The White-haired Queen

"Wow! It's a potato!" But these potatoes have turned green and have sprouted, and the sprouts are half a meter high.

Wen Lanyue immediately asked the imperial physician in the small room, "Doctor Li, where did these potatoes come from?"

Doctor Li looked up and saw that it was the Empress Dowager. Just as he was about to pay his respects, Wen Lanyue quickly waved her hand and said, "No need..."

At this time, Hong He ran over breathlessly, interrupted Wen Lanyue's words, and said, "Miss, Miss, you are walking too fast."

Wen Lanyue said, "Didn't I tell you, Xizi and Taohua to rest?"

Hong He said, "The general is busy, and the young lady is alone. There are so many people here, and they are so mixed. I am afraid they will hurt the young lady."

Wen Lanyue said: "It's okay, I'm just walking around the base, you can hear me if I shout."

Hong He said, "Miss, let Hong He accompany you."

Wen Lanyue said, "Okay, follow me if you want, but don't chirp like a bird."

Hong He said, "I know, my lady, if you don't ask Hong He, Hong He won't speak, okay?"

Wen Lanyue smiled and said, "Then you must do what you say."

Doctor Li looked at the two of them, bowed and said, "Reporting to the Queen Mother..."

Hong He said, "Doctor Li, you are welcome. This is my daughter. Please tell me what you want to say."

Doctor Li said, "Miss, these are what a child accidentally ate a few days ago. I will throw them away right now."

Wen Lanyue said: "Don't worry about throwing it away. Are there many of these things in Heishui Mountain?"

Doctor Li said, "The child's mother said quite a lot."

Wen Lanyue said happily: "More is better, more is better, more means we can be saved."

Doctor Li asked, "This thing is poisonous. The child will have vomiting and diarrhea after eating it. What use is this? What can it do?"

Wen Lanyue said: "The only food that can be eaten is potatoes. Whether the food problem in Heishui Mountain can be solved depends on them."

When Doctor Li heard this, his scalp went numb. He said, "I saw it with my own eyes. The child ate these things and had vomiting and diarrhea. I am sure he was poisoned."

Wen Lanyue nodded and said, "I know. I'm sure you didn't make a mistake in your diagnosis."

Doctor Li asked in confusion: "If that's the case, then why did you say it's edible?"

Wen Lanyue said: "Potatoes that have turned green and sprouted are poisonous if eaten. Potatoes that have neither turned green nor sprouted are edible."

Doctor Li understood what Wen Lanyue meant, but he was even more confused. If it sprouted, it couldn't be eaten; if it didn't sprout, it could be eaten. What was this? So he said, "Because the child accidentally ate this thing, I asked his parents to dispose of it, but I don't know if they did."

Wen Lanyue said: "Take me to see it."

Doctor Li went in to settle things down, then took Wen Lanyue to the big bunk bed where the little boy lived.

The little boy's father had just come back and when he saw Doctor Li bringing a girl in, he hurriedly offered him his seat.

After the two explained their purpose, the little boy's father said, "I have found a place to bury all the things I dug up. I am afraid that the children will be poisoned if they eat them by mistake."

Wen Lanyue said: "Where did you find them? Take us to see them."

The little boy's father was walking in front, and the curious people were following behind. After walking for about half an hour, Wen Lanyue noticed that the potato leaves were green and growing well. She believed that the fruits below must be many and big.

I couldn't help but say excitedly: "Dig it up quickly, dig it up quickly, we will have a big potato dinner tonight."

Honghe rolled up her sleeves and prepared to work, while the others looked at each other and no one took any action.

Wen Lanyue was stunned for a moment, then said, "Dig!" Still no one took action, but everyone started talking about it.

Someone said: "No way! This thing is poisonous, and you eat it at night."

Someone said: "What's going on? Are they going to have a mass poisoning?"

Some people said: "Is there something wrong with this woman's brain?"

Some people said: "Xiaopang is not fat at all, and he lost two or three pounds because of the poisoning. How can he eat this?"

Someone said, "Yeah, yeah. The fat guy was starving a while ago, and he was poisoned a few days ago. He has lost a lot of weight."

Someone said: "If you want to be poisoned, don't drag everyone else into it."

……

At this time, Doctor Li also rolled up his sleeves and prepared to dig. Others didn't know that she was the empress dowager, but she knew it, so how could she not obey her superior?

When Xiaopang's father saw that Doctor Li had also rolled up his sleeves, he quickly ran over and said, "Doctor Li, take a rest. I'll do this job."

Wen Lanyue saw this and said, "Okay, then you can do it. Everyone has doubts. You don't need to dig too many. Just dig about ten."

Xiaopang's father grabbed the potatoes and pulled them up. The fruits came out with mud. Then he shook off the soil and picked all the fruits off.

The discussions below never stopped.

Someone asked, "What did the lady call this fruit?"

Someone answered: "The lady said it was potatoes at one moment and potatoes at another. I don't know what it is called."

Someone said: "Look at the fruits that Xiaopang's father pulled out. They are really big and round."

Someone said: "It grows so well and bears so many fruits, it would be great if we could really eat it."

Someone said, "Yes, it would be nice if we could eat it. There's a large piece of it over there."

Someone said: "How can it be eaten? A few days ago, Xiaopang was poisoned."

Someone said: "Yes, with the poisoning risk in front of us, who would dare to eat it?"

Someone said: "I seem to have seen this thing in my hometown."

……

Wen Lanyue listened to them quietly.

Xiaopang's father handed the potatoes to Wen Lanyue. Honghe took them and said, "Miss, let's go."

Wen Lanyue said: "Okay, let's make potatoes."

The group followed them to the collective kitchen.

At this time, Defu also came back. Under his arrangement, everyone started working according to Wen Lanyue's requirements, some cleaning, some peeling, and some lighting the fire.

Some are responsible for shredding, some for slicing, some for dicing, some for steaming, and some for mashing...

After a while, several dishes of potato dishes were served, including spicy and sour potato shreds, fried potato chips, braised potato cubes, golden sand mashed potatoes...

These potato dishes were golden in color and looked delicious, but no one picked up their chopsticks. Wen Lanyue asked, "Don't you all want to try them?"

No one answered, so Wen Lanyue said, "Then I'll taste it myself first."

Doctor Li immediately stopped her, saying, "Miss, you can't do that!"

Defu and Honghe said in unison: "Miss, let me try first."

Wen Lanyue waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I can do it myself."

Doctor Li, Defu, and Honghe were anxious to kneel down. Seeing this, Wen Lanyue immediately said, "Okay, I won't try it. Then Defu, you try it."

De Fu took the chopsticks, took a bite of fried potato chips, and started eating. His eyes were wide open with an expression of disbelief. "This thing is so delicious. It's better than any food I've ever eaten. I think this is what it means to leave a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth."

Seeing how intoxicated Defu was, the others couldn't help but want to give it a try as well.
