A group of people continued their search in the mountains, while Mo Wen and the village healer followed behind. They did not venture deep into the forest, as they were skilled individuals from the village, capable of handling fierce beasts without much concern.
Mo Wen diligently examined the materials collected by his team, some of which he couldn't even recognize himself. He would smell them and taste them to determine their usefulness. For the spices they knew, he had the healer record their names, while those they couldn't identify were given names based on their scents. However, their haul was not limited to spices; they fully utilized Mo Wen's expertise in "scraping the ground," collecting many items they had previously overlooked simply because Er Gou Brother informed them that these items would be beneficial for the village. Following Er Gou Brother's suggestion, they also brought back seeds or dug up entire plants for each spice. This way, once planted around the village, they wouldn't need to venture into the mountains for collection again; they could simply harvest from their own fields.
Indeed, people in this world relied on the mountains for sustenance. Villages like Kao Shu Village primarily survived through hunting rather than farming. Mo Wen also assigned them a task: to search for edible seeds to bring back and plant in the fields cleared at Village Front. To his surprise, the group collected hundreds of spices and dozens of edible seeds, with several reaching Lingzhi level. Among them were two varieties that he didn't have in his collection. He decided to ask Erniu for a few seeds upon returning home to enrich his own collection.
Two days later, when they returned to the village, Erniu gathered all the laborers and initiated a vigorous transformation project. They aimed to establish a training ground in the back mountain. Mo Wen detailed how to construct it, and the river at Village Front was reshaped by these strong men according to his specifications. They even built a Zaoqi Workshop. Lao Liu nearly lost his position due to his poor health but managed to keep his role as a craftsman by promising to work twice as hard; however, Erniu assigned him two assistants.
As soon as the village healer returned, he shut himself away to focus on studying what Mo Wen had taught him over the past two days. The remaining villagers were assigned to prepare the land and plant the spices and seeds collected from the mountains. Naturally, Mo Wen also received several seeds from Erniu.
"Cooking is like martial arts," he said. "What lies before you are your weapons. Now I will teach you about each knife's purpose; please pay close attention." With the classroom established, Mo Wen began his role as a friend of women. He taught everything from knife techniques to sword techniques, identifying various spices and processing them one by one to all the village women.
It must be said that these women indeed had more talent than men when it came to culinary skills; their dishes not only looked better than those of their teacher but tasted just as good. After tasting the creations of his fellow sisters-in-law, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is how you teach your sisters-in-law to starve your little uncles!" Unbeknownst to him, these sisters-in-law had put in considerable effort behind his back since they knew this little uncle wouldn't be staying in the village for long.
