Chapter 483: Touched (Page 1/2)
Huo Qinghuan was so happy when he learned that his elder brother and sister-in-law were going to hold a farewell party for him that he ran over to help with the cooking without even packing his luggage.
Lin Man thought that this kid would have endless work to do when he went to the countryside, so she didn't want him to do anything.
"Qinghuan, go out and play. I don't need your help today."
"Sister-in-law, please let me help you. I don't know when I can come back. If I were to work in the countryside in a neighboring province, I might not be back for a year. Xishuangbanna is too far away. Not only is the round-trip fare expensive, but the journey is too long. I probably won't be able to take a long vacation.
If you go to the Northeast, you'll need to stay there for the winter, so taking a 10-20 day vacation isn't a problem. I heard the temperature in Xishuangbanna can reach 20 degrees Celsius in the winter, so there's probably endless work to do in winter, so there's no time to take a long vacation."
Lin Man laughed at him, "Qinghuan, you know there's endless work to do over there, why are you still thinking of going there?"
"The scenery over there is beautiful, I want to go and see it. Sister-in-law, I heard that there are a lot of mushrooms there, I will send you some dried mushrooms when the time comes."
Lin Man really didn't expect that Huo Qinghuan actually knew that she liked to eat wild mushrooms, but the place where he went to the countryside was indeed rich in wild mushrooms.
If Huo Qinghuan sent them some dried chicken mushrooms, red mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, and pig mushrooms, she would definitely be very happy.
Although she was happy, she still had to remind him. Lin Man warned, "Qinghuan, you must not follow other educated youths into the mountains to pick wild mushrooms!
If you pick poisonous mushrooms and unfortunately get poisoned, it can be a matter of life and death!
It is best to go with the local residents, and finally hand over the mushrooms you picked to the local residents for inspection.
They say if you can eat it, then eat it, but if you can’t eat it, then don’t eat it.”
After Lin Man finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that the people over there seemed to eat poisonous mushrooms as well. For example, although the scutellaria baicalensis is poisonous, they would still pick it and eat it. However, when cooking the scutellaria baicalensis, they had to blanch it in water first, and then add a lot of oil and a little stir-fry wine before eating it. They also couldn't eat poisonous mushrooms.
Thinking of this, Lin Man reminded him, "Qing Huan, the local residents might eat some poisonous mushrooms."
Huo Qinghuan asked, "Sister-in-law, do they really eat poisonous mushrooms?"
Lin Man nodded. "Yes, there's a kind called Jianshouqing that's also poisonous, but the locals know how to cook it. If you're not good at cooking, don't try it, lest you accidentally eat it and get poisoned."
When Huo Qinghuan heard that eating poisonous mushrooms would cause poisoning, he trembled. "Sister-in-law, what if I really get poisoned by eating poisonous mushrooms? Could I lose my life?"
"If the situation is serious, it will of course be life-threatening, but if it's not particularly serious, you might be able to see all kinds of tiny people and scenes that you wouldn't be able to see in your daily life."
Lin Man found it funny when she thought of those patients who had hallucinations due to mushroom poisoning, and were grabbing things in the air while receiving intravenous drips. She hoped that Huo Qinghuan would not get poisoned by mushrooms when he went there, otherwise it would be really fatal.

Huo Qinghuan cried out, "Sister-in-law, what should I do? I originally planned to collect mushrooms for you every year, bring them back to dry, and then mail them to you. Now it seems that I can only go to the villagers to buy them."
Lin Man stared at the extremely sincere Huo Qinghuan in front of her, and her heart was beating fast. Huo Qinghuan is such a caring and good brother!
Since he is so persistent in wanting to send me those precious dried mushrooms, why not find a book about wild mushrooms in my space and give it to him!
There are not only pictures, but also an introduction to mushrooms, and it is also marked whether the mushrooms are edible.
Prepare a book on wild mushrooms and another one on common Chinese herbal medicines for her.
If he unfortunately encountered an accident such as snake bites or insect bites in the mountains, he could use what he learned to pick herbs for emergency treatment.
Thinking of this, Lin Man gently said to Huo Qinghuan, "Qinghuan, when your eldest brother gets home from get off work later, remember to ask him for some wilderness first aid tips."
Hearing this, Huo Qinghuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He had never imagined that his elder brother and sister-in-law would care so much about him, even more than his biological parents, just because he was sent to the countryside as an educated youth.
For a moment, the emotion was beyond words, the eyes instantly moistened, and the voice became a little hoarse: "Sister-in-law... Thank you..."
Looking at Huo Qinghuan, who had grown up but still had tears in her eyes, Lin Man was a little panicked for a moment.
She patted Huo Qinghuan's shoulder gently and said soothingly, "Okay, don't get too excited. Come over and help me light the fire and cook. Today, let my sister-in-law show us some of her cooking skills!"
Lin Man knew that Huo Qinghuan refused to leave the kitchen, so she simply asked him to sit down and light the fire.
She cooked while chatting with Huo Qinghuan. When the meal was ready, Huo Qingci also came back.
Seeing that his parents and his second brother's family had not arrived yet, Huo Qingci pulled Huo Qinghuan into the room and handed him a glass of water and half a pill.
"Eat this, it's good for your health."
Huo Qinghuan took the cup of water and the pill without thinking, first holding the pill in his mouth, then took a sip of water and swallowed the pill.
After taking the pill and putting down the cup, he asked Huo Qingci, "Brother, what pill did you just give me?"
"A pill to strengthen your body."
"Huh? Where did it come from? It can't be ginseng pills, why do I smell ginseng in the pills! And I feel a warm feeling in my stomach after swallowing the pills."
Huo Qingci thought that it wouldn't work so quickly. He patted Huo Qinghuan on the shoulder and said, "I don't know what this pill is made of, but it's a good thing. I spent a lot of money to get one. You will know its benefits in the future."
