The two hung up their raincoats and umbrellas, changed into slippers, carried their baskets to the balcony, found a good angle, and snapped a dozen photos with their phones.

Shen Yanming sent the photos to several friend groups, saying he was showing everyone the ingredients he had found that day.

Bi Qiaoan also posted the photos on her Weibo, and within minutes they were reposted, liked, and the comments kept coming in.

Netizen Glass: Chacha Li, you actually went to find ingredients? Why are there shiitake mushrooms in there? Lying isn't a good habit!

Netizen Rabbit: Maybe besides the mushrooms, the rest were picked in the wild?

Netizen MiMiao: Where are you from, OP? I also went to find ingredients today, but I didn't have as many as you did.

After looking at everyone's comments, Bi Qiaoan thought for a moment and then posted a new Weibo post.

Cha Cha Li: These were all found in the wild today, and there's absolutely no fakery involved. I'll share photos of the environment with you all next time I go out to find ingredients!

Afterwards, Bi Qiaoan put down her phone, took the ingredients to the kitchen, and washed them.

Then, following the tutorial, I made dried mushrooms and lamb's quarters.

Normally, vegetables shouldn't be washed with water when making dried vegetables, but the ingredients picked today were already wet, and besides, there wouldn't be any water to wash them later, so Bi Qiaoan had no choice but to wash them with water in advance.

Moreover, during the rainy season when there is little sunshine, Bi Qiaoan can only use an oven to dry the vegetables.

Actually, frozen vegetables can be preserved for a long time, but the key issue is that Bi Qiaoan is unsure if there will be a power outage in the future, so it's safer to make them into dried vegetables.

Looking at the roses beside her, Bi Qiaoan thought for a moment and made rose jam according to the recipe. It is said that if sealed properly, it can be stored for six months, and if refrigerated, it may be stored for about a year.

While Bi Qiaoan was doing these things, Shen Yanming took a video with his phone. After Bi Qiaoan finished, Shen Yanming took out his laptop and did some simple editing of the video.

Finally, it was made into a three-minute video that only showed a pair of hands and a few subtitles.

After reviewing the video and confirming that it did not contain any content that revealed her identity, Bi Qiaoan uploaded it to Weibo.

For Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan, they have space, so there is no need for them to go outside to find ingredients.

The reason I do these things is that I hope to influence more people to take action through my own actions, which is my small contribution to the world.

As for more, let's not do it, they're scared!

In the evening, Bi Qiaoan steamed a lot of buns, with fillings such as shiitake mushroom and bok choy, spicy tofu, minced meat and eggplant, pork and scallion, beef and celery, and chives and egg.

As for how they manage to steam so many, well, they put a double-layered steamer on each of the two stoves, which can steam forty or fifty buns at a time.

Bi Qiaoan also cooked a pot of preserved egg and lean pork congee in a rice cooker. When it was almost cooked, she sprinkled some salt, some chopped green onions, and a few drops of sesame oil.

By the time the porridge was cooked, two batches of steamed buns had already been cooked.

Bi Qiaoan kept two buns of each kind, and had Shen Yanming put the rest into his spatial storage area.

After the two finished dinner, Bi Qiaoan made dozens more buns and steamed them all.

While waiting, Bi Qiaoan picked a pot of loquats from her spatial storage and, out of habit, even took it to the kitchen to rinse them.

Then I turned on the TV to watch tonight's "Foraging in the Wilderness." Today, the foraging team found wild eggs, lichen, mulberries, and shepherd's purse.

Bi Qiaoan ate while watching, and after finishing, she collected all the seeds, washed them clean, dried them, and then had Shen Yanming put them into his spatial storage.

At 11:30, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan once again took a basin and a stool and went downstairs to get soaked in the energy rain.

As soon as they got downstairs, they saw Zhao Yu; he had come to ambush them again.

The moment Zhao Yu saw Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan, his admiration for them surged like a mighty river, endless and boundless.

Why didn't he think of collecting rainwater? Why didn't he bring a stool?

Seeing Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan looking at him with a complicated expression, Zhao Yu awkwardly scratched his head, "I... I just thought that chatting together would make it less boring..."

Well, it seems there's no way to shake them off now.

So Shen Yanming went upstairs again, went home to get an empty plastic bucket, and also called Zhang Heping up with him.

The group, carrying various equipment, avoided people and went to the back of Qingning Mountain.

After Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan sat down near the mushroom area, Zhao Yu finally realized, "W-w-you guys already noticed?"

Bi Qiaoan frowned. "Didn't you just come here during the day?"

Zhao Yu choked, "Is that so?"

Zhang Heping rolled his eyes inwardly. He figured this idiot would never dream that these two were the ones who planted the seed. But he said aloud, "With so many of us, we need to find a spacious place. This is perfect!"

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan ignored Zhao Yu's clamor and closed their eyes to immerse themselves in the energy rain.

Zhang Heping frowned and followed the other two into the rain.

Zhao Yu, who hadn't prepared anything, sat down on a rock out of boredom when no one paid him any attention. He pouted and muttered something like, "How boring. I should have known better than to come looking for them."

Bored, Zhao Yu eventually fell asleep...

None of them noticed that an invisible energy was flowing into their bodies.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were used to it and were not surprised, but when the cold rain woke Zhang Heping and Zhao Yu, they could not hide their shock.

"Yanming, how... how did you know this..." Zhang Heping asked Shen Yanming excitedly.

Shen Yanming frowned. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"No, our bodies have changed quite a bit today!"

Shen Yanming feigned doubt, "Really? Maybe I was just lucky today!"

After saying that, Shen Yanming got up and collected the rainwater. Because there were many people today, he couldn't directly collect the energy rainwater into his space. He could only pour it all into a plastic bucket and put it back into his space when he got home.

Seeing Shen Yanming's response, Zhang Heping didn't ask any further questions.

Zhao Yu, however, couldn't suppress his curiosity and turned to ask Bi Qiaoan about it.

After listening to Zhao Yu's long-winded explanation, Bi Qiaoan tilted her head and asked, "Is there a difference? How come I didn't know?"

Zhao Yu choked, feeling a pang of sadness. "Okay, the expert is just different..."

After they finished packing, they went home.

For a period of time afterward, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan would go out to find ingredients every two days, and each time they would invite Zhao Yu and Zhang Heping along.

Zhang Heping went back to work at the hospital, but this time the hospital also arranged shifts. Zhang Heping could rest for one day every two days. Shen Yanming would wait for Zhang Heping's day off to go out and find ingredients.

During this period, the group had a strong ability to mobilize people, and at least the people in Qingyu Community took action, with many people joining the food-finding team one after another.

Qingning Mountain is very large, so Shen Yanming welcomed all of them.
