Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

After wrapping the rice dumplings, Lu Chuan had not returned yet, so Xu Han took a backpack and went to the backyard to pick all the ripe vegetables in the backyard.

Cucumbers, fruit tomatoes, large tomatoes, and peppers are all ready for picking. Peppers are just starting to be picked, so not many are picked.

Only some peppers that can be eaten as side dishes were picked. The small peppers were not picked. They will be picked and dried and preserved when they turn red and ripe.

After finishing all this, I tidied up the weeds in the vegetable garden and then went to the front to harvest the leeks and onions.

Take out some and clean them up. Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Leave some leeks, green onion fried vegetable wedges and sweet cakes to eat.

Lu Chuan came back later than usual today. Xu Han had already prepared dinner, but Lu Chuan only came home when it was already dark.

I saw that Lu Chuan actually hunted a goat today. This is the first time he hunted a goat since the last time he hunted those goats!

"Why did you come back so late today?" Xu Han asked.

"I walked a little further today and saw a lone goat. I chased it for a while before I finally caught it!"

"You must be tired! Drink some water and take a rest first. I'll bring out the food!"

Since the weather got hot, Xu Han and Lu Chuan had dinner in the yard. They were so happy eating dinner in the cool breeze!

The two chatted while eating, "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, don't go hunting! It's a holiday, take a day off!"

"Okay, I'll be back tomorrow after I collect the traps."

"The weather is really getting hotter and hotter. Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Let's go cut some mugwort and use it to fumigate the area! There are really more and more mosquitoes."

"We'll cut more tomorrow. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains, and they're big. Cut more and dry them so we can use them later."

"Okay! We don't know if there will be one next year! Let's build a shed next to the woodshed! Otherwise, we will have nowhere to put our things!"

"Okay, there's no rush. I'll do it when I have some free time in the winter."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. It's not necessary now!"

As we enjoyed the evening breeze and chatted about trivial matters at home, the days passed by really quickly.

The next day, which was the Dragon Boat Festival, Xu Han got up early to prepare today's food.

In Xu Han's hometown, people have the custom of eating rice dumplings, fried vegetable dumplings and sugar cakes during the Dragon Boat Festival. It's the same here.

Take out the last pot of rice dumplings cooked last night and set them aside.

Start to boil water and blanch the dough. You must use hot dough to fry sugar cakes and vegetable dumplings.

Put appropriate amount of flour in a bowl, add boiling water, knead into dough of suitable hardness, and set aside.

Chop the chives and green onions, chop the pre-soaked vermicelli, take out the remaining steamed buns, knead them into steamed bun crumbs, and add them to the vegetable filling later. It tastes even better!

Fry the sweet potato vermicelli in a pan and put it in a large bowl. Fry the steamed buns as well, put them together, and add chives to season.

The hot dough is sticky, so you need to apply a layer of oil on your hands to prevent it from sticking. Wrap it into a big dumpling, put it aside, and fry it.

After wrapping the vegetable dumplings, wrap the sugar cake. First, roll it into a circle, add white sugar mixed with flour into it, roll the circle and flatten it to make the sugar cake.

After everything was done, Lu Chuan also came back and started helping to light the fire and fry vegetable dumplings and sugar cakes.

After frying, they were placed on the altar. Lu Chuan took Xu Han to pay tribute to Father and Mother Lu...

After breakfast, the two went to cut mugwort. It is said that mugwort is most effective on the Dragon Boat Festival.

Be sure to cut a little more and save it for later use. The longer the mugwort is, the better the effect will be!

Because they knew in advance that there would be a drought in the next few years, the two of them cut a lot of mugwort this time.

I'll try making some mosquito coils when the time comes. I've seen it in a short video before, but I've never tried it myself, so I don't know if it will work.

Lu Chuan cut mugwort, while Xu Han plucked its leaves. They were busy with their own things and had lunch on the mountain.

It was not until the sun set that the two of them harvested a lot of mugwort and then got up to go home.

Although the weather is not too hot now, it is still very tiring after a day's work.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. I didn’t have a good lunch, so I definitely can’t make do with just a simple dinner.

Xu Han came to the kitchen and began to prepare today's dinner. She first took out a big fish and prepared to make a dish of pickled fish.

Take out the fish head and fish bones separately and use them to make the soup base later.

Wash the fish fillets, add egg white, starch, pepper, salt, onion, ginger and other seasonings and marinate them first.

Take out the sauerkraut you made some time ago, wash it, cut it into sections and set aside.

Heat oil in a pan, put the fish head and fish bones into the pan and fry until both sides are golden brown. Add hot water and the fish soup will turn white instantly.

After the pot is boiling, add the side dishes and season. Cook until done and set aside. Then add the fish fillets and blanch until done.

It is ready to be served, then heat oil in another pan. When the oil is hot, add peppercorns and chili peppers and pour them over the sauerkraut fish. The aroma will be instantly brought out.

This sauerkraut fish contains both meat and vegetables, which is already very rich. However, today is a festival, so we must not have only these few dishes. He then took out a large table of roast chicken, spicy rabbit meat, braised beef, etc. from the space.

The staple food is white rice, a particularly hearty meal.

Lu Chuan looked at the food on the table and said, "This is the first time in my life that I have eaten such a sumptuous meal. Thanks to my wife, I can eat such a good meal. From now on, I will definitely obey my wife."

Hearing Lu Chuan teasing her like this, Xu Han said without hesitation, "Then help me get some bath water later!"

"Okay, listen to my wife."

After saying that, they both laughed.

After dinner, Lu Chuan cleaned up the mess while Xu Han sat in the yard to enjoy the breeze. She was really tired today. She didn't get a good rest during the holidays.

I fell asleep while lying down...

When Lu Chuan came out after washing the dishes, he saw Xu Han sleeping on the recliner and carefully carried her back to the house.

I cleaned Xu Han again. Maybe because she was too tired, Xu Han didn't wake up. She just turned over and fell asleep again...

Seeing this, Lu Chuan felt distressed. Ever since Xu Han knew that there would be disasters and wars, she had been on high alert and had been working hard to store food, not daring to relax for a moment...

I can only blame myself for not being strong enough to ensure Xu Han has enough food and clothing, which is why she is so tired. It seems that I still need to continue working hard to make money!

The next day, when Xu Han woke up, Lu Chuan was no longer at home. She looked at the breakfast left in the pot. After eating, she went to wash clothes first, and then went to the backyard to feed the chickens and ducks.

The old hen now lays five eggs almost every day, and there are already quite a few eggs accumulated in the space.

The duck eggs I picked up a while ago have not been processed yet! I will find time to process them together.
