Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 305 Pulling out the Bamboo Thorns

Seeing this, several people hurried into the house. Xu Han handed some fruits to Lu Chuan. Lu Chuan was very tactful and went to the sink in the backyard to wash the fruits.

"After eating the fruit, I instantly felt alive again." Xu Han stretched comfortably.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter. It's almost time to transplant the seedlings grown in the backyard," Lu Chuan asked.

"Well, it's time to transplant. Pull out the bamboo thorns outside the courtyard wall this afternoon. Starting tomorrow, let's put aside the flower beds in the yard and plant the crops first. Otherwise, we won't have any vegetables to eat this year."

"Okay, there's a lot to do. It's all work every day."

"Hahahaha, this year is not as idle as previous years." Grandpa Zhao laughed.

"Being busy is better than being idle. When you are idle, it's like you have thorns all over your body." As Lu Chuan spoke, he twisted his body as if he really had thorns on his body.

"Let's have garlic noodles for lunch. The temperature is high today, so this is just right for eating." Grandpa Zhao changed the subject.

"Okay, then I'll go make the soup and let it cool down."

"I'll help you." Lu Chuan also stood up.

In fact, now is not the best time to eat garlic noodles. Wait until the cucumbers and wild vegetables come down, at the end of April, then they will taste delicious.

However, these things are all in Xu Han’s space, so if we want to eat them now, we have the ingredients.

Xu Han first took out the necessary side dishes and washed them, then kneaded a piece of dough and put it aside to rise.

Cut the cleaned tomatoes into small pieces, cut the cucumber into thin strips, and cut some beans and set aside.

Heat oil in a pan, put tomatoes in the pan after the oil is hot and stir-fry to release the tomato juice, then put the beans in the pan, add water and bring to a boil over high heat.

Beat a few eggs in a bowl, stir them and pour them into the pot.

Finally, put the cleaned wild amaranth into the pot. After boiling, you can serve it out and let it cool.

Wild Amaranth is the soul of garlic noodles. When other vegetables are used instead, Xu Han always feels that something is missing and it doesn’t have the taste of her mother’s.

In the past, every April and May, when Xu Han returned home, her mother would make this garlic sprouts.

After coming here, Xu Han would habitually add more wild amaranth when making garlic sprouts, but she always felt that it was not as delicious as her mother's.

After the soup has cooled, pour the cucumber shreds, shepherd's purse and garlic juice into the soup.

Then rinse the boiled noodles with cold water several times and put them into the soup, and a bowl of delicious garlic noodles is ready.

"Come and eat." Lu Chuan shouted loudly. Then he brought the basin to the main room, and whoever wanted to eat more could add more directly.

"Hahaha, I haven't eaten garlic noodles for a long time, almost half a year, and I'm craving for it." Grandpa Zhao said as he served the noodles.

"The weather is getting hotter. I can eat more of these garlic noodles in the future."

"We can also eat Liangpi noodles. It's just right for eating at noon when the weather is hot."

"Then when I have time next time, I will make more and put it in the space. I can just mix it when I want to eat it."

"Okay, we usually have work to do, so we can do it together next time it rains."

"That's a good suggestion. I'll have something to do when it rains."

"After lunch, let's take a nap. After we wake up, we can go and pull out the bamboo thorns." Xu Han suggested.

"Sure, the daytime is too long anyway, so I can take a nap to avoid the sun, and then continue working after I wake up."

"Well, I haven't had a nap for a long time, and I'm a little uncomfortable." Lu Chuan said.

"Hahahaha, you are destined to be a hard-working person. You are not even used to taking a lunch break." Xu Han joked with a smile.

"You'll get used to it after sleeping for two days. The days are long in the summer, and you really can't hold on if you don't take a nap at noon." Grandpa Zhao joked.

"Okay, I'll go wash the dishes first, you guys go to bed first."

When Xu Han woke up, Mu'er had already gotten up, and Ze'er was also awake, so Xu Han put Ze'er in the stroller, and they went out of the yard together.

Sure enough, Lu Chuan and Grandpa Zhao were pulling out bamboo thorns.

Seeing this, Xu Han put Ze'er aside, asked Mu'er to play with him, and joined the team pulling out bamboo thorns.

The three of them worked much faster and finished pulling out all the bamboo thorns in one afternoon.

"There are so many bamboo thorns, enough to burn for a long time." Lu Chuan said as he hugged the bamboo thorns.

"Pile these together first so they are easier to hold when burning."

After the three of them had piled up all the bamboo thorns, the sun had set.

Xu Han handed the child to Grandpa Zhao, and the two of them walked towards the hillside next to them.

The two have not been here since they planted the fruit tree seedlings. They were going to come here to water the trees, but it rained later and they never came.

Lu Chuan looked around and said, "It's good. It didn't get blown down even in the rain."

"It's been four or five days since these fruit trees were planted, and I don't know if they have grown roots yet."

"It should be soon. This rain comes just in time and will help the saplings take root better."

"We can't see anything now. Wait a few days for the seeds to sprout and then we'll know the survival rate."

"At present, the branches of these fruit trees are still alive, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

"The weeds in this field grow really fast. They came out right after the rain. If they get bigger, we have to pull them out in time."

"Yes, with so much land, just weeding will be a huge project in the future." Lu Chuan said with a smile.

"Isn't that good? I'll find you a job so you don't have to get thorns all over your body." Xu Han also retorted with a smile.

The two of them started walking back, chatting and laughing all the way. When they arrived home, they saw Grandpa Zhao helping Mu'er review her homework. Ze'er was also lying in the stroller beside them, babbling and playing by himself.

When Lu Chuan and Xu Han saw this scene, they simultaneously withdrew the foot they had just stepped forward.

If Ze'er found out about the two of them, he would inevitably cry and ask to be taken out to play.

This child really can't stay still. As long as someone is free, he wants someone to take him out for a walk around the yard, looking at this and that.

When Xu Han was busy, she would put him in the yard by himself. He didn't cry or make any trouble, but just played happily by himself.

But it’s a different story if you leave him alone in the room, he’ll definitely cry.

If he didn't see Xu Han, he could still play by himself for a while, but if he saw Xu Han, he would immediately ask to be picked up and would not lie down no matter what.

"Go to the backyard and see if the chickens and ducks have been fed. I'll go to the kitchen to boil some water. We don't have any drinking water." Xu Han ordered.

"Well, I'll clean the chicken coop later. I think there's some quicklime at home. I'll sprinkle some on the chicken coop to disinfect it."

"Yes, it's in the warehouse, go get it yourself."

Then the two of them started to get busy with their own things.
