At dawn, the three of them returned home loaded with bamboo baskets.

Wang was quite happy at first, but when she saw her picking a basket of poisonous mushrooms and acorns that no one wanted, her face turned dark.

"Brother and sister, these are poisonous mushrooms and you cannot eat them."

"Work hard day by day!"

"If you don't understand, just read more and ask more questions. Pick what others pick, and don't touch what others don't pick."

"You made the bamboo basket full of poison, how can you use it?"

Yang came out and scolded: "I just listened to you yelling nonsense so early in the morning. Can I choke you to death if I can't talk for a day?"

"Hmph, just be partial. It depends on how long you will be partial."

"If I don't talk about her, you'll be waiting to eat poisonous mushrooms!" Mrs. Wang entered the room angrily.

After Mrs. Wang left, Mrs. Yang immediately changed her expression and looked amiable: "Fourth family member, it's okay. Don't listen to your second sister-in-law's nonsense."

"Next time when you go up the mountain, go with your mother. Which ones are poisonous and which ones are not? You will know how to do it as soon as your mother teaches you."

"Mom, I know this mushroom is poisonous, but it is edible and very delicious."

"My mother's family is in the medicinal materials business. I went to Jinling City before, and this stuff sold for a sky-high price of two hundred coins per catty in Jinling City."

"Why are these poisonous mushrooms so expensive?"

"Things are rare and valuable. These things are everywhere in our mountains and plains, but they are not available in Jinling City, so they are naturally expensive."

"People in Jinling are not afraid of being poisoned?" Yang said with a look of shock.

"Everyone is afraid of poisoning, but this kind of mushroom is poisonous when eaten raw, but it is no longer poisonous when cooked."

"I've eaten it before. It's very delicious."

"But not all poisonous mushrooms can be eaten when cooked. Only this kind. Don't dare to eat other poisonous mushrooms."

Lin Shuangshuang cautioned, lest Yang think that all poisonous mushrooms are no longer poisonous after being cooked.

Yang was dubious: "Shuangshuang, you must have admitted your mistake."

"These mushrooms are inedible. Two years ago, Lao Yang's family made a pot of mushroom stewed chicken, using this kind of mushroom. The chicken is already cooked. Can the mushrooms be cooked?"

"But the whole family was still poisoned and almost died."

"Listen to mother's advice, let's dump all these mushrooms."

"If you want to eat mushrooms, Mom will pick them for you and eat them without poison."

Lin Shuangshuang guarded his basket of mushrooms to prevent Yang from dumping it.

"Mom, you believe me, I won't say nonsense if I'm not sure."

"The mushrooms need to be stewed for at least half an hour before they are fully cooked. The reason why Lao Yang's family was poisoned must not have been stewed for enough time."

"I'll cook it in a while, and you'll know how delicious it is."

Lin Shuangshuang said, washed the mushrooms and then sliced ​​them.

Yang looked at the sliced ​​mushroom and instantly turned dark green, becoming more and more certain that the mushroom was highly poisonous.

But Lin Shuangshuang didn't listen and insisted on cooking.

While the mushrooms were cooking, Lin Shuangshuang went to clean a pair of haggis, and after the mushrooms were cooked, they could stir-fry them together.

"Mom, it will be fried later. I'll eat the mushrooms first. If it's okay after I eat them, you can eat them later."

"No matter what, you can't eat it."

"It's okay. I'll prepare the antidote for myself in advance. If it's really poisonous, I'll take the antidote immediately. Is that okay?"

Yang had no choice but to let her do whatever she wanted.

"What are you doing picking up these acorns?"

"I'm going to feed the pigs with acorns. People in Jinling all feed pigs with acorns. Pigs in the city don't eat feces. Pork tastes better than mutton."

Lin Shuangshuang said, "I am a person who has seen the world!" !

There was no way, she had to say it very definitely in order to be convincing.

Yang sighed: "We don't have any pigs."

"It will be available soon. I bought two piglets, one male and one female, from Aunt Guiying's house. They will be delivered when the full moon comes."

"So let's prepare more acorns and pigweed, and try to eat fat pork during the Chinese New Year."

Yang was surprised: "When did you buy it?"

"I bought it on the day the sow gave birth. All the money was given to Aunt Guiying."

"The piglet needs to be fed before the full moon, so it will be kept at Aunt Guiying's house."

Yang was overjoyed: "Can this thing really be fed to pigs?"

"Mom, why don't you believe anything I say?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's that I've never heard of it..."

"Hahaha, you city girls know better. You say you can eat the smelly sheep semen, you say you can eat poisonous mushrooms, you even say you can eat acorns that no one wants..."

"If these things can really be eaten, then our family will not have to worry about food and drink."

Lin Shuangshuang looked at Yang's happy look and said, "Mom, please don't tell anyone about the poisonous mushrooms and acorns."

"I definitely won't say it. It's not yet clear whether mushrooms are edible. Doesn't it mean I'm harming others by saying nonsense?"

"Even if it's confirmed, you can't say it."

Yang laughed and said, "Don't tell me, don't tell me. If this gets out, everyone will go to the mountains to pick it, and nothing will happen to our family."

"..."

"Mom, I'm not afraid that someone will rob us. I'm afraid that we will get into trouble."

"After all, this mushroom is poisonous. Even if you tell people to cook it for half an hour before eating it, not everyone will follow it."

"What if someone doesn't believe it and gets poisoned by cooking it casually, wouldn't he come to our house to cause trouble?"

"We won't be able to explain why we are justified at that time. Losing money is a small matter, but poisoning people is a big deal..."

"You will also tell your two sisters-in-law in a moment not to tell anyone else."

Yang's heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, her daughter-in-law warned her, otherwise she would have been in big trouble.

"As for the acorns, don't talk to anyone about it. It's better to have less to worry about than to have more to worry about."

"When we finish feeding the pigs with acorns, people will naturally come to ask. Then we will tell them..."

"But even if they knew that acorns could be fed to pigs, they would probably be afraid of trouble..."

"The shell of acorns is hard and bitter, so pigs won't eat it. You have to peel off the shell of acorns, soak them in water for ten days, and finally cook them before pigs are willing to eat them."

Yang frowned, why is it so troublesome?

Let alone others, even when she heard about such a complicated process, she felt that it would be easier to let the pigs eat feces.

"I'm going to wash the black vegetables and make pancakes to eat later. That poisonous mushroom of yours is probably inedible."

As Yang said this, he picked up a basket of Wuta vegetables and prepared to wash them.

"Mom, that's not food." Lin Shuangshuang quickly stopped her.

Mrs. Yang was a little confused. The wife here is really strange. Poisonous mushrooms can be eaten, but black vegetables cannot be eaten?

"Why can't you eat this?"

"Mom, I plan to save some seeds to grow black vegetables."

Yang laughed loudly when he heard this: "You silly boy, you have never farmed before."

"I've never heard of anyone growing wild vegetables."

"Besides, even if you can plant it, you can't plant it in this season."

"It will get cold in a while, and weeds won't grow in the dead of winter, let alone growing vegetables."

"If we could grow vegetables in winter, we farmers would have done it long ago. No one would be willing to leave the land empty."

Lin Shuangshuang smiled: "Mom, our land is empty anyway, so just let me try everything."

"If we can plant it, our family will not be short of food to eat. If we don't plant it, we won't lose anything."
