"My name is Bai Ling, and I live in Qianshan Village. After my eldest sister got married, there were still six people in the family. The family got an acre of land and three thatched houses. My father's legs were disabled and my mother was seriously ill. In the support of the villagers,
Despite the relief, we still had no food. On weekdays, our sisters dig wild vegetables and spear fish to fill our stomachs. Since I don’t have money to buy medicine for my mother, I came to the market today to sell fish to see if I can get some money.
"
Bai Ling told the situation at home honestly, and took out all the copper coins from selling fish today and showed it to his mother-in-law.
"I had no money to rent a stall, so I used a fish in exchange. When I was about to leave after selling the fish, an uncle took me away and asked me to cook fish for their old man. If I cooked it, I would be rewarded, but if I didn't do it well
He wouldn't let me waste my time, so I came over. You should know what happens next."
Bai Ling didn't need a word. Everything he said was witnessed by witnesses and could withstand investigation.
Grandma Hong nodded approvingly and looked at Bai Ling for a while. Seeing her calm expression, she believed her a little more.
In fact, Mrs. Qian immediately sent someone to investigate after the old lady became unwell.
Although Bai Ling's identity was not verified on the spot, he did find out from Bai Dashu. The answer of 70% true and 30% false was quite right with what Bai Ling said.
For other things, people from the market will naturally testify.
"After the old man ate the fish you cooked, he vomited, suffered abdominal pain, and suffered multiple bone pains. How do you explain this?" Grandma Hong looked at Bai Ling intently, waiting for her to explain clearly.
Feather eyelashes slightly drooped, Bai Ling was secretly glad that she had studied Chinese medicine for many years and knew a lot about health care and food, otherwise she would have been in trouble today.
"After the old man developed these symptoms, he should have asked a doctor for a consultation. Is it not poisoning?" Bai Ling asked.
Grandma Hong didn't understand why Bai Ling asked like this. She hesitated for a few breaths before nodding.
"The three dishes I cooked for the old lady used carp and fathead fish respectively. These two fish are prepared in your kitchen and are also common species on the market, so there can be no problems with the fish itself."
Bai Ling felt confident and explained:
"Foods are mutually reinforcing and incompatible. For example, carp cannot be eaten with dog meat, mung beans, chicken, Ophiopogon japonicus, etc. If eaten with pig liver and yam, there will be symptoms of vomiting and indigestion. Eat it with pumpkin, licorice, and purple leaves.
, symptoms of poisoning will also appear.”
"And for people who have gout, eating too much fish and shrimp can also cause the disease. Even if what I mentioned is not made into a dish or eaten together in a meal, the interval should not exceed two hours.
This situation will also happen if you eat more."
Grandma Hong's pupils shrank and she looked at Bai Ling speechless for a long time. She obviously didn't know this.
Seeing this, Bai Ling felt relieved and was sure that he had guessed correctly.
"For food poisoning, the best way is to induce vomiting. Drinking light salt water is very effective in inducing vomiting. You must vomit completely. Or you can excrete it with drugs, but you will suffer more. Although it will make the body feel a little uncomfortable, it will take a few days to recover.
I will recover soon. But for gout, in addition to paying attention to your diet, you can only ask a doctor for diagnosis and treatment." Bai Lingzangzhuo said.
Medical skills should not be taken lightly, and Bai Ling did not want to show off too much, lest it bring disaster to himself.
But Bai Ling was really unsure of what the Qian family would do to her if she didn't say anything.
After taking a deep look at Bai Ling, Grandma Hong nodded and said, "I will convey your words to Madam, and you two will stay in the woodshed tonight."
"Mommy Hong, walk slowly." Bai Ling smiled and waved her hand. After realizing that her actions were inappropriate, she grinned and raised a pair of small pear dimples, which was really sweet.
I don't know whether it was because of Bai Ling's smile or because she felt that Bai Ling had been wronged. After walking out of the woodshed, Grandma Hong ordered the maid who locked the door: "Get them a quilt and some steamed buns."
"Yes, Aunt Hong." The maid responded crisply.
Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief, bent down to help the kneeling Shaoyao up, and took a nap against the pile of firewood.
Trapped in jail, the only thing Bai Ling can do is to maintain his sanity and conserve his energy, so that he can escape intact.
At dawn the next day, the door of the woodshed was opened again.
The visitor was still Grandma Hong, but with a smile on her face, she knew that the old man was fine.
"Girl Bai Ling is a wonderful person. The method you mentioned is effective. Now the old man is much more comfortable. He just wants to eat the breakfast made by the cook who cooked the fish yesterday. Look at this..." Aunt Hong said with a smile on her face.
Make a look of embarrassment.
Yesterday, Bai Ling was locked up in the kitchen because of cooking. Today, she was asked to make breakfast. It was really not good.
And Grandma Hong didn’t believe that a little farm girl could make a decent breakfast.
"The old lady is auspicious and will prepare breakfast after Bai Ling washes up." Bai Ling said, then stood up and patted the dust on his body.
"Girl, what are you going to do this morning? I've asked people to prepare all the ingredients." Aunt Hong asked hurriedly, fearing to delay her master's meal time.
"Inducing vomiting will hurt your stomach, so you can only eat some food that is easy to digest. The kitchenette is quite complete, so I don't need to worry about it, Aunt Hong." Bailington paused for a moment, seemed to think of something, and vomited playfully.
She spat out her pink tongue and said, "Sister Shaoyao's eyes are swollen from crying. She probably won't be able to help me. I would also like to ask Grandma Hong to help me call a fire girl over so that we can hurry up."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Grandma Hong's face, and she understood that Bai Ling was afraid of being suspected again, but she didn't say anything.
"Your second uncle is in his room. You should go and take a look. You don't have to be on duty today." Grandma Hong turned sideways and gave an order to Shaoyao. She then called to the girl she brought and said, "Go and help Bai Ling."
, be smart with your hands and feet, don’t be lazy.”
"Yes." The girl responded immediately.
Bai Ling originally intended to ask Grandma Hong to send someone to monitor him so as to avoid trouble, so he didn't care who Grandma Hong ordered to come over.
Considering that the old man is old, he may not be able to induce vomiting completely.
Bai Ling cooked millet and red date porridge to nourish the stomach, and made a few side dishes to promote digestion and defecation, and then he was done.
However, if Bai Ling wants to leave the Qian Mansion, he needs Mrs. Qian's permission.
Bai Ling, who was no longer a suspect, was assigned to a vacant servant's room to rest, and had the same breakfast as the servants.
Although it was rough food, Bai Ling ate it with gusto and couldn't help but sigh.
"Alas!" Bai Ling sighed, looked at the empty bowl, turned around and squinted on the bed, and muttered: "I hope the old man can eat something so that I can go home, right? Mom's health is not good, this
Don't get sick in a hurry overnight. That girl Bai Wei probably scolded me many times, and there are two little guys..."
Bai Ling talked about her family members, but she didn't realize that she had regarded that poor family as her roots and truly emotionally accepted the relatives of the original owner.
But what Bai Ling couldn't guess was that Bai Wei was indeed cursing someone at this moment, but it was Old Lady Bai who came to ask for money early in the morning.
"If you've had enough trouble, get out of here! If my mother gets angry with you, I'll fight you right now!" Bai Wei's eyes were red and she held up a kitchen knife in her hand.
If Bai Sanshu hadn't grabbed Bai Wei's arm tightly, the kitchen knife would have chopped down on Mrs. Bai.
"You bad thing, do you dare to give me a knife? Even if you sell you, it won't be enough for me to see a doctor. You, a black-hearted thing, should be sold to a brothel. Thousands of people can ride on it."
Die early and be clean soon!" Although Mrs. Bai did not dare to step forward, she could see her son grabbing Bai Wei's arm and scolding her at the top of her voice. (To be continued)
