The episode discusses a wife's anxiety about undercooked chicken stemming from a past food poisoning incident.

Li Yang’s wife worries that the roast chicken they just ate might be undercooked. Soon She realises her fear might be coming from a past severe food poisoning incident, and jokingly considers never eating chicken again. ————————————————————————————————— 妻子：你觉得我们刚刚吃的那个烤鸡熟了吗？李阳：熟了吧？你觉得肚子不舒服吗？妻子：没有。就是问问。我吃的时候觉得鸡肉中间很软。李阳：别担心。那是腌过的鸡肉，煮熟了也很软的。你知道的。你这是心理作用。妻子：嗯，好吧。我多想了。哎，‘一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井绳’。就是我的那次非常严重的食物中毒害的，每次我在外面吃鸡肉都会担心。李阳：嗯，我知道。那次你的食物中毒是很严重，是救护车来抬你去医院急救的。妻子：别说了别说了。说起我就起鸡皮疙瘩。要不，我以后再也不吃鸡肉了吧。 ————————————————————————————————— If you’re enjoying this story, there’s so much more waiting for you inside maayot: ✅ Daily bite-sized stories that suit your level ✅ native audio ✅ Interactions with native for practice your speaking ✅ One tap Pinyin, explain in context for words and sentences ✅ Writing and speaking exercises with real person feedback ✅ Track your learning streak Not using these features yet?
