Chapter 8 I Can't Stop



Qin family.

It was time for dinner. Old Man Qin looked around and saw that he and his wife were the only two people sitting at a large round table.

He snorted heavily.

Today he specifically called his son and daughter and asked them to come home for dinner.

As a result, one or two of them didn't come back, saying that they had to go to work tomorrow and would not come back for dinner tonight, and would come back for dinner next Friday night.

If he doesn’t come back to eat, just eat it by himself!

Old Mrs. Qin first served a bowl of soup to Old Man Qin, and then served a bowl of soup for herself.

The soup was too hot, so she didn't drink it right away.

"Luckily, we didn't buy chicken this morning. If we had, and the kids weren't home, how would the two of us old people have been able to finish it?"

"Next Friday morning, go buy some more red mushrooms, and I'll go to the countryside to buy a hen. We'll make the hen stewed with red mushrooms tonight."

"What are you buying?" Old Master Qin slammed his chopsticks heavily on the table, obviously angry.

"They can eat it or not! If they don't want to eat it, forget it!"

"Why are you so angry?" Mrs. Qin was speechless. "You know the children are busy at work. It's just a meal, what's the big deal?"

It's not that Grandpa Qin didn't understand, but he bought so many red mushrooms in one go today and wanted the children to come back and try them together. But none of them came back, and he felt like his kindness was being wasted.

"Hmph, we'll eat them ourselves! I'm telling you, old woman, you're not allowed to send them any of those red mushrooms, not even a single one! I'm going to have red mushroom and lean meat porridge tomorrow morning, stir-fried red mushrooms for lunch, and young hen stewed with red mushrooms for dinner!"

Old Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes, but still didn't give up the idea of ​​giving red mushrooms to the children tomorrow.

Let the old man be angry, he won’t say anything if she really sends him a gift.

"Hey, so fresh!"

Old Mrs. Qin took a sip of the red mushroom soup and her eyes lit up instantly.

The soup has a light sweetness, is fresh and smooth, and slides down the throat, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

She drank the first sip too quickly and didn't savor it carefully, so she drank the second sip slowly.

I scooped a spoonful with a spoon and took a sip. The unique sweetness of the red mushroom and the aroma of meat mixed together to form a unique fragrance that was irresistible.

Old Mrs. Qin couldn't describe the taste, but her hands and mouth didn't stop for a moment, and she drank one sip after another.

It wasn't until there was no more soup left in the bowl that she realized she had drunk a whole bowl of soup in one go!

Old Mrs. Qin quickly stood up to get the second bowl, but found that the huge soup bowl was already two-thirds empty, with only one-third left.

The capacity of this soup bowl is not small. The capacity of one soup bowl is equivalent to that of ten ordinary bowls.

Old Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on and yelled at Old Man Qin, "You're a cow! Why are you drinking so much soup?"

"belch……"

Old Master Qin burped and touched his bloated belly. "I'm full. You can eat the rest!"

Old Madam Qin angrily said, "How can I eat so much! You're really sick! Why did you drink so much soup? You didn't eat a single bite of the vegetables, just the soup! Don't sleep tonight, get up and go to the bathroom eight or ten times!"

While Old Lady Qin was cursing, Old Man Qin had already stood up and left.

I drank too much soup and felt too full. I felt uncomfortable.

He needs to go out for a walk to help digest his food.

The red mushroom soup was so delicious that if his stomach wasn't so full, he would have wanted to drink some more.

After scolding Old Man Qin, Old Lady Qin sat down and continued to drink her soup.

She originally thought that there must be a lot of soup left and she should put it in the refrigerator to drink tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, she drank up all the soup in less than ten minutes.

“So full!”

Old Mrs. Qin burped and finally understood why the old man drank so much soup in one breath.

Oh, it’s because the soup is so delicious that I can’t stop eating it!

The old man made the right purchase this time, the red mushroom is worth it!

What are we going to eat tomorrow?

Let’s do as the old man said, drink red mushroom porridge in the morning, stir-fry red mushrooms at noon, and stew red mushrooms with a young hen in the evening!

At 1 a.m., Shen Yunzhao and Zhou Xiuqin entered the space fully armed.

The space was still very quiet, with a bright moon hanging high in the sky. However, very little moonlight could penetrate the leaves into the woods, and the woods were very dark.

The two of them had turned on the flashlights above their heads, and where the light reached, many small insects scurried around and hid in the darkness.

The two of them walked in the woods covered with dead leaves, one step deep and one step shallow, Shen Yunzhao in front and Zhou Xiuqin behind.

"Mom, slow down."

As Shen Yunzhao walked, he reminded Zhou Xiuqin, "The leaves here are wet and slippery. I fell last time."

"Don't worry about me, worry about yourself!"

Zhou Xiuqin expressed disdain, saying that when she was young, she went up the mountain every day and was very familiar with the mountains.

"How long do we have to go?"

Zhou Xiuqin turned her head and saw only dead leaves and trees all over the ground, but not a single red mushroom.

"No need to go, it's right here."

Shen Yunzhao had already squatted down and gently pulled away the dead leaves in front of him. A red mushroom with its red umbrella opened appeared in front of him.

"Oh, this red mushroom is so beautiful!"

Zhou Xiuqin leaned forward to take a look. "This umbrella cover is bright red, like a gem. It's so beautiful!"

Zhou Xiuqin pinched the heel of the red mushroom and gently lifted it up diagonally, and pulled out the red mushroom along with the foot and the soil.

She carefully patted the dirt off her heels.

After taking the photo, I carefully put it into the basket behind me.

"Are there any more around here?"

"Yes, I have."

Shen Yunzhao gently pulled aside the dead leaves beside him, and a red mushroom that was smaller than the previous one appeared in front of him.

Then he found the third, fourth, and fifth flower.

"Haha, I found the red mushroom nest!"

Shen Yunzhao happily picked all the red mushrooms, but when he was picking the fifth red mushroom, he didn't control the strength well and pulled out the cap directly, but the stem remained in place.

“What a pity!”

Shen Yunzhao carefully pulled up the mushroom stalks, blew off the dirt on them and put them into the basket.

After picking the red mushrooms here, the two continued to move forward.

Shen Yunzhao decided not to sense it, but to rely on his own eyes to find the red mushroom.

After taking only a few steps, Zhou Xiuqin stopped.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yunzhao asked, tilting his head.

"I think I stepped on a red mushroom."

Zhou Xiuqin moved her feet, squatted down, and used her hands to push aside the dead leaves, and saw a crushed red mushroom.

The red mushroom had fallen to the ground, its cap had been crushed and its stem had been broken.

"What a shame!" Zhou Xiuqin picked up the umbrella cap on the ground with a distressed look on her face. "Oh, it's such a shame that such a good red mushroom has been trampled like this!"
