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

Chapter 209 No one should be a stepping stone for others
Xia Chan saw that there were still some bones and offal at the meat stall and no one was buying them, so he went over and bought them all. Winter was too long, so he had to prepare more food and freeze it at home so that he wouldn't have to go out and freeze during the coldest time.

When the time came, everyone had bought their things and came back, and Xia Chan drove the tractor back.

The team leader winked at Xia Chan, so Xia Chan handed the things to Xia Qi and asked him to take them back, while she stayed at the team leader's house, sat down on the kang, and took the hot tea handed to her by Aunt Lin. The team leader's family had also split up, and the eldest son's family and the second son's family had built houses and moved out, so now there were only the two of them left at home, but the children lived nearby and would come several times a day.

"Aunt Lin, Captain Uncle, why did you ask me to stay? Is there something important you want to tell me?" Xia Chan asked in confusion while drinking hot water.

"It's like this. Our production team has a quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. You have made the greatest contribution in the past two years. After discussion, we decided to give you this quota. We hope that you can study more, and when you graduate, you can make more contributions to the production team with advice and suggestions." said the team leader.

"Uncle Captain, even if I don't have this, I will still contribute to the production team, because the production team is my home!" Xia Chan said with a smile, "I think life is the best teacher and can teach me a lot. I don't want to run away to a strange city without my brothers around me. I will feel panic, so Uncle Captain, leave this opportunity to those who need it more!"

"But..." The captain did not expect Xia Chan to give up the opportunity that everyone dreamed of so easily.

He had heard that in some places the educated youth had caused a lot of troubles that could not be resolved just for this quota.

"But if you don't want this quota, who should we give it to? If we give it to the educated youth, the young people in the production team will definitely make a fuss." The team leader said with an embarrassed look on his face. If this opportunity was given to Xia Chan, no one else could say anything.

Xia Chan has made great contributions to the production team and has been awarded as an advanced individual twice. This position is most suitable for Xia Chan.

"Uncle Captain, as long as you follow the rules and regulations, no one has the right to say anything to you. There are requirements for this Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, right? There should be academic requirements, right? Then call out all the young people who meet the requirements, stand in a row, and let those who are sixteen years old or older in the team vote. Whoever gets the most votes will get the spot. The villagers all support themselves and vote for themselves, so they have no reason to complain."

After listening to Xia Chan's idea, the captain nodded repeatedly in appreciation, "This is a good idea."

"Also, don't let this matter out before the vote, otherwise everyone will definitely buy gifts for the villagers and ask them to vote for them. Then there might be a big fight. For the sake of the team, we must prevent this from happening at the source."

Some people have bad character and will definitely resort to evil means. If they make the Yong'an Production Team a mess, how will everyone still be able to live?

They just walked away, leaving a mess behind for the production team.

Why should the production team suffer these unprovoked disasters because of them?
"You educated people have quick brains and have thought of all these things. Such things have happened in other places before. Male comrades hooked up with the daughters of village cadres for the quota, and once they got the quota, they abandoned the daughters and ran away. I will never allow such things to happen in Yong'an Production Team. No boy or girl in our team should become a stepping stone for others." The team leader said seriously.

"It is a blessing for everyone to have such a good team leader like Uncle Captain." Xia Chan said sincerely. It is because of the team leader's seriousness and responsibility that the villagers in the team can live a better life.

After everything was said and done, Xia Chan went home. Xia Qi had already cleaned the pig offal and was about to put it in the ice tank. When she saw Xia Chan coming back, she asked, "Xiao Chan, when are you going to eat this pig offal?"

"Let's eat it tomorrow! We'll use the stewed soup to make dumplings tomorrow." Xia Chan said.

"What kind of filling do you plan to make dumplings with tomorrow?" Xia Qi asked.

He can eat anything, it all depends on the summer cicada's taste.

"Tomorrow we will start with the ones with sauerkraut pork and cabbage and lard fillings. As for the other fillings, we'll decide after I prepare the ingredients." They are humans, not machines. How can they make so many different kinds of dumplings in one day?
There's nothing else to do, so just take your time packing it!
The next morning, after breakfast, Xia Qi cleaned the table with a clean cloth dipped in hot water, and then started to knead the dough. Xia Chan prepared the two fillings and then braised the pig offal.

Xiao Fengfeng and the other two came here with their brother who was going to the town to deliver rabbits to the state-owned restaurant.

"Are you frozen? Come to the kang and warm up. Wait until the dumpling skins are rolled out, then come over to make dumplings with us." Xia Chan invited them to rest on the kang in the house, and also made some malted milk for them. There was so much malted milk at home that they couldn't finish it, so he made some for them.

The ceramic cups used were also defective products that Xia Chan bought from the "Crossing Mall". They were very cheap, only one dollar and ninety cents each. Xia Chan directly placed an order for one thousand of them, keeping fifty for personal use and selling the rest on the black market in the county town.

This ceramic cup is white, with paintings of various flowers, plants and trees on the cup body. It also has a lid and a small spoon inside for stirring. It is very eye-catching and will definitely be very popular.

Xiao Tiantian held the cup with both hands. The cup contained malted milk made with boiling water, but the outside did not feel that hot. Instead, it was very warm, which was very suitable for warming hands. It seems that the cup has a good heat preservation effect.

Drink some malted milk and chat, and when the malted milk is finished, everyone goes to the kitchen to make dumplings together. The kitchen needs to be larger to accommodate so many people.

Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Fengfeng didn't know how to make dumplings, but with Xia Chan's guidance, they quickly learned how to make dumplings. In fact, making dumplings is really a simple thing. Just put the fillings on the dumpling skin and then stick the dumpling skin together. It's just that at the beginning they may not be able to control the strength well, so the dumplings are not well wrapped. But after making a few more and becoming proficient, it will be easy to make dumplings.

Everyone sat on the benches and made dumplings seriously. After each dumpling was filled in a basket, they were taken out and placed outdoors. After the dumplings were frozen, they could be packaged into as many dumplings as needed for one meal.

They were tired of wrapping and would occasionally get up and walk around. Xiao Tiantian came to the yard to get some fresh air and saw a large transparent water tank behind the corn stalks in the corner of the yard. There were two corn cobs on it that looked like cow horns. She curiously reached out to touch it, but she didn't expect it to be made of ice.
