Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Sometimes when there is too much earthworm manure, we will shovel it out and put it aside, so that we can use it as fertilizer for vegetables later.

Maybe because they eat vegetable leaves and earthworms every day, the chickens, ducks and geese are growing very fast and are now starting to lay eggs.

Today Xu Han planned to fertilize all the vegetables. She dug out all the usable earthworm manure, put it aside, and then started fertilizing the vegetables.

Xu Han didn't want to trouble herself, so she just threw it at the roots of the vegetables. After applying the fertilizer, Lu Chuan would just water it! There was no need to dig a hole and apply fertilizer, which was troublesome and tiring!

After applying the fertilizer, go to the kitchen, take out the wood ash from the stove, and sprinkle it on the leaves of the vegetables later to prevent them from being infested with insects.

Because of the frequent sprinkling of wood ash, many leafy vegetables are growing well and are free of insects.

Some vegetables are not prone to insects, so there is no need to sprinkle wood ash on them.

There was still some wood ash left after spreading the ash, so Xu Han simply took the backpack and went outside to the sweet potato field and started spreading the wood ash.

Sweet potato leaves are also particularly prone to insects, especially big green caterpillars.

Sweet potato leaves must be checked regularly, otherwise if they are infested with insects, it will be difficult to control.

Just as Xu Han finished spreading the news, Lu Chuan came back from the county town.

"I'm back. How was the profit today?" Xu Han asked.

"Not bad, I sold it for 435 Wen!" Lu Chuan had given the money he got from selling the prey to Xu Han many times before, but Xu Han never took it and always let him keep it for himself. After all, Lu Chuan would buy some things every time he came back.

It also costs money, and it would be troublesome to ask Xu Han for it every time, so Xu Han just asked him to keep it himself and give it to her for safekeeping when he had saved up five taels of silver.

After spending such a long time together, they understand each other's personalities very well and trust each other.

Lu Chuan followed Xu Han's idea. After all, he sometimes wanted to buy some gifts for his wife!

This is indeed the case. Xu Han stays at home alone and seldom goes to the county town often, but Lu Chuan almost always buys something for Xu Han every time he goes to the county town.

Sometimes it is food, sometimes it is hairpins or other small items.

As long as Lu Chuan saw something suitable for Xu Han or something Xu Han would like, he would buy some for her.

"I fertilized the vegetables in the backyard today, but I haven't watered them yet!"

"Let me water it! You take a rest!"

This is how two people get along. Each of them will want to do more, try not to tire the other, and not leave all the work to the other person.

As for some physical work, Xu Han would do what she could do, and would leave the things she couldn't do to Lu Chuan as much as possible, and she would not try to show off her own abilities. After all, the difference in strength between men and women was still huge.

The two of them went to the backyard together, and Xu Han placed the large vat at a suitable distance for Lu Chuan to make it convenient for Lu Chuan to fetch water to water the vegetables.

I went to prepare ice jelly.

First, take out an appropriate amount of ice powder seeds, put them into the gauze, tie the gauze tightly with a string, and wash them with clean water.

Then soak it in a basin of water for a while and start making ice jelly.

Use both hands to squeeze and rub continuously, keep rubbing until the water inside becomes viscous, then you can stop.

Use a spoon to scoop out the big bubbles on the ice jelly water and throw them away, otherwise the ice jelly will not taste good.

Xu Han planned to make a few more ice jelly with different flavors. Then he took out a dragon fruit and two peaches from the space.

Divide the ice powder into three portions, crush the dragon fruit and peach, and pour them into different bowls. Add the appropriate amount of lime water and start stirring quickly.

Stir until the ice powder becomes resistant.

In this way, the three different flavors of ice jelly: original, dragon fruit, and peach are ready.

After everything is done, put it in a water tank and freeze it for a while. You can eat it after the ice jelly solidifies.

Taking advantage of this time, Xu Han prepared some ingredients for the ice jelly.

Chop the fruit you want to eat into pieces, and add some hawthorn slices from the space.

There are not many hawthorn slices, only a little bit. When the hawthorn is ripe, you can make some for ice jelly. It tastes sour and sweet!

Take out the peanuts you bought earlier, peel the peanut kernels, put them in a pot and roast them, chop them up and add them to the ice jelly.

Finally, take out the brown sugar in the space, make a bowl of thick brown sugar water and set it aside.

It’s my first time making this, and I didn’t prepare many of the ingredients fully, so I could only add what I had. Next time I go to the dim sum shop, I’ll see if they have any dried fruits or something like that, it will be delicious if I add them in!

After finishing the ingredients, I took out the ice jelly and saw that it had solidified. I also served it in a bowl and added different ingredients.

I tasted it, and it tasted exactly like this. It was icy and chewy, and it was so refreshing!

Have a bowl of it when it's hot, it's especially delicious!

Xu Han quickly took the bowl to the backyard and let Lu Chuan have a taste!

As soon as Lu Chuan put the food in his mouth, Xu Han couldn't wait to ask, "How is it? Is it delicious? I didn't add much sugar to this bowl, so it shouldn't be too sweet."

"It really helps to cool down and tastes great! It's not too sweet and I really like it."

"I've made a lot more. Eating a bowl of this after work or after dinner will really cool you down!"

"Can you make it hot and sour? With chili oil and vinegar?"

Xu Han was stunned. The ice jelly she ate was always added with fruits and brown sugar syrup. It seemed that vinegar and chili could also be added!

"I haven't tried it either, but you can give it a try, it should work!" So the two of them went to the kitchen and made another sour and spicy dish.

Lu Chuan thought it was okay, but Xu Han always felt it was weird. She felt that ice jelly should be added with fruit and syrup...

Xu Han prefers normal ice jelly to the sour and spicy one. It turns out that the stereotype has sealed Xu Han.

Compared to Xu Han, Lu Chuan has a good acceptance of the sour and spicy ice jelly! It seems that this is how it should be eaten.

Xu Han suddenly realized that ice jelly cannot be made hot and sour, but pea jelly can be made! Why didn't she think of this?

Pea jelly can be eaten as a meal. Now we have a grinding wheel at home, so we can make it ourselves.

But there were no peas at home, so Xu Han said to Lu Chuan

"We can make pea jelly, which is very refreshing and can be eaten as a meal. But we don't have peas at home. Next time you go to the county town, buy some more! Because I don't eat it often, and I never thought about pea jelly before."

"Okay, then I'll buy more next time I go to the county town and we can try to make it ourselves." Lu Chuan agreed readily.

Each of them ate a bowl of ice jelly. They were no longer hungry, so naturally they didn't make dinner. They put it off for the time being. When they were hungry later, they could just take food from the space.
