Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 127 Wild Honey

Xu Han took the food she had just prepared and went to the river to find Lu Chuan.

"How about trying the new food I made today? There is also chili oil here. If you want to try it, you can add it to the spicy soup and tofu pudding. You can also add vinegar."

Lu Chuan added some chili vinegar as Xu Han said. He took a sip and his eyes lit up instantly.

"How is it? It tastes good, right?" Xu Han said proudly.

"It's delicious, delicious! It's really good, please eat it quickly." After saying that, he picked up another bean curd cake!

Xu Han also took a piece of bean curd cake and started eating. The combination of these two things is really good. It would be better if eaten in the morning or evening. It would be a bit weird to eat this at noon.

After lunch, there was nothing important to do at home, so Xu Han followed Lu Chuan to process the beef.

In the evening, they went home together. As soon as they got home, Xu Han couldn't wait to open the tofu and take a look.

I poked it and found it was just the right softness and hardness. It seems that the tofu I made today was very successful!

"Let's make tofu tonight!" Xu Han asked Lu Chuan for his opinion.

"Sure! I haven't eaten tofu in a long time."

So Xu Han cut a large piece of tofu and took it to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

Store the remaining tofu in the space and take it out and eat it directly when you want to eat it.

Let’s make egg tofu first.

Cut the tofu into 1 cm thick squares. Don't cut them too big, or they won't be tasty.

Heat oil in a pan, pour the tofu into the pan and fry until both sides are golden brown, then pour in the beaten egg liquid and turn it over after it is set.

Take out a small bowl and put the seasoning in it, stir evenly and pour into the pot. Sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving. It looks beautiful and tastes good.

Xu Han also made a dish of Mapo tofu and a bowl of tofu and cabbage soup with rice. It was another hearty meal.

After dinner, the two continued to peel and chop potatoes. During the day tomorrow, Xu Han would grind the potatoes into pulp and wash out the potato starch.

In this way, the two of them were busy for five days in a row. Lu Chuan had processed all the beef and mutton, leaving only some heads and hooves that had not been peeled.

Xu Han was also busy during these few days, making a lot of potato starch and sweet potato starch.

The work of making starch has come to an end, and the two of them will be busy with other things next.

Early in the morning that day, Lu Chuan took his tools and took Xu Han and the dogs into the mountains.

We haven't gone hunting for a while, and the dogs were bored staying at home. As soon as we entered the mountains, they ran away.

Lu Chuan didn't care about them as long as they didn't run too far. The main purpose of going into the mountains today was not to hunt, but to collect wild honey.

Wild honey is a good thing, and this season is a good time to pick wild honey.

After a year of hard work, the industrious little bees have saved up a lot of honey, and this honey has crystallized, becoming sweet and delicious.

Lu Chuan took Xu Han to a place near their home where they used to collect honey in previous years. When they arrived near the beehive, they put on their equipment and covered themselves tightly to prevent being stung by bees.

When collecting honey, if you encounter a lot of bees, you can use smoke to drive them away. If there are not many bees, you can pick the honey directly.

When picking, as long as you don't hurt the bees, they will not sting you actively under normal circumstances.

Lu Chuan used a wooden knife to cut off about two-thirds of the beehive, leaving the rest for the little bees to eat, otherwise they would not build nests here in the future.

Xu Han was holding a bucket and collecting honey at the back. She stood far away and didn't dare to get close to the hive, as she was always afraid that the little bees would suddenly fly over and sting her.

Lu Chuan collects honey in the mountains every year and has become very skilled at it. Naturally, he doesn't feel afraid. He used to collect honey by himself in previous years.

Knowing that Xu Han was afraid and asked her to wait farther away, Xu Han still refused and insisted on seeing how honey was collected. She was really naive and playful.

After collecting the honey here, the two went to the next place. There were many beehives in the mountains, and Lu Chuan often collected honey, so he knew their approximate locations, but some of them had moved to new locations, and some were new discoveries.

Pay more attention during your daily hunting, and you will find quite a few beehives.

The two of them did not plan to go home today. After collecting honey nearby, they walked a little deeper into the mountains. Wild honey is not a problem, so of course they have to collect more. Drinking it with water every day is good for the body.

"Lu Chuan, look quickly, is that a beehive up there? It's so big!" Xu Han suddenly shouted, pointing at a place.

Lu Chuan quickly looked in the direction of Xu Han's finger and said, "It is indeed a very large beehive. I have never found one before. This beehive can produce two or three buckets of honey!"

"But this location is not easy to mine! Look, there is no place to stand."

The place Xu Han discovered was under a rock wall, and there was no way to pick the fruits.

"It's okay. Let's go up there. I have a rope. Tie it to the tree and I'll go down along the rope."

"Is it possible? I can't stop you!" Xu Han said quickly.

"You don't need to pull me up. I can climb up by myself."

"Are you sure? Or forget it! We're looking for it, there are still a lot! This is too dangerous."

"Don't worry! I have no problem with this height."

Lu Chuan smiled helplessly. His wife was quite timid. This height was nothing to her. If she was not sure, she would not try it. There was no need to risk her life for a little honey.

However, seeing Xu Han's worried look, he still felt very happy in his heart, because his wife was worried about him!

The two of them came to the top of the cliff together. Lu Chuan tied the rope, took the wooden barrel and went down.

Xu Han was anxious up there, and only felt relieved when Lu Chuan came up with a wooden bucket.

This beehive was really big, and Lu Chuan cut three full wooden barrels.

After cutting this, the two men continued to move forward and found a cave to rest at night.

The next day, they continued to look for beehives. They waited until the afternoon before they started walking home. During this time, Xu Han also cut some wolfberry branches and chrysanthemum branches. They would go home and dry them for later consumption.

When they got home, they had dinner and started processing the honey.

Put the honey in a wooden barrel, then crush it with a knife. Filter the crushed honey through a strainer to filter out the honeycomb.

After filtering twice, the honeycomb is considered clean, and then the honey can be stored in a jar.

The honey in the wooden barrel cannot be wasted. Boil some water, let it cool down a little, and pour it into the wooden barrel to drink.

It’s already very late today, so there’s no way to continue. I’ll have to wait until tomorrow.

The two of them cleaned the floor, washed their hands and faces, and went to rest. They had a good night's sleep...
