Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 307 Bamboo shoots springing up after the rain

"Let's dig out some of the densely grown bamboo shoots first. This way we can eat them and help the bamboo grow better."

After Xu Han finished speaking, they started to act. It must be said that there were really a lot of bamboo shoots. In a short while, the two of them had dug a basket full of them.

The bamboo shoots here are all very large, the kind that you can eat just one for a meal.

After filling up a backpack, Xu Han took out a new backpack.

They kept digging until they were hungry, and then they stopped.

"The bamboo shoots grow really densely. Let's dig some more today and make some sour bamboo shoots and pickled pepper bamboo shoots when we get home," said Xu Han.

"If there are any leftovers, just dry some bamboo shoots. This will make the barbecue delicious."

"Okay, if it's not enough, we can dig more. It won't work if the bamboo shoots grow too densely, because they won't grow big."

"Okay, I just saw bamboo fungus eggs. Do you want to look for some bamboo fungus later?" Lu Chuan asked.

"This is also fine. After lunch, let's look for it in the bamboo forest and go back to make chicken soup for Mu'er."

After Xu Han finished speaking, he took out the food from the space. The two of them found a clean place and sat down to have lunch.

After lunch, Xu Han took a short break and went into the bamboo forest with the basket, while Lu Chuan continued to dig bamboo shoots.

It’s true, although mushrooms don’t grow in this season, it is the season for bamboo fungus to grow. After a round, Xu Han actually picked up quite a few bamboo shoots.

"Lu Chuan, look, I picked up a lot of bamboo fungus, enough for several meals."

"There are really a lot of them. If we can't finish them, we can dry them in the sun and eat them later."

"We have eaten all the bamboo fungi we picked up before. Mu'er has rarely eaten them. Now we can finally eat them." Xu Han said with a smile as he looked at the bamboo fungi he picked up.

"I have dug a lot of bamboo shoots here. You can put them away and let's go home. It's getting late." Lu Chuan said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll collect them." Xu Han quickly put the bamboo shoots that Lu Chuan had placed into the space...

On the way home, the dogs ran around freely. They followed the two people in the mountains for a whole day, but they didn't catch any prey.

However, there were prey in the mountains. When the dogs were about to chase the prey, they were stopped by Lu Chuan.

There were few prey in the mountains, and spring was the breeding season. Since the family didn't lack meat, Lu Chuan didn't let the dogs catch prey.

It’s better to wait until it grows up before catching it and eating it. It won’t take too long.

When they got home, Grandpa Zhao was holding Ze'er and looking at the flowers in the yard.

As soon as Ze'er saw Xu Han coming in, he immediately struggled to get closer to Xu Han, wanting Xu Han to hug him.

Xu Han ignored him and put down the backpack first. She kissed Mu'er beside her and then went to kiss Ze'er.

"Mom's hands are very dirty. Wait for me to change clothes and wash my hands before I hug you." After Xu Han said this, she ignored Ze'er's reaction and turned to go to the bathroom to wash her hands.

Then he changed into clean clothes and took Ze'er from Grandpa Zhao's hands.

"Didn't you say you were going to look for mushrooms? Where are the mushrooms? Bring some out for me to wash and fry some for you later." Grandpa Zhao said.

"The mushrooms haven't come out yet! Today I only found some black fungus, enough for one meal, but I also picked up a lot of bamboo fungi and dug up a lot of bamboo shoots." Lu Chuan said.

"Then let's use bamboo shoots to make chicken soup, and then stir-fry bamboo shoots with bacon."

"Hahahaha, I thought so too." Xu Han laughed.

Then he put Ze'er in Lu Chuan's arms and went into the kitchen.

First, he took out a few bamboo shoots, then took out some more bamboo shoots, and put the rest into the space to keep them fresh.

Grandpa Zhao took the ingredients handed over by Xu Han, cleaned them first, and then, under Xu Han's instructions, boiled the chicken soup, and blanched the bamboo shoots and put them aside for later use.

Xu Han took advantage of this time to spend some time with her children whom she hadn't seen for a day.

After Grandpa Zhao had dealt with the matter, Xu Han went to the kitchen and started cooking.

Everyone likes to eat bamboo shoots fried with bacon. Xu Han also added some green and red peppers to it, which made the taste better and the color more beautiful.

After the meal, the three of them held their stomachs contentedly and lay motionless on their chairs.

"I'm so full. This cured beef is so fragrant. The meat is red when fried. It tastes better as it ages."

"Hahaha, luckily we made a lot at that time, otherwise we would have eaten it all long ago. Now there are still about 30 kilograms in the space, enough for us to eat through this year."

"Let's see if we can catch a few more in the winter, and then we can make some more. Everyone likes to eat this. And there are sausages, which are also delicious."

"We have finished eating the sausages, but there is still some beef in the space. We can make some more if we want to eat it."

"Then let's make some more. Mu'er likes the original flavor." Lu Chuan said.

"I think you want to eat it yourself, and you use your son as an excuse." Grandpa Zhao teased.

After being exposed, Lu Chuan said nothing, but just laughed.

"I'll make some tomorrow. The temperature isn't too high right now, so I should be able to make it."

"Then I will help you cut the branches back tomorrow morning when I get up."

"Okay, go cut them early. It's hard to find cypress branches right now. If you can't find any, it doesn't matter. You can just dry them in the sun."

"I see. I'll go look for it first."

After chatting for a while, they went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, when Xu Han got up, Lu Chuan had already found the branches, but he didn't find many, so they were just enough to be used.

"Let's go outside and tidy up the vegetable garden. Can you stay at home and take care of the children?" Lu Chuan asked.

"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll take out the building blocks for Mu'er and let him play by himself. By the way, put Ze'er next to him so the two brothers can stay together. They are still young and won't fight, so it's okay." Xu Han said as she cleaned the table.

"Okay, if you have any problems, just shout. We can hear you." Grandpa Zhao reminded.

Because a new house was built in the backyard, occupying a large area, the vegetable garden in the backyard is now much smaller.

Excluding the space for raising chickens, ducks and geese, and the space for washing vegetables, the amount of space left for growing vegetables becomes much smaller.

All the vegetable plots this year are planned to be placed outside. Last year, Lu Chuan and Grandpa Zhao had already tidied up the area in front of the yard.

That is, the places where pumpkins and winter melons were planted before are now divided into pieces and used to grow vegetables.

When the time comes, we will surround the area with a fence so that animals from outside cannot get in. Besides, there are so many dogs at home, so ordinary small animals will not dare to come here.

It is also very convenient to put the vegetable garden outside. It is only two steps away from home and easy to pick.
