Chapter 194 Potato Feast

With everyone's support, Luo Nanzhi finally rolled up her sleeves and got to work.

She arranged for several servants to wash and peel the potatoes.

At this moment, Chef Zhang awkwardly walked to Luo Nanzhi's side and asked her if there was anything else he could help her with.

Luo Nanzhi was surprised that he took the initiative to talk to her. She was stunned for a moment, but then she realized what he meant and asked him to help her cut the potatoes into shreds.

Chef Zhang took the initiative to shred the food, and as he was diligently shredding it, Luo Nanzhi suddenly thanked him earnestly.

At that moment, the barrier between them disappeared, and the two put aside their past grievances to prepare for this dinner.

Chef Zhang was highly skilled. Although he didn't know how to cook the potatoes, Luo Nanzhi gave him a few pointers, and he instantly grasped the essentials.

Just stir-fry the potatoes in the pan like any other vegetable.

Under Luo Nanzhi's direction, they also made potato pancakes and mashed potatoes.

The group tasted the food before it was taken out of the pot.

No one expected that ordinary potatoes could make such delicious dishes.

Everyone instantly became full of confidence.

Not only did I make some side dishes with potatoes, but I also made some main dishes with potatoes (I'll omit the dishes I made here; those of you who have eaten potatoes can imagine the potato dishes you've tried).

As night fell, the prefect's mansion was brightly lit.

The prefect invited the guests to sit in the main hall.

Servants filed in, carrying dishes, and soon the dishes were served, the table was full.

The governor was chatting with several distinguished guests when he was instantly drawn in by the aroma emanating from the table.

They looked up at the table, where a variety of exquisite and unique dishes were laid out.

These delicacies were all things I had never seen before, and even the prefect didn't know what they were.

When a guest asked him a question, he couldn't answer it, but the steward next to him did.

"Replying to you gentlemen, this meal is a potato feast, all made from potatoes."

"Ha, I've never heard of potatoes before! I never expected that the Prefect's residence would have such a rare delicacy. Today I must have a good taste of it."

The distinguished guest entertained by the prefect had a fondness for rare and exotic items and loved delicacies that he had never tasted before.

The prefect could only force a smile after hearing his words. To be honest, he had never seen this thing before. If he said it was his first time eating it, wouldn't he lose face? The others would certainly not dare to eat it.

After saying this, the person indeed picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.

The steward and the prefect watched him nervously as he chewed a few times and then swallowed.

"Great! It tastes amazing! I've never seen this before, and it's so delicious! I only regret that I've never tried it before!"

Upon hearing this, the steward and the prefect were immediately relieved, and the distinguished guests nearby couldn't wait to reach out and taste the food.

"I never imagined these dishes were made from the same ingredient; the taste is absolutely amazing!"

Seeing how happily the others were eating, constantly picking at their food, the prefect suppressed his suspicions and also reached out and took a bite.

He ate braised beef with potatoes. The potatoes were stewed so well that they were even more flavorful than the meat.

The group had originally planned to drink, but they didn't have time. Before long, they finished all the dishes on the table.

Luo Nanzhi and the others were still anxiously waiting in the kitchen for the results in the front hall.

While waiting, someone used fire tongs to take the potatoes out of the stove pit.

"Ouch, it's so hot!" The two servants reached out to grab it, but the freshly baked potatoes were too hot, and their hands were burned so badly that they couldn't help but put their fingers on their earlobes.

At this moment, the people in the kitchen were attracted by their noise and turned to look in their direction. They saw several dark objects on the ground next to the stove.

"What is this?" someone asked.

"It's...it's that potato," the two said guiltily.

Actually, they were just too hungry. According to the rules of the manor, the kitchen staff cannot eat until the master has finished his meal.

They used to eat in advance, but today things happened suddenly, and they were busy all afternoon, so they didn't get to eat anything and were starving.

Seeing that there were many potatoes in the basket, and thinking that there were still quite a few left, they took a few.

Without even washing it, it was stuffed into the ashes of burning wood in the stove pit, covered in mud.

Just then, a fire was burning above them, and the potatoes were roasted. Only then did they remember Ai and used tongs to take the potatoes out.

Luo Nanzhi heard the commotion and their explanation, but she didn't say anything and told them to eat the roasted potatoes.

Upon hearing this, the two were deeply grateful to Luo Nanzhi. They picked up the potatoes, blew away the wood ash, peeled them, and a fragrant aroma wafted out. Many people in the kitchen hadn't eaten yet, and seeing them enjoying their food so much, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Someone couldn't help but ask them how it tasted.

"It tastes great! I didn't expect these roasted potatoes to taste so good!"

They had only roasted two potatoes. When they heard their question, they looked up and saw that everyone was exhausted. Some of them had rumbling stomachs. The servant glanced at them and immediately broke the potatoes in half and distributed them to the others. But two potatoes were not enough to feed so many people. Most of them only took a bite and tasted the flavor.

Just as they were still savoring the delicious aroma of the potatoes, there was a commotion at the stove.

They saw Luo Nanzhi peeling potatoes and asked her in confusion what she was doing, since all the dishes had already been served.

Some people came over and asked her if she was going to make new dishes to serve.

Luo Nanzhi shook her head and said, "We won't be making any new dishes in the front hall. I'll cook for you."

"Huh? Isn't this against the rules?" Everyone looked at each other anxiously, feeling a little scared, and their unease could be seen in each other's eyes.

"Don't worry, the front of the house should be almost full by now, and it won't hurt to make just a potato pancake! Don't worry, it'll be ready soon."

Everyone agreed, thinking that it wouldn't make a difference if it took a little longer.

So everyone started helping to peel the potatoes and started the fire again.

Luo Nanzhi mashed the cooked potatoes into a puree, then added chopped vegetables and some seasonings, and kneaded them together.

Heat oil in a pan, and once the oil is hot, put the potato pancakes into the pan to fry.

At this point, Chef Zhang came to help, and they used two large pots in the kitchen to make potato pancakes.

There were about a dozen people in the kitchen. They would fry a pancake and then give it to them to eat.

Before long, everyone in the kitchen had a potato pancake in hand. Fearing they wouldn't have enough, Luo Nanzhi and Chef Zhang fried a few more.

"Stop working so hard, come and eat! There are enough pancakes!" Seeing that the two of them were still busy making pancakes, everyone quickly told them to stop what they were doing and have a pancake to fill their stomachs.

Seeing that they all had pancakes in their hands, Luo Nanzhi called to Chef Zhang to finish what he was doing, then washed her hands and sat down in the kitchen to eat potato pancakes together.
