Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

The weather is getting hotter and hotter now. At noon, Xu Han plans to make garlic noodles!

Knead the dough first, set it aside to rise for a while, and then you can roll it into noodles directly.

First, let’s prepare the soup for the garlic noodles. Take out the freshly picked tomatoes today, wash them, put them in the pot to stir-fry the tomato juice, add water and bring to a boil.

While the water is boiling, take out the wild amaranth, clean it, and put it in the soup later. It is especially delicious! Then take out eight eggs, beat them into egg liquid, and set them aside for later use.

Take out a few cucumbers, wash them and cut them into thin strips, as well as the shepherd's purse, which is essential for eating garlic noodles. Prepare everything and set aside.

Peel a few heads of garlic and mash it into garlic paste. This will be used to add to the noodles as a seasoning.

After the pot is boiling, pour the egg liquid into the pot, put the wild amaranth, add seasoning, adjust the taste, scoop it out and put it in a large bowl. Let it cool and set aside.

The soup is ready, now start rolling the noodles into a large sheet, then fold it up and cut it into thin strips.

Boil water in a pot, and when the water boils, add the noodles and start cooking. When cooked, scoop them out into a basin filled with cold water to cool them down to prevent the noodles from clumping together.

After finishing all this, Lu Chuan also came back.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter. The sun outside is so bright!" Lu Chuan said as he walked into the kitchen.

"It's hot today, so I made some garlic noodles to cool off!"

"What are garlic noodles? I haven't tried them yet!"

"You'll know in a moment," Xu Han said as she scooped the noodles into the soup and added cucumber shreds, shepherd's purse, sesame oil and garlic juice.

Stir well and you can start eating. The first bite is very cold and refreshing, and even the soup is delicious.

Xu Han cooked a lot today, enough for two or three meals.

"This is delicious. It's the most comfortable to eat in summer. It improves my appetite a lot!"

"Yeah! I like it too! Then I will make it often in the future."

After eating, the two of them took a nap. The days were getting longer and longer. It was light around 5 in the morning, and dark around 7 or 8 in the evening! If you don't take a nap at noon, you won't have the energy to work in the afternoon.

After waking up, Xu Han continued to cook bamboo shoots. It was hot now, and cooking bamboo shoots was not an easy job!

Although I don’t have to stay in the kitchen all the time, the fire is always burning in the kitchen, and I come out sweating every time I go in!

While cooking the bamboo shoots, Xu Han went to the backyard to weed and water the plants.

We are so busy, so just have a simple dinner!

The next day, Lu Chuan went to collect the game and fish baskets as usual, while Xu Han sorted out the housework and cooked bamboo shoots. They had not finished cooking yesterday, so they had to continue cooking today.

There was a bag of pickled peppers in her refrigerator. Xu Han took out the bamboo shoots that had been soaked in water yesterday and drained the water so that she could make some pickled pepper bamboo shoots to eat later.

Slice the ginger and garlic, add a little bit of chili, put them into the jar together with the bamboo shoots that have been drained of water, then add a certain proportion of boiled water, put it in the cellar, and seal it for storage.

After Lu Chuan came back from collecting the traps, he took the hatchet and went to chop wood. In the evening, Xu Han went to collect the firewood.

In the afternoon, Xu Han picked mulberries and cooked bamboo shoots. After this period of hard work, everything in the space was finally cleared.

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, but there is no glutinous rice at home, so I can’t make rice dumplings. It seems I have to go to the county town.

When the sun was about to set, Xu Han went to the mountain to find Lu Chuan and put all the firewood that Lu Chuan had chopped today into the space. She didn't finish collecting it in one trip, so she went again.

The newly chopped firewood was still wet and could not be burned directly, so Xu Han put them all in the open space at the gate and waited for them to dry before putting them in the woodshed.

During dinner, Xu Han told Lu Chuan about her recent plan to go to the county town, and Lu Chuan agreed immediately without saying a word.

The tiger I killed last time is still in my space! I can sell it when I go to the county town.

So he said, "Why don't we go tomorrow? There are only a few days left until the Dragon Boat Festival!"

"Okay! Then call me early tomorrow so we can go early and come back early!"

Another good night's sleep...

The next morning, just after daybreak, after Lu Chuan had fed the chickens and ducks, he called Xu Han to get up.

The two of them set off without even having breakfast. It would be the same if they ate on the road! Let's hurry on!

After entering the county town, I went to the market as usual. There was beef for sale today, so I bought another 10 kilograms.

I said before that I was going to hunt cattle, but because of what happened last time, I was afraid of any danger, so I kept delaying it until now.

For safety reasons, we can only wait for a while.

I even saw some seafood sellers along the way. I asked Lu Chuan about it, and he said it was not very common here, and it was only seen during festivals.

When Xu Han heard this, she knew she definitely couldn’t miss it!

Dried shrimp, dried fish, seaweed, kelp, and all kinds of dried shellfish! I spent a total of four taels of silver and bought a lot of things!

Seeing people buying peaches again, Xu Han bought them all, filling four large backpacks, and spent a total of 300 coins.

两人又来到了之前去过得两家粮铺，用同样的方法又一共买了1000斤大米、1000斤白面、3000斤黑面、1000斤玉米面、还有600斤糯米。

This time I spent a total of 62 taels and 800 wen. Given the low production of glutinous rice, a pound of glutinous rice is 3 wen more expensive than a pound of rice!

Now we have a total of 500 kilograms of food. I don’t know how many babies Black Spot will give birth to, and the food we have now is definitely not enough for them to eat!

After buying the food, the two went to the pharmacy and the restaurant to sell the tiger. They sold the tiger penis, tiger bones, tiger meat and tiger skin, and made a total of 182 taels of silver.

He also bought 500 kilograms of dried bamboo shoots and got 5 taels of silver.

After selling these, Xu Han went to the grocery store again. She planned to make some fruit wine later, so she bought a few more large jars. There were also small jars for making jam.

I ordered 10 jars, but it still wasn't enough, so I bought 600 medium jars. I spent coins in total.

After buying these things, he went to the tavern and bought 200 kilograms of liquor, spending 10 taels of silver.

I spent about 79 taels of silver buying so many things today. Adding the money from selling tigers and dried bamboo shoots, I still have about 292 taels of silver.

Hahahaha, this is really great. After buying so many things, I actually have more money than before.

It seems that Lu Chuan won’t have to go hunting and sell animals in the autumn. The silver is enough for the two of them to live a good life!

I don't have to be stingy when buying things in the future. Within my ability, Xu Han still hopes that my quality of life can be good. At least I can't let myself down.

Maybe this amount of money cannot even buy a small house in the county town, but for Lu Chuan and Xu Han, it is enough for them to survive this disaster year!
