"I'm going to catch a grass flower snake and come back, let's stew snake soup and drink it to replenish our body!"

After Su Chen finished checking the pulse for Ah Chou, he got up and took Ah Chou to take a walk around the ridge of the farmer's rice field near the Chenghuang Temple.

He had been in the back mountain of Yaowang Villa for three months, and every day he had salt, oil and sauce bibimbap, and the smell of birds was about to fade out of his mouth, so he just caught a grass snake to improve his food.

After only a short period of effort, Su Chen found a fist-sized cave under the ridge. Reaching out, he grabbed a two-foot-long grass flower snake, pinched the snake's head three inches, and brought it up.

This is a very simple matter for Su Chen.

With the extraordinary perception of the Grandmaster Realm, wherever he walked, everything within a few zhang around him was clear, even the movements hidden in the depths of the cave underneath were also clear.

Ah Chou followed behind suspiciously, but he was so stunned that he almost bit his tongue.

This grass flower snake is not easy to find, hidden in the depths of the hidden cave in the ridge grass, the hole is small, and it cannot be found at all for more than half an hour.

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

If you accidentally touch a poisonous snake and reach in and get bitten by poisonous fangs, it will be even more unlucky. Even if you don't die, if you send it to the pharmacy for rescue, you will be ruined.

In addition to the snake catchers in the county who are experienced and dare to go to the wild to catch snakes. Ordinary people have changed their complexions when they hear it, and they can't avoid it, who dares to catch snakes with their bare hands?

Su Chen was also in the Medicine King Gang, and learned a lot of pharmacological knowledge, including snake medicinal materials, knowing the toxicity of different snakes, and the grass flower snake was not poisonous, so he dared to catch it.

Su Chen went to the nearby Tiangeng Creek, peeled the grass flower snake with a medicine picking knife, and removed the internal organs. Go back to the City God Temple, clean the clay pot pot, cut the snake meat piece by piece, put it in the pot, make a fire and boil the snake soup soup, all in one go.

This grass flower snake is sweet, nourishes qi and blood and blood vessels, dispels wind and evil and replenishes deficiency, and is most suitable for boiling soup to nourish the body.

After Su Chen got it done, he said that the firewood was not enough, so he asked Ah Chou to go to the grove near the City God Temple again and pick up some dry firewood and dry branches to come back.

Ugly nodded and went out of the temple.

Su Chen then took out a few ten-year-old quenching herbs from his arms, such as bone black yam, red blood vine, blood ginseng, and so on.

Only a few slices of each were cut into a crockpot and boiled with the soup.

The rest of the herbs were put away again.

Ugly's internal injuries have accumulated for more than half a year, and they are a bit heavy in the long run. The medicinal power of young herbs is too weak. He had to take strong medicine, and use these ten-year medicinal materials to cure the disease.

To prescribe the right medicine, of course, it is not about the amount of medicinal materials, but just right. In this way, the most effective medicinal power is achieved without wasting medicinal materials.

In the past three months, Su Chen has often prepared prescriptions for himself, using various herbs to quench his body and cultivate, and he has long had rich experience in prescriptions.

Ah Chou soon came back and brought back a large bundle of dead branches and dry firewood.

Half an hour later, the snake soup soup was stewed, and a burst of rich aroma filled the entire City God Temple. Although there is no oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, the taste is pure, and there is also the aroma of herbs, which is only masked by the snake fragrance.

When I was a child, I often went down to the river to insert fish and grill fish to eat. ”

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

Ah Chou has long been attracted by the strong aroma of this snake soup, and his mouth is greedy.

The dining room of Tianyingmen is full of steamed buns and porridge every day, where can there be such fragrant snake soup to eat.

He hadn't touched meat for several months, so he hurriedly filled a big bowl of snake soup soup, and ate it with a lot of fragrance.

Ah Chou had never tasted quenching herbs, and he didn't know what the aroma of the herbs in this soup was.

I ate it too quickly, and I didn't even taste the sweet taste of the snake soup.

However, Ah Chou soon felt a burst of hot air rise in his abdomen, as if something was strongly urging his qi and blood.

Ugly felt strange, he had eaten the leftovers of snake soup once at the Aquila Inn a long time ago, but he had never felt so steamy.

This feels... It's like taking a big tonic.

Ugly felt that it was wrong.

He was not stupid, he thought of something, and immediately took chopsticks made of tree branches, scooped them in the snake soup soup in the clay pot a few times, and fished out a piece of blood ginseng, as well as a few quenching medicinal materials such as red blood vines.

"This~... This can't be the kind of blood ginseng you sell in pharmacies, right?"

Ah Chou was taken aback, his eyes suddenly widened, and his hands were shaking in fright.

After he secretly learned martial arts in the Heavenly Eagle Gate before, he had actually fantasized about buying medicinal materials to assist in body quenching cultivation.

But he went to the pharmacy in Gusu County, and when he saw the prices of various quenching herbs, the lowest was one tael of silver, and the slightly better medicinal materials even cost five or six taels of silver.

Blood ginseng, especially the blood ginseng that has been used for ten years, is a quenching herb that strengthens the foundation and strengthens the qi and blood, and the medicinal power is very strong, which is very good for the martial artist to quench the body and lay the foundation.

The big pharmacies in Gusu County have blood ginseng, red blood vine and other medicinal materials for sale, but one or two silver is only a small root, where can ordinary people afford such good things.

The few herbs in this snake soup are too expensive!

This is only because of the rich and powerful inner disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect that they can afford it.

Ah Chou was so shocked that he was almost speechless, his hands were trembling, he used to work in the inn, and he only earned one or two silver all year round, and he couldn't save a few copper coins.

Now he has joined the Aquila Gate to do hard labor, and he has no copper money, working for the gang for nothing, without any income.

He went out of the city every once in a while to pick up manure trucks and sell them to large farmers as manure, and he could barely exchange three or four copper coins for a truckload. Even his daily food and clothing are not enough, where is the extra money to buy medicinal materials to quench his body and cultivate.

The medicinal materials in this pot of snake soup soup took him several years of hard work to earn.

"Brother Chen, this is a quenching medicinal material that can only be bought for a few taels of silver in the county pharmacy, how can you give me such an expensive thing?!"

Ah Chou fished out a piece of blood ginseng from the crockpot and cried excitedly.

It was the first time he had eaten such an expensive quenching herb.

He was an orphan since he was a child, and because of his ugly appearance, he was always bullied, and no one treated him so well except for his only sister.

Su Chen is the only good brother he has in Gusu County who is so good to him.

Su Chen couldn't hide it, so he could only smile and say: "The Medicine King Gang has nothing else, but there are many medicinal materials, and they are not worth a few dollars." I'm a disciple of the Medicine King Gang, so it's still easy to get some medicinal herbs. ”

In fact, the outer disciples of the Medicine King Gang couldn't afford such an expensive ten-year portion of blood ginseng.

Su Chen used the green turbidity spirit water to cultivate these ten-year medicinal materials, and he was not even willing to use them, and he was originally preparing for the third-rate late stage of cultivation, and slowly boiled the medicine and quenched his body to drink.

However, now Ah Chou's internal injuries are a little serious, and these blood-tonicing, muscles and bones, and internal injury treatment herbs are just right to use, so they are used by Ah Chou first.

It's just that Ah Chou still doesn't know that he has serious internal injuries, and he just thinks that this is a simple pair of quenching and cultivating medicinal materials, which are used to replenish qi and blood.

Su Chen was afraid that Ugly would have a burden, so he didn't say anything.

"It's... It's still too expensive! It's better for you to drink it yourself, you can become a master of the rivers and lakes earlier, it's too wasteful for me to drink. ”

Ah Chou shook his hand, not daring to drink the remaining snake soup and blood ginseng soup, just a small sip, enough for him to do a month's chores.

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

Su Chen's face straightened.

"Okay, I'll drink!"

Ah Chou was stunned, held back his tears, and drank a big bowl of snake soup soup.
