In this era, many so-called "poisons" are extracted from natural plants and animals, such as poisonous weeds such as datura, or snake venom, toad venom, etc.
But most of these so-called "poisons" have very low toxicity and have a weird taste that can be easily tasted.
And those that are highly toxic, such as pure snake venom, are very difficult and dangerous to obtain, and the price is naturally high. Even among some outsiders who can use snake venom as medicine, these snake venom medicines cost several taels of silver or even several taels of gold to obtain.
Of course, in this case, it is necessary to prescribe medicine according to the specific patient. How did Wu Erman and Hu Laoliu conjure up the patient and pulse diagnosis prescription out of thin air?
Besides, even if such a patient asked them to trick them into getting the potent poison on his behalf, these two people were so poor that they didn't have the spare money to buy such an expensive poison.
The "official" channels are like this, and the prices charged by many shady black market dealers are even more outrageous. They don't pay for it without looking at the purpose, but a bottle of snake venom can be exchanged for a relatively simple house in an ordinary town!
As for those cheap ones, they either have extremely low toxicity and have no effect except causing diarrhea, abdominal pain, dizziness and vomiting, and the effect is slow, and they require long-term use to show the effect; Bitter and spicy, it is impossible not to detect it unless the sense of taste is completely disabled.
Moreover, this so-called "cheap price" is only compared to those "sky-high price" poisons. For paupers like Wu Erman and Hu Laoliu, it is still sky-high price.
The bottom line is: for ordinary people, unless they go to collect poisonous weeds and catch poisonous snakes, there is no poison for them to buy.
However, venomous snakes can be harmful to people, but they are of no use to jam. After all, venomous snakes will not spray venom everywhere for no reason, let alone a pot of jam.
"Then, if you don't use poison, how can you do anything with the jam?" Wu Erman asked in confusion.
"You are stupid, but you are really stupid!" Hu Laoliu tapped Wu Erman's forehead, making Wu Erman take two steps back, "Those gentlemen and ladies from wealthy families have first-class stomachs. Jin Gui, if you don’t pay enough attention to the ingredients, if they are dusty or stale, they will get upset after eating them, so why go to all the trouble to get that poison?"
"Brother Hu, what do you mean...?"
"What I mean is that even if it is an ordinary laxative like Croton, as long as it makes people feel uncomfortable after eating it, it is enough for those gentlemen and ladies with high eyes to 'enjoy' a good meal!"
Croton is a very common medicine for treating constipation. Ordinary people have more or less troubles in this aspect. Therefore, whether they are princes, nobles or poor people, it is very common to buy laxatives such as croton or senna. .
Compared with poisons that are expensive and subject to a lot of questioning, this kind of laxative is cheap and common, and even if anyone buys it, no one will ask more - after all, the problems in Xia San Road are all more or less " It’s hard to tell”.
At this time, people who are asking for more information are somewhat ignorant of their sense of proportion.
Originally, Hu Laoliu thought that he had told Wu Erman the specific method. This time, the other party could finally take action, right? As a result, two days later, Wu Erman came over again crying.
Hu Laoliu had already lost his temper due to this man's knives-like personality, and asked patiently: "What happened this time?"
"I...I wanted to buy a pack of croton mixed with jam...but, it turned out..." Wu Erman's voice trembled, and he was about to cry.
"What's the result?"
"In the end, I was so scared that before I even put the crotons in the pot, I shook my hand and scattered them..."
Not only did he do it, but he did it in front of many people.
As mentioned before, croton is a very common laxative, so even ordinary people recognize it.
So when Wu Erman was too nervous and scattered the crotons from his arms all over the floor, everyone burst into laughter. Even Su Qingluan endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter. come out.
At this moment, everyone knew that Wu Erman was unable to solve the problem.
In fact, if this embarrassing thing happened to someone who is not so popular, there is a high probability that a few people who are close to each other will understand the embarrassment more or less, help cover up the incident, and then let everyone forget about the incident as soon as possible. .
However, people like Wu Erman have long been outraged by the public, and they are so cunning that people can't find any clues. Not to mention those who once worked with him, even Su Qingluan really wants to find a clue. Get rid of this unstable factor.
However, Wu Erman is a very cunning person. When he works with everyone, he fishes in troubled waters. But once he has to do everything by himself, he looks very diligent and diligent. There is no such thing as fishing in troubled waters and only wants to It's like being lazy.
Just because of this, he has been unable to catch his pigtails. Everyone knows that this person is very annoying, but there is nothing they can do.
So now, seeing Wu Erman being so ugly, even Su Qingluan felt like he was letting out a sigh of relief.
But the people below could laugh loudly, but as a shopkeeper, she couldn't put the words "partiality and looking at jokes" clearly on the table.
No matter how happy he was in his heart, Su Qingluan still scolded him with a tigerish face on the surface: "Don't laugh! We are all partners who work together. If your partner is sick, how can you still laugh if you don't express your sincere concern?" With that said, Wu Dani, who works in another group, was asked to take care of her younger brother.
After all, constipation is a problem that is difficult to discuss. Compared with outsiders, it is more convenient for family members - even sisters of the opposite sex - to deal with it.
Although Su Qingluan had good intentions, Wu Erman complained secretly. The reason is simple: he is a coward and is not good at lying, especially in front of his eldest sister who has always been strict with him.
It is no exaggeration to say that Wu Erman may not be so afraid of him kissing his mother, but he is afraid of his sister Wu Dani from the bottom of his heart.
He also knew that unlike his own free-spirited character, his eldest sister Wu Dani was a fierce woman with a clear eye and a very upright character.
If she knew what bastard thoughts she had, even if he was Wu Dani's half-brother, Wu Erman also knew that Wu Dani's sister would never take his side, and would instead skin him. .
And this sentence is not an exaggerated adjective, but true - Wu Dani once discovered that Wu Erman was neglecting the family fields because he was just lazy, and whipped him with the sole of his shoe until he rolled on the floor.
Moreover, when Wu Dani was spanking him, she happened to be wearing hard-soled shoes for going out, which were much more painful and damaging than the ordinary thousand-layer sole spanking.
After being beaten so severely, Wu Erman didn't even have a piece of good flesh on his waist and hips. He had to lie on the bed for more than half a month before he recovered. From then on, he never dared to be lazy in front of his sister again.
Thinking of this, Wu Erman felt a dull pain behind him.
