Old Xu wondered, why did it take so long?

Su Nanxi explained, "Didn't you want to eat something delicious? Your favorite is dried wild game meat. We ate all the ones we made on the way, so we have to make them again! If we're going to make them, we definitely have to go catch some wild game first. We can only start making them after we've caught some! If you can't wait, you can go to the street and buy some pork to make them, but it just has to taste like you!"

Old Xu thought about it and realized that a few more days wouldn't make a difference. He knew it would take a lot of manpower and time, and there was no rush. If you want to eat good food, you have to be patient!

Those pork dishes can't compare to the taste of wild game.

Let's wait and see!

He'll go hunting wild animals too, and he'll get involved. When we get back, he'll have plenty to brag about!

Okay, let's do it this way!

I'm so excited just thinking about it!

The food he brought must be the best, enough to make those old folks drool!

Seeing this, Su Nanxi understood what was going on; it seemed that Old Man Xu was taking him back as a gift!

Even if not all of them are gifts, there's still a sense of showing off, so let's make the most delicious food and bring it back for him!

The old man used to send things out from time to time, though no one knew who they were for. Each time, after a while, he would receive a reply, and he would be so happy that his beard would twitch and he would be as excited as a child.

At the time, I thought he was having fun playing with the children, but now that I think about it, that doesn't make sense. Old Xu isn't someone who really enjoys playing with children, so his happiness must mean he has something on his mind!

He's secretly enjoying it!

They're secretly enjoying themselves!

He didn't say a single word to anyone!

I guess they're worried about the negative consequences if they say it!

Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with this old man. As long as it's not something bad, it's not a big deal.

Anyway, it's not anything precious. You can buy these things as long as you have money, they just taste a little different!

In the upper class, what delicacies don't they have?

You can get it by throwing money at it!

Su Nanxi turned around and went to prepare things.

The next day, everyone except Qin stayed at home and went to the mountains.

Su Nanxi had scouted the area beforehand and knew where wild animals might appear and where wild vegetables could be dug up!

As usual, Su Nanxi made a simple trap, then went to dig for wild vegetables and mushrooms, and also gathered some firewood along the way!

Xiao Liu had never seen anything like it before, so he found it very novel and was very excited along the way.

He was left behind by Su Nanxi, so naturally he ended up staying with the Mo family.

He didn't want people to say he was a freeloader, so he always volunteered to do the work and never let himself be idle. He took on the heavy and tiring jobs without even considering his own age!

The Mo family would never let him do it. How could they let a child do heavy work!

So they gave him some light work to do, since he wouldn't let himself be idle anyway!

Doing more light work won't make me too tired!

Sigh! They won't listen no matter what I say, what can I do?

Even if outsiders don't say anything, I feel really guilty!

"Sister! Are these mushrooms edible?"

Xiao Liu picked up a brightly colored mushroom. He had never picked mushrooms before and was afraid to eat them. He didn't know if they were edible. He hadn't seen any mushrooms along the way. The weather was too dry, and mushrooms were hard to grow!

So, Xiao Liu doesn't really know what foods are edible!

Su Nanxi told him that brightly colored mushrooms are often poisonous and should not be touched. She even took two mushrooms she had picked herself as examples and told Xiao Liu to pick those!

Don't pick any more, he won't remember them all!

Xiao Liu took the mushroom, examined it carefully, and then ran off happily.

Old Xu followed along. He didn't really know much about it, but he still tried his best to collect the materials so he would have something to brag about later.

And you know what? He picked quite a lot!

He really liked those bamboo fungus, so he asked Su Nanxi if there were any more of those things to pick up.

Su Nanxi couldn't be sure whether it existed or not. These are products of nature. If nature allows them to exist, they exist; if it doesn't allow them to exist, they don't exist!

The weather is so abnormal, everything else might be going a little abnormal too!

Whether it's true or not, just go and see for yourself!

When I went to scout the location before, I didn't see it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there!

Perhaps they went at the wrong time, and it was already sold out!

"Let's go! Let's go take a look! That thing is good, but it depends on luck. You can't just get it if you want it! I don't know if they even have it! Since we're here, let's try our luck!"

Su Nanxi walked briskly into the bamboo forest in the mountains.

Everyone listened and followed suit.

Xiao Liu didn't understand what was being said, but that didn't stop him from following along.

You'll know once you go see for yourself; asking won't help.

He was puzzled. What good things could there be in the bamboo forest? How come he didn't know?

He used to go to the bamboo forest often, but he never found anything!

It seems he really is short-sighted, or maybe he's just unlucky!

My sister said that encountering someone is all about luck!

So they must have met before. Wow, they're really lucky!

Thinking this, he followed behind the person. Suddenly, the person in front of him stopped. He didn't notice and almost lost his footing, bumping into him. Luckily, he was quick enough, and the person in front of him ran away.

When he saw the white and colorful things scattered all over the bamboo forest, he was stunned. What were these things?

They look like mushrooms, but some have flowery caps, making them look like umbrellas!

He really had never seen it before!

He really is inexperienced!
