Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

When I get home, I take out the mushrooms from the space to dry out the moisture, and then put them back into the house at night!

It was still early today, the weather was gradually getting warmer, and it was getting dark a little later, so the two of them were not in a hurry to cook and went to plant the sweet potatoes first.

I went to the backyard, cut the sweet potato vines, stacked them neatly, put them in a backpack, and then took them to the wasteland outside the yard to plant them.

After two days of drying, the road surface is no longer muddy, but it is not completely dry yet. Now is the perfect time to plant sweet potatoes!

Lu Chuan was raising ridges in front, while Xu Han was digging a hole in the back. The ground was very soft, so he picked up a small hoe and gently dug a hole! He then placed the sweet potato seedlings flat on their backs!

Cover it with soil, compact it lightly, and water it after a while! After Lu Chuan finished making ridges, he asked Xu Han to take out the large water tank in the space and start to use a wooden bucket to draw water and water it.

This big water tank is the one in the backyard. Since water keeps flowing into it, the tank is almost always full.

Just now when Xu Han came out of the backyard, he casually put the water tank into the space and placed another water tank there to continue collecting water.

This saves time on fetching water, which is so convenient!

The most important thing is that I feel much more relaxed. Lu Chuan is envious of this scene...

When it was getting dark, Xu Han and Lu Chuan got up and went home. They took out the dumplings they had made earlier, boiled them, and made some garlic sauce. The two of them ate happily...

After dinner, Xu Han was preparing to apply a facial mask. In modern times, Xu Han didn’t like to do beauty treatments very much, and she would apply a facial mask depending on her mood.

But after coming here, I look at my rough skin and chapped lips every day. I have to endure the fatigue at night and insist on taking care of my skin. At the very least, I have to insist on applying lotion and lotion. I will definitely no longer be lazy like I was in modern times!

While applying the facial mask, she asked Lu Chuan what else he needed to buy when he went to the county town tomorrow...

Yes, the two of them planned to go to the county town tomorrow to buy some food, as well as leek roots, ginger seeds, and jars, while the land was not particularly easy to cultivate.

After buying everything they needed recently, the two of them didn't plan to go to the county town in the near future.

A dreamless night...

The next morning, the two got up early, had breakfast, and started on their way. When they arrived at the county town, it was still early, so they went to the market to see if there was any beef available. Xu Han still couldn't get used to pork, so she thought about selling the bacon at home, exchanging it for money to buy more beef...

Maybe it was a coincidence, I didn’t see any beef being sold after walking around, but I saw some mutton being sold.

There are also some places selling mutton which are quite good. When the weather is hot, you can grill mutton skewers in the yard in the evening. It is delicious and comfortable!

Mutton was 25 wen per pound, so Xu Han was generous enough to buy half a lamb, 23 pounds, for a total of 575 wen. When he saw some processed mutton offal, he also ordered some, spending a total of 600 wen.

I won't be going to the county town recently, so I'll buy more and keep them in the space so they won't go bad! I can save them and eat them slowly later.

The two of them came to Manxianglou, where Lu Chuan often came to sell his game. When Shopkeeper Li saw Lu Chuan coming, he hurried out to greet him and asked with a smile:

"Brother Lu, you haven't been here for a long time! What good things have you brought to our restaurant today? Don't you know that the guests in the restaurant have been clamoring to eat game recently? It's been a long time since I saw you selling game!"

"Spring is the time for animals to breed. Recently, I have been resting at home and have not gone hunting."

When Shopkeeper Li heard this, he immediately looked bitter.

"But I brought some bacon today. I wonder if Shopkeeper Li will accept it?"

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Li laughed and said, "Yes! Yes! How much is there? I want them all." Shopkeeper Li knew that Lu Chuan's bacon was also made of wild boar meat. Those rich people loved it and it must not be missed.

"Not much, just about a hundred pounds!" Lu Chuan replied.

When Shopkeeper Li heard this, he was so happy that his heart burst into tears. This was not a lot. Which ordinary family would have over a hundred kilograms of bacon?

The smile on his face could not be concealed. "I'll charge you 38 wen per pound, brother Lu. What do you think?"

When Lu Chuan heard the price, he thought it was fair. Ordinary pork was 15 cents per pound, wild boar meat was 18 cents, and bacon had a lot less water than fresh pork. It took about one pound of fresh meat to be pickled into about half a pound of bacon. The price was reasonable!

So he said to Shopkeeper Li, "Listen to Shopkeeper Li, and weigh it!"

A total of 112 kilograms were sold for a total of 4256 coins.

Before leaving, Xu Han asked Manager Li if he would buy dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms. Manager Li replied, "Yes, 10 cents for a pound of bamboo shoots and 12 cents for a pound of mushrooms. These dried goods are often used in restaurants and are in great demand. If you have extra, you can bring them here to sell. Xu Han's goods will be given priority."

When Xu Han heard this, she quickly expressed her gratitude to Shopkeeper Li and said that she would bring some over next time she came.

After leaving the restaurant, they went to the grocery store and bought some jars for making pickles and preserved vegetables. They bought 5 small jars, 8 medium jars, and 3 large jars. They spent a total of 360 coins.

Then I went to the roast chicken shop next door and bought 10 roast chickens at a time, spending a total of 390 coins.

I went to the snack shop again and bought some dried fruits and candied fruits, which cost me 280 wen in total. I thought that when the fruits come in season, I will make some myself. These are too expensive!

两人又来到了一个新的粮店，买了500斤白面、600斤大米、1000斤黑面。一共又买了2100斤粮食，共花了21两银子。

After buying these, the two men left the county town. When they passed by a village, they went in and bought some leek roots, a whole basket full of them, which were collected from several families. They were all fresh and had just been dug out. They spent a total of 30 cents.

Normally, farmers would just ask for some from other people in the village, and no one would spend money to buy this, but someone actually spent money to buy leek roots. Of course they were selling it! This money was like picking it up for free!

After buying the leek roots, I also bought two baskets of ginger! I spent 100 coins. Every household grows some ginger. In the cold winter or after the rain, they will make a bowl of ginger tea to drink to get rid of the cold and prevent colds!

This time I came to the county town to buy things and spent a total of 18 liang 504 wen, plus the money from selling bacon. Now I have about 166 liang left, and fortunately, I have 2100 kilograms of grain.

Now there are 3600 kilograms of food in total. The food I bought recently has not been touched. All I eat is the food Lu Chuan bought before. There is still some left, which is enough for a while.
