Chapter 7: Potatoes
After a while, two things were dug up.
Tang Xiaosu squatted down and pulled the mud off, revealing the true face of this thing-potatoes.
San Lang, who went to the forest to hunt birds, happened to see this scene, and said casually: "Little sister, that can't be eaten, it's poisonous." ”
"Toxic? This is obviously a potato, how can it be poisonous! Tang Xiaosu thought so in her heart, but she still asked again very cautiously: "Big brother, has anyone eaten this?" ”
"Well, a few years ago a rich merchant dug up these potatoes, thought they were a new food, and rushed to take them home to taste them, but he died that night, and no one has eaten them since." When it comes to the matter of life, San Lang seems to have a little more patience, and he explained the ins and outs of the matter to Tang Xiaosu in detail.
"Then do you know what that rich merchant ate, this thing shouldn't be poisoned!" Tang Xiaosu said he didn't believe it.
"It's nothing, but then I heard that the rich merchant was very fond of pomegranates, but those were all things that rich people eat." Saburo added this sentence.
When Tang Xiaosu heard this, he didn't know whether to mourn for the rich businessman or rejoice.
As a person who has traveled through the 21st century, Tang Xiaosu certainly knows that this potato cannot be eaten with pomegranates, because these two are mutually reinforcing, if you eat them together, you will be hospitalized, and at worst, you will be like that rich businessman, and you will die.
But this is not a problem for her to consider now, because pomegranates are something that they can't afford to eat.
"Big brother, come here, I have something to say to you." Tang Xiaosu waved at Saburo and said.
San Lang gave one of the house sparrows in his hand to Liulang, and said, "Little Liu, take this to your second brother and ask him to give you more food." ”
Rokuro took the thing and ran away.
Tang Xiaosu muttered in San Lang's ear for a while before he looked at the eldest brother who was stunned with a smile.
In fact, Tang Xiaosu didn't say anything, but just told San Lang that the potatoes could be eaten, but they couldn't be eaten with pomegranates, and they couldn't eat the ones with teeth.
And she also found a reason for herself that she thought was perfect: "I have stepped into the Hades Hall with one foot, and these are what others taught me on the road below." ”
After San Lang digested it for a while, he asked Tang Xiaosu, "How do you eat this potato?" "I actually believed Tang Xiaosu's reason, which sounded particularly ridiculous.
Tang Xiaosu just knew that the people here were 100% convinced of those ghosts and gods, so he made up such a reason.
"There are many ways to eat this potato, it can be fried, it can be stir-fried, it can be stewed in soup, and most importantly, it can be roasted." Tang Xiaosu did not hesitate to say all the potatoes he knew.
The more she listened to Tang Xiaosu, the brighter San Lang's eyes became, and by the time Tang Xiaosu finished speaking, San Lang had already taken the two big potatoes in her hand.
"I'll try it first, you can eat it in two days, no one wants this anyway." After Saburo finished speaking, he took two potatoes and went to the river to wash them.
Tang Xiaosu looked at San Lang's back, his eyes couldn't help but be hot, no one had ever cared about her like this in his previous life, but now, knowing that someone had eaten this poison, for her sake, her brother was still willing to risk his life to try this wild potato himself.
Saburo washed the potatoes and naturally took them to Shiro, who had already grilled the fish and was ready to extinguish the fire: "Roast this too!" ”
"Big brother, this is a potato, how can you let me bake this!" Shiro didn't know what Tang Xiaosu had just said to San Lang, and thought San Lang was hungry and crazy!
"Let you bake it, what so much nonsense." Saburo looked at Shiro impatiently and said.
"Big brother......." Shiro wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Tang Xiaosu: "Second brother, I asked my eldest brother to roast it." ”
"Little sister." Shiro's eyes were red, and there was a slight choking in his voice: "It's all because my brother is incompetent." ”
"Second brother, this is really not poisonous, the eldest brother has already told me about it, as long as potatoes are not eaten with pomegranates, people's lives will not be in danger." Tang Xiaosu had no choice but to repeat what he had just said to San Lang.
"Little sister, how do you know that potatoes can't be eaten with pomegranates." Shiro looked at Tang Xiaosu, who was different from the past, and said.
"Second brother, eldest brother, I know you will doubt me now, but now is not the time to say this, when we go home in the evening, we will call Shangniang, and I will explain the matter to you as it is." Tang Xiaosu had already thought of a good way, and was ready to solve all these doubts at once at night.
The baked potatoes wafted with a faint smell of food, and the stomachs of the four brothers and sisters who had already eaten some fish protested.
"Big brother, second brother, this potato is so fragrant, I can't miss this opportunity to fill my stomach."
