When they heard it was called snake fruit, the two of them paused while eating the fruit, and Mother Zhu gestured again with concern.
Knowing what she was worried about, Zhu Likang smiled and told her to eat it without worry. Although the name sounded scary, it was indeed not poisonous. If you don't believe me, ask Squad Leader Qin. He recognized this fruit, otherwise I wouldn't dare to eat it either.
Qin Han nodded affirmatively: "Yes, you can eat it without worry, it is non-toxic."
Only then did Mother Zhu and Grandma Zhu feel relieved. Because the fruit was so delicious, they were reluctant to eat it in big mouthfuls.
It took them more than ten minutes to eat half a fruit. Even though Zhu Likang said there were many more in the secret base, they were still reluctant to eat it.
"Li Kang, don't tell anyone else about the secret base you mentioned, otherwise the things inside will not be safe." Grandma Zhu warned worriedly.
"I know, grandma, don't worry!" Zhu Likang nodded.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Han decided to go back.
Remembering that the lunch box was still in the kitchen, Mother Zhu immediately went to the kitchen, handed the washed bowl to Qin Han, and asked him to come and play often when he had time.
Qin Han agreed with a smile and left immediately.
"Grandma, let me see Squad Leader Qin off!" Zhu Likang followed her out.
When Grandma Zhu saw the door was open, she quickly put the snake fruit away. As for the porcini, she planned to take them to town to sell tomorrow.
Outside, Zhu Likang sent Qin Han to the village entrance. He originally wanted to send Qin Han back, but was rejected by Qin Han.
If I let him take me back, I would really have to walk back.
"Team Leader Qin, be careful on the road and see you at school tomorrow." Zhu Likang waved at Qin Han.
"Okay, you go back soon!" Qin Han nodded, then walked forward under Zhu Likang's gaze.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect on Zhu Likang, but he felt that the temperature dropped after Squad Leader Qin left. He tightened his clothes until he could no longer see Squad Leader Qin’s back, then he turned around and went back.
Little did he know that Qin Han had already gone back before he got home.
"Brother Han'er, why did you come back just now?" When Qin Li saw Qin Han, he ran towards him like a little follower.
"I had dinner at my classmate's house. Why did you miss me?" Qin Han asked with a smile.
When Ergouzi saw his owner, he immediately stood up from the ground. He smelled a familiar scent on him and his eyes lit up immediately.
“Woof woof woof…”
"Master, you ate delicious food behind my back, take it out quickly!" Er Gouzi shouted.
Even Qin Li noticed that Qin Han's pocket was bulging: "Brother Han'er, what's in your pocket?"
Under the gaze of everyone, Qin Han took out two bags of porcini mushrooms, which were given to him by Zhu Likang.
"Oh my goodness, where did the porcini come from in the middle of winter?" Old Mrs. Qin asked excitedly.
This is a good thing. It tastes especially delicious when used to make soup.
Although there are many mountains here, there are not many porcini mushrooms. Most of them are ordinary mushrooms or wood ears.
"My classmate took me to pick this. Grandma, if you like it, I'll get more next time."
"Good, this is a good thing that money can't buy." Old Mrs. Qin picked up the porcini and smelled it with a smile. It was still fresh.
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Old Man Qin and said, "Old man, go kill two chickens and make soup for dinner."
After hearing this, Old Man Qin was about to go to the kitchen, but Qin Han hurriedly said, "Grandpa, wait a moment!"
As he spoke, he took out two more snake fruits from his arms.
Qin Jiandang had never seen such brightly colored fruit before, and asked curiously what it was.
No one else had seen it either, but it looked a bit like an apple, so Jiang Yuxin asked if it was an apple.
"This is called snake fruit, you can try it!" Qin Han took out a lot of snake fruits from the space.
When Wei Yang heard that it was a snake fruit, she was so scared that she burst into tears: "Wuwuwu...I don't want to eat fruit that snakes eat."
Wei Yan, who didn't understand what was going on, kept shaking his head with a look of resistance.
On the contrary, Qin Li, who is one year younger than them, seemed much calmer: "Who said that snake fruit must be eaten by snakes? Brother Han'er asked us to eat it, so it must be edible. Look at how timid you are."
"Really?" Wei Yang wiped her tears, looking a little silly.
Qin Li didn't say anything, but proved with his actions that the fruit was edible.
He picked a medium-sized fruit from the table and started to eat it without washing it. It tasted just as he had imagined.
"Grandpa and grandma, please eat quickly, it's delicious."
His expression couldn't be faked, so the others also took one and started eating.
After eating it, Old Lady Qin immediately fell in love with it: "This snake fruit is so delicious, Han'er, where did you find it?"
"It's really good, and it tastes like an apple, but I think it tastes a little better than an apple, except that the skin is a little thick." In just a short while, Qin Jianguo had eaten most of the apple.
Seeing that everyone said it was delicious, Wei Yang and Wei Yan carefully took one and took a light bite.
After tasting it, I just held it and started chewing it.
"Eat slowly and don't choke." Jiang Yuxin looked at the two little guys eating voraciously and patted them on the back.
“Woof woof woof…”
Seeing that everyone was eating the fruit except himself, Ergouzi started shouting.
"Ergou, do you want to eat snake fruit too?" Qin Qing asked Ergou who was shouting anxiously.
Er Gouzi nodded, then wagged his tail.
Qin Han immediately stuffed an apple into his mouth, and Cuihua and the other dogs also ate one.
"Han'er, where did you find this fruit? Why have I never seen it in decades of living here?" Qin Jiandang asked after eating the snake fruit in his hand.
"This is Zhu Likang and I's secret base. If you like it, I'll pick some more next week."
"Don't forget the porcini mushrooms, which are also good things." Old Lady Qin reminded.
Seeing that grandma still remembered this, Qin Han smiled and nodded: "I will never forget it."
After eating the snake fruit, Old Man Qin turned and went into the kitchen. He did not forget to kill the chicken.
The chicken that was napping in the chicken coop lost its life because of the porcini mushrooms picked by Qin Han.
In the evening, Old Lady Qin used a clay pot to simmer chicken soup on a clay stove for two hours, and put a lot of porcini mushrooms in it.
The chicken legs were given to Weiyang, Weiyan, Qin Han and Qin Li respectively, because they were the youngest children in the family.
Qin Han didn't expect that he could still eat chicken legs at this age. It turns out that being born later has its advantages.
It snowed heavily for three consecutive days. This year's snow was heavier than in previous years and lasted longer.
The well is frozen every day, and we have to pour hot water into it to melt the ice in the pipes.
The villagers who usually like to visit each other have been busy sweeping the snow off the eaves these two days, otherwise the houses may collapse easily over time.
