Chapter 40 Centennial Wild Ginseng

Uncle Huber took the bamboo tube and took a sip of the spring water. Although it was not very refreshing, it was a great satisfaction to be able to drink a sip of water in this wild field on this hot summer afternoon.

Hu Bo handed the remaining half a cup of water to Hu Feng, but Hu Feng refused to take it, only saying that he was not thirsty.

Then Uncle Huber patted his head: "Look at my memory, you don't like to share eating utensils with others, you should have been drinking first."

Hu Feng didn't answer, got up and walked to the bamboo basket, took out two snow lotus fruits, took a dagger and started peeling.

"What is this?" Hu Bo couldn't help but ask, his heart blossomed with joy. He went into the mountain with Baizhi this time, and it seemed that he had gained a lot.

Hu Feng peeled off the yacon fruit after three strokes, five and two, and the action was very fast. They didn't even see how he peeled it. A yacon fruit with orange in the meat powder was peeled successfully.

"Snow lotus fruit." He spit out three words lightly, and handed it directly to Uncle Hu: "You eat first."

Naturally, Hu Bo would not be polite to his son. He took a bite of the yacon fruit, which was juicy and sweet, crisp and refreshing. He didn't know how to describe this delicious, very special taste.

Before he could swallow his first mouthful of snow lotus fruit, Hu Feng had already cut the second one and handed it to Zhao Lan: "You can eat it."

This is the first time Hu Feng has spoken to her. Last time, she almost fell off the hillside. Hu Feng passed by and saved her. She thanked her desperately at that time, and Hu Feng never said a word to her. He ate at his house last night. , and he never spoke to her.

Zhao Lan was a little flattered, and hurriedly reached out to take it.

She didn't rush to eat, but handed the snow lotus fruit to Bai Zhi: "Zhi'er, you eat first, you just ate some snake tails, you must be hungry."

Bai Zhi pushed her hand back: "Mother, don't I tell you, when Hu Feng and I just dug this, we ate a meal, and now we're full, and don't want to eat at all, besides, in the basket More than that, there is no need to push back.”

Seeing Bai Zhi's high-spirited appearance, Uncle Hu couldn't help but ask, "You said today that you went up the mountain to collect herbs, but are you picking herbs?"

Bai Zhi got up and looked around, making sure that no one around was eavesdropping on them, so she whispered: "Uncle Hu, we dug a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, and we sold it for the money, half of our family."

Huber almost dropped his jaw when he heard it, and thought he had a problem with his ears: "What did you say?"

Bai Zhi simply took out the wild ginseng from under the basket, "This is it, Uncle Hu, how much do you think this wild ginseng is worth?"

When Hu Bo saw this wild ginseng, he was obviously very excited. He wanted to take a look at it in his hand, but he was afraid of breaking it, so he retracted his hand and sighed: "Such a big wild ginseng is still a hundred years old. Look, at least one hundred taels can be sold."

One hundred taels of silver?

Zhao Lan's eyes lit up several degrees, and even her voice trembled: "How much? One, one hundred taels?"

Hu Bo waved his hand: "I'm not sure, but I've heard people say before that those rich people in the city sparse wild ginseng dug up in our mountains, and an ordinary wild ginseng can be sold for dozens of taels. Silver, let alone such a big one-hundred-year-old wild ginseng, I guess it would have to sell for a hundred taels at least."

In the past, Bai Zhi had never been to the town, and her knowledge was pitiful, so in her memory, she couldn't find anything about this convenience at all, and she didn't have a clue now.
