Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

But when a famine comes, it will be difficult. We don’t know whether we will be able to eat meat every day!

After washing the potatoes, Xu Han came to the front yard, poured the potatoes into the big pot outside, added water, added a large firewood and started cooking.

Since the food could not be finished in one pot, Xu Han started cooking in two pots in the kitchen.

Fortunately, the pot outside is really big, otherwise we would never be able to finish cooking if we cooked in three pots at the same time!

It was lunch time here, and Xu Han took out a portion of rice from the space and ate it with the chicken stewed with mushrooms. After eating, she also had a bowl of kelp soup for herself.

After the potatoes are cooked, take them out directly and put them in a bamboo basket, drain the water a little, and then store them in a space.

The chestnuts that Xu Han picked up some time ago have not been eaten yet, so she simply took out some and roasted them later.

Bake some more and keep them as snacks. You can eat a few when you are bored.

First, clean the fresh chestnuts, and then make a cross cut on them. This step is not easy to do, as the chestnuts are easy to roll away and difficult to cut.

Xu Han found a small piece of wood, flattened it, and used a machete to carve a circle in it. She then fixed the chestnuts inside so that they would not easily run away.

Each chestnut needs to be cut into pieces, otherwise it will not only explode when roasted, but also be difficult to peel. The chestnuts roasted in this way will taste sweeter!

After preparing about one pot, Xu Han started to cook the chestnuts. After boiling over high heat, cook for 20 minutes.

After adding firewood, I went to the yard and lit the oven first. After the chestnuts were cooked, they could be roasted directly.

To make the cooked chestnuts sweeter, you can mix some sugar water on top.

Add sugar, honey and a little cooking oil to the water, stir well and mix it on the chestnuts.

Take out the baking tray, place the chestnuts evenly one by one, and then you can start roasting the chestnuts.

You can take the chestnuts out after the skin cracks.

Xu Han tried one and found it sweet, soft and delicious. It tasted even better when eaten while hot!

There are still some chestnuts left that have not been roasted, so continue roasting until all the chestnuts are roasted. Place them on banana leaves, put them in a small bamboo basket, and store them in your space. You can take them out and eat them whenever you want.

In order to make it easier to put things in, Xu Han picked a lot of banana leaves! She also bought a lot of oil paper to pad things, which she could throw away after use, so the basket wouldn't get dirty.

After finishing all this, the dough has risen and I can continue to steam the buns.

They were busy until the evening before all the steamed buns were steamed. Steaming buns is a strenuous job. After all the buns were steamed, Xu Han was so tired that she couldn't even lift her arms.

After taking out dinner from the space and eating it, Xu Han went to wash the beans.

I've been here for a long time, but I've never eaten sprouts. It just so happens that the beans have been harvested for a while, so I can grow some sprouts to eat.

Pick out the beans and remove the bad or rotten ones, otherwise they will easily become moldy during fermentation.

Wash the selected beans, add water, put them in a wooden basin and soak them overnight, and wait until tomorrow to process them.

I used the same method to soak some mung beans and used them to sprout.

After soaking everything, it’s time to go to bed. Have a good night’s sleep…

The next morning, after Xu Han finished her breakfast, she started to deal with the bean sprouts that she had soaked yesterday. She first rinsed the beans several times with water, and then put them in a bamboo sieve with holes. The bamboo sieve was used to allow the soybeans to take root better.

Then put a layer of cotton cloth wet with water on it and cover it directly.

Finally, place the bamboo sieve in a dark place away from sunlight, otherwise the bean sprouts will turn green.

Rinse it with water every day and re-wet the towel and put it on the surface. If you have time, it is best to rinse it twice more to cool down the soybeans. The bean sprouts will be ready in about four or five days.

After preparing the bean sprouts, Xu Han took out the duck from the space and started processing it.

Every time she processed ducks, Xu Han would keep the down from the ducks! One or two ducks certainly wouldn't have much down, but after processing so many ducks during this period, she had accumulated quite a bit of down.

You can use it to make several down jackets by winter!

But there is still an important problem that has not been solved, that is, how to deal with this duck down? Xu Han has never dealt with this before.

If I use cotton cloth to make clothes, will the duck down come out?

It seemed that down jackets in previous lives were not made of cotton cloth, but rather umbrella cloth or something like that. Xu Han didn’t understand.

There are no other fabrics nowadays. In this era, apart from linen and cotton, there are only satin, silk and the like. I don’t know if it will work or whether the lint will run. I’ll give it a try when the time comes!

By mid-afternoon, Xu Han was still plucking the ducks until her eyes were tired. Lu Chuan finally came back and this time he had hunted another big wild boar. It was also quite big!

Lu Chuan went to deal with the wild boar, while Xu Han continued to deal with the ducks.

They had dinner from the space. Both of them were busy preparing the game, so they didn't make dinner again.

At dinner time, Lu Chuan suddenly said, "This time when I went hunting, I found a pond with a lot of lotus roots in it. The lotus pods have become old, and only a few are tender. Should we pick some and bring them back?"

"Of course! The lotus seeds we picked can be used to make porridge, and the lotus core can be used to make tea!" said Xu Han.

"Okay, I'll go to the county town to sell my game tomorrow, and bring the boat back when I come back. The day after tomorrow we'll go pick lotus pods."

"Okay, we can dig some lotus roots in the near future! Lotus root powder is also very good to drink."

"Okay, I'll bring some more back then."

After dinner, everyone went back to their own work.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. After getting up, Xu Han rinsed the bean sprouts, covered them again and put them in a dark place.

Then start pinching the persimmons. After a few days of drying, the persimmons are ready to be pinched. Just pinch them a few times and you're done.

You don’t need to pick the persimmons when pinching them. Just hang them under the eaves and pinch them directly. After you have pinched them all, it’s time for lunch.

After lunch, Xu Han went out with a basket, picking wolfberries along the way and walking towards where the boats were usually parked.

Lu Chuan is almost back. It would take a lot of effort for him to drag the boat home by himself. Anyway, there is nothing important to do at home, so I might as well go and pick him up!

Why not just use space to cheat? Why bother?
