Chapter 1934 Hunting in the Mountains
Sure enough, when many people heard that they had to buy the seeds with their own money, they became hesitant again.
It is indeed not expensive and my family can afford it, but what if it doesn’t make money? Many medicinal herbs take two or even three years to produce a harvest. If it doesn’t make money, wouldn’t it be a waste?
Although it’s not much, it’s still money!
In the end, there were only a few people who were really willing to plant two or three acres of medicinal herbs and register here in Songshi.
On average, there are only two or three families in a village. The most is five, and the least is none.
When Song Shi reported the result to Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan smiled and nodded, "It's about what I thought. This number of people is enough. Remember the list and don't forget to give me more advice when the time comes."
Song Shi was relieved that he was not scolded, and he happily agreed.
In early December, taking advantage of the good weather, Qiao Xuan's long-cherished wish was finally realized. Shao Yunduan took time out to accompany her into the mountains to hunt.
Others who went with them included Aye, Zheng Sangge, Wu Guan, Mianmian, Lixia and others. Sun Bai, Sun Qian, Hang Xingshan and others did not go and stayed in the provincial government to guard it.
An An is still too young and cannot be taken into the mountains.
Early in the morning, before daybreak, a group of nearly twenty people set out by car and on horseback.
This time they were going to Mili Town, which was more than 60 miles away from Anzezhou City. There were continuous mountains, valleys, lush forests and abundant vegetation, and the most abundant prey.
Since you are going, you should naturally choose the best place.
Besides, Shao Yunduan has not visited the local people since he came to Anze Prefecture, so it would be a good opportunity to take this opportunity to understand the people's sentiments.
The group dressed as ordinary wealthy merchants. The road was not easy to travel on and it took them more than an hour and a half to reach Mili Town.
The Taoliling area they were going to was still more than half an hour away from Mili Town.
After having breakfast in Mili Town, we continued our journey.
Before entering Taoliling, they left the carriage and horses at the home of the headman in the nearest village and stayed there for the night.
By now most of the day had passed and it was impossible to go into the mountains.
It is impossible to spend the night in the deep mountains and forests in this winter. Safety is another matter, but the biting cold wind can freeze people to death!
We could only stay overnight and go into the mountains early the next morning.
After settling down, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan wandered around the village.
Although there are more mountains than fields and a small population in Anze Prefecture, the scenery is really beautiful.
Even around this small village, there are places worth seeing that will catch your eye.
The rhododendrons and wild cherry trees all over the mountain are withered at the moment and not very interesting to see, but one can imagine how gorgeous and beautiful they will be once spring comes, reflected by the green mountains and clear waters.
I spent a simple night at the headman's house. Except for being worried about An An, everything else went well.
An An has a wet nurse and maids to take care of him, so there won't be any problems. Thinking about it, he is not a child anymore, and it won't be a problem for him to be away from his mother for a night or two occasionally. Qiao Xuan forced herself not to think about it.
Children can be pampered, but they don’t have to be too delicate.
The next day, when the sky was hazy again, everyone set out.
The winter weather in the early morning is very cold. The chill clings to the face and hands, chilling to the bones, and the white air of the breath is clearly discernible.
Fortunately, I was wearing thick clothes, so I felt warmer as I walked, so it was okay.
