Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 318 Inventory Check

Xu Han has been busy with composting and planting flowers these two days, and has not had time to clean the Taoist priest's room. She must clean it tomorrow.

Otherwise, I would definitely be scolded by the Taoist priest. I had already written back in advance, but I still hadn't cleaned his room and made his bedding. Anyone would be disappointed and angry.

"Everyone is tired today, so let's go to bed early and have a good sleep tonight." Grandpa Zhao said.

"Okay, go back first, we'll go to bed soon."

"Okay, don't stay up too late, go to bed early, you must be exhausted these past few days. Get some energy and prepare for the spring ploughing."

"Spring plowing may be even more tiring than this, so let's take a break now." Lu Chuan replied.

After Grandpa Zhao left, Xu Han went to give the child a bath, while Lu Chuan quickly cleaned up the mess in the house.

After the children fell asleep, Lu Chuan and Xu Han were the only ones left in the room.

Xu Han scanned the things in the space with his mind and put them in order.

Then he told Lu Chuan about the situation in the space, and the two of them took inventory together.

This way you will know how much rice seeds you should grow in two days, and how much soybeans and corn you need to plant later.

“Originally, the food we bought was enough to last for seven years, but because there were so many people in the family, we didn’t control when we ate, so now the food left is only enough to last for two more years.

There is still a lot of rice and wheat left, but the black flour and the like are gone quickly.

The remaining black flour from the flour I ground a while ago is almost gone, and I need to grind some more in a couple of days, otherwise the dogs will have nothing to eat.”

"Are there still a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes left? You can give these to the dogs."

“It’s not that much. Once the potatoes are planted, they can be harvested in a short time.

Let's plant more sweet potatoes this year. Although eating too many sweet potatoes is not good, we can't say that we shouldn't let them eat enough.

These dogs are such big eaters, they are like bottomless pits."

"It's okay. We can grow crops starting this year. If we plant more, we will definitely have enough to eat." Lu Chuan comforted.

In fact, the other people in the family also eat a lot. The amount of food that Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest eat in one meal is enough for Xu Han and Grandpa Zhao to eat in a whole day.

Grandpa Zhao eats a little less, but if an adult man wants to be full, he needs at least two bowls of rice.

No one in the family tried to save food. They ate to their heart's content, so the amount of food they used was of course higher than expected.

We ate more than one year's worth of food in the previous four years, and that doesn't even include the miscellaneous grains grown at home.

When I bought the food, I bought enough for seven years. Later, I was afraid that it would not be enough, so I bought some more, thinking that if I added some sweet potatoes at home, there should be enough to eat.

I didn't expect that I ended up overeating. Judging from the situation, if I continue to eat like this, I can only eat for about two years.

But Xu Han was not worried. She had already started making compost and would farm well later. It was not clear how much food she could harvest, but at least it would be enough to eat.

"Rice is the most left in the space right now, because we eat a little less rice. We can eat more rice later, and everyone likes to eat it."

"Yes, you can make more. It's mainly because making noodles is easier. If you eat rice, you need to cook it, which is a bit troublesome.

Everyone likes to eat rice with stir-fried vegetables. When conditions permit and there are enough vegetables to eat, let’s eat more rice.”

“Okay, the vegetable fields outside will be ready for harvest soon, so we can have a steady supply of vegetables.

There may not be many fruits, but everyone likes to eat fruits, so they eat them faster.”

"I see that some of the fruit trees in the orchard have already blossomed. Although we can't harvest many this year, we can still pick some. We should be able to eat them."

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and asked again, "Is there enough meat? If not, I will go to the mountains later."

"There's enough meat. We stockpiled a lot of meat. There's no need to go. Let's wait until winter to see what's left. If there's not enough, we can hunt some in winter and store it for next spring."

"Well, we'll plant more food this year depending on the situation. As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you'll be at peace. We'll plant as much as we can. If there's not enough land, we can open up some wasteland nearby to plant food."

“You can have this. If a war breaks out, food will be hard to buy, but you may not be unable to buy it even if you have money.

Yuanqing Country has been hit by natural disasters and man-made disasters in recent years, and the biggest shortage is definitely food. Instead of relying on buying food, why don't we grow more now?

But we can't plant too much, our family is limited and we won't be able to handle it if we plant too much." Xu Han agreed.

"Just try your best to plant them. If you plant them at different times, the time when they mature will be different. You can still get some harvest."

"Okay, now I have figured it out. We don't have to save money on food anymore. We can just keep everything the same. We have to make sure everyone is well fed.

I just don’t believe it. Isn’t what we have grown in the past three years enough for us to eat?”

Lu Chuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw his wife's expression. He said to Xu Han cheerfully, "There will definitely be enough to eat, so don't worry and cook."

"It's getting late. Let's go to bed early. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Xu Han said and lay down to sleep. Seeing this, Lu Chuan quickly blew out the light and also lay down to sleep.

The next morning, Xu Han got up early. Things were different now than before. Before, there was no work to do, so she could sleep in.

Now there are a lot of tasks waiting to be dealt with every day. Even though Xu Han is very worried, she can't sleep.

After getting up, I first cooked breakfast, added firewood to the stove, and then went to the backyard to feed the chickens, ducks and geese.

There are so many mouths waiting to be fed. Generally, after getting up, people in the house will immediately go to the backyard to feed the livestock.

If you feed them a little late, they will chirp non-stop and be very noisy.

After coming out of the backyard, breakfast was ready. Xu Han first served Lu Chuan and Grandpa Zhao's breakfast and let it air dry to prevent it from being too hot to eat later.

He arrived at the gate of the yard and shouted to the two of them, "It's time to eat." After that, without waiting for their response, he went back to the main room.

After waking Mu'er up and helping him wash up, the two went to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Lu Chuan and Grandpa Zhao continued to work in the wasteland outside. They first watered the vegetables, and then went to the orchard to water the fruit trees.

The main task today is watering. After watering, if you can tidy up the land, do it. If you don’t have time, forget it and continue tomorrow.
