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

Chapter 210 Su Yu is here
Xiao Tiantian curiously grabbed two corn cobs and lifted them up, only to find that it was actually a round lid. The large ice vat was actually full of things. Looking at the packages of food inside, Xiao Tiantian was shocked.

She knew that Xia Chan and his five siblings were good at living, but she didn't expect that they lived such a good life. She liked the atmosphere in their family very much and felt that the brothers and sisters were very happy together every day, unlike other families, which were noisy all day long.

Xiao Tiantian closed the lid of the large ice jar and turned back to the kitchen. It was freezing cold outside with a howling wind, but the house was filled with warm sunshine. Xiao Tiantian quickly took off her coat and put it on the bench, then went over to continue making dumplings.

While Xia Chan was making dumplings, she was watching the stew in the pot. When it was ready, she served everyone a bowl of it first. Then she used the remaining hot soup in the pot to cook another pot of dumplings and gave everyone a bowl.

With family, friends and delicious food, such days are simply as happy as heaven.

In the evening, when Xiao Fengfeng and the others were about to leave, Xia Chan packed some dumplings for each of them in a cloth bag and took them back. "You have all helped me make dumplings for the whole day today. Thank you for your hard work. Take these dumplings back with you. You can cook dumplings when you don't feel like cooking."

Yuan Bingbing put more in her cloth bag because it also included Zhou Ji's share.

"Will you still need us tomorrow?" Xiao Tiantian asked with a smile.

"No need, you guys take a good rest. Make sure to heat the kang well at night, otherwise you will catch a cold and get sick." Xia Chan reminded them, and sent the three people to the door. After watching them go away, Xia Chan locked the gate and returned to the house.

She moved her shoulders. After making dumplings all day, her shoulders were tired and sore.

They made a lot of dumplings today, but they were not enough for them, so they would have to continue making dumplings later. However, this was really a luxury for their family. Other families would at most make dumplings for one meal during the New Year, but they actually wanted to make a yard full of dumplings and save them for the winter. How much flour and meat would that require? However, Xia Chan had money and tickets, so he didn't care about these things.

She just didn't want to suffer any loss for herself and her brother.

Since I can't spend money openly and can't wear new clothes openly, I'll try to compensate my brothers in terms of food as much as possible.

Soon it was the day to slaughter the New Year pig at Xia Chan's house. The butcher came to Xia Chan's house early in the morning with the slaughtering tools. The brothers took the heavier pig out of the pigpen and took it to the stream to process it.

There is a mission pig in the pigsty that needs to be handed in, so you can't scare that pig.

Xia Chan was at home, and when she heard the screams of pigs in the distance, her heart almost broke. But there was nothing she could do, because eating meat was the most important thing in this day and age!

The pig raised by Xia Chan was well fed by Xia Chan and he occasionally fed it a little bit of pig feed, so it produced a lot of pork. It produced 190 kilograms of meat, 40 to 50 kilograms of ribs, and the pig head and offal together weighed almost 50 kilograms.

Xia Chan left a pound of meat, pork liver and pork kidneys for Qin Hongmei's family, and a pound of meat and a whole set of pig heart and lungs for Aunt Lin's family. As for the other families, each gave a few pounds of ribs. Her ribs with meat were much more cost-effective than the bones sold at the supply and marketing cooperative.

I also left five pounds of ribs for the old man in the cowshed.

Knowing that Xia Chan's family had slaughtered the New Year pig in advance, those families with whom she had a good relationship came up to ask Xia Chan if she wanted to sell pork. Xia Chan smiled and said, "Our family still owes so much foreign debt, so naturally we want to sell some pork for money to pay off the debt. We don't need meat coupons. It's one dollar and twenty cents per pound. If anyone is willing to buy, we are naturally willing to sell some." She would definitely not sell the pigs she had raised with great effort at a low price, and it was even more impossible for her to give them away directly. She usually gave food to these families, so it was impossible for her to give away meat.

Those who could afford it directly bought ten kilograms of pork, while those who couldn't afford it bought one or two kilograms to try. Anyway, they would soon go into the mountains for winter hunting, and there would be free meat to eat, so there was no need to spend money to buy meat.

Especially since Xia Chan’s meat is so expensive.

In the end, Xia Chan's family still had 150 kilograms of meat left. This amount of meat was really not enough for anything, so Xia Chan said he would not sell anything. Half of it was used to make bacon, and the remaining half was used to make dumplings. The rest was divided into 2-kilogram portions and placed in a large ice jar to be eaten fresh.

Xia Chan and his siblings had just finished marinating the pork, packing it into portions, and had not had time to chop it for dumplings when they heard a knock on the door.

Xia Chan washed the oil off his hands with hot water and went out to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he just stood there in a daze.

"Nurse Su...Nurse Su Yu, why are you here?" Xia Chan was extremely shocked. Su Yu actually came here. She actually came here in person. They had been exchanging letters and packages over the past two years.

"Comrade Xia Chan, long time no see!" Su Yu reached out and rubbed the hat on Xia Chan's head. She really liked this strong little sister. "Your face has some flesh, it seems you are well-nourished."

Xia Chan smiled embarrassedly, "Nurse Su, please come in. I'm a little busy today and haven't cleaned up the house yet. Please don't mind!"

Inviting them into the room, Xia Chan immediately poured them some hot tea. Seeing that the man who came with Su Yu hadn't spoken, Xia Chan asked curiously, "Nurse Su, is this man your husband?"

After hearing what Xia Chan said, Su Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter. "I don't even have a fiancé, how could I have a husband? This is my brother Su Qin. He knew I was coming to the Yong'an Production Team and was afraid that I would be in danger, so he asked for leave to accompany me."

Xia Chan was extremely embarrassed. She actually mistook the brother and sister for an engaged couple. She quickly apologized, "Comrade Su Qin, I'm sorry. I was shortsighted and misunderstood your relationship."

Su Qin smiled faintly, "We didn't make it clear."

Xia Chan brought a fruit plate with persimmon cakes, red dates, and walnuts to entertain them, and asked in confusion, "Nurse Su, why did you think of coming to our production team to find me? Why didn't you write or telegraph me in advance? I can pick you up at the station!"

"Wouldn't it be even more frightening if you really came to the station to pick me up?" Su Yu raised her eyebrows and smiled, then said, "Didn't you say that your family raised two pigs this year? I just wanted to come and see if I could buy some pork from you, or exchange some."

"You guys came by chance. We just slaughtered the New Year pig today, but there's not much meat left. I can only give you 20 kilograms of pork at most, 10 kilograms of bones with meat, and a pig's trotter. If you want it, just pay me the market price."

Because he was an old friend, Xia Chan was embarrassed to refuse directly. After all, the other person came all the way to see him.
