In the years of famine, in troubled times, the koi sweet wife is omnipotent

"Mom! Don't."

Xia Wanwan quickly went over and snatched the mushroom from Tang Guifang's hand.

"Wanwan! This mushroom is poisonous. Eating it can kill you. Even if we're starving and have nothing to eat, we can't eat this stuff."

When Tang Guifang saw her come back, she hurried to explain to her.

Xia Wanwan held the mushrooms like treasures and said hurriedly, "Mom! I picked them all myself. I guarantee they are non-toxic..."

After a dispute, Tang Guifang was unable to say anything to her and could only watch her being fried in the pan.

"Did you really fry this mushroom?"

Gu Huaijin was sitting at the table. When she saw the fried porcini mushrooms, she remembered that she had brought back a basket of mushrooms.

I wanted to ask her to throw it away, but because I was worried about whether she was hurt, I forgot about it.

"Mom! We can't eat this. If we eat it, our family of five will become a pile of dirt."

The lively Gu Ankang also reminded Xia Wanwan not to eat the mushrooms when he saw them for the first time.

"Puff~"

When Xia Wanwan heard his words, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Who told you not to eat it? If you still eat it, it will turn into a pile of dirt."

This child speaks so cutely!

Gu Ankang blinked his clear eyes and said innocently, "That's what everyone says. We've been told since we were little that we can't eat mushrooms from the mountains. If we eat them, we'll end up like the four members of the Chen family in the next village, turning into a pile of dirt on the mountain."

"..."

Ok!

So this is how adults taught them.

But the teaching is really good, so the children don’t dare to eat it anymore.

There are many kinds of mushrooms. Adults sometimes can't tell which ones are edible and which ones are not, and children are even more unable to tell the difference.

So it’s a good thing to have this awareness.

Xia Wanwan rubbed his head lovingly and said with a smile, "Yes, mushrooms are poisonous. If you eat them, you will turn into a pile of dirt on the mountain. But these mushrooms are picked by mother, so you can eat them without worry, because mother can tell which ones are poisonous and which ones are not."

"Can you really tell which mushrooms are poisonous and which are not?"

For the sake of everyone's life, Gu Huaijin had to confirm it again.

He could tell from her sincere eyes that she was not lying.

Moreover, she has changed so much in the past two days that she even knows medical skills. I believe that identifying poisonous mushrooms should not be a problem for her.

"Eat it with confidence! If you don't believe me, I'll eat it first and show you."

As Xia Wanwan said this, she took a big bite of mushroom and stuffed it into her mouth, then took a mouthful of rice and ate it together.

The crispy, refreshing and delicious taste instantly whets your appetite.

“That’s the taste. It’s so delicious. So good.”

Xia Wanwan ate with a look of enjoyment on her face, and she was so happy in her heart.

When she was in the army, there was a soldier from the south who was discharged and returned home. Because she had been his instructor, the soldier admired her very much, so after returning to the south, he sent her a large box of mushrooms.

At that time, she didn't dare to cook it, but she heard that southern mushrooms were delicious, so she made it according to the recipe.

From then on, I fell in love with mushrooms and couldn't help myself.

Every time the rainy season came, she would give money to the soldier and ask him to help send some over.

I never thought that now she can go find mushrooms to eat by herself.

Seeing her eating so happily, everyone swallowed their saliva from time to time.

I wanted to eat it but I didn’t dare to pick it up, so I could only eat the cold-mixed watercress on the table.

"By the way, bring a bowl over to Baozhu and the others later, and then get some fresh mushrooms for her and the neighbors. As for the method of making it, I'll tell you later, and then you can tell them."

Xia Wanwan gave instructions while eating.

Everyone: "..."

Even your own family doesn’t dare to eat it, and you dare to give it to your neighbors.

Aren’t you afraid that people will say you framed them?

"Eat it quickly! It won't kill you."

Seeing that no one dared to pick up some mushrooms, Xia Wanwan picked up some mushrooms and put them in Gu Huaijin's bowl.

After stir-frying the mushrooms, she added water and boiled them for about ten minutes, waiting until they were thoroughly cooked before removing them from the pot.

This way you can eat it with confidence.

"As for you children, you must eat less, not more."

Children's body functions are different from adults, so they cannot be allowed to eat too much.

Gu Huaijin was helpless, and after hearing her say it was non-toxic again, he could only pick up the mushrooms and put them into his mouth with trembling hands.

As a result, as soon as I tasted it, I fell in love with the taste of mushrooms, just like Xia Wanwan.

"Mm! It's delicious." Gu Huaijin nodded repeatedly and offered some to Tang Guifang. "Mom! You should try it too. It's really delicious. And the kids, you should have some too."

With his joining, the three children became bolder and picked up mushrooms to taste.

The end result was that one plate of mushrooms was not enough to eat because they went so well with rice.

"Mom! What kind of egg is that? It's so big!"

After dinner, Gu Xinyao saw the snake eggs placed in the corner and asked Xia Wanwan curiously.

At this time, Dahong saw that Gu Xinyao was going to hug its sister, and was afraid that Xia Wanwan would eat it as ordinary scrambled eggs, so he moved her wrist nervously.

Xia Wanwan sensed Dahong's mood and reached out to comfort her gently. She then brought the three children to the snake egg and carefully warned them, "You can't eat this egg. Remember not to disturb it, understand?"

"why?"

The three children looked up at her, all with puzzled expressions.

"Aren't eggs meant to be eaten? Or to hatch chicks, ducks, and geese? But we've never seen an egg this big. Could it be laid by a monster?"

Gu Ankang said seriously, but he was a little scared in his heart.

Xia Wanwan didn't know how to explain to them. If she said they were snake eggs, not only would it scare the children, but she was also afraid that she wouldn't be able to get past Gu Huaijin and her mother-in-law.

They will definitely throw away the snake eggs first.

Dahong would definitely be furious, after all, she is someone else's precious sister.

"Anyway, none of you can touch this egg, understand?"

Xia Wanwan rolled her eyes excitedly, then smiled and said, "There's a cute little baby inside this egg. When it hatches, you can play with it."

For the time being, find an excuse to get away. Waiting for the baby snake to hatch is already a thing of the future.

As for the future, let’s talk about it in the future.

"really?"

"Great, we have friends now."

The three children were very happy to hear this. They couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the snake eggs, and then left happily.

"Whoo~"

When Xia Wanwan saw the child leave, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom! Huaijin! I'm going to town to buy some things now, so I might be back late."

After Xia Wanwan distributed the mushrooms to everyone and explained how to fry them, she carried the basket and prepared to go out again.

Tang Guifang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. "No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. There's a wolf pack ten kilometers away. Let Huaijin call a few villagers to go together. It'll be safer that way."

"Yes, I'll go get some villagers."

Gu Huaijin was worried about her going to the town alone, so he went to call the villagers.

Xia Wanwan held him back and whispered, "No, I can go alone. Besides, don't you still have to make the wardrobe? You'll be back at the barracks tomorrow. After you finish the wardrobe, you can play with the children for a while."

"No, I can't let you go alone. Even if I don't go, I have to ask a few villagers to come with me."

Gu Huaijin refused to let her go to town alone no matter what.

"Really, no need. The villagers are all busy with farm work right now. They don't have time to go shopping with me. And don't forget that I know some medical skills and what can scare off wolves, so you don't have to worry about my safety."

Xia Wanwan said she could do it alone.

In the future, she will go to the town frequently to do business, and it will be impossible for her to bring several villagers with her every time.

She has time, others don't.

Even if there were wolves surrounding her, there was nothing to be afraid of now.

In this world, Dahong can scare away all animals.

With it, you don't need to worry about this problem.

"It's getting late. I have to leave quickly, otherwise I won't be able to get back before dark."

Xia Wanwan said this, waved to them, and left with the backpack on her back.

"Huai Jin! You're just going to let Wan Wan go alone? Aren't you worried at all?"

Tang Guifang was really worried about Xia Wanwan's safety, and wanted to push Gu Huaijin to go with her.

"It's okay. I believe her. Since she said she has a way to scare off the wolves, then she really has a way. We don't need to be too suspicious and worried."

Although Gu Huaijin said this, he was still worried in his heart.

Unfortunately, he had asked all his subordinates to investigate the matter in the mountains, so he couldn't send anyone to follow and protect her at this moment.

In addition, she is now very vigilant, and rashly sending people to protect her will only arouse suspicion.

"It's difficult to travel in mountainous areas without roads. Once I make some money, I have to take my family out to develop. I can't make more money if I stay in the village."

After Xia Wanwan had been walking for half an hour, she couldn't help but complain.

"Master! I can take you wherever you want to go quickly."

Seeing how tired she was from walking, Dahong immediately jumped off her wrist and onto the ground, then transformed back into her original form.

"Big Red! You don't want me to ride on you, do you?"

When Xia Wanwan saw it turn back into its original form, she immediately understood what it meant.

"um, yes."

The big red chicken nodded as if pecking at rice, lowered its body and shook itself.

"Come up, Master!"

"Is this... okay?"

Xia Wanwan took a quick step and easily jumped onto Dahong's back.

As soon as I hugged its neck with both hands, Dahong whooshed forward.

It was so fast that it was almost as fast as riding a horse.

"Master! How is it? Is it much better than walking?"

Dahong was very confident in his speed and asked Xia Wanwan proudly.

"It's much better, but could you please go a little slower?"

Xia Wanwan felt that the lunch she had just eaten was about to be shaken out.

It's really uncomfortable to be swaying left and right.

Others rode horses and carriages.

What about her?

Riding a snake?

At her walking speed, it would take her about three hours to reach the town, but with Dahong's help, she only needed an hour and a half to get there.

"Ugh~"

"Ugh~"

As soon as Xia Wanwan got off the snake's back, she ran to the grass nearby and vomited continuously.

This is worse than motion sickness.

She would not ride the snake again unless she was in a hurry.

孽 孽!

Seeing that she was in so much pain, Dahong felt a little guilty, so he quietly put it back on her wrist and turned it into a bracelet.

After vomiting for a while, Xia Wanwan finally felt much better.

Just as she was about to walk up the last section of the road to the town, she turned around and a sharp knife was placed on her neck.

"Don't move. Leave all the valuables on you behind, or I'll kill you."

Several big men blocked Xia Wanwan's way, and each of them looked ferocious.

Xia Wanwan: “…”

No way!

Are we encountering bandits who are trying to rob us?

Is my luck so bad?
