Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

The main reason was that we didn’t expect to stay out for such a long time, and we didn’t prepare dry food for the dogs some time ago, which led to the dogs not having enough food.

Porridge alone is not enough. Dogs exercise a lot every day and will definitely get hungry soon.

Xu Han took out some more potatoes, washed them, and put them into the clay pot to continue cooking.

By the way, cook the potatoes for tomorrow morning and add some broth to mix them together, which will be delicious.

After eating, the two of them took a rest. They would get up early the next day to continue their journey. They would be home by lunch time.

The next day, Lu Chuan got up as soon as it was light, boiled some hot water, poured it into a bamboo tube, and added the potatoes cooked yesterday into the pot, heated them up a little, and would feed them to the dogs later.

When Xu Han got up, Lu Chuan had already packed his things and was waiting for Xu Han to put them into the space.

It was too cold and Xu Han didn't want to get up at all. She procrastinated and had delayed until now. It was already bright in the sky when she finally got ready.

Xu Han first took out two rice dumplings from the space, then two eggs, two bowls of porridge and some pickles.

After setting up breakfast, he took out some bone soup from the space, poured it into Lu Chuan's mashed potatoes, and fed it to the dogs.

After eating, I put the food into the space and started walking towards home.

At noon, I finally got home. After not being home for more than ten days, the house was covered with a layer of dust.

As soon as the two entered the house, they went to the backyard to see how the chickens, ducks and geese were doing!

Fortunately, they are all still alive, just a little dirty.

Lu Chuan cleaned the pen, changed the water, added food, and then drove them all back in.

I also cleaned the area inside the fence where the chickens, ducks and geese lived, washed the stone slabs with water, and leveled out the piles of dirt and earthworms that had been scratched. Only then was the backyard considered clean.

As soon as Xu Han came back, she went straight to the vegetable garden. A sweet frost had fallen during the few days she had been away from home, and the leaves of the peppers and tomatoes were damaged.

Fortunately, I came back in time, otherwise I would have lost these peppers and tomatoes.

Xu Han took a backpack and picked all the peppers from the branches and put them all in the backpack. When she had time, she would wash them and pickle them with salt. They were best used to stew eggs.

The ripe tomatoes were picked, and the branches damaged by frost were also pulled out and discarded, as they would not grow any further anyway.

Xu Han had just finished picking the vegetables, and Lu Chuan had also swept the front yard clean.

It was the time when the leaves fell in autumn, and there was a thick layer of leaves piled in the yard, which took a lot of time to clean up.

"Do we need to pull all these out?" Lu Chuan asked.

"Yes, let's pull them all out! They have been hit by frost and can't grow well." Xu Han said.

"Okay, I'll take care of these, you go take a rest!"

"Don't do it yet, let's eat lunch first and do it later."

"Okay, let's have lunch first."

So the two of them ran to the front yard to have lunch.

The house was full of dust, so Lu Chuan moved the table directly to the yard and ate his lunch while basking in the sun.

After lunch, Lu Chuan went to the backyard to clean the vegetable garden, while Xu Han went to prepare dry food for the dogs.

First, he took some black flour, and then started to make the dough ferment. He mixed the dough in four wooden basins at once, and each basin was full.

Because there was too much, the dough would definitely spill out when it rose, so Xu Han put some into other basins to prevent the dough from spilling everywhere.

After kneading the dough, I cleaned up the kitchen. I wiped the stove and dishes and brushed them. After being away from home for a few days, it felt like no one had lived there for a long time.

After cleaning up the kitchen, he turned into the main room and started another round of trouble.

Here, Lu Chuan had already tidied up the vegetable garden in the backyard and even turned over the soil.

When the weather gets cold, the ground will freeze soon. After turning the soil over and leaving it there, the insect eggs and other things in the ground will be frozen to death directly, and the soil will become very soft.

Xu Han had also cleaned up the house. After all the hard work, both of them were sweating. Xu Han poured some warm water and handed it to Lu Chuan.

"Take a break! We'll be busy tomorrow!" said Xu Han.

"I see that frost has already fallen. Is it time to harvest the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and radishes outside?"

"It's time to harvest. Let's start harvesting tomorrow! Don't let them freeze if we're late."

"Okay, then we'll start harvesting tomorrow. Don't deal with the cattle and sheep for now. Wait until we finish the work in the fields in a few days and then slowly deal with them." Lu Chuan said.

"That's all I can do. It's time to get busy again."

The two of them rested for a while. It was getting dark again. It was getting dark earlier and earlier now. It was only five o'clock at this moment.

There was no way, Xu Han and Lu Chuan went into the kitchen one after another, as there was still a big project to be done!

When I got to the kitchen, I opened the lid and took a look. Because the dough was placed in warm water, it had already risen well.

So the two of them started making steamed buns again. Lu Chuan was strong and kneading the dough didn't take any effort at all, but Xu Han was very tired.

I simply didn't knead the dough and let Lu Chuan knead it himself. I then cut the dough kneaded by Lu Chuan into large rolls. I didn't care whether it looked good or not. Anyway, it was for the dogs to eat, so as long as it tasted good.

Put the cut rolls into the steamer, and arrange them neatly, layer by layer, even all five layers of the steamer are not empty.

I took out a new steamer and started placing the dishes. It’s very fast to cook with two pots at the same time, which saves a lot of time!

After a while, the steamed buns were ready. Xu Han put them into the space while they were still hot and started the next round until all the steamed buns were steamed.

Xu Han lit the fire, and Lu Chuan went to the backyard to wash a basket of potatoes. He would cook them and save them for the dogs to eat.

I worked until seven o'clock before I finally prepared all the dry food for the dogs. I gave each dog a hot steamed bun, and then I started to cook dinner for two people.

"What are we having for dinner tonight?" Xu Han asked.

"I haven't eaten potato noodles for a long time. Let's cook some potato noodles!" Lu Chuan suggested.

"That's fine. I haven't eaten it for a long time. Let's eat potato flour!"

So Xu Han took out potato flour and hot pot meatballs from the refrigerator in the space, and added some side dishes to make a big pot.

While slurping noodles, the two discussed their plans for tomorrow. "What do we want to collect first tomorrow?" Xu Han asked.

"Why don't we harvest the radishes first? Radishes have a lot of water and are easily damaged by freezing, but potatoes and sweet potatoes can still last a few more days!"

"Okay, then we will harvest the radishes first tomorrow. But we don't have a lot of radishes planted, so they should be harvested quickly. After that, we will harvest the potatoes." Xu Han said again.
