It would be incredibly convenient to have access to these fruits whenever she desired.

Additionally, there were an array of fresh and sweet raspberries, raspberries, and Marchberries. There were also ground twists, milk fruits, goat milk fruits, ground loquats, sour dates, glutinous rice noodles, cold rice lumps, and more. Despite their una.s.suming appearance, being wild and hailing from the mountainous areas, they were often overlooked, yet their taste was truly delightful!

Since she had the ability to cultivate within her s.p.a.ce, why not take advantage of it?

In the future, she could enjoy these fruits at any time and even bring them along. Just the thought of it filled her with joy.

Qiao Xuan pondered which excuse she should employ to venture into the mountains when Shao Yunduan brought it up.

Although it was merely a hike, she would have the final say on the route once they entered the mountains.

However, Shao Yunduan was no longer the same person he once was, so Ms. Fang disagreed with his proposal.

Nevertheless, witnessing Shao Yunduans excitement, she realized how precious his return was. She didnt know when he would have the opportunity to return again, so she couldnt bear to turn him down. Thus, she instructed Shao Dalang, Shao Sanlang, Yang Xiaoni, Taotao, and others to accompany him and not venture too deep into the mountains or stay there for too long. Afterward, she hurriedly made her way back.

She even contemplated enlisting a few young men from the village to accompany them

Qiao Xuan sighed inwardly.

Shao Yunduan found himself caught between laughter and tears. Mom, you dont have to do this. Im not that clueless. I grew up in the village and have been to the mountains countless times. Youre exaggerating!

However, Ms. Fang insisted, Youre not the same as before! Youre not the same as before. You used to stumble, but now you cant afford to stumble. What if something unfortunate happens? No, no, no, Im just being silly. It doesnt count!

Shao Dalang and Shao Sanlang concurred with Ms. Fangs sentiments.

She gazed at Shao Yunduan as if he were a delicate treasure.

Qiao Xuan couldnt contain her amus.e.m.e.nt any longer and playfully winked at Shao Yunduan.

The young official, the hope of the entire village, truly lived up to his n.o.ble status. How could she possibly compare?

In the end, despite Shao Yunduans insistence, they decided against summoning the villagers. However, Shao Dalang, Shao Sanlang, Yang Xiaoni, and the others were required to accompany them and were prohibited from staying in the mountains for too long.

Shao Yunduan had no choice but to agree.

As they ventured into the mountains, Qiao Xuans spirits soared. She found delight in every corner and wore an unwavering smile.

Taotao, Yang Xiaoni, and the others were equally joyous.

Its been so long since I last came here. Ive missed it dearly!

Youre absolutely right! Its a shame Qi isnt here!

When Qi returns, Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law, you must come again with us!

Laughter and conversation filled the air. They gathered wild bamboo shoots and collected an abundance of mushrooms. They also plucked ripe wild fruits and berries, savoring their flavors. Although they refrained from hunting wild animals, they found their experience to be immensely fulfilling.

Qiao Xuan snapped off branches of wild fruits and berries, placing them into her s.p.a.ce. She had acquired everything she desired.

Upon returning home, she planned to allocate time to neatly plant each item. The prospect left her feeling immensely satisfied.

During this season, wild mushrooms were not particularly abundant, but there was an abundance of bamboo shoots in various sizes. Once blanched, the bamboo shoots would be shredded or cut into finger-length segments. Stir-fried with preserved vegetables and cured meat, they made for a truly exquisite delicacy.
