When Su Nanxing and Gu Jingmo came out of the tent, they found that many people in the camp suddenly started vomiting.
Some people also felt itchy and red all over their bodies, and the camp became chaotic in an instant.
Doctor Li and his little apprentice were busy all the time.
Su Nanxing and Gu Jingmo rushed over. Su Nanxing anxiously asked Su Mu, "Is this poisoned?"
Su Mu shook his head. "Doctor Li said it wasn't poisoning, but more like an allergy."
allergy?
Su Nanxing began to brainstorm. What are some things that have symptoms of allergy that cause itching all over the body and can also cause nausea and vomiting?
The village chief over there also led everyone to look for things that might cause allergies.
Soon, the village chief led everyone to find the things.
Because most of the people with symptoms are those who go out to pick wild vegetables.
The new things they came into contact with were relatively few, just the weeds that had just been dug up.
A bunch of wild vegetables were put together, and Su Nanxing saw something familiar at a glance - taro!
He looked at Gu Jingmo excitedly, but the other party didn't notice anything and looked over with some confusion, "What's wrong?"
"That looks like taro." Su Nanxing pointed at the taro and said, "And if you're allergic to taro, you'll experience itching and vomiting."
Gu Jingmo didn't know what taro was. When he cooked at home, he only came into contact with processed ingredients.
But he believed in Su Nanxing, "Let's try catching a living creature."
Su Nanxing nodded, and Gu Jingmo arranged for Lieutenant General Li to go find some living creatures.
Su Nanxing also came out and took out something that looked like taro. "This thing is very similar to the taro I ate overseas. If taro is not processed, it will make people itchy and vomit, but after processing, it can be eaten."
When they heard that they could eat, everyone looked over, and those who felt uncomfortable became much quieter.
The village chief then asked, "Who found this taro?"
Aunt Meihua, the village head's wife and the person in charge of digging wild vegetables, said: "When we were digging wild vegetables, we saw pheasants eating this, so we dug some and brought it back.
I thought, if pheasants can be eaten, then we humans can eat them too.”
Su Nanxing asked: "Can you still find the specific location?
The yield of taro is very high. If we dig up all of it, our village will no longer be short of food."
Everyone was excited to discuss it. Aunt Meihua had initially thought she was in trouble, but suddenly it seemed like she had done something great. "I know, I know. I still remember the location."
Su Nanxing emphasized: "Although taro can be eaten, it must be handled. Everyone should try to wear gloves when handling it.
As for how to process taro, I will teach you later."
Aunt Meihua quickly took people to dig taro. Under the temptation of food, allergies seemed unimportant.
At this time, Lieutenant General Li came back with a live chicken.
Su Nanxing began to teach everyone how to handle taro, "When touching taro, we must use something to separate us." Su Nanxing took out gloves and put them on. They were made for him by Aunt Qiuju when they were fleeing from famine.
"First clean the dirt off the surface, then peel it."
Water is too precious now, and Su Nanxing cannot wash with water, so she can only rub with her hands to remove the dirt.
Then he took out his dagger and started peeling.
"When peeling the taro, we must be careful not to get any mucus on it, as it can irritate the skin and cause itching."
As Su Nanxing spoke, she quickly peeled the skin.
Then cut the taro into pieces and soak it in clean water. "If we have enough time, we can soak it for a while, about a cup of tea.
Of course, if we want to eat it right away, we can just boil it in water.”
Su Nanxing put the taro into the iron pot, "After the water boils, cook it for about half a cup of tea.
Then you can eat it, either boiled directly, steamed, fried or stir-fried.”
Su Nanxing chose to cook it directly, and after it was cooked, he fed it to the pheasant.
All the villagers stared at the pheasant that had eaten the taro, fearing that something was wrong with the pheasant.
Fortunately, after a long time, the pheasants were all fine.
After the pheasant ate the taro and did not die immediately, the village chief took the villagers to dig taro.
You know what, because so many people went there, taro was found in other places.
It took us half a day to dig out all the taro.
Taro can be stored for a long time without being peeled. It is not resistant to low temperatures, and it happens to be winter now.
Of course, taro can be stored longer after being peeled and fried, or steamed.
Su Nanxing told all these to the villagers, and after trying the taste of taro, the villagers loved it very much.
Especially for the elderly and children, because of its soft and sweet texture.
It’s such a pity that I haven’t discovered such delicious food before!
However, taro can cause allergies, which is really scary.
No one would have thought that it can be eaten after peeling, and the taste is very good.
The villagers worked hard for a whole day and finally dug out and processed all the taro.
Su Nanxing also had a hearty meal of taro, and it was rare for other people in the village to have a full meal as well.
Especially some people who already have big appetites.
For example, Dashan was always half full before.
While fleeing famine, food was so precious that every family was only half full.
That is, children can eat their fill.
Some elderly people eat even less.
It is still in good condition now, it really has a strong vitality.
Su Nanxing didn't know about this situation because he was always able to eat his fill every time he ate at the Su family.
The Su family only had Dashan, who only ate half full because he really had a big appetite.
If he is allowed to eat all the time, the Su family’s food supply will not last for a few days.
Later, after Gu Jingmo appeared, he always ate at the Su family and also gave food to the Su family.
Dashan could eat more, but he was still not full.
There's nothing you can do about it, some people just can eat.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su were also very worried, but fortunately Su Mu and Xiao Zhuzi did not look like their father.
After having a full meal, Dashan hummed a song, and many people in the village looked much more relaxed.
The person who was tied up nearby looked at Taohua Village with envy in his eyes.
Qiu Wanli frowned as he looked at the happy Taohua Village.
He looked at Xu Wenshu, but Xu Wenshu still had his eyes closed and did not react.
Qiu Wanli felt that being captured by the people of Taohua Village might be a blessing.
I just don’t know if the route to Taohua Village will pass through Qingshi County?
If you pass by, should you remind them not to go to Qingshi County?
Qiu Wanli was a little hesitant and felt very confused.
Meanwhile, the people in Taohua Village were discussing whether they should go to the next county, Qingshi County.
Now there is no shortage of food or water in the village.
So it’s okay to go into the city, and it’s also okay not to go into the city.
But most people still think it is necessary to go into the city to find out the news.
After all, they have been fleeing from famine and have no idea about the news from the outside world.
Finally, everyone in Taohua Village decided to go to Qingshi County to take a look.
