Chapter 126 Stone Civilization
On the large colorful bag of spider silk that Mo Lan was carrying, there was a brown and yellow Watase flame spider pattern, a black ant pattern, and a lifelike snow white and pink orchid mantis pattern. .
This time we parted, we will never see each other again.
Mo Lan was in a low mood.
Long Bai carried the heavy metal can and led the way, but hesitated to speak.
"I said..."
"Oh..."
"This spider silk bag woven by Bai Wei..."
"What's wrong?"
< br>"The proportions of the pattern are wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"Spiders are too big. Ants and mantises are too small."
"Isn't that the case?"
"Insects always have to grow. , you and I will eventually grow up.”
“Yes——”
Mo Lan: "Growing up has made me lose friends."
Long Bai: "..."
Long Bai silently led the way back to the docking location of the throne deep inside the starship.
I brought back 1,500 rough stones from this trip.
In the early summer of this year, 1,000 pieces of the crimson god-given fruits will be used when they are ripe to properly ensure the quality of the fruits and relieve the pressure on the crimson god-given seeds during the fruit ripening period.
In the late winter of this year, 500 of the seeds of the God-given Nango must be used to ripen.
Southern jujube is ripe this autumn, so there is no rough stone available.
In the coming year, a total of 1,000 rough stones will be needed for the ripe fruits of Molan’s fragrant orchid and gorgonian seeds. The ripe fruits of Ghost Fan’s god-given seeds will cost 800 rough stones.
With so many God-given seeds ripening alternately, we will need to find a caravan to get a fixed batch of rough stones every year.
Long Bai and Mo Lan must consider the issue of rough stone reserves as soon as possible.
In the future, when you are promoted to Mountain Master, your God-given seeds will undergo a qualitative leap. During this period, you will consume a lot of raw power, and you will have to spend a lot of raw stones to replenish it.
Rough stones are heavy and take up space. Caravan trading is more inclined to barter. They only carry a limited amount of rough stones and provide spot goods in limited quantities.
Luo Jun and Qiye get 1,000 pieces every year.
Bai Wei has few goods. Every time I come here, I can help deliver more.
……
Simple tidy up.
The throne of control flies along the passage.
"Mo Lan, in Black Lotus Lake, there are important discoveries of green cypress and fragrant cypress."
Long Bai took the initiative to talk about some interesting topics.
Mo Lan was a little interested and asked: "What discovery?"
Long Bai: "Put all meat in boiling water and cook it. It will taste better."
"Oh——"
Mo Lan said angrily: "Still eating it!"< br>
“…Okay.”
Long Bai changed the topic and said: “Mo Lan, I also thought of a very promising thing.”
"What's going on?"
"Mining!"
"Mining?"
"Original mine!"
"Where to dig?"< br>
Mo Lan's gloomy emotions were swept away, her eyes were shining, and she asked:
"Where to dig?"
"First we have to find the original stone veins."
" Where to find it? ”
“The distribution of raw stone veins follows certain rules.”
"What's the pattern?"
"More in the north, less in the south."
"Oh~"
"Usually located within large mountain ranges."
"Oh!"
"In the middle of summer this year, we can go to the north. All the way to the north, very north. Looking for the land of the Force, specifically the kind of land with the towering mountains."
"Okay. ! Okay!"
Mo Lan cheered, looking forward to it, and said: "Then we are not looking for the land of force and Zerg warriors in the south?"
Long Bai: "Every year. In early summer and early autumn, I went on a business trip and searched along the way. Depending on the situation, I still have to stay in the ant nest this winter and concentrate on cultivating soldier ants and growing the ant kingdom."
Mo Lan: "Yes. ! ”
...
On the way back, Long Bai hunted hares, pheasants, wild boars, pythons and other common animals, and also dug out several nests of bird eggs. Return to Xianglan Mountain at dusk.
Long Bai called back the juniper on the peak west of the garrison territory.
Shannan Restaurant, gather together.
A metal jar holds water and is placed in the center. There are xiangguo seeds, lotus seeds, and gorgon seeds in the jar.
There are also wild citrus collected last winter. Some bored worker ants hung the peels on the branches at the entrance of the cave when peeling them. Now they have dried naturally.
Citrus peels have a special smell, so Long Bai also got some and threw them in. His 'boiling' ability was activated slowly and continuously, turning it into a can of flavorful soup.
Put the bird eggs in first and cook them.
The worker ants are busy cutting the meat into long strips or large pieces.
Under the expectant gazes of ink orchid, juniper, juniper, and giant cypress, Long Bai twisted up a piece of wild boar meat and threw it into the jar.
Increase raw energy output.
The tank is boiling violently.
After blanching for about ten seconds, Long Bai removed his original energy and took out the meat strips.
“Mo Lan, try it!”
"Okay!"
Mo Lan dipped the ant honey in it, took a small sip, swung its tentacles, surprised, pleasantly surprised, and praised:
"The taste is really different!"
< br>“It’s delicious!”
We are all carnivorous insects, and our tastes are basically the same.
Long Bai shook his tentacles to signal.
Juniper, juniper, and giant cypress all twisted up the cut meat strips and threw them into the metal can.
Long Bai activates the boiling ability, and the boiling water continues to roll for about ten seconds, removing the original energy.
“It’s delicious.”
“It tastes better.”
"The fragrance is richer."
"Your Majesty, you are so wise."
Juniper, juniper, and giant cypress tasted it and all praised it.
Yunbai said: "Longbai Ant King, if we collect more materials with special aroma and add them to the jar, the cooked meat will definitely be more delicious, right?"
"It should be so!"
Long Bai said: "Since everyone thinks it's good, then we will make corresponding changes in the way we eat in the future. All meat must be boiled in boiling water before eating."
Long Bai then arranged: "Juniper , you and Xiangbai are responsible for finding and collecting materials suitable for adding flavor to the food. If you don’t know anything, you can come to me and ask.”
Xiangbai: “Understood!” br>Jubai asked: "Your Majesty, when will Xiangbai and Cuibai come back?"
Longbai: "The fishing efficiency is low, and 50 specialized blue ants cannot be fully loaded so easily. The blue reservoir is being built Okay, I’ll go over there and transport them back in batches.”
"Eat."
Long Bai greeted, activating his ability to boil the water.
In unison, strips of meat and pieces of meat were thrown into the jar.
Cooked.
Take it, I will pick it up with my claws.
Juniper said quietly: "It tastes good when cooked like this, but it's a bit laborious."
Juniper: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion!"
You are the stupidest one. , you still like to give suggestions.
Long Bai: "Say."
Juniper: "We can find branches with hooks, punch holes in the meat, hang it on the branches, and then put it in a pot to cook. This way No need to work hard to get it.”
Huh——
What a clever idea!
Long Bai immediately ordered: "Jiunbai, take the worker ants out of the nest and find a few branches to come back."
"Okay." Junbai led the worker ants and set off.
Long Bai: "When I eat this meat, it doesn't taste as delicious as the one I ate at Black Lotus Lake. I guess it's because the fish is not cooked. Jun Bai, take two blue soldiers down the mountain. Go to Beiqian Reservoir and catch two fish.”
Juniper: "Uh..."
Junior: "Okay."
Junior reluctantly took the soldier ants down the mountain.
Long Bai is an ant king who strives for perfection.
The fish is sent up the mountain, cleaned and thrown into a jar to be boiled, and then other meat is cooked. It tastes better.
Fish meat can improve the quality of soup.
Long Bai also realized other problems. The metal can was too small and the mouth of the can was too narrow.
The solution is very simple.
Go up the mountain to search the next day, pick the hardest rock, cut off a piece, and polish it into a stone vessel with a diameter of 50 cm and a depth of 15 cm.
It’s too bulky and troublesome to clean, but everything else is fine.
Long Bai went up the mountain to look for stones again, and made two more large stone pots and placed them outside the cave.
In the future, regular, large-scale hunting will be carried out to provide extra meals to the worker ants and soldier ants, and this new way of eating will be popularized throughout the ant kingdom.
