Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

The days passed one by one, and before the blink of an eye it was already mid-May.

Today Xu Han and Lu Chuan need to harvest the wheat planted in the wasteland.

The mature wheat is golden and looks particularly pleasing to the eye, but due to the drought, the wheat ears are not very full and there are many empty grains.

Xu Han rubbed a head of wheat with her hands, blew away the husks and took a look. She found that nearly a quarter of the grains were missing from the ear, and some of the grains were not very full.

This is the amount we can harvest only by watering the crops every day. In comparison, the harvest down the mountain may not be that much!

"There are many empty husks in the wheat ears this year, and I don't know how much grain we can harvest in the end." Xu Han said, looking at the wheat grains in his hand.

"Let's harvest the wheat first! Based on our experience in harvesting green wheat, we estimate that the harvest will be about a quarter less." Lu Chuan said.

Yes, during this period of time, the two of them have already rubbed out the green wheat, and also used the green wheat to grind it. That is, they put the green wheat into the millstone and used a stone mill to grind it into strips. It is very delicious.

This is also a seasonal snack. It can only be eaten during this period of time every year. It will be gone after the wheat is ripe.

Xu Han not only made wheat threshing, but also made wheat kernel porridge with wheat kernels, which was also very fragrant and delicious, with a sweet taste of wheat.

After hearing what Lu Chuan said, Xu Han did not hesitate, picked up the sickle and started to cut the wheat.

Hold the wheat straw in one hand and use the other hand to cut the wheat straw with a sickle. Put the cut straw together and go home with good luck later.

There is not much wheat planted at home, and some green wheat kernels have been harvested last time, so there is even less mature wheat.

The two of them were harvesting wheat together until about eleven o'clock. Lu Chuan and Xu Han forced themselves to finish harvesting all the wheat and transport it back home.

When they got home, they were both sweating all over. Xu Han first took a hot shower and changed into clean clothes, then sat down and drank a glass of cold water to rest.

When Lu Chuan saw Xu Han coming back, he also went to take a shower. It was such a hot day and he was sweating all over. If he didn't take a shower, his body would feel sore in a short while.

After taking a shower, the two of them didn't want to cook. The weather was so hot that they couldn't eat. So Xu Han took out the pea jelly that she had prepared in advance from the space, added lots of chili and vinegar, and it tasted particularly appetizing.

After lunch, the two sat for a while and then went to the room to take a nap.

Lu Chuan and Xu Han slept until after three o'clock, but the sun was still very strong outside, so they couldn't go out to work. They could only wait and go out to work when the sun was about to set.

"Let's go dig the garlic first! We probably won't be able to finish it this afternoon." Lu Chuan said.

"Okay, this afternoon we not only have to dig the garlic, but we also have to water the vegetables! It's time to dig the potatoes too. The potato vines have completely dried up. If we don't dig them out soon, they'll sprout."

"Well, take it step by step. There's no rush. You can't keep working outside in such hot weather. It will be very uncomfortable if you get heatstroke." Lu Chuan said.

"Okay, at worst we can just get up earlier these few days and do more work when the sun isn't out. When it's hot we can hide inside the house. Anyway we have ice cubes, and the house isn't that hot."

"You go get some water later, I'll stay and dig the garlic. This vegetable needs watering every day now. If you don't water it for a day, it will wilt."

"Well! Let's go dig garlic together first!"

Finally, around 4:30, the sun was not so scorching, and Lu Chuan and Xu Han walked out of the yard together and headed towards the garlic field.

When they arrived at the place, Xu Han took out a small shovel and started digging garlic. Don't use the large claws to dig, because the garlic dug out will easily rot. The two of them were not in such a hurry to do these tasks. The garlic would not rot in the ground for a while, so just use the small shovel to dig it slowly!

Xu Han and Lu Chuan sat on small stools and dug one shovel at a time, and they dug quite quickly.

When you get tired of digging, just sit on a chair and use scissors to cut the garlic sprouts and garlic whiskers. This way you can rest and work at the same time.

The two were busy until about six o'clock, and then Xu Han went to the waterfall to fetch water.

After watering, Lu Chuan took the corn and used a stone roller to remove the kernels before it got completely dark.

Yumi pulled the stone roller and walked on the spread wheat straw, pressing it as he walked. Xu Han followed behind and picked up the flattened wheat straw with a fork and turned it over again to make it easier for Yumi to press it again.

This process needs to be repeated several times until all the wheat grains are pressed out.

Then the wheat grains underneath were swept out and the wheat straw was piled aside to be used as food for the corn.

There are still a lot of wheat husks on the swept wheat grains. When they are blown up by the evening breeze, the husks are blown away, leaving only clean wheat grains.

Today's dinner was late. After dinner, the two of them continued to process the garlic they had dug up.

I slept a lot during the day, but I'm not sleepy yet! It's a good time to do some work while the weather is cool.

Process the garlic thoroughly, put it directly into a sack, and then store it in the cellar.

When the weather gets cold, garlic will sprout. You can put it in a space before it sprouts. The temperature in the cellar is quite low, so it will sprout later.

I repeated the busy routine for a few days, and in the blink of an eye it was already May 25th.

During this period, Lu Chuan did not go hunting. He helped Xu Han with household chores, mainly watering the vegetables every day, which was indeed very time-consuming.

During these few days, the two of them not only harvested all the garlic, but also harvested all the potatoes.

When I have free time, I go to the river to wash potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, etc., and try to wash all the muddy things while there is still water.

Avoid wasting water to clean these things in the future. If they are not washed clean, they will be covered in mud and cannot be eaten directly!

Today Lu Chuan and Xu Han have a particularly important task, which is to dig up all the onions planted before the New Year and preserve them.

This is as simple as digging garlic. Just cut off the onion seedlings after digging out the onions, leaving only the edible part of the onion head.

The processed onions are also stored in the cellar first. The onions will not go bad for a long time if stored well, and they are particularly durable.

Xu Han said as she dug onions, "After we harvest all the onions, we can probably harvest the corn and soybeans. After we harvest all of these, there won't be much left that needs watering every day."
