Chapter 356 Le Zhengxiao and Xie Jingrong came hunting

There were about 60 kilograms of mushrooms. Qiao Xuan sorted them and processed them simply.

Pick out the ones that are not in good condition and cook them at night, and spread the others out in a dustpan to dry. During the day, the sun is bright and they can be stored after a few days of drying.

It just so happens that the dried mushrooms in the spring have been almost eaten up, and now we have picked a lot more. They will be great for making soup or hot pot in winter.

We plan to eat two pheasants and two grouse tonight. The remaining pheasants, mountain otters and grouse are all in Qiao Xuan's garden.

Pheasants generally don't grow very big, so a few are just enough for a family of so many people.

Two grouse were stewed with yam, and the breast meat of one pheasant was sliced, marinated and fried with fresh mushrooms.

The rest was cut into even pieces and braised with only ginger, scallions and garlic.

Add a plate of stir-fried winter melon, a bowl of stir-fried green beans, and a bowl of wolfberry sprout soup, and you're all set.

If before, Shao Xiaoqi had hunted so many prey and sent one each to the second and third rooms, Fang would not have minded.

But Ma and Uncle Shao came to make trouble a few days ago and said such ridiculous things. Although Niu didn't say anything, the gloating look on her face and the smile of wanting to watch the fun really made Fang sick.

How could Fang give them anything again?

Before Uncle Shao could even open his mouth, Fang interrupted him and he was speechless.

As for whether he was happy or not, the whole family didn't care much, or rather, they had already gotten used to it.

Anyway, he can't influence others.

After three days of going into the mountains, we had collected enough wild grapes. If we wanted to eat them later, we could just bring back a small amount. But it was not really necessary, because Qiao Xuan's garden had them, and the fruits were especially abundant, and the bunches were larger than those of authentic wild grapes.

We also picked a lot of mushrooms. We ate a small amount fresh and dried most of them.

We also found a small jujube forest with about seven or eight jujube trees. The trees were quite thick, with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters.

The red dates are ripe, crisp and sweet.

So everyone ran twice and picked all the red and ripe ones.

Carry them home to dry, and make them into dried dates. You can use them to make soup, tea, porridge, or eat them as snacks. You can also use them to make date cakes or date paste fillings.

In addition to these, there are many wild fruits in the mountains whose names I cannot tell. They are also in strange shapes, big and small, red and purple.

Qiao Xuan's wood-related ability can detect whether the fruit is poisonous or not, but in fact she is not needed at all. The children in the mountains know very well which wild fruits are edible and which are not.

Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao even specially picked a lot of delicious food and happily gave it to Qiao Xuan as if they were presenting treasures.

After resting at home for two days, when I was preparing to go into the mountains again to try my luck in finding ficus carica fruit, I unexpectedly saw Le Zhengxiao and Xie Jingrong coming together.

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan then remembered this - they had agreed to come hunting.

Le Zhengxiao and Xie Jingrong were afraid of being entangled by County Magistrate Qiao, so they learned their lesson this time and disguised themselves. The carriage they rode was also ordinary without any markings to indicate their identity.

The disguise was worth it.

It was dusk when they arrived in Heshan County, so they stayed in an inn in the city for one night and went to Shaoding Village early the next morning.

What a coincidence, when they entered the village, their carriage ran into Widow Sun again.
