Li Chenmo put the bamboo basket on the ground and said, "Let's take a rest here first, and then go down the mountain."
Hearing this, everyone put down their bamboo baskets and sat on the ground. Looking at the clear river water, they wanted to drink so water to quench their thirst.
But before they reached the river, Li Chenmo said, "Don't drink the river water without filtering or boiling it, otherwise, you will get sick. My wife prepared so snacks and water for us."
After speaking, he took out several bamboo bottles and a small bamboo basket. The bamboo basket contains lted brown sugar, roasted soybean powder, spoons, bamboo bowls, and stead buns.
Li Chenmo opened the bamboo bottle, poured the fruit and grass jelly soup into the bowl, and then added so lted brown sugar and soybean powder. Then, he picked up a stead bun and a bowl of grass jelly soup.
Seeing them looking at him, he frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at ? Everyone has a share. This is the grass jelly soup my wife made this morning to relieve the heat. Try it."
Hearing this, they picked up the bowls and said, "Thank you, brother Chen Mo."
At first, they were hesitant because of the color. Although the fruit looks beautiful, the color of the grass jelly is very dark and the soup is brown. They can also sll a hint of earthy aroma from the grass jelly.
But just when the Chen brothers were hesitating, Lu Han and Lu Cheng had already scooped up a spoonful of soup and ate it. The soup tasted refreshing and sweet. The soy milk is fragrant, and with the addition of brown sugar, it has a unique taste.
"Jueyu's skills have improved again. It's so delicious," Lu Cheng said while scooping more soup into his mouth.
"My wife has always been very talented. If she says she is second in cooking, no one will dare to claim to be first." Li Chenmo said proudly.
Lu Han and Lu Cheng rolled their eyes at him. Although his words are shaless, they actually agree with his point of view. Their sister's cooking skills are so good that they can't get enough of her food.
Seeing how much they liked the soup and stead buns, the Chen brothers finally gave it a try. Once they try it, there's no turning back. In less than thirty minutes, the stead buns and grass jelly soup were eaten by them.
After he washed and packed up the utensils, Li Chenmo said, "Let's go back now."
After being shown where they could gather wheat, they finally go down the mountains. They did not go back to the village directly, but went to the bamboo forest near Li Chenmo's house.
Lu Han saw him picking eight bamboo shoots and asked, "Brother-in-law, why are you picking so many bamboo shoots?"
"My wife likes pickled bamboo shoots very much, so I want to bring so back for her." Li Chenmo said with a gentle smile.
Unlike them, his bamboo basket was filled with mushrooms, wild vegetables, and bamboo shoots. He doesn't need to collect food like they do, so he just picks things his wife likes to eat.
Seeing how much he doted on their sister, Lu Han and Lu Cheng laughed and dug so bamboo shoots. They would also bring so back to their parents, wives, and children.
When they arrived at Li Chenmo's house, the sky was already dark. As they entered the house, they saw Lu Jueyu taking sothing out of the brick oven.
Seeing her husband coming back, Lu Jueyu put the roast chicken in the bamboo basket and walked in front of him.
"Husband, you are back," She said as she helped him take down the bamboo basket.
"Wife, I picked so mushrooms and wild vegetables for you. We can make wild vegetable pancakes tomorrow. There are also so bamboo shoots," Li Chenmo said as he showed the things he picked for her.
Looking at the fresh mushrooms and wild vegetables, Lu Jueyu kissed her husband's cheek and said, "Thank you, husband, you are the best!"
The Chen brothers were caught off guard by their show of affection and felt embarrassed. They lowered their heads to prevent themselves from seeing what they shouldn't see.
As for Lu Han and Lu Cheng, they are already immune to the interaction between Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo.
Lu Cheng looked at the sky and said, "Jueyu, it's getting late. We will go back first."
Lu Jueyu seed to have just realized that soone was still there. She looked at her brother and said, "Okay, be careful on the road, brother."
Lu Han shook his head when he saw that his sister's attitude towards them and Li Chenmo was completely different.
After thanking Li Chenmo, the Lu brothers and Chen brothers returned ho. Since it was already dinner ti, the villagers had already returned ho, and no one knew they had found so much food on the mountain.
At the sa ti, in the county hospital, Doctor Xie was drinking tea in Li Shu's ward. As he got older, he had trouble sleeping and would spend ti reminiscing about tis spent with his best friend and the woman they both loved.
The sky was full of stars. He took out his pocket watch and saw that it was already nine o'clock in the evening. The nurse will not co to check on the patient at this ti.
He put away his pocket watch, looked around and found that other patients and family mbers were already asleep. Putting down the teacup, he walked to the bedside table and poured so water into the cup.
Looking at his granddaughter's pale face, he took out a jar from his pocket and opened the lid. The mont he opens the lid, the earthy sll of ginseng and the refreshing aroma of mint fill the air.
He looked at the golden powder mixed with the silvery powder, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
