227 Into The Mountains Again

When Shao Xiaoqi spoke of this, Qiao Xuan was reminded as well. So, she went into town to buy some medicine first, and was fully-prepared before heading to the mountains.

The mountain was very far, so the four of them started before the sun rose.

The air was very cool at that moment.

Shao Xiaoqi was quite energetic. He became more active as he walked into the mountains. He had a lot of fun going along with Shao Taotao.

Shao Yunduan was walking next to Qiao Xuan, reminding her what she should watch out for, like the branches, which he kicked away for her sake.

Qiao Xuan did not need his help. She could see everything, and as long as she wanted to, she could use her superpower to move the veins away.

But Qiao Xuan felt sweet in heart, seeing her husband care for her in this way. She was not going to give this man to anyone else!

The four of them did not intend to head into very deep mountains, since they needed to factor in the return time. Seeing the surroundings getting stranger, they slowed down.

Shao Xiaoqi’s plan was to hunt and take some animals home.

He intended to get some rare prey, because roosters and rabbits were too commonplace for him, especially since he took such a long and difficult trip here.

They talked and walked, as they observed the surroundings.

There were many kinds of bamboo in the mountains, and the bamboo shoots were seen everywhere too.

From the time of the solar term of insect awakening all the way to the end of July, there were a lot of fresh bamboo shoots growing . As they were walking in the deep mountains, they would every now and then run into small patches of bamboo shoots.

There were many mushrooms too.

Wild berries were looking ripe as well.

However, they were too far away from the village, so they dropped the idea of bringing those home.

They needed to work on more precious things, with the limited energy they had.

They only paused to pick the rarely-seen and delicious mushrooms like Porcini mushrooms, Hericium erinaceus, wild red mushrooms, and small flower mushrooms.

Especially Hericium erinaceus, which was rarely-seen. They were lucky enough to get many on this trip.

They even found a bunch of snow fungus, which were picked when ripe, weighing around 2 or 2.5 kgs.

Qiao Xuan bore this place in mind. She would come to pick the mushrooms when they had the materials ready.

Shao Yunduan understood that the snow fungus were valuable, but he had never seen them before. When Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao heard from Qiao Xuan that snow fungus could be more valuable than gastrodia when sundried, they put them away carefully, fearing that they would break them.

Shao Taotao’s eyes were sparkling, as she smiled. “Fifth Sister-in-law, are you going to plant this in our yard too? That would be great!”

Shao Xiaoqi struck his head and smiled. “Yes, no wonder it sounds so familiar! Let’s bear this place in mind and we can come back to fetch the seeds next time!”

Seeing that they were not greedy but working for her devotedly, Qiao Xuan felt warmth inside her heart, nodding and smiling. “Yes. But it is not very easy to find it in the mountains, and we need to work on it. We are going to make a lot of money if we manage to plant them well.”

Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao were the biggest helpers when Qiao Xuan was starting her business. So, Qiao Xuan decided to pay them a salary and give them shares too.

When her business became bigger, their share would be so much that they would never need to worry about money for the rest of their lives.

Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao did not think that far. They were just very happy that their Fifth Sister-in-law had never been stingy towards them and they did not need to worry about anything.
