"That big?" Fangzheng jumped in fright as well!
Cabbage was one of the most common vegetables in the northeast. Fangzheng had grown up in cabbage fields from a young age, so he had seen countless cabbages. However, Fangzheng was willing to bet that with normal genetics, there was no bigger cabbage in the world!
That wasn't the main point. It was still night time, and the moon had yet to set. The moonlight poured down and illuminated the cabbage, making it glow!
The silver-white moonlight had a tinge of blue as it scattered on the cabbage. The cabbage exuded a strange silver gray that was as white as jade! Above the white jade were emerald-green leaves. At a glance, how was it cabbage? It was clearly a jade carving! At that moment, Fangzheng finally understood why the cabbage was called White Jade Cabbage! The monks on Mount Numinous were using too many tricks. They had named it according to its appearance. Lazy! Bad review!
Ka!
At that moment, there was a crisp sound!
The sound wasn't loud, but it sounded different when it landed on Mt. One Finger.
It was late autumn, and the sky had yet to brighten. The birds were still sleeping. Frost had just fallen, and the world was cold. The insects were all hibernating. Apart from the occasional sound of the wind, the entire mountaintop was so silent that even a pin drop could be heard!
Therefore, the sound instantly attracted everyone's attention. Fangzheng, Monkey, Lone Wolf, and Red Boy swept their curious eyes towards the source of the sound! At some point in time, Squirrel had run to the side of the White Jade Cabbage and had bitten it!
After the fellow bit down and produced a sound, he did not dare move. He stood there, looking pitifully at everyone with his large eyes. It was as though he was saying: "I didn't do it on purpose. Do you believe me?"
At that instant, everyone's eyes were filled with the desire to kill Squirrel. They were united against a common enemy!
"Jingxin, add some meat to this morning's breakfast," Fangzheng grunted.
Red Boy licked his lips and said, "Master, although Squirrel is fat, he's still a little small. With so many of us eating, there might not be enough to share. Why don't we stew some soup? "
"I heard that people like to eat barbecue, roasted pigeons, roasted suckling pigs, etc. Why don't we roast Squirrel too? It's so fat. It will definitely be covered in oil, "said Monkey.
Lone Wolf gulped and said, "If you guys don't mind, I want to sprinkle some cumin …"
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. Before he could say a word, he felt his trousers tighten. He looked down and saw Squirrel hugging his leg. He looked at Fangzheng with watery eyes and shouted, "Master! I know you're the best! You definitely can't bear to eat me, right? "
Fangzheng nodded. "That's right. I can't bear to part with it. Besides, I'm a monk. I'm going to become a Buddha in the future. How can I kill and eat meat? "
Squirrel's eyes lit up. This was hope!
Fangzheng continued. "Therefore, when they roast it, This Penniless Monk will take a whiff and watch."
"Pfft!" Squirrel's eyes rolled back as he fainted.
Everyone burst into laughter when they saw this. This little thing only eats and sleeps all day. Although it has developed intelligence, it is still like a child, jumping around every day without a care in the world. Not only did he fail to notice such a low-level tease, he even fainted from fright …
Everyone shook their heads slightly. Monkey lifted Squirrel up and stuffed him into his squirrel nest.
As for the cabbage being bitten?
With Squirrel's tiny body, how much could he eat even if he ate with all his might, much less a single bite?
However, such a huge and flawless cabbage had been destroyed just like that. Everyone felt their hearts ache seeing this.
Red Boy looked at the hole and asked Fangzheng, "Master, it's all spoilt. What a pity."
Fangzheng shook his head and smiled. "I planted this cabbage to eat, not to look at it. Even if your senior brother didn't bite it, we would have stewed it. Alright, since you are all awake, don't stay idle. Let's have a taste of the cabbage from Mount Numinous. Let's see how it tastes different from the cabbage at home! "
The moment Fangzheng shouted, the group of gluttons instantly forgot to appreciate the beauty of art. Those with hands began to eat, while those without hands …
"Jingfa! Shut up! If you dare bite it, you are not allowed to eat it! "Fangzheng, Red Boy, and Monkey berated in unison.
What a joke. This is placed in a pot for cooking. You dare bite it? If you bite it, wouldn't everyone be eating your saliva? Just the thought of it disgusted him.
Therefore, Lone Wolf bitterly went from pulling the cabbage to carrying it in a basket with his mouth.
The cabbage was just too big. Fangzheng estimated that a single leaf was enough for everyone to eat. Therefore, after pulling off a leaf, he tore it apart and threw it into the basket for Lone Wolf to carry away.
But here came the problem. What was the rest to be done?
The cabbage was too big and heavy. The flower pot that it was planted in had long been crushed. The crisp sound in the middle of the night was the flower pot's final cry when it could not withstand the heavy burden and gloriously sacrificed itself. Now that there was no flower pot, the White Jade Cabbage's roots were all outside. If they did not quickly deal with it, it was unknown if it would spoil … After all, it was something from a different world. If it became fragile, no one could do anything about it.
"Don't worry for nothing. Products from Mount Numinous are definitely exquisite. Although this is only from the foot of Mount Numinous, it's better than the cabbages here. Your cabbages have grown up. Without soil, as long as the air temperature is sufficiently cold, they can be stored for an entire winter. Furthermore, this is a supreme-grade White Jade Cabbage from Mount Numinous, "said the System disdainfully.
"Does it mean that it can be stored very well?" Fangzheng's eyes lit up. Such a huge cabbage could basically solve a month's problem of vegetables! Eating cabbage every meal was definitely not possible, and he would get sick of the Ambrosia Nectar. However, if it was paired with other vegetables, it could basically last for more than two months! It was definitely worth it!
"Yes, it can be stored for a week!" said the System.
Fangzheng was just about to marvel when he suddenly jolted to his senses. He exclaimed, "A week!? It can only be stored for a week? "
"What do you think? Do you think Mount Numinous's White Jade Cabbage is the same as the cabbages in your fields? Once it leaves the soil, without the nourishment of Spirit Qi, the Spirit Qi contained in it will rapidly dissipate. Without Spirit Qi, it will just be an ordinary cabbage. Apart from being huge, there's nothing special about it. Of course, if you don't mind, you can eat it for even longer, "said the System.
Fangzheng was rendered speechless when he heard that. He stroked his chin and stared at the White Jade Cabbage in front of him. Storing the White Jade Cabbage was indeed a problem!
"System, is there no other solution?" asked Fangzheng.
"Yes, you can use a sealed water jar made entirely of jade to store it. It can extend its shelf life by a month," said the System.
"Made entirely of jade? And it's sealed? " Fangzheng's voice grew louder and louder. Although he did not know the price of jade, he knew one thing. It was extremely expensive! Furthermore, jade was typically not big. A jade the size of a water jar? Fangzheng guessed that he would not be able to buy it even if he sold his monastery.
"Is there any other solution? The economical and cheap kind! "Fangzheng had no choice but to add a suffix.
