The two of them walked all the way inside. At this time, the wolfberries on the roadside were already ripe. She picked them as she walked. This is a good thing. It can be stewed into soup or soaked in water. It is very nutritious.

"Why pick this? It's everywhere in the mountains and fields, and it doesn't taste good."

Seeing that she was enjoying picking the fruits, Li Chengjin couldn't help but ask.

"These are all medicinal herbs that have the effect of nourishing blood and replenishing qi. They are good for stewing soup or soaking in water. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I might as well pick some and save them for future use!"

"Then I'll help you pick them."

He took Yu Suihuan's small basket and held it in his hands. The two of them picked fruits while chatting. When the basket was full, they put it away and then continued picking.

"Look, there are also small wild chrysanthemums, dandelions, and mint. After drying them, soaking them in water and drinking them has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying."

Whenever Yu Suihuan saw medicinal herbs, he would pick them and put them in his backpack, while also explaining their effects and functions to him.

Li Chengjin looked at the person next to him with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, which was quickly hidden in his pupils.

I heard that she had not been in good health during these years in Yu Mansion, but now she doesn't look like she is in poor health.

But how could she, a lady from a noble family who had been kept in seclusion, know so many medicinal herbs and understand medical principles?

"Hey, look, there are pheasant eggs here!"

When Yu Suihuan squatted down to pick wild chrysanthemums, he saw a few spotted eggs in a grass nest through the gaps in the weeds.

Looking closely, this is a pheasant egg. It is much smaller than a normal egg.

She walked forward, picked up the eggs carefully, and put them all into the space.

Li Chengjin took off the bow and arrow on his back and looked around.

"There must be pheasants nearby. Stand still here. I'll go over there and take a look."

There was a steep slope not far ahead, covered with weeds. Li Chengjin thought that there might be a pheasant lying there.

Yu Suihuan looked around and didn't see any wild fruit trees along the way. She was thinking about picking some wild cherries, which would be good for making canned cherries or making wine.

"Brother Crow, please take a look around to see if there are any wild fruit trees nearby. I want to pick some wild fruits to take back."

"Why eat wild fruits? Wouldn't it be better to eat meat? Tell your man that there are pheasants on those trees over there."

Brother Crow was shaking his head like a rattle, and Yu Suihuan had no idea which trees he was talking about.

"There is no conflict between eating meat and eating wild fruits. The combination of meat and vegetables is nutritionally balanced."

Eating meat is just the most basic requirement. Her goal is to make money, a lot of money.

"Just keep going along here, and there will be a wild peach tree not far away."

Yu Suihuan walked in the direction Brother Crow pointed, and indeed found a large wild peach tree. The wild cherries on it were ripe and exuded an enticing fruity aroma.

She walked up, picked one and sniffed it carefully. It had a sweet fruity aroma.

When Yu Suihuan thought about lighting a stove, boiling some tea, warming a pot of wine, and eating some fresh fruits in winter, he was very motivated. The days of hibernation would be so comfortable.

It didn't take long for her to pick most of the fruits from the entire tree, and she had no choice but to pick the ones at the very top that she couldn't even reach with a stick.

Forget it, I won’t pick them. I’ll just leave a few for the birds in the mountains. They also need to eat.

After picking wild cherries, she found a field of raspberries not far away. The red and purple fruits were very pleasing to the eye.

After Yu Suihuan finished picking raspberries, Li Chengjin also walked down the steep slope carrying three pheasants.

"It's getting late, let's go back quickly. Didn't we say we still need to pick bamboo shoots?"

Before they knew it, they had been in the mountains for more than two hours. When they got home from picking bamboo shoots, it was time to cook dinner.

"Okay, let's go."

Yu Suihuan put all the things into the space.

"It's so tiring to carry this thing. I'll take it out when we're almost home."

Li Chengjin did not object. Huanhuan was really a magical treasure. If it was used in a march, one person could carry the food and grass for the entire army, and it could also effectively prevent the enemy from attacking the granary.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself. Now the two of them were just a civilian couple.

So what if the emperor is incompetent and there are constant disputes over enthronement of kings in various places? Those major national affairs are not their concern.

The two of them went to the bamboo forest and dug a lot of bamboo shoots and picked some fresh mushrooms.

"How can you be sure that the mushrooms we picked are not poisonous?"

Yu Suihuan also saw a lot of mushrooms when she was in the mountains, but she didn't dare to pick them because she was not sure which ones were poisonous or not. If she ate a poisonous one, her whole family would be in trouble.

"Every household picks and eats these mushrooms. They have been around for so many years, so they are definitely not poisonous. Only those with bright colors are poisonous. You can't eat this kind."

Li Chengjin saw a red mushroom and pointed it out to her.

Yu Suihuan also knew this principle, but she was not sure. What if those that were not brightly colored were also poisonous?

"Are you stupid? Why don't you ask Brother Crow about this?"

Brother Crow was a little angry. The two of them were talking and laughing along the way, looking very unhappy. This damn girl had completely forgotten about it.

"Do you know if it's poisonous or not?"

Yu Suihuan didn't expect that Brother Crow could not only hunt for treasures, but could also identify mushrooms.

"We know by smell, of course."

"Brother Crow, from now on I can take you to pick mushrooms without worry. Haha, after the mushrooms are dried, we can store them and eat them in the winter. This way we don't have to eat radishes and cabbages every day."

Brother Crow rolled his eyes at Yu Suihuan, his expression quite speechless.

Let’s just say she is only good at farming, and she can be so happy just picking some mushrooms.

When they were almost at the door of the house, Yu Suihuan took out the three pheasants and the small backpack from the space and put them on Li Chengjin's cart.

"Uncle San, Aunt San, you are back."

The eldest child, who was playing in the yard, ran over to them impatiently as soon as he saw their backs.

"Aunt San, let me help you carry the backpack."

"Big boy is really good. Take these mushrooms to the well and wash them clean. We will make pheasant and mushroom stew tonight."

"We're having chicken tonight!"

When he heard that there was meat to eat, the eldest boy happily turned around in circles in the yard.

Yu Suihuan washed the bamboo shoots and mushrooms in the basket and went to his own vegetable garden not far from the door.

The vegetables are growing vigorously at this time, with green cabbages and fresh green onions next to them.

She was still a little puzzled. Since there were onions, why didn’t they use them every time they cooked?

Yu Suihuan picked a handful of green onions, some peppers, a lot of Chinese cabbage, a few eggplants, and a few cucumbers. She decided to cook tonight as she had been having a hard time eating these days.
