Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 260: Growing Vegetables in a Big Wooden Box

It drizzled on and off for a few days. It was so boring not being able to go out. Mu'er was tired of staying in the house.

Lu Chuan could only hold him and stroll around the door when the rain was not too heavy, but he could only watch and not play, which was very boring.

The bad thing about rainy days is that you can’t go out to play at all. You’ll go crazy staying at home all day.

Fortunately, this drizzle did not last too long. It lasted for about ten days and then stopped.

Because it had been raining and the temperature hadn't dropped too low, all the snow outside had melted away, but the road was still very slippery.

As soon as the rain stopped, Mu'er ran quickly to the yard wearing the rabbit leather shoes made for him by Xu Han.

"Hahahaha, after holding back for so many days, Mu'er can finally go out and play." The Taoist priest said with a smile as he looked at Mu'er in the yard.

"Yeah, let alone Mu'er, even the rest of us are tired of it." Xu Han continued.

"Yes, I have been feeling uncomfortable these past few days."

"When the weather is good and the road is passable, let's go for a walk in the mountains. When the temperature rises, wild vegetables should come out." Xu Han suggested.

"We must go shopping for sure." Lu Chuan said.

In the blink of an eye, it is March and the temperature is getting higher and higher. It is time to plant some vegetables.

Because the soil was very wet some time ago, Xu Han did not prepare the soil in advance, which delayed her from planting vegetables.

Taking advantage of the good weather today, Lu Chuan shoveled a lot of soil from the vegetable garden in the backyard and put it into a large wooden box.

Then Xu Han took out some vegetable seeds from the space and planted them while the soil was still moist.

The large wooden box where the vegetables were grown was covered with a layer of thatch to prevent the moisture from evaporating.

At this temperature, seedlings will emerge in about three days. Green vegetables are particularly easy to grow and sprout quickly.

"There are still a lot of leek roots and shallot roots in the space. Do you want to plant them too?" Xu Han asked Lu Chuan.

"I don't have any big wooden boxes anymore, so I'll make a few of this size. It doesn't rain every day and the sun is often out. I guess the rain will be a little heavier in the summer. We'll talk about it then. If we plant some now, we can eat them for two months." Lu Chuan said.

"Okay, then let's make a few more. I feel like these six are a little too few." Xu Han urgently needs to plant some things to kill time.

It was either raining or the roads were wet. Xu Han hadn't been out of the yard for a long time. There was nothing to do at home, and if she didn't grow something, she would feel a little worried and her life would become even more boring.

Ever since the vegetables were planted in the big wooden box, Xu Han has had something to do every day. When she has nothing to do, she always likes to squat next to the big wooden box to see if the newly planted vegetables have come out, whether they need to be watered, whether there are any cabbage worms, and so on.

They stared at the box all day long. Not only Xu Han, but others did the same. Even the little Mu'er imitated the adults and circled around the box every day.

Everyone regarded the vegetables in the big wooden boxes as hope for a new life, and they all hoped that the vegetables would grow and the natural disaster would pass quickly.

Of course, this is all later. Xu Han and his team spent two days planting a row of large wooden boxes.

In order to prevent the dogs from destroying these things, there is someone watching in the yard every day. When no one is watching, the dogs are locked in the backyard and not allowed to come out.

I’m afraid they will eat up all the vegetables that I’ve grown with so much effort.

After dinner that night, several people sat together to discuss going into the mountains tomorrow.

"We haven't been out recently, and we don't know what the situation is outside. Tomorrow, Lu Chuan and I will go out to check the situation in the mountain, and try to come back tomorrow night." said the Taoist priest.

"Yes, I won't take you this time. After all, we don't know the situation in the mountains now. It will be troublesome if there is danger." Lu Chuan also spoke.

"Okay, for safety's sake, Grandpa Zhao, Mu'er and I will stay home tomorrow and not go out. We'll just close the door and wait for you to come back like before." Xu Han agreed.

Although Xu Han was particularly looking forward to going into the mountains, she also knew that the current situation was special. In addition, she didn't know whether there would be other wild animals coming after the snowstorm, so it would be better for her to stay at home for the time being.

And now that Mu'er is here, Xu Han doesn't want to take risks anymore. Although she really wants to go, she still knows what is more important.

"When you go to the mountain tomorrow, pay attention to see if there are any wild vegetables or something. The trees should be sprouting at this time of year. See what the situation is like in the mountain now. Don't just focus on the prey." Grandpa Zhao warned.

"You don't have to tell me that. We are not stupid."

"You don't even appreciate my kind reminder. With your careless personality, you might not even remember it." Grandpa Zhao retorted.

"Okay, okay, thank you."

Seeing this, Xu Han quickly interrupted and said, "What do you want to eat? I didn't have time to prepare dry food for you today. I was thinking that we could go together and just eat the food in the space.

Now you don't have anything to bring, I'll prepare something for you now so you don't have time to cook tomorrow morning."

"Don't do it. We two rough guys can eat anything. There are buns and beef jerky in the space. Just take some of these." Lu Chuan said.

"Yes, that's good enough. Let's not do it anymore." The Taoist priest also responded.

"Okay then, I'll prepare it for you first and then prepare some hot water. Do you want fruit tea or flower tea?" Xu Han asked again.

"Scented tea or plain water will do."

After hearing the answer, Xu Han got up to prepare things, including some salt, chili powder and other things. If she was lucky enough to encounter prey, she could roast some meat.

Put all the prepared things in the space first, and ask Xu Han for them when Lu Chuan leaves tomorrow, so that they won’t get cold if you take them out too early.

“Tomorrow when you go into the mountains, be careful and take the dogs with you. Just leave Heidian at home.

It's a good opportunity to let the dogs go out for some fresh air. They've been cooped up at home for so long that they're already sick. It also helps to prevent them from being too energetic and damaging the newly planted vegetables at home every day." Xu Han said as she prepared things.

"Okay, then you must be more careful at home. Don't open the door until we come back, and don't cook breakfast and lunch. Just eat what's in the space." Lu Chuan said.

"Okay, we got it. Don't worry." Grandpa Zhao said.
