Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Xu Han fell asleep again in a daze, but Lu Chuan beside her could no longer fall asleep! Looking at the person in his arms, he sighed helplessly...

When she woke up again, it was already mid-morning. Xu Han put on her clothes, got out of bed, and saw that it was still drizzling outside the window.

When I came to the kitchen, I saw Lu Chuan preparing a pheasant, which must have been hunted by Heifeng and Heidian.

"You're awake, there's rice in the pot, and it's still hot!"

"Okay, I'm going to wash up first."

After washing up, Xu Han went to the kitchen. They had been eating all their meals in the kitchen recently. With two people eating together, they didn't have to carry food back and forth.

While eating eggs! Xu Han suddenly said, "There are about three pounds of beef left in the space. Let's make dumplings! I haven't eaten them for a long time!"

"Okay! Take it out and I'll chop the stuffing!"

Xu Han gave the beef to Lu Chuan, and Lu Chuan took it to wash it.

First, simply soak the blood in water. While soaking in the blood, prepare some side dishes. Unfortunately, there is no celery. The ones I grow at home are still very small, not even as big as coriander. I can only make dumplings stuffed with beef and cabbage!

There isn't much cabbage left, and it will be gone after we finish eating it.

Wash the remaining cabbage, and then wash the onion and ginger and drain the water.

Lu Chuan started to chop the meat filling. He first chopped the meat into minced meat, then added the chopped green onion, ginger and cabbage, and continued chopping until it became a sticky dumpling filling!

After Xu Han finished her breakfast, she started to knead the dough. After kneading the dough, she put it aside to rise for a while so that the dumpling skin would be chewier.

Turn around and start to season the meat filling, add salt, chicken essence, pepper powder, thirteen spices, MSG, pepper and other seasonings, then add a little water to make the meat filling a little softer, then add more sesame oil, the aroma of the meat filling will come out instantly.

Xu Han smelled it and nodded with satisfaction.

Then take out the dough again, divide a small half of it, knead it into a pancake, make a hole in the middle, turn it around, and make it into a big collar.

Pinch it off, then roll it into long strips, cut it into even pieces, roll out a few dumpling wrappers, and teach Lu Chuan how to make dumplings.

Finally, Lu Chuan rolled the dumpling wrappers and Xu Han was responsible for making the dumplings. However, Lu Chuan’s dumplings were so ugly!

Place the wrapped dumplings on the wax paper and put them away when they are full.

With so much filling, the dumplings are enough for two people to eat for many meals!

It took the two of them two hours to finish wrapping the dumplings, and Xu Han even kneaded the dough again in the middle!

Finally, there was a little dough left, and Xu Han directly asked Lu Chuan to roll it into noodles and put it in the space!

Lu Chuan also cooked dumplings for lunch. It has to be said that after such a long period of training, Lu Chuan’s cooking skills still haven’t improved much. He still has no problem boiling food, but forget about stir-frying!

Looking at the full pile of dumplings on the bamboo rack, ignoring the sore arms, I was still very happy!

After making the dumplings, Xu Han continued to make a new set of clothes, while Lu Chuan used the remaining bamboo at home to weave a few backpacks.

This way, when the rain stops, we can pick mushrooms! The baskets at home were not enough before! It takes up too much space if we put them in the space!

This time we made a few more backpacks, which will be more convenient to use!

By dinner time, Xu Han had already made new clothes! Now she had two sets of clothes that she could change into.

Next, I will continue to make shoes for two people. Shoes wear out faster, so I will make more when I have time!

The next morning, the sun was out! The rain wasn't heavy these past two days, but it lasted for a long time, so the ground was still very wet!

Now it is difficult to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms. The road is muddy! It has just rained and we can't open up the land. We can only rest at home for another day.

Xu Han continued to make shoes, trying to make two pairs today, one pair for each of them. Lu Chuan followed Xu Han's request and made a bamboo wooden frame for the family to use in the warehouse.

Make a shoe rack and put it at the door. When you come back from outside, you can change your dirty shoes before entering the house, so as to avoid making the house full of mud! It is not easy to clean.

The two of them were busy with their own things, which seemed very warm! Since coming here, Xu Han has never been idle. There are always endless things to do, and every day is very fulfilling.

Unlike in modern times, apart from going to and from get off work, people just lie down at home. When they can’t lie down anymore, they get up and do some handicrafts to kill the boring time!

There is no boring time here! Even on rainy days, we have to think about making clothes and shoes, otherwise we will have nothing to wear.

No wonder I often hear grandma say that people in the past were busy all year round! Busy with clothes, clothing, housing and transportation! Just to make their families live a better life.

Isn't that the case now? I have to do everything myself, so I don't have time to relax!

Just like this, another day passed, and Xu Han finished making two pairs of shoes as she wished. From now on, she no longer needs to do needlework every night!

The next morning, after breakfast, the two went up the mountain early to pick mushrooms.

I went to the same place as last time and picked the mushrooms here first.

I don’t plan to go further to pick mushrooms in the near future. I have to finish clearing the land first, and then pick mushrooms. If I pick a lot, I will take them to the county town to exchange for money to buy daily necessities.

At that time, you can dry more bamboo shoots, exchange them for silver, buy some fruits and put them in the space.

Not all fruits are available in the space, only some fruits suitable for winter. You can buy more different fruits in the county town and keep them for a change of taste.

This time the rain lasted for quite a long time, and the mushrooms were nourished for a long time and grew very plump. The two of them picked eight baskets of mushrooms in just one morning!

After a simple lunch, we moved to another position and continued the battle, picking the fruits one by one. We couldn't stop at all. It was as if there was some kind of magic that kept attracting us to pick the fruits.

Just like that, after the sun went down, the two returned home with a full load. Looking at the ten full backpacks in the space and the piles of mushrooms on the ground, they felt tired but happy.

After picking mushrooms for two days in a row, there were no more mushrooms nearby by mid-afternoon, so the two decided to go back early!

This time we picked one third more mushrooms than last time. Last time, we only had about 70 kilograms of dried mushrooms, but this time we can produce almost kilograms of dried mushrooms.

On the way back, I took a detour to the bamboo forest. It is almost mid-March now, and I wanted to see if the spring bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest have come out.

When they arrived at the bamboo forest, they saw the pointed bamboo shoots. However, they were not very big yet and looked like they had just emerged not long ago.

Seeing the current size of the spring bamboo shoots, I estimated that we can come and dig them in two days.

So the two returned home, planning to go dig spring bamboo shoots and make them into dried bamboo shoots!
