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 some 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 some snacks and water for us."
After speaking, he took out several bamboo bottles and a small bamboo basket. The bamboo basket contains melted brown sugar, roasted soybean powder, spoons, bamboo bowls, and steamed buns.
Li Chenmo opened the bamboo bottle, poured the fruit and grass jelly soup into the bowl, and then added some melted brown sugar and soybean powder. Then, he picked up a steamed bun and a bowl of grass jelly soup.
Seeing them looking at him, he frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me? 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 smell 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 shameless, 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 steamed buns, the Chen brothers finally gave it a try. Once they try it, there’s no turning back. In less than thirty minutes, the steamed 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 some back for her." Li Chenmo said with a gentle smile.
