The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Preparing

Fu Yunhe couldn’t quite grasp what Nian Shutong meant, but he always felt there was a deeper meaning in her words.

Nian Shutong didn’t explain, but instead took out a few potatoes.

“Today, we’re going to make fries,” Nian Shutong said, looking up at Fu Yunhe. “You do it, and afterwards, we’ll sell these fries during the live stream.”

Fries?

Fu Yunhe had absolutely no idea what fries were, but given his current role, obedience was definitely his top trait.

“Okay, what do I need to do?” Fu Yunhe cooperated, prompting Nian Shutong to instruct him unabashedly. @@novelbin@@

“You go on Star Network and buy a bucket of tree oil, and get some… flour.”

When Nian Shutong mentioned flour, her heart ached a bit; she had checked secretly, and flour was incredibly expensive.

Two hundred grams would cost five thousand Star Coins.

Five thousand… that’s outrageously expensive.

As for tree oil, it comes from a type of oil-producing tree with extremely high annual yield, farmed on planets that specifically grow these trees, and the price was actually affordable.

Like those kinds of planets, they all had protective shields on the periphery, so they weren’t afraid of radiation, and therefore, they didn’t produce toxins.

“Okay, do I need anything else?” Fu Yunhe had already opened the Star Network—five hundred Star Coins for a bucket of tree oil was genuinely cheap.

Because the bucket was quite large, about one meter tall and half a meter wide.

Thinking of the video of frying fries that Daodao had shown to her, Nian Shutong added, “Also buy a slotted spoon, the kind with little holes all over the spoon. If there isn’t one, get a good one, and we’ll make the holes ourselves.”

“Okay.” Fu Yunhe nodded, made a few taps, and bought the items.

By this time, Nian Shutong had already washed the potatoes and was peeling them with a Dagger.

After peeling four potatoes, Nian Shutong stopped.

She called over Fu Yunhe and, without looking up, spoke as she worked, “Watch closely, you’ll be doing this later.”

Nian Shutong handed two potatoes to Fu Yunhe and kept two for herself.

“Do it with me.”

“Mm… okay.” Fu Yunhe was constantly feeling the potato in his hands, but it didn’t feel like much.

Probably because they were uncooked.

He dared not lose focus, watching Nian Shutong and following along.

At that moment, Nian Shutong placed the potatoes on a board and began slicing with a knife.

“The slices should be thicker, about as wide as a pinkie, and after that, cut them into strips as thin as a pinkie.”

Dang dang dang, dang dang dang.

For a time, the two of them squatted on the ground, awkwardly slicing the potatoes.

Nian Shutong was skilled with a knife, so after watching Daodao’s video once, she managed to cut quite well.

Fu Yunhe had strong spiritual power, so it really shouldn’t have been difficult, but the trouble was that he was physically weak; Fu Yunhe, after cutting one potato, began to sweat profusely.

Nian Shutong also noticed Fu Yunhe’s condition and sighed as she took another potato and said, “If it weren’t for your face being useful, I would have done it myself.”

Fu Yunhe was just silently panting, but inwardly he retorted: If it weren’t for your face not being camera-friendly, I wouldn’t have to sell mine either.

Nian Shutong efficiently cut four potato strips, ready to move on to the next step.

“Watch carefully. Rinse the potato strips in clean water first, wash off this muddy starch.”

“When the water gets clear, pour it out, replace it with fresh clean water, and let the potatoes soak to make them crispy.”

As she mentioned this, Nian Shutong looked at Fu Yunhe and asked, “Remember all this? Don’t let the live stream viewers ask you questions that you can’t answer.”

Fu Yunhe’s breathing had steadied, and he assured Nian Shutong confidently, “Don’t worry, I’ll remember everything.”

Though he couldn’t keep up physically, his mind was still his own—he was never foolish and wouldn’t do anything stupid.

Little did Fu Yunhe know, he was soon to be proven wrong.
