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
