Taiping Town does have its own unique advantages in this regard—the locally produced purple-skinned potatoes are a well-known specialty in ten miles and eight towns.Potatoes are small in size, but they taste surprisingly good.In addition to the obvious and huge changes in taste with cooking time, the rich starch content and somewhat sweet taste make this less common potato sought after by many connoisseurs.

As for the locals in Taiping Town, the best way to eat purple-skinned potatoes is to make potato chips or deep-fry them.But the approach is different from other places.Here, both the potato gratin and potato chips have to be thick.The potatoes fried in this way are crispy and delicious on the outside, making a squishy sound when bitten down, but soft and fluffy on the inside, even with a bit of sweetness.The taste is simply addictive.

Penny wasn't too interested in plain fried potatoes, though—she'd still like poutine with poutine.For the little ones, the sweet and sour pate and cheese is not as appealing as the crispy fries.

Today is New Year's Eve, and it's time to close the stall again.The shopkeepers selling purple-skinned potatoes in front of their houses in the town were much more talkative than usual.In addition, the little girl Petunia is indeed attractive, and she is also a foreign friend who comes to China to experience the New Year atmosphere.The shop owners discussed with each other and decided to get together to have fun.One provided the induction cooker and kitchen utensils, while the other provided the raw materials for French fries.Dr. Brunn brought a lot of cheese himself, and Elizabeth cooked the pate herself.

If there is no ketchup, serve fresh tomatoes with sugar and salt.There is no oven, and the fellow who sells baked potatoes directly lent his own oven.Everyone was very curious about the taste of the bolognese fries that this little girl couldn't forget.At the same time, I also have the intention of watching the excitement.A group of adults are busy around the stove, and there is such a beautiful little girl pouting at the table waiting for food. It really feels like Chinese New Year.

Sun Li'en, Dr. Pascal and Brunn strolled aside.Because they were worried that Elizabeth would not be able to communicate well with the others—especially since Little Todd’s Chinese level had not been fully tested—they really didn’t dare to go far.But it's fun to wander around.

Dr. Pascale has been to China many times before, but at that time he came to China for the free medical consultation and academic exchange activities of Doctors Without Borders.There is no time or opportunity to visit such stalls with a strong festive atmosphere.As for Bruen...he hadn't even seen it.The two foreigners looked at the red lanterns, couplets and window grilles hanging everywhere as if they were looking at aliens, and expressed their sincere admiration for the Chinese knot together.The content of the admiration of the two people is like this, "Maybe this method of knotting can be used in surgery?"

After walking slowly and tasting candied haws and stinky tofu, the two foreigners who had never seen the world followed Sun Lien back to the market.Petunia was grabbing French fries and stuffing them into her mouth, the red ketchup rubbed her face.And several other bosses who were eager to provide materials were surrounding Elizabeth and Little Todd, and carefully recording the practice of the meat sauce.

"I've never eaten this kind of recipe before." Several store owners said with a smile, "It's just that it feels a little greasy in the mouth at first, but everything else is pretty good."

Dr. Bruen picked up the French fries from the side and took a bite, then twitched his fingers, "The taste is quite good, but it lacks a little impact..." He looked at the store owners with serious faces on the side, "It's sour. Chili?"

Dr. Pascal directly picked up a bottle of Chili Peppers from the table beside him, unscrewed the lid, and handed it to Brunn, "There are no jalapeños, but you can try this."

The Texans were undoubtedly pissed off.This act of pitting each other drew a burst of laughter from the surrounding townspeople.

"Okay, let's go." Sun Li'en waved his hand at several people, and by the way, threw the ten catties of purple-skinned potatoes he bought just now into the trunk. "We'd better get to Changning before dark..." Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamation from the scene.

Among the villagers watching, there was a young woman with a child.She was originally riding an electric car today to buy some freshly killed pork and was going home to cook New Year's Eve dinner.

The small commotion caused by Dr. Pascal's family diverted her attention.But the crowd was a bit dense, so she parked the electric car next to a baked potato stand, and went over curiously to watch the excitement.

In fact, she didn't go far, about two meters away.Her child was placed in an "electric car child seat" purchased online.The seat actually looks a bit like a swing that can swing very high in the playground.The child's lower body can just fit into the seat and sit, and then the upper body can be fixed with the nylon quick release buckle.This looks very strong and reliable, and most importantly, children will not feel particularly uncomfortable.

And this child safety seat is designed to be placed between the driver and the operating handle.Children can also look at the scenery outside, and put their hands on the handle of the electric vehicle.At least it looks comfortable.

But when the young woman got out of the car to watch the fun, she forgot to remove the key from the battery car.

The child became anxious when he saw his mother walk away.But he is less than one year old and he is not very good at talking, "Ah, ah!" After a few times, he waved his little hand anxiously, and kicked twice with his legs hanging in the air.The little hand directly grabbed the right handle of the battery car, and as he lowered his arm, the acceleration function of the battery car was activated.

The out-of-control battery car screamed and drew a circle in place before crashing headlong into the stove for baking potatoes.The large iron bucket used to bake potatoes suddenly collapsed.And the battery car, which lost its balance because the front wheel was stuck by the stove, was driven by the rear wheel and swung again, and the hot purple potatoes in the stove, together with the burning coal, were scattered all over the face.Many townspeople who were joining in the fun were taken aback.The whole crowd suddenly rioted.

And Sun Li'en saw with his own eyes that a piece of charcoal covered with grayish white fell into the collar of the back of the neck of the little boy who was locked on the battery car.
