Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy
Chapter 46 Going to the Herd
The next morning, when Xu Han got up, she saw that the weather outside was not right and it should rain.
After breakfast, I quickly put away all the things that were drying at home. The mosquito coils I made yesterday were not dry yet and needed to be brought into the house.
After a while, Lu Chuan came back from hunting.
By lunch time, the heavy rain came as expected. Summer rain always falls heavily, and this rain came and went quickly.
An hour later, the sun came out again.
It was a cool night after the rain, and the two of them had another barbecue in the yard!
While eating, we discussed going to see the cattle the day after tomorrow. Judging from the weather, it shouldn’t rain in the near future.
The two agreed to go to the cattle the day after tomorrow and stay at home to prepare food tomorrow.
Because it is quite far from here, if everything goes well, I can come back in about five or six days. If not, it may take seven or eight days!
Xu Han plans to prepare the food she will need for the next few days tomorrow, and try not to cook during the days she is away! Save time
After dinner, I started to steam the rice I would need for the next few days. After steaming, I put it in the space. I have to make time to steam buns tomorrow!
Early the next morning, Xu Han got up and went to the kitchen to make the steamed buns that the two dogs would need to eat in the next few days.
Both dogs were big eaters, so Xu Han mixed two large bowls of dough and set them aside to let them rise.
While the dough is rising, prepare the meals you will be eating soon.
Green pepper and black fungus, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cold cucumber salad, scrambled eggs with peppers, braised lamb, chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised rabbit meat, stir-fried beef, West Lake beef soup, hot and sour soup, white rice porridge, etc.
I made a lot of each, as there happened to be not much food left in the space recently. I made a little more of each of these home-cooked dishes, stored them in the space and eaten slowly.
Xu Han spent the whole day cooking in the kitchen. The air was smoky and hot, so she had no appetite and only ate some fruit at noon.
After Lu Chuan came back from hunting, he began to prepare food for the livestock at home for the next few days.
Xu Han went to the backyard and picked all the ripe vegetables. After putting everything in place at home, Xu Han began to organize the things in the space.
Now the kitchen, bathroom and corridor in the space are all filled with food, and the balcony is also filled with vegetables, fruits and meat.
All the potatoes harvested before are in the cellar, so the space is full. Now only a large living room is empty.
The hunted cattle can be placed directly in the space and processed when they come back.
After packing up, the two of them rested early today. They still had to travel further tomorrow. They had to have a lot of energy to travel such a long distance...
"Wife, get up, we're going to the cattle herd," Lu Chuan called Xu Han when it was still dawn.
When Xu Han heard that they were going to the cattle herd, she instantly lost her sleepiness. She quickly put on her clothes and went out.
After washing up, Lu Chuan also settled the chickens, ducks and geese.
After calling Heifeng and Heidian, the two of them set out to go to the cattle herd, one after the other.
By noon, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, so I decided to find a stream and take a simple wash.
Then, after lunch, we took a short break and continued on our journey when the sun was not so scorching. Otherwise, we would easily get heat stroke.
After walking for about 15 minutes, Xu Han saw a stream. She quickly ran to the stream and washed her face to relieve her hot body.
Seeing this, Lu Chuan also followed and washed his face. The two found a flat tree. Here, the shade of the tree blocked the sun from shining on them.
There was a breeze blowing under the tree, and it didn't seem so hot anymore.
Heifeng and Heidian ran directly into the stream, ran madly, dived into the water, shook their bodies, ran to the other side, and finally lay down in the water to give themselves a bath.
Xu Han took out today's lunch from the space, stewed chicken with mushrooms and cold cucumber, as well as rice as the staple food, and then took out a glass of juice and a bottle of beer.
Lu Chuan now likes drinking beer very much. Ever since he tasted the taste of beer, he has a bottle of beer with almost every meal.
Xu Han would also take out a beer before every meal. It seemed that she had developed this habit unconsciously.
After lunch, Xu Han took out the wooden bed from the space and placed it under the shade of the tree.
The two planned to take a short lunch break so that they would have enough energy to continue their journey in the afternoon.
It was almost 3 o'clock when Xu Han woke up. She put the bed into the space, went to the stream to wash her face, and woke up.
Call Heifeng and Heidian, two people and two dogs, and continue on our journey.
As Xu Han was walking, he suddenly saw something that looked very familiar. After walking closer and taking a closer look, he found that it was honeysuckle.
The buds are not fully bloomed yet. Only a few flowers have bloomed. It is a good time to pick them.
But Xu Han and Lu Chuan didn't have that much time to stay here and slowly pick honeysuckle. They could only hastily cut off some branches with more flowers with sickles, and then pick them slowly when they returned.
Next year, the honeysuckle tree will sprout new branches and continue to bloom on the new branches.
It will not hinder the growth of the honeysuckle tree. So it is okay to cut the branches directly with a sickle.
Some of the buds that are still few are left for now. When you come back and pass by here, you can cut them off.
In a short while, all the grown flower buds were cut off.
After cutting the fruits, the two continued to move forward. When they came across new thorny bubble trees or honeysuckle trees along the way, they would cut them down with sickles and put them in the space, and pick them slowly when they returned.
This place is quite far from home. Even if I were to pick fruits normally, I wouldn't come so far.
Rather than letting them fall naturally and go to waste, it is better to cut the branches and take them home to pick and eat.
It is worth their growth and contribution.
When the sun was about to set, Lu Chuan led Xu Han to quicken their pace and head towards the nearest cave.
The two walked along the way, stopping and starting, picking things non-stop, which wasted a lot of time.
If Lu Chuan came alone, according to his walking speed, he would be able to reach the cave near the cattle herd before dark.
But today, with Xu Han along, we walked a little slower. We will set out early tomorrow morning and will probably reach the cave near the herd by lunch time.
The two finally reached the cave before dark. "Great! We won't have to sleep in the wilderness tonight," Xu Han shouted happily.
