Chapter 207: Does Brother Qi know what I want?
After Xia Chan finished writing, she folded the paper, put it in the space, and went to prepare lunch. There were many people in her family, and she didn't want to live a life of fooling herself with her brothers, so as long as Xia Chan cooked, she would He is very serious and cooks a lot of dishes.
Who told her to have everything in her hands!
The fruits and vegetables picked in the summer are all well preserved in the space. Even if they are sold in the winter, they will not miss out on the portion that their family can eat.
Today, Xia Chan made a dish of Mushu Pork, which is a stir-fried dish of pork, eggs and fungus, stir-fried ham with cucumber, stir-fried beans with bacon, stir-fried water spinach, stir-fried dwarf greens with mushrooms, and a pot of loofah soup.
She happened to be going out with everyone today, so she had a reason to take out the meat she bought earlier.
In fact, last month when everyone was working hard to dig cassava, the temperature was already very low, similar to winter in other places. This month, it has entered winter directly. The highest temperature during the day is only a few degrees, and the lowest temperature at night has already reached It’s already below minus ten degrees Celsius, so if you put the meat outdoors at this time, it won’t go bad until spring comes.
So Xia Chan directly brought out 20 kilograms of meat today and had it cut and packed. Each portion weighed almost two kilograms. When you want to eat it in the future, you can take one portion back and fry it with the side dishes. , enough for them to eat for one meal.
What's more, the five brothers and sisters have been eating meat for the past two years, and they are not so greedy for meat now. Two kilograms of meat per meal is enough.
Even people in the city may not be able to eat two kilograms of meat in one meal!
The temperature is very low now, and the food will get cold soon after it is brought to the table, so Xia Chan warms the food in the pot, waits for her brothers to come back, then puts it on the table, and then finishes it as quickly as possible.
"Brother, the temperature is already very low now. You can make dumplings and leave them. If you go to the town to sell prey, remember to bring back some pork every day. Be it suet or pork offal. Anyway, I can make everything delicious. .”
To make dumplings for a whole winter, the little meat Xia Chan brought was not enough, so she needed other things. Making dumplings with lard residue that had been refined was also quite delicious, so she could also buy some lard. It’s just not necessarily easy to buy. Anyway, the brothers have to go to the town every day to sell the prey they catch, so go queue up and give it a try. Even if you can only buy half a catty of pork in a day, it doesn’t matter. Add up a little and make a lot!
Xia Qi nodded, "Don't worry, Xiaochan, we will bring you whatever you want."
Xia Chan bit her chopsticks and smiled, "Really? Is Brother Qi so powerful? You can bring me anything I want, so does Brother Qi know what I want?"
Xia Qi felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Xia Chan. He shook his head and said, "I don't know, but as long as you can tell me, I will do my best to bring it back to you."
"You don't have to wait until the twelfth lunar month to kill the New Year pig, right? We'll kill the pig this month, okay?" Thinking of her own pigs, Xia Chan decided to kill them in advance so that she could make more dumplings and make more The buns are frozen in the yard. When you want to eat them later, you can just heat them up.
The main reason is that she still wants to eat sausages, and the gadgets for stuffing sausages are not expensive. Then she can buy one from the ‘Crossing Mall’ and make some blood sausages and sausages.
Xia Bin thought for a while and said, "Then let's kill him at the end of this month! The butcher will definitely be very busy at the end of the year, and we will have to queue up by then."
"Okay, let's do it at the end of this month! But if you go to town these days, if you can buy meat, you still have to buy some. It's cold now, so it's not a bad thing to prepare more meat." Buy the meat back. Now, she can start making dumplings early. There are five of them, and there won’t be enough dumplings to eat without the dumplings, and Xiao Fengfeng and the three of them have to be included!
In the evening, Xia Bin and Xia Qi brought out a large water tank from the kitchen. Jin Pengfei and Jin Pengyuan went to the village to fetch water. They filled the large water tank with water and froze it overnight to make ice tanks.
The five of them have to eat a hundred dumplings in one meal, which means they have to eat countless dumplings throughout the winter, so they have to make a lot of dumplings and freeze them. The ice jar will definitely not be able to hold the dumplings. It is used to hold meat.
When the family's New Year pig is killed, the pig's trotters, bones, etc. must be put in here.
After dinner, when her brothers went to wash up, Xia Chan had time to check the packages sent by Su Yu and Xiao Yunfan. The things Su Yu sent were quite miscellaneous, and Xia Chan knew that they were put together by the doctors and nurses in the hospital.
What Xiao Yunfan sent was furry and warm things, including hats, gloves and furry shoes, as well as money and tickets. The tickets were universal across the country and were used to exchange food with her. Some comrades said they were compared to their hometowns. She was poor and lacked food, so she could send him whatever food she had here.
Xia Chan quickly packed her things. She packed a hundred pounds each of cassava and taro, because these two things can fill her stomach and are easy to eat. They can be eaten directly by steaming them. No good cook is required. art.
On Su Yu's side, each item was packed with ten kilograms each. After all, he had been trading with Su Yu in the past two years. Su Yu was probably tired of eating some things, but that was all he could do to fill his stomach. Some fancy things wouldn't fill his stomach. Having a full stomach is simply not practical.
When the weather gets cold, their family resumes foot bathing. After soaking their feet, their whole body feels warm, and they feel more energetic for class in the evening.
The school had not yet had winter vacation, so Xia Chan had to go to work in the howling cold wind. She first went to the brigade captain's house and handed the human trafficker scam she had written to the brigade captain, and asked the brigade captain to take it to Secretary Mo. Ask Secretary Mo to speak to the captains during the meeting and remind the girls to be careful outside.
Because we don’t know who the bad guy is, we naturally can’t remind the bad guy to be a good person and not do bad things. Then we can only remind everyone to be careful and protect themselves.
"Xiaochan, ask your brothers to deliver hares to the state-owned hotel from tomorrow. This year, the state-owned hotel will need twenty rabbits a day." The captain said with a smile on his face. From now on, he can deliver twenty rabbits every day. , Yongan production team can finally have a steady stream of income.
"Is it the same price as last year?" Xia Chan raised her eyebrows excitedly.
The captain nodded happily.
"Then it's 70 yuan a day, and more than 20,000 yuan a year. Everyone can get more than 100 yuan more in a year!" Xia Chan was also very happy, and she could finally live a good and honest life soon. "Uncle Captain, don't worry. I will tell my brother and the others when I get back from get out of class. They will never be late tomorrow morning."
Anyway, my brother has to go to the town to make money every morning. Delivering rabbits to the team is just a casual thing, and delivering rabbits is not a waste of time. There are two work points a day, just get up early, and it is too cold in the morning, so No one competes with them for this job.
