Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

I don't seek great wealth or honor, being content with a small fortune is the happiest thing.

When the two returned home, it was still early. Lu Chuan continued to cut some suitable trees near his home to use as firewood! Xu Han went to weed in the wasteland outside.

She was busy until dark. After returning home in the evening, Xu Han started to prepare dinner.

First take out the mutton and cut it into pieces of appropriate size. Add barbecue seasoning and green onions, ginger, and onions and marinate. After a while, you can grill and eat it.

Take advantage of this time to take out other dishes suitable for barbecue in the space. Prawns, mushrooms, chicken, rabbit meat, lettuce and steamed buns. A little bit of each, a small amount but a lot of variety.

It's a joy to eat. After all the cleaning and processing, the mutton is also marinated.

Use bamboo to string the mutton into skewers and place them aside. Also string all the other dishes and place them aside for later use.

After finishing these things, Lu Chuan came back and asked him to build a small barbecue grill with bricks in the yard, light the charcoal fire that was usually smoldering during cooking, and put a small iron rack on it. The simple barbecue grill was ready.

The two of them sat in the yard, enjoying the cool evening breeze, grilling skewers and chatting, drinking the carbonated drinks and wheat juice in the space, feeling so comfortable.

The days went on like this, and it seemed pretty good...

The next day, Lu Chuan resumed his usual life, while Xu Han went to pick the prickly ash by herself.

I didn't follow Lu Chuan today. I followed the marked route and walked into the mountains with Heidian and the dog. We didn't walk far, just wandered around the nearby hills.

There are no large prey on the nearby hills, so there is no need to worry too much about safety. The only things you need to watch out for are snakes, insects, rats and ants. I walked along with a stick in my hand and knocked around, but I didn't encounter anything!

Not long after I went out, I saw a black thorn bubble. It was so big. This one was enough to pick for a long time...

So after finishing my housework every day, I would go out to pick mulberries or prickly ash, and in the blink of an eye, it was two days before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Early in the morning, Xu Han got up and prepared the ingredients needed to make zongzi, including red beans, black rice, candied dates, rice, glutinous rice and many other ingredients.

Xu Han planned to make more rice dumplings in the next two days. She is usually very busy and has many things to do, so she doesn’t have time to do such a troublesome thing!

Make more at a time so you can store it in your space and eat it slowly! You can eat it when you want to.

How can I not use such a great cheating tool as Space?

Prepare all the ingredients first and soak them all, so you can make rice dumplings in the afternoon.

After finishing all this, he locked the gate and set out with Heidian to pick zong leaves. He had been wandering in the mountains every day during this period, so he knew exactly where to find zong leaves.

We arrived there in a short while. We had already noted a good place before. The leaves we picked this time were the big ones that we bought online in our previous life. They were bamboo leaves. This kind of leaves are relatively large and are just right for wrapping the three-dimensional triangular rice dumplings.

In my hometown, we use reed leaves to make zongzi, which have a particularly good fragrance. But there are no such leaves around here, and I didn’t think of picking them when I went to the reed marsh last time.

Today Lu Chuan went to the reed marsh to pick reed leaves!

But the reed marsh is quite far from here, so I probably won’t have enough time to make reed leaf rice dumplings today.

When they arrived at the bamboo forest, Xu Han took out a pair of scissors and a backpack and began to pick bamboo leaves.

When making rice dumplings, you must choose leaves that have just grown. They should be big, tender, in good shape, without any worm holes, and very clean.

Xu Han stopped only after picking two baskets of rice. These were enough to make a lot of rice dumplings.

After getting the bamboo leaves, go to the bamboo forest and pick some clean bamboo shoot shells, which can also be used to wrap rice dumplings.

Choose the bamboo shoot shells that are in the middle, as they are larger and easier to wrap.

After finishing everything, she went home. It was already past lunch time when she got home. Xu Han ate a little and then started to cook the rice dumplings.

Raw bamboo leaves cannot be used to wrap rice dumplings. They need to be cleaned one by one and then boiled in a pot. One reason is to disinfect them, and the other is that the cooked leaves are not easy to break when wrapping rice dumplings.

After finishing everything, Xu Han started to make rice dumplings.

Wrap white rice dumplings with bamboo leaves. Mix glutinous rice and rice in a certain proportion, and then add some sugar to make the dumplings sweeter. Cut the candied dates in half and set aside.

After the mixture is ready, take out a bamboo leaf and start wrapping the rice dumplings. First put a candied date at the bottom, then put in an appropriate amount of rice, and then the candied dates.

Wrap it into a three-dimensional triangle. Wrap it tightly with cotton thread, and the zongzi is ready.

I kept packing until Lu Chuan came back in the evening. I saw that Lu Chuan not only brought back reed leaves but also caught a few ducks!

The prey in the space has not been processed yet. Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is easy to spoil if left outside for pickling. Let's wait until autumn to process them together! It saves more time.

In the evening, Xu Han prepared a simple dinner: chicken stewed with mushrooms and cold cucumber salad, plus a bowl of rice soup and steamed buns, which was enough for two people.

After eating, I put the dumplings made in the afternoon into two large iron pots and cooked them. The pots were full and all the dumplings made in the afternoon were cooked.

After boiling, simmer it over residual fire overnight, then serve it out the next morning and you can eat it.

If the cooking time is too short, the inside of the zongzi will be undercooked. Not tasty!

Lu Chuan was cooking rice dumplings in the kitchen, while Xu Han was wrapping red bean-filled rice dumplings in bamboo shoot shells.

Mix red beans, glutinous rice, white rice and white sugar in a certain proportion and you can start making rice dumplings.

Just wrap it in the same way. The rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo shoot shells will be larger than those wrapped in bamboo leaves.

You can also get some of these rice dumplings leaves and store them in the space. There will definitely be no more of these things after the drought, and you won’t be able to eat rice dumplings even if you want to.

Xu Han kept wrapping until ten o'clock in the evening, when she got up, packed up and prepared to go to bed.

The next morning, after getting up, Xu Han went to the kitchen immediately to see how the rice dumplings she cooked yesterday were.

I peeled one and tasted it. Hmm! It was delicious! Soft, sticky, sweet, and very successful!

Then he immediately took one out for Lu Chuan to try, and as expected, it received Lu Chuan's praise!

The two of them simply didn't make breakfast and just ate some rice dumplings for breakfast!

After eating, Lu Chuan continued to hunt, while Xu Han boiled reed leaves and used them to wrap rice dumplings with black rice filling.

She worked like this until the afternoon, and finally finished wrapping all the zongzi, a total of five bamboo baskets of zongzi. These zongzi were enough to eat for a long time, and Xu Han wrapped and cooked them by herself.

It doesn't waste any time.
