Chapter 24: Mushrooms, Cooking
After the copy was over, Suning returned home feeling relieved and ready to enjoy some leisure time.
Just as she was about to lie down comfortably, a rapid knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
"Knock, knock, knock!" The sound was so urgent that Suning couldn't help but frown.
She got up impatiently and went to open the door. As soon as she opened it, she saw Zhang Li standing outside arrogantly.
"What's going on?" Su Ning asked coldly, not knowing what Zhang Li was going to do.
Zhang Li looked Suning up and down, trying to find any signs of Suning's embarrassment, but Suning didn't seem to be affected too much, which disappointed her.
The second copy Zhang Li participated in was called "Wild Jungle", and the player only had to survive in the wild for seven days.
In this dungeon, not only did she and her family survive unscathed thanks to her talent, but they also gained a lot.
This time, she brought some things with her specifically because she wanted to show off in front of Suning.
"Suning, don't you have a job in the shelter? There's nothing to show off about. In today's world, food is the most precious thing." Zhang Li thought to herself.
Then, she pulled out a basket from behind her back, handed it to Suning, and said proudly, "My family and I found a lot of mushrooms in the dungeon, and we came to ask if you need any."
Although she was showing off, Zhang Li's expression at the moment did not show any intention of giving the mushroom in her hand to Suning.
Suning glanced at the gray-looking mushrooms in Zhang Li's basket.
The data shows.
[Chongchong Mushroom]: A type of mushroom that is home to insects. The presence of a chrysanthemum indicates the presence of numerous insect eggs and trace amounts of toxins. Accidentally ingesting it, while not fatal, can cause severe diarrhea. (Note: Deworming drugs are the nemesis of chrysanthemum mushrooms!)
Suning had seen this kind of mushroom on a breeding farm. It was specifically used to breed death worms, and she also had some in her backpack.
Zhang Li proudly took out mushrooms from the basket.
"Consider it a gift from me, take it and eat it."
Suning didn't answer, but looked at Zhang Li with pity.
"Have you already eaten this mushroom in the dungeon?"
Zhang Li nodded, curious about why Suning asked that. She was not stupid, and thought that Suning's talent was to be able to tell whether the food was poisonous.
I thought Suning wouldn't think there was anything wrong with his mushroom after taking a look.
Zhang Li smiled slightly. "Suning, you're not going to tell me that my mushrooms are poisonous, are you?"
Although there are trace amounts of toxins, this is not the danger of the worm mushroom.
Su Ning nodded in confirmation after hearing Zhang Li's words, but Zhang Li said sarcastically, "Poisonous? We ate these mushrooms for seven days in the dungeon and didn't experience any poisoning at all. Are you jealous because you didn't get any food? That's why you're deliberately saying this to slander us."
Hearing her daughter say this, Zhang Li's mother, Duan Meixia, who had rushed over, appeared in front of Su Ning with a smug look on her face and echoed, "Oh my, Xiao Ning, you better be careful with your words! Also, it seems your talent needs to be verified. I need to report this to your leader. You can't even tell the difference between poisonous and non-toxic. How can you work well in the shelter like this?"
Duan Meixia thought to herself that if their family didn't have something, Suning shouldn't have it either.
A lonely girl should live a miserable and humble life just as she imagines.
Now that Suning has a job at the shelter, he will definitely live a better life than them in the future, which makes Duan Meixia jealous and dissatisfied.
She believed that Suning's shelter job should belong to her daughter. Her daughter was very talented, so why didn't she have a job? Suning didn't deserve it at all.
Looking at the mother and daughter in front of him, Suning couldn't help but sneer, wondering, who is jealous?
Su Ning couldn't help laughing and said to Zhang Li, "You are so ridiculous. You actually think I am jealous of you?"
Su Ning was not unaware of the jealous look in Duan Meixia's eyes.
After all, it is clear who is truly worthy of envy.
"I've already warned you not to eat this mushroom. Whether you listen or not is none of my business, but judging by the time, the mushroom's aftereffects should be taking effect soon!"
After saying that, without waiting for the two to react, Suning closed the door.
Zhang Li stamped her feet in anger. "Why don't you finish what you're saying? What's wrong with this mushroom?"
Duan Meixia said nonchalantly, "Lili, I think this Suning is just incompetent and talking nonsense. She has no food herself but is talking nonsense here. Don't listen to her, she's just envious.
We've been eating it for seven days, how could we not know if it's poisonous? If it was, it would have reacted long ago. Humph, in my opinion, Suning's awakened talent for detecting toxins is nonsense."
Zhang Li frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
Suning was in no mood to rest because of Zhang Li's interruption.
Start organizing your own planting shed.
Three pots of constant temperature flowers have sprouted.
The other two potato pots showed no reaction.
Suning took out the [Zeng Zeng Fertilizer] from the space and sprinkled it directly into the flowerpot.
Then I started watering it again.
After all this was over, Suning slowly observed the five flower pots and could clearly feel that the three constant temperature flowers had begun to grow.
"Adding more fertilizer will shorten the plant's growth cycle, and my [breeder title] also shortens the growth cycle by half. The growth rate will definitely increase!"
The potatoes on the other side also sprouted directly.
Suning is very excited.
While doing all this, she was also ready to plant the giant flower, but she found that there was no flowerpot that could accommodate the huge plant of the giant flower.
"Forget it, let's put it aside for now. I won't die in the scavenger backpack anyway."
Suddenly, Suning's stomach rumbled.
He touched his stomach. In the dungeon world, Suning only ate energy soup. Although energy soup was good, it was not tasty. Now that he was back, Suning would not treat himself badly.
Then he took out meat, eggs, rabbit and rat meat from his backpack.
After the ingredients were prepared, Suning found that he was short of seasoning.
Suning directly opened the [Survival Department Store] and put some meat and eggs on the shelves. Of course, the exchange was in the form of barter. As long as you have enough seasonings, you can exchange them for the meat and eggs she put on the shelves.
Having just returned from the dungeon world, the players had enough money and started shopping.
The meaty eggs on the shelves of Suning stores were quickly discovered.
A wealthy player became curious when he saw this thing.
"Meaty eggs? Each one is as big as an ostrich egg?" After seeing the introduction, the player drooled and wanted to buy it, but found that the owner of this store called [Doomsday Survival Department Store] set the transaction method.
"Need all sorts of seasonings? I happen to have a box of unused seasonings and condiments. I'd love to see what these meaty eggs taste like!"
Transaction Success
Suning has prepared all the ingredients and seasonings.
I started to take action and made a dish of braised rabbit meat at home using a gas stove. Of course, I also took out a bottle of canned meat and cut a few giant fruits.
A table of several decent dishes appeared in front of Suning.
It’s a pity that Suning doesn’t have rice, otherwise it would be even more delicious.
