100 Tianbao Won’t Eat Sneakily Anymore

Bai Wutong wanted to go to the forest to walk with Chu Tianbao. Huang Zhong happened to have time, so he volunteered to protect them.

With his body, Qingfeng could knock him down with a finger, so his uncle said, “Forget it. Don’t be an eyesore.”

Huang Zhong suddenly looked at Ye Wu with an unconvinced expression. He used his eyes to show that he was not the only follower. Beside Bai Wutong, Chu Tianbao was carrying Stinky in his arms, and Sheng Huaixuan was following behind him as if he was taking a stroll in the courtyard. Cui Lingyi was even holding a hand warmer. Which follower was not more of an eyesore than him?

He could still be considered useful. In such a big forest, he could definitely play his role and discover some good things.

!!

In any case, Huang Zhong was not the only one. Bai Wutong smiled and said, “It’s fine. Come with us. You might even find some treasures.”

Hearing that they were going into the forest, Gu Zhongxun, who was short of a few herbs, walked over and placed the remaining herbs in front of Huang Zhong for him to smell. He smiled and said, “There should be these herbs in the forest. Young Master Huang, please help me look for them.”

Woqian Town was too small. Some medicinal herbs could not even be bought.

Along the way, Huang Zhong had helped Gu Zhong find many medicinal herbs. Some of the medicinal herbs in the Life Spirit Pill that Qingfeng and the others had to eat were found by Huang Zhong. Also, during the flood in the Dragon King Temple that night and when they encountered a snowstorm, he had played a huge role along the way.

Huang Zhong agreed immediately. “Alright, I’ll definitely help you look out for them.”

Everyone stepped onto the winter snow. The sun shone down, and there was warmth on everyone’s faces.

After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Bai Wutong suddenly saw an orchid in the gap between the rocks in front of her.

On such a cold day, a white orchid was actually blooming. It was small but beautiful.

Bai Wutong walked closer and was surprised.

The white orchid was red in the middle, like a single tear from a young girl. It made one involuntarily think of a poignant story.

Bai Wutong squatted down and sniffed. The orchid fragrance was fresh and elegant, and it was extremely pleasant.

After carefully examining the orchid, Cui Lingyi said in surprise, “This should be the legendary top-grade orchid, Tears in the Snow.”

Tears in the snow?

It sounded like a very high-end flower name.

Bai Wutong asked, “Is it a very precious breed?”

Cui Lingyi smiled and nodded. She also squatted down and sniffed. “Tears in the snow only bloom in the winter. The blooming period is extremely short and only a week. The flowers look like dancing cranes from afar, but they also look like weeping girls when you look at them closely. Their fragrance is nice and refreshing. They are extremely picky about the environment they grow in, so they are priceless. The previous empress kept one in the glass room. Unfortunately, it probably couldn’t adapt to the climate and withered not long after. In a fit of anger, the empress even killed a group of palace servants in the glass room who were tending to the flowers and plants.”

For the sake of an orchid, she had killed so many palace servants.

Bai Wutong’s gaze fell back to the orchid and she sighed. “Tears in the snow and tears in the blood. It lives up to its name.”

Hearing Bai Wutong’s words, the orchid seemed to be inauspicious. Cui Lingyi originally wanted Bai Wutong to dig up the orchid and raise it, but she retracted her thoughts.

Huang Zhong saw that Bai Wutong and the others were staring at a small orchid and stopped to admire it. He suddenly smiled and said, “Master and Madam Cui, do you like this little flower? I know where there are more around. Do you want me to help you dig it up?” He was now an expert at digging up herbs. He had dug up many precious herbs, so it was naturally easy for him to dig up an orchid.

Bai Wutong turned in surprise. “There’s really more?”

Huang Zhong touched his nose and said confidently, “Of course.” He sniffed carefully and his smile became even brighter. “There seem to be quite a lot.”

There were many priceless orchids…

After Huang Zhong finished speaking, Bai Wutong looked at Cui Lingyi doubtfully, as if asking, ‘Did you not recognise it wrongly?’.

Cui Lingyi stared at the orchid again and said firmly, “There’s no mistake! That’s what I read from the books.”

Bai Wutong was shocked. “I thought you had seen one before.”

Cui Lingyi said confidently, “I already said that it’s an extremely precious orchid. It’s normal that I haven’t seen it, okay?”

Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Then we’re going to be rich. Let’s go and see how many there are. Maybe we can even buy the entire state with the flowers.”

Everyone followed Huang Zhong and soon arrived at a cliff. As far as the eye could see, the precious tears in the snow were abundant like free weeds.

Bai Wutong did not need to squat down. With a light breath, she could smell the pleasant orchid fragrance.

Chu Tianbao even casually picked two orchids for Stinky to play with. He even reminded, “You can’t eat them. You can only play with them.”

As soon as Stinky took it, he stuffed it into his mouth. Sheng Huaixuan was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, Chu Tianbao threw it away and scolded, “I already said that you’re not allowed to eat it. Son, did you listen to me?!”

Stinky angrily slapped his chubby hands and spat. “Ah pfft… Ah pfft…” He was venting his dissatisfaction that the orchid had been thrown away by Chu Tianbao.

Chu Tianbao wanted to take revenge on him, so he used his face to rub his big fleshy face, making Stinky cry out in dissatisfaction.

Bai Wutong glanced at them and then at Sheng Huaixuan, who was heartbroken. She smiled at Cui Lingyi and said, “When our house is built, we can plant some orchids in front of the courtyard.”

Cui Lingyi suddenly smiled. “Then it’s really priceless.”

Everyone wandered around the mountain for a while more. Huang Zhong was digging for herbs when he suddenly discovered something. He waved his hand and shouted, “Master, there’s mountain red here! Come and take a look!”

Mountain red was the same as hawthorn fruit. These were wild fruits that children often run to the mountains to pick.

It was unknown which ingenious person invented the candied hawthorn, but because of it, the fruit became extremely important in the hearts of the children.

Everyone followed Huang Zhong’s voice and saw one or two mountain red trees hanging with red fruits, which looked very auspicious.

Because it was wild and the mountain was not fertile to begin with, although there were many, the hawthorn was only slightly larger than Chu Tianbao’s big thumb.

Lin Yue plucked a mountain red to try it. Just as he threw it into his mouth and took a bite, his facial features twitched and he spit it out.

“This is too sour. My teeth are about to fall out.”

Seeing that Chu Tianbao was eager to try, Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Don’t eat it yet. The wild fruits in the mountains are sour to begin with. We can pick some and make them into candied hawthorn or red cakes and rolls to satisfy everyone’s cravings.”

Everyone knew about candied hawthorn, but they had never heard of red cakes and rolls.

Cui Lingyi asked curiously, “Is the red cake and roll easy to make?”

Bai Wutong smiled. “All you need is mountain red, rock sugar, and honey.”

They still had sugar, but they needed to buy honey in town.

Cui Lingyi said regretfully, “Without honey, we won’t be able to eat red cakes and rolls today.”

Bai Wutong shook her head. “Honey will improve the texture. But it’s also fine without it.”

...

When Huang Zhong heard the word honey, he sniffed around and immediately smiled. “Madam, I know where to find honey!”

When Huang Zhong said that there was honey nearby, everyone’s eyes lit up and looked like they wanted to pick the honey.

Bai Wutong shook her head and smiled. “It’s too dangerous to pick honey. Let’s make more preparations next time so that we won’t be stung by bees. Otherwise, no one will recognize us when we go back.”

Picking honey was indeed dangerous. Bai Wutong was right, so Cui Lingyi said, “Then let’s pick some mountain red now now. The red cakes and rolls Little Phoenix mentioned must be delicious.”

Their journey was arduous, so desserts became the most missed thing in the past. No one would not crave them.

Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Alright, then let’s pick more.”

When plucking the mountain red, Chu Tianbao secretly plucked one and put it into his mouth to taste. Instantly, he no longer had any expectations for it.

When Bai Wutong saw that he was eating secretly and that it was so sour that he shook his neck repeatedly, she narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Didn’t I tell you not to eat sneakily?”

Chu Tianbao pouted in grievance. “Tianbao will never eat sneakily again.”
