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

Chapter 40 Taro Soup

Taro can be made into many delicious dishes, such as taro puree, taro balls, taro cakes, and taro wedges. Of course, the easiest way to eat it is to steam or boil it directly. Like potatoes, it can fill your stomach.

Xia Chan was so excited that she began to pick taros, washing them while picking. She quickly picked taros a few meters away, and there were many clean taros piled beside the field edge. She put the taros into the hotel suite, leaving only one The backpack was outside, and then I went back.

When I was almost near home, I took back the basket full of taro, then opened the courtyard door and shouted happily, "Brother, I'm back."

Hearing her voice, everyone knew that something good must have happened to Xia Chan. Jin Pengyuan, who was the closest, took the backpack from Xia Chan's back and said, "Hey, it's so heavy. What good thing did you encounter?" Is it there?" He lowered his head and looked inside the backpack. He didn't recognize them all. "What is this?"

Xia Chan smiled mysteriously, "You will know what this is in a moment."

Then she went to the kitchen to get a wooden basin and a dozen taros, washed and peeled them, first cut the taro into slices, and then into thick strips, then went directly to the kitchen to cook the boiled taro. Xia Chan ate it first. I took a small bowl, waited for a while, and saw that I didn't feel any discomfort, so I filled a bowl for each of my brothers.

The brothers were very surprised when they saw a big bowl full of taro soup, especially the things cut like radish strips inside, which looked light purple, but smelled very fragrant.

"What is this?" Xia Bin was curious, "It looks delicious."

"That's why my cooking skills don't taste good?" Xia Chan squeaked, mainly because she was reluctant to add seasonings, "Try it quickly and see if it tastes good."

Xia Chan said, holding her chin in her hands and looking at her brothers expectantly.

Although there was no wild celery to pinch now, she now discovered fish and taro, which made up for her loss.

As long as she makes money, she won't have time to think about those messy things.

The brothers ate taro soup and they all thought it was delicious. It tasted no worse than sweet potato soup or potato soup. Xia Chan decided to make taro soup or other flavors of taro every now and then to change the taste.

Otherwise, if you eat the same kind of food every day, it will feel boring.

After the brothers had eaten and drank, they all came over to clean and peel the taro, while Xia Chan was responsible for slicing and cutting it into strips. After cutting for a few minutes, her hands felt very uncomfortable, so Xia Qi came over and took away the knife and let Xia Chan rest. , just leave the rest to them.

Xia Chan had finished cutting all the taros she brought back today, but there was nothing to dry them at home, so she had to use the cattail mats that Xia Bin had made before. Xia Bin decided to cut some cattails when she was free and dried them to make the mats. .

With Xia Chan's ability to store goods, it is estimated that no amount of straw mats would be enough.

In the evening, Xia Chan made another large pot of taro soup, filled it with several large bowls, and set off with the basket. First, she put a bowl in front of the cowshed door, and then went to the village. Aunt Qin, Several other people with whom I had good relations gave a bowl as a gift, and finally it was given to the brigade leader’s family.

After arriving at the captain's house, she did not leave, but chatted with Aunt Lin and her eldest and second daughters-in-law, because Aunt Lin's daughter was married and would only come back occasionally. Everyone mainly said that Xia Chan was amazing and the method she provided was very good. The captain liked her very much and also said that she drove the tractor very steadily. Xia Chan was embarrassed by what she said.

In fact, in her previous life, she was an experienced driver with many years of driving experience. Can she drive a tractor unsafely?

Although there are not many things going on in the village, the team leader is outside arranging villagers to go to the mountains to pick wild products. These belong to the collective in large areas. There are only one or two scattered trees. Whoever finds them can pick them without turning them in. To the village collective.

After the captain, his eldest son, and his second son came back, Xia Chan said to them, "Uncle captain, eldest brother, and second brother, I have something to ask you. Can you please come out?"

The three of them were very confused, but they still came out with Xia Chan.

Xia Chan led the three of them to the place where she hid the fish, pointed to the frame containing the fish, and said to the team leader, "Uncle Captain, these are the fish I caught from the water outside the production team. There are eighty fish in total, and there are also cattle." Uncle Captain, please give it to everyone, one for each family. If you don’t agree, the fish will be canceled because I caught the fish, so it must be divided according to my requirements. "

The captain and his two sons opened their eyes in shock. Except for winter fishing, when had they ever seen so many big fish?
"Xiaochan, these fish..." The captain was so surprised that he couldn't even speak.

"Captain, I worked hard to catch these fish alone. I think that everyone has just harvested in the autumn and worked hard, so I want everyone to drink some fish soup to replenish their bodies." Xia Chan explained, pointing to the side The wooden barrel said, "The fish in there are prepared for Secretary Mo's family. Please bring it to Secretary Mo during the next meeting. Only when you are in good health can you do more practical things for the people."

The captain patted Xia Chan on the shoulder and said with relief, "Xiao Chan, you have never let me down. I sincerely thank you, but this is my responsibility, not yours. Don't do such dangerous things again in the future."

"Uncle Captain, you take great care of our family, so I also want to solve problems for Uncle Captain." Xia Chan said with a smile.

She didn't do anything, let alone help anyone. She just used fish that didn't cost money to change her family's reputation and reputation. She wouldn't use her pitiful savings to feed irrelevant people. human mouth.

The captain didn't ask where the fish was caught, because he knew that no matter where, after catching so many fish, there would be nothing left, and even what was left would probably be small fry.

"Uncle, thank you. Let's go to the brigade to share the fish." The brigade leader said to his second son again, "You take the fish in the bucket home and tell your mother that this is Secretary Mo's fish, not ours." , told her not to move."

"Okay." Then the second son took the bucket and left first.

The captain and his eldest son carried the fish to the brigade headquarters. Xia Chan followed behind and wanted to step forward to help, but the captain refused. Eighty fish weighed just over two hundred kilograms. The two men could still lift it.

When they arrived at the village headquarters, the team leader immediately rang the gong for the meeting. The sounds for starting a meeting, starting work, and finishing work were different. So as soon as everyone heard the sound, they knew that a meeting was about to take place in the village, so they ran out of their homes one after another.
