Chapter 21 Testing

The fruit looked very plump, and when I broke one of them with my hand, I didn't want to think that there was a lot of juice inside. The flesh was very firm, and only a little mist splashed on the broken part, and suddenly the whole nasal cavity was filled with a stimulating aroma.

Lian Yue asked carefully, it turned out that the little cub thought this was an edible fruit, and stuffed a large string into his mouth at once, but the whole mouth was swollen and painful, which lasted for a long time, and even then the mouth was bleeding, and he didn't eat for several days.

It was Hilda the priest who found an herb to stop its swelling and pain, otherwise the little cub would have starved to death if he didn't die of pain.

Hearing such a description, Lian Yue felt more and more that this poisonous red fruit was likely to be a more irritating spice, and it was not eaten as a fruit, and if you eat so much at once, there will definitely be some adverse reactions.

Just like the tomato in the lunar plane, originally grown in Peru and Mexico, it is a wild berry that grows in the forest, and the locals call it "wolf peach", believing that it is a poisonous fruit that is only used for ornamentation and no one dares to eat it.

It is even said that wolf peaches are poisonous and will cause lumps when eaten. So although it grows tender and delicious, people still respect it as if it were a highly poisonous mushroom with a delicate color.

And in fact, are tomatoes really poisonous?

According to modern pharmacological research, incomplete tomatoes contain a toxin called solanine, which has strong thermal stability and will not decompose until it is above 285 °C, but the general cooking conditions cannot reach such a temperature, so even if it is cooked, it is not suitable for consumption.

This toxin, when ingested in large quantities in a short period of time, often causes poisoning, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, salivation, fever, and even life-threatening.

In addition to solanine in unripe tomatoes, the sprouted parts of potatoes and raw eggplants contain a certain amount of solanine.

So, even some of our common foods, there will be such toxic substances at times. Lian Yue felt that this poisonous red fruit could also be picked to study to see if it was the plant that he expected to be used as a spice.

......

Of course, Lian Yue, who cherishes his life, will definitely not directly follow Shennong's example, and will definitely find a few small animals to test it to see if this poisonous red fruit is really as powerful as Mei Mi said.

Seeing that Lian Yue couldn't be persuaded by Lian Yue, Mei Mi still helped pick the poisonous red fruit, but secretly made up her mind that she must be optimistic about Lian Yue next, and she couldn't let her really send the poisonous red fruit to her mouth.

However, in case you really can't persuade her, you have to prepare the herbs for detoxification, and you must hand her the herbs in time.

Lian Yue naturally didn't know what Meimi was thinking in her head, so she naturally instructed a few little cubs to help pick the fruit, and if she was flexible, she would go up the tree to pick it, and if she couldn't climb the tree, she would pick it up at the bottom.

When I went back in the next month, I divided the poisonous red fruit I picked into two halves, one part of which was not treated in any way, only one fruit was selected and mashed directly, and the other part was put in the sun to be exposed.

Another man went to the forest and caught two hedgehog beasts, not to mention that they really looked like mice, but there were many small spines on their backs, but they were different from those of hedgehogs.

Tie it to the side with a bark rope and prepare it for experimentation when the time comes.

First of all, the fruit that was directly mashed, Lian Yue only dipped it a little with a thin wooden branch, sniffed it, there was a strong spicy fragrance, Lian Yue put a little bit on the back of his left hand, and dipped a little juice into the mouth of a spiny rat beast.

At first, the little beast didn't react, but within two seconds, I saw that the little beast kept sticking out its tongue, and the rope tied around its neck seemed to be a little unable to tie it, jumping up and down, and even its expression was a little distorted.

"Meow..."King Meow was originally looking the side, but when he saw the reaction of the little beast, he jumped far away all of a sudden, even with his little friends, and the whole scene was full of chickens and dogs.

"Meimi, help me get some water." In order to verify the idea in his heart, Lian Yue is going to feed the little beast some water to see.

Meimi was relieved, as long as she didn't put it in her mouth for a long time, it would be easy to say anything, and she hurriedly ran to the river to fetch water.

......

When night fell, the hunting squads returned from hunting, and the women of the tribe were busy.

When the little cubs were a little impatient to mess around the village, King Meow was still full of curiosity and Meimi, staying aside and carefully observing Lianyue's experiment.

At this time, Lian Yue had already used a large bunch of poisonous red fruits, and there were more than a dozen of them, and the two little beasts had swollen mouths, heavy breath, red eyes, and looked like they had collapsed to the point that they couldn't stand up.

In the process, Lian Yue did not let Mei Mi use the detoxification herbs, and the two little beasts only collapsed, and the whole mental state was still very normal, and Lian Yue said that he was very satisfied with the experiment.

It seemed that he couldn't wait, and Lian Yue also slightly dipped a little juice of the poisonous red fruit, put it on his tongue and licked it.

"Ah Yue..."Mei Mi on the side opened her eyes wide, and a hand reached out to Lian Yue as if she wanted to hold her, but she didn't have time to react.

Suddenly, a familiar but richer taste exploded in the mouth, and the tip of the tongue first felt numb and dull, and then, from the tip of the tongue, a hot and spicy sensation spread to the entire mouth.

This is the taste of both chili pepper and peppercorn, and the level is richer, coupled with the unique warmth of the animals and plants of the orc plane, along with the juice of this poisonous red fruit, it entered Lian Yue's mouth, ignited her soul, and her entire face lit up.

King Meow stood up, his blue eyes staring straight at Lian Yue's expression.

"Ah Yue, you chew two mouthfuls of snake tumbleweed." Meimi didn't even rush to drag her, so she had to grab a snake tumble in her hand, wanting to use it to detoxify her.

Lian Yue wanted to explain, but seeing that Meimi's face was full of anxiety and worry, she had to take the snake in her hand first.

Only then did he explain to her that he was not impulsive, but had tested it on the little beast, and saw that their reaction was very similar to a kind of ingredient that he had heard by chance in his hometown, that is, it was particularly stimulating, and ordinary people could not accept this taste, so there would be a swollen mouth and even stimulate the transition to faint and die.

Seeing that Meimi didn't believe it, Lian Yue had to wipe a little on her hand and let her feel it with her skin.

Memi couldn't resist her, so she had to listen to her and feel the touch in her hands.

"I don't feel it."

"There's a little bit of a prickly prickly now."

"This piece is all prickly, and it's getting more and more obvious." Meimi, who has never eaten chili peppers and tasted spicy, naturally does not know how to describe the hot and spicy feeling, and can only describe it with the most primitive pain feeling, and only feels a tingling sensation on the skin.

"And now?" Lian Yue wiped some water on her hand and nodded for her to continue feeling.

"It's a little cool, it's not so tingling." Meimi frowned and felt it carefully, and said to Lian Yue with her head down.

King Meow seemed to feel that squatting on the ground was not enjoyable, so he took a leap and jumped onto Lian Yue's shoulder, and turned his head with Lian Yue to observe the slightly red skin on Meimi's hands.

"I only had to feel a little stinging after a while, and I seemed to be better when I rubbed it." Memy said again after a while.

After about ten minutes, Memi gradually said that she didn't feel the stinging anymore.

Perhaps the incomplete body is born with a different wisdom and desire to explore, after experiencing this stinging sensation firsthand, Meimi also learned the appearance of Lianyue, and dipped a small point in her mouth and tasted it.

She didn't speak, just felt it carefully, but her expression at the beginning was really not good-looking, probably the first time she tried such a pungent taste, and her mouth was too sensitive.

"Ah Yue, why do you want to eat such strange food?" Meimi was curious, why would anyone want to eat such a food that would only give people a strange bad feeling?

Even in the winter when there is a shortage of food, if she can survive the winter by eating this, Meimi is a little reluctant in her heart.

"Ahh

The little guy who was going to learn how to try the poisonous red fruit for the two of them smelled such a pungent smell up close, and suddenly jumped far away.

looked at the two of them with strange eyes, as if they didn't understand, obviously seeing that those little beasts looked like this, they still wanted to try this poisonous red fruit, the taste was so exciting, it was not delicious at all.
