Chapter 40: 100 year old wild ginseng
Hu Changlin took the bamboo tube and drank the spring water . Although it was not that cold, it was a great satisfaction in this summer heat of the afternoon .
Hu Changlin handed the remaining half of the water to Hu Feng, but Hu Feng refused to accept it . Saying he was not thirsty .
Hu Changlin scratched his head: Oh, look at my memory . I forgot you dont like sharing utensils with other people . I should have let you drink first .
Hu Feng didnt answer, he got up and walked towards the bamboo bag and took out two yacon fruits from the inside . Then, he took out his dagger and began peeling them .
What is that? Hu Changlin couldnt help but asked, he was happy inside his heart . Hu Feng seemed harvested a lot more this time, now that he went with Bai Zhi in the mountain .
Hu Feng cut the yacon fruit several times . His movement was very fast . They didnt even see how did he cut it . The yacon fruit was peeled and cut in just a short moment .
Snow lotus herb . He only spoke three words and handed it directly to Hu Changlin: You eat them first .
Hu Changlin naturally wouldnt be polite to his son . He took a bite of the yacon fruit . The taste was sweet and it was crispy . He actually didnt know how to describe the delicious taste . It taste new and special .
His first yacon fruit hasnt been swallowed, but Hu Feng was already cutting the second one . Then, handed it to Zhao Lan: You eat .
This was the first time Hu Feng talked to Zhao Lan . Last time, when she almost fell to the hillside, Hu Feng pa.s.sed by and helped her . At that time, she wanted to thank him, but he just left . Last night, she was eating in their house, but he never spoke with her .
So this time,Zhao Lan was somewhat flattered and quickly reached out her hand and took it .
However, she didnt hurry to eat, instead, she handed it to Bai Zhi: You eat this . The snake meat you ate was small . You must be hungry .
Bai Zhi pushed her mothers hand back and said: Niang, didnt I said before? When Hu Feng dug these yacon fruits, I already ate two . Now, Im still full, I dont want to eat at all . Besides, there were still a lot of them in the bag .
Hu Changlin looked at Bai Zhi and couldnt help but ask: Didnt you said you wanted to go to the mountain to pick up some herbs? Did you find any?
Bai Zhi got up and looked at the surroundings . When she was sure no one was around and listening . She whispered: Hu Bo, we dug a hundred-year-old wild ginseng . After we sold it, we will divide it into two .
When Hu Changlin heard her words, his jaw almost drop to the ground . He thought he heard it wrong: What did you say?
Bai Zhi took the wild ginseng from the bottom of her bag: This is it . Hu Bo, how much do you think we can sell this wild ginseng?
When Hu Changlin saw the wild ginseng . He was obviously very excited . He wanted to touch it, but he was afraid to break it . So, he retracted his hand and sighed: This big wild ginseng seems a hundred-year-old . You can sell it for at least 100 silver coins .
100 silver coins?
Zhao Lans eyes widen several degrees, her voice even trembled: How much is it? 1, 100 silver coins?
Hu Changlin waved his hand: I am not really sure, but Ive heard people talked about it before . They said those rich people in the town rarely found wild ginseng . They could only find and bought common ginseng worth dozens of silvers . So, with its size, I supposed it could be sold for 100 silver coins .
The former Bai Zhi has never been to the town before . Her knowledge was very limited . Bai Zhi couldnt even find any helpful idea in her memory at all .
