Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

The next morning, after breakfast, they took out the dried bamboo shoots to continue drying. They called Heifeng and Heidian, and they went out to pick mushrooms!

This time, Lu Chuan took Xu Han deeper into the mountains. Maybe because there were many trees in the mountains, the road was still a little wet, otherwise the mushrooms would have really gone bad.

The two walked for two quarters of an hour and came to a forest with tall trees. The rotten leaves here were very thick, which was suitable for mushroom growth. There should be a lot of mushrooms...

As soon as she walked in, Xu Han noticed a dead tree covered with dense wood ears, and quickly called Lu Chuan.

The two of them each carried a basket and began to pick. Soon, the baskets were full and they were directly dumped into the large backpack in the space. Continue to the next round of battle!

There is no need to move the wooden stakes back home. This place is not far from home and no one comes here, so there is no need to worry about being discovered by others!

Just leave it here to continue growing and come back to pick it next time it rains.

The two of them came prepared today, bringing all the baskets from home. They sorted the baskets when they picked them up, and then just hung them up to dry when they got home. They didn't need to sort them again! This saved a lot of time.

I continued walking forward and found a lot of chanterelles next to a small bush. I started picking them up again.

Picking mushrooms is really addictive. I can’t stop at all. I just keep walking forward with my head down. There are many chanterelles around.

After a while, it was getting farther and farther away, luckily the black spot was following me.

Otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to stay too far away from Lu Chuan. After all, it's spring now and snakes, insects, rats and ants are all out.

Lu Chuan saw Xu Han walking further and further away, and he didn't follow closely. There was a black spot!

If he encounters a dangerous black spot, he will bark! But he will not let Xu Han out of his sight.

I kept picking up things like this until noon. The five backpacks in the space were all full, and I had almost picked up everything around.

The two found a rock to sit down on and rest while eating.

We ate the mushrooms that we fried yesterday and the beef brisket that we cooked a few days ago. The staple food was white rice. Of course, there was also the chicken soup that we prepared in advance.

Xu Han has one meat, one vegetable and a soup with almost every meal!

All the dishes are made according to the appetite of two people. Generally, there will be no leftovers. The leftovers will be saved for Heifeng Heidian to eat with rice. In short, nothing will be wasted!

After lunch, Lu Chuan took Xu Han to a new place and found a lot of morels in the woods, which made Xu Han very happy!

Morels are so expensive nowadays that we don’t even want to eat them! There are so many of them here, wouldn’t we be rich?

He took out a fruit knife from the space and started picking morels, while Lu Chuan used his own dagger, which made Xu Han look resentful...

Lu Chuan saw Xu Han's expression and couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, let's exchange. I have two more at home. I'll give them to you when I get home. You can keep them for self-defense."

After hearing what Lu Chuan said, Xu Han became happy and said, "That's good enough. You have a conscience!"

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to pick morels...

Lu Chuan just smiled and let Xu Han play around!

I turned around and came to a tree stump, where I saw that it was covered with fleshy oyster mushrooms, big and meaty. It was a good time to pick them!

Xu Han picked them all without hesitation and put them into the space. The mushrooms from this big tree could not even fill up a basket. These could be eaten for several meals.

They waited until the sun was about to set before they stopped and prepared to leave. Today's harvest was truly fruitful!

Almost all the mushrooms nearby have been picked. If they continue picking, they will have to go to a farther place. The two plan to put the mushroom picking on hold and start clearing the land tomorrow.

The weather is getting warmer, so we need to quickly open up the wasteland so that we can grow crops!

After returning home! First put the dried bamboo shoots in the warehouse. We will continue to dry them tomorrow. They are not dry yet!

But looking at the winter bamboo shoots that have shrunk by half, I can't help but feel sad. They haven't even been dried yet and half of them are gone.

Collect the dried bamboo shoots and leave the bamboo mat empty for drying mushrooms tomorrow.

If you remove the skin of 6000 kilograms of winter bamboo shoots and dry them in the sun, about 600 kilograms will be left.

Now there are only four garbage bags of fresh bamboo shoots left in the space. I have peeled them all. I will keep them for eating fresh! If you want to eat more, wait until winter to dig them!

The winter drought hasn’t started yet! We should be able to dig them up, but spring bamboo shoots may not be available!

After collecting things, take out the oyster mushrooms and tear them into small pieces. Blanch them in water to remove the odor of the mushrooms. Then take out the garlic sprouts in the refrigerator and make some mushrooms fried with garlic sprouts!

This was Xu Han's favorite dish when she was in modern times! She would often cook it herself.

Let's cook another soup. Today, I won't drink salty soup. I'll make a simple white flour corn paste (a little thinner than porridge! People in Henan, Shandong, and northern Anhui will drink porridge sooner or later!)

First take out a fresh corn from the space, peel out the corn kernels, wash them and put them in the pot, then add a little rice into the pot.

Put the bamboo grate in the pot, and you can heat up the staple food while making the porridge. Put the steamed buns and eggs on the grate, and this will be the staple food for tonight.

After adding water and bringing it to a boil, add the mixed white flour to the water to make it a slightly thinner soup. Pour it into the pot and stir quickly to allow the water and white flour to mix evenly. You can drink it when the pot boils.

When I was at home, my mother would make this in the morning and evening. She would put different ingredients in the porridge and the resulting porridge would be different.

The porridge made from corn and rice is sweet and has a fresh scent of corn! Very delicious!

After having dinner together, the two began to discuss the land reclamation for tomorrow.

"Let's cut down all the weeds and shrubs tomorrow. The weeds are dry now and can be burned directly. The ash can also be used as fertilizer." Lu Chuan said.

"Let's clear the wasteland on the east side of the road first! The potatoes are about to sprout! Plant them first. The growth cycle is short, so we can plant more crops!"

"The sweet potatoes have already sprouted and can be transplanted soon. Corn and potatoes can take a little longer!" Xu Han replied.

Lu Chuan had no objection to this and nodded in agreement with Xu Han's proposal.

After dinner, Lu Chuan sorted out the tools that would be needed for tomorrow's land reclamation, while Xu Han continued to make her own shoes!

With the flashlight, the two of them won’t go to bed too early now, and will probably go to bed around nine o’clock!

After all, the night is very long. I woke up before dawn and could only lie there and do nothing. It would be better to work overtime at night and do something!

After finishing everything, Lu Chuan went to boil water for a bath, while Xu Han was busy making shoes. She didn't get up to wash until both soles were done.

After washing up, I sit in front of the dressing table and start taking care of my skin. I run outside every day and my skin is very dry due to the wind!

Xu Han now insists on taking care of her skin every night as long as she has time!
