The two of them divided the tasks. Qin Mei went to get the potatoes while Jie Jingjue went to the kitchen for a cutting board and a knife. Qin Mei picked out a few potatoes and began peeling them by the water basin in the courtyard.
After peeling a potato, Qin Mei sliced it open and carefully cut it into a wavy pattern.
"Can you cut it like this?" Qin Mei asked.
Jie Jingjue raised an eyebrow. He picked up the potato Qin Mei had cut, examined it for a moment, and asked, "Fourth Sister-in-law, is it really necessary to cut it like this?"
"Yes, it's very necessary. This is the essence of wolf fang potatoes," Qin Mei said with mock gravity.
The corner of Jie Jingjue's mouth twitched. Qin Mei demonstrated, and he watched intently. He seemed to have learned the technique, but in his heart, he knew, 'This is going to be difficult!' Under Qin Mei's expectant gaze, Jie Jingjue steeled himself and nodded. "I can do it."
