Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 178 Drought Daily 5

When I got home, it was already late. It seemed that I had no time to water the vegetables today. I could only wait until tomorrow morning to get up early and water them before the sun came out.

Xu Han and Lu Chuan had been wandering in the valley for a whole day, and they didn't have time to dig some fresh wild vegetables today, so they can only wait until the next time they go.

"What are we having for dinner tonight?" Xu Han asked.

"Is there any hot pot prepared in the space? I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time." Lu Chuan said.

"I haven't eaten it for a long time, so let's have hotpot tonight!" Xu Han also agreed with Lu Chuan's suggestion.

Eating hot pot on a hot day feels different. Xu Han fried the hot pot base in the kitchen, then brought it to the main room and placed many of her favorite hot pot dishes on top.

Try some different types of food, such as tripe, tender beef, duck intestines, dried bamboo shoots, various mushrooms, etc.

After everything was arranged, they took out carbonated drinks from the space and started eating.

"How about this new table I made? It's great, right?" Lu Chuan said proudly.

Ever since Xu Han mentioned the table for hotpot last time they had hotpot, Lu Chuan made it very quickly.

It is indeed much more convenient to have this table. I no longer need to place hot pot dishes in a mess.

"Yes, yes, thanks to your table, otherwise I would only be able to eat around the stove!" Xu Han praised generously.

Then the two of them smiled at each other and started to eat. The weather was hot to begin with, and even though there were ice cubes in the room, they were still sweating profusely while eating. The more they ate, the more they wanted to eat, and they couldn't stop eating because of the burning sensation.

After eating and drinking, the two began to talk about the valley.

Xu Han asked, "Do you think we should put some food in the valley just in case?"

"That's fine. I think that cave is quite suitable for storing things. Why don't we seal the entrance of the cave and then put some things that can be preserved for a long time into the cave!" Lu Chuan said.

Without waiting for Xu Han to answer, he continued, "But there is a lot of water there. If the drought continues, there will definitely be a lot of large animals scrambling to go there. It won't be very safe if we put our things there."

"That's right. Small animals don't have much harm, but large animals are different. If we simply build a door, it will definitely be destroyed easily. Will there really be large animals going there?" Xu Han asked again without giving up.

"Yes, animals are also very smart. There is water there, as well as pheasants and rabbits. If they really can't find water to drink, large animals will definitely come in."

"Then would it be unsafe if we lived there?" Xu Han asked anxiously.

“Not only is it unsafe there, it’s also unsafe here, but fortunately our walls are high enough, the houses are all made of bricks, and there are cellars where we can hide temporarily.

Don't be afraid, we are here with the dogs and I! If there is such a day, the dogs will definitely notice it in advance, and then you just hide obediently, our fighting power is not weak. "Lu Chuan comforted.

This is also the reason why the two of them raised so many dogs when people were unable to get enough food during the famine.

These dogs can not only help with hunting, but more importantly, they can protect the two people in times of crisis.

"Well! If that day comes, we will hide in the cellar together. There is so much food in the space, we can last for a long time! And if large animals come and can't find food, they will leave after a long time and will definitely not stay here." Xu Han also said.

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife." Lu Chuan said with a chuckle.

Although there are abundant resources in this deep mountain, and there is no need to compete with the people down the mountain for resources, and there is no need to be wary of people's hearts everywhere, but there are also many unknown dangers...

After they finished dinner, they cleaned up and went to wash up.

The next morning, as soon as it was light, they went to the waterfall to fetch water to water the vegetables.

Now, in addition to the sweet potatoes planted in the fields, the rest are some vegetables and the like.

Most of the crops have been harvested, and only these things are left, making the daily watering task much easier.

And now I water the plants almost once a day. I don’t water them separately, but water them all at once.

After the two of them finished watering the plants, they started to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, Lu Chuan took Xu Han to go lobster fishing again.

Xu Han prepared all the lobsters that were caught last time and put them in the space. After eating them several times in a row, there were not many left.

It's a good time to catch more lobsters now while they are fat.

This time, the two went to the same place where they went to fish for lobsters last time. They could fish here again, and next time they would go to another place to continue fishing. They couldn't just keep fishing in one place, so they could get better results by going to another place.

With the experience from last time, the two of them were much faster this time!

One person guarded a position and began to fight.

"Let's have a competition today to see who can catch the most fish! The loser will have to wash dishes for a month." Xu Han said excitedly.

"Okay! You can't regret it!" Lu Chuan laughed.

"No regrets, no regrets. A gentleman's word is as good as gold. Don't you believe me?" Xu Han also laughed happily.

In fact, Lu Chuan was the one who washed most of the dishes at home. Xu Han liked to cook but didn't like to wash pots and dishes. Lu Chuan had already noticed this.

But it was rare that his wife was in such high spirits, so he certainly couldn't spoil her mood, so he immediately put on a high-spirited look.

Before leaving, the two of them showed their results respectively. The result was obvious, but Lu Chuan lost very well, with only half a bucket less lobsters than Xu Han.

Yes, when two people were competing in lobster fishing, the unit of statistics was not the number of lobsters, but buckets were used as the unit of measurement. After all, they caught a lot of lobsters.

"Hahaha, you lose. You have to wash the dishes for a month. You can't cheat!" Xu Han said happily.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll take care of the dishes for the next month." Lu Chuan acted very generously.

After playing for a while, seeing that the sun was about to set, the two of them walked home hand in hand.

When she got home, Xu Han took a bath first, and then returned to the main room.

While wiping his hair, he said, "Are we going to go lobster fishing tomorrow? Yesterday I saw that the wild vegetables in the valley were growing well. It just so happens that there are not many vegetables to harvest this year. Why don't we go pick some wild vegetables!"

"I haven't picked wild vegetables for a long time. The weather was so dry this year that even wild amaranth didn't grow!" said Xu Han.

"You can pick wild vegetables if you want. Let's go pick wild vegetables first! We can go fishing for lobsters in two days." Lu Chuan said lovingly.
