Chunniang then chopped a golden ear fungus into pieces and stewed it.
After it had been stewed, she first fed some to a chicken to observe for half a day. Seeing that the chicken showed no abnormalities, she decided to taste some herself.
Yingbao actually didn't want her mother to taste it. After all, her mother was still breastfeeding, and it would be disastrous if her milk supply were affected in any way.
But Chunniang insisted on tasting it herself. She drank a small half bowl and, after waiting for a while and feeling no discomfort, she finally allowed her daughter to eat.
Yingbao took a sip. The golden ear soup was soft, glutinous, and slightly viscous. It carried the scent of osmanthus, and it would have been even better with a touch of honey.
"It's delicious." Yingbao devoured half a bowl in one breath, then licked her lips and said, "Let's have dad take it into town to the pharmacy tomorrow. If that doesn't work, we'll take it into the county."
