Chapter 498 Cruel
This kind of refreshing side dish is actually not common in their rural area.
The main reason is that no one has the unique ability to eat this kind of wild vegetable. When they see a field of white vegetables, they will immediately grab them.
The freshest sprouts are delicious whether they are used to make porridge or stir-fry.
Although these roots used to make kimchi are a bit old, they are still crispy and delicious.
Unless they specifically keep it, ordinary farmers will not keep too much at home. The kimchi jar cannot only hold one kind of vegetable, but also needs to leave space for other vegetables.
"Are there any wild vegetables that have been properly preserved? Let us take a look." Professor Ye made this request with a little embarrassment.
Knowing that the season for wild vegetables has passed, it is really unreasonable to ask for unpickled vegetables.
But this wild vegetable is obviously the neutralizing medicine they are looking for. Once it works successfully, it will surely benefit future generations!
"How come I didn't know about this kind of dish when I lived in your village?"
Lao Lin couldn't help but raise his doubts. He wanted to live directly in the mountains during that time, but there was no trace at all.
At this point, Mrs. Wen couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. Although they were hospitable, they still treated their guests differently in their hearts.
Usually, we entertain guests with pickles grown at home. Delicious food like this is only given as gifts to close people.
"This kind of food will disappear without a trace in just a few days. You just missed the season. If you want to eat it again, you can only wait until the autumn rains."
"If this dish is helpful to you, I can go back to the village right now and get everyone's collection!"
Mrs. Wen patted her chest and immediately changed the subject, not hesitating to issue a military order.
Although the medicinal properties of pickled food have changed, it is better than nothing.
Lao Lin and Professor Ye looked at each other and could only make do with it.
Chen Zhuyi never expected that this was the snow vegetable he had eaten before.
"Isn't this kind of food very common around Beijing? There are quite a few where I live."
Chen Zhuyi said it softly, but was still a little hesitant.
Oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are called oranges, while those grown in the north of the Huai River are called tangerines.
Perhaps, due to different living environments, even if the names are the same, the effects of medicine will be completely different.
"Let's try our best. We don't have any demands now!"
Professor Ye let go of Mrs. Wen without thinking, and turned to look at Chen Zhuyi with burning eyes. He wished he could go back with him right now and clean up all the wild vegetables to facilitate his research.
"Let's see how much use these things can have. If you want wild vegetables, I'll help you contact someone later and have them transported over."
Chen Zhuyi has decided to call Uncle Wang.
Although the transportation routes are not yet fully mature, things will surely go smoothly with the state taking the lead this time.
"Okay, let's divide some of these dishes and let everyone try them first."
Professor Ye nodded and agreed, planning to take a two-pronged approach. The matter concerning Mrs. Wen could not be delayed, and Chen Zhuyi also had to contact someone to send the things over immediately.
For them, what follows is a long wait.
Eric was obviously not a very patient person. The Lighthouse Nation had already contacted him first, which delayed the response time.
Father Huo is also trying his best to rush to the Lighthouse Country. Once he arrives at the scene, the people of the Lighthouse Country will have to give an explanation.
Even if there are obstacles along the way, it can only help buy seven days at most.
Eric must seize this moment to clear himself of suspicion, or be prepared to sacrifice his life for his country.
If he doesn't want to die, then he can only let someone else die in his place!
So, Iida-kun was called over again.
Unlike his usual calm and fawning self, today Iida-kun's expression is full of hesitation and entanglement.
He even tiptoed around like a thief, afraid of being seen.
Eric's reputation is already very bad. Anyone who comes into contact with him is tantamount to putting a hat on his own head.
Coupled with the reputation of the possible criminal, people with some abilities actively backed away.
If not for this, Eric wouldn't have just been staring at these lackeys. Iida-kun and he are now grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and neither can fly away!
"Why are you hiding from me like this? Are you afraid of being implicated by me, just like those people?"
Eric's eyelids twitched, and he was extremely dissatisfied with this timid behavior.
"Of course not, but... there are so many people out there with so many gossips, and I also need to consider your reputation. Besides, if I stay in the dark, I can better share your worries."
Iida-kun's answer was very formal, as if he had no selfish motives, but only he knew his little tricks.
"Since you are so willing to sacrifice for me, I won't hide it from you anymore."
Eric smiled coldly and didn't give Iida-kun any time to react before he spoke directly from his heart.
"I want you to kill Aretha right now."
"And I promise you in your name that your wife, children and elders will definitely benefit from this."
Iida-kun was so frightened that he took two steps back and sat down on the ground.
He contributed to others in order to live a better life, but he never thought about dying.
Now, who doesn't know that Aretha is surrounded by the best soldiers in the East as guards?
He hasn't lived enough, so he won't seek death!
"I can't take on this task. With my ability, I can't complete it at all."
Faced with the choice between being a dead man or being a hero, Iida-kun very cleverly chose to give in.
"I will help you and give you a chance to be alone with Aretha. All you have to do is kill her, admit that you were coerced by Dongfang, and sprinkle the powder on everyone you come into contact with. That's enough."
Eric only gave a few words of earnest advice, which pointed out a smooth path like a gift.
Given Huo Jinzhi's personality, he would definitely stay with Aretha, so no matter whether Aretha was alive or dead, he would definitely be the first person to break in.
Once Huo Jinzhi is infected with the virus, how long can Chen Zhuyi and the others continue to be stubborn?
In this game, Aretha's life is not important at all. They want to capture Huo Jinzhi directly!
Iida-kun widened his eyes in even greater panic, and before he could even utter a word of refusal, the black muzzle of a gun was pointed directly at his head.
"Guess...how many ways do I have to make your family pay a heavy price?"
Eric smiled, but the words that came out of his mouth were almost cruel.
