"Aunt Dabao, you and your sister-in-law are only two women at home; you can't possibly eat all this. I’ll take half of it home, and give me those red mushrooms too—I’ll take them to dry. Dried ones taste better than fresh ones."
Mother Zhao had sharp eyes; she caught sight of the pheasant in the basket and her face lit up with surprise. "Oh, my! There’s a big pheasant in here too. Aunt Dabao, you really are something! Even a pheasant—you know they can fly, and an ordinary person could never catch one. Goodness, it's so big. You two sisters-in-law couldn't finish it anyway. I’ll take it back; it’ll make a perfect stew with the mushrooms to satisfy my youngest son's cravings."
As she spoke, she reached her hand into the basket to grab the pheasant.
