Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Shao Dalang and Shao Sanlang were relatively innocent-minded. What they needed was to level the field well so they could face their fifth sister-in-law truthfully, especially since she was always very nice to them.

But Ms. Xu had her own ideas. She decided to learn how to plant the valuable herbs so she could try to do it on her own for her family, and earn some extra money for herself, which would make her very happy.

Qiao Xuan and her team still did not find the Chinese fleeceflower root over 500 years old.

They found one that was over 100 years old, but it was not enough for her purpose.

They found some mushrooms and other mountainous stuff, which they took home.

It was in the middle of May, and the mushrooms were barely seen. They were usually available around autumn.

High on the cliff, Qiao Xuan saw lithophytic orchids, which were quite valuable, but she said nothing about them.

They were at a very high and dangerous place, and she did not want Qi to take the risk. Also, she herself could not reach there either.

They found three more ganoderma lucidum, one of which was noticed by Shao Taotao. They picked them carefully and put them away. Qiao Xuan did not put them into space.

She found the other two, and with the help of her superpower, she delivered them into her space without being noticed.

The space was not as greedy as before, and did not steal anything from her.

Gastrodia, Polygonatum and other medicinal materials were also found. But they were relatively fragmented, and the pharmacies may not accept them. Hence, they gave them up to avoid wasting time.

They even saw a herd of over 20 to 30 wild goats walking by, eating grass, which made Shao Xiaoqi drool.

But the flock was very far away, and they did not have time to capture them, otherwise he would have been able to hunt and take one home.

The flesh of wild goats was tender and tight.

“What a pity!”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “There are numerous animals in the mountains. Don’t be sad, we will always run into them. But, are you capable of hunting such a large-sized wild goat?”

Shao Xiaoqi smiled. “Of course, I am! I am not afraid of wild boars as well! I got one wild boar last year too! But honestly, we have barely seen any wild boars in the mountains this year!”

Wild boars were not rare wild animals, and could be seen every now and then.

Some were tough and strong, which were beyond Shao Xiaoqi’s reach. He only went out for those which were manageable.

Wild boars had very thick skin. They were ferocious and angry, not very easy to capture.

Qiao Xuan would not tell him that there were many wild boars around, and that she had actively tried to avoid running into them. She just smiled and said, “It is good that we haven’t run into wild boars, they are so scary! You need to avoid them too, in case you come across them. You don’t have to hunt them down, your safety is more important!”

Shao Xiaoqi felt warm in his heart, and nodded. “Yes, I will be careful!”

The following day, they finally found two Chinese fleeceflower roots that were growing together. Qiao Xuan could tell that one of them was more than 500 years old whilst the other was around 400 years old.

Overjoyed, Qiao Xuan led Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao to dig them out.

The two Chinese fleeceflower roots were entangled with vines, so they cleared away a large side of the vines, and the land around them, before digging them out carefully.

It took them over two hours to get the two Chinese fleeceflower roots out.

The plants were old, but not very heavy.

Both of them were around 2.5 kgs, but did not resemble the figure of human beings.
