"I'm busy now, you eat by yourself, I'll eat after I'm done, you see my hands are always full."

Alice Qin looked at the roast duck leg that Linzhou handed over and shook her head to refuse without thinking.

"Mom, your hands are not free, I will feed you." Linzhou listened to her words and put the duck leg to her mouth.

When I was a child, my parents' favorite saying was "I don't like to eat!"

At that time, he always believed it and didn't understand why they didn't like or enjoy eating the things he thought were delicious.

Later, I gradually understood that it was not that they disliked the food, but they just wanted to keep the delicious food for themselves so that they could eat more.

Just like his mother is now, making all kinds of excuses, Linzhou is sure that even later, she will not eat it, but will just put it in her own bowl.

"Take it away quickly. Mom is already an adult, why should you feed her?" Alice Qin turned her head and looked at him.

"Mom, if you don't eat it, then I won't eat it either!" Linzhou shook the other duck leg in his hand.

"You kid, you're already an adult, why are you still acting like a child?" Alice Qin saw that she couldn't trick him, so she had no choice but to open her mouth and bite off a piece of duck meat.

Seeing this, Linzhou smiled slightly and then started eating.

When Alice Qin saw his smile, she also showed a happy smile on her face, and her eyes were full of relief.

"Mom, do you know how much this wild chicken mushroom sells for per pound in the neighboring city?"

Linzhou ate the roast duck leg while chatting with his mother and feeding her.

Just like that, after finishing a duck leg, he also got some price information about vegetables and fruits from his mother, such as the price of water spinach is about 5 yuan per catty.

As for wild chicken mushroom, I am not sure.

Because my mother has never met anyone who sells this thing.

"The mushrooms you picked are of very good quality. If you sell them, the price will definitely be higher than usual."

At this time, Alice Qin, who had washed all the chicken mushrooms, also sighed.

I have to say that the wild black-skinned chicken mushroom seems to reveal its true appearance after being washed with clean water.

The dark brown cap is covered with moisture, making it look even fresher.

The soil on the bottom of the mushroom stalk was also washed away, and the white and tender flesh of the mushroom where the root was cut off exuded a refreshing fragrance. Linzhou, who was standing nearby, could smell it with every breath.

As Alice Qin placed them on the chopping board and cut them in half into thin strips, the color and aroma became even more attractive.

"It smells so good! This mushroom soup is absolutely delicious!"

After Alice Qin finished cutting, she couldn't help but sighed with regret: "It's a pity that your sister is not here today and can't taste the soup, otherwise she would definitely circle around the pot."

"Mom, I'll take a picture when you're done, and show it to her when she comes back so she can enjoy the sight." Linzhou said with a smile.

"You're such a grown-up, yet you still like to tease your sister!" Alice Qin seemed to have thought of what would happen, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Go get the food from the refrigerator. I'll make the soup. Just heat up the food and you can eat."

"good!"

Put the snow-white lard into the pot to melt, add water and boil, then put in the chopped chicken mushroom mycelium. The unique mushroom aroma wafts out from the pot, making you salivate.

After boiling for a while, the mycelium is cooked and adding salt makes the aroma more tempting.

Linzhou and Alice Qin, who had been tired for the whole afternoon, both felt hungry because of the smell.

After a while, a small pot of fresh mushroom soup came out of the pot. Linzhou took it back to the room downstairs and put it on the table.

He picked up the small bowl on the table, took out the soup spoon from the chopstick pocket, and scooped it into two bowls.

By the time Alice Qin came down with the hot dishes, he had already moved the plastic stool under the table.

They sat at the table, picked up the bowls of soup and blew gently.

When it felt a little cooler, Linzhou couldn't wait to bring it to his mouth and take a sip.

The soup is still a little hot when it enters your mouth, but this heat is instantly covered by the umami flavor of the soup.

At the same time, the mellow aroma of the chicken mushroom also explodes in your mouth.

"So fresh!!!"

Linzhou didn’t know how to describe the taste. If he really had to, it would probably be just one word - very delicious!

Therefore, the next second, he blew out two quick breaths and took a sip happily.

In this way, the bowl of mushroom soup was quickly finished and was completely eaten up by him.

At the same time, Alice Qin, who was sitting opposite her, also put down her bowl and said, "Xiaozhou, this soup is really delicious. Drink more!"

"Mom, you should drink more too. It's good for your body and helps boost your immunity." Linzhou picked up her bowl and scooped another bowl for her, this time mixing it with chicken mushroom mycelium.

Then he scooped some for himself.

Then I discovered that the deliciousness of the chicken mushroom was just as good as the mushroom soup.

The taste is fresh and tender, with a strong sweet fragrance, and the taste even gives him the illusion that he is eating shredded chicken.

Naturally, this meal was also very enjoyable.

A small bowl of chicken mushroom soup was eaten up by Linzhou and his mother.

Moreover, the taste of the rice soaked in mushroom soup made both of them eat two more bowls of rice than usual.

The consequence is that both of them are very full.

In addition, the other dishes were hardly touched.

After sitting in the chair and resting for a while, Alice Qin stood up and cleaned up the dishes.

"Mom, are you going to sell vegetables tomorrow?" Linzhou helped to pack up the leftovers and prepared to put them in the refrigerator.

"No, I have to go to the store tomorrow. This time I will work for three days. I will probably come back very late every day. You are alone at home. You have to make your own meals. Don't go hungry."

"Especially breakfast, you must remember to eat it." Alice Qin reminded.

"Mom, I know." Linzhou nodded, thinking about selling vegetables tomorrow morning.

In the evening, after washing up, Linzhou went into the small room to rest early, saying that he was tired from the car ride.

However, after he lay down on the bed, he entered directly into the farm space.

And, go straight to the water spinach in the farmland.

When we arrived at the farmland, we saw that the water spinach in the three fields had grown very lush, with emerald green leaves and roots and stems intertwined with each other, so that the farmland below was almost invisible.

Apparently, this is ready to be harvested.

Linzhou found a plant on the edge of the farmland, pushed aside the dark green leaves, traced its roots, and combed out the rhizomes.

Then, he started from the appropriate rhizome position, pinched the rhizome of the water spinach, and bent it hard.

"Boom---"

The water spinach was easily pinched off, and the slight sound of the break startled Linzhou.

"So crispy and tender!"

He was familiar with this sound. When he was a child, he used a wooden stick to chop those sour poles, and it was the same sound.

Because there is water inside those sour tube poles, and the tips are particularly tender and crisp, so when you chop them with a wooden stick, they will make such a sound, which is extremely pleasant.

Therefore, the large areas of sour poleworms by the river and in the forests were often destroyed by him and his friends.
