Jiang Xueying also knew that this was a little hard to accept, and advised earnestly.
"Everyone, trust me once. Just drink this and your current symptoms will be cured."
Seeing that her pleading was fruitless, the village chief next to her spoke up.
"If you want to regain your previous healthy body, just listen to the Ye family's wife this time. This poisoning is not a trivial matter. It is better to take medicine than to die of discomfort."
There were already quite a few people who supported the village chief. When they heard the village chief speak, they obviously believed that Jiang Xueying's medicine was effective. One of them was the first to step forward, hold up the bowl, close his eyes, make up his mind, and drink it down in one gulp, with a spirit of being ready to die.
"Since the village chief believes her, I believe her too."
In fact, the taste was not as disgusting as he imagined, but the choking taste came out of his stomach after drinking it. His chest felt stuffy and uncomfortable. He covered his mouth and ran out and started vomiting outside the door.
Seeing this, several people behind also stepped forward, raised their bowls and drank the water.
Not long after, the symptoms of the people who drank the water improved significantly after vomiting and diarrhea, but their faces turned pale. After all, the taste was too unbearable, so they never ate anything random again.
With the lessons learned from the previous cases of several people, the family members also instigated other villagers who were still unwilling to move.
"This medicine still has some effect, you guys should drink it quickly!"
Hearing is not as good as seeing. Now everyone rushed forward to drink the chicken manure water, and no one hesitated anymore.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Xueying finally breathed a sigh of relief. The problem was finally solved temporarily, but she still had many problems to solve.
The villagers recovered after taking the medicine, but the incident became a hot topic and the French fry business did not improve. As the saying goes, once bitten, one becomes afraid of the rope for ten years. No one dared to buy French fries anymore.
Jiang Xueying had expected this as she looked at the shop's dismal business in stark contrast to the past. She thought for a moment and decided that opening a shop now would be a waste of time anyway, so she might as well go home and do something more meaningful.
After returning to the village, she went to look for Qiao's company. Although the French fries business was not doing well now, potatoes were not limited to making French fries. There were many other things that she had not introduced yet. This was a good opportunity to give them a try.
Jiang Xueying already has a lot of ideas in her mind. Now she just needs to plant more potatoes. She can find a way to sell as many as she harvests. If her plan succeeds, the potato sales will only increase.
Mrs. Qiao looked at her with some worry, as she could only see the gains and losses in front of her. She did not have as many ideas as Jiang Xueying. She thought she could make a lot of money by making French fries with these potatoes, but after the poisoning incident, no one bought French fries. What should she do with these potatoes?
"Mrs. Jiang, why did you buy a few acres of land to grow potatoes? No one is buying French fries now, and your French fry shop can't open. What other ways do we have to sell potatoes?"
Jiang Xueying stared intently, not looking worried at all.
"Okay, Sister Qiao, just plant them with peace of mind. I have plenty of ways to sell these potatoes. Don't you still trust me?"
That's true. After following Jiang Xueying for some time, Qiao has almost understood what kind of person she is. She will never do anything without being sure of it. Anyway, there are much more things in her head than her.
After planting several acres of potatoes, Jiang Xueying began to wait for the harvest. Many villagers were surprised to see her planting so many acres of land, but they didn't know potatoes and were afraid of getting poisoned after eating them, so no one thought of taking the potatoes.
Finally, the potatoes were ripe. Jiang Xueying asked someone to carry boxes of potatoes back home. When the villagers saw this, they didn't know what she was trying to do. Could it be that she had come up with a new way to sell these potatoes?
What they didn't know was that Jiang Xueying was busy preparing a banquet at home at this moment.
Aren't people afraid of potatoes now? Then she wants to let everyone know that the potato delicacies from her hands cannot be poisonous. This is not the problem of the potatoes themselves. More importantly, she wants to popularize potatoes so that more people can know and understand potatoes. After all, the cost-effectiveness of potatoes is much higher than that of crops here.
A table full of delicious food was prepared. Except for a few cold dishes, the rest were made of potatoes. Jiang Xueying nodded with satisfaction and asked her two children to go to each household to notify them, but no one came after waiting for a long time.
The first person to arrive was the village chief. When he entered the house and looked at the delicious food on the table, he couldn't help but sniff greedily.
"Wife of the Ye family, your cooking skills are really unfathomable. These things look delicious."
Jiang Xueying smiled and asked the children to go to the village and tell them that the village chief was also here.
As the news spread, villagers flocked to her house in an endless stream. Jiang Xueying couldn't help but shook her head. It turned out that she still needed the celebrity effect!
"Dear villagers, I invited you all to the banquet today to thank you for taking care of my three children for so long. You can rest assured that these are all delicacies cooked by me personally. I will be responsible if anything goes wrong with the food. Everyone, hurry up and eat your chopsticks."
After she made such a joke, the villagers all laughed and no longer cared about anything. After all, no matter how brave Jiang Xueying was, she would never poison someone so openly. No matter how many heads she had, they would not be enough to chop off.
"Mm, delicious! I didn't expect that potatoes can be used to make so many delicious dishes. Even the ones in the restaurant can't compare to them!"
Seeing that the time had come, Jiang Xueying stood up with a glass of wine.
"Fellow villagers, I will definitely find the culprit for this potato poisoning incident. In fact, potatoes are very good food ingredients, and high-quality potatoes are even more scarce. The crops in our village can't be sold for much money, and can only barely sustain family expenses."
What she said was indeed the truth, and the village chief nodded as well. The vegetables grown in the village were indeed worthless and even unpalatable to eat.
"If you are willing to make money, I can take you along and teach you the planting and cultivation techniques for free. Don't worry about not having a sales channel. You just need to plant according to my method and I will buy the finished products."
It sounds like a good idea, and it guarantees production and sales, but scarcity makes things valuable. Is it really feasible for so many people to grow potatoes? What if they lose money?
Most of the villagers were hesitant, only a few stood up.
"Count me in! From today on, I will follow you, Jiang Xueying, to plant potatoes."
Jiang Xueying took a look and saw that they were the same people who stood up first when drinking chicken manure water that day.
Jiang Xueying did not force other villagers on this matter. Their cultural level was not even up to elementary school education, so they naturally did not understand how to do business and could not think long-term.
