Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy
Chapter 59 Sweet Potato Stems
What's more, Xu Han is a foodie, otherwise how could she cook so many dishes!
You can't let anyone lose money, but you can't let your stomach lose money! When working in modern times, the little money you earn is all spent on yourself.
He often makes plans to have dinner with a few friends. Under Xu Han's influence, Lu Chuan, who used to be indifferent to food, has become picky.
I’m used to eating Xu Han’s cooking. Every time I go hunting in the mountains or go to the county town to sell game for food, I feel the food isn’t very tasty!
It has no taste. Eating is just to fill your stomach and not let yourself go hungry. But eating the food cooked by Xu Han makes you feel like you are enjoying it.
After finishing the meal, they felt the weather was a bit hot and dry, and it was probably going to rain, so they put all the things in the yard into the house to avoid having to get up in the middle of the night to put things away if it rained.
After everything was put away, Lu Chuan washed the dishes and clothes, while Xu Han was in the yard, enjoying the cool air while peeling corn.
First peel off all the corn leaves, leaving only the corn cobs, and then peel out some fresh corn kernels. However, fresh corn kernels are not so easy to peel. When you peel the corn kernels, they will rot easily, and the corn kernels will break, making the corn juice all over the place.
Therefore, you must be very careful when peeling corn kernels and do not use too much force to avoid breaking the corn kernels.
After Lu Chuan finished washing, he also came to help. As usual, the two of them worked until about ten o'clock before going to rest.
Over the past six months, both of them have developed the habit of going to bed late.
For ancient people, it was late to go to bed, but for a modern person like Xu Han, ten o'clock is the time to play. In modern times, there should be few people who go to bed before ten o'clock!
In the middle of the night, Xu Han indeed heard the sound of thunder, followed by a violent storm.
Xu Han thought to herself that this was great as she didn’t have to water the vegetables anymore. Then she turned over and fell into a deep sleep in Lu Chuan’s arms.
When I woke up the next morning, the heavy rain had stopped and the sun was slowly coming out.
It was another sunny day. If it weren't for the branches and leaves blown into the yard and the ground wet with rain, it would be as if the heavy rain at night had never come.
After the heavy rain, the harvest in the trap should be better. Lu Chuan continued to hunt, while Xu Han continued to implement yesterday's plan.
While the sun is shining, take out the dried cucumbers and potatoes and dry them in the sun. Collect the dried beans and store them in the cellar.
After finishing, I went to the kitchen to prepare to dry the sweet potato stems.
First, wash the sweet potato stalks with the leaves removed in clean water, then blanch them in boiling water until they are softened.
After blanching, rinse the sweet potato stems in cold water repeatedly, and when the water is no longer hot, you can take them out and dry them in the sun.
After repeating this process several times, I finally finished processing all the sweet potato stalks picked yesterday.
The two of them picked a lot of sweet potato stems yesterday! But Xu Han always thought that after four years of natural disasters, there would be wars and chaos, and she didn't know if she could grow anything! She was afraid that there would not be enough to eat in the end.
After all the dried vegetables in the yard are collected, I plan to dry more of them. After all, dried vegetables are easy to preserve, and even if they cannot be eaten in the end, it is not too wasteful. It is just a little more trouble.
It’s better to put in some effort than to have nothing to eat afterwards!
After picking the sweet potato stalks, Xu Han found a cool and windy place and started picking soybean pods.
Pull the soybean pods directly off and put them into the bamboo basket. After picking some, Xu Han took a wooden basin and started shelling the beans.
Just peel the beans directly from the whole bean, put the peeled beans into a wooden basin, and after peeling them all, put them in a space for storage.
Shelling corn kernels, picking bean pods and shelling beans are all quite troublesome and cannot be done in a short period of time. You have to do it slowly during lunch break and in the evening when you have free time!
After lunch, Xu Han closed the gate and went out with the wooden barrel.
I plan to catch more snails while they are plump. We both like snails very much, so I will catch a few more and put them in the space to eat slowly.
You can eat it as a snack when you have nothing to do! It tastes spicy and delicious!
Xu Han came to the place where Lu Chuan had brought her last time. She rolled up her trouser legs, took off her shoes, and went down to the river.
The snails in the river are just as densely packed as they were a few days ago. You don’t even need to look for them; they’re easy to touch.
Xu Han touched six wooden barrels of snails and then went back, mainly because the basin at home for the snails to spit out the mud was not big enough.
I'm busy drying vegetables recently, and I can't use all the wooden barrels and basins to make the snails spit out the mud. It would be a waste of time.
When I got home, I went to the backyard first and simply rubbed the mud off the surface of the snails. Then I added water, oil and salt like last time, and left the rest to time.
You only need to change the water frequently during the process, and after soaking for two days, go and catch snails again. Save more, because there may be no water in the river at this time next year, and you may not be able to catch snails.
After finishing, Lu Chuan also came back. Today's harvest was quite good. Because it rained last night, there were a lot of prey in the trap.
Today I hunted seven rabbits, five pheasants and two roe deer.
Then Xu Han helped Lu Chuan to start processing today's game, and took out the things in the space that had not been processed yesterday.
It is rather troublesome to deal with the prey after coming back from hunting every day, so Lu Chuan only starts to deal with them all together after accumulating a certain amount.
Lu Chuan was skinning the rabbit, while Xu Han went to boil some hot water to be used to pluck the chicken feathers.
After Lu Chuan slaughtered the chicken, Xu Han poured hot water on the chicken's body, pouring it evenly on each side to ensure that every part was scalded! Otherwise, it would be difficult to pluck the chicken feathers.
After perming, Xu Han started to pluck the chicken feathers. The chicken feathers were easy to pluck as they fell off as soon as they were plucked.
After plucking all the chicken feathers, you need to gut the chicken and deal with the offal.
The two men worked until dark to deal with all the prey.
Make a spicy chicken offal for dinner. After cleaning the chicken offal, heat oil in a pan and stir-fry the chicken offal. Then add appropriate amount of chili and garlic sprouts and stir-fry. Add salt to taste and it is ready to be served.
Let’s make a dish of cold sweet potato stems. Blanch the sweet potato stems, then rinse with cold water, cut into appropriate-sized pieces, add garlic juice and mix evenly.
Finally, take out the chicken soup in the space and you can start eating.
Today's staple food is multi-grain rice, which includes rice, black rice, purple rice, buckwheat rice, oatmeal rice, etc.
This is what's left in the space! I haven't eaten it yet, but I finished it all today.
