Song Yanyan felt particularly aggrieved when she heard this, as if Jiang Xia was deliberately targeting her. She blinked, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"It's good that you studied medicine, but you may not know as much as I do about this in the wild. My major is wild animals and plants. This mushroom is edible!"
Hearing what Song Yanyan said, several educated youth who had just been rescued from the pit also came forward to take a look at the mushrooms picked by Song Yanyan.
"I recognize it, and this mushroom is edible. I used to pick it often. It's just the common Agaricus bisporus, and it's very fresh." The educated youth spoke up.
"She majored in wild botany, so she must know something about it, female comrade. That's where you're wrong. You're making things difficult for her and judging her expertise with a field you don't understand." Another educated youth also nodded and helped Song Yanyan to judge the matter.
Song Yanyan wiped her tears, blinked and looked at Lu Yuanting.
"Don't eat things you are not familiar with in the wild." Lu Yuanting said. He glanced at the mushrooms in Song Yanyan's hand and quickly looked away. He took the lead and led everyone down the mountain.
After hearing what Lu Yuanting said, the educated youth who were rescued felt that Lu Yuanting was a little too unkind, and hurriedly comforted Song Yanyan, saying that they would cook with her later so as not to waste her labor.
Jiang Xia listened to what was said over the past few days and didn't interrupt. She had been studying with Su Zhongshu since she was a child, and had identified various herbs in the mountains. She was also familiar with the plants in the mountains. She had picked this mushroom before.
It looks not much different from the common edible flat mushroom, but if you look closely, you can see that the umbrella-shaped edge of this mushroom is darker in color and has some dark lines, so it is poisonous.
However, this toxin is not big, but not small either. If you eat it, you will have diarrhea and fart, and the symptoms will last for about half a day. It is a very uncomfortable and embarrassing poison.
After everyone arrived at the camp, the rice on the fire was already cooked. Lu Yuanting and everyone else cleaned the hunted wild rabbit neatly, cut it into pieces, and put it in the pot to cook. After adding a lot of seasonings, the rice was bubbling with fragrance.
The rescued educated youth and Song Yanyan washed the mushrooms themselves and asked for two rabbits to stew them themselves.
Song Yanyan threw the mushrooms into the pot and cooked them with the rabbit meat.
"It smells so good." One of the female educated youth took a small bowl and picked up the rabbit meat and mushrooms from the pot. She tasted the mushrooms stewed with rabbit meat. The fresh fragrance of the mushrooms spread on the tip of her tongue, and her eyes lit up.
After listening to the words of the female educated youth, several people nearby also picked up the rabbit meat and mushrooms from the pot to taste them, and nodded.
"Delicious! This mushroom is more fragrant than meat. Fortunately, we did not listen to the advice and threw away the mushroom. It would have been such a pity to throw it away." Another educated youth nodded and spoke.
Song Yanyan curled the corners of her lips when she heard that. She looked at Jiang Xia with a bit of smugness and boasting, feeling that she had slapped Jiang Xia in the face.
"Sister Xia Xia, Brother Lu, and everyone in the army, would you like to try some? You've seen it too. We ate it and it was fine and not poisonous. It's just an edible mushroom, very fresh. Just cook it in soup. We have a lot here. I picked the portion for us to eat together."
As soon as Song Yanyan said this, some people began to feel greedy. The rabbit meat stewed with mushrooms did smell better than ordinary ones and looked very fresh and fragrant.
But they were on a mission and had to listen to their superiors in everything. Since Lu Yuanting had spoken before, they were told not to touch it.
