Chapter 228 Deep Mountains
In addition to Tremella fuciformis and some rare mountain delicacies, Qiao Xuan's spiritual sense detected several Ganoderma lucidum. Some were relatively small, or were located in a place that was difficult to pick, or were too far away from the direction they were heading, so she gave up.
I only picked two flowers by chance. Both were in good condition and a little bigger than my outstretched palm.
When she picked the two Ganoderma lucidums, she was not hiding from people, so it was difficult for her to hide them. She planned to take them home to dry, and put some in stewed chicken or duck at home as a nourishment.
Now that she has enough money, she doesn't want to go to the city for this.
In a moist forest of rotten leaves, Qiao Xuan picked several orchids.
She didn't know what species it was, but she had a feeling that it was a rare species. When no one was paying attention, she quietly placed three or four of them into the space, and the space didn't despise them and accepted them all.
These newly arrived orchids were planted obediently beside the original spring sword, slowly taking root in the soil, with branches and leaves stretching out, instantly adding a touch of green and vitality to the space.
After eating something in the mountains and walking for about half an hour, Shao Yunduan said, "It's getting late, let's go back."
The journey back will take quite some time.
Shao Xiaoqi uttered an "ah" and scratched his head in annoyance: "My luck is really bad today. I didn't encounter any big fish. Then I'll just hunt some small things!"
Shao Taotao said with a smile: "Seventh Brother, if we really meet a big one, it will be too scary! I think pheasants and wild rabbits are also good! Besides, today, Fifth Sister-in-law found so many white fungus, isn't it better than meeting a big one?"
The three of them laughed, and Shao Xiaoqi grinned: "That's right!"
Shao Xiaoqi then concentrated on looking for other prey. This place was deep in the mountains and old forests, sparsely populated, with an excellent ecology and plenty of prey.
With Qiao Xuan there, who led the way calmly, Shao Xiaoqi soon drew his bow and shot three pheasants and two hares.
Little did they know that they would have run into wild boars and tigers along the way, but Qiao Xuan, who was far away, led them to change direction.
Then, the four of them returned home.
I saw some wild bamboo shoots on the road and picked some.
There are mainly two kinds of wild bamboo shoots in this season, one is sweet bamboo shoot and the other is bitter bamboo shoot. They are not big in size, and after peeling, one is only slightly larger than a copper coin.
Sweet bamboo shoots do not need to be blanched. They can be cut into thin slices and put directly into the pot. They are sweet and fresh whether stir-fried or made into soup. There is no need to add meat, as this will better preserve the original flavor of the fresh bamboo shoots.
As the name suggests, bitter bamboo shoots need to be blanched and then rinsed in clean water for a day to remove the bitterness. Stir-frying with meat and peppers will make them more crispy and refreshing.
After returning home, Qiao Xuan put the white fungus in a winnowing basket and placed it in the garden to dry in the sun, and also dried the two Ganoderma lucidum together.
This time, they picked a lot of porcini, hericium erinaceus and red mushrooms. Such mountain products are too precious and should be kept for slow consumption, so Qiao Xuan also dried some of them.
The remaining parts are just right for stewing pheasant in the evening.
A few orchids didn't have flower pots, so they were planted in the corner of the garden. Qiao Xuan planned to use her wood ability to take care of them from time to time to see how they grew.
It was not until the evening that Xu and Yang Xiaoni came back.
There are a lot of weeds in the flower field. Because it was the first year of reclamation, the grass roots are particularly stubborn, and weeding has become a difficult task.
Although Mrs. Xu was cunning and calculating, she never slacked off in her work. When Yang Xiaoni arrived at her husband's house, she had already made up her mind to break away from the past and start a new life, so she naturally worked seriously.
