Chen Shu put the raw Shredded Potatoes coated in pancake batter into a frying pan. Without turning on the heat, he used the round base of the pan to shape them into a disk, pressed them flat, then lifted them out. Once the oil was hot, he put them back in and fried one side until golden.
A flick of the pan flipped it over.
Thanks to the pancake batter, the Shredded Potatoes pancake had turned crisp. As it flipped, it scraped against the pan with a sizzling hiss.
The sound alone was tempting.
Soon both sides were golden.
Each time Chen Shu flicked the pan, the pancake hissed as it slid across the bottom and landed with a crisp rattle.
Its color and aroma grew more tempting by the moment.
A sprinkle of scallions and chili powder, and it was ready to serve.
Chen Shu turned with the plate and told the little girl peeking from the kitchen doorway, "Your crispy Shredded Potatoes pancake is ready first. I doubt anyone but you likes this stuff, so take it as a snack."
"!"
The little girl happily carried the plate away.
Chen Shu called after her, "Don't eat it all! There's more food coming, and you won't have room."
"Okay!"
Chen Shu looked away.
He glanced at Qingqing beside him.
There was nothing left she could help with, but she still stood in the kitchen watching him cook. To be honest, she was a little in the way... Chen Shu suspected she was secretly learning his cooking tricks. Bah, shameless.
First came Granny's Potatoes.
They wouldn't cool easily.
Then he made the spicy Crayfish and Jiang-fried duck Chen Banxia had ordered. People in the Jade Capital didn't care for Crayfish, and Chen Shu had barely managed to buy any.
