Looking at so many things, Grandma Zhu was not only happy, but also felt sorry for the two children who had carried them from such a far place.
"Your mother and I are going to sort these mushrooms so that they can be sold tomorrow.
You guys must be hungry since you haven’t eaten yet. There’s food in the pot for you to heat up. Grandma will bring it to you first.”
As she said this, she was about to walk towards the kitchen, only to see that Mother Zhu had already brought the food over.
Knowing that Qin Han would stay here tonight, Grandma Zhu specially fried half of the remaining bacon and made an egg drop soup.
She and her daughter-in-law hardly touched these two dishes, mainly because they wanted to save them for their two children, who are at the stage of growing up.
After placing the pancake in her arms on the table, Mother Zhu brought some hot water and motioned for them to wash their hands before eating.
After washing their hands, they sat at the dining table to eat.
Grandma Zhu is also a very skillful person. Even if there are not many seasonings at home, she can still cook delicious meals.
The pancakes are made by Zhu's mother. She puts flour, eggs, chopped green onions, and salt for seasoning, and then fries them in oil. They are crispy and delicious.
It just took a little too long to cook, so it didn’t taste as crispy as when it was first out of the pan, but it was still delicious.
Zhu Likang can only eat this kind of food during festivals.
He first gave a pancake to Squad Leader Qin, then took one for himself. He opened his mouth wide and took a big bite impatiently, and immediately showed a very satisfied expression.
"It's delicious. Squad Leader Qin has taken all of your food today, otherwise mom would definitely not have made pancakes to eat."
He said this casually, and he was not angry because his mother made it specially for Class Leader Qin.
On the contrary, he felt that his mother was right. Squad Leader Qin was so good to him, and he should be treated according to the highest standards at home.
Qin Han was infected by the way he ate and couldn't help but start eating as well. Under Mother Zhu's expectant gaze, he gave her a thumbs up without hesitation: "Thank you, Auntie. It smells very good and tastes very good."
Seeing that Qin Han really liked it, Mother Zhu started gesturing again.
"If you like it, eat more. I'll make it for you next time!"
This was translated by Zhu Likang. Qin Han thanked him again after hearing it.
But what I was thinking in my heart was how I could return the kindness next time.
He knew Zhu Likang's family conditions. If he came a few more times, his family would be bankrupt.
Fortunately, they can take the wild mushrooms they picked to the town to sell tomorrow, and they should be able to get a good price.
Looking at her family members enjoying the meal, Mother Zhu did not disturb them anymore. Instead, she followed her mother-in-law and sat on a small stool to classify and sort the mushrooms.
However, when classifying, Old Lady Qin found several poisonous mushrooms and asked who picked the wild mushrooms in this bag.
Zhu Likang looked at the sack and raised his hand cautiously: "Grandma, I picked them, what's wrong?"
When she heard that her grandson had picked them, Grandma Zhu couldn't help but say, "These are poisonous mushrooms. At the very least, they can cause dizziness and nausea, and at the worst, they can cause hallucinations. If you eat too much, it can even kill you.
Fortunately, I checked it. Otherwise, if I sold it to someone who didn’t know mushrooms, it would be terrible if he ate it.”
Zhu Likang felt guilty after hearing this: "I'm sorry, grandma, I didn't know..."
"Grandma doesn't blame you. I know you're a child. You just can't be careless about what you eat. After you finish your meal, check these poisonous mushrooms again. Next time you'll know whether they are poisonous or not." Grandma Zhu's voice couldn't help but become much softer.
Zhu Likang nodded obediently: "Grandma, I understand."
By saying this, Grandma Zhu just wanted her grandson to realize the seriousness of the matter. When the famine broke out, many people went to the mountains to look for all kinds of edibles.
Among them were those who ate poisonous mushrooms. One child was too young to withstand the toxicity of the mushrooms and died on the spot. It was a tragic death.
This is also the reason why she wanted to go and pick them together.
Fortunately, it is not too late to discover it now.
After sorting out the mushrooms picked by Zhu Likang, he poured out all the mushrooms in Qin Han's sack.
I thought I would find poisonous mushrooms, but after classifying all the poisonous mushrooms, I didn’t find any so-called poisonous mushrooms.
Grandma Zhu didn't think Qin Han knew about poisonous mushrooms, she just thought he was lucky.
Soon, the two of them had eaten up most of the food on the table, and the only thing left was the bacon.
The bacon is delicious, but it will be too salty if you eat too much, so they didn’t eat too much bacon.
Grandma Zhu also sorted out the things in the snakeskin bag, and then found several medium-sized urea bags and packed them separately.
There were only about twenty apples left, and she knew that some of them must be for her grandson's classmates, so she didn't put them in her own room. Instead, she picked them up and put them in her grandson's room, and asked Qin Han to remember to take them with him when he returned.
Before I knew it, it was already half past eight. Usually at this time, Mother Zhu and Grandma Zhu would have gone to bed.
But today the whole family went to bed very late, after Mother Zhu had tidied up everything in the hall.
Stopping her mother-in-law from cleaning up the dishes, she gestured with her hands a few times, indicating that she should go to bed first and leave the rest to him.
Grandma Zhu really couldn't bear it anymore. She was prone to insomnia as she got older, so she especially cherished her sleep time in the early stages. Otherwise, she would always wake up in the second half of the night for various reasons and would feel groggy and more uncomfortable the more she slept.
"Li Kang, classmate Qin, I'm going to bed first. You should also get some rest early." After saying hello to the two of them, Grandma Zhu yawned and went back to her room.
Mother Zhu put away the leftover dishes and took them into the kitchen.
