Chapter 1323: Sturgeon Eggs

When the three of them had breakfast together the next morning, Zhang Yuxin and Chen Lan both found that each other was significantly different from yesterday. Not only does the skin look much moisturized, but even the complexion is much better. Both of them knew that this was of course related to Xiao Ping, and they both felt a little embarrassed. However, after exchanging a tacit look, Zhang Yuxin and Chen Lan couldn't help but laugh.

Looking at the rippling smiles on Zhang Yuxin and Chen Lanqiao's faces, Xiao Ping was also deeply pleased. Although he didn't sleep in the middle of the night by rushing to two venues last night, it made the relationship between Zhang Yuxin and Chen Lan closer, and it was also very worthwhile. It seems that as long as you continue to work hard, it is not impossible to share the blessings of Qi with Zhang Yuxin and Chen Lan.

But today is already Monday, Zhang Yuxin and Chen Lan are going back to work, Xiao Ping's idea can only be said later. He acted as a driver to send Zhang Yuxin to the company, and then sent Chen Lan to the high-speed train to Wuxi City, and then leisurely returned to the farm in Su City. I've been so busy lately, it's time to go home and rest for a few days.

After returning to the farm, the first thing Xiao Ping did was to enter the demon refining pot to check on the newly adopted small animals.

After living in the alchemy pot for a few days, both the baby jaguar and the parrot were much better. The baby jaguar has been completely accepted by the adoptive mother's Black Panther family, and when Xiao Ping enters the demon refining pot, he is playing happily with several little greyhounds. Seeing Xiao Ping appear, the little jaguar and the little greyhound immediately greeted him and played around his legs.

Looking at the lively little jaguar, Xiao Ping couldn't help but smile and said, "Spotted, you seem to have grown up again." ”

"Spot" is the name that Xiao Ping gave to the baby jaguar. It already understands it. Hearing his master mention his name, Spotted raised his head and called out to him. Then he ran away with the little greyhound.

Looking at the fat butts of a few little guys, Xiao Ping was also very satisfied. It's also a bit strange to say. Although the jaguar is a carnivore, the appearance of the spots does not seem to make the horses and cattle in the demon refining pot nervous in any way. Even as the speckled cows played hide-and-seek with the little greyhounds around a few calves, the herd was grazing quietly and did not see it as a threat.

Even the most vigilant head horse, the black devil, saw the spot, and just snorted disdainfully and walked away. It seems that the horses and cattle also know that the carnivores in the demon refining pot do not pose any threat to them.

And the spotted really has little interest in these herbivores, and he doesn't look at these horses and cows, which are supposed to be jaguar prey, and prefers to play with his foster siblings.

This is a clear violation of the laws of nature. It also made Xiao Ping feel a little puzzling. However, considering the various miracles of the demon refining pot, it seems reasonable for this kind of thing to happen. And for Xiao Ping, this is undoubtedly a good thing. If the spot really takes the animal in the demon refining pot as prey, then Xiao Ping will have to find another way to place it, and it will be a very troublesome matter.

After seeing the jaguar spots, Xiao Ping went to take care of the little macaws again. Perhaps because of the demon refining pot, the baby macaw grows very fast. They no longer need to eat parrot milk powder, but should eat a variety of nut foods. For this reason, Xiao Ping specially bought a lot of sunflower seeds, pine nuts and other nuts, and sprinkled them in the places where parrots often move. Let them feed on their own.

Parrots are already very affectionate birds, and even parrots that are raised in the outside world will stop on the shoulders and arms of their owners. And after living in the demon refining pot for a while, these parrots also became more aura. is very affectionate to Xiao Ping, the master.

Seeing Xiao Ping's figure from afar, several macaws cried and walked towards him - these parrots were still young, and their colorful feathers had not yet fully grown. I can't fly yet.

"Giggle...... Xiao Ping gathered the macaws together like a chicken, and let the birds gather around him. Then sit down on the grass and rest.

In the past few days, the parrots have become accustomed to Xiao Ping's approach, waiting for the master to sit down. With the help of a powerful beak, climb on top of him and play.

Xiao Ping gently stroked the parrot's newly grown colorful feathers and began to teach these birds who were good at learning to speak. It stands to reason that parrots don't learn to speak until they reach adulthood, but these little parrots are nourished by the rich aura in the demon refining pot and are much smarter than ordinary parrots. Xiao Ping taught him every few days, and the little parrot would be able to say some simple words.

After teaching for a while, Xiao Ping whistled and called the black devil and rode his beloved horse to the sea. After many evolutions, the area inside the demon refining pot is already very large, so every time he goes to the seaside, Xiao Ping will find the black devil to walk.

After coming to the beach, Xiao Ping took the rowing boat that he specially brought into the demon refining pot a while ago, and crossed the sea to collect the poison sac on the poison island. This time in the Amazon rainforest, thanks to the poison sacs, Xiao Ping was able to easily eliminate the poaching gang without being suspected. Of course, you need to prepare a few more for such a good thing, and it is good to be prepared when you need it.

To Xiao Ping's satisfaction, the speed at which the poisonous oyster grows poison sacs is not slow, and four more poisonous sacs have fully matured during this time. Xiao Ping plucked the ripe poison sac and carefully put it into the metal box before rowing back to the shore.

While towing the rowboat to the beach, a huge white sturgeon suddenly jumped out of the sea not far from him, and then fell heavily back into the water, causing a huge splash. This spectacular sight made Xiao Ping's heart move, and he immediately decided to check on the situation of these sturgeons.

When Xiao Ping bought sturgeon in Russia, some fishermen told Xiao Ping that sturgeon jumping out of the water often means that it is about to spawn. Under normal circumstances, it would take six months for these sturgeons to enter the next breeding season. However, anything magical can happen in the demon refining pot, and Xiao Ping didn't dare to be careless.

Xiao Ping descended into waist-deep water and concentrated on expanding his mind into the sea around him. With the evolution of the Demon Refining Pot, the scope of Xiao Ping's mind can be influenced more and more extensively. By now, he could clearly feel the situation within four or five hundred meters around him, and it was a little vague farther away, but the area with the greatest influence of his thoughts was close to a thousand meters.

Xiao Ping concentrated on feeling the situation around him, and then used his mind to let the sturgeon swim towards him. In the Demon Refining Pot, Xiao Ping was the master, and the sturgeon could not resist his orders at all. It didn't take long for the sturgeon within a radius of one kilometer to gather around Xiao Ping.

These sturgeons are generally relatively large, and now there are more than 20 of them gathered around Xiao Ping, forming a very spectacular scene. Xiao Ping's side was densely packed with sturgeon, and he could almost walk on the surface of the sea on the back of the fish.

Xiao Ping focused on holding a relatively large sturgeon, and then turned it over in the water, leaving the big white sturgeon lying on its back on the water. Even if he made such an action that was completely contrary to the nature of the fish, this sturgeon had no intention of resisting in the slightest, and was at the mercy of Xiao Ping.

Xiao Ping gently squeezed the sturgeon's abdomen, and soon saw that the eggs were squeezed out of the fish's cloaca holes. These translucent eggs are the size of soybeans and have a golden brown and amber sheen. Even a caviar layman like Xiao Ping can see that these are excellent fish eggs, and they are very close to fully matured Cheng Dù.

Xiao Ping inspected several sturgeon in a row, and found that almost every female sturgeon had eggs in their bodies, and the mature Cheng dù was about the same, and it was already time for the eggs to be retrieved.

"It looks like I'm going to be busy again, I'm really working hard. Xiao Ping relinquished control of the sturgeon and returned to the beach with a self-muttering voice. Although his words were a little complaining, he was actually quite happy in his heart. After all, caviar is also a source of income, and with caviar as a product, the three major delicacies recognized in the world - foie gras, caviar and truffle - are all available, and it also has a great positive impact on the company's image.

However, caviar is not just cut out of the sturgeon's belly, it has to be processed. And these sturgeons were all raised by Xiao Ping in the demon refining pot, so to make caviar, you can't fake the hands of others, but Xiao Ping has to operate it himself.

Over the next few days, Xiao Ping began to prepare for the making of zuò caviar. He first asked Pierre to find someone to design the outer packaging of the "Holy Pot" brand caviar, and he himself bought a batch of high-quality, beautiful and appropriately sized glass bottles to serve as containers for caviar.

Of course, caviar cannot be made with fish eggs and containers alone. Another important ingredient in caviar is fresh table salt. Although in the best caviar, the salt content is very small, generally not more than 5%. However, don't underestimate the 5% salt, which is also an important factor in determining the flavor and quality of caviar.

When Xiao Ping bought sturgeon in Russia, he had inquired about the caviar manufacturing process and knew that the salt used in the local caviar factory was also dried on the nearby coast. In other words, the best caviar is made from the sea where the sturgeon that lays its eggs live.

Since there is such a rule, Xiao Ping does not intend to break it. After all, this is a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years, and there is always some truth to it. And this kind of request is not a difficult thing for Xiao Ping, he has the complete way to extract the required salt from the sea in the demon refining pot.

Of course, now that the sturgeon eggs are about to mature, it will definitely be too late to dig salt ponds to dry salt. To this end, Xiao Ping took a quicker method, which was to use the oak branches that grew in the demon refining pot and boil the seawater dry to boil salt. The reason why the salt is boiled from the branches of the oak tree is entirely out of Xiao Ping's boutique strategy. Since the caviar is all made from the demon refining pot, the firewood used to boil the salt should also come from the demon refining pot.

After two busy days, Xiao Ping boiled a large jar of snow-white sea salt, and finally he was ready to officially make zuò caviar. (To be continued......)
