However, the space did not undergo any major changes, apart from becoming more flourishing.
Qiao Xuan finally came to the conclusion after many times of experience that she needed to get many precious plants into space, so that the amount could lead to major changes.
Qiao Xuan got a large bag of purple-colored tea leaves, as well as some tea tree sprouts. They tied them up together and started to head home.
It was a good harvest.
As they went back home, Qiao Xuan asked Taotao for help. They planted the tea trees in the yard and at the corners of the floral field.
Then, they started to process the fresh tea leaves.
No one had any idea how to process it in a complicated way, but the villagers usually fried them and got the water out, so the tea leaves would be in the best condition for storage.
This time, they did the same.
The tea leaves relieved the thirst, so villagers loved to have some planted next to their yards. In this way, they could pick some and fry them for daily tea drinking.
These tea trees were not precious ones, but ordinary ones.
So they did not need to be taken well care of, nor did they need to be chopped or trimmed.
The trees they brought home today were apparently different from the ones they drank at home.
Qiao Xuan was thinking about taking some twigs and leaves for Manager Qin to take a look.
If it was a precious kind, she would turn the field she bought from the Zhang Village into a tea garden.
Qiao Xuan used some fresh tea leaves to make the dishes for dinner.
These two kinds of tea leaves became increasingly fragrant, and the scent made people feel fresh in their minds.
Ms. Fang praised it highly and smiled. "I never expected that there would be such fabulous things in the mountains. These leaves seem to taste different from what we drink every day!"
Qiao Xuan smiled. "There are many precious things in the mountains. Qi is familiar with the paths, so he takes us to these places! He knows far more than others!"
Ms. Fang laughed. "He hunts, but he doesn't know about tea. It is you and Duan who helped!"
Ms. Fang and Qiao Xuan exchanged a few words and said suddenly, "Remember Ding Xiang who was trapped in the ancestral hall? When Ms. Zhou brought her food at lunchtime, she was gone! Ms. Zhou and Ding Erzhu are so anxious and are looking around for her everywhere. The girl is so bold as to escape!"
Qiao Xuan was shocked and her face changed. "She… escaped?!"
"Yeah!" Ms. Fang kept the gossip flowing. "I never expected that this girl could be so stubborn! I thought she was a quiet one. But why did she run away when she was in the ancestral hall? Where can she go? Will she come back? She would receive even worse punishment when she returns because her grandparents are so angry now!"
Qiao Xuan panicked. She did not give any response as her mind got confused.
She had a feeling that Ding Xiang did not run out of the ancestral hall out of anger. More importantly, she felt that the girl was not going to come back.
