Chapter 35
Hu Feng shook his head: “I’ve never eaten it before. I’ve killed a few snakes before when I was hunting. But, I didn’t know it was edible.”
Bai Zhi felt pity when she listened: “It’s a pity, you didn’t know the taste of the snake meat. But, you will know it later.”
Although Hu Feng still has some resistance to eat a snake. He hasn’t eaten meat for a long time now. When he listened to her words, it gave birth to a wonderful feeling. And so, he followed her words and put the snake on the cloth bag.
The two of them continued to walk deep into the forest. Along the way, Hu Feng hunted two gray rabbits. The rabbits were very fat, but Hu Feng didn’t seem to be happy.
“What? You’re not satisfied with them? I haven’t pick up the herbs I want yet.” Bai Zhi asked with a smile.
Hu Feng swept his eyes to the heavy cloth bag and whispered: “This gray rabbit doesn’t worth much. Even if you add these two, you can only sell it for 60 copper coins.”
Bai Zhi was stunned and rolled her eyes: “What? 60 copper coins? These two big rabbits only cost 60 copper coins? Isn’t it almost the same the price of a cabbage?”
Hu Feng shrugged his shoulders: “There is no other choice. This animal can easily catch and its meat was unpalatable. Only a few rich families were willing to buy its meat. The town shop put a lot of pressure to its price, so it’s current price only reach the price of a cabbage.”
“How can it’s meat be so cheap? Moreover, the rabbit’s meat tastes so delicious. Who said it was unpalatable? That person must not know how to cook it. He shouldn’t blame the rabbit’s meat ah.”
“You know how to cook it?” Hu Feng raised an eyebrow.
Bai Zhi nodded: “Of course, I know how delicious the braised rabbit meat I made. Don’t sell it. I will show you how good it is at dinner.”
Hu Feng nodded: “Okay. It won’t sell a good price anyway.”
While discussing, Bai Zhi suddenly smelled a scent. A scent that was very faint. It was mixed with the fragrance of grass, leaves, and soil. If a person doesn’t know it, it was very difficult to distinguish.
Bai Zhi began to get excited. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she pointed her finger in the direction: “Over there.”
Hu Feng doesn’t understand: “What’s in there?”
Bai Zhi replied: “The herbs that I’m looking for was over there.”
Bai Zhi continue followed the direction of the faint smell and went to the deepest part of the forest. Hu Feng followed closely behind her with vigilance. He had never been in this place before. This area was the real Luoying Mountain and not the area they just walked.
Bai Zhi suddenly stopped her footsteps and looked at the green field not far away from of her. There were no towers of trees, there was a vast blue sky up above. A golden sunlight projected the whole green area. The green field was completely bathing in sunlight. The scent led her into this place.
Bai Zhi was very excited. In the 23rd century, she tried cultivating Bluebell for two years but failed.
Bluebell was almost extinct in the 23rd century. She and several professors tried to cultivate this herb but also failed.
“What is this?” Seeing her so excited, Hu Feng couldn’t help but ask.
“This is bluebell, it’s a very expensive herbal medicine. It’s extremely difficult to plant. Not to mention this many!” At least, the whole green field was approximately 10 square meters.
Hu Feng snorted and asked: “What kind of disease can this herb cure?”
What kind of disease can this herb cure? This sentence seems not only like a nail that was pondered on her brain, but also like a cold water of basin that was poured on her.
