Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy
Chapter 15 Digging winter bamboo shoots
Hearing this, Xu Han laughed and said, "The things in the refrigerator will be refreshed. What you eat today will be available again tomorrow. It's a pity that my refrigerator is not big. There are only various fruits and drinks in it. There are not many vegetables, let alone staple foods!"
After hearing what Xu Han said, Lu Chuan hurriedly comforted her: "It's okay. I'll buy more food and store it so that you don't have to worry about not having food to eat. Just save those fruits for you as snacks."
Xu Han took another pear and gave it to Lu Chuan to eat. After hearing Xu Han say that there would be more tomorrow, Lu Chuan did not refuse and started eating it.
After eating the fruit, Xu Han took Lu Chuan to brush their teeth. However, it was inconvenient because the toothpaste could not be placed outside, so she told Lu Chuan that she wanted to buy a few more ceramic jars so that they could squeeze the toothpaste out of the space and use it outside, which would be more convenient.
Lu Chuan said, "Take her to the county town the day after tomorrow, and buy some food at the same time. Buy it in batches. After all, if you buy too much food at one time, it will easily attract the attention of the government." Xu Han had no objection to this.
The next morning, Lu Chuan went to build the trap, while Xu Han peeled the remaining bamboo shoots, intending to dry them into dried bamboo shoots and store them.
Use a knife to peel the bamboo shoots, cut off the old parts, cut off the roots, and clean them. Wash them, cut them in half, boil them for half an hour, and soak them in cold water for a while. Take them out, drain the water, cut them into slices, and put them on the winnowing basket that Lu Chuan had made earlier to dry.
We didn’t dig much yesterday, so we cooked a big pot of it, and after drying it there was even less.
After finishing all this, I went to get the soles that I had pasted two days ago and turned them over. They were almost dry. While I was turning them over, Lu Chuan came back!
It was almost noon before we knew it, so we cooked early today and after lunch we went to dig winter bamboo shoots together.
Simply stir-fry two dishes, heat up some steamed buns, and have a soup.
After lunch, the two of them each carried a backpack and went to the bamboo forest to dig winter bamboo shoots. The winter bamboo shoot season was about to end, so they had to dig more while they still had time, as winter bamboo shoots tasted better than spring bamboo shoots.
The two came to the bamboo forest. Xu Han looked for winter bamboo shoots based on yesterday's experience, while Lu Chuan followed behind and dug. Maybe no one had dug before, so it was easy to find!
They would insert a small wooden stick next to the bamboo shoots they found, and Lu Chuan would start digging directly. The two of them would work together and be more efficient. They found a lot of bamboo shoots in a short while. Seeing that more and more wooden sticks were inserted, Xu Han also joined Lu Chuan's team to dig bamboo shoots.
Xu Han poured the dug winter bamboo shoots directly into the space, freeing up the backpack to continue carrying the winter bamboo shoots. Lu Chuan saw Xu Han's hand touch the backpack, and the backpack disappeared. This was the first time he saw Xu Han collecting things, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
But he didn't ask any more questions and continued to dig winter bamboo shoots. He dug for an hour, then they sat down to eat something and rest for a while. Xu Han took out two apples, one for each of them.
He then used a bamboo tube to pour out the Coke from the refrigerator and gave it to Lu Chuan to try. Lu Chuan took a sip and his eyes widened with surprise! He said, "What is this? Why is there still bubbles? It's black. After I drank it, I felt my fatigue disappear instantly."
"This is Coke, a carbonated drink," Xu Han explained.
After resting for a while, the two continued to dig winter bamboo shoots, and did not get up and go home until the sun was about to set.
When we got home, the two dogs had already returned by themselves. When Lu Chuan was not going hunting, he would sometimes let them out to find food on their own. Heifeng and Heidian would come back by themselves before dark.
The two dogs' stomachs were rumbling, it seemed they had eaten their fill outside!
Xu Han took out two winter bamboo shoots, peeled them, and planned to stew chicken with bamboo shoots.
Cut the winter bamboo shoots into shreds and blanch them in water to remove the bitterness. Then take out the chopped chicken by Lu Chuan, put it into the pot, stir-fry to remove the water until golden brown, add ginger, green onion, cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, then add oyster sauce, salt and other seasonings, pour in the bamboo shoots and start stewing.
In another pot, cook more sweet potato rice soup, steam a bowl of steamed eggs, heat up the steamed buns, and put four eggs and four sweet potatoes on top to save for tomorrow morning! Tomorrow morning I have to go to the county town, so I have to get up early to catch up.
Prepare meals in advance and put them in the space, so you don’t have to get up early to cook. You can just take them out when you want to eat!
After dinner, Xu Han looked at the bamboo shoots that filled the living room and felt a little worried. It seemed that she had to organize the space in the living room. Otherwise, there would be no place to put things!
Taking out the winter bamboo shoots from the space, the two peeled them while chatting.
"There are too many things to buy tomorrow, let's leave early!" Xu Han said
"Okay! I'll take you around the county town and buy whatever you want. Don't worry about money! When autumn comes, I'll go hunt some big game. Then I'll have money." Lu Chuan replied.
"There's no need to risk your life! Safety is the most important thing. We just need to buy enough food for ourselves. This money is enough!" Xu Han persuaded the
Hearing this, Lu Chuan did not refute. He also wanted to do his best to make Xu Han's life better. Based on the things Xu Han took out these two days, it can be guessed that her life before, at least she had no worries about food and clothing!
The living standards here have dropped, and I must feel aggrieved.
After peeling for a while, Xu Han suggested not to do it for now. It would not go bad if they were kept in the space. She could peel the remaining bamboo shoots when she had time.
"I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the county town. I've been tired all day, so I'll take a rest first."
The next morning, Lu Chuan woke Xu Han up early. Looking at the sky, it was just getting light. Xu Han wanted to stay in bed for a while, but when she thought about the long way to the county town, she slowly got up.
They took out the breakfast in the space and started to eat. After eating, each of them carried a backpack and set off for the county town.
With Xu Han's space cheat, he doesn't even need to push the unicycle.
I won’t take any prey this time. I’ve processed all the prey I caught in the past two days and put them in the space to keep them fresh for eating.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, they saw a small river. The river was not big, about three or four meters wide, and the water flow was quite fast.
Lu Chuan took out the small wooden boat hidden in the bushes, which he had specially made for him in the county town.
The wooden boat is not big and can only accommodate two or three people.
The two of them rode on the wooden boat for about an hour and a half. Lu Chuan asked Xu Han to get off and put the small wooden boat into the grass and hide it! The two of them walked out of the woods together.
After a while, they saw the pipeline. After walking along the pipeline for about an hour, Xu Han finally saw the gate of the county town.
"Finally we're almost there, but I'm so tired!" Xu Han panted, thinking that it was really not easy for people in ancient times to go out! They all relied on their legs to walk, no wonder they rarely traveled far!
When the original owner lived in the village, he saw others riding ox carts to town.
But there were no ox carts in the deep mountains. Although we took a boat for the first half of the journey, we walked for another hour afterwards. For someone whose WeChat step count in modern times does not exceed 5000, isn’t it too far?
