Chapter 108: Fish and Chickens Eat Together
As soon as the silver hairpin fell into the small basket, Su Jiudong hurriedly shouted in surprise, and quickly grabbed the mouth of the basket to reach the small basket before Su Xingwang.
"Eh!" Su Jiudong deliberately crooked his feet, pretending not to stand firmly, and sat on the ground in a panic, taking this opportunity to shake the small basket with his hand, so that the silver hairpin dangled in the small basket, and fully contacted the big yellow croaker in the basket.
A lot of water and mucus spilled out from the cracks in the small basket, splashing on the ground and Su Jiudong's skirt, and the mucus and water splashed yellowish marks on the snow-white skirt.
"Eh! Jiu Dong'er, are you alright? Did you fall? Su Xingwang didn't care that two yellow croakers were turned out of the small basket, and hurriedly helped Su Jiudong up.
"I'm fine, it's just that the hairpin fell into this basket...... I'll take it out myself. Su Jiudong couldn't help but roll up a sleeve, put his hand into the basket and continued to rummage for a while, and finally rummaged through the silver hairpin.
The hairpins and pearl tassels were stained with water and mucus. The pearl tassels were glued together, and the silver-white silver hairpins were now graying.
Under the noses of Su Jiudong and Su Xingwang, the color of the head of the hairpin changed from light gray to dark gray after a while, and then quickly turned into the dark color of soy sauce.
Without waiting for Su Jiudong to speak, Su Xingwang took the lead in sighing regretfully: "Eh, such a beautiful hairpin, it's a pity......"
Seeing the good hairpin being destroyed, Su Xingwang felt a pain in his heart, thinking that the color and quality of this hairpin were so good, if it was converted into silver, it would definitely be worth a lot of money.
If Su Jiudong would give him this hairpin Su Xingwang, it would be a pity that he would be able to repay a lot of gambling money for him......
Su Jiudong approached Su Xingwang with a hairpin, looked at the hairpin in his hand, looked at Su Xingwang again, and asked in a trembling voice: "Third uncle, do you know that this is a silver hairpin?" ”
"I know, I know that I can recognize the things related to silver at a glance."
Su Xingwang's hippie smile responded, he has been mixing at the gambling table for a long time, and he has been in contact with many silver items in his hands every day, and he can tell the authenticity of silver and silver products at a glance.
"Third uncle, you misunderstood, I mean, silver needles can detect poison, and when they touch poison, they will change color and turn black."
"Now my silver hairpin has changed so dark...... The fish in your basket shouldn't be poisonous, right? ”
"What? Poisonous? Su Jiudong's remarks startled Su Xingwang, and he hurriedly grabbed the small basket and opened the yellow croaker inside to check it, muttering while checking: "Can't you...... Isn't this just an ordinary fish? How can it still be poisonous? ”
Su Xingwang took out all the big yellow croakers in the small basket, and several fish all fell to the ground, and the dead fish stared blankly in the direction of Su Xingwang.
"Third uncle, my hairpin is a genuine silver product, it can really test for drugs, even if I will lie to you, my silver hairpin will not lie to you, right?"
Su Jiudong took off the handkerchief on his waist and wiped the silver hairpin that had changed color after being stained with mucus a little.
In front of Su Xingwang, Su Jiudong took the part of the silver hairpin that had not turned black, inserted it into the belly of a fish on the ground and stirred it, and then took it out to wait for observation.
After a while, the originally clean silver hairpin part turned from light to dark, and turned into a dark soy sauce.
"Third uncle, it seems that these fish in your house are really poisonous...... Su Jiudong emphasized again.
Su Xingwang was silent for a while, swept all the fish on the ground into the small basket, and rushed to the main hall with the small basket and Su Jiudong.
As soon as Su Xingwang entered the main hall, he angrily threw the small basket on the square table, and asked Wang Baihe with his head and face: "Mother-in-law! I ask you, what's the matter with you fish? ”
Wen Yiheng was racking his brains at this time, using all his might to accompany Su Xiaoshan and Wang Baihe, from the jewelry shop in the county town to the tailor shop, and when he talked about the so-and-so shop, he had imported some new materials from the Western Regions, how to cut and match the best.
Wang Baihe and Su Xiaoshan were listening with relish, when they were interrupted by Su Xingwang, who broke in.
Wen Yiheng looked at the small basket on the table and the big yellow croaker that leaked out, and knew that Su Jiudong had finished her part of the "errand", and then nodded secretly to Su Jiudong, who came in with Su Xingwang.
"What's going on? What are you crazy about? Wang Baihe crossed her hands on her hips, and immediately scolded back: "It's not enough for you to go out to gamble all day long?!" What are you crazy about now? ”
"Am I going crazy? Why don't you look at you? Buying this poisonous fish back, is it going to poison our whole family?! ”
Su Xingwang heard that Wang Baihe disclosed his daily entry into the casino in front of "outsiders" like Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and he was about to slap Wang Baihe out of anger.
"Third uncle, if you have something to say, why bother doing so much for a few ordinary fish? Anger easily hurts the liver......"
Wen Yiheng stopped Su Xingwang's slap and persuaded the tense Su Xingwang and Wang Baihe to sit down and talk clearly.
"Third aunt, you don't know, I and Jiu Dong'er saw it in the kitchen just now, this fish is really poisonous!" Su Xingwang asked Su Jiudong to take out the silver hairpin, and in front of the people present, he tried the fish again, but the result was still poisonous in the fish. every day
"A-Niang, isn't this the fish you bought in the market street a few days ago?"
Su Xiaoshan recognized it at a glance, this was the big yellow croaker that Wang Lily bought back eight days ago.
However, the fish had spoiled and spoiled, and had been thrown into a small basket in the kitchen two days earlier, waiting to be thrown out with the rest of the garbage tomorrow night.
"Yes! At noon eight days ago, we just came back from Jiu Dong'er's medicinal restaurant, and your aunt disliked the lack of food in the medicinal restaurant, and then went to the market street to buy the fish, saying that she couldn't eat enough at noon, and she wanted to add food at night! ”
"Explain! You explain! Su Xingwang banged on the square table with his hands like thunder, and glared at Wang Baihe with angry eyes.
Now it was Wang Baihe's turn to be shocked, she picked up a fish in disbelief and looked through it carefully, muttering in her mouth: "Isn't this just the ordinary big yellow croaker bought in the market?" What poison can it be? ”
"What poison can poison you cruelly? I specially bought this poisonous fish and came back, saying that it was to add food to us, but in fact, I wanted the life of our whole family, right? Su Xingwang still blamed Wang Baihe.
Su Xingwang felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger, and continued to scold Wang Baihe and said: "It's all because the fish and meat you bought from this stinky woman are rotten, and even the chicken that night is not fragrant enough, no wonder I always feel a faint strange smell, but I didn't think that this fish is poisonous!" ”
Su Xingwang's unintentional revelation made Su Jiudong feel shocked.
As early as the Yuan Dynasty, Jia Ming wrote the "Dietary Instructions", which was recorded that chicken should not be eaten with carp, crucian carp, shrimp, soft-shelled turtle, etc.
Chicken is warm, while fish is cold, and eating them together can easily lead to dysentery.
Su Jiudong probably figured out the clues of food poisoning in the Su family's third room.
First of all, someone deliberately sold the yellow croaker mixed with the seven-poinsettia, which is not easy to detect with the naked eye, to Wang Lily. On the night when Wang Lily bought the fish home, she ate the fish and chicken together without knowing the situation.
In the case of poinsettia and fish and chicken eating together, the Su family's three rooms caused the disease and caused dysentery.
Although the doctor prescribed drugs for the treatment of dysentery, Sanfang also took medicine on time and in accordance with the amount every day, and cured the dysentery caused by eating fish and chickens, but did not solve the poison caused by poinsettias, so to this day, the people in Sanfang are still pale.
Su Jiudong understood it in his heart, and nodded confidently to Wen Yiheng.
Wang Baihe, who couldn't stand Su Xingwang's repeated scolding, finally took the case: "God testify!" The fish I bought that day was fresh, so how could I buy any stinky fish and rotten fish to cook and eat? ”
Su Jiudong interjected a sentence at the right time when Su Xingwang and Wang Baihe were scolding and pausing:
"Third uncle and third aunt, do you know that fish and chicken cannot be eaten together? If you eat it together, you will get dysentery......"
The room fell silent, and the people in the third room of the Su family all looked at Su Jiudong dumbfounded.
Su Jiudong continued to add: "The third uncle also said just now, these poisonous fish are not enough to fill your stomach after eating at noon in our medicinal restaurant in the third room, so you bought the ...... that Ai plans to add to the meal in the evening."
Su Jiudong asserted: "It seems that these poisoned fish and the chicken eaten together are the real source of food poisoning and dysentery in your three rooms." ”
Wang Baihe was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly explained: "Impossible! The fish vendor told me that day that it was freshly processed fish! ”
"I also looked through it at the time, and it was indeed a fresh fish that had just died, and it hadn't rotted or spoiled...... Why is this good fish poisonous? ”
Wang Lihe began to mumble again: "But these big yellow croakers do rot faster than ordinary fish meat......
Su Xingwang's face was full of disbelief, and he pointed at Wang Baihe and scolded again: "It's all your fault for being a greedy woman!" I bought this poisonous and perishable fish and came back to eat! ”
"Now it's good! It caused our whole family to have dysentery, and I didn't even get better after taking medicine for a few days! ”
Su Jiudong interrupted Su Xingwang's accusation and explained: "Third uncle, your fish and chicken were eaten together, which did cause dysentery, and the medicine for dysentery prescribed by the doctor for you should indeed be better after taking it for so many days." ”
"But now you still haven't seen any improvement, I think it's still the poison in the fish that is causing trouble."
A thought flashed through Su Xiaoshan's mind, and she stared at Su Jiudong vigilantly: "Sister Jiudong, this fish has long been spoiled and rotten, and we kept it in a small basket in the corner of the kitchen, and we plan to throw it away tomorrow night." How did you find out that this fish was poisonous? ”
"Doctors who have been practicing medicine for many years have not been able to find that this fish is poisonous. But today you found out as soon as you came, or from the garbage basket, it's really suspicious......" Su Xiaoshan meant something, and there was something in her words.
"Moreover, I seem to remember that Sister Jiudong, you usually have one or two wooden hairpins to pull your hair, and you rarely wear gold and silver jewelry, right? Why did you come to our house today and just bring a silver hairpin that can test out poison? ”
