Traveling through the ages with the hotel, being doted on by four brothers

Chapter 144 The happiest thing

In the grain drying field, the captain and several village cadres were working in the cold wind to count the numbers of various prey. Since the captain had told them before setting off, they should eat the big prey and keep the small prey for him. So this time the pheasants and hares all stayed.

The pheasants and hares were gathered together, sent to hare farms, and left to freeze in the yard. This was reserved for the supply and marketing cooperative.

Then count wild boars, wild goats, deer, badgers, wolves... and other prey. There are no bears this time. It should be that we have not encountered such big guys. We count the numbers and lift the parts handed over to the commune onto the tractor. Put it away, and put the rest on the open space of the grain drying field, and process it slowly.

It's freezing cold now, but the prey won't go bad even if it's placed in a large natural refrigerator.

Jin Pengfei went to bed not long after returning home. He slept until late at night. The house was dark and silent. He could only hear the sound of people washing up outside. It looked like it was snowing outside again.

Jin Pengfei moved the square table to the kang, lit the kerosene lamp, and then looked through the photos they had taken before. He looked at each one seriously and carefully. When taking the photos, he pinched the edges carefully, for fear that they would The people in the photos are stained.

He and Jin Pengyuan lost their father when they were a few years old, and their mother was injured and never recovered. She also passed away early. Although they were unhappy and had a hard life, they now have a group of lovely people. family, this is the happiest thing in life.

The next morning, Xia Chan got up early, because the winter hunting team would deliver prey to the commune the next day after returning, but she didn't expect Jin Pengfei to get up earlier than her.

"Brother Pengfei, have you rested well?" Xia Chan asked.

Jin Pengfei smiled and nodded, "I had a good rest last night and am full of energy now. You should go to the commune today, right? Wash up quickly and have breakfast."

"Okay." Xia Chan quickly picked up the hot water bottle, went to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and applied skin care products on her face. It's too cold now, so she must take good care of her skin.

When Xia Chan sat down to eat the hot rice porridge, Jin Pengfei handed her a piece of food, "You probably won't be back in time at noon. There are a few eggs and some pancakes here. I fried the pancakes specially to make them smaller. , it’s wrapped for you, just put it in your clothes and take it out to eat at noon.”

"Thank you, brother Pengfei." Xia Chan reached out and took a bag of food. In fact, she could spend a few cents to go to a state-owned restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles, but since her brother had already prepared it for her, she naturally couldn't let him Sadly!
After Xia Chanxi had eaten and drank enough, she went out fully equipped with a mask, scarf, hat, gloves... and arrived at the captain's house. As expected, the captain was waiting for her. Xia Chan did not waste any time and put the tractor oil on After it was heated enough to be driven, he drove the tractor and set off with the captain and a car of prey.

It started to snow at night, but fortunately it was not heavy, so there was only a shallow layer of snow on the ground for the time being, which did not affect everyone's travel.

But the cold wind was blowing. No matter how thick the gloves Xia Chan wore, she felt the cold wind blowing into her gloves. The temperature was minus ten or twenty degrees. It was really not a joke. Everyone is wearing these now. Cotton-padded clothes are stuffed with cotton, and down jackets haven’t come out yet, and Xia Chan doesn’t dare to go to the mall to buy down jackets.

However, down jackets are too expensive. A good one costs one or two thousand yuan. One piece for each of the five brothers and sisters will cost nearly tens of thousands of yuan. It is better to wait until down jackets appear in a few years and just buy the ones of this era!

At this moment, in the open space of the drying field, everyone was already handling the prey, and some anxious people had already run over to watch the fun, as if they were not afraid of the cold.

Because the meat was extra income, it was divided equally among every household. Some families wanted to exchange it for money so that they could do other things. The team leader decided to distribute the meat to everyone and let everyone sell it to the purchasing station themselves. Everyone could decide how much meat to keep and how much to exchange for money.

As expected, Xia Chan and the team leader were busy until noon and almost afternoon. The team leader originally wanted to ask Xia Chan to go with him to the state-owned hotel to see if there was anything to eat. Unexpectedly, Xia Chan actually took out a bag of food and said, "Uncle Captain, My brother prepared lunch for me. The two of us will eat a little to satisfy our stomachs and then have a good meal in the evening. "

Xia Chan opened the food and brought two boiled eggs and three pancakes to the captain. Since Xia Chan had always kept them in the pocket of her cotton coat, they were still warm and could be eaten directly.

The two of them found a place leeward and had a simple lunch.

After the commune confirmed it and got the certificate issued by the commune, the two of them went back. When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Xia Chan went in and bought some dry goods, dried kelp, and dried shrimps to put in when making soup. A little of this will make the soup very delicious.

When Xia Chan saw that the meat stall still had bones and pig meat, she really wanted to buy it. But then she thought that the team would be dividing the meat tomorrow and there would be no shortage of these things, so she gave up.

You won’t need to buy any of these things by the end of this year.

Walking on the mountain road home, Xia Chan quietly transferred some New Year's goods and fruits into the basket on her back, and then returned home happily. After all, she solved one thing, and she shouldn't have to go out to endure the cold anymore. Xia Chan was naturally happy. ah!

"Brother, I brought you delicious food. I guarantee you haven't eaten it..." Xia Chan entered the courtyard and shouted happily.

Xia Qi opened the door curtain and stuck her head out, "Come in quickly. Is there anything delicious that we can't talk about until we're inside?"

Xia Chan turned around and closed the courtyard door, then jumped into the warm room. She put down her backpack and put the things she bought today and the things she took out from the space on the table.

"What is this? Fried quail?" The brothers came over and asked, looking at the golden and crispy thing that looked like a chicken and a quail.

"This is a whole fried chicken. It is deep-fried whole. It smells very fragrant. I bought two of them. You can share them, half a chicken per person." The main reason is that roasted whole chickens and fried whole chickens are too expensive. One cost almost thirty yuan, so Xia Chan didn't want to buy too many, so she bought two for her brothers to try.

She will buy more cheap semi-finished products, and when everyone is making fried dumplings on New Year's Eve, she will also fry them.

As soon as Xia Chan finished speaking, four oily chicken drumsticks appeared in front of her. It turned out that her brothers broke the drumsticks first and then gave them to her. Xia Chan didn't know who to choose because she took them. It means that the brothers will not be able to eat this time.

Xia Chan smiled and waved her hand, "I have eaten before, so you can eat the chicken legs today by yourself! To celebrate brother Pengfei's safe return and triumphant return, I will cook a table of delicious dishes tonight."
