With her strong spiteful aura, she wasn’t afraid of ghosts at all.

In her previous training, the most basic exercise was to throw her into the morgue with dozens of dead bodies for a few days and nights, accompanied by artificially created terrifying rising zombie effects. If she wasn’t scared out of her wits and could face it calmly, she passed the test.

Even if there were real ghosts in the world, ghosts would be afraid of her, it wasn’t her turn to be afraid of ghosts!

Seeing her silent, Xiao Yishan knew she wasn’t listening, “Yue’er…”

She gave a faint smile, “Second brother, I know my limits. Besides, the mountains’ temporarily available food has been mostly harvested.” Only the bayberries were left. “I didn’t just pick a load of mushrooms, but two full loads. There’s another load in the kitchen. The combined weight is probably over 200 jin. The water jar is also filled. Prepare to eat mushrooms until you’re full. I will cook breakfast.”

She said and left the room.

The three men in the master bedroom had serious expressions on their faces.

“How can my wife endure bringing back over 100 jin of load?” Xiao Yuchuan sighed, “It’s all because I’m useless. I’m sick at this time…”

Xiao Qinghe looked at his third brother unexpectedly. Did he think it was just illness? His wife said it was poisoning.

Noticing the eyes of Fourth Brother, Yuchuan asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” He was just surprised that his wife didn’t tell Third Brother it was poisoning. Since his wife didn’t say anything, he didn’t speak up either. f𝐫𝗲eweb𝗻o𝐯el.𝚌o𝗺

Xiao Yishan looked heavily in the direction of the kitchen. Although he couldn’t see his wife from his seated position leaning against the wall, he still looked in that direction.

Su Qingyue turned around again, “Both stove pots are full of mushrooms. I’m going to sun-dry a portion of them, so I need to clear space in the stove pots. Otherwise, I won’t be able to cook.”

“It seems like we can only put them on the ground…” Xiao Yuchuan said with a troubled look.

“Even if the ground is swept clean, it’s still too dirty. After all, it’s food.” Su Qingyue thought for a moment, “I’ll pick some large banana leaves to pad underneath.”

Since she saw banana trees on the road up the mountain, she knew where to pick them. In about ten minutes, she had picked over a dozen huge banana leaves.

First, she put three large banana leaves together in the kitchen corner, then moved all the mushrooms that were temporarily placed in the two stove pots onto the leaves. After that, she lit the fire, washed the pots, washed ten jin of oyster mushrooms, added oil to the pot, fried the cleaned oyster mushrooms briefly before adding water to cook them.

She then washed medicine for Second Brother and put it in a pot to cook on a separate small stove.

While the mushrooms and medicine were cooking, she laid out five large banana leaves in the yard, put the two baskets of mushrooms onto the leaves, and let them sun-dry.

There were four or five types of mushrooms, such as common oyster and straw mushrooms. There were also shiitake mushrooms.

She picked all the shiitake mushrooms from the load of mushrooms in the courtyard, including on the table and floor in the kitchen. There were about seventy to eighty jin, and she spread them out separately to dry.

Dried shiitake mushrooms, not only have a long shelf life, but also taste best when cooked with chicken.

Second Brother couldn’t hunt due to his serious injury. Besides the recently picked mushrooms, the family only had a jin and a half of flour at home. Eating chicken… was too extravagant.

As she watched the fire and took care of the mushrooms, her work was quick. When the mushrooms in the yard were spread out to dry, the mushrooms in the stove pot were also cooked.

She added an appropriate amount of salt and a tael of ginger to season the pot of boiled mushrooms, which was then ready to serve.

She first served Fourth Brother a bowl of cooked mushrooms. After handing it to him, she proceeded to fill a large bowl with mushrooms and went to the master bedroom, sitting down by the bed near Xiao Yuchuan..
