For several days in a row, the two of them picked chestnuts and finally finished picking all the chestnuts in the nearby deep mountains.
That afternoon, the two went home relatively early. Looking at the gloomy sky, it seemed like it was going to rain, so they decided to head home early, otherwise they would get soaked.
When they arrived home, thunder had already started, and it looked like it was about to rain. The two quickly moved all the chestnuts from the yard into the storage room.
When there wasn't enough room left, they piled things up in the main room, and finally managed to bring everything inside before the heavy rain started.
I had just sat down to rest for a while when a torrential downpour began outside.
Thankfully, Lu Chuan noticed the weather was getting bad and quickly took Xu Han back. Otherwise, not only would the two of them get soaked in the rain, but all the chestnuts in the yard would also suffer.
After resting for a while, the two moved a stool and started peeling chestnuts. They had been harvesting chestnuts every day for the past few days and hadn't had time to process them.
I was too tired when I got back in the evening, so I didn't do anything, which resulted in all the chestnuts I picked accumulating here. There are some more in my storage space too!
It looks like a lot, but actually there's not much left after peeling.
The peeled chestnuts were placed in bamboo baskets, and once full, they were put into burlap sacks and stored in the space.
There's no need to dry them anymore; the space can keep them fresh and they won't spoil. Fresh ones taste better.
The peeled chestnut shells are piled up to the side. After the rain stops, they are taken to the open space outside the yard to dry in the sun. They can also be used as firewood!
The two peeled chestnuts while chatting casually.
Before she knew it, it was time for dinner. It had been a long time since she had cooked, so Xu Han planned to use the chicken soup from her space to make a chicken soup and vegetable noodle dish.
First, knead the dough and roll it out into noodles. Place the kneaded dough on the work surface and roll it out into a thin sheet with a large rolling pin.
Then stack them together, cut them into small pieces with a knife, sprinkle some flour to prevent them from sticking together, and set them aside for later use.
Pour the chicken broth into a pot, scoop out some chicken pieces, bring it to a boil over high heat, and then add the noodles.
When the soup is almost done, add the bok choy to blanch it. Before serving, add a little sesame oil, and a bowl of fragrant chicken soup noodles is ready.
It was raining outside, and the late autumn rain in the mountains was still a bit damp and chilly. At this moment, eating a bowl of hot noodles was pure bliss.
After the two finished their hearty meal, they still had some time, so they continued peeling chestnuts.
By the time they went to bed, all the chestnuts in the main room had been peeled. Xu Han even took out some of the chestnuts that had been dried and stored in her spatial storage. The two of them didn't go to sleep until 10 o'clock.
Judging from the current situation, the rain probably won't stop anytime soon, and I don't know if it will rain again tomorrow.
The next day, when Xu Han got up, Lu Chuan had already gotten up, dressed and came to the yard. He saw that the weather was still gloomy and it was likely to rain again.
Not seeing Lu Chuan anywhere, I turned around and went to the backyard, where I indeed saw Lu Chuan picking vegetables from the garden.
I haven't harvested any vegetables in the last two days. Some of them are already ripe, and it rained all night yesterday. If these vegetables aren't harvested in time, they will easily rot.
Seeing this, Xu Han immediately went back into the house to change into her dirty clothes from yesterday and began to pick vegetables in the field.
The vegetables we picked were covered in water droplets, so we put them on the covered walkway to dry them before putting them back into our space.
The two had just finished picking all the vegetables and sat down to have breakfast when it started to drizzle outside again.
There was no way to go out, so after breakfast, the two went to the barn to continue peeling chestnuts, and they did so all day long.
By evening, Xu Han's back and waist were aching from sitting all day. Although she got up and moved around for a while, she was still quite tired after sitting all day.
He called to Lu Chuan to stop peeling the shells, and the two of them went to the kitchen together to start making dinner.
Today, Xu Han plans to make a tomato dumpling soup.
Take out a ladle of flour, add water to make a thick batter, and set it aside.
Heat oil in a wok, add the chopped tomatoes and stir-fry until the tomatoes release their juices. Add water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Then, use a strainer to pour the prepared paste into the pot, where it will form small lumps. Bring it to a boil over high heat.
Crack a dozen or so eggs into a bowl, whisk them, and pour them into a pot to make egg flowers. Then add the pre-washed greens to the pot, along with salt and chicken bouillon for seasoning.
Add a few drops of sesame oil before taking it off the heat, and the aroma will instantly fill the air.
After Lu Chuan and Xu Han each filled a bowl, they filled another small basin with water and black flour, cooked it, and fed it to the dogs in the house.
Not only did Lu Chuan and Xu Han enjoy their meal, but the dogs in the family also had a great time.
This tomato juice tastes amazing, it's sweet and sour and tastes especially delicious.
The two of them eventually finished the entire small bowl that had been served.
"Since everyone likes it so much, let's make it again next time!" Lu Chuan suggested.
"Sure! It's very simple and doesn't take much time! If you like it, I'll make it a few more times."
After dinner, the two continued peeling chestnuts until they had finished peeling all the chestnuts in the storeroom. Now there were only a few left in the storage space.
Let's peel them tomorrow when we have time! The two of them washed up and went to rest.
The next morning, after they got up, it had stopped raining outside. After breakfast, the two of them continued peeling chestnuts.
It's still very wet outside, and it's impossible to walk around. I can't go out this morning either.
They could only wait until the afternoon to see if the grass was dry. If so, the two of them would go and pick termite mushrooms.
After peeling chestnuts all morning and finishing lunch, Lu Chuan went to the door to check. After being exposed to the sun all morning, the chestnuts were no longer wet.
The two decided not to take a lunch break and set off to pick termite mushrooms with their baskets on their backs.
They searched using the same method as before, but this time Xu Han and the others brought the puppies with them.
I don't expect them to help me find them. I just want to take them out for some fresh air. I'd be happy if they don't make things worse.
The two had just left the house when they found another termite mushroom at the same spot where they had found it before. Xu Han dug it out and let Hei Feng and Hei Dian smell it, signaling them to start looking for more.
The puppies came over to sniff it too, and as if joining in the fun, they ran out as well.
Soon after, they heard Black Wind's voice and Lu Chuan followed.
The black dot here also started to shout, and quickly got to work.
Surprisingly, Maodou also made a sound after a while and stood still waiting. Xu Han walked over curiously and sure enough, she saw the termite mushroom.
Other dogs followed suit and gradually found the termite mushroom as well.
This was truly an unexpected bonus; I never imagined the puppies could now help with the chores. With their addition, Lu Chuan and Xu Han were simply overwhelmed with work.
