But they found a lot of delicious wild mushrooms, fresh bamboo shoots, and bitter bracken. Moreover, Shao Xiaoqi also hunted two wild roosters.
They also found a lot of wild lilies, but they just started to grow before the mature season. Hence, Qiao Xuan didn’t bother to pull them out. She was going to wait until autumn, as long as she wanted, wild lilies were not troublesome to find at all.
They also found a batch of wild wolfberries.
She was very interested in wolfberries, so she asked the brother and sister to take some tender wolfberries seedlings back home.

They broke off a bunch of older branches, cut off the leaves and branches. She planned to take them back and place them around the flower field. In the future, they would often have fresh and tender wolfberry sprouts to eat.
Wolfberry sprouts were delicious in soups, stir-frying, stir-frying meat, scrambled eggs, salads, and steamed dishes.

Wolfberries could be used to make tea and soup.
They also passed a waterhole, which was flowing smoothly. There was a long creek running through the mountains, and there were a lot of fish in the pools and ravines.
Especially in the water pool, big fish which were longer than a foot could be seen swimming lazily in it.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao could not help but drool over the fish which they had tasted before. But for the distance away from home, they would have taken two of them home.
Qiao Xuan was quite motivated as well. She said to them, “Don’t worry, when we are free in winters, we can ask everyone in the family to fetch the fish together. We can even make smoked fish when the days turn colder. The fish is so big that it is the best material for making smoked fish!”
Smoked meat would always be made in farmers’ families every year, and some frugal families would eat smoked meat for half a year.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao were very happy hearing what Qiao Xuan said.
“Smoked fish! That sounds amazing!”
“I will bear this place in mind, and we can come back in winters!”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Then, we can hunt some more roosters and rabbits to turn them into smoked meat, but they have to be big and fleshy, otherwise there would only be a skeleton left!”
By that time, she could even find some wild boars and goats.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao were even more pleased.
It was getting late, so the three of them decided to head home.
Back home, Ms. Fang put the wild bracken into boiling water and blanched it over a fire, then tore it in half and soaked it in clean water.
Brackens had a bitter taste and needed to stay in water overnight.
But the bitterness also tasted good, like bittermelons, which was a delicious dish for people.
The bitter brackens tasted even better than bittermelons.

They deep-fried the meat in the oil and it could never turn out bad.
They left nothing for the second section of the family and the third section of the family.
Ms. Qiao heard some gossip from Ms. Fang.
Second Uncle and Ms. Niu must have been thinking that everything was sorted, so they started to show the intimidating behavior yet again.
They came to the door in anger.
They wondered why Shao Dalang and the others did not go over to help them with the fields.
But Ms. Fang drove them away coldly.
“What are you in a hurry for? I will take responsibility if something goes wrong. We have drawn contracts, right? What are you afraid of?”
Second Uncle and Ms. Niu got really angry but they could not do anything when they heard what Ms. Fang said.
