Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

There are no big trees around, and it seems that the area has been cleaned up before.

At that time, the house was not built by the river. Maybe it was because they were afraid that the river would be damp in the summer and there would be more mosquitoes. Fortunately, it is not far away. It is just a few more steps.

The two came to the river and started to wash clothes. The water in the river was running water, which made it much more convenient.

I heard from Lu Chuan that there is a waterfall above the house. It is on the east side of the house. The spring water flows from there. The water we drink at home is picked from the river above the waterfall. Mountain spring water tastes better than river water.

The water from the waterfall flows into the river and gathers together.

When Lu's mother was alive, the water for growing vegetables was also brought directly from the waterfall with bamboo. But the bamboo pole broke after several years, so Lu Chuan didn't repair it. If you want to grow vegetables, you can just go and reconnect it in a few days.

Wow, that's how it is. Who says the ancients weren't smart? Take a look! Take a good look! This solved the problem that had troubled Xu Han for two days.

The wisdom of the ancients is admirable. It turns out that others had already thought of what Xu Han could think of. Xu Han was thinking of using bamboo to divert water, but he didn't know where the water source was!

This is not a direct solution to the problem! It seems that I should not act on my own in the future. I should ask Lu Chuan, the native, more questions when I encounter any problems.

Don't belittle yourself just because you are standing on the shoulders of giants.

Having solved the problem of watering the vegetables, Xu Han was inexplicably happy. Even the speed of washing clothes was much faster.

The clothes will definitely not dry today, Tianma Mountain will be dark, so I will take them home and hang them under the eaves. I will dry them when the sun comes out tomorrow...

After washing these clothes, Xu Han went to make dinner, and Lu Chuan was responsible for hanging the clothes.

A dreamless night...

The next morning, after breakfast, the two began to turn the soil for the day. Seeing Xu Han also went to the backyard, Lu Chuan did not stop them from doing it!

After all, they have lived together for such a long time, and they have come to know each other well. They know that Xu Han is a man of his word. If you tell her not to do it again, she will probably be angry!

Lu Chuan took out a plow from the tool room. He had used a hoe to dig yesterday, which was much slower. Today, two people could use the plow, which would be much faster.

Xu Han was very surprised when she saw Lu Chuan take out the plow!

He said to Lu Chuan, "You have such a useful tool as a plow and rake. Why didn't you take it out yesterday? You had to use a hoe to plow the ground for the whole afternoon!"

Lu Chuan just smiled and said nothing more.

The two began to plow the soil, with Lu Chuan pulling in front and Xu Han holding the plow in the back. Fortunately, the soil had just been frozen and was very soft, so it was very easy to plow the soil quickly.

It wasn't too difficult to do, after all, it had been turned over before. Although there were no vegetables planted, there weren't any big weed roots in the field, and the weeds in the vegetable field must have been cleaned regularly.

Although the land is easy to plow, it is still more than an acre! I ate a little at noon and continued to work in the afternoon. Xu Han wanted to finish it today. It was already mid-February, and I couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

All the land in the backyard was turned over, except for the location of the chicken and duck pen. Xu Han and Lu Chuan turned over the rest of the land. Even the sides of the road leading to the backyard were turned over. They made sure not to leave out any place that could be used to grow vegetables.

Although Lu Chuan had many questions, there were already a lot of vegetable plots in the backyard, and they usually grew some sweet potatoes, corns, and other vegetables, which was enough, so why did they have to open a passage there?

Although I don't understand why! Xu Han seemed to be hesitant to speak, and only said that he wanted to order more vegetables and dry them into dried vegetables for winter, and then he didn't say anything else.

If she wants to, let her do it! It's not a big deal, just let her do it as she pleases.

Xu Han was also very panicked and was worrying about how to get around it. When she saw that Lu Chuan didn't continue asking, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After a day's work, of course she had to have a good dinner. Xu Han took out the pheasant that she had just caught from the trap this morning.

I plan to make a chicken stew with potatoes. It will be even more delicious if it is stewed with mushrooms. Unfortunately, Lu Chuan didn’t dry the mushrooms last year. I must dry more this year.

First, chop the chicken into small pieces. It's too late today, so small pieces are easier to cook. Then pour the chicken into a hot pan and stir-fry to remove excess water. Add water and potatoes and start stewing. While Lu Chuan is out, secretly add star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, oyster sauce, chicken essence, spicy and fresh...

Soon the aroma came out. Today I was extravagant and cooked white rice. Then I used a clay pot to make a hot and sour egg soup. It was simple and delicious.

Black Wind and Black Spot couldn't wait any longer. They kept circling around the kitchen...

When the food was served on the table, Heifeng was so anxious that he used his claws to grab the bowl, but was thrown out by Lu Chuan as expected... Then he turned around and ran in again.

Xu Han quickly took out a darker basin, broke the black steamed bun into it, added the soup, mixed it, and picked out a few pieces of chicken for them to eat...

The two also started today's dinner.

The meal was eaten in silence. After a tiring day, neither of them had time to talk.

After dinner, Xu Han lay on a chair and said to Lu Chuan, "It's already mid-February. I'll plant the vegetable seeds tomorrow and plant them when the weather warms up. I'll plant the sweet potato seedlings later because it's too cold now."

"Okay, then I'll collect the prey tomorrow and come back to make ridges for the land, and then we can plant directly." Lu Chuan replied.

"We should find time to take a break in the chicken and duck pens in the back, so we can feed the chickens and ducks and eat the eggs." Xu Han said again.

"After I finish working on the land, I'll go to the back mountain to cut some bamboo. It will only take about a day to finish." Lu Chuan also wanted to raise some chickens and ducks, at least it would be convenient to eat eggs.

I didn’t feed them before because I was always in the mountains, sometimes I would go hunting and not come home for a few days, and there was no one at home. No one fed the chickens and ducks, and I didn’t usually eat eggs. I never thought about it.

But it’s different now. Xu Han is weak and still needs to eat more eggs to supplement her health. Although she can buy them, it is still too far from the county town. Sometimes the eggs she buys are broken, which is always inconvenient.

Sometimes you can find them in the mountains, but it's not stable! Picking pheasant eggs depends on luck. It's more convenient to feed chickens and ducks yourself. So I agreed without hesitation!

"Oh! I have to make a lot of money this year! I'll pick more mountain products and take them to the county town to sell. There are still too many things that are missing at home!" Xu Han sighed.

When Lu Chuan heard this, he quickly got up and went back into the house!

Xu Han was stunned! What happened? What did I just say? Why is there such a big reaction?

Before she could think about it, Lu Chuan came out of the house with a mahogany box in his hand and handed it to Xu Han.

Then Lu Chuan said, "You don't have to make money. Just buy whatever you want." After saying that, he gestured to Xu Han to open the box.

Hearing what Lu Chuan said, Xu Han hurriedly opened the box. In the dim candlelight, she saw something sparkling inside the box.
