Ms. Niu could not help but feel greedy. It was getting very late, and the two young masters must be leaving soon. She could not do anything with the first section of the family around, so she had to leave.

But the two young masters did not leave. Instead, they stayed back for dinner.

The freshly hunted animals should be excellent to eat.

Qiao Xuan used all kinds of seasonings and prepared the dinner. They had dried bamboo shoots, fresh mushrooms and she woked them together for some plain yet delicious home-made dishes.

After dinner, Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong left.

Qiao Xuan said to them with a smile, “Remember to come for breakfast tomorrow morning! We can have steamed buns with those meat as fillings.”

Both of them nodded in agreement.

They did come for breakfast the following morning.

Qiao Xuan and Ms. Xu got up early to cook breakfast.

The meat of two roosters was removed, and the remaining chicken racks were used to cook porridge. The rooster was chopped, and some chopped green onions and shiitake mushrooms were added to make the bun stuffing.

The muntjac meat was minced for pies.

They added some hot and sour kimchi and chili sauce, making the breakfast look delicious and appetizing.

They ate breakfast and headed into the mountains again.

Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong loved the landscape of this place. They were not tired at all.

They were heading back the following day, so they kept hunting more animals and decided to bring them back home.

They were very lucky, because Qiao Xuan finally found the creeping figs she was looking for.

The fruits were slightly bigger than eggs, resembling steamed buns. One bush had many fruits on it.

Qiao Xuan pretended to look surprised. “Oh man, those are the creeping figs, really good things. Pick them and we can make jelly with them!”

The creeping figs were sliced open and there were many thin seeds that could be used to make jelly.

This kind of seed could be preserved for a long time after drying. When they wanted to eat jelly, they could just wrap it in gauze and gently scrub it back and forth in water. Then they could add a little gypsum and it would solidify into transparent jelly. If they could add some almond powder, or bletilla striata powder, they could get jelly with different colors.

“These can be used to make jelly?”

Shao Xiaoqi and Taotao were both very surprised.

Qiao Xuan used grass to make jelly, but did this plant work too?

Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile.

Taotao cheered. “Let’s pick them!”

Jelly was a really good thing, and they all loved it. They were so delighted hearing that they could make jelly with this and that it was preservable.

Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong had no idea what it was. “What is jelly?”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “A kind of snack, let’s go home early today and I can make some for you. If you like it, we can dry the creeping figs and have them delivered to you.”

Yuezheng Xiao smiled. “Of course, that must be a good thing!’

They all laughed.

They had more than 50 kgs of the creeping figs, and Qiao Xuan asked Shao Xiaoqi to remember this spot because they were going to return in a couple of days to chop some twigs to bring home.

They would need to have some figs too.

They carried the figs together, so it was not very heavy for them.

Then, they continued with the hunting.

However, they still failed to run into huge animals, except for a gang of wild boars. They were large in size, and had sharp teeth. They did not dare to move until the animals were gone..
