Xiao Qingyin: "..."

"Could all the crabs in this stream be here?"

Yi Wu shook his head: "There's more. I don't know how many years it's been since anyone caught them. The whole stream is full of them."

"Too much, not enough for frying."

"We'll have enough oil if we catch a few more wild boars."

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

You guys are really going to great lengths for a bite to eat.

When Yi Wu and the others went to catch wild boar, Xiao Qingyin directed the cook to kill the pheasant and make soup. After the soup was made, they put the washed mushrooms in, placed a stone slab next to the stove, and roasted the wild boar meat, which was cut into thin slices.

Everyone gathered around the pot, eating grilled meat and drinking mushroom soup, enjoying themselves immensely.

Xiao Qingyin was also very satisfied with this dinner.

Although pheasants have little meat and are mostly bones, the soup they make is incredibly flavorful; and there are many kinds of mushrooms, such as porcini, matsutake, bamboo shoots, morels, and saxifrage... so sweet and delicious that you'll want to swallow your tongue.

Guan Hongdou exclaimed sincerely, "This is the most delicious food I've ever eaten!"

She had seen these mushrooms before, but she couldn't tell whether they were poisonous or not, so she didn't dare to eat them.

Now that I've tasted them, I realize how delicious they are.

"I must learn to discern."

Xiao Qingyin nodded: "You absolutely mustn't eat anything indiscriminately, some of them can be fatal."

"Uh-huh!"

Unbeknownst to the two, someone on a distant hilltop was observing their movements with binoculars.

"Your Highness, you saw it, didn't you? They really are eating those colorful mushrooms."

Humanity in the form of followers.

“If we follow the same diet they followed, we’ll be fine.”
