After five hours of weariness, she had to taste what the little white mushrooms were like.
Water boiled on the stove, she cleaned a basin of little white mushrooms, plunged them into the boiling water to soften, scooped them out, passed them under cold water to drain, took out a plateful, mixed them simply with cold sauce, and took a bite.
The first bite was astonishing.
"It contains energy, slightly more than what the edamame had."
"In places abundant with energy, the quality of crops is also higher."
She took another bite.
"Better than enoki mushrooms, they can be chewed through."
Then the third bite.
"They're quite tasty when mixed cold."
"When there's nothing else to do, I can gather more to eat as a dish."
Ye Nai ate half a plate of little white mushrooms in one go before putting down her chopsticks, took out a packet of soup noodles from her food reserves, added the mushrooms, mixed them, and continued eating.
