Qingchen stood at the door to greet them, and glanced at Chen Miao's basket. When he saw the plant, he couldn't help but frown: "Why did you dig this up?"

Shen Miao often digs up plants from the mountain, such as trees and flowers, which has resulted in the house being filled with all sorts of things in front of and behind it, and in the yard.

She dug up another plant and brought it back; Qingchen had no idea where she was going to plant it.

Shen Miao smiled mysteriously, "You'll find out when the time comes; it's a secret."

After saying that, he took the plant and went back to his room.

This plant looks just like aloe vera. When you peel off the skin, it's full of juice. However, unlike aloe vera, which has non-toxic juice and can be used to make face masks, this plant is highly poisonous and you shouldn't touch it at all.

Just to be on the safe side, Shen Miao put on gloves made of animal hide before she began to peel the skin off the plants. She squeezed out all the juice and put it in a bowl. One plant yielded two large bowls of juice.

Shen Miao was fairly satisfied.

She then gathered up the useless plant bark and threw it outside along with her gloves.

When she returned to the house, she found the four children gathered together, with Sanbao and Sibao each holding a bowl, ready to put it in their mouths.

What was in the bowl was the juice that Shen Miao had just squeezed out.

In that instant, Shen Miao was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. She took a few steps over, took the bowls from the children's hands, and placed them far away on the other side. After making sure the children couldn't reach them, she said seriously, "You're not full, why are you putting everything into your mouths?"

The children exchanged glances, and Sanbao said timidly, "Mommy, isn't that our juice?"

That stuff was green, and it really did look like fruit juice.

Shen Miao couldn't refute this, but she was still very angry and emphasized, "That's not juice, it's poison, understand? If you drink it today, you'll fall asleep and die without even realizing it."

The babies covered their mouths in fright, their eyes filled with terror.

The little boy was almost crying in fear, crying out, "What should we do, Mommy? Are we going to die? Waaah, I don't want to die!"

Shen Miao held the person in her arms and comforted her, "You didn't drink it, how could you die? Mother said that you would only die if you drank it."

"But I touched it with my hand?"

"Did you come into contact with any juice?" Shen Miao asked.

Little Sibao's hands were clean and hadn't gotten any green juice on them, but she still said, on the verge of crying, "I think I got some, boohoo."

Sanbao was also shaking his hands vigorously, as if he was trying to shake off something dirty.

The two little ones holding the bowls were quite frightened.

No amount of comforting from Shen Miao could help.

Erbao's eyes lit up, and he pulled Sanbao along, saying, "Come with me, let's go to the river and wash our hands."

Da Bao also pulled Si Bao along, and the four little ones ran quickly to the riverbank.

Qingchen, unaware of the situation, came over and asked, "What happened? What's wrong with them?"

"I thought I was poisoned," Shen Miao shrugged, amused.

"Where did the poison come from?"

Shen Miao pointed to the two bowls and said, "Here."

Qingchen walked over, smelled the liquid, and his expression changed slightly. "Why did you bring this back?"

“It works.” Shen Miao smiled slyly.

Qingchen's expression was not good. He warned Shen Miao, "There are children at home. If you bring these highly poisonous things back, what will you do if they unknowingly drink them?"

Shen Miao was truly frightened today. Even now, thinking about it, she still feels lingering fear. She said with lingering fear, "I'll do it secretly from now on and I won't let them see it again."

"You'd better not forget what you said," Qingchen said seriously.

Shen Miao understood without him saying it, but she didn't intend to give up on this matter because it was truly important.

It's a poison she discovered by accident. It's very useful for hunting; animals that come into contact with it will collapse and stop resisting.

Shen Miao then thought that it would be great if she could make it into poison and apply it to weapons.

By sheer coincidence, she found one today and brought it home.

Once the liquid had thickened slightly, she applied it to all the weapons.

Then she would test the effect on the next hunt. Shen Miao was making plans when she heard the children laughing outside. She put away the two bowls and went out with Qing Chen.

"Mommy, I washed it so many times, it's not poisonous anymore." Little Sibao raised his hand high for Shen Miao to see, like he was showing off a treasure.

Shen Miao looked at them and saw that their fair and tender little hands were red from rubbing. She chuckled and said, "Hmm, it's not poisonous anymore. Little Sibao washed them very clean."

Sanbao chimed in, "I washed myself very clean too."

Shen Miao also praised, "Sanbao is also great."

"So what are we having for dinner tonight?" Sanbao asked excitedly, seizing the opportunity.

Shen Miao: "..."

Goodness, she really is a little foodie, always thinking about food.

Shen Miao thought for a moment and said, "Let's just pan-fry a steak."

She hasn't had steak here yet, but she's eaten quite a lot of roast beef, which is definitely a different taste.

The babies cheered when they heard it was a new food, and jumped around in the yard hugging it.

"What is steak?" Qingchen asked quietly from the side.

Shen Miao remained expressionless. "It's food."

After saying that, he went to select the right beef.

Qingchen watched her back and thought to himself, "Another kind of food I've never heard of before. How did Shen Miao come up with this? Or was it not her idea at all?"

Shen Miao didn't see that Qing Chen's deep gaze followed her every move.

She selected the beef, cut it into six pieces, one for each person, started a fire to fry it, and then sprinkled some pepper on top.

She has now basically found most of the seasonings, claiming that she found them in the mountains. Anyway, the mountains are so big, if anyone doubts, they can go find them themselves.

In fact, many of these seasonings were taken directly from her spatial storage.

After all, some of the seasonings are really hard to find.

Once the steaks were cooked, everyone gathered around to enjoy the meal. The children ate with gusto, their little faces filled with joy and satisfaction.

Qingchen wasn't as unrestrained as the kids. Although she was fast, she ate with a rather refined manner.

Watching him eat is a pleasure.

Shen Miao would occasionally look up and feel content with her current life; it would be even better if there were wine.

She suddenly remembered that there didn't seem to be any alcohol in the world right now, let alone red wine.

That's true; there's not even enough grain for the beastmen to eat, so where would they get the extra to brew wine?

However, wine and fruit wine are acceptable.

Shen Miao considered it in her heart and felt that it was not impossible. Anyway, there were plenty of fruits on the mountain. She could make some when she had time.

She was also getting a little hungry; thinking about the taste of fruit wine, Shen Miao swallowed hard.
