Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy
Chapter 64 Harvesting Corn
After the two of them had eaten their fill, they sat in the yard, chatting casually, sipping fruit wine from time to time, and enjoying the rare leisure time at this moment. No one wanted to interrupt this rare relaxing time...
The next morning, Xu Han first dried the mint and then began the busy day again, repeating the previous work.
On the first day, dry the potatoes.
The next day, we caught snails and fried them.
On the third day, dry the sweet potato stems.
On the fourth day, I did housework and picked vegetables.
On the fifth and sixth day, steam buns.
On the seventh day, it was raining and I was preparing to cook at home.
On the eighth day, we picked mushrooms in the mountains.
For several days in a row, we have been preparing for the autumn harvest in the near future.
In the blink of an eye, it was the ninth day. Xu Han got up early in the morning and took out the mushrooms picked yesterday to dry them.
Then I went to the backyard, cleaned the chicken and duck pens, and picked the vegetables from the vegetable garden and put them away for preservation!
After finishing everything, he picked up the dustpan and scissors and went outside the wasteland. The onions planted before had already produced seeds, and the round onion balls were wrapped with black onion seeds.
It is fully mature and you can now pick the onion seeds, dry them and save them for seeds.
Use scissors to cut the onion head, put it on a dustpan, and dry it in the sun for a day or two. The black onion seeds will fall off naturally. Dry it and store it well. You can plant it again in October.
The scallions that have produced onion seeds have become old, and the white part will become hollow over time. If you don’t pick and eat them now, you can cut them off first.
After a while, new onions will sprout from the roots and grow into tender new onions.
After finishing everything, Xu Han went home and made beef noodles for lunch.
Recently, Xu Han always cooks a full pot every time, and puts the leftovers in the space. Now there are a lot of cooked food in the space.
These cooked foods are prepared so that people don't have to cook during the autumn harvest.
It rained the day before yesterday and the summer sun is very strong. Now the ground outside is no longer muddy and we can go out to work.
The two had already discussed it yesterday and decided to start the autumn harvest tomorrow.
Corn and beans were planted in the spring and are now fully mature. I will start picking the corn tomorrow...
After waking up from a nap, Xu Han first went to the tool room, took out the sickle, and sharpened it to make it easier to use it for harvesting beans later.
Prepare the backpack and put it aside for now. You will use it to carry corn tomorrow.
Hoes, machetes and other tools also need to be prepared in advance. After breaking the cobs, you also need to chop off the straw!
After all the tools were ready, Xu Han came to the yard again and swept the yard with a large broom, and put all the debris in the yard aside.
The corn harvested tomorrow needs to be poured into the yard to dry, so clean the yard in advance!
After finishing everything, the sun had not yet set and Xu Han had nothing else to do. She looked at the sky and saw that it was still early, so she carried her backpack and went out again.
I plan to go to the hillside near my home to pick ice powder fruit. It has been a long time since the last time I came here to pick ice powder fruit. I should be able to pick more this time.
After arriving at the destination, I saw that many ice jelly fruits were ripe and the skins had dried up. It was a good time to pick them.
Xu Han quickly put the backpack on the ground, put on gloves and started picking.
The ice powder fruit is ripe in large quantities in this season. It is very easy to pick. You don’t have to search hard. 80% of them are fully ripe. Just pick them with your eyes closed!
It was getting dark when Xu Han returned home. Lu Chuan was processing the prey he had recently hunted.
"You're back! Where have you been? I didn't see you?" Lu Chuan asked.
"I prepared the things I'll need for tomorrow. Since it's still early, I'm going to pick some ice fruit on the hillside next to me!"
"How is it! Are the ice powder fruits ripe now?"
"Most of them are fully ripe and ready to be picked. I picked a lot today in a short time. I haven't picked them all yet. I will pick more after the autumn harvest."
"Let me take out the prey in the space for you! Let's deal with it together, and I'll go cook!" After Xu Han said this, he took out all the prey that had not been dealt with recently, and went into the kitchen to start cooking dinner.
After dinner, the two peeled some ice fruit for a while and then went to rest. After all, they had to get up early tomorrow to pick corn in the cornfield, so it was not advisable to sleep too late today, otherwise they would not have the energy to work tomorrow...
The next day, as soon as the rooster crowed, the two got up and picked the corn before the weather was too hot.
Each person carried a backpack, wore long sleeves and long pants, gloves, and a scarf on his head. He was fully armed with only a pair of eyes exposed.
Breaking corn is not an easy job. If you are not fully armed, you will get red marks on your body, which will be very itchy and painful.
The two men came to the cornfield and started working. They broke off the corn one in each hand and threw them into the backpack. When it was full, they changed to another backpack to load more.
After filling all the backpacks, Xu Han took the corn back home and poured it out on the open space in the yard to dry.
Then Xu Han picked the corn herself, while Lu Chuan cut down the corn stalks that had already been picked.
They are stacked in rows on the ground. After drying, they can be taken home and used for burning.
It took the two of them a whole day to harvest all the corn on the three acres of land.
Because I had picked a lot of fresh corn before, it wasn't very tiring to collect it and I finished it all quickly.
After working all day, they only took a short break at noon when the sun was at its highest. After returning home, they were both tired and hot, and Xu Han didn't want to cook anymore.
After each person had a serving of ice jelly, Xu Han went to take a shower first.
After taking a shower, I sat in the yard to relax and rest for a while. At this time, Lu Chuan also came out of the shower.
The two of them each moved a chair, sat next to the pile of corn and started shelling it.
When the corn is broken off, it is attached to the outer husk. Now you need to peel off the corn husk.
When peeling the corn, you cannot peel it all off. You have to leave a few soft leaves so that you can braid the corn and hang it up to dry later. This way there will be space to dry the beans.
While Lu Chuan was peeling the corn husks, Xu Han was braiding the corn, just like braiding a pigtail, braiding them in bunches, and then hanging them under the eaves to dry.
Hang it under the eaves, and you don't need to bring it into the house when it rains, and it won't get wet by the rain. It can get exposed to the sun, and it won't get moldy or rotten when there's wind.
After working for a while, they both felt hungry. Xu Han took out the food that she had prepared earlier from the space. After eating, she continued to peel corn.
They kept peeling the corn until after eleven o'clock, but they still hadn't finished peeling the corn, so they stopped peeling and got up and went back to the house to rest.
I have to harvest beans tomorrow! I have to sleep well tonight, otherwise I won’t have the energy to work tomorrow. I can only continue to shell corn when I have free time.
