Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 144 - 143: Roast Session

If one case of food poisoning is coincidental, two cases are accidental, then five cases surely cannot be described as accidental or coincidental.

Therefore, after handling the last food poisoning patient, Liu Ze, and informing his parents to contact her if there were any issues, Yi Chichi and the team leader returned to Liu Chen’s house to find the cause of the poisoning.

Liu Chen, who was treated first, was already recovering well at this point.

"I’m here to find Xiao Chen to understand the situation."

Seeing the puzzled looks on the Liu Family’s faces, Yi Chichi went straight to the point.

Understand the situation?

The whole family looked at each other in bewilderment, and Liu Chen curiously asked, "What situation?"

"Xiao Ze and the others are also poisoned!" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The team leader spoke expressionlessly with a heavy voice.

Liu Chen looked at Yi Chichi in disbelief, and seeing her nod, he was stunned as if hit by a heavy blow, "How could they be poisoned?"

His mind was full of questions, unable to understand what was going on.

"Besides Xiao Ze, who else?"

"Anzi, Zhouzhou, Dandan, Xiao Ze, and you."

Anzi is the youngest son of the women’s director, full name Liu Chang’an.

Zhouzhou is Liu Dongmei’s sister, full name Liu Xiaozhou. This kid was born on a raft, and the name ’Fa’ was too harsh, so it was changed to ’Zhou’.

Dandan is also a girl, the eldest daughter of the team leader, full name Liu Dan.

Three boys and two girls, five food poisoning teenagers have one thing in common, that is they all attend junior high school at the commune.

"What did your school eat today?!"

"Green beans, radish soup."

"Nothing else?"

"No."

Yi Chichi had an idea, "Apart from these, did you eat anything else?"

Liu Chen thought carefully, shook his head to indicate no.

"Did the green beans taste a bit raw?"

"Green beans always have a taste."

"I’m not talking about the taste of green beans, but the raw half-cooked taste."

This explanation suddenly made everyone realize.

Liu Chen was like discovering a new continent, "Yes, today’s green beans were half-raw, crunchy to bite."

"The problem is with the green beans."

Indeed, it was just as she judged, "Raw green beans, not cooked, contain lectins and saponins, which are toxic."

"Then it’s bad news, quite a few students ate green beans at school today."

Liu Chen was worried, "Ms. Yi, will anyone die?"

"In severe cases, it can cause dehydration or shock."

Liu Chen and the others’ condition was not severe and easy to handle, severe cases need to be sent to the hospital.

"What about my classmates?"

What else can be done, "It depends on whether their parents notice in time, if they do, seeing a doctor shouldn’t be a big issue."

"I’ll go to school and check tomorrow."

"Xiao Chen, can you still go to school like this?"

Liu Chen’s father looked at Yi Chichi, she looked at Liu Chen’s face, "Their symptoms are mild, recovery is quick, they can go to school, or take a day off if they feel uncomfortable."

"I’m going to school tomorrow to check."

Liu Chen was very insistent, Yi Chichi had no objection, it’s not her kid after all, she can’t decide whether they should go to school or not.

Therefore, she didn’t express an opinion; instead, she said goodbye to Liu Chen’s family, and left with the team leader and others.

On the way back, the team leader pondered, "How could green beans be poisonous?"

They’ve been eating green beans for years, it’s the first time they knew green beans could be poisonous.

"Cooked, it’s not toxic."

"What are the symptoms of green bean poisoning? Just vomiting and diarrhea?"

The question came from the women’s director, Yi Chichi described the symptoms in detail, the scorekeeper shouted loudly as if struck by lightning, "No wonder I feel uncomfortable every time I eat green beans."

"I seem to have it too."

"I’m quite fine, maybe because my wife likes to cook green beans until they’re mushy."

Boiled mushy green beans can’t possibly poison you, they’re thoroughly cooked.

Then, the discussion about green bean poisoning turned into a complaint session.

The team leader complained about his wife treating them like pigs, everything is stewed in one pot, stir-frying is non-existent.

The scorekeeper complained about his wife’s cooking that always looks like charcoal, the key is that regardless of what she makes, she has a way to make it charred outside but raw inside.

Then it was the women’s director’s turn...

Yi Chichi was sweating while listening, extremely grateful that the Youth Corps Courtyard had the culinary talented Wu Yongfei.

Otherwise, she didn’t dare to imagine, relying on her own cooking for three meals would likely not be much better than the team leader’s family.

Returning to the medical room, daylight had already broken.

Well, soon it would be time to wake Xiao Jiu for school, it’s better not to sleep at all.

Catch up on sleep during the day if feeling tired.

Having been woken up from sleep for an emergency, she hadn’t brushed her teeth or washed her face, first clean up personal hygiene.

After washing up, she sat in front of the medicine cabinet and began checking the medicinal materials inside, replenishing what’s lacking, and examining the quality of the existing materials.

She picked out and discarded anything with mold spots, though unlike the humid South, mold spots are rare in the Northeast.

So after a round of checks, she only replenished the materials.

After closing each drawer, she took out the ledger to record the medical visit details.

At the end of the year, the accounts have to be settled; when the visits were made, for what reason, how much medicine was used, etc., all need to be recorded clearly.

Time flew by, it was almost seven.

Having been busy the whole morning, Yi Chichi, in between boiling water, called Qin Jiu to get up.

Five minutes later, the newly washed child appeared before her with water droplets on the face, just about to speak, they heard a sizzle, and the egg that was in Yi Chichi’s hand a second ago cracked and fell into the pot, under the high heat of oil, the egg white quickly coagulated.

"Xiao Jiu, go grab the bowls and chopsticks, breakfast is ready."

"Okay."

Soon, the bowls and chopsticks were brought over.

Yi Chichi served the fried egg, then uncovered the pot, tossed in noodles that had been through water, with a flick of chopsticks the repeatedly cooled boiled noodles instantly loosened.

Then she added oil, salt, and greens, then took it out of the pot.

Putting the egg back on top.

"Want some sauce?"

She opened a jar of mushroom sauce, Qin Jiu quickly pushed the bowl over, "Auntie, just a little for me."

The sauce was delicious, just a bit spicy.

Yi Chichi gave him a little, and added a spoonful for herself.

The child looked at the red noodles, feeling a sore throat.

"Auntie, isn’t it spicy for you?"

"Not too bad."

Having had bland food every day, the mouth almost forgot any taste.

Spice up the palate with something spicy.

"Eat up, finish then off to school."

"...Okay."

The child initially thought about saying not needing a fried egg, obediently ate in silence, yet his immature heart made a grand wish.

Once he grew up, he’d ensure his aunt could enjoy eggs every day.

Yi Chichi had no idea about his ambitious dream, after breakfast she watched Qin Jiu head off to school with his shoulder bag along with Dun Dun and them, after they disappeared from sight, she turned her gaze to the big cat squatting at her feet.
