Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

The next morning, after Xu Han got up, had breakfast, and finished today’s housework, she took her backpack and went to the backyard to pick vegetables!

First, pick the cucumbers, which are at their freshest. Although there are many cucumbers planted, I only picked a basketful of them the first time.

Don’t worry, cucumbers grow fast and you can pick them again in two or three days.

After picking the cucumbers, continue picking the green vegetables that were planted previously, including Shanghai greens, lettuce, spinach, cream cabbage, etc.

There are so many of them. This time we have a bumper harvest of vegetables.

After harvesting the greens, I started cutting leeks and shallots! These two things grow very fast! I harvested quite a lot.

Tomatoes and melons are not ripe yet, but in a few days there will be some red tomatoes! Then we can pick them!

After all the fruits are picked, replant the remaining space with vegetables.

You can no longer interplant vegetables. The seedlings have grown up, and if you continue to interplant the vegetables, they won’t see the sun and won’t grow well!

After finishing, it was already time for lunch. Lu Chuan usually didn't come back for lunch, and Xu Han couldn't eat much herself, so she just took some food from the space and didn't cook!

In the afternoon, Xu Han tied up the vegetables and other things in the space with straw ropes and placed them directly in the space, which did not take up much space!

After finishing, seeing that there was still time, Xu Han planned to pickle some cucumbers to eat with the porridge!

First, cut the cucumber into strips as long and wide as your fingers, use more salt and less sugar to pickle out excess moisture!

Let’s take advantage of this time to make some sauce for pickled cucumbers.

Add light soy sauce, vinegar and water into the pot in a certain proportion, then add a little rock sugar, pepper and star anise, bring to a boil over high heat, let cool and set aside.

Cut the ginger, garlic and chili into slices and set aside.

After half an hour, squeeze out the water from the pickled cucumbers, put them together with the other ingredients into a water- and oil-free jar, add the cooled sauce until it covers the cucumbers, and seal it for storage.

This pickled cucumber is delicious and it takes very little time to pickle. You can eat it tomorrow.

What I made today is a small jar. Because there is not enough light soy sauce, the amount made at one time is very small. If you need to make more, you have to make it separately!

It doesn’t matter. If you have enough time, you can make it a few more times and have enough to eat for several years!

This cannot be placed in the space, because it needs to be pickled, and time in the space is static, so it cannot be pickled. Put it in a cool and dry place, and wait until it is pickled, and then put it in the space.

After finishing all these, Lu Chuan also came back. Today he hunted three pheasants, five rabbits, and a wild duck!

It has been a long time since we last had duck, so we both decided to cook a duck tonight!

While Lu Chuan processed the prey, Xu Han continued to make pickled bamboo shoots and sauerkraut.

First, let’s pickle the bamboo shoots. Wash the peeled bamboo shoots, drain the water, cut them into shreds, boil a pot of water, add a little salt, let it cool, and then pour it into the jar.

Try pickling a large jar first, and then continue pickling after a while.

After pickling the bamboo shoots, start pickling sauerkraut. We don’t have cabbage or mustard greens now, but we have a lot of Shanghai greens that we just harvested, which can also be used to make quick sauerkraut.

Similarly, boil a pot of water and put the Shanghai greens into the pot. Blanch them slightly until they are softened, but don't blanch them for too long, otherwise they will not be crispy.

After blanching, put it into a water-free and oil-free jar, then add the water used to blanch the vegetables into it, covering the vegetables. If you want to eat it quickly, you can add a little vinegar.

While making pickled cabbage, Xu Han suddenly remembered that she had never eaten fish since she came here. There were a few frozen shrimps in her space, but they were few, not enough to make a plate!

Oh! I haven't eaten fish and shrimp for a long time. I remember Lu Chuan said there were small shrimps in the river. I wonder if there are fish. It seems I have to ask Lu Chuan.

When the time comes, take some time to bring some back. Pickled fish, boiled fish, grilled fish and fish soup are all delicious!

After making the sauerkraut, it’s time to make dinner!

Lu Chuan helped chop the duck into small pieces. Today, we plan to make a beer duck! It is especially delicious with bamboo shoots in it!

First, blanch the chopped duck to remove the blood foam, clean it and put it into the pot to stir-fry! When it turns golden brown and the fat in the duck is fried out, add two cans of beer.

Speaking of which, Xu Han has never given this beer to Lu Chuan! I never thought about it. If I hadn't seen the duck today, I would have forgotten that there were two cans of beer in the refrigerator!

This is what Xu Han brought back after drinking with friends!

After adding the beer, put in the dried bamboo shoots that have been soaked in hot water in advance. Dried bamboo shoots taste better than fresh ones!

After the beer duck was ready, Xu Han took out the fast-growing cabbage that she had just harvested today and stir-fried it!

The staple food is white flour buns and seaweed egg drop soup!

Such delicious food cannot be accompanied by drinks. We have run out of beer today, otherwise we could have some more!

After dinner, the two of them slumped in their chairs, having eaten too much again!

Xu Han said, "Where did you hunt the wild duck? Duck is delicious. It is also delicious when pickled, boiled or eaten cold. Do you have any wild duck eggs?"

"I just happened to meet you today. I know there is a flock of ducks in a reed marsh. Now is the time when ducks love to lay eggs. I'll take you to see it tomorrow!"

"Okay! Then we can catch more ducks and store them!" After saying this, he asked:

"Are there any fish in the river? I haven't eaten fish in a long time!"

"Why eat that? It doesn't taste good and smells like mud!"

"That's because you don't know how to cook. The fish I cook is delicious! Boiled fish, pickled fish, braised fish, etc. are all delicious! Pickled fish made into spicy fish cubes is also delicious!"

Hearing Xu Han say this, Lu Chuan reacted instantly, yes! The fish cooked by ordinary people is not delicious, it is smelly and fishy, ​​only the fish cooked by the chef in the restaurant is delicious!

I can't cook, but my wife is a great cook! Why didn't I think of it?

"I almost forgot that my wife is the best cook. How could she not cook fish well?" Lu Chuan said to Xu Han in a flattering manner.

"Then I'll make a few fish baskets and put them in when I go out tomorrow, and I can collect them when I come back!"

"Okay, then you go ahead and make it up! I'll go wash the dishes!"

Lu Chuan usually washes the dishes! Today it was getting late, so Xu Han asked Lu Chuan to make the fish basket while she washed the dishes.

After Xu Han finished washing the dishes, Lu Chuan had already chopped the bamboo. Seeing that he could not help, he turned around and went to the bathroom to take a shower!

After taking a shower, Lu Chuan was still weaving, while Xu Han took out mulberry branches and started picking mulberries.
