On that day, Su Xiaoxue picked a basket of mushrooms, but she couldn't fill it all, so she asked Xiaofang to help her.

When we got home, it was already dark.

Xiaofang came back with her and helped her put down the mushrooms, and then she went back with the pig grass.

When she arrived at the yard, Su's parents came closer and saw the mushrooms in her backpack on the ground.

"Hey, what did you do? Why are there so many?"

Su's mother walked forward and looked at the mushrooms carefully, and found that there were many that they had not picked before.

She quickly asked, "Xiaoxue, why are some of the mushrooms you picked inedible?"

Su Xiaoxue smiled and said, "No, they are all edible."

She quickly asked her two sisters to get the basket, big lid and other things, and then pour out the mushrooms.

In the dim light, Su's parents looked at the baskets and lids of various kinds of mushrooms with confusion.

Even Su Xiaoxue's two younger sisters were confused.

Erni asked, "Sister, some of the mushrooms you picked are not for us to eat, they are poisonous."

"It's not poisonous. We just don't know it. It's actually not poisonous."

Erni was puzzled.

Xiao Ni was also curious and asked: "Big sister, how do you know it's not poisonous? No one of us ate it before. We only ate this and this."

Xiao Ni said this, pointing to the relatively rare chicken mushroom on the big lid, and the most common white mushroom here.

As for the other red and yellow ones, they looked weird and they seemed like they had never eaten them before.

"I see someone is eating it." Su Xiaoxue replied.

Su's mother was puzzled, "Who do you think is eating it? It seems that no one is eating it here? And look at these things, the colors are different."

What Su's mother was talking about was the plump porcini.

This kind of thing is actually quite common in their mountains, but no one eats it. In their eyes, only the gray or yellow straw mushrooms that grow on straw are edible. As for this kind of fat and big one, it is like a poisonous mushroom in the eyes of others.

Not to mention the red and blue-gray mushrooms in the basket that Su Xiaoxue picked, which looked more like poisonous mushrooms.

Even Father Su advised: "Xiaoxue, could you be mistaken? No one here has ever eaten these."

In the countryside, what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten is passed down bit by bit from the older generation.

However, due to the war and the subsequent famine, many people actually had nothing to eat for a long period of time. The knowledge about wild grasses and vegetables in the countryside that rural children could learn was only from a few elders.

They had indeed never eaten these red and yellow mushrooms.

Su Xiaoxue also knew this. After all, in her previous life, she also thought it was inedible at first. It was not until later when she became a self-employed person and went to another place that she gradually learned about this.

At that time, a friend took them to the mountains to pick mushrooms. There were much more mushrooms there than here. A hilltop would be full of mushrooms within a few days after it rained. Then they ate a whole pot of mushroom soup and fried mushrooms of different varieties and colors at that friend's house.

Later she found out that there are many edible mushrooms in the world.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxue also patiently told them about other mushrooms. Her explanation was similar to what she had told Xiaofang before, that is, someone was selling them.

"Really?" Su's mother asked.

Su Xiaoxue smiled and said, "How can I lie to you? I can't bring back something that is not edible to poison you. Mom and Dad, you have to trust me. We will eat some of the edible ones today, and I plan to dry the rest and sell them to make money."

Seeing this, Su Jianguo and his wife decided to trust their daughter.

Although they were also curious about when she knew all this.

But like she said, she would not harm her family.

So, that night, Su Xiaoxue asked her sister to clean the porcini mushrooms, cut them into slices, add the meat that the Qin family had brought earlier, and stir-fry them in a pan.

As for red mushrooms and other tender mushrooms, boil them in water to make mushroom soup and add some meat.

Even though it's not fully cooked yet, the house is already filled with fragrance.

Xiao Ni smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but run to the kitchen, "Big sister, it smells so good."

Su Xiaoxue smiled and said, "Mm, it smells good! It will taste even better when you eat it later."

"Hey, these mushrooms are really edible!"

"Ah."

While frying, Su Xiaoxue did not forget to tell her sister that the plump one is called porcini, the other red one is called red mushroom, and the bluish-gray one is called blue-headed mushroom, and they are all delicious and edible.

Of course, there are many other mushrooms, and she plans to teach her sister little by little in the future.

Even if there is nothing else to eat, they can go to the mountains to pick mushrooms and eat them themselves or sell them.

"When you go to the mountains with your second sister in the future, don't forget to pick these when you come across them. When the villagers gradually know that they can be eaten and sold, there will be fewer of them."

Xiao Ni nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Okay, big sister, I understand, I'll listen to you."

"Okay, go clear the table and tell mom and dad that we can have dinner."

Today, the family had a dish of water spinach, a plate of stir-fried porcini with meat, and a mushroom soup, which was a super rich meal for a family like theirs.

In addition to these mushrooms, the most important thing is that the Qin family had brought a lot of people to them before.

In the past, the meat was stewed or added to brine to make braised meat, but they gave a lot and my family couldn’t bear to eat it all at once, so some of it was pickled in a jar with salt and was only taken out now.

Smelling the delicious aroma of the food, the whole family felt very hungry.

When Su Xiaoxue served the last dish, she asked the family, "How is it? Does it smell good?"

Xiao Ni nodded quickly.

Su's mother smiled and said, "This is added with meat. Everything with pork will taste good!"

But she still picked up the chopsticks and said, "Let me try it. Is it really that delicious?"

Su Xiaoxue watched her mother pick up a piece of porcini and wait for her to eat it.

The two younger sisters were serving the rice and quickly placed it in front of their parents.

Father Su also said, "Let me try it too, to see what this delicious thing you praised tastes like."

Su Xiaoxue smiled and nodded, "You guys try it."

At this moment, Su's mother had already tasted a piece, and in just a moment, her eyes lit up.

Su Xiaoxue had been paying attention to her mother's situation. Seeing this, she smiled and asked, "Mom, does it taste good?"

Mother Su felt that she had spoken too loudly just now. She nodded and had to admit that the mushrooms were delicious.

"This is some kind of cow dung mushroom, it tastes pretty good!"

Seeing this, Father Su also reached out his chopsticks to pick up some, "Let me try it too."

Su Xiaoxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and corrected her: "Mom, this is called Boletus, not Cow Shit Mushroom, don't call it the wrong name."

Mother Su smiled and said, "They are almost the same, all the same."

Seeing that their mother said it was delicious, the two younger sisters hurried to taste it.

Again, everyone praised it for being delicious.

Seeing them eating happily, Su Xiaoxue felt extremely satisfied, "Is it as delicious as I said?"

The whole family nodded.

Father Su saw this and said, "Since this is delicious, you can send some to Qin Chi's house tomorrow. It just so happens that you have been to their house before, so do you know how to get there?"

Hearing what Father Su said, Su Xiaoxue nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go pick more tomorrow and send some to his family then."
