During my escape from famine, I survived by eavesdropping on the whispers of food.

At this moment, the people around saw Qin Shuangshuang return, and she was following behind the group.

When the eldest son saw that Qin Shuangshuang had returned, he was too embarrassed to say anything more and stepped aside.

Seeing this, Qin Shuangshuang reached out her hand and said, "Weren't you quite arrogant at first? Why are you suddenly silent? Why are you running away?"

Qin Shuangshuang's words made the eldest son's face flush slightly, but he replied confidently, "After all, I am your elder. What's wrong with saying a few words to you?"

Besides, your grandparents are already living with me. If you're truly filial, you should bring them back to live with you as soon as possible.

"I can't let him live with me forever, can I? My husband doesn't want him to."

Qin Shuangshuang said excitedly, "You've already called your husbands so quickly, it seems like things are progressing pretty fast!"

"I bet it won't be long before they've almost forgotten they're also a member of the Qin family, right?"

Qin Shuangshuang's words caused the other elders who were watching the show to silently criticize the eldest branch of the family.

After all, she was really dishonest.

Now that her husband is away fighting and hasn't returned yet, she's in a hurry to remarry. Isn't that just cursing her husband to die sooner?

Just then, the eldest son, seeing that he couldn't win the argument, turned and left.

Qin Shuangshuang watched as one soldier after another, carrying baskets on their backs, entered the yamen. The elders around her hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We are very curious. Why would you use so many poisonous mushrooms? Young lady, why don't you explain it to us?"

"Otherwise, we really won't dare to eat tonight."

At this moment, Qin Shuangshuang said to them, "Although those mushrooms are poisonous, they won't be poisonous after passing through my hands. This is our family's exclusive secret recipe."

It's only passed down to daughters, not sons.

Everyone became worried after hearing Qin Shuangshuang's words.

It's unclear whether Qin Shuangshuang's words are true or false.

Qin Shuangshuang skipped and hopped happily back to the yamen, but everyone parted on bad terms.

After Qin Shuangshuang went inside, the people who had been waiting for her at the door came forward one after another.

When Jin Danian saw Qin Shuangshuang and her brothers carrying a basket of mushrooms into the room, Qin Shuangshuang's face lit up with joy.

Jin Danian, however, was worried and said to her, "The officials brought back those mushrooms. Are they all poisonous mushrooms?"

Qin Shuangshuang nodded and assured him, "I had a way to cure the poison of that mushroom before, and I still have a way now. Don't worry, with me here, I won't let anyone's lives be harmed in the slightest."

Jin Danian thought it over and decided that he had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

Then, Jin Danian beckoned to his brothers behind him and said, "Go and finish the rest of the business with Miss Qin."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Before long, Qin Shuangshuang saw that the backyard of the government office was quite large, just right for stewing soup, so she said to Jin Danian, "Let's stew the soup here."

However, at this moment, Qin Shuangshuang suddenly said to them, "No, this place is too small. It seems we can't stay here. Let's go to the long street outside the yamen."

Jin Danian looked on with curiosity and asked, "Miss Qin, are you really going to put those poisonous mushrooms into the pot in front of everyone and not hide your poisoning? Isn't that too direct?"

I think they'll be even more hesitant to eat it then.

Qin Shuangshuang thought that she should first purify the mushrooms in her space. However, she couldn't do much in the kitchen right now, but it would be better to do so on the street.

The space is spacious, making it convenient to carry out one's plans.

At worst, I can cook outside while I wash the mushrooms to remove the toxins myself in the kitchen.

She then instructed Jin Danian, "How about this, you all go outside and wait, and have the people line up outside the gate. After I clean the mushrooms to remove the toxins, they can carry all the cleaned mushrooms out and put them in a pot to stew."

Upon hearing Qin Shuangshuang's instructions, Jin Danian thought it was a good idea, but he was also worried. "But tell me, are you sure you can clean up all the toxins from so many poisonous mushrooms by yourself?"

Why don't you tell everyone about your method and get their help?

Qin Shuangshuang's actions amounted to nothing more than sharing her own personal space.

Isn't he simply handing over his secret weapon for making money in the future?

She didn't have that idea for the time being, and said evasively, "It's not the right time yet. I will tell you when the time is right. Right now, this method can only be used by me. After all, it is an exclusive secret recipe, passed down to women but not men. I hope you won't mind."

Jin Danian smiled. Since Qin Shuangshuang was willing to come and save the people, he naturally agreed to her request. How could he refuse to help the government solve such a big problem?

Nowadays, many government officials are eager for someone to help them through their current difficulties. Now that someone is helping, they are happy to do whatever it takes, as long as there is a glimmer of hope.

After that, Jin Danian followed Qin Shuangshuang's instructions and had the brothers who had carried the mushrooms back go to the kitchen, dump all the mushrooms there, and let Qin Shuangshuang do the work by herself.

However, the constables outside simply took out the mushrooms that Qin Shuangshuang had cleaned of the toxins from and threw them into the already cooked pot.

Then, everything proceeded smoothly and efficiently.

Jin Danian listened to Qin Shuangshuang's words completely. He first had his brothers block off all sides of the long street, leaving a large space for people to queue up, creating a gap in the crowd, a small space for everyone.

This is specifically for making soup, and it also serves as a queue when distributing the mushroom soup.

Qin Shuangshuang kept using her space in the kitchen to clean out all the toxins from the mushrooms and then throw them out. It was really tiring, but fortunately, the space was large enough to allow the mushrooms to quickly remove their toxins.

If the crowds continue to pile up like this, I'm afraid she really won't be able to keep up.

Watching the soldiers carry batch after batch of mushrooms away, Qin Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief. The original plan, which involved having three hundred men collect the snow from the front and back of the houses and then boil it in large vats to turn it into water, was quickly implemented smoothly.

As pot after pot of snow tax was poured into the vat, and basin after basin of cleaned mushrooms were thrown into it, the people gathered on both sides of the field watched with great delight.

Everyone is discussing whether these mushrooms are safe to eat, or what the reaction might be if people eat them.

As Jin Danian watched the crowd grow larger and larger, he turned his head and looked at the yamen with so many people coming and going. He even wondered if everyone could really have a bowl of these mushrooms tonight.

When Qin Shuangshuang was exhausted in the kitchen, and just as she finished cleaning the last basket of mushrooms, she looked out the door and saw the lively scene outside.

At this moment, she supported her exhausted body to the door and carried bowl after bowl of mushroom soup to each person, overjoyed, and sat there thanking Qin Shuangshuang.

Qin Shuangshuang leaned against the door frame with instant relief. Although she was tired, she felt it was all worth it.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, someone at the door shouted, "This mushroom is the most famous poisonous mushroom in our village. Everyone, don't eat it!"

Qin Shuangshuang then heard the sound of bowls shattering.
