Eating melons

Liu Aiying did not answer Jiang Qi's words, but looked at Jiang Qi and Wei Wei's mushrooms, and the same was true for Zhao Xing.

Liu Aiying nodded. "Not bad. Although it's a little less, it's all edible. It's much better than the other three."

Jiang Qi and Wei Wei just smiled when they heard this and didn't say much. They took out the sweet potatoes and potatoes from their lunch boxes and started eating.

This morning Jiang Qi also cut some pickles and put them in Wei Wei's devil pepper jar, but the taste was not particularly spicy.

Jiang Qi: "Auntie, try our kimchi. It's a little different from yours. See if you like it."

Liu Aiying: "Really? Let me try it."

After saying that, he picked up a piece of it with chopsticks and tried it. The sour and spicy taste exploded in his mouth in an instant.

"Cough cough cough."

The juice immediately choked into Liu Aiying's trachea, causing her to quickly drink a sip of water. When she stopped, tears came out.

Liu Aiying breathed a sigh of relief. "It's delicious, but don't eat too hastily or talk while eating, or you'll choke easily. But this is really good, and it's crispier than the ones we pickle here."

Zhao Xing became interested after hearing this. "Really? Then I'll try it too."

After saying that, she also picked up a piece of food with chopsticks to try it. However, Zhao Xing couldn't tolerate spicy food as well as Liu Aiying. She started to hiss after taking a bite.

Zhao Xing: "Hiss~, it's delicious, a little spicy though. But it goes really well with rice."

Liu Aiying: "It is indeed. It is a bit spicy for us, but it is just right for them. People from Hunan Province can handle spicy food."

Jiang Qi: "Auntie likes to eat it, so bring some back when the time comes. We've made quite a bit, would you sisters-in-law want to try it? We brought quite a lot."

Liu Aiying: "Then I won't be polite. You can teach me how to pickle it when the time comes."

Jiang Qi: "Okay."

After saying that, he handed the lunch boxes to the daughters-in-law of the Zhang and Zhou families.

"Okay! Thank you, Jiang Zhiqing and Wei Zhiqing."

"We have to taste it."

"Thank you, Jiang Zhiqing."

People in the north can’t handle spicy food that well, so they make a hissing sound after eating it, but no one thinks it tastes bad.

The spiciness was just right for Wei Wei and Jiang Qi. Although the fermented water in the jar would become spicier as time went by, they put a lot of vegetables in it after they finished eating, and it wasn't as spicy as before.

Eating only potatoes and sweet potatoes had no taste at all and they really couldn't get used to it, but with the addition of kimchi, the two of them finished it all in one go today.

They came back late, but finished their meal with Liu Aiying and the others.

After eating, the Zhou and Zhang family members started to attack the backpacks of Liu Jiaojiao, Wu Mei and Yu Xi.

They simply poured out all the mushrooms from the three people's backpacks, put them on the ground and picked them up one by one.

Yu Xi looked confused, "Auntie, what's going on?"

Zhao Xing: "Most of these mushrooms are poisonous. You can't eat them. You might die if you don't eat them."

After hearing this, the three people who might even die were frightened.

Wu Mei: "Is this so exaggerated?"

Jiang Qi: "It's not an exaggeration at all. Some mushrooms can cause hallucinations after eating them. If you don't get treatment in time, your life could be in danger. So, it's best not to eat mushrooms casually.

Also, some mushrooms must be fully cooked before eating, otherwise you may get food poisoning, so you should be careful when eating mushrooms."

Given the current medical conditions, food poisoning is not something to be taken lightly, so Jiang Qi still gave a few reminders.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Are both of you okay?"

Wei Wei: “I think so!”

Liu Aiying also carefully looked through Wei Wei and Jiang Qi's mushrooms. "There's nothing wrong with either of yours. The ones we picked yesterday weren't poisonous either. If you hadn't been clueless when I was teaching you how to identify mushrooms yesterday, I would have thought you two already knew each other!"

Zhao Xing nodded when she heard this. "Indeed, you can learn it after just one lesson. Few people can do that."

Jiang Qi: "We're also very slow! We check each sample one by one, and we only pick up a tiny bit every day."

They couldn't respond to this. After all, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were indeed slow. After a whole day of picking up things, they were still not as good as a child.

Zhao Xing: "It's okay to pick up things slowly, but safety is the most important thing."

Liu Aiying also nodded, "That's indeed the case."

Several people picked at the mushrooms of Wu Mei and the other two. After they finished picking, only half of them were left edible, which made the three of them look wilted.

Seeing the mushrooms that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were drying, the three of them were full of ambition and confidence, at least that was the case until Liu Aiying and the others picked them.

But now, looking at the pitifully few mushrooms in the basket, the three of them felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over their heads, and they all wilted.
