Being Blind For Five Years, All My Disciples Became Forbidden Curse Mages-Chapter 84 - 84 Extremely Awkward

84 Extremely Awkward

Fang Ping climbed out of his sleeping bag and swiftly packed his things. The surroundings were still very dark, but he could see the carriage carrying water parked not far away.

It was a pleasant thing to drink hot water in the cold morning.

After eating the yellow melon pancakes for breakfast, the team set off.

Today was very uneventful. There were no magical beasts disturbing them, and nothing happened. They just kept walking.

However, the further they walked, the less traces of human activity could be seen on the road. The traces on the road were originally shallower, and the two sides of the road were more desolate.

The next night, there happened to be a huge withered tree beside the resting place. A few Warriors moved out together and cut it into pieces of wood.

Soon, a huge bonfire was lit in the middle of the team. In the cold wind, the bonfire made people feel comfortable.

Fang Ping was holding a skewer of wild vegetables that Qing Niao had helped him find. It was quite satisfying to roast the vegetables by the fire. However, because there were no seasonings, the taste was actually not very good.

“Qingniao, you’re quite impressive. You know so much about wild vegetables.”

“When I was young, I relied on these to survive without yellow melons. However, after so many years, I’ve forgotten a lot.

These are easier to recognize. Don’t worry, they’re all edible.”

“It’s fine. There’s a Forbidden Life Spell, Purification, and healing spells. Even if it’s poisonous, I won’t die.”

There were very few vegetables and fruits in this world. Fang Ping ate yellow melons and roasted meat all day long. Now that he had a change of taste and ate vegetarian food, he was looking forward to it.

“What are you doing? What is this? Is it edible?”

A girl who was also warming herself by the fire asked.

Fang Ping glanced at her. Her name was Bianca, and she was a Ranger. Her archery skills were quite accurate. Moreover, her bow was very cool. It was completely golden and shone brightly in the light.

This was the benefit of being a commander. He could see the details of many people.

He looked at the wild vegetables in his hand again. They were wrinkled and wilted. They hung on a branch and were roasted. The vegetables were already dried, but he did not know if they were cooked. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

“This is wild vegetables, butterfly vegetables. It’s edible,” Qing Niao beside him replied. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

“It’s vegetables?” Bianca turned around. “I haven’t eaten in two days. Can you sell me a skewer? I’ll pay. How much is a skewer?”

Qing Niao looked at the string of coins in her hand and handed it to Bianca. “No need. We picked quite a lot. Here you go.”

“Unfortunately, it’s almost the Snow Moon now. When it’s the Flower Moon, there will be more wild vegetables to eat.”

“Thank you. Then, I’ll give you a copper horn.”

As Bianca spoke, she took out a bronze horn and handed it to Qing Niao. pushed it back. “No need, no need. We picked it in the wilderness. It’s not anything expensive. It’s not worth anything.”

“You’re a working student, right? You don’t even have any armor. Save some money to buy a set of armor.” Bianca handed the money over again.

Qing Niao looked at Fang Ping, and accepted the money. “Alright, just that one bronze horn is too much. I’ll roast a few more skewers for you.”

Fang Ping watched as Bianca took it and began to rummage through her backpack happily. In the end, she took out two small cloth bags and placed them on the ground. She grabbed something from them and sprinkled it on the wild vegetables.

Noticing Fang Ping’s gaze, she pointed at the cloth bag. “Salt and pepper. Add a little, and the taste will be better.”

“Pepper?”

“You’ve never seen it before, right? This is good stuff. Add a little when you eat. It’s fragrant,” Bianca said as she tied the cloth bag. She had no intention of giving it to Fang Ping.

“This pepper is a specialty of Starfire City. Its price is comparable to a silver dragon. It’s not easy to buy it.”

As she spoke, she picked a wild vegetable from the branch and placed it in her mouth.

“It tastes good. It’s quite fragrant, but it’s a little old. It’ll be fine if it’s more tender.”

“I’ll pick you a tender one,” Qing Niao said.

Fang Ping also tried the wild vegetables. They were dry and did not have much moisture. The taste… was a little like eating grass. It was really not delicious.

Wild vegetables grew naturally and had not been artificially planted, improved, cultivated, and fertilized. It was normal for them to not taste good.

Of course, it was also related to Fang Ping’s poor roasting skills.

A cloth bag was handed over. “Do you want some salt? It’s more flavorful.”

“Thank you, but no, I have it.”

Fang Ping had salt with him. The price of salt was not particularly expensive. One catty of salt in a bag only cost one copper horn.

Well, except…

The taste of this salt was a little strange. It had a faint bitter taste. It was probably because the purification was not good.

“This is Snowflake Salt of Myriad View City. A bag costs ten copper horns.”

Seeing that Bianca did not retract his hand, Fang Ping reached out and grabbed a little.

The salt was finer and whiter. He sprinkled it on the vegetables and tried it. There was no bitterness, only saltiness. Other than that, there was nothing special.

Isn’t this just fine salt?

“Well? Not bad, is it?” Bianca tucked the bag away and went back to her roasted wild vegetables.

Fang Ping chuckled. ‘As long as you’re happy.’

There were very few seasonings in this world. This was because the main food crop was yellow melons. Yellow melons could not be made into wine, but they could be made into vinegar. However, the production process was complicated and the failure rate was high. Vinegar was actually not cheap.

At the same time, there was no soy sauce because there were very few legume crops.

In addition, the agriculture in this world was not developed. Even vegetable cultivation was not popular, so there were even fewer spice crops.

The most common ones were salt and sugar. Although the yellow melon was not sweet, its branches could be refined into sugar.

Fang Ping could feel that the Yellow Melon, an outstanding showbiz crop, was supporting this world.

Most of the cooking relied on the original taste of the food. Coupled with the addition of energy, many Magical Beast meat only needed to be processed to be delicious.

After thinking about a bunch of useless things, he looked at the roasted wild vegetables in his hand… He really had no appetite.

Qing Niao was still roasting wild vegetables. Bianca sat waiting expectantly.

When the food in the general environment was not good, this was indeed a delicious vegetarian food.

Fang Ping sighed and continued eating the unpalatable wild vegetables. It was easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

The appearance of delicious food was actually determined by the background of society.

A stable society and sufficient material resources were the prerequisites for the appearance of various delicacies.

Sigh, he probably wouldn’t be able to eat it in his life.

After swallowing all the wild vegetables, Fang Ping took out his sleeping bag and prepared to sleep.

Tonight, Fang Ping was part of the fourth batch to keep watch. It was about two or three in the morning. After keeping watch for two hours, he still had to sleep early.

The night watch was a special place to sleep. When the time came, he would wake up the next person from the right to the left.

Fang Ping was about to crawl into the sleeping bag when a person was already lying on his right.

It was a girl. The sleeping bag was wrapped tightly around her head, revealing only her face.

Under the light of the fire, she was quite beautiful. Her facial features were upright, her lips were red, and her skin was fair. Her long eyelashes swayed in the wind, and she was a little charming.

She frowned and opened her eyes. Her eyes met Fang Ping’s.

Fang Ping quickly took a step back, feeling a little awkward.

“Fang Ping? What are you doing?”
