God of Cooking, grilling skewers attracted the fairy beasts

"Wow! Look, little miss, this one is so round and beautiful!"

The first person to discover mushrooms was Xiao Chi.

When she accidentally kicked away a dead leaf that fell to the ground, she found something hidden underneath.

It was a red, chubby mushroom. Xiao Chi bent down to pick it up and handed it to Lu Xiaoxiao to see.

"It's mushrooms. There are so many mushrooms growing on the ground!"

Originally, Lu Xiaoxiao's attention was focused on finding the spiritual beast. After Xiao Chi's reminder, he discovered that the woods in front of him were full of mushrooms.

“Are they edible?”

Xiao Chi had never eaten mushrooms before, so he had to ask Lu Xiaoxiao.

If these mushrooms were just for looks, then they wouldn't be that attractive to her.

"Of course! I ate a lot of it when I was in southern Xinjiang."

Lu Xiaoxiao said firmly that there was nothing wrong with what she said.

It’s just that the mushrooms she had eaten before were all those that had been screened by others and were non-toxic and had no side effects.

So actually Lu Xiaoxiao doesn’t know how to tell whether mushrooms are edible or not.

They look almost the same, except that the colors are brighter. Maybe the better they look, the better they taste!

That's what she thought anyway.

"Well, try it?"

Xiao Chi can't wait any longer.

"Ok!"

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, picked a mushroom that she thought was the most beautiful, and took a bite of it while it was wet with dew without even washing it.

"Baji~baji~"

The two little ones chewed it for a few times and found that it was not as delicious as they had imagined.

The taste was a bit bland. It seemed that their previous guess was wrong. There was no direct correlation between appearance and taste.

"The taste is just so-so!"

After taking just one bite, Xiao Chi lost interest in taking a second bite.

"It doesn't taste good when eaten raw. How about we pick some and have Brother Li Heng cook them?"

Lu Xiaoxiao suggested that she believed Li Heng must have the ability to make these mushrooms more delicious.

"That makes sense! Let's hurry up, it's time to eat soon."

As a foodie himself, Xiao Chi has great confidence in Li Heng.

After the two little ones reached a consensus, they no longer cared about catching the spiritual beast.

Everyone simply held a small basket and became mushroom picking girls.

"This, this, and that..."

The two little ones jumped and skipped through the mushroom forest, carefully selecting the mushrooms they liked.

Don’t buy those that are too small, ugly, or with unpleasant colors.

It didn't take long for the two of them to collect several baskets of mushrooms of various colors and varieties.

"Young lady, is this enough for us to eat?"

"That's enough. I have a feeling that Brother Li Heng's meal is ready. We should go back quickly!"

Lu Xiaoxiao put away the basket, pulled Xiaochi with him and headed back.

Fortunately, they didn't walk too far. In less than half an hour, they returned to the temporary camp of Li Heng and his group.

Even though they were still several hundred steps away, the two little ones could already smell the fragrance of the food.

Lu Xiaoxiao's sixth sense as a foodie was indeed very accurate. When they came back, they saw Li Heng placing dishes on the table.

"Brother Li Heng, we brought you something good!"

As soon as they saw Li Heng, they were very excited and wanted to share with him what they had gained from this trip.

"Seeing how happy you two are, you must have gained a lot!"

After placing the last dish on the table, Li Heng turned to look at the two little ones.

"Look, these are the mushrooms we just picked."

The two little ones handed the basket to Li Heng as if they were presenting a treasure, and said happily.

"mushroom?"

Li Heng then realized that mushrooms do grow in the jungle after the rain.

If it weren't for the two little ones picking some back, he might not have even thought about it.

"But these colorful things are poisonous at first glance and cannot be used as food!"

When Li Heng saw the various kinds of mushrooms in the basket, he was a little amused.

Although he couldn't identify the specific types of these mushrooms, he still knew some basic common sense.

Generally speaking, the more colorful a mushroom is, the more likely it is to be poisonous.

Of course, this is not absolute, because many mushrooms that are not so brightly colored, or even gray-black, may be poisonous.

Didn’t someone even write a nursery rhyme to warn people not to eat wild mushrooms casually?

Li Heng only remembered a few lines of the lyrics.

"Red umbrella, white pole."

"Let's lie down together after eating."

"Lie on the board, sleep in the coffin."

"Then bury Shanshan together..."

Not to mention the lyrics were quite magical, he almost sang them out loud.

The experience Li Heng learned from the older generation is that when you can't be sure whether a mushroom is poisonous, just assume it is poisonous.

"What??"

"Is..., poisonous?"

After hearing what Li Heng said, the two kids immediately lost their composure and even stuttered when they spoke, since they had just eaten not long ago.

The most innocent one was Xiao Chi. She had specifically asked Lu Xiaoxiao before eating, but she didn't expect that she would be cheated by her in the end.

Fortunately, both of them only took a small bite, so even if it was poisonous, the symptoms would not be too serious.

Besides, the two of them have some skills, so it's impossible for them to just eat such a small amount and then die.

"Have you two eaten yet?"

Seeing the two little ones’ big reactions, Li Heng made a reasonable guess.

"No, no!"

Lu Xiaoxiao would never admit to such an embarrassing thing.

If they really have a stomachache in a while, they can just bear with it and it will pass. Anyway, they can't give everyone, especially Brother Li Heng, the chance to laugh at them.

"Didn't eat? Then why are you two so pale?"

It has been a while since the two little ones finished eating the mushrooms.

In other words, the toxins contained in the mushrooms have begun to be absorbed by their bodies, causing side effects.

"Is there? Why can't I feel it?"

Lu Xiaoxiao touched her little face and continued to argue.

Before she realized it, her body was becoming unstable and she began to stagger.

Xiao Chi has similar symptoms to her.

The two men seemed to be drunk, their eyes became more and more blurred, and then they started to perform drunken boxing in front of Li Heng.

"Eh? Brother Li Heng, why do you have two heads? Four arms?"

"Also, could you please stop swaying in front of my eyes? It's making me dizzy!"

Li Heng felt speechless. He was clearly standing there, not moving at all.

This is an illusion. Li Heng has heard of similar situations.

Li Heng was still thinking about how to wake up the two little ones when they started making noise again.

"Hey, it's delicious, so much delicious food!"

"Mine! It's all mine!"

The two little ones were grabbing and hugging the air in front of them, muttering to themselves at the same time.

"What a big chicken drumstick! Don't run away! Let me take a bite!"

"Don't fight with me, I saw that chicken drumstick first!"

Before they knew it, the two little ones' hallucinations overlapped.

Li Heng wanted to laugh, but he felt that if he laughed now, it would be a bit like gloating.

After all, someone was poisoned.
