Xiao Li remembered the rumors he had heard before, saying that Lu Jueyu was illiterate and rude. To this day, no one knows who spread these rumors. Although most of the villagers stopped talking about these rumors after interacting more with her, there were still some who liked to bring them up to ridicule her.
Xiao Li glanced at her and started cleaning the mushrooms. He picked a basket of mushrooms and it took them twenty minutes to clean them all.
Afterwards, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and got two knives. She handed one to Xiao Li and said, "After clearing away the dirt and debris, we will trim off the hard or woody parts of the mushroom. Pay attention to the edges and bottom, as these areas may be fibrous."
"Oh, okay." Xiao Li nodded and started working according to Lu Jueyu's instructions.
It took them ten minutes to trim the mushrooms. When they were done, Lu Jueyu filled a basin with water to soak the mushrooms.
