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

Chapter 125 Don’t Spend Money Recklessly
It took her a long time to dig out the first cassava plant. She broke off the cassava roots one by one and put them into the backpack. She put the cassava tree aside and waited for it to dry before taking it home to use as firewood.

Xia Chan dug several cassava plants and went back after filling her backpack. She felt that she could not accomplish this task by herself because she had planted thousands of cassava plants, which covered almost two acres of land!

The same goes for konjac, and also large areas of wild yam. She wants to complete the harvesting of these three things by herself within a month. The workload is really huge and the task is also heavy.

Cassava and konjac have to be dug in the same year and cannot be left until the next year, otherwise they will rot in the ground. However, it is different with wild yam, so it seems that we can only give priority to digging cassava and konjac. As for wild yam, we can just dig out some and eat them first, and leave the rest there.

As for handing it over to the village, she would not do that. She would rather work harder to dig it out and give some to the village than tell the villagers where the wild yam is, otherwise she would not be able to protect the things she grew on the mountain in the future.

But she can hand it over to the village next winter, because she can transplant some to other hills in the village and let everyone dig them on other hills in the future. In this way, naturally no one will come to the hill near her home to dig them.

After all, few people come to the mountain near her home, so naturally they won’t discover these things on the mountain. And if they really do find them, there’s nothing we can do about it. We can only go with the flow and take it one step at a time!

When the time is right in the future, she will definitely contract the mountain so that she can enclose the crops she grows and others will not be able to get close.

The summer cicada carries the cassava to the stream, washes it, and takes it home.

"Xiao Chan, what are you carrying?" Xia Qi saw Xia Chan coming back with a heavy basket, and hurriedly took the basket. She was a little surprised to see the clean cassava inside.

"You'll know what this is tonight." Xia Chan pushed Xia Qi to the kitchen, filled the big iron pot with water, placed the steamer on it, and then placed the cassava on top of the steamer.

If you are trying cassava for the first time, just steam it and eat it directly!

Wait for her to buy a cassava eating guide from the "Crossing Mall" and then study the various ways to eat cassava!

Steamed cassava is the same as sweet potato, you can eat it after peeling the skin, but the taste of cassava is somewhat similar to yam, a little sweet and stringy, just like eating those old sweet potatoes with tendons. Although it is not as delicious as yam and sweet potato, it will definitely fill your stomach.

With this thing, people who don't have enough food can now eat their fill.

But Xia Chan didn't want outsiders to know about this this year, otherwise her cassava forest would definitely be destroyed and she would not be able to grow cassava in the future.

And even if we want to plant next year, we can only plant it in a farther place, and we can only plant a little bit here and there nearby.

"Brother, what do you think of this cassava taste like?" Xia Chan asked expectantly.

"Not bad, but it needs to be paired with soup, otherwise it's a bit choking." Xia Qi patted his throat, then took everyone's teacups and poured a glass of water for everyone.

Sweet potatoes, taro, potatoes, and cassava are all a bit dry when steamed directly. Adding some water to boil them into soup will make the situation better. "Then let's stir-fry them next time. Stir-frying them won't be so dry." Xia Chan said.

Cassava leaves can be saved to feed pigs, but Xia Chan didn't dare to tell the team leader, for fear that everyone would worry and that the pigs would have problems eating them, so she didn't save the cassava leaves. After digging the cassava, she directly put the cassava trees and the leaves somewhere to dry and keep them as firewood.

Xia Chan went to dig cassava after breakfast every morning. Sometimes in the evening when she came back from school and her brothers had not come back yet, she would also go to dig cassava. She persisted in this way for a while and finally dug all the cassava in about two acres of land.

As for how many kilograms she collected, she didn't know because she didn't have a scale big enough to weigh it.

Cassava cannot be stored for a long time and will easily rot, so she did not leave it outside, but placed it in the hotel suite. Fortunately, the hotel suite was large and could accommodate everything, but after putting the things down, she could not move around freely!
After all, there wasn't enough room for her to move around.

Xia Chan sent a basket of cassava to the cowshed, Qin Hongmei's family, the team leader's family, and several other families on good terms with the family, and told them how to eat cassava. However, he did not tell them that the cassava was dug from the hill near his home. He said that he found it outside and brought it back.

Anyway, no one has seen cassava leaves. Even if you really go to the mountains to look for them, you won’t find them.

A backpack carries dozens of kilograms of food, enough for a family to eat for a few days. This way, they can save food for a few days. Who would be so stupid as to make a fuss about such a good thing?
As for the team leader's family, Xia Chan was given to the team leader's eldest daughter-in-law, because the team leader had to consider the villagers, and Aunt Lin was the director of women's affairs, and the two of them would definitely give more consideration, so Xia Chan found the team leader's eldest daughter-in-law and asked her not to tell outsiders, after all, there was only so much, and there would not be much left if it was distributed.

By this time next year, Xia Chan will definitely tell the team leader about the cassava, so that all the villagers can eat cassava.

After digging cassava, we start digging konjac. The konjac stalks can also be eaten, but now it is winter and the stalks have withered, so we can only dig konjac. One konjac can grow several kilograms, so it takes some effort to dig it.

However, we didn’t plant as much cassava at the beginning, so we didn’t have to work so hard for so many days.

When Xia Chan was digging konjac, she kept the small ones and planned to use them as seeds, because she didn't want to spend money to buy seeds and seedlings next year. She planned to cultivate them herself. Her savings in the 21st century were limited and she couldn't spend them indiscriminately. She had to save them for the right things.

When she was digging cassava, she also saved those suitable for seeds, which would save her some money later.

Back in September, Xia Chan went to the yam area and picked a lot of yam beans. Yam beans can be eaten or kept as seeds. She left a lot of them as seeds and planted them elsewhere later.

Anyway, she couldn't let anyone notice her neighborhood.

Xia Chan was quietly busy every day, and before she knew it, she had lost a lot of weight. Even though the food at home was good and she ate either meat or fish every day, her weight still shrunk a lot.

Fortunately, she didn't lose weight in places where she shouldn't have. Her legs, waist and shoulders became much thinner, and she could clearly feel it when she took a shower.

Maybe it's because she has grown taller. After all, she is only eighteen years old and not married. She eats well at home, so it's normal for her to grow taller.
