Chapter 177: Chapter 177: The Golden Scales in the water, the fragrant fungus in the forest, the rare birds in the sky, and the strange beasts in the mountains
Ning Fei walked outside and found an empty space with no trees around. Then, he started to put up shelves and prepared to cook.
It was almost noon, and the weather was warm.
In the reindeer tribe, many people noticed Ning Fei not far away when they walked out.
Someone asked the hunter, “Who is that person?”
The hunter replied, “He came from the grassland. He seems to be a Taoist priest.”
Regarding this, no one said much. They were just curious. Occasionally, they would walk out of the tribe and look at Ning Fei.
After Ning Fei was done packing, he said to the netizens,
“As the saying goes, the rich scale is in the water, the fragrant fungus is in the forest, the rare birds are in the sky, and the strange beasts are in the mountains.”
“There are too many treasures here.”
“We’ll have mushroom and rabbit meat for lunch. Now, I’ll go and find some mushrooms and wild vegetables.”
Many netizens laughed when they heard Ning Fei’s words.
“It’s time for Abbey Dean Ning’s treasure hunt in the mountains again.”
......
As expected, Ning Fei strolled in the mountains for about half an hour. When he came back, he was already full of mushrooms.
“This is purple painted face mushroom, one of the best mushrooms in the Deep Mountains.”
“This is wood ear mushroom, also known as Black Pine Mushroom. The meat is tender, chewy, and very expensive.”
“This is chicken blood mushroom, which is very helpful in preventing diabetes.”
“This is Porcini, the ‘Big Brother’of wild edible mushrooms. The bigger umbrella has a diameter of 20 centimeters and a thickness of 5 centimeters. It is especially fragrant when stewed with meat.”
Ning Fei set up the shelf and took out the small pot. Then, he poured all the water in the cup into it and began to cook it slowly, preparing to make a pot of mushroom braised rabbit meat.
He took some time to take a look at the live stream bullet screen and found that [ medicine merchant ] had given him five super rockets and attached a message:
“Abbey Dean Ning, can you sell me some wild black pine mushrooms?”
Ning Fei smiled when he saw the comments and bullet comments of [ herb merchant ] . “Why do you want to buy mushrooms from me?”
The netizens were curious and could not help but ask,
“Can anyone tell us how much the things that the herb merchant wants to buy are worth?”
“Black pine nuts are very expensive. Normally, the price would be a few hundred yuan per catty, but in the wild, it would be around 2,000 yuan per catty.”
“How much is it? 2,000 yuan per catty?”
After hearing the price, many netizens could not remain calm.
Just now, Ning Fei had randomly picked some, and it was already more than 2 catty.
Didn’t that mean that Ning Fei could earn 4,000 to 5,000 yuan in half an hour by picking mushrooms?
Could picking mushrooms earn that much money?
“Are you serious? I want to go to the great Xing ‘an mountains to dig mushrooms.”
“It’s deep in the mountains, and the place is special. It’s not easy to find.”
“Wild black pine nuts are indeed very expensive, but they are worth it because the nutritional value is very high.”
“I want to buy one catty of black pine nuts, Abbey Dean Ning!”
“Give me one catty of black pine nuts too!”
Everyone started shouting again.
Ning Fei smiled helplessly after seeing these bullet screens and said,
“I’m sorry, everyone. There aren’t that many black pine nuts left.”
“There’s still a little over a Jin here. It’s first come, first served. I’ll give it to [ herb merchant ] .”
“After I leave, I’ll find a courier to send it to you.”
After hearing Ning Fei’s words, the other netizens were extremely envious, but the herb merchant was exceptionally happy.
He knew that wild black pine nuts were truly a delicacy in the world. When stewed together with meat, the taste was indescribably fragrant.
There was not much water in the pot. When Ning Fei saw that the water was boiling, he first added some seasoning onions, ginger, and garlic to make the taste good.
Then, Ning Fei took out the rabbit meat and skillfully cut it with a small knife before putting it into the small pot.
The conditions in the wild were a little worse, so stir-frying some rabbit meat in advance would have a better effect.
However, Ning Fei was not that particular. He poured in some clean water and put in all the washed mushrooms.
What followed was a long wait.
Halfway through, Ning Fei took a cup of water and made a trip to the reindeer tribe.
When the people in the tribe heard that he was here to get a cup of water, they were very welcoming and helped him fill the cup completely.
At the same time, Ning Fei also briefly observed some of the reindeer tribes.
He thought to himself, “The astrological signs indicate that there are creatures rich in spiritual energy here. They don’t seem to be in the tribe.”
“Could they be nearby?”
After fetching the water, Ning Fei smiled and thanked him. Then, he returned to the side of the fire.
He was in an open space surrounded by a dense forest. The black handsome followed beside him and rested comfortably.
Not long after, the Little Falcon flew back. During this period of time, it was nowhere to be found.
However, the forest was the Little Falcon’s home. It stood at the top of the food chain, so there was no need to worry about any danger.
Ning Fei specially left some raw rabbit meat to feed the little falcon. Seeing that it had returned, he immediately put the rabbit meat aside.
