Yes, close to 40 litres, which is correct, sounds like a lot for 3 days!
One other definition of a bushel would be a container that is large enough
to contain a bushel. If the writer meant the container, it is possible
that it was not full.
Since the writer didn`t specifiy, who knows? Maybe they really liked peas!
:D
