Chapter 3 Poison Testing
Chen Jing didn't think much about it, immediately squatted down, quickly picked a large handful of mushrooms, and put them in the back basket behind him.
"Brother Chen, are you hungry and stunned, and you really went to dig this poisonous mushroom?"
At this moment, a burly teenager suddenly ran over from the side and said eagerly.
Chen Jing turned his head and saw that it was the farmer named Da Niu in his impression.
Among those people, only this person did not mock himself, in the memory of the original owner, he was a famous and bold person in the Zhuangzi, and he was infinitely powerful, and could lift hundreds of pounds of stones.
After encountering an accident at home, the Da Niu family gave a lot of help to the original owner of this body.
"Brother Chen, these mushrooms can't be eaten, if you're hungry, I'll give you some wild vegetables."
Seeing that Chen Jing didn't say a word, Da Niu took out most of the wild vegetables in his basket and handed them to Chen Jing.
"Take it, take it back and eat it with your daughters-in-law."
"If you can't tell which wild vegetables you can eat, I'll tell you about it tomorrow, but remember, this poisonous mushroom must not be eaten, otherwise it will kill you."
The big bull lowered his head and was about to drill into the dense forest.
Because his physical fitness far surpasses that of his peers, he is also more courageous, and on weekdays, he is always the first to come into contact with the deep mountains and old forests that others dare not set foot in.
"Big Niu, wait a minute." Chen Jing saw that Da Niu was leaving, so he hurriedly shouted.
"Big Niu, are you sure you can't eat any of these mushrooms? Have we ever died because of accidental eating? ”
Chen Jing hurriedly followed and asked eagerly.
When Da Niu heard this, he suddenly became anxious, turned around and glared angrily: "Why are you so stubborn? ”
"Don't you know how Cuicui's mother died? At that time, I just couldn't help but have to eat, and in the end, even your father couldn't go back. ”
It is said that before he died, all he saw in his eyes were phantoms.
Chen Jing was stunned, and with some disbelief, he took out a few mushrooms from the back basket, and asked solemnly: "Are you sure it's a mushroom of this color, Cuicui's mother died because of eating this?" ”
"I don't know the color, but they're all black mushrooms, and they don't look good."
"Even if you're hungry, don't eat it."
Da Niu snatched the basket in Chen Jing's hand and threw all the mushrooms on the ground.
"I see."
Chen Jing stared blankly at the mushrooms that were thrown to the ground, and his heart became more and more affirmative.
"It's because people don't know how to distinguish the types of mushrooms, thinking that they are all poisonous."
"This is the difference in understanding, which leads to all the mushrooms being ignored by everyone."
Chen Jing first put the mushrooms in the back basket, and then put the wild vegetables sent by the big cow on top of it, covered it, and hurried home.
"Xianggong, you're back."
As soon as they got home, the five women gathered around them.
Seeing the basket Chen Jing carrying, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
I haven't eaten for two days and two nights, and now I'm almost fainting from hunger.
Now what Chen Jing brought back is all ordinary wild vegetables, but for them, it is a treasure.
I have to say that in such an era when food is scarce and even tree bark is scrambling to grab it, it is not easy to bring back this basket full of wild vegetables.
If a few of them went out, let alone brought them back, it is estimated that they would have been snatched up a long time ago.
"I'm going to boil the water, and there's some dry wood in it." Wu Sisi said and rushed into the back kitchen.
"Then I'll wash the dishes."
"Let's go get some water." Su Xiaoyong said to Qiu Feifei.
"Husband has worked hard, sit down and rest, and the concubine will come to help you rub your shoulders."
Everyone did their part, and without saying a word, they took the basket in Chen Jing's hand.
"Fortunately, the five of them are still diligent, and they can save me a lot of things." Chen Jing sighed silently in his heart.
Chen Jing watched the five people busy before and after, and his heart was also very gratified.
During the time he left, the house, which had been a mess due to robbery, was actually cleaned up.
"Xianggong, let's save a little bit of food in this basket, it's enough to eat for a day."
Lin Xiaoxi said that, he took out some wild vegetables from the back basket and was about to wash them.
At this moment, the mushroom in the back basket was exposed to her.
Lin Xiaoxi's eyes darkened, he screamed loudly, and almost fell to the ground.
"Xiaoxi, what's such a big reaction, have the dishes been washed, the water here is about to boil."
Wu Sisi poked her head out of the kitchen to look at her.
"Xianggong, Xianggong, he, he, he actually picked mushrooms." Wu Sisi said in a crying voice.
"What?!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately came over, and they were all dumbfounded.
They looked up at Chen Jing, not knowing what to do.
What do you want to do?
Do we have to kill ourselves?
Or does he want everyone to be fed and on the road together?
The five girls were pale, and they looked at Chen Jing's gaze with a hint of fear.
"Xianggong, you mean to let us ......?"
Wu Sisi looked up, and his tears could no longer be controlled.
With her crying, the other four women also cried, and the trace of luck that had just risen in everyone's hearts was suddenly poured into their hearts again.
"Why are you crying?" Chen Jing's eyes swept over the five charming and moving daughters-in-law, frowning slightly, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
"The mushrooms I brought back are edible."
"Don't cry, if you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you."
"Xiao Yong, you go to the yard and bring Xiao Hei in."
As Chen Jing spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, took the basin in Wu Sisi's hand, washed the mushrooms, and then threw the mushrooms into the pot in front of several women.
After a while, hot air came out of the pot, and a fresh fragrance came to my nose.
"It smells good."
The five women inhaled in unison and consciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Soon, however, a frightened expression appeared on their faces, and they stepped back in unison.
After a while, Xiao Hei was led into the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he wagged his tail vigorously.
Since the Chen family suffered an accident, Xiao Hei has also eaten the last meal but not the next.
So, when it smelled the fragrance, its mouth couldn't help but open wide.
"Everyone can see clearly whether eating this mushroom will really die."
After a while, Chen Jing opened the lid, fished out a bowl of mushrooms, and placed it in front of Xiao Hei.
