Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Especially when you mix the braised beef broth into the rice, it is simply amazing in one bite.

Although we had this meal a little late, it was all worth it the moment we put it in our mouths.

After dinner, Xu Han said, "It's already mid-October, and the wild chrysanthemums outside should be blooming. Let's go to the mountains to pick some wild chrysanthemums tomorrow! Save them for making tea."

"Okay, let's go pick wild chrysanthemums tomorrow, and then dig sweet potatoes in two days."

“It’s okay for sweet potatoes to be hit by frost. I remember that my mother used to wait until the frost to harvest the sweet potatoes she planted.

Sweet potato leaves that have been hit by frost can be picked and dried to make dried sweet potato leaf noodles, so we can pick some and store them when the time comes." Xu Han added.

"Okay, pick more and save them for making noodles. I like noodles." Lu Chuan said with a chuckle.

The two played around for a while and then went to rest.

The next day, Xu Han did not stay in bed anymore. She got up early, tidied the house, and went to the mountain with Lu Chuan to pick wild chrysanthemums.

Wild chrysanthemums grow in patches, and the two people who often walk in the mountains naturally know where they are.

Lu Chuan and Xu Han took the dogs straight to their destination. When they arrived, a small number of chrysanthemums had already bloomed, but most of them were buds that had not yet bloomed.

Of course, the buds of wild chrysanthemums are better for making tea. Of course, the bloomed wild chrysanthemums can also be used to make tea, but they are not as good as the buds.

It was too troublesome to pick them one by one, so Xu Han used the previous method and directly cut off the branches that were ready for picking.

I can pick them slowly when I get home, so I won’t waste too much time picking them here.

Lu Chuan took the dogs to hunt nearby, and Xu Han was cutting wild chrysanthemums by herself. After finishing cutting this area, she called them to go to the next place to cut wild chrysanthemums together.

In this way, the two of them kept running around in the mountains for the whole day. Seeing that it was getting late, they started to rush home.

After returning home, Xu Han took out dinner from the space. After the two finished dinner, they started picking wild chrysanthemums.

When picking wild chrysanthemums, separate the embryonic chrysanthemums from the blooming wild chrysanthemums. Try not to leave the flower stalks when picking, otherwise the quality will be poor.

Picking wild chrysanthemums is also a delicate job, but it is much simpler than picking wolfberries. At least they are larger in size and do not rot like wolfberries, which will rot if you squeeze them lightly.

Lu Chuan and Xu Han continued picking fruits until nearly ten o'clock. They felt it was too cold to sit down any longer, so they packed up and got up.

First wash your face with hot water, then soak your feet, and then go to rest.

On the second day, Lu Chuan took the dogs to hunt nearby, while Xu Han stayed at home to deal with the wild chrysanthemums.

There were still a lot of wild chrysanthemums that I hadn't picked yesterday! Don't worry, I'll pick them slowly when I have time. I'd better deal with the ones I picked yesterday first.

Pick out the branches and leaves of the wild chrysanthemums, then rinse them several times with clean water, drain the water from the rinsed wild chrysanthemums, and then steam them in a pot for a while.

Put the steamed wild chrysanthemums on a winnowing basket and spread them out to dry in the sun. It will take about three to five days. Then you can seal it and store it for a long time!

The wild chrysanthemum tastes better after it has withered, otherwise it will be too cold and not suitable for girls.

In addition to steaming, it can also be fried. Xu Han took out some of the remaining wild chrysanthemums and tried to fry them to see which one tasted better.

But the most important thing now is to pick the wild chrysanthemums and process them properly.

After drying the wild chrysanthemums, Xu Han sat in the yard and began to pick the wild chrysanthemums that were left over from yesterday.

When I was cutting yesterday, I didn’t feel there were many, but when I’m picking now, I keep wondering why there are so many and why I haven’t picked them all yet.

But after picking them, I felt like there weren’t many left, which really left me speechless.

At noon, Lu Chuan did not come back for lunch, so Xu Han took out lunch from the space and started eating.

After eating, they continued to sit in the yard and started picking wild chrysanthemums. Lu Chuan came back in the afternoon. He came back relatively early today.

"Why did you come back so early today? The harvest was quite good!" Xu Han asked.

"Yes! We caught 8 pheasants, 5 hares and a silly roe deer in most of the day today!" Lu Chuan replied.

Then he continued, "We haven't processed the pheasants and rabbits we hunted a few days ago yet! So come back early today and process the rabbits first."

"Okay, then you go and deal with the wild rabbit first! I have just picked some chrysanthemums, and I will fry them after I finish picking them, and then make dinner later." Xu Han said.

"Well! Then I'll take them to the river to process them." After Lu Chuan said that, Xu Han took out all the unprocessed rabbits from the space.

That's a lot! After wandering in the mountains for so many days, they didn't process the rabbits they caught. Xu Han helped to pack them up and sent them to the river, and then Lu Chuan processed the rabbits himself.

Lu Chuan is very fast at processing the rabbits. With so many rabbits, he will definitely be able to finish them all before dark.

After Xu Han came back from the river, she picked all the wild chrysanthemums that had not been picked yet, and then took them to the kitchen. Since there were quite a few wild chrysanthemums, she steamed some of them and fried the rest.

Put the wild chrysanthemums in the pan and fry them until all the wild chrysanthemums are cooked. Then take them out to dry in the sun. After they are dried, remove the residue and store them.

It was already late today, so it definitely wouldn't dry out. Xu Han simply didn't take it out to dry, but put it directly into the space and wait until tomorrow morning to dry it.

Only processed wild chrysanthemums will have beautiful colors when exposed to the sun. If they are not processed, the colors will turn black when exposed to the sun and they will be prone to insects.

After finishing, Xu Han started to prepare today's dinner. Tonight, she would just stir-fry some simple dishes.

A dish of fried eggs with chili peppers, a dish of spicy and sour shredded potatoes, paired with salted duck eggs and pickles, it is both homely and delicious.

After Xu Han finished making dinner, it was almost dark, so she went to the river to find Lu Chuan.

By that time, Lu Chuan had already dealt with many wild rabbits, and only two or three were left.

Xu Han first put the processed wild rabbits into the space, then collected the rabbit skins and cleaned up the riverside. Lu Chuan had also processed all the rabbits here.

The two walked forward together, found a suitable place, dug a deep hole, and buried the rabbit's internal organs to prevent any animals from eating them.

After we finished, it was already dark, so we went back home and had dinner.

"Let's start digging sweet potatoes tomorrow! In the morning, I'll take some time to pick the sweet potato leaves that have been hit by frost, and you can stay at home in the morning to make the rabbit skin saltpeter.

There are already a lot of rabbit skins without nitrate in the space, so we have to free up some space. We will start digging sweet potatoes in the afternoon." Xu Han said.
