Chapter 142 Toad asked him if the soup was delicious

Shen Zhi glanced at Eunuch Cao and asked, "Eunuch Cao, what funny thing has happened to you that makes you so happy?"

Eunuch Cao almost choked with laughter and said, "Well, haha, Ke Meng said that the toad in the sky talked to him and asked him if the soup he drank in the evening was delicious. He also told me that the toad had become a spirit and actually knew that he drank soup in the evening. Tell me, isn't that funny?"

Unexpectedly, Lord Sun next to him said with a serious face: "Don't tell me, this place is really weird. I heard someone knocking on the door just now, and it turned out to be a shoulder pole. The shoulder pole even invited me to his home for dinner. Isn't this a fantasy? The shoulder pole actually has a home."

Eunuch Cao was so surprised that before he could say anything, Liu Zhuangtou came running over in a panic.

"Lord Yixiang, there are some people here who are not doing well. Lord Jiang has been chasing our farm dog for some reason, and he kept yelling, 'Brother Dog, give me back my money.' Lord Li was drinking tea, but suddenly he said there were a lot of green puppies in his teacup. I just checked, and there was only green tea in the teacup. And how could such a small cup hold puppies?"

Eunuch Cao then realized something was wrong. Why did they all look like they were possessed by evil spirits? He hurriedly asked, "Are they poisoned? Have you called a doctor?"

Mr. Liu bowed and said, "In reply to your question, the doctor has examined Mr. Jiang and said that he seemed to have taken hallucinogenic drugs, but there was no poison in their food residues."

Shen Zhi listened to their conversation and probably knew the reason, so he asked, "What did you have for dinner today? Did you have any edible fungi?"

Eunuch Cao went to the town today and had dinner at Wangxian Tower in the town, so he didn't know what dinner the cook at Baiyun Villa had prepared for them today.

Liu Zhuangtou said, "Mother Lu seemed to be abnormal. She said that when she was cooking for the servants in the kitchen, the hen in the yard suddenly ran over and asked her to put more peppers in the pot. I just asked her about it. She said that when she was cooking for the adults in the evening, there was a mushroom that she had never seen before. She didn't know if it was cooked, so she tasted it and soon felt something was wrong."

Shen Zhi saw that there were indeed mushrooms, and knew that his guess was probably correct. So he said, "I'll go to the kitchen to see if there are any leftover mushrooms."

Eunuch Cao and his entourage immediately followed.

Mother Lu was sitting on a small stool in front of the stove talking to the chickens. When she saw Shen Zhi coming, she stood up and greeted him. Shen Zhi was quite surprised. How could she recognize the person next to her even though she had hallucinations?

"Is there any mushroom soup left from tonight?" Shen Zhi asked.

Mother Lu said, "Everyone says the mushroom soup is delicious, but there is none left. But there are still a few mushrooms. I saw that those were too dark in color, and I didn't know if they were rotten, so I threw them into the basket." After saying that, Mother Lu handed the basket to Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi's eyes lit up when he saw the mushroom. This was the green mushroom that sold for hundreds of yuan per pound in his previous life. Everyone knew that it was poisonous, but after tasting its deliciousness, they couldn't help but eat it. This mushroom tasted extremely delicious, but it had to be fried before eating, otherwise it would easily cause poisoning.

"Leave this mushroom for now. Village Chief Liu, go gather all the people who have hallucinations after eating mushrooms to the open space in front. Tell them to induce vomiting with warm water or salt water. Mother Lu, you have to induce vomiting as well. I'll go get the medicine, hurry up, and have the workers knock on the doors one by one and find them all."

Head of Liuzhuang looked serious and immediately sent someone down, and Eunuch Cao also asked the guards to go down to help.

Soon, Shen Zhi ran to the gathering place with the medicine. Many people here had already started to vomit after drinking warm water or saline. Some people had already developed symptoms of dizziness and nausea, and when they had almost vomited, Shen Zhi had already prepared the medicine and started to give them infusions one by one. There was no iron rack to hang the medicine here, so he just found a few trees and hung the medicine on the branches. It took more than half an hour to give everyone the injections. Looking at the densely packed people under these trees with medicine hanging on them, there was an inexplicable sense of humor.

Each person was given two bags of medicine before the injection was removed. Everyone's symptoms were relieved a lot, and many people regained consciousness and felt like they were alive again.

Shen Zhi repeatedly told them that they should be cautious when eating wild mushrooms, and never eat those they don't know, or they might even lose their lives. She also sang the song "Red Umbrellas and White Poles" for everyone.

Shen Zhi was still thinking about the few green lilies in the basket, so she secretly went to the kitchen. She had already looked up the relevant frying methods of the local residents in the place where the green lilies were produced, and learned how to stir-fry them with oil and put them on a plate after they were cooked.

At this time, Mother Lu brought Eunuch Cao and his group to the kitchen. They wanted to use these mushrooms as evidence to arrest the person who sold them. Unexpectedly, what shocked them was that Yixiangjun, knowing that it was poisonous, actually fried all the remaining mushrooms. I have to say, these mushrooms are really fragrant.

"Girl, why did you fry it yourself? Didn't you know that they all got poisoned after eating it?" Lord Sun asked in surprise.

Even Ke Meng was surprised. He still remembered the toad's expression when he talked to him. It turned out that they were all poisoned by eating the mushroom. Why did Yixiang Jun still eat it when he knew it was poisonous?

Shen Zhi smiled and asked, "Master Sun, you ate some too. Are these mushrooms fresh?"

Lord Sun was about to say that it was so delicious that his tongue would drop, but no matter how delicious it was, he couldn't eat it knowing that it was poisonous. So he said, "It is indeed delicious. Lord Ke drank two large bowls of it before talking to the toad. It's just that we didn't know it was poisonous before we ate it."

Shen Zhi said: "Everyone knows that pufferfish is poisonous, but it is a rare delicacy after being processed properly. The same is true for this fungus. It will be fine if it is fully fried. I will try it first, and if it is fine, you can try it too."

After Shen Zhi finished speaking, he couldn't wait to pick up a piece of green onion and put it in his mouth to eat it. It was so delicious.

Eunuch Cao handed her a pair of chopsticks, and she quickly picked up another chopstick. It was the first time Shen Zhi had tasted such delicious food, and she couldn't stop eating. While eating, she didn't forget to ask Eunuch Cao to eat.

Eunuch Cao knew that Shen Zhi was so capable, he could cook and practice medicine, and what he said just now was very logical, so there would definitely be no problem. Just now everyone said that the mushrooms were delicious, wouldn't it be a big loss if he didn't try them himself? Eunuch Cao then took a pair of chopsticks and sat down.

"Girl, is it really okay? Will I see a toad after eating it?" Eunuch Cao asked again before eating.

Shen Zhi took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and said to the people standing behind him, "If there is anything wrong with either of us later, just give each of us a pill."

Seeing that Shen Zhi had even thought of a way out, Eunuch Cao was no longer afraid and also took a piece of mushroom with chopsticks and put it into his mouth to chew it carefully. It was delicious, really delicious. But he didn't expect that the accident happened after he took a bite.
