When Lin Yuan told Liuzi she wanted to buy a ewe, despite the lump on his head from being hit by a clod of earth, Liuzi readily agreed to relay the message to Shopkeeper Liu. It must be said that although Miss Lin has a bit of a temper, she was quite nice to him. Even the Boss didn't get a taste of the meat-filled buns, yet she gave three to him!
After preparing several meat buns for Lao Fan, Lin Yuan sat down on a stool and looked at the pile of clods before her. Indeed, those clods were potatoes, simply small in size, some fresh, but others had turned green and sprouted. Modern people all know that potatoes themselves are not toxic, but if they are improperly stored and sprout, the toxicity can be extremely potent!
It seemed likely that the old beggar had died of poisoning from eating sprouted green potatoes. But didn't Doctor Lao Fan know about this? How could he still make a bet with the Young Master and send these to her?
