Chapter 582 - 582: Don’t Eat It
The consorts of the palace did not need to greet the Empress.
The Empress was the Empress, and the consorts were the consorts.
Wives and consorts were not the same.
Originally, she thought that although she didn’t have the seal, she was still in charge of managing the harem. Consort Yi thought that she was different and could enter, but unexpectedly, he still said these words to prevaricate her. This showed that she was not favored by the Emperor at all.
Consort Yi didn’t show it on her face, but the hatred in her heart was even stronger.
Locust Village, by the river.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan squatted in front of the flagstone, washing the freshly dug potatoes, red sweet potatoes, white sweet potatoes, and purple sweet potatoes in the river.
When Jiang Yue and Xue Yan returned home with the washed crops, Li Hehua was sitting under the cooking shed, picking vegetables and preparing for lunch.
Ever since they stopped making ice at home, she had not gone to Dagui’s house to make lunch.
Yu Hongyan had a big belly. She felt uncomfortable sitting, so she stood up and was talking and laughing with Li Hehua.
Seeing Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, they immediately sat around the table and looked at the washed potatoes and sweet potatoes, thinking about how to eat them.
At that time, these were directly cut into small pieces for the chicken to peck and eat, but they were humans. Were they supposed to be eaten raw or cooked?
“It’s so hard. It looks like it can only be eaten after it’s cooked.” Yu Hongyan pondered. “But we can try it raw first,” she said with a smile.
“Shall I have a taste?” After Li Hehua finished speaking, she cut off a small piece of potato and took a small bite. She immediately shook her head and said, “This shouldn’t be eaten raw. It should be cooked. Hongyan, don’t eat it. It doesn’t taste good raw.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went to place their small hoes under the shed where Xue Yifu was doing the woodwork. After a short while, they returned to see their sister-in-law taking a small bite of the potato. The two were slightly startled. They didn’t expect their sister-in-law to be so fast. Fortunately, raw potatoes weren’t poisonous, but they just weren’t very delicious.
They tried the potatoes and didn’t like them. Then, Li Hehua tried the sweet potatoes with hesitation.
It was cut into even smaller pieces.
Purple sweet potatoes didn’t taste good raw. White sweet potatoes tasted good, but they didn’t have much taste. Red sweet potatoes…
“This is sweet! Delicious! You guys should try it too!” Li Hehua then hurriedly peeled off the skin of the red sweet potato that had already been cut into a very small piece. Then, she cut it open and gave each of them a piece.
“Yes, this is sweet.” Yu Hongyan took a bite and immediately said.
Jiang Yue also took a small bite. It was sweet, but she was used to eating cooked food. Obviously, this raw one was edible, but it was not easy to digest.
After taking another small bite, Jiang Yue said to Li Hehua, “Actually, I want to use the potatoes to make two dishes today. I think they should be very delicious.’
Li Hehua immediately acted as usual, afraid of startling Jiang Yue. She asked Jiang Yue in an especially soft voice, “What do you want to cook? You can tell me what to do and I’ll follow your instructions.”
“I want to make hot and sour shredded potatoes, and stewed chicken with potatoes.”
When these two dishes were done, the aroma of the food made Xue Yifu, who was doing wood work under the shed on the other side, swallow his saliva. This was especially so for the potato chicken, which were extremely fragrant.
The chicken with potatoes was fragrant, but it was not fully cooked yet. It was still stewing in the big pot. However, the hot and sour shredded potatoes had already been stir-fried in the small pot. Yu Hongyan tasted it and immediately felt satiated.
Li Hehua also tried it and thought it was delicious. At the same time, she also decided that all the potatoes should be cooked rather than eaten raw. It really didn’t taste good raw..
