Chapter 360
While Guo Gang, Meng Meng, and a few neighbors who hadn’t gone to work today were chatting, they all inquired about each other’s harvests and discussed their own situations.
Everyone’s harvest was quite good and they also discussed what to do next. Currently, without sunlight, they couldn’t dry their produce in the sun; they could only try air drying, though they were unsure if it would work. They planned to ask Lu Jianguo later.
But the stone mills they had brought back last time proved useful—they didn’t need electricity and could be operated by hand.
As they were talking, Gu Pan thought about making French fries, "I’ll try frying some fries, see if it works."
Meng Meng’s eyes lit up as she looked at Gu Pan, "Auntie, I’ll help you."
Guo Gang laughed and said, "You’re just craving it; helping your auntie means not causing trouble."
Gu Pan said, "Meng Meng is well-behaved." After saying this, she took Meng Meng to the kitchen.
Gu Pan cut the sweet potatoes into strips, then coated them with flour to fry. These fries had too much water and could splatter everywhere if fried directly.
Soon, a bowl of fries was ready. Gu Pan handed Meng Meng a small packet of ketchup, "Try them with this."
Meng Meng ate one and said, "It’s tasty."
