Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 435 Rabbit Leather Slippers

Fortunately, Xu Han had the space, otherwise there would be no way to preserve the chicken and duck eggs if they were not eaten.

Time in space is still. Everything put in it will not go bad. No matter how long it is, when you take it out, it will be the same as when you put it in.

Put the pickled salted duck eggs in the warehouse. Xu Han went out again. The temperature in the mountains was low and it was about to freeze. Xu Han thought about putting down a few fishing nets in the fish pond in the next two days to catch all the bigger fish. After processing them, she would put them in the space so that she could eat them directly next time she wanted to eat them.

Xu Han turned and went to the tool room, took out eight fish baskets, carried them out the door, put the fish baskets on the side of the road, turned around and took the tools to the place where manure was piled.

You need to put some fish food in the fish basket to lure the fish into the basket, and once they are in, it will be difficult for them to get out.

During this period of time, small fish fry have been continuously added to the fish pond at home. Sometimes, the fish fry caught by the creek are thrown into the fish pond.

When they have nothing to do, the family will throw some wild vegetables and fruits into the fish pond to feed the fish.

As time goes by, the fish fry in the fish pond grows bigger and bigger.

When they want to eat fish, they will come and catch a few and cook them, and the small fish will continue to be thrown into the fish pond to feed.

Because the fish are fed intentionally, the fish in the pond grow faster than the fish in the river.

Although the fish pond at home is not small, there are really a lot of fish in it, and there are many varieties, including silver carp, grass carp, crucian carp, and all kinds of things. I didn't pick them deliberately.

In addition, each type of fish has different ways of being eaten. For example, crucian carp is best suited for making soup, while grass carp is suitable for boiled fish. Therefore, Xu Han is even less picky when raising fish and accepts all varieties.

Xu Han put the fish basket down, and then drained the water from the lotus root pond next to it, so that when Lu Chuan came back, they could harvest the lotus roots. Draining the water would make it easier to harvest the lotus roots, and at least it wouldn't be too cold.

When she finished all this, the morning had passed and Xu Han hurriedly started to prepare lunch for the family.

Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest are not at home today, so I can cook less. In this way, I made some simple and light meals.

The meals on the dining table at home are rarely so light. Usually, the meals are spicy and heavy in flavor. But today, since the two of them are not at home, Xu Han specially prepared light meals.

A dish of cabbage and tofu, a serving of chicken soup with chicken mushrooms, and a dish of boiled shrimp. Just two simple dishes and one soup, paired with fragrant white rice, the four of them enjoyed the meal very much.

Especially Ze'er, he ate two small bowls of rice soaked in chicken soup. If Xu Han hadn't stopped him, he would probably have eaten another bowl. Although he is small in stature, he has a big appetite.

After lunch, Xu Han couldn't sit still and started preparing winter shoes for her family.

Mu'er is growing fast and her shoes from last year are no longer wearable. But we can't throw them away either. They are in good condition and not rotten or torn. I will keep them for Ze'er to wear in the future.

Xu Han took out some rabbit skins from the warehouse and planned to make two pairs of shoes for Mu'er.

She still had quite a few pairs of shoes. She had made a lot of rabbit leather boots in the past two years. Although they were not brand new, they were not broken after all. Many of them were still about 80% to 90% new. As long as they were not damaged, Xu Han did not make more for herself.

However, Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest should make two more pairs. Grandpa Zhao doesn't go out often, so his shoes are not worn out very badly, so just make another pair.

In addition, Xu Han plans to make a few pairs of slippers, which will be made every year. Two pairs per person will be convenient for replacement.

Xu Han's slippers are also made of rabbit hair, but the soles are made of Thousand-layer soles, wrapped in rabbit skin, which are waterproof and warm.

It is very convenient for going to the toilet or something like that, and in winter, you can wear it in the yard to get on and off the kang without going out. It is much more convenient than wearing rabbit boots.

The only bad thing is that your heels will get cold and you can't wear it outside all the time. Fortunately, everyone stays indoors in the winter, and there are charcoal basins lit in the house, so it's not that cold.

The style of the slippers is the same as modern cotton slippers, and the lining of the shoes is made of rabbit fur, which is soft and very comfortable.

Making slippers is much easier than making leather boots, and with the help of the magic tool, Xu Han only took three days to make all the shoes.

On the fourth day, Xu Han had just finished lunch and had not had time to clean up the dishes when Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest came back from the mountains.

The door was slammed by Lu Chuan. "Wife, open the door quickly, I'm back."

Xu Han was packing things in the house. Mu'er heard her father's voice and ran to open the door without waiting for Xu Han to react.

Behind him was Ze'er who was also running happily.

Both of them were looking forward to seeing what kind of prey their father would hunt in the mountains this time. In their hearts, their father was a very powerful man.

Not only can it hunt ordinary small prey, it can even hunt super ferocious tigers.

Although Ze'er couldn't remember the tiger that Lu Chuan had killed, he couldn't help but hear his brother talking about it in his ear every day!

This time when Lu Chuan went hunting, Ze'er was looking forward to his father coming back from hunting a big tiger every day. I just don't know how Lu Chuan, the person involved, felt when he knew what his son was thinking.

Mu'er opened the door and threw herself into Lu Chuan's arms when she saw him. Ze'er was not far behind and they both jumped into his arms together.

Lu Chuan held one in each hand. Fortunately, he was very strong, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he couldn't hold them.

Mu'er rubbed Lu Chuan and said, "Daddy, I missed you so much. You are finally back."

"Hahaha, my dear son, Daddy misses you too."

Ze'er held Lu Chuan's head and forced him to look at her quickly, "Daddy, tiger, big tiger."

Lu Chuan laughed helplessly, "Zer, do you want to see the tiger? But Daddy didn't catch the tiger this time. When you grow up, you can catch it yourself, okay?"

Ze'er, who didn't quite understand, happily responded, "Okay." As he said that, he did not forget to clapped his own hands to show encouragement.

Seeing this, Xu Han and Grandpa Zhao also hurried out.

Grandpa Zhao opened the gate wider and said, "You guys are back. Are you injured? How was your harvest?"

The Taoist priest came out from the back upon hearing this and said triumphantly, "How could he be injured? Hahaha, the harvest was average, we only hunted two cows."

Xu Han could feel the Taoist priest's boasting through the crowd, but when she heard that it was two cows, she quickly took a step forward, curious about how they transported them back.

When I approached the gate of the courtyard and looked out, I saw a stretcher made of shrubs, with two backpacks and a makeshift basket on it.

After seeing it carefully, wow, it's really amazing. It's quite smart that they thought of processing the cattle before bringing it back.
