Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Fortunately, Lu Chuan and Xu Han lived deep in the mountains, so no matter how deep they went, they didn't dare to go to where they lived.

After all, the journey was too far and time did not allow it. However, just in case, Xu Han and Lu Chuan put the boat into the space after arriving at their destination.

This is to prevent someone from discovering that there is a boat parked here and suspecting that someone lives here.

Finally, Lu Chuan stayed behind to camouflage the path that the two often walked on. Fortunately, the number of times they went down the mountain would become less and less, and the path would slowly be covered by vines.

When Xu Han got home, it was still early and there was nothing to do, so she thought she would make some beef jerky while the temperature was not very high and the sun was shining brightly!

Xu Han took out some pure lean beef from the space, and then cut it into finger-thick lengths along the grain.

Because I wanted to make more, it took me a long time to cut the beef.

After everything was cut, Lu Chuan just came back, and the sky was gradually getting dark.

Put the beef into three different large wooden basins, then add onions, ginger, white wine, spices, salt and sugar.

Add some peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, and chili powder into one of the wooden basins to make spicy beef jerky.

In another wooden basin, five-spice powder is added to create a five-spice flavor.

The last pot is added with cumin powder to make it cumin flavor.

There are three different flavors, of which the spicy one was made in large quantities, while the five-spice and cumin ones were only made in appropriate quantities. After all, Lu Chuan and Xu Han both prefer the spicy taste.

When marinating beef jerky, be sure to rub it repeatedly for a while, so that the marinated beef jerky will be more flavorful.

After kneading, put it outside to marinate for a while, and then put it back into the space before going to bed. You can take it out and dry it directly tomorrow. Two or three days of exposure to the sun will be enough.

After drying, put it in a steamer and steam it until cooked. Then let the moisture on the surface dry out and the beef jerky is ready to eat.

After Xu Han prepared the beef jerky, she immediately started cooking. Today's dinner would be a simple home-cooked meal.

After dinner, the temperature is no longer cold and it gets dark much later than before. I can’t sleep, so I start to deal with the violet yedoensis in the space.

When digging Viola yedoensis, the roots are dug together, and there is also grass and other things mixed in.

So it is very troublesome to handle. You need to pick them one by one, pinch off the roots, and then clean up other things that are mixed in. It takes a lot of time to handle.

"Let's go dig some more Viola yedoensis tomorrow! There's only a little left from the last time, and we can finish it in one or two meals." Xu Han said as she picked vegetables.

"Okay, let's go together after breakfast tomorrow. After digging for two consecutive days, there won't be much left after processing it." Lu Chuan also likes this dish very much and particularly agrees with Xu Han's suggestion.

After confirming tomorrow's itinerary, the two continued to pick wild vegetables until they felt sleepy and then went to rest.

After breakfast early the next morning, Lu Chuan went out with Xu Han. Of course, the dogs in front ran out first.

"The dogs have been cooped up this winter. When we have some free time in a few days, let's take them for a walk in the mountains!" said Xu Han.

"It's time to take them out hunting. They've become so fat this winter that they won't be able to run anymore." Lu Chuan looked down on the greedy dogs without mercy.

Although they complain that the dogs are getting fat, they still give them more food at every meal for fear that they will not be full and will go hungry.

The two of them talked and laughed as they walked, and soon they found a large patch of Viola yedoensis, then they put down their backpacks and started digging.

"The seeds of this Viola yedoensis are so big! So big and tender." Xu Han said to Lu Chuan while digging.

"It's quite big. We can dig a full basket from this area!" Lu Chuan said without raising his head.

Lu Chuan has been digging wild vegetables with Xu Han every day recently, and has gradually come to appreciate the fun of digging wild vegetables. Both of them are more interested in digging than eating.

Xu Han suddenly remembered that it was the season for eating elm seeds, so she asked

"Lu Chuan, are there any elm trees in the mountains? They are the kind that have round flowers that look like copper coins when they sprout in the spring."

"Is it light yellow?" Lu Chuan asked after thinking carefully.

"Yes, have you seen it?" Xu Han had not eaten elm seeds last year, and seemed to have never seen them in the mountains, so she asked Lu Chuan.

"There seem to be a few in the mountains, but they're quite far from here. Can I eat them?"

"It's edible. It can be steamed or made into elm seed steamed bread," said Xu Han.

"Then let's go look for it deep in the mountains tomorrow! There are also a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains, and we can pick some then."

After thinking for a while, Xu Han said, "That's fine. We'll go tomorrow and stay in the mountains for a few more days."

"Yes! Sure." Then the two of them stopped talking and continued to dig wild vegetables.

After they finished digging, Lu Chuan and Xu Han walked forward together. When they passed by the stream, Lu Chuan stopped Xu Han and said, "Do you see that patch of wild celery across the river? It's quite a large patch."

Xu Han took a look and confirmed it, then said, "It's true! But how do we get there?"

"The water ahead is relatively shallow. Let's walk over there. Don't you have water pants in your space? Wear them and I can go over directly."

The water is still a little cold now. Lu Chuan doesn't want Xu Han to touch the cold water, but Xu Han is definitely going there, so he can only suggest this.

After hearing what Lu Chuan said, Xu Han did not object. After putting on her water pants, the two walked over together.

When I got there, I found that it was a really large piece of water celery! And it was all freshly grown, so tender and juicy.

Seeing this, Xu Han showed no signs of concealing her excitement and immediately started picking water celery.

The fragrance of the pinched water celery became stronger, and the air was instantly filled with the scent of water celery.

Just this large piece of water celery filled up three backpacks. When I got home, I just tied it into neat bundles with straw and stacked them in the space.

Since they had already crossed the river, the two of them simply continued looking for wild vegetables here.

Whether it is water celery, viola yedoensis, or even garlic chives, as long as they grow well, they will all be collected.

When Xu Han felt tired at noon, she took out food from the space, washed her hands in the river, and then found a shady place to eat lunch.

At this temperature, the sun is still very strong and the temperature is not low. When they go out to work, both of them wear single clothes.
