Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

The next morning, after Xu Han finished her housework, she took out the dried chilies from the space, cut the chilies, took out the chili seeds inside, put them in a clean bowl, and soaked them for a day, which would be good for teething!

After everything was done, we called the black spot, carried the backpack, locked the yard door, and went to dig wild vegetables!

First go to the stream to see if there is any water celery. After walking along the stream for a while, you will see a large field of water celery.

The water celery is still very tender and does not need to be picked. You can just pick up the sickle and start cutting it, picking out the impurities while cutting.

Although this is a little slower, you don’t have to spend time picking again after you get home!

After cutting this field of water celery, I carried the basket on my back and went to the foot of the mountain!

There is no other person living here, so wild vegetables are easy to find. After a while, I saw some noodle vegetables, which I dug into the backpack. They are delicious when steamed!

When it comes to steamed dishes, acacia flowers are definitely indispensable, but I didn’t smell any acacia flowers nearby!

I should go home and ask Lu Chuan! He runs in the mountains every day, so he must know more than me!

There are also many dandelions at the foot of the mountain. It is good to pick them and eat them cold or steamed. Although it is a little bitter, the taste is acceptable. This wild vegetable is also a medicinal material! It clears away heat and detoxifies, which is good for the body!

I saw wild amaranth everywhere. This was a wild vegetable that Xu Han loved to eat in her previous life! It tastes great whether it is steamed, served cold, or added to noodles.

You don't need to dig up the whole plant of Mihu Cai and take it home. You just need to pinch off the tender heads. Later, side buds will grow from the leaves, which you can pinch off again!

The more you pick them, the more addictive it becomes, just like picking mushrooms! Pick more and dry them into dried vegetables, and save them for making dumplings!

In this way, Xu Han spent the whole day digging wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain.

I didn’t even go home for lunch!

After the sun went down, Xu Han looked at the wild vegetables in the space. There were two baskets of water celery, one basket of noodles, two baskets of Pu Gu Ying, two baskets of purslane, and two baskets and a pile of mixed vegetables on the ground.

Seeing these, I nodded with satisfaction and went home!

When I got home, Lu Chuan was already back! I was packing up when I saw Xu Han come in and said, "You're back! I said I'd come to see you after I finished this! How did you get today?"

"Great! All the wild vegetables in the mountains and fields are mine, and no one will snatch them from me!"

After that, he asked again, "Do you know where to find acacia flowers? They should be blooming soon this season, and they are especially delicious when steamed! I want to pick some!"

"Yes! Over a mountain, there are many acacia trees. I passed by there today, and some of them are about to bloom!"

"Then let's go pick some tomorrow! Pick more before they bloom. Once they bloom, the fragrance will be too strong and they won't taste good anymore!"

"Okay! I'll take you to pick it tomorrow after I finish collecting the traps!" Lu Chuan replied.

For dinner, Xu Han steamed wild amaranth. Wash the wild amaranth, drain the water, mix it with white flour, and steam it directly in the pot!

While the dishes were being steamed, Xu Han prepared the seasonings that would be needed later!

Peel the garlic, mash it into garlic paste, add plenty of sesame oil, salt and MSG. When the steamed food is slightly cooler, pour the prepared sauce in and stir well.

We had rice porridge for dinner. Steamed vegetables can be eaten as staple food, and we drank it with rice porridge. I was very hungry, so I didn't make staple food.

After dinner, Xu Han took out the eggs that she had washed before dinner, prepared salt and white wine and started to pickle the eggs!

Half of the eggs are pickled in original flavor, and the other half are pickled in five-spice flavor. Put the washed eggs in white wine and roll them in salt again, so that every part is covered with salt. Put them in a jar and it's done. Seal and store for a while before eating.

For the other half of the five-spice, follow the same method. Add the five-spice powder directly into the salt and stick it on the egg!

After the two of them pickled the eggs together, they washed up and took a rest...

The next morning, Xu Han got up early, had breakfast, fed the chickens and ducks at home, and then cleared the weeds in the wasteland while waiting for Lu Chuan to come back!

At about ten o'clock, Lu Chuan came back with today's prey! After locking the gate, the two of them couldn't wait to rush to today's destination!

After walking for almost half an hour, we finally arrived at the place Lu Chuan mentioned. From a distance, we could smell the fragrance of Sophora japonica flowers, which made us relax. Our mood became better!

Without further ado, Lu Chuan took out the hook he brought with him and started hooking branches.

You cannot hook branches that are too large. Although there will be a drought next year and we don’t know if these trees can survive, we need to avoid damaging the acacia trees, for fear that we will have nothing to eat in the future!

Xu Han still told Lu Chuan to hook small branches, as only small branches had locust flowers, not large branches.

Because locust trees are covered with thorns, you must be extra careful when hooking to avoid being pricked by branches.

Lu Chuan was hooking on top, and Xu Han was waiting below. When Lu Chuan finished hooking this tree and moved on to the next one, she put the branches into the space and went home to pick them later. It would be a waste of time to pick them here!

Xu Han picked up branches and dug wild vegetables at the same time, trying not to waste any time!

At noon, the two of them ate the cakes they brought from home and drank the drinks from the refrigerator, which was quite comfortable.

After a short rest, Lu Chuan continued to draw locust flowers.

Xu Han walked around the area, looking left and right, and finally found something good: 8 eggs in the grass on the side.

Xu Han did not take all of them. She left three for the hen to continue hatching chicks, and took the remaining five away.

He returned to the locust tree and proudly showed off the pheasant eggs he had picked up to Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan also praised her enthusiastically, "How come my wife is so lucky? She can pick up pheasant eggs just by strolling around. I walk around the mountains every day and never pick any!"

Xu Han happily accepted all the flattery from Lu Chuan!

When the sun was about to set, the two went home.

When they got home, it was almost dark. Xu Han hurried to make dinner!

I took out some fresh acacia flowers from the space and planned to have steamed vegetables tonight. If I steam more, I can stir-fry them tomorrow.

Nowadays, locust flowers can only be eaten once a year, and only for a few days at a time, and they are very expensive to buy.

Fortunately, I have space now, so I can pick more and put them in the space to eat slowly. Tomorrow I can dry some locust flowers and save them for making tea!

It is also very delicious, with a fresh fragrance, much better than boiled water!
