In less than half an hour, a lot of good things were piled up in front of Han Luoxue.
A pound of millet, half a year's supply of soybeans, and five or six small sweet potatoes. Old Wu at the village entrance was the most generous; he even gave her a skinny old hen.
She showed everything to her father, who remained silent for a long time before sighing:
"Xue'er, we will remember this kindness. We will repay it if we have the opportunity in the future."
Han Luoxue nodded. The Han family is really shameless. They have been abusing Father for the past six months and kept the news a secret from the outside world. Those who used to have a good relationship with Father have no idea that they can't even afford to eat.
With oil and salt in hand, Han Luoxue thought for a moment, then stewed half a rabbit. When it was done, she added some matsutake mushrooms and finally garnished it with some water celery. Lifting the lid, the rich aroma of meat and the unique fragrance of matsutake mushrooms wafted out, and most importantly, it looked quite appealing.
Rabbit meat wasn't enough to fill her up, so she made another pot of thicker cornmeal porridge, and finally added some water celery. The yellow cornmeal porridge, combined with the green vegetable leaves, gave off a rich aroma of cornmeal that made people's mouths water.
She didn't waste the soaked vegetable leaves; she scalded them with boiling water, heated oil in a wok, and stir-fried them briefly until they released their aroma.
Han Luoxue was quite skilled in cooking in her previous life. As a seasoned foodie, she always had the urge to try it herself.
She even bought a lot of cookbooks, but the dishes she made back then just didn't taste very good. Now, probably because she used the water from her space, everything she makes tastes delicious.
Han Luoxue would not admit that it was because they were all too hungry.
The food was ready, and Han Luoxue invited everyone to go back to their rooms.
When they smelled the aroma, even Han Yuchen and Uncle Han couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Not to mention Han Luoyu and others who had been starving for several days.
It was almost completely devoured, leaving not a single piece. Han Yuchen was a little embarrassed:
"I still have some food at home, I'll bring it over later."
He had only intended to have a few bites, but the food smelled so good.
It tasted even better than the food prepared by the imperial chefs he had eaten before.
As for what Uncle Han used to make, he felt that it was just pig feed, as long as it was cooked.
"No need, no need. Yuchen, your aunt still has grain at home. It's not too late to borrow some from you after we've finished eating."
Yunniang now likes Han Yuchen more and more, and said happily.
Han Mingyuan looked at his wife, then at Han Yuchen, smiled, and didn't say anything more.
After finishing the meal, taking advantage of everyone's presence, Han Luoxue said worriedly:
"Father, Mother, I'm worried that the Han family is still not satisfied."
She knew that Old Lady Han was persistent in her pursuit of her, and that she could use her to exchange for grain with Butcher Liu.
Given the selfish and self-serving nature of the Han family, how could they possibly give up?
"Xue'er, you mean?"
"Uncle Ba, do you often go hunting? Do you have any hunting traps or anything? Could I borrow them? I want to try setting some in the yard. I don't need them for too long, just for two or three nights."
“There really is one in this house.”
Uncle Han readily agreed: "Yu Chen used to do a lot of these, but there haven't been many prey in the outer areas lately, so we've put the traps away."
"Put a few more by the entrance. That spot is a bit low, so if they really have that idea, they're most likely to jump in from there."
Han Yuchen recalled the yard he had inspected today and said.
However, he needs to be more vigilant these next few days; he can't let anyone bully this family of elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people.
With everything arranged outside, Han Luoxue felt relieved.
Many people have died in this house, so the family is temporarily living in one room.
Han Luoxue had already put everything into her spatial storage. Her younger sister went to the kitchen and saw that it was completely empty, but she didn't say anything.
Han Luoxue was quite satisfied with this.
She entered the space again and placed the sweet potato by the pool. With the spiritual spring there, it would probably sprout quickly.
As for millet, she tried planting it on the edge of the black soil, and surprisingly it worked.
I just don't know what she looks like.
Farming in this space is different from outside; there's no need to consider the spacing between plants. She wanted to plant a whole pound of millet, but unfortunately, she couldn't.
Seeing that there was still more than half a pound of millet left, she made it all into millet flour!
As for mushrooms and the like, they were all cleaned up and placed aside so that they could be taken whenever one wanted to eat them.
It's a pity there are no spores, otherwise mushrooms could be cultivated.
After doing all that, Han Luoxue's head started spinning again. She was used to getting dizzy from overworking her brain, so she wasn't worried and closed her eyes to sleep.
I don't know if it was because I was too tired or because I used too much energy, but I slept until dawn.
Han Luoxue first checked the space. Good heavens, the millet had sprouted and grown several leaves; the ripening period was only five days!
This... speed is terrifying.
And where she picked water celery yesterday, new leaves have sprouted, and the sweet potato leaves are growing even faster, already as tall as a hand.
This space is a bit abnormal. Han Luoxue thought of the cornmeal stored in the space. According to the ripening period of crops, it seemed that she didn't need to save it at all.
Oh, and there's a goose too. I'll prepare it and eat it later.
"Sister, you guessed right. Something really happened to our family last night."
As soon as Han Luoxue opened her eyes, her little sister blinked and said with a look of admiration.
"Huh? What happened? I didn't hear a sound."
“You’re sleeping too soundly. Father and Mother said to let you sleep a little longer. The person has already been taken to the village head’s place. We’ll go there together in a bit.”
"It was Han Yuchen who caught them."
Han Yuchen? It's him again? But is she sleeping so soundly? She didn't hear anything at all.
