Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Boil some rice soup in the pot, then put a grate on it, then wash a few salted duck eggs and cook them together with the chicken eggs.

Peel the garlic, add salt and mash it. Then put the boiled eggs in and mash it. Add sesame oil and MSG. You can also add some light soy sauce, which will make it taste better.

I took out the pickled cucumbers and chili peppers I made some time ago from the cellar and ate them with the unpaste bread. They tasted great.

After preparing dinner, Xu Han went to the wasteland to call Lu Chuan to come back for dinner.

"Don't do it yet. Dinner is ready. Let's eat first! We'll do it tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go back now."

After dinner, the two sat in the yard to rest for a while, then got up to wash up and go to bed.

The next morning, Xu Han got up early to make breakfast, as she still needed to plow the fields with Lu Chuan today.

We have a plow at home. The soil in the mountains is very good. There is a thick layer of dead leaves accumulated over the years, and the soil is very loose.

The stones and tree roots had been cleared away last time we reclaimed the land, so this time we can use a plow and harrow to cultivate the land, which will be easier.

Although the soil is very soft, it is still very tiring to plow it with manpower.

It would be nice to have a cow, but our home is not suitable for raising cows. Cows are very strong and eat a lot, and we cannot keep them outside in the deep mountains. We don’t have time to cut grass to feed the cow, so we have never raised a cow.

Fortunately, there is not much land at home, and it does not need to be cultivated all at once.

This time, I will plant about 6 mu of potatoes. I will plant potatoes in the place where I harvested corn and soybeans before. After all, potatoes are easy to grow and have a high yield.

Later on, you can save it as supplementary food for the dogs at home. It will be much more economical than eating flour every day!

Although growing your own crops is a bit more laborious and time-consuming, it is still much more cost-effective than buying them from others. You should save as much as possible! There are still many other places to spend money later!

Xu Han and his wife’s main idea is to grow what you can grow yourself. If you really can’t grow it, you can just spend money to buy it. It’s not like there is no place to grow it, so why waste the money!

After finishing breakfast, the two went to the backyard to pick the recently ripened vegetables, and then went to the wasteland to start cultivating the land.

Today I called out all the puppies at home, and they are right at the doorstep. I don’t need to walk far, and I don’t have to worry about them running away. Heifeng and Heidian are watching them here!

As soon as the puppies arrived at the wasteland, they ran around wildly. Xu Han ignored them and started to plow the land with Lu Chuan.

I was busy until lunch time and only plowed one acre of land. It would take seven days to plow all the land, and after plowing, I needed to make ridges! Only after the ridges were made, it would be convenient to plant potatoes.

After finishing their meal, the two continued to work, and this continued for several days...

In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth day. Xu Han got up early in the morning to prepare potato seeds. There were a lot of potato seeds to prepare this time, and it was also a big project.

First, cut the potatoes with sprouts, divide the small ones into two and the large ones into four, then wrap the wounds with wood ash and set aside.

The land outside has been plowed and Lu Chuan is making ridges for the potatoes. They can be planted tomorrow!

It took Xu Han a whole morning to cut all the potatoes. After finishing, she felt like her hands were not her own. Her wrists were so sore that she couldn't lift them.

I don’t want to make lunch, so I’ll just eat the food in the space.

In the afternoon, Xu Han was tidying up the vegetable garden at home. The weeds in the garden had grown tall. If they were not pulled out, they would affect the growth of vegetables.

After pulling out the weeds, I'll deal with the branches of the vegetables. I haven't taken good care of the vegetable garden recently, and there are so many things to do that I'm busy all afternoon.

In the evening, Xu Han planned to make a boiled fish fillet. She hadn't eaten it for a long time. The last time she made it, she had put it in the space and had eaten it long ago.

Take out a few large fish, clean them and start filleting them. First, remove the fish bones, then use a knife to fillet the fish diagonally.

The sliced ​​fish cannot be too thin, otherwise it will break easily, nor can it be too thick, otherwise it will not be flavorful. This step is particularly challenging for your knife skills.

Fill a basin with fish fillets, wash the fillets repeatedly with clean water until there is no blood. Then squeeze out the water and start marinating the fillets.

Add a little salt to the fish fillets, adjust the base flavor, and then start to fillet the fish. When the fillets become sticky and viscous, add starch.

This starch is the leftover from the previous potato drying. There is not much left. It is just enough for this time! I need to make some more next time.

Starch needs to be added in several times and cannot be added all at once, otherwise there will be lumps easily.

You also need to add an appropriate amount of egg white. This step is to make the fish fillets more tender and smooth.

After the fish fillets are coated with batter, set them aside and start preparing the base soup. The base soup will not taste good if it is made with plain water, it must be made with fish soup.

Clean the remaining fish heads and fish bones, heat oil in a pan, put the fish heads and fish bones in the pan and fry until both sides are golden brown, add boiling water, and the fish soup will turn white instantly.

After boiling over high heat, add appropriate amount of bean paste and hot pot base, and then add seasonings to taste.

After the water boils, pour the vegetables prepared in advance into the pot and blanch them. Suddenly I remembered that bean sprouts are missing. Next time I must grow some bean sprouts myself!

Place the blanched vegetables at the bottom of the basin, then continue to blanch the fish fillets. The fish fillets must be put in one piece at a time, otherwise they will easily stick together and will not separate.

After blanching, put all into a bowl, add appropriate amount of peppercorns, chili peppers and sesame seeds, pour some hot oil on it to bring out the aroma, and finally garnish with coriander. A delicious boiled fish fillet is ready.

The staple food is still rice, and the fish soup from boiled fish fillets is also very delicious, so there is no need to make soup.

After everything was ready, Xu Han went outside to call Lu Chuan to come home for dinner.

"You've already finished everything! I've also prepared dinner, let's go home and eat!"

"Okay, I was planning to go back too!" After saying that, he stood up, and the two went home to eat together.

"Wash your hands first. I'll serve the meal. I made boiled fish fillets today!"

After saying that, Xu Han turned and went into the kitchen, and brought the prepared food to the table in the yard outside.

Lu Chuan also washed his hands and got ready to eat.

"Today's food looks delicious, with good color, aroma and taste. I can even eat an extra bowl of rice!" Lu Chuan said applaudingly.

"If it's delicious, eat more. I made a lot more and put them in the space."

"Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Let's go to the county town sometime! We have a lot of things to buy!" Xu Han suggested.
