Chapter 146 146 Blue Wisteria?
Xia Tian understood Si Ye. He asked this question out of concern for her. She also realized that she was indeed a little excited just now.
After all, food for the winter has always been a big problem. If this "purple sweet potato" is really edible, it will solve the most difficult problem at the moment. How can she not be happy?
But if the food is poisonous, it will not only fail to solve the problem of food storage, but it may also cost people their lives.
So, no matter how excited you are, make bold assumptions, but be careful to verify them.
The verification of food toxicity generally uses small animals. By controlling different intake amounts, the reactions of the small animals are observed and the effects on humans are inferred.
This process takes a relatively long time and requires careful observation, which is not convenient in the wild, so Xia Tian took enough samples and decided to go back with Si Ye first.
At that moment, some people in the live broadcast room also recognized this "devil grass" and "purple sweet potato".
[This, this, this, isn't this the blue wisteria that overran Menggada a few years ago? I heard the Interstellar Federation even dispatched special forces.]
[I found out too! The sap of the blue wisteria has anesthetic properties, and after mutating, it will actively attack mechas. It's terrifying!!!]
[But Xia Xia's place is much smaller, so it shouldn't be that scary, right?]
Blue wisteria?
As soon as Xia Tian stepped into the cave, she discovered this new term.
It is a blue-purple vine, so it is called blue purple vine. The naming ability is really... I don’t know whether to say it is simple and crude or just direct?
But they heard that the juice of this vine has anesthetic properties, which is similar to what she guessed. Could it be that they are really the same plant?
"How are you going to do the experiment?" Si Ye changed back to human form from beast form and put down the small package containing "devil grass" on his back.
On the way back, Xia Tian had already told him about her idea of "doing an experiment", but she didn't have time to explain it in detail before they got home.
Xia Tian half-knelt on the ground, opened the package of blue wisteria leaves, thought for a moment, and pointed towards the cave entrance, "Let's just... catch two rabbits."
Rabbits are common in places like this, so two of them can be used as a control group and compared together to compare the results.
Si Ye obediently went out to catch rabbits, while she stayed in the cave to sort out the raw materials and prepare for the experiment.
[What is the anchor doing? Catching rabbits?]
Didn't you listen carefully before? They're going to do an experiment, probably to test the toxicity of blue wisteria.
[Why would you bother testing the toxicity of blue wisteria? Everyone knows it can cause anesthesia.]
If I'm not mistaken, Xia Xia seems to want to...eat the roots of the blue wisteria???
Xia Tian really wanted to eat the roots of blue wisteria.
As long as she confirms that this "purple sweet potato" is not poisonous, she will not only eat it, but also eat it every day. She may even domesticate and cultivate it in the future...
But she is not sure whether there is any poison in it, and if so, what kind of poison it is, so she can only try them one by one.
There are many types of toxins in plants, some of which are even more terrifying than the venom of animals such as poisonous snakes.
No matter how scary the venom is, it is still protein. Once it is heated and denatured, it becomes no different from eating chicken. Therefore, as long as you eat it cooked, there will be no danger.
However, many toxins in plants cannot be destroyed by high temperatures, and conventional cooking methods cannot detoxify them at all.
Moreover, most plant toxins are neurotoxins that act directly on the brain and nervous system. Even if timely treatment is provided after accidental ingestion in modern times, it is easy to leave sequelae.
