Chapter 238 - 238 Good Thing
238 Good Thing
Qiao Xuan did not give her too many things, nor did she want to tell anyone about it. But for Shao Yunduan who suspected her, she would not have disclosed it to Shao Yunduan. So, she just nodded and agreed.
Unassured, Shao Yunduan stressed some more and then finally stopped.
Qiao Xuan let out a sigh of relief.
The following day, Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan, Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao went into the mountains for a walk.
They did not find any major things the day before, and Shao Xiaoqi wasn’t very satisfied with the result. He was motivated to find some bigger prey.
Feeling bored, Qiao Xuan decided to tag along.
When she proposed it, Shao Yunduan suggested following her into the mountains as well, at the premise that he had not affected his study plan. He could make up for it later.
The four of them went into the area they had never been to before.
The green hills were quiet, the ancient trees were towering, and the thick fallen leaves were rustling. The temperature in the mountains was much lower than outside, and it was cool to walk in it.
From time to time, the crisp and pleasant sound of birds chirping could be heard, and the echo reverberated through the valley, sounding quite melodious.
With her superpower, Qiao Xuan could see all the good mountain stuff.
But they were only here to pick some precious mushrooms.
Shao Xiaoqi found some Bamboo partridges in the forest, and hunted them successfully.
Bamboo Partridge were as big as piegones, and the flesh could be very tasty, different from ordinary roosters.
They were just walking, when Qiao Xuan saw something with her superpower.
She saw that there was a patch of tea woods standing out on the valley in the southeast direction.
Two of the tea trees were strong and the leaves were both dark green, looking quite tempting.
Qiao Xuan did not have much knowledge of tea. She had once seen many wild-growing tea trees here, which did not draw her attention. But this patch of tea trees gave her a very strange, different feeling.
Her sense told her that these were wonderful things!
Motivated, Qiao Xuan believed that their trip could be rewarding with this. The two old tea trees were ancient, and the leaves were tender. They could be obtained and taken for tea at home.
Therefore, Qiao Xuan secretly took the other three members of their team in that direction.
As they came to the feet of the mountains, she pointed at the patch of tea trees on the valley within their sights. “Look, that is a cluster of tea trees. The leaves are so tender and we can take some home. The tea made out of it should be very tasty!”
Shao Yunduan spotted them too. He had more knowledge of tea than Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao. He added with a smile after seeing the patch. “The leaves look very good. Let’s get going!”
“Okay, Fifth Brother, and Fifth Sister-in-law!”
Qi and Taotao would never object to the suggestion made by them. Both of them were very interested in food and drinks.
Shao Xiaoqi asked. “Fifth Sister-in-law, apart from making tea, can the tea leaves be used for anything else?”
Shao Taotao’s eyes sparkled and she looked excited.
Qiao Xuan nodded and smiled. “Of course, they can be used to fry with shrimps, eggs, and make pancakes. We can use tea water to stew chicken and bones, and we can even add the leaves to braised dishes, or stir-fry… anyway, let’s take them home!”
