Chapter 256 When did I lie to you

"If something happens in the future, Qingming will ask Xiaochan to go to Xiaochan. Qingshan can no longer be exposed to Xiaochan." Aunt Lin said to Xia Qingshan, "If you go to Xiaochan privately in the future, don't blame us for cutting off your Legs, don’t look at your own virtue.”

As for Xia Chan, after almost three hours, she reached out and patted the konjac pulp. It was already very elastic. Patting it on it felt the same as patting it on tofu. It seemed that konjac tofu was made. alright.

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 a large iron pot. There were two pots in total. Then she added water and boiled it. The konjac tofu had to be boiled for two hours first. Only then can processing and cooking be carried out.

Moreover, raw konjac cannot be eaten, unlike some cassava, which can be eaten raw.

There was firewood in the stove, so Xia Chan didn't care. She only needed to go over and add firewood occasionally. It was really great to resign from school, and it wasn't time for her to drive a tractor yet, so she did anything. The pace can be slower and there is no need to rush.

After having nothing to do, Xia Chan began to draw house design drawings blindly. She majored in new media at 21st Century University, which was video shooting, editing, and copywriting. She really didn’t know much about art, so She can't draw many beautiful design drawings, she can just draw them briefly so that she can understand them.

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

When the brothers came back, the konjac tofu was not ready yet, so they cooked dumplings on the stove next to the kang, and that was it for lunch. Even though dumplings are very simple, in this era, many people only make them during the New Year. In the past, we would only eat a meal of dumplings after dividing the food and meat. Unlike their family who made thousands of dumplings, one meal occasionally during the winter could last the whole winter!

After the brothers ate the dumplings, they went out. Zhou Qizhi stuck to Xia Chan and mysteriously spread out a piece of paper as big as a newspaper with lines drawn on it.

"What is this?" Xia Chan was curious.

"Xiaochan, take a closer look." Zhou Qizhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Chan expectantly.

Xia Chan lowered her head again and looked at the piece of paper glued together seriously. She started looking at the upper left corner, then her eyes widened, "Is this the route your winter hunting team takes into the mountains?"< br>


Zhou Qizhi nodded with a smile on his face, "I know you like these, so from the moment I entered the mountain, I started to write down the route of the winter hunting team in my mind. I started recording it when I rested at night. I noticed anything along the way. I have written it all down. Look here, there are fruit trees, there are two ginseng trees here, and there is a nest of Ganoderma lucidum here..."

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

Zhou Qizhi dragged Xia Chan over and sat her down at the kang table. "Now that the soil is frozen, how can we dig? It's spring and we have to plow again. We don't have time to dig. We'll wait for the plowing to be over. Let's take half a plow." During your monthly vacation, how about I take you for a nice walk in the mountains?”

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

"When did I lie to you?" Zhou Qizhi raised her head arrogantly, "Actually, I wanted to give you the road map when I came back from winter hunting, but it was not completed at that time. I will make up some more the next day. I added a little bit a day to complete this circuit diagram, and then I gave it to you. I knew you would be very happy.”

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

Xia Chan was both happy and regretful. She didn't expect that there would be apple trees, pear trees, and persimmons (wild blueberries) along the way.

There aren't many kinds of fruits they can grow in the north, but there are so many on this route. It's just that it's almost the Chinese New Year when everyone goes hunting in winter. By this time, the trees have long turned into bare trunks, and there are no fruits left. ?

If we go in advance, we don't have that time, because going to the deep mountains and old forests will delay us for ten days on the road. This is why it takes more than twenty days for the winter hunting team to go there. The distance is too far. "Well, then dig them all back." Zhou Qizhi looked like you were right.

Xia Chan smiled even more happily, and then raised her eyebrows, "How about we wait until after the autumn harvest and there is nothing else in the team to go again, and the two of us can explore how many treasures there are in this deep mountain forest? ”

"Of course." Zhou Qizhi nodded without hesitation. The two of them in the deep mountains and forests, all winter long, for him, this was a trip worth looking forward to.

The two made an agreement quietly without telling anyone.

After the konjac tofu was cooked, Xia Chan took out the square pieces of konjac tofu and put them in cold water. When they were no longer so hot, she sliced ​​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 cut it into pieces, imitating her example.

"This is tofu, but it's not made of 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-fried, and it was ready quickly. A plate of spicy konjac strips.

"Brother Qi, stop for a moment and come here to taste whether this tofu is delicious." Xia Chan directly brought the prepared spicy konjac strips to the table, put her chopsticks on the edge of the plate, and then cut Zhou Qizhi into pieces. The konjac strips were brought over again and started to be processed.

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

"How about I teach you how to do it from now on?" Xia Chan turned her head and raised an eyebrow 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 cut by Zhou Qizhi into spicy konjac strips, just like the snacks sold in the 21st century. Xia Chan also tasted it. It was indeed crisp, refreshing and delicious, but this one Don't eat too much at one time, just the right amount.

"I'll leave dinner to you. I'll go out first." Xia Chan put three pots of spicy konjac strips into the basket and went out with the basket. First she gave a pot to the old man in the cowshed, and then she gave one to Yuan Bingbing and his wife. A basin for brother Xiao Fengfeng and Xiao Tiantian.

She is not familiar with other educated youths, so she does not give it to others. She is only good to her own people.

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

Xia Chan rolled her eyes at him and said, "What do you want me to say? I've given it to them a long time ago, okay? I really forgot about my sister when I got a wife. I always think about my wife when there is something delicious to eat, and I don't want to think about my sister doing this." How tired things must be.”

Xia Chan curled her lips as she spoke, "What a man you meet in love!"
