Clean the pot, pour two scoops of water into it, cover the pot, and keep it warm over the remaining fire.

Qingzhu set the table and prepared the food, waiting for Tan to come in before starting to eat.

Tan came in from outside and said with a smile, "I smelled the fragrance in the main hall, and it really made me hungry."

"Mom, come and have dinner and try my little sister's cooking."

"Mom, come quickly. My little sister fried the dishes with oil today. How can it not be delicious?"

Qingzhu and Qingyu were talking to each other about promoting Qingning's craftsmanship.

"Okay, okay, try the craftsmanship of my lemon."

Tan chuckled and sat down without any hesitation, and several people followed suit.

Tan picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of water celery fried in chicken oil.

It is full of fragrance and rich chicken fat in the mouth, with a smooth and soft taste not as greasy as lard. The water celery is fresh, tender and crisp, which is truly delicious.

Tan's eyes lit up involuntarily. This tasted so good.

I took another sip of the wine and the grass head. The white wine not only locked in the fresh fragrance of the grass head, but also added a layer of rich and attractive wine aroma, which was very memorable.

For seasoning, only a pinch of salt is added to keep the dish simple and authentic.

The four people looked at Tan and saw that she was first surprised and then intoxicated.

Qingyu couldn't wait to pick up a piece of water celery with chopsticks. The fragrance spread after it entered her mouth, and it seemed a little unreal for a moment.

"Mmm~ Delicious, delicious, really delicious. I've never eaten such delicious food before."

As he spoke, he did not forget to greet the others: "Second brother, second sister, little sister, come and eat."

Seeing this, the others also quickly put down their chopsticks.

[Well, it tastes really good. Pheasant oil is more fragrant than domesticated ones. These pure natural vegetables are really fresh and tender, and pollution-free.]

Qing Ning finished half a bowl of brown rice without realizing it, and no longer felt that the brown rice was rough and difficult to chew.

"My little sister's cooking skills are so good that she's qualified to be a chef in a big restaurant." Qingwu praised.

"Second brother, have you ever eaten in a big restaurant?" Second sister Qingzhu asked jokingly.

"Hey, I haven't eaten it, but I think if the chefs in big restaurants don't have this kind of skills, who would go to eat there?"

"Yeah, yeah, I think so too." Qingyu had exactly the same idea as his elder brother.

"Honestly, my little sister's cooking skills are really good. This is the most delicious dish I have ever eaten."

The second sister Qingzhu definitely approved of her younger sister's craftsmanship.

"It's good. It tastes better than those chefs in this village." Tan also praised it.

In a short while, both plates of dishes were finished. Qingyu even drank the soup and ate up all the rice in the bowl.

Everyone was satisfied with the meal and some were still reluctant to leave.

"It would be nice if we could catch wild game every day."

Tan smiled helplessly and said, "They can catch wild game every day. Do you think everyone in that forest is stupid?"

"That's right, it's really stupid. It's not our turn either."

Qingwu continued what Tan said.

Qingyu whispered, "I'm just thinking about it!"

"Fourth brother, we have black fungus chicken soup tonight."

After Qingning said this, Qingyu immediately became happy again.

After dinner and cleaning up the kitchen, Qing Ning thought about the tender bamboo shoots she had picked up today.

"Mom, how much salt is left at home?"

Mrs. Tan didn't know what she was planning, so she replied, "We still have a small jar of coarse salt at home. We bought it in town before the New Year. What are you going to do?"

"Mom, I want to make pickled bamboo shoots."

Qing Ning wondered how much could be made from such a small jar of salt?

We have to keep salt at home, but salt is expensive and we are so poor.

"Pickled bamboo shoots? Do you use a lot of salt? I guess we don't have enough salt at home." Tan didn't know what pickled bamboo shoots were, but she intuitively felt that they should use a lot of salt.

"Well, I'll make a small jar of it first. It will be ready to eat overnight. You can all try it then."

Qingzhu was full of confidence, but he also knew that his conditions were limited, so he planned to make some for his family to try.

"I thought, if it tastes good, I'll sell it and make some money."

Mrs. Tan was stunned. She felt that her youngest daughter had learned a lot of new things after her illness.

After hesitating for a while, Tan said, "Salt is precious. You can't waste it. If you really want to make that thing, use less."

Qing Ning knew that she was reluctant to part with it and was also aware that she was worried, but she still made a serious promise and said that she would never waste it.

Seeing that Tan was worried, Qingyu leaned over to her ear and said, "Mom, my little sister said that when she was sick, she went to the place where the gods lived and saw and learned a lot. Don't worry, Mom, she won't do anything rash."

After hearing this, Tan looked at Qing Ning.

There was heartache and relief in his eyes.

[I'm afraid the gods in heaven took pity on this child and appeared to him when he was seriously ill. I'll definitely pray more at Fuyuan Temple next time I go.]

Qingyu's voice was actually not small, and several people could hear it.

Qing Ning didn't say much. Perhaps this was the best reason for the unreasonable things in the future.

Qing Ning found the salt shaker and looked at it, then sighed, "Oh! My family is so poor!"

I wanted to ask about the food here: "Mom, do we eat mushrooms or something?"

"Mushrooms, we eat them sparingly, and we basically don't eat them. The black fungus you picked today is edible, but we sell it to wealthy families. It's a scarce commodity."

Tan paused for a moment and continued, "There's another reason. It's mainly because the harvests were bad in the past few years. The villagers had nothing to eat, so they went up the mountain to look for food. Some mushrooms look attractive, but they are poisonous."

"Ah~" he sighed and said

"Who would have thought so much? It was good enough to have something to eat. But after eating it, some people started having diarrhea and vomiting, and some even had hallucinations. Many people left the village during that time."

Thinking of those days in the past, Tan couldn't help but sigh.

"Perhaps it was the gods' blessing. That year, Mr. Ma and his team passed by our village and treated the poisoned people in the village for free. Since then, the villagers have not dared to eat mushrooms carelessly."

Everyone was silent for a moment. Qingyu, Qingzhu and Qingning had no impression of the matter, but Qingwu had a vague impression of it.

This is understandable. Nowadays, only old farmers in the mountains and villagers who have been dealing with it for many years know it.

Moreover, the medical conditions are very complete, and if you occasionally get sick from eating something, you can get timely treatment.

But we are not talking about seeing a doctor here. If you don’t have enough to eat, then you won’t get sick if you can avoid it. Let alone looking for illness.
