The next secret base was in a relatively remote place with several chestnut trees. Thinking of sugar-fried chestnuts, roasted chestnuts, and chestnut stewed chicken, Su Qingxue became a little impatient.

Prepare more, not only for yourself, but also for the children. They are not like me here where it is easy to eat all kinds of mountain products. Even if I don’t have them, I can go to the village to exchange them for some. But if they want to eat, they may have nowhere to buy them. I must make more for them so that they can eat their fill.

Su Qingxue took out an umbrella from the space, held it open, and kicked the tree hard. She could feel a lot of chestnuts falling onto the umbrella. She stopped only when she could no longer hear any sound.

Su Qingxue looked at the chestnuts surrounding her and put them all into the space. She wondered about the layer of thorns on the outside and decided to peel them out when she got back. The shells could be kept for burning.

She collected all the dry branches and dead trees she came across on the way. Although there was enough firewood for this winter, it would not prevent her from stockpiling for next year and the year after.

After harvesting all the chestnuts, Su Qingxue thought about moving to another place, as she still had several secret bases.

As the saying goes, when luck comes, it cannot be stopped. When walking on the road, you can sense good things with a scan of your mental power.

This was not unfamiliar to Su Qingxue. Last time, she had dug up several of them from the ground outside the hot spring. They were ginseng.

All the ginseng that was dug last time was processed with the help of Grandpa Li and has been kept in the space.

It was also because I got too much last time and thought I was lucky enough and would definitely come across it again next time, so I specifically asked Grandpa Li how to prepare this ginseng. But I didn’t expect that I never came across it again since I asked.

Unexpectedly, she met him again after three or four years.

He quickly used his mental power to scan around the ginseng, and then he found another one not far away, and it was a bigger one.

He went straight to the largest ginseng, took out tools from the space, and carefully dug it out.

After spending an hour, he finally dug out the ginseng. Looking at the ginseng in front of him that was almost in human form, Su Qingxue felt that she had made a big profit.

It is bigger than any other one I dug before. It feels like it is at least four to five hundred years old, or five to six hundred years old. The first thought in my mind is how many people can be saved?

Generally speaking, if a ginseng that is older has only one breath left, it can really keep the person alive. It is better than the hundred-year-old ginseng that I had before.

Of course, hundred-year-old ginseng is also effective, but she plans to keep this five or six hundred year-old ginseng for her own use, and she doesn’t even plan to take it out.

I took a look at the sky outside. In the deep mountains and forests, the trees blocked the sunlight, and it became visibly darker.

I looked at the watch on my hand. It was already three or four o'clock. I would have to spend another hour on the way home. There was still enough time, so I prepared to take out the other ginseng.

The remaining one was not so precious to Su Qingxue, so she didn't treat it as carefully as she did at the beginning. At worst, she could just make soup with it after it broke.

When I took it out, three whiskers were indeed broken off. I put the broken whiskers away and planned to stew chicken with chestnuts tonight, and put another whisker in it.

After taking out the ginseng, he didn't have time to check it. He put it directly into the space and ran down the mountain impatiently.

It's almost six o'clock now. If it were a little slower, Zhou Huaian would have returned.

Then his heart skipped a beat, realizing that he still had one basket left to complete his task for today, so he ran even faster.

When we were almost at the foot of the mountain, we filled our backpack with pig feed and ran as fast as we could to the cowshed. Fortunately, the old lady and old man who were recording points had not left yet.

After handing in this basket of pig feed, today's task will be completed.

On the way back, I met Zhou Huaian who came to look for me, with a worried look on his face.

"Why did you come back so late today? If I can't find you again, I might just go to the mountain to look for you."

"No, I found something good today. I wasted some time in the mountains."

Thinking of the five or six hundred year old ginseng, Su Qingxue was still very happy even at this time. It had been a long time since she had such a big harvest.

"What good thing are you thinking about so much? You have a lot of good things. Ordinary things should not be of your interest. I am quite curious."

My wife has a lot of good things and doesn't care about ordinary things. However, there are not many precious things in the mountain that can be considered precious and can catch my wife's eye.

He immediately had a guess in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud. Instead, he asked curiously, "Oh, what good stuff is that?"

After looking around and making sure that there was no one around except the couple, he leaned close to Zhou Huaian's ear and whispered, "It's a 500-year-old ginseng that's almost 600 years old."

Zhou Huaian was really shocked this time. He didn't expect that he would be so lucky this time.

"When the time comes, keep it for yourself. Don't tell anyone else. Keep it for yourself."

Su Qingxue understood what he meant. If others knew about it, there would be no peace. From small things like borrowing money to big things like borrowing one's life, one should never think too highly of others.

"I understand. I'll tell you now, and from now on just pretend that this matter never happened."

When the time comes, just put it out of your mind. When you really need it someday, make sure you think of it first.

The two walked home hand in hand. Su Qingxue told him about her other gains today besides ginseng, and also said that she wanted to eat stewed chicken tonight.

No matter what request was made, Zhou Huaian beside him nodded in agreement. It was not a big deal. He just wanted to eat stewed chicken. He would arrange it after returning.

As soon as he got home, Zhou Huaian asked his wife to rest for a while, then he went to the backyard and caught the big rooster that he had raised for two years.

With a knife, cut the neck, collect the blood in a bowl, then scald the hair with hot water, pluck out all the hair and chop it into pieces.

Zhou Huaian was busy cooking there, so Su Qingxue quickly took out the pine nuts, hazelnuts and chestnuts she had brought back and placed them in the left wing.

Use a small basket and fill it with about forty or fifty chestnuts. Peel the chestnuts inside and remove the shells, leaving the white and yellow flesh.

I soaked it in cold water for a while and put it in the kitchen for him to use. Then I couldn't wait to find clothes to take a bath. I felt smelly all over.
