I Am Xianfan

Chapter 35: Snake Geng, Blood Ginseng and Tonic Meal

   "I'll catch a grass snake and come back, let's stew the snake soup to replenish our body!"

   Su Chen finished the pulse for A Chou, then got up, took A Chou and strolled along the ridge of the farmhouse near the Chenghuang Temple.

   He had spent three months in the back mountain of Yaowang Mountain Villa, and every day the bibimbap with salt and oil sauce, the bird smell was almost fading out of his mouth, just to catch a grass snake to improve his food.

   After only a short while, Su Chen found a hole as big as a punch under the ridge. Reaching out, grabbed a two-foot-long grass snake, pinched the snake's head three inches, and brought it out.

   This is a very simple matter for Su Chen.

   He possesses the extraordinary perception of the Grandmaster Realm. Wherever he walks, everything within a few feet of him is clear, even the movement hidden deep in the hole underneath.

   A Chou followed all the way suspiciously, but was stunned and almost bit his tongue.

   This grass flower snake is hard to find. It is hidden deep in a cave hidden in the grass of the field ridge. The hole is small, and it can't be found in half an hour.

  Besides, no one is sure that there are no poisonous snakes in the cave.

   If you accidentally bump into a poisonous snake, and you reach in and get bitten by your fangs, it will be even worse. Even if you don't die, you will lose money if you send it to a drugstore for rescue.

  Except for the experienced snake catchers in the county seat, they dare to go wild to catch snakes. Ordinary people are so distracted and shunned, who would dare to catch snakes with bare hands?

   Su Chen was in the Yaowang Gang and learned a lot of pharmacological knowledge, including snake medicinal materials. He knew the toxicity of different snakes, and the grass snake was not poisonous, so he dared to catch it.

   Su Chen went to the nearby Tianheng River and used a medicine-gathering knife to peel the grass flower snake and remove its internal organs. Go back to the Chenghuang Temple, clean the crock pot, cut the snake meat into pieces, put it in the pot, light the fire and boil the snake soup, all in one go.

   This grass flower snake is sweet in nature, nourishes qi and blood, clears the blood, dispels the wind, and nourishes the body.

   After Su Chen got it right, he said that there was not enough firewood, and asked A Chou to go to the small woods near the Chenghuang Temple to pick up some dry wood and dead branches.

   A Chou nodded and left the temple.

   Su Chen then took out several decades of body-tempering medicinal materials in his arms, such as Bugu black yam, red blood vine, blood ginseng and so on.

   Only a few slices of each are cut, thrown into a crock pot, and boiled with the snake soup.

   The remaining medicinal materials were put away again.

   A Chou's internal injuries have accumulated for more than half a year, and it has become a little heavier for a long time. Young herbs are too weak. He must administer drastic medicines and use these ten years' worth of medicinal materials to cure his illness.

   Prescribe the right medicine, of course, not because of the large amount of the medicinal materials, but just the right amount. In this way, the medicinal materials are not wasted, and the most effective medicinal power is achieved.

   Su Chen has often prepared prescriptions for himself over the past three months, using various herbs to temper his body and cultivate, and he has already had a wealth of experience in prescriptions.

   A Chou came back soon and brought back a large bundle of dead branches and dry wood.

   After half an hour, the snake soup soup was simmered, and a strong fragrance filled the entire Chenghuang Temple. Although there is no oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, the taste is pure and the aroma of herbs is only covered by the fragrance of snakes.

   "Come on, try my craft! When I was young, I used to fish in the river and grilled fish. I haven't done much recently, but it's unfamiliar."

   Su Chen took a sip, felt it tasted good, and said with a smile.

   A Chou has long been attracted by the strong fragrance of this snake soup soup, and he is greedy.

   Tianyingmen’s dining room is filled with steamed buns and porridge every day. Where can I eat such fragrant snake soup?

   He hadn't had a fishy fish for several months, so he hurriedly filled a large bowl of snake soup, and he ate it with the wind, and his mouth was full of fragrance.

   A Chou has never tasted body-tempering herbs, and he does not know what the herbal aroma in this soup is.

   Eat too fast, I haven't tasted the sweet taste of snake soup.

   However, Ah Chou soon felt a burst of heat in his abdomen, as if something was strongly urging his blood.

   Ah Chou felt strange. He had eaten the scraps of snake soup at Tianying Inn a long time ago, but he had never felt so hot all over.

   It feels...like taking a big tonic.

   Ah Chou felt wrong.

   He is not stupid, thinking of something, he immediately took the chopsticks cut from the branches, fished a few times in the snake soup in the earthen jar, and fished out a slice of blood ginseng, and a few refined medicinal materials such as the red blood vine.

   "This~...this isn't the blood ginseng sold in the drugstore, right?"

   A Chou was taken aback, his eyes widened, and his hands were shaking.

   After he learned martial arts stealthily at Tianyingmen, he had actually imagined buying medicinal materials to help his body tempering practice.

But he went to the drug store in Gusu County and looked at the prices of various body-tempering herbs. The lowest price was one or two silver. The slightly better medicinal materials even cost five or six taels of silver. This idea.

   Blood ginseng, especially blood ginseng that has been used for ten years, is a body-tempering medicinal material that strengthens the body and strengthens the vitality and blood. It is very powerful and is very good for the foundation of the martial artist.

   The big medicine shop in Gusu County sells blood ginseng, red blood vine and other medicinal materials, but only one or two silver is a small root, so ordinary people can not afford such good things.

   The few herbs in this snake soup soup are too expensive!

   This is because those rich and powerful inner disciples of Tianyingmen can afford it.

   A Chou was so shocked that he couldn't speak, his hands were shaking. He used to work in the inn, and he only made a couple of silver all year round, and he couldn't save a few coins.

   Now joining Tianyingmen to do hard labor, and even without a penny, working for the gang for nothing, without any income.

   He picks up manure carts out of the city every three to five, and sells them to big farmers as manure. Only one cart can barely get back three or four coins. Even if he doesn't have enough food and clothing on weekdays, where is there any extra money to buy medicinal materials to temper his body and practice.

   The medicinal materials in this pot of snake soup, not to mention that it will take him several years to earn it.

   "Brother Chen, this is a refined medicinal material that you can buy in the county pharmacy for a few silver dollars. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is such an expensive thing, how can you give me something to eat?!"

   A Chou took out a piece of blood ginseng from the crock and cried excitedly.

   This is the first time he has eaten such expensive body-tempering herbs.

   He was an orphan since he was a child. Because of his ugly appearance, he was always bullied. Apart from his only sister, no one has treated him so well.

   Su Chen is his only good brother in Gusu County.

   Su Chen couldn't help it, so he could only smile and said, "There is nothing else in the Medicine King Gang, but there are many medicinal materials, and it is not worth a lot of money. I am a disciple of the Medicine King Gang, it is easy to get some medicinal materials."

   In fact, the outer disciples of the Yaowang Gang can't afford such an expensive ten-year blood ginseng.

   These ten years of medicinal materials planted by Su Chen with the green turbid spirit water, even he was not willing to use it. Originally, when he was preparing for the third-rate later stage of cultivation, he slowly boiled the medicine to quench the body.

   But, now A Chou has a bit serious internal injuries, and these medicines for blood, muscles and bones, and internal injuries are just right, so A Chou will use it first.

   It's just that A Chou didn't know that he was seriously injured up to now. He just thought it was a simple body tempering cultivation medicine used to replenish qi and blood.

   Su Chen was afraid that A Chou would be burdened, so he didn't say anything.

   "This... is still too expensive! You should drink it yourself, and you can become a master at the rivers and lakes earlier. Drinking it for me is too wasteful."

   A Chou shook his hand, not daring to drink the rest of the snake soup blood ginseng soup, just a small sip, enough for him to do a month of chores.

   "This medicine is specially formulated for you. If you don't drink it, you just don't treat me like a brother!"

   Su Chen scowled.

   "Okay, I drink!"

   Ah Chou froze, thinking of the words he had said in the wood shed of Tianying Inn half a year ago. He held back his tears and drank another bowl of snake soup.
