Chapter 12 Cassava is delicious
Shen Wanning looked at the time on her mobile phone in the express station. In about twenty minutes, the cassava was cooked.
"Okay, sister-in-law, it's almost done. The cassava should be ready to eat." He turned and instructed Lin Hu, who was squatting on the side watching the chicken soup, "Go call grandpa and grandma out to eat."
"But...what if the cassava is poisonous? Who will eat it first?" Xu hesitated, still not daring to believe Shen Wanning.
Lin Hu didn't care. He just wanted to drink chicken soup and eat meat, so he ran out of the kitchen like a flash.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, third uncle, mom and dad, come out for dinner!" Lin Hu shouted as he ran.
On the other side, the two boys had already set up the tables and chairs and were standing aside waiting for them to come out.
Shen Wanning just reached out to grab the steamer, but she was so burned that she quickly let go and pinched her earlobes tightly with both hands.
"Hey, be careful, let me do it!" Lin Jingyou walked in, picked up the rag, took the steamer out and put it on the table.
Aunt Zhang went into the kitchen, took out a large bowl, filled it halfway with chicken soup, and even counted the chicken to make sure there were eleven pieces of meat, enough for each person. After thinking for a moment, she put two chicken legs in as well.
The chicken soup was served on the table. Aunt Zhang put a piece of chicken in each person's bowl, scooped a small spoonful of soup, and finally took out the boiling water from the inner pot and filled the bowl with soup.
Shen Wanning was speechless watching this operation, but she could also understand that it was not easy to drink a bowl of chicken soup in a famine year.
The boys stared at the last two big chicken legs, but Aunt Zhang put one in Wen's bowl and the other in Shen Wanning's bowl.
"Alright, let's eat! Wen is pregnant now, so she can have an extra chicken leg. This chicken was obtained by Wan Ning, so she should have an extra chicken leg too. Is that okay with everyone?"
Lin Hu was the younger one after all, so he was the first to pick up the bowl and start drinking the chicken soup. The heat made him shiver. He blew on it again and again, unwilling to spit it out.
Shen Wanning didn't really like chicken. She wanted to put the drumstick in Aunt Zhang's bowl, but she was afraid that Mrs. Wen would think too much. After thinking it over, she put the drumstick in Lin Jingyou's bowl.
"Third brother, you've worked hard studying, so eat more. Besides, I don't like chicken, so you guys eat it. I'll just eat cassava." After saying that, he put the remaining piece of chicken into Aunt Zhang's bowl.
Aunt Zhang wanted to return the meat to her, but Shen Wanning stopped her. "Godmother works hard for this family day and night. Only when Godmother is healthy can we enjoy a better life. I also want to eat more meals cooked by Godmother in the future!"
Lin Jingyou looked at Shen Wanning deeply, but didn't say anything, nor did he return the chicken leg to her. Well, this chicken leg was given to him by his sister personally, and only he could eat it. He couldn't bear to give it to anyone else.
Aunt Zhang was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. She kept shouting, "Oh, my daughter is so thoughtful after all. I won't be polite to you anymore."
After saying that, they started to eat the chicken. Before they finished exchanging greetings, the boys had already licked their bowls clean and their eyes were fixed on the cassava in the steamer.
"Auntie, can this cassava really be eaten? Will I foam at the mouth like Goudan if I eat it?" Lin He held the chopsticks, wanting to pick up some cassava but not daring to.
Shen Wanning knew they were worried and took the initiative to pick up a piece of cassava and put it in her mouth. Lin Jingyou stopped her chopsticks and picked up a piece of cassava and put it in his mouth as if it was natural.
"I'm a man, and I'm stronger. Even if I'm poisoned, my symptoms should be milder."
Aunt Zhang was horrified and stood up, then immediately sat down again. She instructed Mrs. Xu who was standing beside her, "Quickly get some raw mung beans. Even if it's poisonous, eating them will induce vomiting immediately."
Lin Jingyou smiled faintly, "Don't worry too much, mother. I believe Sister Wan Ning won't harm us. Besides, this cassava is soft, sweet, and has no strange smell. I think it is indeed edible."
Everyone else had finished eating the chicken and drinking the chicken soup. Mrs. Xu had washed all the bowls, but Aunt Zhang and the others were still staring at Lin Jingyou nervously.
"How are you, third brother? Are you feeling unwell?" Aunt Zhang felt relieved when she saw Lin Jingyou's relaxed expression.
They remembered that Goudan fell to the ground due to poisoning shortly after eating cassava, and Lin Jingyou had been eating cassava for quite some time, so he must be safe.
Shen Wanning already knew the result, so she wasn't worried at all. Instead, she focused her attention on the express delivery station and chatted with netizens.
Little Glutinous Rice: Ahhh, I got it, I got it! He is indeed my son-in-law, willing to test the poison for my daughter first!
Yunfu: These two are a perfect match, lock it down! I won't allow anyone to ruin their relationship!
Shen Wanning: I think you guys are overthinking it. He just treats me like a sister. After all, I just gave him a big chicken drumstick!
Sweetheart: Hahahaha, I'm finally waiting for the girl to slap me in the face, so let's make this slapping harder! Eat all the cassava!
Lin Jingyou shook his head. "It's okay, Mom. It seems that this cassava is indeed edible. But we can't take it lightly. We can eat a small amount today. If everything is fine tomorrow, this cassava can be a good food crop."
Lin He cheered and grabbed some cassava from the steamer and stuffed it into his mouth. His mouth was full and he kept muttering, "Hmm, it's really delicious, sticky and sweet, much better than brown rice and millet."
He finished it in one bite and started grabbing more.
Lin Jiang was older and knew how to use chopsticks, but Lin Hu followed Lin He's example and ate directly with his hands.
Xu smiled and shook her head, then went to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks. The family sat together to eat cassava, and they usually stopped eating when they were half full. Only Lin He was greedy and ate until his belly was bulging.
After the meal, the family sat in the yard to rest for a while, in case anyone felt unwell after eating cassava.
"Mom, now that we've confirmed that this thing called cassava is edible, shouldn't we tell the village head? That way, all the villagers can go to the woods to dig cassava, and everyone won't have to live so hard." Lin Jingcheng suggested.
Lin Dashan lay on a recliner, smoking a pipe leisurely. "The headman may not believe what we say. Why not ask him to come in person tomorrow? He will believe it when he sees it."
Lin Jingyou nodded in agreement. "Let's invite a few more people tomorrow so they can serve as witnesses. Besides telling them that cassava is edible, we also need to tell them how to process it. But this will make Sister Wan Ning suffer."
After saying that, Lin Jingyou turned his head to look at Shen Wanning. Shen Wanning, who was originally chatting with netizens, was caught off guard when she heard her own name. She turned her head, her eyes wide open, a little confused, and a little cute.
"Ah? What did Third Brother just say? I didn't hear clearly."
