Chapter 20: Admiralty Grass
The money just earned from the land is invested in the construction of new houses.
In such a rural field, all the costs can be minimized, but in the middle, labor cannot be saved; The material cost is because of the large bluestone blocks and hard pine wood quarried in the mountains, which is not expensive in such a mountainous area; There is also a need to invest in the cost of transportation, one is the cost of transportation from the outside to the mountain, this is the small head, and the other is the cost of manual transportation from the bottom of the mountain to the cave, which is the big head.
Unless Zhou Yiken blows up the cave connecting the Tianshan realm and the outside world, this cost will definitely not be saved.
The money to buy cattle, sheep and rabbits, Zhou Yi can only take out the savings from his previous work.
He bought more than 300 goats, 18 cows and dozens of rabbits to raise in the orchard.
As for the sheep barn, the cow barn, and the rabbit barn, he was not going to do it.
One is that there is not enough money, and the other is that I don't want to get myself into a busy predicament again.
As for the feed, let them find their own food, anyway, he "invited" these things, not caring about the economic benefits they generate, but as half a "weeder", but also add a little vitality to this fruit forest.
I believe that with the diluted blue spring water supplied from time to time in the ditch, there should be no problem for these guys to grow up healthily.
After the sting, the swarm of insects revived.
The Admiralty Grass also released that sweet and fragrant breath, attracting the attention of the hungry insects that Fang Su had awakened.
Soon, one after another, insects continued to pour into the barium-shaped insect bag.
It didn't take long for the sporadic insects to turn into swarms of insects, and finally into patches of insect clouds that covered the sky and the earth with almost overwhelming momentum.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi could only continue to increase the density of Admiralty grass.
On the border of the orchard, almost every two meters, there is a long, sturdy Admiralty grass.
Even so, the surging influx of insects, flying from the sky to crawling on the ground, except for a few that entered the stomachs of chickens, ducks and geese, became the food of Admiralty.
The insects, lured by the Admiralty, entered his food bag, and soon the acid in it was dissolved into drops of nutrient solution rich in protein and other trace elements.
Some of these things that release the smell of honey, which are even sweeter than honey, are called plant honey, and some of them are absorbed by the admiralty grass itself, which strengthens itself, and combines with the number of external insects to develop more admiralty to prey on insects.
The other part of the honey is left in the Admiralty by the Admiralty grass, which exerts a richer sweet flavor and attracts more insects to it.
There are too many insects, and the digestion and transformation function of the Admiralty grass is really strong, but he can't absorb too much honey, and soon, the plant nectar fills the entire pouch and overflows the Admiralty pouch.
At this time, she can no longer hunt.
Countless flying insects and reptiles crawled to the edge of the Admiralty's sac, constantly licking and eating the honey, perhaps waiting for the honey to be licked and eaten again to the Admiralty cordon, when most of it was digested by the Admiralty, the original food source would become a hell of insects.
Insects aren't the only ones who yearn for this sweetness.
A large horned head, much larger than the insects, appeared in front of a honey-filled golden bell sac.
The two huge bright eyes curiously studied the blood-colored little bells crawling with strange insects in front of them, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of honey, stretched out their huge tongues, and licked them gently, not only sweeping away the insects on the pouch, but also eating most of the honey in the Admiralty pouch.
The rest of the honey, no matter how much he stuck out his tongue, could no longer lick half of it.
Soon, the goat abandoned the small pouch and set its sights on another pouch filled with honey.
Of course, goats don't always eat honey so smoothly.
A yellow and black poisonous wasp was enjoying his delicious taste when a large, soft pink tongue reached out and swept him aside.
This time, it annoyed this vicious guy.
He used the poisonous needle on his ass and stabbed the culprit hard.
The goat shuddered, and soon a red envelope grew on his head, which hurt him so much that he hit the tree, and buried his painful head in the ditch diluted with the blue spring water, which made him feel more comfortable.
After a long time, the goat's head felt less painful.
He ate a few mouthfuls of grass, enjoyed the sweetness of the grass, and drank a few sips of spring water, even if he was slapped by the fish in the water, he didn't care.
When the grass fills his stomach and the power of hunger is no longer so strong, he has higher requirements for food.
The aroma of his nose stimulated him again, but it seduced him, provoked him, teased him, teased the taste buds on his tongue, but the faint pain in his head gave him another warning.
When the pain gradually receded, and the reason brought by the pain could not resist the temptation of honey, he once again aimed his eyes at the blood-red food sac that grew on the side of the bright and turquoise branches and leaves, like a glossy food sac born from hell......
……
Que Sheng is an old bachelor who took Zhou Yi's sister-in-law as his wife.
He was also a plasterer, working with Zhou Dahu.
This time, Zhou Yi repaired the new house, and he also followed.
He also watched the changes of Zhou Yi's 100 acres of fruit forest day by day, and looked at all kinds of animals and plants in it, whether real or strange.
He is not lacking in curiosity, and sometimes he uses his identity as an uncle to ask Zhou Yi questions.
He naturally knew the Admiralty grass planted by Zhou Yi, and he knew from Zhou Yi's mouth that it was a cordyceps that originally lived in the tropical rainforest.
When he started, he was very curious about this insect-eating plant. When I am usually relaxing, I look for a Cordyceps trap plant and look at it.
But the weather is still cold, there are not many insects, and the faint honey fragrance released by the cold weather can't stimulate his insensitive sense of smell, just watching the occasional small insect fly into the blood-colored small bell-like plant sac, and then be melted and digested step by step, I think it's very interesting.
In a subtropical mountainous area like Qingshan Town, it is almost impossible to find such insectivorous and meat-eating plants—which is a very curious thing—and if you don't see it with your own eyes, it is difficult for these middle-aged and elderly people who uphold the tradition in this closed place to imagine how plants prey on animals; In fact, even if you have seen a lot of young people who are fresh from the outside world, they may not have seen such a thing.
As the weather gradually warms up, the insects gradually increase, and the abundance of honey in the full sacs, under the warm air, the aroma spreads very quickly, becoming strong and charming.
Que Sheng was gradually attracted by this aroma.
Especially when you are close to the meal, when you have worked for most of the day and are already hungry, this fragrance is particularly attractive.
He watched as the overflowing honey was licked and eaten by worms, but it did not kill him; Watching the goats lick and suck the leaked honey clean, the little gluttonous worms in the stomach juice couldn't help but move.
He finally stretched out his sinful fingers, carefully drove away the worms from the honey, dipped a little, and tasted it in his mouth.
Que Sheng looked around cautiously to see if anyone was paying attention to him—after all, as an adult, he always had the feeling that he was stealing food like a child.
The sweetness of honey is not the sweetness of honey.
It carries a unique fragrance of plants, with a kind of sweetness, lush, thick and light, light but thick, the initial thick, the entrance and light, light to the throat and stomach, and then thickened again, especially in this thick brewing a trace of mint-like coolness, in this gradually hot summer, it is really an extremely unique taste of the tip of the tongue.
He ran to an old room that was used as a temporary workshop and took a small bowl, poured out all the honey in the golden bell as far as his eye could see, and filled it with a small bowl, and the clear and turquoise was glowing with golden and bright yellow honey on the edges, like a piece of blue amber and a soft jade, which shook gently in the bowl, and rippled faintly with his steps.
"What smells so good?" A worker watched Que Sheng come in with a small bowl, the fragrance of honey overflowing, and couldn't help but say.
Zhou Dahu smelled the rich honey fragrance with a faint plant fragrance, and couldn't help but wonder: "It's not the thing in the Cordyceps catcher, right?" Do you really want to eat it? ”
"So many sheep have eaten it, and it is not poisonous, so I tried it, don't say it, it tastes really good!"
Everyone looked at the small bowl of cool and cold honey, endured the temptation of the honey fragrance, and looked far less disgusting than the wanton insects on the Admiralty grass, and couldn't help but be moved.
They're not as elaborate as the average city dweller.
People who have worked for most of the day and are already hungry, as long as they are not poisonous and can still be eaten, do not need to think about that much.
Finally someone stretched out their hands, and more and more people stretched out their fingers and dipped them in the small bowl of honey, enjoying the taste with a face.
Zhou Dahu watched everyone eat with relish, and couldn't help but be curious, the fragrance had already made him saliva.
He snatched the small bowl, dipped his fingers in the honey, and began to taste the novelty......
