Chapter 151: Spicy and sour shredded potato
He also heard that melon is poisonous . He heard that when an old couple ate melon, they were poisoned, there was also a family . Fortunately, they were treated early and their life was saved . But because of these incidents, no one dared to eat melon again .
Meng Nan looked at Bai Zhi and asked: “Do you know that melon is poisonous?”
Bai Zhi got up and went over to the basket of potatoes . From the basket, she picked up a sprouted potato, a turning greenish potato, and a fresh and smooth skin potato . Then, she put the three sample of potatoes together on the table .
“Meng Daren, take a look at these three melons . Although they are all melon, not all of them can be eaten . These greenish and sprouted melons are poisonous, you can’t eat it . But this fresh and smooth skin melon is delicious, you can make a dish out of this kind of melon . ”
Meng Nan doesn’t understand: “Why the greenish and sprouted melon become poisonous? What is the reason behind it?”
If she said that because the potatoes had already produced a large amount of solanine around this time, will he understand?
Bai Zhi organized her wording slightly, then sighed: “Because once the melon turns greenish and sprouted, they will produce toxins . Mild poisoning can cause vomiting and dizziness . Severe poisoning can cause difficulty in breathing which may lead to death . ”
Meng Nan asked again: “Since you know that melon can poison people, why do you still want to eat it? Why still take a risk?”
Bai Zhi answered: “Meng Daren everything has its two sides . The medicine that can treat and save people’s lives can also become poison once it’s not properly used . The point here is not whether this thing is poisonous, rather if the person who’s using it is good in it . ”
Meng Nan was stunned and suddenly had a realization . For an instance, a knife, in the eyes of some people, a knife is used to cut vegetables for cooking, but in some people’s eyes, it is a weapon that can kill people . Things are non-living objects, it doesn’t know what is good or bad . It is the people who can have a good or evil heart . Even good medicine can be used to kill people .
Meng Nan cuffed his hand and bow to Bai Zhi for her “teaching” . After that, he extended his chopsticks to picked up some spicy and sour shredded potato, but there was nothing left on the plate… …
While he and Bai Zhi discussing things about poison, Hu Feng and Jin Shiwei’s chopsticks didn’t stop .
Meng Nan glared at Jin Shiwei: “Didn’t you say that melon is poisonous and can’t be eaten? Why are you eating like a hungry ghost now?”
Jin Shiwei smiled and said: “Gongzi, the food tastes so good, so even if it is poisonous, I will eat it . ” Originally, he was just testing it for his young master, but as a result, he couldn’t stop to eat… …
Eat, eat, eat… …
Meng Nan then turned to face Hu Feng: “Hey, Bai Zhi hasn’t eaten yet, but you ate everything . Are you this uncultured?”
Hu Feng slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand and gracefully took a cloth towel to wipe his lips, then said: “She has already eaten . ”
Meng Nan looked at Bai Zhi again, and Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Yes, I have already eaten . Because there’s still something to eat from last night, I already ate . ”
Meng Nan looked at the empty plates on the table . He had only tasted a chopstick of melon, he hasn’t tasted the other one… …
He didn’t traveled for 30 miles to eat a bowl of porridge ah…
Seeing the injustice look in Meng Nan’s face, Bai Zhi wanted to laugh, but she couldn’t bear to do so . So, she said: “Why not stay for lunch? We still have some leftover leeks that I bought yesterday, we can eat dumplings . ”
