Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 477 Daily Life

Okay, go back and cook first, and I'll pick the rest."

"No way, let me pick them. I'll pick them right away."

Xu Han smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't be polite. I was doing all these chores before you came, and I'm used to doing them.

Now that you are here, all my work has been divided among them, and now I suddenly don’t know what to do for a moment.”

When Dan Niang heard Xu Han say this, she no longer refused. She simply carried the picked vegetables on her back and went back home to make breakfast.

Seeing that she had returned, Xu Han took over her job and continued to pick the remaining vegetables, and also pulled out the grass that had not been pulled out completely.

After pulling out the weeds, Xu Han put the picked vegetables back home, then went to the fish pond to feed the fish. She also took the dogs to patrol the chicken coop. Seeing that everything went well, she went home.

This feeling made Xu Han feel very comfortable. The house was no longer messy. Everything was in order and clean.

There is no need to be hurried and busy every day. Xu Han simply loves this kind of life.

As soon as Xu Han entered the house, she smelled a very, very fragrant smell. Her stomach growled at once, "Dan Niang, what did you make today? It smells so good."

"Ma'am, I cooked a big pot of cornmeal and fried some cakes."

"Let me help you with this."

After Xu Han finished speaking, she went into the kitchen and started cooking with Dan Niang.

After breakfast was ready, Xu Han took out some pickled vegetables she had made herself for them to eat. As expected, they received a lot of praise and everyone liked them very much.

Dan Niang said, "Madam, this pickled vegetable is really good. It tastes much better than mine. It tastes very good. Maybe you put something else in it? It tastes different from the pickled vegetables I have eaten before."

Seeing that everyone liked the food, Xu Han was also very happy. She smiled and said, "I did add some other things. It just so happens that there are not many pickles left. I will teach you how to pickle them next time."

"Yes, yes, thank you, ma'am."

After breakfast, everyone got busy again. Lu Chuan led people to continue cleaning the foundation, while Xu Han followed the others to go into the field.

She pointed to the endless fields and said to everyone, "The crops around here are all ours, including corn, soybeans, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

The land is not a lot, but it is not a small amount either. Together with the vegetable plot, it is about 26 mu in total. Our task in the next two days is to pull out all the weeds in the crop plot, turn over the vines of the sweet potatoes, and remove the vegetable seedlings from the vegetable plots as needed.”

Xu Han paused and continued, "We also planted the orchard next to it. After we pulled out the weeds in the field, we also need to deal with the weeds in the orchard, and we also need to find a place to plant the new high-pressure fruit trees. After all this busy work, it's almost time for the autumn harvest."

Mrs. Li said, "Don't worry, Madam. We are all used to farm work. We can do these jobs quickly. It will be done in a few days."

Xu Han smiled and said, "Okay, you guys start working, I'll go tidy up the flowers and plants in the yard.

When the sun gets high, go back and take a rest, but don't get heatstroke.

Don't just think about the work in the fields. You should also continue to work on the clothes and shoes that have not been finished. It's just that the sun is getting brighter now, so you can go back and do your needlework without delaying either."

"Hey, we got it ma'am."

After everyone responded, they all went down to the fields, bent down and started working.

Xu Han didn't waste any time. She got up and went back to the yard. After putting on a straw hat, she began to trim the flowers and plants in the yard.

Just when we had trimmed half of the grass, the Taoist priest came back pushing a cart.

As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Girl, I brought you the manure you asked for. How can you use this? Let me help you. It smells really bad."

After hearing the sound in the backyard, Xu Han ran over in a hurry without even putting down the tools in her hands, fearing that the Taoist priest would attack the flowers she had carefully cared for a while.

"Master, I'll take care of where you put it. I'll be done soon. Can you help me clean up the dead leaves and branches that I cut?"

"Okay, I'll sweep it." After saying that, the Taoist priest picked up the broom beside him and started cleaning the yard.

After Xu Han trimmed the last few branches, she began to fertilize the flowers.

First dig a hole at the roots of the flowers, then put manure in it, and finally cover it with soil.

The Taoist priest saw Xu Han burying fertilizer and asked, "Do you want to water the plants? I'll go get some water!"

Xu Han looked up at the sultry weather and said, "Stop watering. I think the weather is not very good. It's very hot and humid. I think it's going to rain."

The Taoist priest looked up at the sky and said, "Well, it's going to rain soon. Let's not water the plants, and save some trouble."

Before we knew it, it was noon again. Xu Han and Dan Niang made today's lunch together.

Simple whole grain corn rice, paired with cold cucumbers and spicy and sour potato shreds, although simple, it tastes delicious to everyone.

After lunch, Xu Han made a large bowl of sour and sweet jam water for everyone, which was both refreshing and appetizing.

Xu Han's family all have the habit of taking a nap, so after lunch, they all go back to their rooms to take a nap.

The servants had no habit of taking naps, so the women and girls took advantage of this time to hurry up with their needlework, trying to make clothes, shoes and other things for everyone as soon as possible.

The men were not idle either. There were not enough chairs at home, so Han Qi took them to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo to make chairs.

Chairs made of bamboo are also very sturdy. A bamboo chair can even be used for decades without breaking.

Moreover, people are now preparing to start building a house in the valley, so we should prepare the furniture and other things there in our spare time.

However, these people don’t know how to make furniture, whether it’s bamboo furniture or wooden furniture. In the end, they may still need Lu Chuan’s help and guidance.

Although Lu Chuan's craftsmanship is not very sophisticated, it can be used after all, so it is better to save money by buying it.

The most important thing now is to prepare the materials needed first. As long as the materials are prepared, everything will be done quickly in the future. Strength lies in numbers, and work can be done efficiently.

Of course, not all furniture needs to be made of bamboo. During the disaster years, Lu Chuan and Xu Han picked up a lot of dead trees in the mountains and brought them home. They are now piled on an open space in the distance.

When you need it, just go and get it. Everything is dried, so it is very convenient to take it whenever you need it.
