Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 276 Digging fish ponds

They are all dug and built close to the edge and do not block the road. Even if you don’t look carefully, you can’t see that there is a big fish pond here.

By then, you can plant a lot of lotus flowers, and whenever you want to eat fish, you can come and catch them, which is very convenient.

You need to dig the pit of the fish pond first. The pit does not need to be too deep, just about right.

The pond for planting lotus does not need to be too deep, so the two ponds can be dug quite quickly.

After the pond is dug, use a layer of concrete to waterproof the pond to prevent subsequent water seepage, or fish and shrimp from digging holes and escaping.

The general process of digging and building a pond is similar to that of building a reservoir, except that it is not as deep as a reservoir.

Lu Chuan, Yunhua, Grandpa Zhao and the other two dug a fish pond here, while Zhao Yunyun and Xu Han took Mu'er home.

The three of them can't help much here, so they might as well go home and rest. They can also make a delicious meal for everyone when they have time in the afternoon.

"What do you want to eat tonight? Let's make dinner early today." Xu Han asked.

"I've been away for so long, and what I want to eat most is the hotpot made by Sister Xiaohan. Let's eat hotpot again." Zhao Yunyun said.

"Okay, then we'll have hotpot today. Knowing that you would be coming back, your brother-in-law went to the mountains to catch pheasants. The soup base is the most delicious." Xu Han said with a smile.

"Then I have to thank my brother-in-law." Zhao Yunyun said with a smile, holding Xu Han's arm.

"I'll go stew the chicken soup first, and then wash the vegetables. We can eat them directly when they come back." Xu Han said as he walked into the warehouse and took out a fresh chicken.

In fact, this chicken is in the space, but if you don’t say this, you won’t be able to eat meat today. People have come from far away to help, and it’s not okay for them to only eat vegetables.

Xu Han only took out a pheasant, some vegetables and mushrooms, and did not take out anything else.

The flood has just passed not long ago. If we rashly take out a lot of meat, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

"There are not many ingredients for this hot pot. When you come next time, I will ask your brother-in-law to prepare the dishes in advance. The harvest has been bad in recent years and food is limited. Let's make do with what we have for now." Xu Han walked into the kitchen with the ingredients and said to Zhao Yunyun.

"It's okay, Sister Xiaohan, I understand." Zhao Yunyun said happily.

Zhao Yunyun, who is away from home, has a deep understanding of what the years have been like. Having something to eat and being able to eat enough is already better than many people.

How could you complain that the ingredients are not rich enough or that there is not enough meat?

Seeing that Zhao Yunyun really didn't care, Xu Han didn't say anything. The two of them stewed the chicken soup together, and then took Mu'er to the main room to play.

Outside the yard, Lu Chuan and the other three were digging a hole in full swing. It must be said that Yun Hua was a good digger, with great strength and working fast.

He looked like a good worker in everyone's eyes and a good son-in-law in the eyes of the people. Lu Chuan couldn't help but admire him and sighed that he could not compare with Yun Hua.

"Yunhua, you are as good as me and Grandpa Zhao together. Today I'll give you a big chicken leg as a reward." Lu Chuan teased.

"Okay then, I'll work hard just for this chicken leg." Yunhua said with great enthusiasm.

"When working with Yunhua, I can't be lazy even if I want to. He speeds up the pace unconsciously. Yunhua, you have to consider my old bones." Grandpa Zhao joked.

"Hahahaha, Grandpa Zhao, please don't compete with me. If I sprain my waist, Yunyun will tear me apart."

"I can't guarantee that." Grandpa Zhao said with a smile. The three of them were talking and laughing while digging the pit.

Yunhua was responsible for digging, Grandpa Zhao was responsible for putting the dug soil into the basket, and Lu Chuan was responsible for picking out the soil and piling it by the side of the pond.

The three of them take turns doing different jobs to prevent one person from being too tired from working for too long.

After the sun went down, Xu Han saw that no one had returned yet, so she sent Mu'er to call them for dinner.

Xu Han was not worried that Mu'er would get lost, because she was right at the doorstep, and Lu Chuan and the others would be able to see her as soon as she went out.

Besides, the dog can accompany her, there is no danger near home, and there are no wild animals of any size. In addition, Mu'er is a very obedient child, so Xu Han is quite relieved.

Children always need to be trained slowly and cannot be protected too well. Letting them challenge some things from time to time is also a kind of growth for them.

"Daddy, mommy is calling us to eat~" Mu'er happily ran towards Lu Chuan and the others with Peanuts.

Before I reached the place, I heard Mu'er shouting loudly.

Seeing this, the three of them began to prepare for the finishing work. When Mu'er came up to them, Yunhua picked up Mu'er.

"Mu'er, what delicious food did your mother make today? Tell your uncle quickly."

"Guoguo, chicken." When Mu'er heard about food, she waved her little arms happily and said excitedly.

"Looks like we're in for a treat today! Let's go home and eat hotpot." After Yunhua said that, he put Mu'er on his shoulders and ran towards home with Mu'er on his back.

Mu'er, who was carried up, laughed loudly and had a lot of fun.

The only people left by the fish pond were Lu Chuan, who was cleaning up the mess, and Grandpa Zhao, who was walking slowly forward.

When everyone got home, Zhao Yunyun had already arranged the side dishes. When she saw several people coming in, she quickly got up to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Xu Han went to the warehouse to get some wine. Everyone hadn't had a drink for a long time, so they took advantage of the happy day and had a drink together to cheer themselves up.

"This is the wine we brewed before the drought. I've never been willing to drink it, so I saved it for everyone to drink together." Xu Han said as he poured the wine.

"You two don't know, usually when the Taoist priest wants to drink, Xiaohan is reluctant to let us drink. She only gives us a little at a time and won't let us drink any more." Grandpa Zhao said with a smile.

"Isn't it because you two are always drinking too much? I'm doing this for your own good." Xu Han defended.

"Sister Xiaohan is right. Grandpa, you and the Taoist priest should not drink together. You always get drunk. I should control you." Zhao Yunyun continued.

"Hahahaha, see Yunyun said so, it's not that I'm reluctant to give it to you guys."

"Okay, okay, you're all right. We can finally drink today."

"You can do that today, but you can't drink too much." Zhao Yunyun said.

"The wine made by Xiaohan is better than the one bought outside. Especially this fruit wine, which is sour and sweet and very delicious. It is suitable for you girls. It would be better if it was stronger." Yunhua picked up a glass of wine, took a sip and said.

"Next time I have the chance, I will try to brew some stronger liquor. If I succeed, you can drink stronger liquor next time." Xu Han said.
