As Qin Ye helped with the picking, he wondered to himself, "Isn't my wife's eye too sharp?"

Even a veteran who has spent years wading through the mountains doesn't have her sharp eyes; she can find good things just by walking a few steps.

Could she really be a young lady from the city who has never seen these mountain products before, so everything seems new and exciting to her, and she looks at them with extra care?

He shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore since he couldn't figure it out; after all, having food was a good thing.

Continuing forward, Qin Ye suddenly made a shushing gesture, squatted down, and pointed to several clear hoof prints on the ground.

"The goat's footprints look fresh, so they shouldn't have gone far." He lowered his voice, his eyes sharpening.

Su Tang also went over to take a closer look, silently estimating the size of the goat in her mind. Hmm, enough for them to eat for two meals.

"I'll go track you down. Stay in this area, but don't go too far. Be careful."

Qin Ye gave a word of advice, then, like a nimble cheetah, silently disappeared into the dense forest.

Su Tang nodded obediently, watching his figure disappear behind the bushes.

She can hunt too, but let's leave that opportunity to Commander Qin.

She strolled leisurely to a stream not far away.

The stream is crystal clear, and you can clearly see the colorful pebbles on the bottom and the occasional small fish swimming leisurely by.

Su Tang took out a simple fishing rod that she had prepared beforehand from her seemingly ordinary little backpack—actually just a thin bamboo pole that had been whittled smooth, with a special fishing line and a sharp fishhook that she had exchanged from her spatial storage tied to it.

She then took out a small paper packet wrapped in oil paper, scooped out a tiny bit of powdered bait, and carefully hooked it onto the fishing hook.

This bait is quite special; it's powder made from dried earthworms that she soaked in spiritual spring water from her space.

A tiny bit of the special grass scraps from the space were added, making it an irresistible delicacy for the fish in the water.

Su Tang gently cast the fishing hook into the water, then sat comfortably on a smooth, large rock by the stream.

With his legs crossed, he hummed an off-key, popular tune from later generations, looking as leisurely as Jiang Taigong fishing, waiting for those willing to take the bait.

Qin Ye had to put in a lot of effort to catch the very wary wild goat.

He wandered around in the woods, relying on his rich experience and amazing endurance, and finally managed to lure the wild goat towards a simple tripwire trap he had set beforehand.

After a battle of wits and courage, they finally managed to snare one of the goat's hind legs with a tripwire.

When he returned to the stream, carrying the half-grown goat that was still bleating and struggling, covered in sweat, he saw Su Tang sitting there leisurely, with a bundle simply wrapped in a few large leaves at her feet. It looked bulging and quite heavy.

"What are you doing?" Qin Ye approached and asked curiously.

As soon as Su Tang saw him return, her face lit up with a smile, and she proudly opened the leaf-wrapped package:

"Ta-da! Qin Ye, look at my haul!"

Qin Ye peeked out and immediately exclaimed "Whoa!" His eyes widened in surprise.

Inside the leaf-covered container lay several palm-sized cold-water fish, each one fresh and plump, still swaying its tail and flicking out strings of glistening water droplets.

"You...you caught it?" Qin Ye's jaw almost dropped to the ground in shock.

He knew that the fish in this mountain stream were notoriously cunning and difficult to catch, slippery as they were. He had tried before, and after working for most of the day, he might not even be able to catch a fish the size of a little finger.

How long has Su Tang been doing this? She's caught so many! And every single one of them is so fat!

"Yes!" Su Tang proudly raised her chin, her little expression brimming with pride. "My grandma taught me this exclusive recipe, isn't it amazing? Aren't you envious?"

Looking at her smug expression, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, and then at the lively fish, Qin Ye's doubts grew like a snowball.
