Chapter 5 Grass Seed Lottery

The grass seed lottery is undoubtedly a smooth and successful one, and now it is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the ants are hoarding a lot of grass seeds. Different from the way the anthill records work is distributed according to demand, these expelled ants, whoever collects the food, belongs to whom, and it is because of this that the grass seed lottery can be carried out here.

In just half an hour, by selling grass seed lottery tickets, the prize pool accumulated nearly 200 grass seeds.

Rattan pepper lay in his nest and began to fantasize about his life after winning the first prize.

"Sichuan pepper, you said that if I win the lottery, how should I spend it, it is a hundred grass seeds, if I win the grass seed lottery, I will give you twenty first!" rattan pepper said.

"Wake up, my rattan pepper brother! Golden urine and colorless urine, machine selection or hand selection?"

"What are you going to do?" asked Pepper.

"Of course it's to wake you up with urine!" said Pepper.

Xiao Ran looked at the frolicking pepper vine pepper brothers, rattan pepper's body looks very strong, and his size is bigger than ordinary ants, why was he also expelled from the anthill?

After dusk, after Xiao Ran confirmed that the leg essence was no longer infested, he summoned the ants in the anti-sperm hole and pushed the can under the magnifying glass together.

With the game of grass seed lottery, all the ants are looking forward to the lottery results and are actively participating in this popcorn action.

More than 70 ants carried a can, which was easier than Xiao Ran expected, after all, each time the ants could carry items several times their own weight. The ants pushed the can in the direction of the magnifying glass, and in a short time they were under the magnifying glass.

The only difficulty was to turn the can upside down, which was indeed a challenge for Xiao Ran after turning into an ant.

Xiao Ran thought of a way, gathered a dozen ants, moved a small stick diagonally on the wall, and then pushed the bottom of the can along the stick upward, and under the combined force of all the ants, the can finally stood upside down.

Xiao Ran looked at the upside-down can, which had faded very badly after being weathered.

Corn kernels are naturally moved back to the anti-sperm hole first, because the leg sperm also eats corn kernels.

The full moon of sixteen seemed to be rounder than the fifteenth, but he had no intention of appreciating it. Back in the anti-sperm cave, Xiao Ran was exhausted, closed his eyes, and stopped thinking about those things that would only happen tomorrow.

The next day, at noon, Xiao Ran shouted, and all the ants went out together, carrying seven corn kernels, and walked in the direction of the magnifying glass.

In front of the magnifying glass, the ants were still a little afraid of the demon's eye during the day, because it could emit lasers and scorch everything.

After Xiao Ran personally demonstrated that the so-called demon eye would not harm the ants, the ants relaxed a little and threw the corn kernels one by one from the magnifying glass onto the upside-down can.

Seven corn kernels lie quietly in the groove on the bottom of the can, and all that's left is to wait for the angle of the sun.

The ants only knew the difference between popcorn and corn kernels from Xiao Ran's description, but they had never seen or believed in the existence of popcorn, so most of the ants bought all of them - not a single popcorn, and most of them firmly believed that the first prize must be themselves.

"The Demon Eye's lasers are coming!" shouted Pepper first.

I saw that the spotlight under the magnifying glass slowly moved into the bottom of the can, and soon, the corn kernels changed during the baking, and a smell of corn came to the nose.

Xiao Ran only felt that his sense of smell after becoming an ant was many times stronger than that of humans, and he could easily distinguish various smells in the air.

Presumably a dog's sense of smell is like this, he thought to himself.

Without butter, it's always a pity. If there is butter, not only is it easier to make popcorn, but the mellow and heart-warming milk flavor is the core of popcorn!

But as an ant, butter is imaginable but unobtainable. Xiao Ran put more thought on the corn kernels in front of him, his requirements are not high, only one can be successfully exploded, that is success!

Five minutes passed, and there was no movement from the corn kernels.

Ten minutes passed, and there was still no movement from the corn kernels.

Fifteen minutes passed......

Twenty minutes passed......

"Is it going to work?" asked Peppercorn.

"yes, okay?" said Tengjiao.

"yes, if it doesn't work, let's claim it first, I knew it wouldn't work, so I didn't buy a single popcorn, so, hehe, I won a hundred grass seeds!" Komori jumped happily.

"yes, yes, let's claim the prize! I didn't buy a single popcorn!"

"Me too, let's open the lottery, I also won a hundred grass seeds!"

The ants chimed in.

"You have a hundred, I have a hundred, he has a hundred, how can Xiao Ran have so many grass seeds to pay back!" said an ant.

"Uh...... It seems to be the amount, so let's owe it first, I can't pay it off this year and next year, I can't pay it off next year and the year after tomorrow, anyway, I can live for more than ten years, and I can pay it off in my lifetime, just do it!"

"Woo~woo~" An ant cried and released a slightly sour taste.

All the ants looked at the ant in unison.

"So what should I do? I can buy all of them to turn into popcorn!"

"Don't cry, brother, didn't you buy everything from your brother, after my brother won the first prize, don't you have your points!"

Twenty-five minutes passed......

The corn kernels still showed no signs of turning into popcorn, although the smell of corn was stronger in the air.

"Go back, go back, just go back and wait for the big prize. ”

Some of the ants began to walk towards the sperm prevention hole.

"Yes, if you don't go back, you won't be able to run away when the leg spirit comes!"

The rattan pepper also began to be unbearable, and he had to go back to the anti-sperm cave. Only Xiaoshan has been silently accompanying Xiaoran, which strengthens his determination to send Xiaoshan back to the anthill.

"Let's go, Brother Pepper. Rattan pepper said.

"Wait a little longer......"

Bang!

Before the pepper could finish speaking, there was a loud "bang", which startled all the ants.

"The leg spirit is coming, run!"

The ants began to panic and ran wildly towards the sperm cave.

Just as the ants panicked, a popcorn popped off the can and landed in the panicked ant colony.

Yes...... It worked...... Xiao Ran was excited and rejoiced, and finally succeeded!

Then, there were several booms, and five popcorns burst in quick succession. Xiao Ran listened to the dull sound, excited like a child.

This sound is more enjoyable than looking forward to setting off firecrackers during the New Year when I was a child.

The seventh corn kernel was a little burnt, and it never burst, but it succeeded in six pieces, which was very satisfying for Xiao Ran.
