In the Lao Song family, Seventh Uncle was leisurely preparing to make a steaming bowl of spicy pot noodles that would make you sweat.
Qiaoqiao was animatedly gesturing to Wu Lan about picking water chestnuts by the river, regretting that "Chen Chi hasn't finished his writing homework today, so he can't play with us."
Wu Lan was unconcerned: "He can pick water chestnuts every day, no need to join in the crowd."
Then Qiaoqiao said everyone had plucked a whole basket of water chestnut stems, leaving a momentary blank expression:
"A whole basket?"
Didn't they take that big basket woven by Tantan's grandpa? That kind of big basket, filled with those damp water chestnut stems, must weigh at least 80 pounds, right?
Wu Lan thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so asked: "Are they planning to dry them if they can't finish eating? These things..."
How to say it, many wild flavors seem edible because for many years people couldn't get enough to eat.
