“No wonder you guys came back so early today. In that case, don’t go this afternoon. It gets dark early anyway, and you won’t be able to hunt much if you go up the mountain this afternoon.”
“Alright, in a little while the Taoist priest and I will go and haul the manure from outside the yard to the composting area, and we’ll make this batch of manure into compost.”
Xu Han thought for a moment and agreed, "I'll go with you guys in a bit. There's nothing much to do at home, and we can get things done faster with more people."
The Taoist priest interjected, "You don't need to go. You stay home and take care of the children. It's windy in the valley. If you go, Ze'er will definitely come with you. If he catches a chill, he'll get sick again."
Xu Han thought about it and agreed, so she stopped insisting.
In the afternoon, everyone got busy again. While Ze'er was taking a nap, Xu Han couldn't be idle either. Since the weather had been nice these past two days, Xu Han cut some sweet potato slices and hung them to dry in the yard.
Dried sweet potato slices are the best for making porridge; they're sweet, sandy, and sticky.
The elderly and children in the family all love to eat it. The ones that were dried before the disaster have long been eaten up. Xu Han has been busy lately, so she dried fewer of them recently, and now they are almost all gone.
As soon as she had a moment of free time, Xu Han took a look around and discovered that she had actually missed such a big task.
We need to sunbathe more today, otherwise we'll finish eating it in no time, and it'll be a hassle to keep sunbathing it.
After Ze'er woke up, Xu Han watched the child while slicing sweet potato chips.
This time, Xu Han not only dried sweet potato slices, but also specially cut some sweet potato cubes to dry.
Sun-drying sweet potato cubes is much more troublesome than sun-drying sweet potato chips. First, you have to peel the sweet potatoes and then cut them into one-centimeter cubes. You can't cut them too big, otherwise they won't dry easily and won't cook properly when you eat them.
Therefore, it takes a lot of time to control the size when cutting, and the pieces are also relatively small.
In the time it takes to cut one sweet potato cube, you can cut several dried sweet potatoes, which is quite troublesome to make. Fortunately, Xu Han doesn't plan to make too many.
