Chapter 61 - 61 Rabbit Nest
After the orchids were taken, they continued to hunt prey.
Qiao Xuan suddenly felt that the superpower was expanding. It was getting more sensitive as well.
It was getting late and they headed home.
Shao Xiaoqi had hunted three roosters, but Qiao Xuan did not have time to boost him.
She thought for a while and decided to drop the idea. Too many prey might draw attention, and this amount was enough.
She had the superpower, with which she did not have to worry about anything.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao thought the same. So they went to pick the chopped trees and started to head home.
But suddenly, on the way home Qiao Xuan sensed a big activity. On a hill 30 meters away from them, there were hundreds of wild rabbits that had dug hundreds of nests, thanks to the terrain.
It was indeed a kingdom of rabbits!
Qiao Xuan got so overjoyed.
She paused and turned in that direction. “There is a wild grape tree growing really vividly at that place. I want to take it home!”
Her small request was not turned down by anyone from the team.
So they decided to head towards that place.
Then, Shao Xiaoqi accidentally noticed the rabbits on the hill and as he took a closer look in that direction. He saw that there were so many of them!
“Fifth Brother, Fifth Sister-in-law, Taotao, just come and see! There are so many wild rabbits here! This must be their kingdom! How wonderful!”
Shao Xiaoqi’s eyes sparkled. He was really excited.
Shao Taotao cheered. “Remember this place. Henceforth, we will have endless wild rabbits to eat!”
Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile. “Same as what I think!”
They could not help but try to get some more prey on their way home.
Shao Xiaoqi had the itch of holding the arrow and brought down two wild rabbits.
The rabbits which were eating grass next to them, hushed into the hole.
Shao Xiaoqi went to pick up the two rabbits and smiled at them. “I have created this place in mind!”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “That makes everything so easy!”
“Yes!”
Now, they were fully loaded.
Apart from the roosters, rabbits and trees, they had got some more mushrooms, including wild shittakes, enoki mushrooms, and porcini mushrooms. They even pulled out a bunch of wild onions, as well as cress by the creeks.
On their way home, they paused and happened to find a patch of yams.
They dug three to four kilos of them.
Shao Xiaoqi smiled. “We won’t make it today, but tomorrow, me and Taotao, as well as my Elder Sister-in-law, will come to dig up everything from this patch. Yams can be stored, and they don’t go bad even after being stored for two months in the dungeon of the yard!”
Shao Taotao smiled. “Yams are my favorite food! Pink and sticky, very tasty!”
Shao Xiaoqi added. “Fifth Sister-in-law, will you be able to make any dishes with yams?”
Shao Yunduan and Shao Taotao turned to Qiao Xuan when he asked the question.
Shao Yunduan was curious, but Shao Taotao was looking forward to the answer.
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Of course… yes! We can wok, stew, cook porridge and serve cold dishes with yams. We can also make yam mash, steam tams, crush them or add egg flour to make yam cakes, dry and grind yam into powder to make yam pastry, and hang syrup to make yam desserts…”
Shao Taotao gasped. “So many ways of eating yams!”
Everything sounded so tasty.
Shao Xiaoqi could not help but show a drooling look. “Fifth Brother, you are so lucky to have married such a capable Fifth Sister-in-law!”
Shao Yunduan. “…”
Qiao Xuan laughed. “We can stew wild roosters with yams tonight, then we can also eat woked sliced yams and syrup yams. Now, I am craving for them too!”
