Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine
Chapter 64 Test the poison with yourself
As soon as the news came out, it was like water dripping into a frying pan, and the crowd exploded instantly. They never expected that the food they had finally obtained was poisonous.
They looked at their potatoes with horror on their faces, and then their eyes rotated back and forth between Yao Shu and Zhao Liangtian.
They didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of them. On the one hand, they were afraid that the potatoes were really poisonous, but on the other hand, they were reluctant to give up the rations they had obtained. If they couldn't get food, they would really starve to death.
"Zhao Liangtian, don't talk nonsense. You can't do this just because you have a estrangement with the Shen family. Everyone is looking forward to this piece of food."
The village chief immediately scolded Zhao Liangtian. Because of the previous grievances between the two families, he suspected that Zhao Liangtian was making up nonsense. In his opinion, no matter what, Yao Shu would not do anything to harm the entire village.
His words gave everyone a glimmer of hope that things might not be so bad after all.
"Believe it or not, you will know whether what I said is true or false when your life is on the line."
Zhao Liangtian threw the potatoes on the ground angrily.
"I don't know if you are possessed by evil spirits. You all obey Yao's words like this. She is just a shrew. What can she know?"
At this moment, he vented all his suppressed emotions. Thanks to his good intentions, he was still suspected in the end. It's no wonder that he was so angry.
What Zhao Liangtian said was true. Their family had no food left, so they picked up a lot of potatoes. Unexpectedly, after washing them, they realized that they were inedible. This made him angry. No, after hope is shattered, there will be deeper despair.
Seeing that Zhao Liangtian didn't look like he was lying, everyone began to feel uneasy. Could what the other party said be true?
Everyone looked at each other several times, and it didn't take long before someone couldn't help but ask.
"Auntie, are you sure these potatoes are really edible? You can't mistake what you put in your mouth."
"That's right, you can't be wrong at all."
They all wanted to hear Yao Shu's explanation and didn't want their joy to be in vain.
Even the Shen family members felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many pairs of eyes. They also looked at Yao Shu, inevitably worried about whether the potatoes were edible.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Yao Shu didn't feel any guilty or short of breath. She was 100% sure that the potatoes were edible, and she wouldn't even admit that she was wrong.
"Boss, since Zhao Liangtian doesn't want them, go and pick up the potatoes, and our family can get more food."
She had already answered by saying this.
"Hey, I'll go right away."
Seeing what she said, Shen Qiu had no doubt at all. He immediately walked to Zhao Liangtian and picked up the potatoes as she said. Not to mention there were quite a lot of potatoes.
"Who asked you to pick it up!"
Zhao Liangtian looked suspicious. He firmly believed that potatoes were poisonous, but seeing the Shen family's behavior, he was afraid of giving them an advantage.
"Don't you want it? It's not good to waste food in vain. Our family is not afraid of being poisoned, so don't worry."
"Brother is right, even if something happens to you, we won't trouble you."
Shen He also came to help, and the two of them sang in harmony, leaving Zhao Liangtian speechless.
Yao Shu's eyes swept over everyone, and she could detect everyone's hesitation and hesitation. Thinking about it, based on her one-sided words, and what Zhao Liangtian said again, it was normal for everyone to be suspicious.
It is very simple to solve this problem, she said to the village chief.
"Village chief, let's start our journey later. We have been busy for so long and our family hasn't eaten yet. With these potatoes, everyone can fill their stomachs."
She was really hungry, Yao Shu's belly was flat.
If it had been in the past, no one would have complained about the Shen family's busy schedule, which would have delayed everyone's schedule. But now no one objects. They all want to see the Shen family being the first to try eating potatoes.
It would be great if someone could test the poison.
Yao Shu buried the potatoes in the fire. She stared at the fire keenly and even drooled without any hope.
It's just that her life has been too hard recently, and her demands have been lowered again and again. Now, even a baked potato can satisfy her.
While waiting for the potatoes to mature, Shen Nanshan inquired curiously.
"Old lady, how do you know these potatoes are edible?"
In the area where they lived, potatoes had never been seen. To be precise, they had never been on the dining table. So how did Yao Shu know this?
Everyone is curious, but his curiosity made Yao Shu quite troubled. It was not easy to explain, and she was afraid that she would accidentally reveal her fault.
"Why do you ask so many people? I've seen others eat it."
She replied pretending to be impatient, and Shen Nanshan immediately stopped asking.
Gradually, the aroma wafted out from the fire. This aroma was extremely attractive. For Yao Shu, who had eaten wild vegetables for several days, it was as tempting as delicacies from the mountains and the sea.
"Gululu."
There was a loud movement, and Yao Shu subconsciously covered her stomach. Then she realized that the movement was not from her, but from the Shen family beside her.
Shen Fugui swallowed in embarrassment.
"Mom, can I eat now?"
"Let me see."
Yao Shu wasn't sure, so she used a wooden stick to pull out the potatoes and pinched them. She found that they were still a little hard, so she buried the potatoes back again.
"We'll have to wait a little longer."
"Can you let me have a taste first?"
Shen Bei couldn't suppress the greed in his body. He was really too hungry. He could eat this unfamiliar food first. It was already so delicious.
Not only did he want to eat, everyone in Dahe Village was also looking at it eagerly. No one could resist the smell. Although they had already eaten, they were not full at all. The food was so soupy and watery. What can it be used for?
Some people even started to light a fire, and they also had potatoes.
"If you are in a hurry and can't eat hot tofu, don't even think about it. If the potatoes are undercooked, something will happen if you eat them. Not only can't you eat undercooked ones, but you can't eat those that have sprouted and turned green."
Yao Shu said very seriously.
She was afraid that one of the Shen family members would be careless and eat the potatoes directly. If something happened, they wouldn't be able to find a doctor to save their lives.
"Boss, go tell the village chief about this and ask him to tell everyone."
She almost forgot about it.
It didn't take long for the potatoes to be completely cooked. Yao Shu didn't care about burning them. After pulling the potatoes out, she started peeling them and started eating. The familiar taste filled the cavity, and Yao Shu narrowed her eyes in comfort.
There were a lot of potatoes, and this time, the Shen family had a rare meal.
