Chapter 324: Looking for the Monkey
The crowd gathered firewood and the flame was high. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It didn't take long for Ye Xiaofei to get up, and by the time Ye Xiaofei got up, there was already a lot of dog's tail grass in the yard.
They were neatly stacked on the dirt floor covered with colored striped cloth, and bundles were tied with straw ropes, and they looked like there were more than a hundred bundles.
Xu Xuan was holding a small notebook and pencil on the side to record something from time to time, while Ye Kaishan was helping to tie the new dog's tail through the scale and rope, while shouting to a new villager and said: "Uncle Guifu, and a few of you little rabbits, quickly put out the cigarettes in your hands and cause the fire, what can you do?"
Uncle Guifu laughed and said, "Okay, this is gone, this is not hay, what are you afraid of! But if there is this business every day, who still smokes this kind of cigarette, I also want to smoke the cigarettes I bought! Ah, it's called cigarettes, is that thing fragrant?"
The people in the courtyard burst into laughter, but they all snuffed out the cigarettes in their hands.
In the middle of the morning, there were already eight tons of dog tail grass in the yard, if it wasn't for Xu Xuan and Ye Kaishan who dispersed early and said that they would not buy it again, I am afraid that more villagers would continue to send dog tail grass.
After all, there are too many things growing all over the mountains.
With such a money-making opportunity, no one wants to make more money.
Ye Xiaofei took out the money and entrusted the village accountant Xu Xuan to distribute it on his behalf at the price of five yuan a catty, and in addition, he gave Xu Xuan two Great China cigarettes and a box of six bottles of Qingfeng Mountain old wine, which was regarded as a reward for his help.
Originally, Ye Xiaofei was going to give some money, after all, Xu Xuan didn't have time to collect dog tail grass in order to be busy, otherwise he could earn some money to supplement the family.
But Xu Xuan was stunned and didn't accept it, Ye Xiaofei knew that he was not taboo on smoking and drinking, so he gave cigarettes and alcohol as he liked, which was worth almost 2,000 yuan, which was already a very generous reward.
Ye Kaishan distributed the money to the big guy after a while, took the account book and reported to Ye Xiaofei and said, "Xiaofei, a bundle of these dog's tail grass is a hundred catties, and twenty bundles are a ton." There are 160 bundles of dog's tail grass here, weighing eight tons. A total of 80,000 yuan was spent, and this is the remaining 20,000 yuan, you take it. ”
Ye Xiaofei didn't recycle it, but said to Xu Xuan: "Uncle Xu, I don't want this money, I will donate it to the village." I see that the tables, chairs, and benches in the village committee office are all incomplete and old, so please help buy a batch of new ones and replace them when you have time. Then the old ones are also good wood, find a carpenter to process them and make them into long stools, and put them under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village so that everyone can sit in the coolness. ”
Ye Xiaofei actually didn't have a lot of money, but he really didn't miss 20,000 yuan, so he didn't ask for it back, and it could be regarded as making some contribution to the village.
Xu Xuan excused himself, and seeing that Ye Kaishan also supported Ye Xiaofei's decision, both father and son were quite resolute, so they thanked the two and left.
Ye Xiaofei took out a few dog's tail grasses and looked at the color, most of them were okay, but some of them were withered and could not be used in medicine, and some of the excess parts had to be removed.
Ye Xiaofei made a rough estimate, and it is estimated that these dog tail grasses can only leave about five tons after removing the parts that cannot be used in medicine.
If it is then dried and roasted, I am afraid that it will be good to save about a ton of medicinal dog tail grass.
If nothing else, according to the consumption of five grams of dog tail grass for one painkiller pill, one ton of dog tail grass can participate in the production of 200,000 pain relief pills.
For Ye Xiaofei, these dog-tail grasses have been able to support for a while.
Speaking of this fried dog's tail grass, it is also technical, according to the annotation on the "Primary Pill Refining Method", this is a more complicated step than fried tea, and it can only be roasted in a small pot, and each pot cannot exceed two catties.
That is to say, after these dog tail grasses are dried, I am afraid that they will have to be fried thousands of times before they can be completely made into dog tail grass with medicinal purposes.
Ye Xiaofei decided to hand over this work to Tao Dakuan and his aunt Sun Lingling in the village, both of whom have superb cooking skills, and it is much easier than others to learn this skill.
And it is inevitable that there will be other herbs that need to be processed in the future, so it is not bad for them to familiarize themselves with the common plant such as dog tail grass.
After the matter of the dog tail grass is completed, the refining of the pain pill will be settled, just wait for the tedious processes of the dog tail grass to be completed, and Ye Xiaofei will be able to open the furnace for alchemy.
Then only Pei Yuan Dan was left and there was still a lack of medicinal materials, so Ye Xiaofei had to go to the city to find out in person.
After asking Ye Kaishan to find someone to dry the dog's tail grass, Ye Xiaofei drove to Beijiang City.
The medicinal herb that was missing in refining Pei Yuan Dan was called Zhili Monkey within the scope of Beijiang City.
When Ye Xiaofei was young, he often went up the mountain at night and crowded in the forest to catch the monkeys who had just climbed the trees.
The price of this thing in the Xiuzhen Xiaohei shop is as high as 20 spiritual energy worth one piece, and it costs 20,000 spiritual energy to buy a thousand.
This is a big number, so Ye Xiaofei is reluctant to waste his aura value, Ye Xiaofei's own cultivation is low, and his own cultivation growth aura value is extremely slow, and those aura values used for consumption are all replaced by a few cliff lingzhi.
When it comes to knowing monkeys, some people may not understand them very well, but knowing monkeys also have a high-end and high-grade nickname, called golden cicadas, which is a representative species of cicada insects.
The golden cicada is a common cicada larva in summer, with high nutritional value, and it is called "Tang monk meat" when you think about it, which is the absolute supreme evaluation and praise.
Due to the nutritional value and unique style of the golden cicada, as well as the various tonic and medicinal functions that play a role in the human body, the folk have long compared eating the golden cicada to the "Tang monk meat" that can make people immortal.
In "Journey to the West", one of the four classical masterpieces in China, the "Tang monk" Elder Tang who went to the West to learn scriptures is the reincarnation of the second apprentice of Shakyamuni Buddha, "Golden Cicada".
Tang Sanzang was reincarnated from the golden cicada to the Tang monk of the true spirit of the Eastern Soil, which means "the golden cicada sheds its shell", so people take the cicada transformed into a symbol of longevity and regeneration.
Therefore, in "Journey to the West", there is a saying that eating "Tang monk meat" can lead to immortality.
In modern society, people put the nutritious "golden cicada" on the table and call it "Tang monk meat", which is a full affirmation of the nutritional value of the golden cicada.
Ye Xiaofei originally thought about organizing the villagers to go up the mountain to catch the monkey and then buy it himself, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate.
Now that the scorching heat has passed, it seems that autumn is about to begin, and the knowledge in the mountains and forests is gradually decreasing, and the big guys may not be able to catch many monkeys all night.
But Ye Xiaofei wanted to hoard some spare, so it wasn't one or two thousand that could only be sent to him, so Ye Xiaofei had to go to Beijiang City to try his luck, there are many restaurants there, and he would hoard some monkeys for spare. (To be continued.) )
