Chinese toon sprouts, water celery, wild onions, wild leeks, shepherd’s purse, dandelion seedlings, Iris lactea, bracken and more could be found with some effort. They could be brought home, blanched as cold salad, or used to make steamed vegetables, and even mixed with minced meat to make fresh stuffing.

Especially Chinese toon sprouts and bracken, which were the most appealing.

It was just a short window of time for them to get to eat those things.

Chinese toon sprouts with eggs, Chinese toon sprouts mixed with tofu, Chinese toon sprouts with fried bacon, fried Chinese toon sprouts wrapped in egg batter, Chinese toon sprouts omelet, and even pickled Chinese toon sprouts could be delicious. The plants could also be ground to make Chinese toon sprout sauce during this time.

Brackens could be fried with smoked meat and bamboo slices.

Apart from those wild vegetables, the small cabbage, small rapeseed, Choy sum and so on in the field had also grown, and they were very fresh.

There would be a lot of delicious food to eat in spring for the family.

Qiao Xuan and Qi as well as Taotao often visited the mountains and brought lots of food home.

Bamboos and mushrooms were the best example. There were so many of them that they could be sundried as well for later use.

There were also a lot of roosters, rabbits, and roe deer hunted. Compared with preserved meat, fresh meat had a better taste.

Qi even hunted one wild deer weighing 50 kgs, which cheered up the whole family.

They stored meat for three or four days, and only gave out a few to others, since the members at home had increased in number.

The deer meat was still fresh the next day after it was hunted. Qiao Xuan did another round of grilling with it. She marinated the meat for grilling, which gave it a very special taste.

Then, they also made some dried venison. After it was finished, it weighed about 2 kgs, so they kept it for themselves and ate it little by little.

While they were enjoying the delicious dishes of spring, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan did not expect that they had formed a grudge with someone accidentally.

Three days after Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan bought the land from the agent, the housekeeper from Zhao Guanghua’s home ran into the agent and after some small talk, he asked. “Oh, the 70 mu of the Zhang Village…?”

“Sold already.” The land agent smiled, sounding pitiful. “Old Master Zhao did not need it and Businessman He needed to sell the land as fast as possible, so someone bought it without saying much about the price.”

The housekeeper looked embarrassed. He forced a smile. “Oh really? That is a shame…

The land agent smiled. “Well, this is how it is. The seller needed it to be sold as soon as possible, so I had to hurry up, otherwise I would ruin my reputation,

Housekeeper got so annoyed, but he still forced a smile. “True. To whom did you sell the land to?”

The housekeeper was very curious and distressed. This patch of land was close to the land of Old Master Zhao’s. If he had bought the entire land, it would have made it easier for him to control the land together.

In this way, the land could be enhanced to a middle-class size.

But when he heard about the seller’s urgency, he thought about getting some bargain.

Also, Old Master Zhao gave some presents to several friends who might have been interested and able to afford the land, telling them to spare the land for him.

After getting favors from Old Master Zhao, those people agreed, since they did not need the land so urgently.

Old Master Zhao was very proud and confident that he would be able to get the land, so he kept bargaining and did not want to retreat..
