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

Chapter 256 When did I lie to you?
"If you have any problems in the future, let Qingming go find Xiaochan. Don't let Qingshan get in touch with Xiaochan anymore." Aunt Lin said to Xia Qingshan, "If you go to find Xiaochan privately in the future, don't blame us for breaking your legs. Don't you think about your own behavior?"

As for Xia Chan, after about three hours, she reached out and patted the konjac paste. It had become very elastic, and it felt like patting tofu. It seemed that the konjac tofu was ready.

She used a knife to cut the whole piece of konjac tofu in the wooden basin into squares, then took it out and put it into large iron pots, two pots in total, and then added water to cook it. The konjac tofu needs to be boiled for two hours before it can be processed and cooked.

Moreover, raw konjac cannot be eaten directly like some cassava.

Xia Chan didn't care about the firewood in the stove anymore. She just went over to add some firewood occasionally. It was really great to resign from the school. Besides, it was not the time for her to drive a tractor yet, so she could do everything at a slower pace and not be so rushed.

After that, with nothing to do, Xia Chan started to draw house design drawings. She majored in new media at the Twenty-First Century University, which involved shooting videos, editing, and copywriting. She didn't really know much about art, so she couldn't draw very good-looking design drawings. She just drew simple drawings that she could understand.

It wasn't something important in the first place, so I just drew it and put it aside.

When the brothers came back, it was not time to make konjac tofu yet, so they cooked dumplings on the stove next to the kang, and their lunch was solved. Although dumplings are simple, in this era, many families would only eat dumplings after distributing grain and meat before the New Year. Unlike their family, they made thousands of dumplings and ate one meal occasionally during the winter, which would last them the whole winter!
The brothers ate the dumplings and went out. Zhou Qizhi stuck to Xia Chan and mysteriously spread out a piece of paper as big as a newspaper with a circuit drawn on it.

"What is this?" Xia Chan was very curious.

"Xiao Chan, take a closer look." Zhou Qizhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Chan with anticipation.

Xia Chan then lowered her head again and looked carefully at the paper that was glued together. She started from the upper left corner and then widened her eyes. "Is this the route your winter hunting team will take to enter the mountain?"

Zhou Qizhi nodded with a smile on his face. "I know you like these, so from the moment we entered the mountain, I began to memorize the route of the winter hunting team in my mind. I started to record it when I rested at night. I wrote down everything along the way. Look here, there are fruit trees, there are two ginseng trees here, and there is a nest of Ganoderma lucidum in this place..."

Xia Chan excitedly grabbed Zhou Qizhi's hand, "What are we waiting for? Let's go now! There are so many good things, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Zhou Qizhi pulled Xia Chan over and forced her to sit on the table next to the kang. "The soil is frozen now. How can we dig? It's spring and we have to plough again. We don't have time to dig. After the ploughing is over, we can take half a month off and I'll take you for a good walk in the mountains. How about that?"

"Really?" Xia Chan looked at Zhou Qizhi excitedly.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Zhou Qizhi raised his head proudly. "Actually, I wanted to give you the route map when I came back from the winter hunt, but it was not yet complete. I added a little bit every day until I completed the route map. Now I'm giving it to you. I know you will be very happy."

"Brother Qi, you really understand me. I'm so happy. There are so many fruit trees along this route, but they are too far away from us. Every year, the fruits fall off. It's such a pity. I really want to dig up all the fruit trees and move them closer to us so that we can have fruits to eat in the future."

The summer cicada was both happy and regretful. He didn't expect that there would be apple trees, pear trees, and wild blueberries along the way.

There aren't many kinds of fruits that can be grown in the north, but there are so many along this route. However, it's almost New Year's Day when everyone goes winter hunting, and the trees have long become bare trunks by this time, so how can there be any fruits?

There is no time to go earlier, because going to the deep mountains and old forests will delay the journey for about ten days, which is why the winter hunting team takes more than 20 days to go there, the distance is too far. "Well, then dig them all back." Zhou Qizhi looked like you were right.

Xia Chan laughed even more happily, and then raised his eyebrows, "How about we wait until the autumn harvest, when there is nothing else to do in the team, and then we go again. The two of us can have a good look at how many treasures there are in this deep forest, how about that?"

"Of course." Zhou Qizhi nodded without hesitation. Deep in the mountains and old forests, two people, the whole winter, for him, this is a trip worth looking forward to.

The two of them made an agreement quietly without telling anyone.

After the konjac tofu was cooked, Xia Chan took out square pieces of konjac tofu and put them in cold water. When it was no longer so hot, he sliced ​​and cut the konjac tofu into strips and put them on a plate.

"What is this? Why does it look like tofu in pieces?" Zhou Qizhi took the knife from Xia Chan's hand and imitated her to cut it into slices.

"This is tofu, but it's not made from beans, so the color is different." Xia Chan heated up the oil in a pan, added onions, ginger, and garlic, then poured the konjac strips in, stir-frying it, and soon made a plate of spicy konjac strips.

"Brother Qi, stop for a moment and come over to taste this tofu to see if it tastes good." Xia Chan directly brought the prepared spicy konjac strips to the table, placed the chopsticks on the edge of the plate, then brought the konjac strips cut by Zhou Qizhi over and started processing them.

Zhou Qizhi picked up the chopsticks, picked up a konjac strip and put it in his mouth. "It's smooth and chewy, crisp, spicy and tasty. It's quite delicious."

"How about I teach you how to do it later?" Xia Chan tilted her head and raised her eyebrows at him. Anyway, she didn't want to deal with this anymore. It was too difficult and too tiring.

Zhou Qizhi nodded, "Okay, teach me when you have time, and I'll do it."

Xia Chan processed all the konjac strips that Zhou Qizhi had cut into spicy konjac strips, just like the snacks sold in the Twenty-First Century. Xia Chan also tasted them and found them to be crispy, refreshing and delicious. However, one cannot eat too much of this at one time; one must eat it in moderation.

"Dinner is up to you. I'll be out first." Xia Chan put three pots of spicy konjac noodles into the basket and went out with the basket. He first gave one pot to the old man in the cowshed, then one to Yuan Bingbing and his wife, and one to the siblings Xiao Fengfeng and Xiao Tiantian.

She was not familiar with the other educated youth, so she didn't give it to others. She was only kind to her own people.

During dinner, the brothers tasted the spicy konjac noodles and thought they were delicious. Jin Pengyuan even asked Xia Chan if he could send some to Xiao Tiantian.

Xia Chan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You want me to tell you? I sent it to them a long time ago, okay? You really forgot about your sister after you got a wife. You always think of your wife when you have something delicious, and don't think about how tired your sister must be to make these things."

Xia Chan said this with a pout, "What a man who has met the love of his life!"
