Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

The multi-grain rice tastes very good! You can go to the county town to buy some multi-grain rice and make some multi-grain rice yourself.

If you eat white rice every day, it will become unpalatable after a while.

Adding some sweet potatoes or other grains when steaming rice will make it taste very good. It saves white rice and you can change the staple food to a different flavor.

After dinner, the two sat in the yard and started shelling soybeans.

We chatted while shelling beans.

"The corn and beans are almost ripe, and we will be very busy during the autumn harvest. I want to take advantage of this time to make more food and store it in the space for consumption during the autumn harvest." Xu Han said to Lu Chuan.

“Sure, it’s going to be very tiring during the autumn harvest, and I definitely won’t want to cook then.

But if you don't eat well, your body will suffer a lot. Now that there is a space to store food, you can make more and put it in the space. When you want to eat, you can just take it out and eat it. "Lu Chuan replied.

"I think so too. After the autumn harvest, many things in the mountains can be picked. You are going to go into the mountains to hunt, and I also want to pick more mountain products. We will be very busy. There is no time to cook those delicious and complicated meals every day."

"Okay, then I won't go hunting tomorrow. I'll go chop some firewood first so you can use it when you cook at home, so you don't have to chop firewood yourself!"

"Well, starting from tomorrow, I will cook more and put it in the space every time I cook, and prepare some food in advance in my spare time. I will try not to cook during the autumn harvest, and try to pick more mountain products from the mountains. Save them for the disaster years to come."

After confirming it, the two of them went their separate ways the next day.

Xu Han got up early in the morning, had breakfast, and boiled a large pot of eggs, planning to use them to make a tea egg later.

Tea eggs are better than boiled eggs! When I was working, Xu Han would buy tea eggs almost every morning. I would also cook them when I was at home.

So it was very easy for Xu Han to cook tea eggs. Cook more and it would be convenient to eat them.

First clean the surface of the eggs, then put them in the pot and start cooking for about seven or eight minutes. It is best if they have a slightly soft core. Do not cook them too well at one time because you will need to braise them later!

After the eggs have cooled, use a spatula to break the egg skin to make it more flavorful later.

Then start preparing the soup for cooking tea eggs. Add appropriate amount of water into the pot, and add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, pepper, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, rock sugar and other spices.

Adding an appropriate amount of black tea leaves is an essential ingredient for cooking tea eggs. How can eggs cooked without adding tea leaves be called tea eggs!

After everything is ready, bring to a boil over high heat, put in the eggs, cook for a while, then turn off the heat and put them in a large wooden tub to soak for the afternoon.

When the evening comes, the tea eggs can be eaten.

After finishing all this, Xu Han closed the gate, picked up the wooden bucket and walked towards the stream.

When I was picking snails yesterday, I thought there should be small crabs in the creek, so I went to see if I could catch some.

When I came to the creek, I looked for a long time but didn't see any crabs in the river.

Suddenly I remembered what I saw in a short video before, that crabs were hiding under the rocks.

I don’t know if there are any crabs under the stone, so let’s lift the stone and take a look!

The stone was quite heavy. Xu Han found some stones that she could lift and started to lift them up. Under the first stone, um! Nothing.

I changed to the next one, but still nothing...

After lifting several buckets, he didn't see any small crabs. He did see some eels, but Xu Han didn't dare to catch them.

It looks like a snake, slippery and covered with mucus, and it’s impossible to catch it, so forget it!

After washing hands, he carried the bucket and went home.

When I got home, Lu Chuan had already collected the traps. I saw game in the yard, but I didn't see Lu Chuan. He must have gone to chop wood!

Put the game into the space, accumulate it and process it together, then come to the outside of the wasteland,

The onions planted before have grown very large, and now we need to seal the onion ditches so that the onion whites can grow longer and the onions will grow bigger.

If the ditch is not sealed in time, the onions will grow too tall and will become crooked, and their growth will get worse and worse.

Before closing the ditch, let's apply some fertilizer. Xu Han took the dung bucket and shovel to fetch the cow dung that Lu Chuan had thrown in the cow's stomach next to the wasteland last time, and applied it to the roots of the onions to make a base fertilizer for the onions.

The cow dung has been dried, so it is just right to apply it directly to the roots of the onions without burning the roots.

Sprinkle it evenly on the roots, and then use a spade to seal the roots of the onions to form a high ridge, tightly wrapping the roots.

After everything was done, the sun was already very strong and Xu Han was sweating all over, with her hair soaked.

I didn’t want to continue doing this in the afternoon, so I insisted on finishing all the onions before getting up and going home.

When I got home, I got myself a bowl of ice jelly and ate it while resting.

After finishing a bowl of ice jelly, Xu Han carried the water that had been dried in the yard to the bathroom, intending to take a bath first. She came out covered in sweat, feeling sticky and uncomfortable.

Since the weather turned hot, Xu Han often dried hot water in the yard. The sun was very strong and the water was very hot, just right for bathing.

Sometimes when you wake up from a nap or sweat while working, you can just fetch water to take a shower, without having to boil water on a hot day. It's very convenient.

After taking a shower, Xu Han went to the kitchen and started making lunch for the day.

Lu Chuan did not go hunting today, and he will definitely come back for dinner soon.

The weather is so hot, so let’s make garlic noodles that we both like!

Before Xu Han finished cooking, Lu Chuan came back. The sun was too strong and he would get heatstroke if he continued working.

"I'm back. The meal isn't ready yet. Have a bowl of ice jelly to cool off first!"

"Okay, I'll go take a shower first and eat later. It's too hot and my clothes are soaked."

"Okay, I dried some extra water today! I just washed it, and there's more outside. You can just go get some water."

When Lu Chuan heard Xu Han say this, he went to fetch water for a bath.

When Lu Chuan was hunting in the mountains, the weather was very hot, so he often went to the river to take a bath at noon. Taking a bath can cool you down a lot.

After taking a shower, Lu Chuan went to the main room and drank some honeysuckle tea that Xu Han had prepared in advance. Instantly, he felt that the heat in his body had disappeared a lot.

Ever since the family started drying honeysuckle, Xu Han would often make some tea and let it cool in the main room so that she could drink it directly when she was thirsty.

Sometimes I use honeysuckle water, sometimes I use acacia flower water, and occasionally I also make some jam water.
