The 30 kgs of mushrooms were sorted by Qiao Xuan, who processed them well.
Some not so good-looking ones were picked out for dinner, and others were sundried. Thanks to the bright sun during the daytime, they should be put away after a few days.
They almost finished the sun dried mushrooms in spring, and what they had found today would be enough for them to make soup, and hot-pot in winter.
They decided to eat two roosters, and two birds for dinner. The remaining animals would be put in Qiao Xuan’s yard.
Roosters were never that big, and the amount was enough for the large family.
As the two birds were stewed with yams, one rooster had the breast meat sliced, marinated and battered, then stir-fried with fresh mushrooms.
The rest was cut into dices and added with only ginger, garlic and scallions for braise.
A plate of stir-fried wax gourd, a bowl of dry-stir-fried beans, and a
wolfberry sprout soup were served during dinner.
Ms. Fang would not have minded to share some animals with the second and third section of the family in the past…
But due to what Ms. Ma and Third Uncle did a while ago, and the ridiculous request they put forward as well as the annoying look of Ms. Niu, Ms. Fang was really disgusted with them.
So Ms. Fang was not going to share anything with them at all.
Eldest Uncle had not yet said a thing when Ms. Fang snapped at him, so he fell silent.
No one cared if he was happy about it or not. Anyways, they were already used to ignoring his feelings.
He could not influence anyone around.
After walking into the mountain for three days, they had found enough grapes. If they wanted to eat them in the future, they could bring them back in small quantities. But it was really not necessary because Qiao Xuan’s garden had them, and the fruits were particularly large, even bigger than the authentic wild ones.
They even got many mushrooms, some of which were fresh and some were sundried.
They discovered a small patch of date forest, which had seven or eight trees, thick in trunk with a diameter of 30 cm.
The dates were already ripe, crispy and sweet.
They paid a visit to the mountain two times and got all the red, ripe ones down.
They carried them home to dry. These would be made into dried dates, added to the stewed soup, added to the tea, to the porridge or eaten as snacks. They could also be used to make date cakes or date paste fillings.
In addition, there were other wild fruits that could not be named, which were weird in shape and different in colors.
Qiao Xuan could use her superpower to determine whether the fruits were poisonous or not. Actually, those wild children growing in the mountains could always tell that as well.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao got a few and presented them to Qiao Xuan.
After taking a break for two days at home, they decided to go into the mountains to find the creeping figs when Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong arrived there unexpectedly.
Only now did Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan remember that they were here to hunt with them.
Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong were afraid of drawing the County Magistrate’s attention, so they changed into ordinary dresses and came with ordinary wagons, without showing anything about their real identities.
The effort was totally worth the while.
They spent one night at the hotel as they arrived at the county, and the following morning, they headed towards the village.
But they again ran into Widow Sun the moment they came to the village..
