Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 160 Small Root Garlic

The next morning, Lu Chuan and Xu Han started working in the wasteland early in the morning. It took them two more days to finish planting all the vegetables for the family.

The next day, after finishing breakfast, the two of them carried their backpacks and took their hoes to go to the valley to dig wild vegetables.

Although it hasn't rained during this period, there was a heavy snowfall in December. The humidity of the ground is still okay now, not too dry, otherwise there wouldn't be so many wild vegetables growing.

Lu Chuan and Xu Han had just walked out of the house not far when Xu Han saw a large field of small garlic roots, each one of which was particularly plump and delicious.

The two men immediately put down their backpacks and started digging with hoes. They could dig a large handful with one hoe.

It is so addictive, there are probably few people who can resist this temptation!

After digging out the fruits, shake off the mud at the roots and put them in the backpack.

This is delicious whether it is used to stir-fry bacon or eaten directly as a pickle.

It is also a good dish that you must not miss in spring, but it is not like other wild vegetables. It can be eaten to fill your stomach. This one is a little spicy, but it is good to eat it for a fresh feeling in daily life.

"Lu Chuan, come and have a glass of water!" Xu Han shouted, then she found a piece of open space and sat down.

I deal with dirt every day, and my clothes have never been clean. In the beginning, I used to be more particular about it, using something to pad my seat when I sat, but now I don’t care about these things at all.

Anyway, I wear a different set of clothes every day, and in order to make it easier to work, I will tie my hair up high, wear a sun hat and gloves, and at least do the basic sun protection.

However, because I often go back and forth in the mountains, my skin has become more or less tanned and I have some calluses on my hands.

Despite this, Xu Han still takes care of her skin seriously when she has free time. She doesn't want her skin to become too rough. Everyone wants to be beautiful if they have the conditions.

When I'm not working, I put hand cream all over my hands and I also take care of my skin regularly. Except for being a little darker, my skin is pretty good.

When Lu Chuan heard Xu Han's voice, he also came over and said, "There are so many small roots of garlic in this area. We have been digging for such a long time to dig up this small area. I think we will be done once we finish digging these."

"Well! This patch of garlic is growing really well. Let's drink some water and eat some fruit first! Let's take a break before digging." Xu Han said while swinging his arms.

I haven't done such heavy work for a long time, and my arms are a little uncomfortable!

Seeing this, Lu Chuan rubbed Xu Han for a while and said, "If you are tired, take a rest for a while!"

"I'm fine. I just haven't swung a hoe for a long time. I'm a little uncomfortable. It's no big deal. I just need to rest for a while."

After a short rest, the two continued to dig garlic roots.

Although Xu Han was very tired, she was also super happy. How many people could refuse such happiness!

When digging wild vegetables, there is never too much, but it becomes a headache when washing them. Although Xu Han understands this situation very well, she still can't control herself and wants to continue digging.

At noon, Xu Han took out food from the space, and the two of them sat on the ground to eat.

After eating, they continued working until the sun set, then Xu Han and Lu Chuan started walking home.

When she got home, Xu Han first took out a handful of garlic cloves, planning to use them to fry eggs. She had been digging for a whole day, so she must try some tonight.

Small garlic roots are delicious, but they are too difficult to handle. You need to remove the dirt and old leaves on the surface first, just like peeling leeks, peel off the outer layer of leaves, and then cut off the roots to make them taste better.

After cleaning, take it to the backyard to clean it. Then chop the small roots of garlic into small pieces and put them in the pot.

Beat a few eggs in a bowl, stir well, and add a little salt to season.

Heat oil in a pan, pour the beaten egg liquid into the pan and spread it out. After it is shaped, turn it over and fry until both sides are golden brown before serving.

Today's dinner consists of big steamed buns, porridge, and pickled cucumbers. It is another simple meal.

"This fried egg with garlic chives is really fresh and delicious!" Lu Chuan said as he picked up the fried egg.

"It's pretty good. I'll have time tomorrow to prepare it and pickle some small roots of garlic."

"Yeah! This is just too troublesome to deal with. I can do it at night when I have nothing to do."

"I thought so too. I'm busy during the day and don't have time to deal with this. I can deal with it when I'm free at night."

Xu Han and Lu Chuan were both action-oriented people. After dinner, they started processing garlic cloves in the main room.

I kept doing this until I felt a little sleepy, then I cleaned the house, took a shower, and went to bed.

The next day, Lu Chuan went outside to make ridges for planting potatoes, while Xu Han stayed at home to deal with the small roots of garlic that had been cleaned up yesterday.

Now both of them have become greedy. They unanimously decided to pickle the garlic roots that they had just processed yesterday.

Xu Han first went to the backyard and cleaned the small roots of garlic. Since they had been peeled, they were easier to clean.

After washing them, I took them to the front yard. These small garlic roots were used for pickling, so the roots were not processed. However, the leaves were very long, so I cut off a section with a knife. I couldn't throw them away, so I kept them for stir-frying.

Put the processed garlic cloves into a large wooden basin, add some salt and marinate them first.

Then add chili powder and sugar, and a little light soy sauce.

After adding everything, put it in a wooden basin and stir evenly so that every small garlic root is coated with the sauce. Then put it into a jar and you can eat it directly when you want.

After mixing it, Xu Han couldn't wait to eat one. Hmm! It tasted good. It tasted just like this. It would taste better if it was marinated a little.

After Xu Han pickled the garlic cloves, she immediately carried out some potatoes from the cellar.

I started to process the potato seeds according to the previous method. This time I planted quite a lot. It was already dark when I finished everything.

Lu Chuan walked in from outside and said, "I see there are fish in the creek. I'll go put down some fish baskets tomorrow to see if I can catch any fish."

"Okay, some of last year's fish baskets are broken. You can take some time to fix them tonight!"

"Yeah! I'll get it done after dinner. What are we having for dinner today?"

"How about sweet potato porridge and leek steamed buns?" Xu Han asked.

"Okay, I'm not picky about food. I like everything my wife cooks." After saying that, he sat down and started to cook.

After the two finished their dinner, they divided the work clearly and went about their own business.

Xu Han was responsible for washing the pots and dishes, while Lu Chuan went to repair the fish basket.
