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

Chapter 201 Remember to tell me

However, as they walked, Secretary Mo turned towards the primary school. When Principal Song saw Secretary Mo coming, he hurried over to entertain him. Secretary Mo raised his hand to refuse, saying that he just wanted to walk around.

After that, he walked around outside every classroom and saw Xia Chan who was teaching in the classroom. Secretary Mo's eyes were full of admiration and satisfaction. Yong'an Production Team has cultivated such an outstanding girl. With her around, Yong'an Production Team will definitely not be bad in the future. No, it can be said that the entire commune will not be bad in the future.

How can we retain such talents?
In the evening, when Xia Chan was making dinner, Xia Qi came back and suddenly reached out and poked Xia Chan on the forehead, "You are really bold and reckless."

He said, how come there was always a supply of cassava at home? It turned out that she planted it quietly on the hilltop. She planted and harvested by herself, all quietly. It was so hard, but she never even mentioned it.

Xia Chan covered her forehead and smiled mischievously. She certainly understood what Xia Qi was talking about.

The cassava she planted was not far from her home. Her brothers must have seen it before and wondered what it was. When they were harvesting cassava today, they naturally remembered that cassava was what was growing on the hills near their home.

No wonder their family could eat cassava every now and then. It turned out that it was all earned by my sister’s hard work.

"If you have any problems in the future, remember to tell me. Don't do it alone secretly. Got it?" Xia Qi rubbed Xia Chan's hair. He would not stop her, but he would cover for her and help her do it, so that she wouldn't have to work so hard.

The summer cicada blinked mischievously, and then continued to cook dinner.

Now the cassava has been handed over to the production team, and she will not plant it anymore. However, she will continue to plant konjac and taro. She will not tell others about these two things. Even if she plants them openly, others do not recognize them and do not know that they are edible. They will probably just treat them as unknown grass or trees.

There weren't many wild yams left last year, so her brothers dug them all up for her. She weighed them in the hotel suite and found there were only about a thousand kilograms. But it was free money anyway, so this amount was enough for them to eat for a while.

Xia Chan harvested a lot of yam beans in September and October last year. The yam fields need to be stopped for a few years before they can be replanted, so after the spring of this year, the yam beans were planted in other places. Then in September and October of this year, Xia Chan went to pick the remaining yam beans. After the spring, she had to find a place to plant the yam beans again.

There are not many yams this year, so Xia Chan gave ten kilograms to each of the families he knew well. Several of his classmates in elementary school and Principal Song also gave ten kilograms to each of their families. The same went for the teachers of various subjects that he knew in high school and the principal's family.

In the evening, Xia Chan peeled a basin of yam, washed it, cut it into pieces and put it in the basin, filling the whole basin. Yam is easy to cook, but it will become rotten after a long time and it will be difficult to pick up. So when the cured pork ribs are almost cooked and it is almost time to eat, I poured the yam into the pork ribs soup, covered the pot, and simmered it slowly.

While the yam and pork ribs soup was stewing in the pot, Xia Chan and his brothers moved the things that were drying in the yard into the house. Xia Qi, Jin Pengfei and Jin Pengyuan's houses were all empty, perfect for storing things.

Otherwise, Xia Chan’s house really wouldn’t have enough space to store so many things.

At dinner time, the yam stewed with pork ribs had a light salty aroma, not to mention how good it was with rice. Xia Chan only ate two small pancakes and drank a large bowl of yam pork ribs soup and was full. Xia Qi picked up two pieces of pork ribs for Xia Chan, "Eat more dry food, otherwise you will be hungry in the middle of the night."

"Thank you." Xia Chan smiled sweetly, then picked up the ribs and started eating. She bought these cured ribs from the 'Time Travel Mall'. Because there is no meat on the ribs of this era, there is no point in smoking them. They can only be preserved for a longer time, but there are only bones and no meat.

"What are your plans for our pigs, Xiao Chan?" Thinking of the pigs he raised, Xia Bin asked, "Do you plan to keep half and sell the other half, or keep all?"

Their family raised two pigs, but one of them was a task pig and had to be handed over to the commune for free. The commune would give a little reward at most, but no money.

"I want to keep it all, half to eat fresh, and the other half to eat smoked bacon." Pigs cannot grow that big at this time. Many families' pigs can only grow to more than 100 kilograms, which does not have much meat.

Xia Chan is willing to feed the pigs, so the pigs she raises are bigger and have more meat. However, a pig can only produce about 100 to 200 kilograms of meat at most. If she makes some dumplings and buns at home, what will be left?

And we also have to prepare some bacon for Xiao Tiantian, Su Yu and Xiao Yunfan. We don’t know if there will be any left in the end!
Moreover, the price of live pigs is cheap, probably around 60 or 80 cents. A pig can only be sold for that little money, and then you have to spend money to buy meat. Why go through so much trouble?
"Okay, then keep them all." Xia Bin nodded.

"Those debtors mainly come to our house to use money to offset the meat. Don't agree. These are two different things. Otherwise, after eating the meat, they will forget about it and think that we didn't pay them back. So we should pay what we owe, and we can't use meat to offset it."

It’s not that Xia Chan doesn’t believe them, but people are all mortals and they really can’t remember many things after a long time. What if they take the meat home and forget to record it in the account book?
Xia Chan also didn't expect that at that time others would accuse them of not paying back the money.

After hearing what Xia Chan said, the brothers nodded repeatedly.

Later, when the villagers were harvesting cassava, Xia Chan was alone on the hill near her home harvesting the konjac and taro she planted. Although it was hard work, the joy of the harvest was enough to dispel all the hard work.

In the past when there was drought and little rain, the yield of konjac and taro was not low because summer cicadas occasionally came to water the plants. This year, she harvested more than 5,000 kilograms of taro, and less than 2,000 kilograms from the swamp, for a total of about 7,000 kilograms.

She harvested a total of more than 9,000 kilograms of konjac. Together with what she harvested last year, she had a total of nearly 20,000 kilograms of konjac. However, konjac is too troublesome to handle, so she hasn't handled any konjac in the past two years.

If you just sell it like this, people won’t buy it because they don’t know how to eat it.

If she wanted to sell the konjac, she had to process it first, but it was too troublesome and she was very busy, so it was put on hold. Xia Chan decided to put it aside for the time being and process it when she had time. By the time she sold the vegetables and wild vegetables in winter, there would be enough space in the hotel.

Yams and taro can be stored for quite a long time, so Xia Chan prepared fifty kilograms of yam and taro each, intending to wait until Xiao Tiantian went to send something back home one day and then have Xiao Tiantian send it back home.
