In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn

Each person could only get two or three pieces of meat at most, but everyone was very satisfied, especially since this time the meat didn't have the previous fishy smell, which made them even happier.

Holding their bowls, Aunt Liu and the others tasted the fruit after hearing everyone's descriptions. Finally, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "That fruit is truly amazing! It can produce salt and also be used as a seasoning. It's a real treasure!"

Su Li thought so too, and nodded, saying, "This thing is indeed rare. It's very lucky to have come across it. Now that you aunties know the uses of this fruit, you can preserve it properly."

Aunt Liu and the others nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will preserve it well. We just don't know if the fruit tree can be used to save seeds."

Upon hearing this, Su Li lowered her head and pondered, then said, "It should be possible. We'll look into it later."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu and the others nodded and said, "It would be wonderful if we could preserve our offspring."

Su Li: "Mm."

……

The next morning, Su Li got up early and went out with Zhao Zexuan and his group. Su Li planned to take advantage of these days to explore the mountain and see if she could find some good things.

Zhao Zexuan had other plans for the day, so he left with his men shortly after setting off, leaving Mo Bei to stay by Su Li's side.

Su Li's original intention was to rely on luck to wander around the mountain. She didn't have any particular plans for where to go. Since Zhao Zexuan had something to do, she naturally wouldn't bother him. Being able to wander around the area was already good enough.

Mo Bei was a dutiful guard, always silently watching over Su Li without interfering, to the point that Su Li sometimes almost forgot that someone was following her.

The mountain was very large, and by now they could no longer hear Zhao Zexuan and the others. Su Li didn't care, and when she reached a fork in the road, she randomly chose a path and walked forward.

Su Li came here today to try her luck, expecting to find nothing, so even though half a day had passed and she hadn't found anything, she wasn't disappointed.

Judging that it was lunchtime, Su Li found a place to sit down and took out some dry food to eat. She handed the dry food she had prepared earlier to Mo Bei and said, "Thank you for accompanying me today. Judging from today's luck, we are afraid we will have to return empty-handed."

After accepting the dry rations from Su Li, Mo Bei silently thanked her and then said, "After the flood, most of the plants and animals on the mountain were damaged to varying degrees. It's normal that we can't find food. Madam, you don't need to worry about it."

Su Li thought so too, so she relaxed even more and sat in a more comfortable posture.

Leaning back, Su Li reached out and touched the weeds behind her, then suddenly stopped, as if she had touched something.

Somewhat incredulous, Su Li put down the dry rations in her hand, brushed aside all the withered leaves behind her, and then widened her eyes in surprise. This was ginseng!

Desperately recalling what ginseng looked like in her memory, Su Li finally confirmed that she hadn't made a mistake; she had found the ginseng!

Mo Bei, who had been quietly eating his dry rations, couldn't help but step forward to ask what was going on when he saw Su Li's inexplicable actions.

However, before he could even utter the word "madam," he stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, swallowed hard, and said, "Madam, this is ginseng, isn't it?"

Mo Bei's words brought Su Li back to reality. She looked at the plump ginseng in front of her again and nodded solemnly, "Yes, that's right, it's ginseng."

“Mo Bei, look around again. I bet there are still ginsengs hidden around here,” Su Li said.

Ginseng is a life-saving medicine, and Mo Bei naturally understood its importance. Hearing Su Li say this, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll start looking around. Madam, you can take this ginseng first."

Su Li nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will be very careful."

***

The two then focused intently on digging for ginseng. The process of digging for ginseng was complicated, and it was easy to damage it if one was not careful, so the two were very, very careful.

This place is probably very suitable for ginseng to grow, so as Su Li expected, the two of them dug up a total of ten ginseng plants, some of which were a hundred years old and others were fifty years old.

While Mo Bei wasn't looking, Su Li secretly dug up three or four small ginseng plants and put them into her space, planning to plant them in a ceramic pot when she had time.

Su Li was very satisfied with the harvest, and Mo Bei was also very pleased, especially when they saw the plump ginseng wrapped in cloth bags, their good mood reached its peak.

Having confirmed that all the ginseng had been collected, Mo Bei looked at the sun overhead and, seeing that it was still not late, asked, "Madam, what are the next steps? Should we return to the camp or continue searching for other things?"

Having just found ginseng and made such a great harvest, Su Li was in high spirits and didn't really want to go back to camp. So she said, "Let's look around some more. It's still early anyway."

Mo Bei naturally agreed with Su Li's suggestion and nodded, saying, "Okay."

The ginseng was wrapped in cloth and placed in the bamboo basket behind Mo Bei. Su Li felt reassured, so she went to look for other things with peace of mind.

It has to be said that ginseng does choose its growing place. Not far away, Su Li saw a lush chestnut forest. The first thing she noticed was the chestnuts that had fallen to the ground. Then she looked up at the trees and said happily, "Mo Bei, we are very lucky today."

Mo Bei, who had been observing the surroundings from behind, stepped forward upon hearing this, looked up, and was immediately filled with delight.

"Madam, we are so lucky today!" Mo Bei couldn't help but exclaim.

At this point, Mo Bei couldn't help but sigh that people's luck is just different; otherwise, why didn't they have such good luck when they went out a couple of days ago?

With ginseng and chestnut forests, Mo Bei began to doubt whether he was dreaming. Even though he was usually quite calm, he couldn't help but pinch his arm to confirm the truth of the matter.

"Hiss," Mo Bei couldn't help but exclaim softly. He had hit a little too hard, but it was precisely because of this that he was certain that everything he had experienced today was real.

Su Li noticed when Mo Bei pinched himself, and now she couldn't help but ask with a smile, "How is it? Is it true?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Bei blushed slightly, but couldn't help nodding and saying, "It's true, I'm not dreaming."

Su Li also felt that they were lucky today. She walked to a chestnut tree, squatted down, picked up a fallen chestnut, opened it, and then said with some regret, "It's ruined, we can't eat it anymore."

Hearing this, Mo Bei also picked up a chestnut, opened it, and said, "We can pick them up together and then sort out the bad ones that can't be eaten."

Su Li: "That works too."
