Xu Youshan felt very proud when he saw the panic on the faces of Chen and others.

Jiang Lili and others were driven out of the dilapidated temple by the yamen runners, and followed the servant to the hill where Chef Hai was looking for mushrooms.

The rain was lighter at this moment, and they still had raincoats on, so the rain wasn't a problem. The problem was that they didn't even know what edible mushrooms looked like!

Chen anxiously pulled Xin Cheng and said, "What should we do? This is a life-threatening job!"

Xin Che comforted everyone: "Don't worry, I know a few kinds of fungi, just follow me and look for them."

The two followed Xin Che closely, but problems soon arose.

"Brother, these two kinds of mushrooms look similar. Which one is the deer flower mushroom and which one is the morel?" Xin Cheng looked at the wrinkled brown mushroom in his hand.

Xin Che was also puzzled: "I have only seen cooked morels."

Chen frowned, "This is too slow, that bastard even gave us a fixed time!"

"But we only know one or two kinds of edible mushrooms. It's too difficult to find enough for twenty people in half an hour!"

After Chen finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Lili leisurely wandering in the woods, not coming over to join them in the search. She immediately became angry: "Jiang Lili, why aren't you in a hurry at all!"

"If you don't get all the ingredients, you'll be the one to suffer!"

Jiang Lili waved her hand: "Give me a quarter of an hour, it will be quick."

Jiang Lili is busy posting in the group asking for help!

She remembered that Hou Xiaoxiao was from an ethnic minority and her family was in the wholesale business of wild mushrooms. She knew everything about mushrooms because, after all, they made a living from them.

Once when the class had a picnic, Hou Xiaoxiao showed off her skills. She found all kinds of wild mushrooms on the mountain and stewed, stir-fried, pan-fried, and cooked them...she gave them a feast of wild mushrooms!

Jiang Lili tagged Hou Xiaoxiao in the class group and briefly explained the situation. The latter chatted with her privately and made a video call to her.

Hou Xiaoxiao: "Li Li, you finally found the right person! Let me see what's going on over there!"

Jiang Lili clicked on the flip camera on the video interface, and Hou Xiaoxiao immediately began to give orders.

Hou Xiaoxiao: "The one on the left is Morchella, which is edible. The one on the right is Deer Fungus, which is highly poisonous! Eating it will cause liver and kidney failure!"

Jiang Lili quickly knocked the deer mushroom out of Xin Cheng's hand and relayed Hou Xiaoxiao's words.

Hou Xiaoxiao: "The yellow ones are chanterelles, they smell good, pick them!"

Hou Xiaoxiao: "Wow, this thing screams death knell, throw it away quickly!"

Hou Xiaoxiao: "This is a ripe mushroom, eat it with confidence!"

......

Xin Cheng and others saw that Jiang Lili, who originally had a confused look in her eyes, was walking around as if her Ren and Du meridians were opened. Jiang Lili spoke in an orderly manner and explained clearly the precautions for distinguishing various fungi. Gradually, they went from being suspicious to being convinced.

With the support of Hou Xiaoxiao, Jiang Lili and others became more efficient. Xin Che and the other two learned quickly and soon recognized various types of fungi. The baskets filled with mushrooms gradually piled up higher and higher.

The four-member mushroom-picking team became more and more skilled and gradually divided the work. Xin Cheng, Chen and Xin Che were responsible for finding the mushrooms, while Jiang Lili was responsible for screening the mushrooms they collected to see if there were any wrong ones.

The four of them turned into mushroom harvesters and cleaned the mountain out!

By the time the bailiffs came to drive them back, the four of them had already made a great harvest, with the amount of mushrooms they had collected far exceeding 20 portions.

When they returned to the dilapidated temple, Xu Youshan and others were stunned to see two full baskets of mushrooms.

"Ah Hai, come and sort through these mushrooms they handed in."

Xu Youshan called Chef Hai, and Chef Hai started to select immediately.

There were so many types of mushrooms picked by Jiang Lili and the other three that some were beyond Chef Hai's knowledge. He hesitantly picked out those that he was not familiar with and put them in a pile.

"These fungi are not very common, and I don't know if the small ones can survive."

Xu Youshan touched his chin and said, "That's easy. You people in Zhaoping Marquis' Mansion can just eat these mushrooms. Whether they are poisonous or not is up to you."

He looked at the variety of wild mushrooms that Chef Hai had selected, and he didn't believe that there were no poisonous mushrooms among them!

Xu Youshan's men brought their own cooking utensils. He glanced at the old cooking utensils of Wang Zifu and others and said, "Captain Wang, just lend them your pots!"

Wang Zifu did as he was told.

Xu Youshan urged, "Hurry up, I want to see you eat it with my own eyes!"

Xin Cheng took the initiative to carry the pot and said to Jiang Lili: "Sister-in-law, you should know how to make this mushroom soup. We will help you and you can give us instructions."

"Aunt, I'm hungry too. Let me help you."

Xin Yan had been hungry for a long time, so he hurried over to help Chen prepare the ingredients. His parents had told him that if he wanted to gain something, he had to pay for it himself and not just ask for things from others.

With so many people helping Jiang Lili, the blame was quickly laid on her, and Jiang Lili completely obeyed Hou Xiaoxiao's arrangements.

When they were looking for mushrooms on the mountain, they also found some wild ginger and wild onions, which were just right for seasoning. Wang Zifu and others gathered around Xu Zishan to drink the good old wine, and they had long since ignored the cart of junk they had brought with them.

Jiang Lili took salt and other things without hesitation.

Various kinds of wild mushrooms were quickly put into the pot, and gradually a fresh fragrance emanated from the pot, making people salivate.

However, knowing that this pot of mushroom soup might be poisonous, the people in the dilapidated temple began to stay away after smelling the fragrance.

When Hou Xiaoxiao sent Jiang Lili a vibrating window to remind her that it was almost time to eat, Jiang Lili couldn't wait to scoop out the mushroom soup and eat with everyone in Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion.

This soup is so delicious!

It is hot, just out of the pot, very fresh and tastes great.

The taste was completely different from the fast food that Jiang Lili had eaten in a hurry and secretly on the road before. She didn't even care about the hot mouth!

The fresh and tender mushrooms burst with juice in your mouth when you take a bite, it’s so delicious!

Even Marquis Zhaoping, who had always been a bit reserved, no longer cared about his manners and buried his head in drinking soup and eating rice, with the soup even staining his beard.

Xu Youshan hasn't eaten yet. He is waiting for his white jade plate, jade chopsticks and other luxurious tableware to be delivered to slap Jiang Lili in the face!

But looking at the way Jiang Lili's family drank the soup, and the aroma emanating from the pot, it seemed even more fragrant than Chef Hai's pot.

Xu Youshan covered his throat with a fan and swallowed saliva wildly. He had just eaten several delicious cakes but his appetite did not subside. Instead, he became hungrier and hungrier.

Just as Jiang Lili and others were enjoying the food, Xu Youshan's female doctor and the servant who had gone back to get something arrived one after another.

The female doctor got off the exquisite carriage, and the servant Luo Er who came to fetch the items rode a strong horse, which was much faster, so he came back quickly.

"Here we are! We are here!"

At this time, Jiang Lili also received news from Guan Yue, the leader of the mountain bandits -

"Li Li, we're here!"
