Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

"Silver, how come there is so much silver?" Xu Han couldn't help but exclaimed. Then she quickly covered her mouth, and then realized that she was living in the mountains and there were no houses around, so she put her hand down.

But he couldn't help but lower his voice and asked, "How do you have so much silver? Is this how you make money as a hunter?"

Seeing Xu Han like this, Lu Chuan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "There are a total of 215 taels of silver in here, 148 taels of which were left by my parents, and the remaining 67 taels are what I saved from hunting over the years. Buy whatever you want. You don't have to worry about making money. I'll go to the mountains to hunt a few large prey in the fall and exchange them for money."

Listen to this, this is not a lot. You have to know that an ordinary family can only save one or two taels of silver a year, which is enough for a family to save for a lifetime.

"Are all these for me? I can buy whatever I want," Xu Han asked uncertainly.

"Well! Buy whatever you want. There are also two silver hairpins, a pair of silver bracelets, and a few pairs of earrings. These are what my mother left for her future daughter-in-law. Take a look and see if you like them. If you don't like them, melt them down and make new ones."

"You give all this to me, aren't you afraid that I will spend it recklessly? Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?" Xu Han said.

"From what I know about you, you won't waste money. As for running away, you won't be able to find the way out without me leading the way. Besides, there are so many wild animals in the mountains that you can't survive on your own."

Uh! Why doesn't this sound like a good thing?

"When it gets warmer in a few days, I'll take you to the county town. You can buy whatever your family needs, and buy yourself some clothes and jewelry. I don't understand these things for women."

Hearing Lu Chuan say this, Xu Han became happy again. After all, that woman doesn’t like shopping!

Besides, with this money, she can buy a lot of food, so Xu Han won’t have to worry anymore!

But how should I tell Lu Chuan! After all, it is definitely not possible for me to buy so much food at once. I can't even get out of the mountains, let alone buy food! I still have to rely on Lu Chuan for this matter.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown. If he told him that he was a time traveler, would he burn himself to death? Forget it.

Or just say directly that there will be droughts, snowstorms, floods, and wars in the next seven years. Would he believe it?

Lu Chuan saw that Xu Han was so funny just now, but suddenly frowned again and fell into deep thought! He wondered, is it because the money is too little? It seems that he needs to make more money! He can't let his wife look down on him.

In this way, the two of them fell asleep with their own thoughts.

The next morning, after breakfast, Xu Han started to ferment the dough. Before, Heifeng and Heidian had eaten black-flour steamed buns made by Lu Chuan, and the unleavened dough became very hard when it cooled down.

Just after finishing the meal, Xu Han took out the yeast in the space and planned to steam some steamed buns for the two dogs. Make more at a time so that they can be eaten for two days. After all, I am still very busy recently. Save as much time as possible!

I scooped three scoops of black flour and kneaded it into a large dough, waiting for it to rise.

It’s not that I don’t want to feed the dogs! It’s just that the two dogs are too greedy.

You have to know that the current grain production is low, and many families eat black flour steamed buns and corn flour steamed buns. When wild vegetables come out, there are more wild vegetables and less flour, so the whole family can eat enough! It is better to be full than hungry!

Then take out the white flour and mix some corn flour into it to make steamed corn flour buns. Put the dough aside to rise.

When he arrived at the backyard, he took out the vegetable seeds that he had specifically asked Lu Chuan to buy, as well as the vegetable seeds that he had purchased online before. He sorted them and put them on plates, and took them to the backyard to grow seedlings.

I saw that Lu Chuan had already prepared the seedbed for the seedlings! He even made it a little bigger, but it was still not enough, so he asked Lu Chuan to make it a little bigger.

Lu Chuan was very puzzled and asked, "Aren't you going to leave some for sweet potatoes and potatoes? Are you going to plant vegetables on this acre of land?"

"Hehe." Xu Han smiled but didn't say anything. She really didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, she said, "Spread the seeds more sparsely, so the seedlings will grow stronger."

After hearing what Xu Han said, Lu Chuan didn't say anything. After all, he didn't know how to farm, so he decided to listen to Xu Han!

So I started to help Xu Han grow seedlings. Xu Han divided the land into pieces and put a kind of seed in each piece. After removing the packaging bag, I didn't know what kind of seed it was. Anyway, the seedlings in the same nursery pond would be planted together, right?

This time, a lot of seedlings were raised. Lu Chuan bought pumpkins, winter melons, eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, etc. from the county town.

There are also many fruit tomatoes and big tomatoes, various peppers, fruit cucumbers, etc. that Xu Han bought online, as well as honeydew melons and the like.

I was planning to take these back to my hometown to let my mom grow them, but ended up bringing them here. I don't know how my parents are doing now, I miss them so much!

After sowing the seeds, split the bamboo poles into thin strips, make a small arch shed, and cover it with the rags at home. The weather is still a bit cold now, so you need to keep warm so that the seedlings can come out.

Then cover it with some thatch. After the seedlings emerge, just open the two ends for ventilation in the morning and evening.

There are still some seeds left, which are seeds of various vegetables. We can plant them directly when the weather gets warmer.

After finishing, Lu Chuan continued to prepare the ground. Xu Han went to sort out the old clothes that had been dried and began to paste more soles to make a few pairs of cloth shoes for herself and Lu Chuan.

First trim the worn-out clothes and sort them into large and small items. Cloth is not cheap, so don't waste it.

First, take a basin, pour some white flour, add water and stir in one direction until there are no lumps, then pour in boiling water to scald the flour. This kind of scalded flour is very sticky. In my hometown, we use this scalded flour to paste Spring Festival couplets during the Spring Festival, and it is very solid.

Then take it outside to cool down a bit. Then move the table out, find a smooth board, and sprinkle water on it. I remember when I was a kid, my mother would take down the door panels at home to paste the soles of shoes! .

Put the large piece of cloth on the board, press it to fit it together, then brush the batter on it and spread it evenly, otherwise there will be bubbles and it will not stick.

The batter should not be too thick, just a thin layer will do, otherwise it will be difficult to pierce with a needle later. Four layers of batter are enough for the sole.

The remaining small pieces of cloth should not be wasted. Make them as small as possible and cut them into the size of the soles.

It wasn't finished by lunch time because Lu Chuan had so many discarded clothes!

I rubbed my aching waist and went to the kitchen to make lunch.

After a while, Lu Chuan came back, washed his hands, and started to help Xu Han light the fire.

I had a simple lunch today, some fried shredded potatoes and an egg with chopped green onions. I still had brown rice, but I added some sweet potatoes to it and it tasted sweet and delicious.

After dinner, Lu Chuan went to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo. Xu Han continued to paste the soles of shoes.

Fortunately, there were a few large smooth wooden boards in the tool shed, which must have been used to dry things.

Otherwise it really won’t be enough. After the paste is done, take it out to dry, and when it’s dry, you can cut the soles.
