The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 36: Air fryer debuts!
After school in the evening, Li Mu first went to Qian Shuyan to borrow a bicycle.

As for General Zhao, Li Mu asked him and he said that he would follow him from a distance to protect him.

Arriving at the dean's office, Qian Shuyan was very happy to see Li Mu, and waved his hand: "Just take it and use it from now on, no need to ask me."

Having said that, Li Mu can't take it seriously.

After expressing his gratitude, Li Mu rode his bicycle back to the slum at lightning speed.

Mr. Zhong, who was standing at the door, was stretching. When he saw Li Mu's bicycle, he exclaimed, "Wow, Xiao Li is riding a bicycle back today!"

"I borrowed it from the school leader." Li Mu replied with a smile.

Pushed the cart into the yard.

The door of the house was open. Li Mu first walked around the living room but didn't see Li Jun.

Li Mu called out, "Uncle."

"Here, here." Li Jun came out of the house, taking off his gloves while looking at the bicycle:

"Xiao Mu, who borrowed your bicycle?"

Li Mu said: "I borrowed it from our dean."

Li Jun touched the bicycle enviously. This thing was worth more than half a year's salary to him.

"Uncle, how about trying to ride it?" Li Mu said with a smile when he saw this.

Li Jun was obviously tempted, but still had some concerns: "This is not good, after all, it's borrowed, what if it breaks down?"

"Forget it, Xiao Mu, you called me to ask about the air fryer, right? Just wait."

After Li Jun finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the room, carrying out a big black thing.

"This is something I made according to your drawings. The more troublesome part is the micro motor. I asked a seventh-level worker in the factory to make the parts. Xiaomu, can you take a look at it and see if it works?" Li Jun put the air fryer on the table.

Li Mu gave a thumbs up: "Thank you for your hard work, uncle!"

As he spoke, he checked the condition of the air fryer.

Grandma Li, who was resting in the room, heard the noise, got up and came out, saying, "Xiao Mu, you're back so early today. His aunt has cooked!"

As she came out, Grandma Li saw the bicycle in the yard.

This thing is a rare thing!

"Oh, whose bicycle is parked here?" Grandma Li asked in surprise.

Li Mu raised his head and smiled: "I borrowed it from the dean, so I can go home earlier next time."

"Borrowed by the dean? Okay, okay..." Grandma Li smiled from ear to ear.

Li Mu was fiddling with the air fryer.

"How is it? Is there any problem?" Li Jun stood aside, feeling nervous, afraid that he might ruin the things Li Mu gave him.

After checking, Li Mu said, "There is no problem at all. Next, turn on the power and try. If there is no problem, it will be fine."

The overall structure is no different from the drawing, except that it is a bit bigger, twice the size of later generations.

But it’s good enough to have it, and Li Mu doesn’t pursue such exquisiteness.

"Auntie, please help me cut some potato strips. They should be about the same thickness as the pencils Xiaolan uses." Li Mu called out to his aunt who came over curiously.

"Xiao Mu, what's the use of this black thing?" Grandma Li asked curiously.

It was a pitch-black thing that I had never seen before.

Li Mu smiled and said, "You will know when you wait."

Soon, my aunt cut the potato strips and brought them over.

Li Mu first soaked the potato strips in salt water for ten minutes, and then put them into the air fryer.

The heating has three levels. Li Mu didn't dare to adjust it too high and tried the first level first.

Power on, heating.

The big black thing also attracted the attention of the two little guys, Li Lan and Li Yu. They ran over with small steps and asked, "Brother, what is this?"

Li Mu rubbed the two little guys' heads and explained to the curious crowd with a smile: "This is called an air fryer, and it can make delicious food."

"Just eat it like this without adding any water or seasoning?" asked my aunt in amazement.

Although Li Mu had soaked potatoes in salt water before, would they taste good if they were cooked like this? "Will it consume a lot of electricity?" Grandma Li was worried about the electricity consumption.

Li Mu had certainly considered this, and explained with a smile: "No, it won't take much electricity. I've calculated it."

Grandma Li was relieved.

Eight minutes later.

Li Mu closed the opening of the air fryer and reached for the lid under the expectant gaze of his family.

As soon as it was opened, a rich aroma wafted out.

"Wow! It smells so good!"

"Brother, you are awesome!"

The two little girls exclaimed at the same time, staring blankly at the golden and crispy French fries.

Not only them, even Grandma Li couldn't help but sniff. This fragrance was something she had never smelled before.

"Auntie, bring a bowl and let's try it."

It was done in one go, and Li Mu was very happy.

Theory is one thing, implementation is another.

"Okay." Auntie happily went to get the bowl.

The first bite was given to Li Lan and Li Yu first.

"Phew~nice time, nice time."

The French fries had just come out of the pan and were still a little hot. The two little girls gasped while eating them, but they kept stuffing them into their mouths.

“These potato strips come out of this pot and they’re so delicious!”

Li Jun took a bite and was also surprised.

"Of course, anything made by Xiao Mu, how could it be bad?" Grandma Li also ate a piece.

Li Mu took a bite and it only tasted like salt, but it was very delicious.

The key is that there is finally a different taste in my mouth!

Just as everyone was tasting the fries, Auntie Sun from the opposite door smelled the fragrance and came over to ask, "Grandma Li, what delicious food did you make at home that smells so good?"

"It was Xiao Mu who made this pot that can fry potato strips like this. They taste so good. You can try it too." Grandma Li proudly showed off to Aunt Sun.

"That's not a good idea." Aunt Sun refused verbally, but walked in honestly.

After eating one, Auntie Sun's eyes lit up: "These potato strips are so delicious, Grandma Li, how did you make them?"

"It was Xiao Mu who did it!" Grandma Li proudly left Li Mu.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Actually, there's nothing much to do. Just soak the potato strips in salt water for ten minutes and then put them in the pot."

Aunt Sun looked at the air fryer and said in amazement: "What kind of pot is this? How come I have never seen it before?"

"This is called an air fryer..." Li Mu explained.

Aunt Sun was even more surprised after hearing this: "This pot doesn't need oil?"

"No, the air is heated."

There were many neighbors around, and they all gathered around.

When they heard Li Mu say that oil was not needed, they were all shocked.

"Try it, try it." Grandma Li held the plate and asked everyone to taste it with pride.

After eating it, the neighbors were even more surprised.

Especially, it can be made so delicious without adding oil, it’s so practical!
"Xiao Mu, is it expensive to make this pot? Can you make one for my family?" Aunt Sun from the opposite door was the first to speak.

After Aunt Sun spoke up, the neighbors around also started asking questions.

Li Mu looked at Li Jun.

Li Jun smiled and helped Li Mu out, saying, "It's not that expensive, but although this pot doesn't use oil, it does use electricity."
