The wild boar is too heavy, and Kasu will not stay in Hualu Village for a long time. Even if he carries it down the mountain, it will just be left there to rot.
So just chop off a leg as a token of your appreciation.
At noon, smoke gradually rose from the wall of a low hut on the edge of Hualu Village, close to Mount Bilna.
In the yard, Ka Zheng was cutting the wild boar's legs into long strips, then stringing them together with branches and placing them on a rack.
There is a constant burning and rising high-temperature flame underneath, and every time the flame licks the pork, the pork will make a sizzling sound.
The light yellow oil stains slowly dripped down on the meat.
It fell into the fire with a loud bang.
A faint aroma of barbecue filled the yard.
Kaxiu brought some seasonings, which are now ready for use.
White salt was sprinkled on the surface of the meat, and quickly blended with the juice under the high temperature, caressing the red meat texture.
At the end, sprinkle lightly with pepper.
Kaxiu didn't mind the heat and took a bite. It tasted good, but a little old. Or the meat was tough.
After a few more bites, he took out some bread and water to go with it.
In less than half an hour, all the barbecue was eaten up. Kaxiu's appetite was much larger than that of a normal adult male. After all, a strong body requires a lot of energy to support it.
After solving the lunch problem, he cleaned up Levi's house again. Then he left Hualu Village with the orchid grass and the package. All the villagers didn't know that Kaxiu had been there.
The main reason why he left in a hurry was that he was afraid that those delicate orchids would die, and if they died, his persuasiveness would be reduced.
Although it's harmless, it's still better to be safe.
Kaxiu didn't have a bullock cart to ride this time, so he could only walk to Heisha City. Fortunately, he had an extraordinary physique, and his speed, physical strength, and endurance were top-notch. It took him twice as long to reach Heisha City on foot than on a slow bullock cart.
Still the same as before, go to the city to find out the news first.
Black Sand City and Oak City were not much different, both were scenes from around 1880. Apart from the main roads in the city, some of the other branches were still dirt roads.
The most popular means of transportation during this era was the horse-drawn carriage.
The city center is quite prosperous. A woman wearing a feather round hat and a black long skirt is sitting in a carriage, with her hands naturally folded on her belly, looking graceful and elegant. Next to her is an old gentleman who is well-dressed, wearing a top hat and a suit, and holding a cane.
The two men got off the carriage and walked into the Gaoda Theater.
On the road in the distance, a strange thing drove over. It had four wheels, was made entirely of steel, and was painted black.
The front is square like a box, with a chair similar to a carriage in the middle and a small seat in the back.
Listening to the rattling mechanical sound, Kaxiu stopped and watched.
This type of car is primitive enough...
He spent the whole afternoon to get the information he wanted. Tomorrow at noon, there will be a train heading to Oak City. Kaxiu paid to book a room in a hotel, and then bought a few sturdy flower pots and a large box.
After spending a night in Heisha City, around ten o'clock the next morning, Kaxiu was waiting for the train to pass at the designated location.
Finally, around eleven o'clock, approaching twelve o'clock.
A steam locomotive spewing black smoke appeared on the track. Kaxiu skillfully climbed in and started his journey back.
*********************
"What did you say?! Is it true or false?!"
In the quiet room, Lixia looked at Kasu with a shocked expression: "This kind of news can't be joked about! If I report it and the news turns out to be false... You might even be expelled from the Wind Xiang Sect..."
Opposite him, Kashu had anticipated Lisha's reaction. He did not reply, but silently opened the big box next to him.
Suddenly, four blue orchids with green in them appeared in front of Lisha, and a faint smell of earth wafted out.
Facts speak louder than words. No matter how many words you use, they are not as good as putting the real thing in front of others. Four living orchids...
In fact, Kaxiu brought back seven or eight plants, but half of them died on the way. This delicate herb could not withstand the test.
Fortunately, Kaxiu took the train and returned quickly. If he had traveled slowly, I'm afraid all the orchids would have died by the time he returned.
"Teacher, I brought back a few plants. Do you think they are..."
Kaxiu put the box on the ground and pushed it over gently.
Lisha's breathing was a little rapid, she stared at the four herbs closely, sat cross-legged, and carefully took out a pot.
In the sunlight, the veins of the leaves are clearly visible, just like the radial extension of the orchid. The peach-shaped leaves are quite full, and the green leaf surface is slightly blue in the sunlight.
Everything matches, and the condition is very good.
Lisha took a closer look and smelled it, and there was a fresh fragrance.
"It's true!!!" She was now filled with indescribable shock and belated joy. Lisha knew too well the importance of a bluegrass producing area to the Wind Gate!
This is equivalent to directly reducing the cost of precious training potions by half! It can even go a step further, because the orchid heart grass is in short supply. Beiliu County's annual output is only a little bit.
Therefore, the Feng Xiang Sect only has this much supply of potions every year, and only the senior leaders and teachers can use it. As for the large number of disciples, it depends on whether their masters are generous and willing to share some of their monthly supply.
If what Kaxiu said was true, and he discovered a place where the orchid grass was produced, then there would be earth-shaking changes in the Fengxiang Sect, and the top leaders would be shocked by the news.
"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!" Lisha couldn't stop coughing, her cheeks flushed with excitement. She looked at Kasu with burning eyes, and the tiger-like eyes seemed to eat Kasu.
"Tell me what happened again! Tell me in detail!" Lisha is actually quite calm. Today is the most urgent day for her in the past ten years: "Sit here and talk..."
Kaxiu had anticipated this and immediately stated it again.
Halfway through his speech, he was interrupted by Lisha: "You mean, there is a whole area of orchid grass! There are along both sides of the stream, from top to bottom, the range is more than a hundred meters!"
"Yes." Kaxiu nodded affirmatively.
"This... Such a large area..." Lisha couldn't help but click her tongue. After a while, she asked, "How is the quality? Is it similar to the ones you brought back?"
"Yes." Kaxiu nodded again. He paused and added, "It should be better than what I brought back. After all, herbs are very delicate. After two days in the box, the leaves have wilted..."
"Huh..." Lixia took a few deep breaths, as if she wanted to cough, but she held it back: "Let me relax for a while..."
Just like that, there was an eerie silence in the room for several minutes.
After Lixia recovered her breath, she broke the silence: "This matter cannot be delayed. I will report to the higher-ups right away! Give me the box."
Kashu quickly put the flowerpot back, closed the wooden box, put it in the right position, and handed it to Lisha carefully.
"This matter is of great importance. You must not reveal it to anyone else. Just keep it in your heart. When the time comes, the sect will definitely give you a lot of rewards. Your master promises you! Don't worry!" Lisha picked up the box and patted Kasu's strong shoulder.
"I have to go find my master first, your master's grandfather."
"If he comes forward, the higher-ups will definitely give you enough benefits!"
