Chapter 96 Losing money hybrid?
The longevity fruit is a herbaceous fruit tree, and it also has relatives in the secular world. It is called ginseng fruit. There are rumors that eating it can lead to immortality.
Of course, it’s just a rumor.
The fruit does not look like a human being, but looks like a melon or eggplant.
Except eating.
The longevity fruit also has a good ornamental effect.
At this moment, the soybean fruit after hybridization has lost its ornamental value. The fruit is no longer exposed. Instead, it looks like a soybean pod, with long guard hairs on the outside and a huge shape.
In appearance, it is an enlarged version of soybeans.
Chen Jing picked one and took out the fruit.
The fruit still looks like a long-lasting fruit. It is smaller than a fist. If you pinch it hard with your index finger, the shell will be hard.
Hit the ground hard.
“Crack.”
The palm of my hand was shaking and hurting.
“Is this still edible?”
He felt that this hybridization should have failed. Originally, the longevity fruit melted in the mouth, but now it is so hard that it can be hit as a stone.
Even if the effect of eating it remains unchanged... it's not edible at all.
Chen Jing collected all the hybrids he had created and studied them for a while.
No result.
Then go to the Alchemy Hall.
The Dan Hall is also built on a mountain.
At the foot of the mountain is a group of buildings for ordinary disciples to rest and for the sales of elixirs at the front desk; on the mountainside is the alchemy room, with more than 300 alchemy rooms, producing all kinds of elixirs at all times.
Chen Jing went all the way up to the top of the mountain, in front of Third Senior Sister's residence.
Dong-dong knock on the door.
Not long after, the door to the house opened.
Yan Jinrao was wearing a loose white dress, and her waist-length hair had not been combed. She tilted her head slightly at this time, and her smooth long hair was spread out, which matched her eyes with a gentle smile, which was heart-warming. Warmth, tranquility and intimacy.
"Junior Brother Chen, you just made a contribution. If you didn't go to Fangshi to be happy, why did you come to the Dantang to find me?"
"You made a contribution again?"
Chen Jing was slightly startled.
Unknowingly, it has been three months since I came to the sect.
No property was allocated in the first month, and I was gambling on Dao Dan, and I only contributed 10,000 yuan for living expenses.
The property was acquired in the second month and dividends could be distributed. However, in order to repair the formation, the 400,000 contribution was spent before it was even heated.
Coupled with the addition of more than 60 spiritual cultivation monks, the spiritual rice and tools were spent, and the contribution was not enough at all. It took a while to fill the gap with the Dao Dao Dan.
Time flies so fast, I didn’t expect that it is already the third month.
Chen Jing took out the jade token and saw that this month's Spirit Beast Hall dividend of 420,000 yuan and living expenses of 10,000 yuan had all been received.
“Let’s talk about it first.”
Followed Senior Sister Yan to the hospital.
What I saw along the way were either vicious puppets or majestic divine soldiers.
It is very different from the small yard with pleasant scenery as imagined.
"They were all gifts from the eldest brother and the second brother. I am not good at fighting, so they gave me a lot of things to protect my house. Master is in the cave, and I don't go out of the cave, so it is useless."
Yan Jinrao saw that Chen Jing had been looking at these puppets and was very interested, so he mentioned it.
"Why are the eldest brother and second brother not in the sect?" Chen Jing asked.
“You have just started, and you may be a little confused as to why there are so many disciples in the sect who are not good at fighting. It’s not that there are none, but they are all fighting on the battlefield outside the territory with the senior brother.”
< br>Walking to a garden, there is a pavilion in the garden.
Yan Jinrao waved, and a bird with colorful tail feathers flew over, carrying a teapot and tea sets, and poured hot tea.
"Junior brother, there is no need to be restrained. We at Jue Tian Peak all follow the master's temperament and don't like red tape."
"I understand, how is Senior Sister Hua's injury?"
"She is still recovering from her injuries. Qingxia should have made great progress in her cultivation after this training. She will definitely be able to get out of seclusion smoothly before the ceremony. However, the medicine is expensive, and she should be able to recover again. I owe more than ten thousand spirit stones."
"..."
Chen Jing suppressed a smile for a while.
Then he asked again.
"Senior sister, if I want the Alchemy Hall to help me develop an elixir, what should I do?"
"It depends on what kind of elixir you develop. Leave your spiritual thoughts in the jade tablet. After the master reviews it, it will be sent to you." In the contribution task, you have to make this contribution, and then it depends on which elder or disciple is free to take it."
"...What if no one takes it?"
" What recipe do you want?”
“Midan”
"..."
Yan Jinrao browsed through it with his spiritual mind, and sure enough he discovered Chen Jing's uninterested mission bounty.
——New formula Midan Improvement, first level, contribution 50,000.
This is not difficult and the price is not bad. But the problem is that he made it clear that he would use a new and unprecedented main material.
Ordinary disciples do not have the ability to develop new materials. Those who are capable are already at the level of elders, and they look down on this mere 50,000 contribution points.
She told Chen Jing the reason and then said.
"It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I will help my junior brother take a look."
"Thank you, senior sister!"
Yan Jinrao smiled softly and took Chen Jingdai. Here comes the longevity beans.
Flames rose up in the palm of his hand, and the longevity beans were formed into a lump out of thin air.
The magic power of her fingertips spread out as finely as hair, and separated the lump from dry to wet. The light in her eyes was dense, and she could see every change.
"Junior brother wanted to improve the rice pill not long after he took charge of the Spiritual Beast Hall, but he is serious about it. Qingxia should learn from you."
While deducing the decomposition of longevity beans.
Yan Jinrao can still find time to chat.
Chen Jing said: "I actually want the 10,000 acres of land more. Compared with raising spiritual beasts, farming is my strength."
"Spiritual planting is just the foundation. You don't need to do it yourself. After the results are achieved, , only by refining elixirs, spiritual beasts, etc. can the value of spiritual plants be truly brought into play; therefore, the more talented you are in spiritual cultivation, the less you can immerse yourself in sowing. You need to know more about alchemy, raising spiritual beasts, and go to all walks of life. , looking back, we know which spiritual plant we need."
"That's right..."
Chen Jing seems to have a lot of hybrids on hand, but in fact there are very few. .
Because hybrids are unlimited, land and planting energy are limited. Only by looking at the needs can we hybridize what is most suitable for the current situation.
"Your immortal bean has perfect ingredients. After it is turned into a pill, it can not only replace rice pills, but also white pills (one of the five major feeding pills for spiritual pigs). Moreover, after the spiritual pig eats it, it will also be significantly better than before. What’s the yield per mu of raw materials?”
“Preliminary estimate is about three thousand kilograms.”
“It’s already better than spiritual corn and spiritual beans.”
This. The two are now the main materials of rice and white rice. Changsheng beans have become the superior substitute of spiritual corn and spiritual beans in terms of function, and the yield per mu is also low.
So there is only one question left.
"What is the cost?"
"The cost is much higher than that of spiritual corn and spiritual beans, but as feed, the price can only be in line with the former. It is estimated that the net loss per mu is about 300 contribution."
Chen Jing said.
After all, it is a three-star spiritual plant. Even if the demon bean's tenacious vitality and high seed yield are combined to greatly reduce the cost, its own breeding cost is still very high.
The yield of longevity beans is eight or nine times that of spiritual beans and spiritual corn, but the cost is more than ten times.
Although it has been greatly reduced compared to the cost of longevity fruit, which is dozens of times, the price-performance ratio is still not good.
"Junior brother, what are your plans?"
"I originally wanted to come up with a lower-cost rice pill, but failed. The cost of this new rice pill will only be higher. Now the only remaining The good thing is that eating spiritual pigs will be more beneficial... I still plan to plant a batch first so that I can understand the losses and make subsequent improvements easier."
Chen Jing was depressed.
He is still advancing this project, and is prepared to lose money for a while. In short, he will launch the first generation to test the water, and then optimize the situation according to the situation.
"That's not how the account is settled."
Yan Jinrao shook his head.
“How do you say that?”
“Although Changsheng beans are more expensive, their yield per mu is extremely high, so they save a lot of spiritual fields. There are a lot of spiritual fields in Chuhetang. Originally, These feed spiritual plants must be grown to maintain the profits of the Spirit Beast Hall. Now that the land is free, other valuable spiritual plants can be grown. What does this mean? "
"It means... Hoe Harvest Hall? Prefer to grow longevity beans? ”
"Yes, since you are in charge of the Spiritual Beast Hall, you should know that there are some industries that must be maintained even if they are losing money, because you can't just consider your own interests, you must also consider the interests of the sect as a whole... The Hoe Hort Hall also So, 10,000 acres of spiritual land are planted with many products with very low added value. Otherwise, how can we only earn a mere 800 contributions per acre of land?"
As soon as these words came out.
Chen Jing suddenly realized.
“If the immortal bean replaces the spiritual corn and spiritual beans, although the spiritual field of the eternal bean will be at a loss, the vacant spiritual field can completely make up for the loss and make more money than before. ?”
“Hmm.”
Yan Jinrao smiled and nodded, and said: "Ordinary disciples will definitely not buy your longevity bean seeds, but the Choehoutang will definitely sell the seeds to the Choehoutang at a low price, so that you can promote the longevity beans and let your pigs eat them. "New Feeding Pill."
Chen Jing suddenly had a new understanding of the selection of hybrid spiritual plants, and it turned out that there was such a perspective.
He has always been a casual cultivator, thinking only about how to cultivate his own land and make money.
But when it comes to the big platform of Zongmen, it is no longer a matter of spending money, but the overall interests.
"Before that, I will help you deduce the new formula for the new rice. After the pill is completed, you'd better take it back and give it to the spirit pigs to eat. I remember that the spirit beast hall formation has a quick-life spirit. The beast's method can quickly verify the results of this elixir. As long as there are no big mistakes, you can go to the elders of the Hoe Hall to discuss cooperation. "
Yan Jinrao did not forget to teach him how to do it later.
“Thank you, senior sister, for teaching me.”
“No need to say thank you. After the new elixir recipe came out, our alchemy hall was also a beneficiary. You don’t know, but now there are hundreds of alchemy rooms on the mountainside. Refining some elixirs such as feeding pills, which are not very profitable; and this new feeding pill is at least the second level, the income of the alchemy room will also increase, and these contributions will be earned by your Spiritual Beast Hall."
Yan Jinrao smiled.
Okay, I just remembered that there is a charging procedure here.
Chen Jing was dumbfounded, but selling seeds to Chuhetang should be able to offset this increase in expenses.
After all the calculations, I failed to achieve the goal of reducing costs. However, Hua Qingxia’s Hoe Hall and Senior Sister Yan’s Alchemy Hall both saw some revenue growth.
However, it is not a loss if you guarantee the bottom line. After all, the pigs can eat better quality feed at a cheaper price.
As for making money, it depends on how much the pigs change after eating the new feed.
