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 don’t like sharing utensils with other people . I should have let you drink first . ”

Hu Feng didn’t 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 couldn’t 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 didn’t 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 wouldn’t be polite to his son . He took a bite of the yacon fruit . The taste was sweet and it was crispy . He actually didn’t know how to describe the delicious taste . It taste new and special .

His first yacon fruit hasn’t 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 didn’t 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 mother’s hand back and said: “Niang, didn’t I said before? When Hu Feng dug these yacon fruits, I already ate two . Now, I’m still full, I don’t want to eat at all . Besides, there were still a lot of them in the bag . ”

Hu Changlin looked at Bai Zhi and couldn’t help but ask: “Didn’t 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 Lan’s 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 I’ve 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 couldn’t even find any helpful idea in her memory at all .
