Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Xu Han put the wooden boat into the space, found an open space, and started to eat lunch today.

From the space, we took out roast chicken with edamame and stir-fried bok choy, and paired them with rice. Finally, we gave each person a portion of ice jelly. Perfect!

After lunch, I started walking back, rushing all the way for fear of getting home late.

Heifeng and his puppies caught five or six pheasants in the past two days, and also three rabbits.

Don't you see the benefit of having many dogs? You don't have to worry about them. They can follow you on the road or catch wild animals near the pond.

Who said that raising so many dogs is useless? Now the use of so many hunting dogs has come in. When the puppies grow up, they can catch more prey.

In years of famine, they can help look after the house; in years of good harvests, they can provide for themselves and even hunt for money!

The puppies' hunting skills are not good enough yet! After all, they are not yet adults.

Lu Chuan would occasionally train them, but he would not be too harsh. Most of the time, they would follow their parents to learn how to hunt.

When the two men arrived home, it was already dark. When they got near their home, they could no longer see the road clearly. Lu Chuan held a torch in front to illuminate the way and then rushed all the way back.

After arriving home, Xu Han sat in a chair to rest, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it while breathing heavily.

Although I have been used to walking long distances for a long time, my physical strength is still no match for Lu Chuan. After all, he runs in the mountains every day.

He rushed all the way home without even taking a breath. He walked on the mountain as if he was walking on flat ground. He was so tired.

After Lu Chuan got home, he immediately went to the backyard to feed the livestock. He didn't even need to take a break.

After Xu Han recovered, she hurried to check on the bean sprouts she had grown. She had not been at home for the past two days and didn't know how they were doing.

I opened it and took a look. Fortunately, it was still edible! It was just that it might not have been harvested in time, so it grew a little bit bigger. It was not a premium bean sprout, but it was still edible.

Xu Han went to the backyard, scooped some water, poured it into the basin, took out the bean sprouts and washed them.

I’m tired from traveling today and don’t want to cook, so I just put the washed bean sprouts into the space and cook them tomorrow.

At dinner time, Xu Han took out the food from the space, and the two began to eat today's dinner.

After dinner, I took a comfortable hot bath and went to bed early.

On the second day, Lu Chuan took all the dogs out of the house, saying that he was going to catch pheasants near the house today.

When I left, I took all the fish baskets at home with me. I haven’t put the fish baskets out for a long time, so I don’t know what the catch will be today.

After breakfast, Xu Han started to prepare lotus leaf tea. She had only seen other people make lotus leaf tea in videos, but she had never tried it herself. She didn't know if she could make it successfully.

First clean the lotus leaves, then cut them into pieces with scissors as shown in the video.

Then it is fried, this step is called killing green, the purpose is to remove the oxalic acid in the lotus leaves.

After frying for about five minutes, take out the lotus leaves, put them in a winnowing basket and start rubbing them to bring out the flavor of the lotus leaves.

Finally, you can directly dry it in the sun or in the oven, or you can fry it dry.

Xu Han continued to fry it, and when it was almost dry, she took it out to dry in the sun. It was almost dry in the afternoon.

After the lotus leaf tea was ready, Xu Han continued to process the lotus seeds.

Last time, the two of them peeled some lotus seeds, and while the weather was good, they took the peeled lotus seeds out to dry in the sun.

For slightly older lotus seeds, use a tool to cut through the outer layer of skin, peel it off, and then remove the thin layer inside, otherwise the lotus seeds will turn yellow easily when dried in the sun.

Finally, use a small tool to poke out the lotus seeds inside. Don’t throw away the lotus seeds. After drying, you can use them to make tea.

Lotus seeds are rather troublesome to handle, and each step is a slow job.

It took a whole day to process all the slightly older lotus seeds that the two of us peeled overnight last time.

Xu Han finished collecting the lotus seeds, and Lu Chuan also came back with the dogs. They caught 18 pheasants today.

"You caught so many pheasants in one day! The dogs are awesome!" Xu Han squatted down, hugged the dogs and started petting their fur.

You should know that pheasants are different from wild ducks. Wild ducks live in reed marshes and are easier to catch, but pheasants don’t have a fixed place, so you need to look for them slowly to catch them.

"Yes! Thanks to these puppies. Although they are small, they didn't know how to catch pheasants yesterday. This morning, I trained them while they were catching them. Now they will be able to catch pheasants in the afternoon."

"But it can't compare to Black Wind and Black Spot right now. With more training, it will definitely be an excellent hunting dog."

"Black Wind and Black Spot have been hunting for several years, they definitely can't compare with them!" Xu Han defended the puppies, making Black Wind and Black Spot look at her with grievance.

Seeing this, Xu Han realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately took out a bone from the space and began to coax the two older children.

Lu Chuan was watching from the side with a gloating look on his face. While Xu Han was coaxing them, she did not forget to glare at the gloating man.

In the evening, Xu Han went to cook dinner while Lu Chuan continued to process the pheasant.

I have missed bean sprouts for a long time, I must eat them today!

Let's start by frying some green bean sprouts with vinegar! Wash the green bean sprouts, heat oil in a pan, add shredded ginger and chili peppers, then put the green bean sprouts in and stir-fry, add some vinegar and a little sugar, then add seasonings and stir-fry before serving.

Let's make a cold dish with bean sprouts! Boil water, blanch the bean sprouts, add garlic juice and stir evenly before eating.

It would not be enough to have only vegetables without meat, so Xu Han made a dish of stir-fried beef with peppers, and paired it with steamed buns and porridge, and dinner was ready.

After dinner, Lu Chuan continued to process the pheasant, while Xu Han sat beside him peeling lotus pods.

"Can we pick the medicinal herbs in the mountains? The weather is getting cold. If we can, let's go pick them tomorrow!" Xu Han said.

"You can pick them now. They are all rhizomes. Let's go pick some tomorrow!"

"Okay, let's go take a look first! Pick as much as we can."

So the two decided to go collect herbs tomorrow, sell some of them, and keep the good ones for themselves.

After the drought, there will be snow disasters and floods, and then there will be war. It will definitely be difficult to buy medicinal materials at that time. It is better to keep some precious medicinal materials for yourself in case of any accidents!

It would be best if you don't use it. You can sell it after the disaster is over, and the price will definitely be much higher than it is now.
