Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

In the evening, the two of them ate hot pot. Because hot pot has a smell, Xu Han was afraid that the room would be filled with the smell of hot pot, so the two of them ate in the kitchen, and the food was also hot even if they lit a charcoal pot.

"We can finish dealing with the pine cones tomorrow. Do we need to go into the mountains the day after tomorrow?" Xu Han asked.

"Let's go into the mountains! I want to dig lotus roots. Didn't you say before that lotus roots can be made into lotus root powder? And lotus roots are delicious when stir-fried. I quite like them."

"It's even colder to dig lotus roots, so let's forget it! We already have Pueraria root and can make Pueraria powder. We don't need a bite to eat. If you really want to eat it, you can buy it!" Xu Han disagreed.

"It's okay, I'm in good physical condition! It's not easy for me to get sick. Even if I get sick, I will recover quickly and then I can have more dishes to eat. Don't worry! Don't dig too much, just enough to eat." Lu Chuan persuaded Xu Han.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Lu Chuan, Xu Han stopped talking. They both had the same temper, being stubborn as hell. Once they made up their minds, no one could persuade them. If they didn't go, they would always be thinking about it.

After dinner, Lu Chuan took a hot bath. Xu Han felt that she was not dirty and did not want to take a bath, but she insisted that Lu Chuan take a hot bath to get rid of the coldness in his body.

The next morning, after cleaning up the house, I continued to smash pine cones. Today I waited until noon before letting Lu Chuan wash the Pueraria root. At least there was sun at noon, and it would feel a little warmer than in the morning.

Lu Chuan washed the Pueraria roots, while Xu Han continued to process the remaining pine nuts. By the time the sun set, they had finally cracked all the pine nuts, but the shells were still not cleaned!

Lu Chuan finally finished washing all the Pueraria roots. Xu Han collected the Pueraria roots and put them in the cellar. After dinner, the two of them worked overtime together to process the smashed pine cone shells.

After cleaning all the pine cone shells, it was already late, so the two of them quickly cleaned the house and put the processed pine nuts into the space.

Because they have not been dried yet, I am afraid that the pine nuts inside will go bad if they are packed together, so it is safer to put them in a space.

The next day, the two got up early again and set off towards the pond with lotus roots. They dug yam along the way and hoped to reach the cave before dark. Otherwise, it would be too late when they arrived and they would not be able to dig lotus roots.

It would be better to take advantage of the time and dig yams while walking! It can be regarded as not wasting today's time.

It was still early when they arrived at the cave, and Xu Han was thinking about whether she could make a pair of clothes for Lu Chuan to dig lotus roots.

There was no such thing as water pants for digging lotus roots in ancient times, but Xu Han had cowhide! So she thought about whether she could use cowhide to make a piece of clothing similar to water pants for Lu Chuan.

This was the solution Xu Han thought of before leaving, but it was too late to do it. He could only take the necessary things with him and work overtime tonight to finish it.

Xu Han took out the kneaded cowhide, cut it into the shape of water pants, made it into the shape of overalls, and then sewed them together.

Xu Han made the straps very high, for fear that the water would be too deep and get into the clothes. But if they were too high, she would not be able to put on the clothes. So she made the shoulder straps longer and tied knots on them when the time came. Although it didn't look good, at least it was wearable.

After it was finished, Lu Chuan tried it on and found it was wearable but looked weird.

Xu Han laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, and Lu Chuan cooperated by posing in a weird manner.

"Not bad, not bad. I think it's very good." The model herself was quite satisfied with Xu Han's work.

After playing around for a while, it was already late, so the two went to rest.

The next morning, after breakfast, Lu Chuan and Xu Han went to the pond.

When they arrived at the place, seeing that the water was not very deep, Lu Chuan tried to go down into the pond. After going down, he looked for lotus roots according to the method taught by Xu Han.

I groped along the roots and when I found a lotus root, I pulled it out. Due to my lack of experience, the lotus root was also very fragile, so I broke it at the first pull. I washed it in water and put it in a wooden basin beside me.

"How is it? Are you cold? Are your pants leaking? Did you feel it?" Xu Han asked repeatedly.

"It's not cold, not cold, and my pants are not leaking. Look at this." Lu Chuan took out another lotus root. This time, he was very careful and gentle without breaking it. He held it up and showed it to Xu Han.

"Okay, then you can just touch it here! I'm digging yams nearby, call me if you need anything!"

After Xu Han finished speaking, he put a few large wooden basins in the pond for Lu Chuan to hold the lotus roots, and he took the dogs to look for kudzu roots and yam on the slope beside the pond.

With only one pair of water pants, Xu Han couldn't help much, but she couldn't sit idle either! Then she found a job for herself.

Xu Han had just found a yam and was about to start digging when she heard Lu Chuan's voice.

Xu Han responded quickly and walked over quickly. It turned out that the wooden basin was full of lotus roots and they needed to be taken out.

"Great, you're really fast. You've filled it up so quickly." Xu Han said.

"The lotus roots inside have never been dug out, so they have grown much larger." Lu Chuan said as he handed the basin to the shore.

Xu Han found the basin and put it directly into the space. Then she took it out and placed the lotus roots on the straw mat. Then she put the basin back in the pond and Lu Chuan continued to dig.

After harvesting the lotus roots, Xu Han returned to dig his own yams. In order to dig for a longer time this time, Xu Han gave Lu Chuan a few more wooden basins and gave him all the wooden basins he was going to use this time.

When the sun was about to set, Xu Han came to find Lu Chuan. Lu Chuan had already dug a lot of lotus roots. The two of them put away the lotus roots and went to a nearby stream to wash them.

It was almost dark, and Xu Han put on gloves and helped wash the lotus roots regardless of Lu Chuan's attempts to stop her.

Pour the lotus roots directly into the river and use water to wash off the mud on the surface. The white and tender lotus roots will be exposed. They look so plump that you will want to eat them directly.

The two finally finished washing all the lotus roots before it got dark, and then they headed back towards the cave.

Back in the cave, Xu Han took out the folding bathtub from the space, boiled some hot water and let Lu Chuan take a hot bath to get rid of the cold.

Regardless of Lu Chuan's objection, she forced him to drink two bowls of ginger soup. However, under the intimidation of his wife's eyes, Lu Chuan drank the ginger soup reluctantly.

I have to say that although Lu Chuan looks quite mature and reliable, he can sometimes behave like a child. For example, when the ginger soup didn't taste good, he even started to act like a spoiled brat.

After all, he was only twenty years old, which was not considered old in modern times. At least Xu Han was older than him...

The two of them ate hot dumpling soup, accompanied by eggs and pancakes, and after eating and drinking their fill, they rested.
