“It seems that there are many wild grapes in the mountains this year!’ Otherwise how could they easily find one patch of land full of it?

They all nodded in agreement.

Their arrival had startled the animals who were eating the grapes. Soon, some birds took off.

The trees were relatively high here, and some twigs were quite fragile. So they needed to be careful not to break them.

They were all aware of this. As they were talking, they all went up onto different trees.

Only Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan remained on the ground.

They exchanged a look and laughed.

Qiao Xuan said with a smile, “We are just waiting for the food to come to us!”

Shao Yunduan smiled. “That is our ability too!”

Qiao Xuan laughed. Her husband had learned to speak tricky words!

But the couple were not idle. Qiao Xuan just glanced about with her superpower.

This plain-looking forest was actually a huge feast for the eyes of Qiao Xuan.

There were treasures everywhere.

She could see roosters, rabbits, muntjacs, and all kinds of wild birds. But she could not do anything about it. Still, she couldn’t help wanting to pick all kinds of mushrooms in the forest.

There were many kinds of straw mushrooms, pine mushrooms, side ears, large mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms. Although the quantity of each type was not large, the two of them still found quite a lot of them.

By this point, they had not yet walked too far away.

One hour later, those on the trees came down.

Their baskets were filled with stuff, and they poured the grapes into two large baskets carefully.

They had harvested at least 20 kgs of grapes.

That was a big harvest for wild-growing grapes.

Seeing that Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had got many mushrooms, they all cheered. They were going to have a lot to eat during dinner.

They knew pretty well how tasty and fresh mushrooms in the mountains were.

Shao Sanlang patted Qi’s shoulders. “Qi, come on, you should catch at least two wild roosters for the mushrooms!”

They all laughed.

The team walked forward and within an hour’s time, they found grapes again.

This patch wasn’t as large, but they were still enough.

They almost managed to fill up their baskets after this trip.

So, Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni went home with the grapes first.

Otherwise it would be too tiring to carry them around.

Shao Sanlang still reminded Shao Xiaoqi as he was about to leave. “Qi, don’t forget about the roosters, or even rabbits will do!”

Qiao Xuan laughed.

Shao Xiaoqi threw a helpless look at him. “Don’t worry, Third Brother, I am definitely going to get some!”

As the couple left, Qiao Xuan and the rest were holding cloth bags. They stopped looking for grapes, but turned to search for mushrooms and wild animals.

They had more than 30 kgs of grapes today, and they needed to deal with them before continuing the next day.

Qiao Xuan could focus on finding the creeping figs at this moment.

But she did not find any. Instead she found some more mushrooms whilst Shao Xiaogi got three roosters and five small birds, before they all headed home.

On the way home, they got one muntjac.

It was not that hot, especially during the night when the temperature dropped tremendously. The animals could stay fresh even when they were not processed on the same day.

But they could not be put there for too long.

They got down to work as soon as they came home.

They needed to process the grapes overnight. They washed them, picked them off the twigs, filtered them and put them in the jars..
