Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

After Xu Han finished speaking, she began to observe Lu Chuan's expression. Although she knew that Lu Chuan would definitely agree, she was still a little nervous.

"Then upgrade! Why are you asking me? The money is given to you, spend it however you want! No need to ask me, and this is a good thing! A business that is sure to make a profit. 120 taels is nothing! Just make the decision yourself!" Lu Chuan looked at Xu Han's expression with amusement.

"I knew you would agree. I had to tell you about such an important thing!" Xu Han happily held Lu Chuan's face and kissed him.

"You want to run away after kissing me? That's not going to happen!" Lu Chuan hugged Xu Han's waist, not letting her move.

After playing around for a while, the two took out food from the space and started eating.

After dinner, Xu Han entered the space and paid 120 taels of silver, and the air wall in the middle disappeared.

Xu Han came to the opposite side and took a look. The expanded space was the same length as the opposite side, but there was no wall in the middle. The whole space was directly opened up, and the partition walls between the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom were gone.

This is better, it saves more space for storing things, and with a few fewer walls you can store more things!

That half space was 86 square meters with a partition wall. Now this side is 120 square meters, and it definitely looks much larger without the partition wall blocking it.

Strike while the iron is hot, Xu Han didn't take a nap and began to reclassify all the things in the space.

Sort all the food that was purchased previously and stack them in the new space, against the wall.

All the things that were previously stuffed into the cracks were taken out and sorted and put back in place.

Fresh vegetables are put together, fresh meat is put together, and the dried vegetables and potatoes in the cellar are also put back into the space. After all, the space is static and can store food better.

After finishing all of this, the sun had already started to set.

Xu Han came to the yard and helped Lu Chuan sort the beans.

Beat it one last time and all the beans will fall out.

Pile the bean stalks in the open space outside the yard, then sweep the beans into a pile, and start winnowing the beans in the evening when there is wind.

This step is to use wind to blow away the fluff and dust inside the beans.

Fill a wooden shovel with beans, point it in the direction of the wind, and sprinkle it upwards. The wind will blow away the dust, leaving only clean beans.

Repeat this process until all the beans are processed, leaving only some large pods and stalks. Use your hands to pick them all out.

After finishing, clean the ground and pile the beans together. Spread them out again to dry during the day tomorrow. After a few days of drying, they can be stored.

After everything was cleaned up, it was already getting dark. Xu Han came to the kitchen to cook dinner, while Lu Chuan went to the backyard to clean the chicken and duck pens, and sprinkled some quicklime for disinfection.

Today's dinner was stir-fried Chinese cabbage and braised fish fillets, and the staple food was white flour steamed buns.

After dinner, the two sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air. They would not work tonight. After working for several days in a row, it was time to take a good rest.

The next morning, Xu Han spread out the pile of beans in the yard to dry, and then began to clean the house. She had been busy with the autumn harvest in recent days and had not cleaned the house.

First take out the quilts in the house and hang them up to dry, then take the clothes, sheets and other things to the backyard and wash them.

After washing, mop the floor in the house and wipe the table. It hasn't been cleaned for a few days and there is a thin layer of dust.

After cleaning the main room and bedroom, I went to the kitchen, boiled the chopping board, bowls and other utensils in hot water, and then washed them with detergent.

The kitchen uses a floor stove, which produces a lot of smoke. If it is not cleaned regularly, the kitchen utensils will become greasy and sticky.

Although these are just trivial things, they are very time-consuming to do. After I finished everything, it was already noon.

Doing housework is also very hard. After finishing a morning's work, I am so tired that my waist can't even straighten up. It is really not much easier than doing farm work.

Xu Han came to the main room and got herself a portion of ice jelly. While eating, she lay in the rocking chair and fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan.

Lu Chuan will not be back for lunch today, so just eat some fruits and snacks. I will make a delicious meal in the evening to reward myself and Lu Chuan.

After waking up from a nap, Xu Han took her backpack and went to the nearby hillside to pick ice fruit.

As she walked, Xu Han smelled a faint fragrance, which she felt was particularly familiar. It should be the kind of wild fruit she had eaten.

So I started looking around. As expected, I saw a lot of wild loquats, which were fully ripe at this time, and many of them had rotted.

Seeing the loquats rotting on the ground, Xu Han exclaimed that it was such a pity! She did not pick them in time, causing these wild fruits to rot in the ground.

I felt so sad! But there was nothing I could do except look around to see if there were any loquats that hadn't rotted. Fortunately, there were a lot of loquats nearby, so I picked up a full basket.

Ground loquats are delicious! Xu Han was not in a hurry to pick ice fruit, and started looking for ground loquats on the mountain. If she didn't pick them now, she would really not be able to pick them in two days.

There should be other wild fruits ripening in the mountains. Go for a walk around tomorrow and see if you can pick some August fry, wild grapes, kiwis, etc.

These wild fruits should be in season now. Xu Han didn't plan to miss it again this time. When she went to the mountains before, she had already marked several places with wild fruits.

I don't know if Lu Chuan has time tomorrow to go with him. I'd better go back and ask him! If not, I can explore the road near home tomorrow!

Although you can't go far, you can still go for a walk near home. This place is considered to be the outskirts of the deep mountains, and ordinary people can't come in. There are also many wild fruits nearby.

Xu Han rushed home when the sun set. She had picked a basket of ice fruit and another basket of loquats in the whole afternoon.

At the beginning, I picked a basketful of fruits. Later, I searched a few more places and harvested some fruits every time. In the end, I had enough fruits to fill a backpack.

When I got home, Lu Chuan had already returned.

"I found some loquats today. Come and try some! They're so sweet." Xu Han said.

"It just so happens that I brought you some wild fruits. Look what this is?" Lu Chuan took out the wild fruits from the backpack and handed them to Xu Han.

"Wow! It's fried in August, and it's delicious too!" After Xu Han got it, she couldn't wait to pick one that was already fried and started eating it immediately.

Mm! It's sweet and sticky, very delicious! It just has a lot of seeds, but this doesn't affect its deliciousness at all!
