Godly Farmer Doctor: Arrogant Husband, Can't Afford To Offend! Chapter 151

He also heard that melon is poisonous. He heard that when an old couple ate melon, they were poisoned, there was also a family. Fortunately, they were treated early and their life was saved. But because of these incidents, no one dared to eat melon again.

Meng Nan looked at Bai Zhi and asked: “Do you know that melon is poisonous?”

Bai Zhi got up and went over to the basket of potatoes. From the basket, she picked up a sprouted potato, a turning greenish potato, and a fresh and smooth skin potato. Then, she put the three sample of potatoes together on the table.

“Meng Daren, take a look at these three melons. Although they are all melon, not all of them can be eaten. These greenish and sprouted melons are poisonous, you can’t eat it. But this fresh and smooth skin melon is delicious, you can make a dish out of this kind of melon.”

Meng Nan doesn’t understand: “Why the greenish and sprouted melon become poisonous? What is the reason behind it?”

If she said that because the potatoes had already produced a large amount of solanine around this time, will he understand?

Bai Zhi organized her wording slightly, then sighed: “Because once the melon turns greenish and sprouted, they will produce toxins. Mild poisoning can cause vomiting and dizziness. Severe poisoning can cause difficulty in breathing which may lead to death.”

Meng Nan asked again: “Since you know that melon can poison people, why do you still want to eat it? Why still take a risk?”

Bai Zhi answered: “Meng Daren everything has its two sides. The medicine that can treat and save people’s lives can also become poison once it’s not properly used. The point here is not whether this thing is poisonous, rather if the person who’s using it is good in it.”

Meng Nan was stunned and suddenly had a realization. For an instance, a knife, in the eyes of some people, a knife is used to cut vegetables for cooking, but in some people’s eyes, it is a weapon that can kill people. Things are non-living objects, it doesn’t know what is good or bad. It is the people who can have a good or evil heart. Even good medicine can be used to kill people.

Meng Nan cuffed his hand and bow to Bai Zhi for her “teaching”. After that, he extended his chopsticks to picked up some spicy and sour shredded potato, but there was nothing left on the plate… …

While he and Bai Zhi discussing things about poison, Hu Feng and Jin s.h.i.+wei’s chopsticks didn’t stop.

Meng Nan glared at Jin s.h.i.+wei: “Didn’t you say that melon is poisonous and can’t be eaten? Why are you eating like a hungry ghost now?”

Jin s.h.i.+wei smiled and said: “Gongzi, the food tastes so good, so even if it is poisonous, I will eat it.” Originally, he was just testing it for his young master, but as a result, he couldn’t stop to eat… …

Eat, eat, eat… …

Meng Nan then turned to face Hu Feng: “Hey, Bai Zhi hasn’t eaten yet, but you ate everything. Are you this uncultured?”

Hu Feng slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand and gracefully took a cloth towel to wipe his lips, then said: “She has already eaten.”

Meng Nan looked at Bai Zhi again, and Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Yes, I have already eaten. Because there’s still something to eat from last night, I already ate.”

Meng Nan looked at the empty plates on the table. He had only tasted a chopstick of melon, he hasn’t tasted the other one… …

He didn’t traveled for 30 miles to eat a bowl of porridge ah…

Seeing the injustice look in Meng Nan’s face, Bai Zhi wanted to laugh, but she couldn’t bear to do so. So, she said: “Why not stay for lunch? We still have some leftover leeks that I bought yesterday, we can eat dumplings.”
