Chapter 101: Kerosene Coins
The cypress tree is an evergreen cypress plant in the southwest of the year.
The leaves of the cypress tree are as thin as those of the pine tree, like needles. By collecting the leaves of this cypress tree and infusing it with a special scent, you can make kerosene coins that other zergs can't imitate.
Xiao Ran led the ants to search around the old mansion and found three plants that were more satisfactory.
Peppermint, herbs, houttuynia cordata.
All three plants have a special scent, and although they have withered during the season, their smell has not changed at all.
Peppermint corresponds to one yuan, Huoxiang corresponds to five yuan, and Houttuynia cordata corresponds to ten yuan.
The price of kerosene measured out of a standard straw barrel is 6 yuan. Originally, Xiao Ran thought that a barrel of kerosene was 6 yuan 7, but the kerosene coin did not have the unit of Mao, so it could only be 6 yuan.
According to the current rule of exchanging one bucket of sugar for two barrels of honey, the price of honey is one yuan, and the price of sugar is two yuan.
Rumble......
The flame of the enamel stove burned brightly.
Xiao Ran first made a kerosene coin equivalent to a bottle of kerosene. This batch of banknotes made from cypress leaves, mint, herbs, and houttuynia cordata is boiled and dried on toon leaves.
Each banknote is boiled separately so that they don't skewer the flavor.
At the moment, they are just scented cypress branches. Soon, they were living kerosene coins.
Xiao Ran realized the benefit of the Zerg, that is, the anti-counterfeiting of banknotes is too simple. This kind of simple boiling cannot be imitated by other races.
Then, it's time to monetize them.

Buzzing~
"Eagle One requested landing. Beep. ”
"Eagle 2 requested landing. Beep. ”
......
The Flying Eagle Squad came to the Sea Buckthorn Wasteland again, and this time, they brought twelve barrels of honey. According to the previous deal, the ant people only need to hand over 6 buckets of sand sugar to them, and this transaction is considered complete.
This time, however.
Xiao Ran first asked the ants to excuse themselves and said that the sugar was not boiled. He also told the Flying Eagle Squad about the kerosene coins and their denominations. 6 barrels of sugar, just equivalent to 12 yuan.
So Porco Rosso will give one piece of 10 pieces, and two pieces of 1 piece will go to the captain of the Flying Eagle Squad.
"Will this work?" said Eagle One, incredulating.
"The captain can rest assured that he only needs to take these kerosene coins to exchange for 6 barrels of sugar. Porco Rosso replied in the affirmative.

The Eagles leave the Sea Buckthorn Wasteland with the kerosene coins.
Two days later, they came as promised, and exchanged kerosene coins for 6 barrels of sugar.
Xiao Ran instructed Porco Rosso to do this a few times, and the bee people quickly adapted to the use of kerosene coins. After that, how there was no goods, they very happily put away the kerosene coins.
Xiao Ran believes that if he makes some large kerosene coins now, he can use the cypress branches made of houttuynia to replace all the honey in the hive cluster.
It's just that if this is done, then the system of action of kerosene coins will completely collapse. That clearly goes against the original purpose of inventing kerosene coins.
For the Shi brothers, this kerosene coin is quite useful.
In the past, whenever the Shi brothers worked hard, Xiao Ran would fulfill the delicious food they promised.
And now, after the Shi brothers paid the corresponding labor, they directly received kerosene coins. After that, they can exchange these kerosene coins for sugar, honey, and even raspberry jam.
Even if all these edible things are quickly exhausted, the kerosene coins can eventually be exchanged for the same amount of kerosene.
Kerosene is the backing of kerosene coins, so that it can always be exchanged for something of equal value.
The system of kerosene coins was quickly established.
It's not just the beekeepers and the Shi brothers who appreciate this novelty. After hearing about the termite colony in Storm Village, I also felt that this was an inconceivable method.
Soon, 100 sweaters custom-made by the beekeepers were knitted.
This sweater is unique to the ant people, so Xiao Ran priced it at 20 yuan a piece. 100 sweaters, a total of 2,000 pieces, this is a huge number for both beekeepers and ant people.
At current prices, 2,000 yuan can buy 2,000 barrels of honey.
Xiao Ran looked at the bucket made of straw stalks, if you eat honey every day, these 2,000 barrels of honey can be enough to eat yourself for two years.
It turns out that handmade sweaters, so profitable......
But the hive cluster doesn't have the 2,000 yuan, and it is impossible to take out 2,000 barrels of honey at once. So, Xiao Ran handed the sweater to the Flying Eagle Squad, and the Flying Eagle Squad wrote an IOU of 2,000 yuan.
This long IOU leaves a unique atmosphere of queen bee.
This is a bond......
Xiao Ran thought to himself.
Buzzing~
Eagle One, wearing a sweater, spun happily in the sea buckthorn heath. He said excitedly.
"It's so warm! There's never been a winter that makes me so warm. ”
Xiao Ran looked at the sweaters worn by the Flying Eagle Squad, which were specially customized. In order to make the sweater more suitable for the beekeepers, Xiao Ran specially designed the sweater to be the same color as the beekeepers.
The yellow and black color is like a speed bump.
......
The sorcerer began the sacrifice, and he was waiting for the day when hibernation would come.
Under the pressure of his wings and sweater, he walked with a little staggering, really like an old man, and no longer the warrior who "let the old man come first".
But the weather is getting colder day by day, and the divination and indication is the day of hibernation.
The wizard didn't understand why this year was so special. In fact, he didn't bother to think about it, there was a supply of honey and sugar every day, he only felt that even a god couldn't compare to this kind of day.
When the wizard told him that it was not suitable to hibernate, Xiao Ran always wondered if the wizard's magic stick was reliable.
Taking advantage of this time gap, Xiao Ran made purple sweet potato taro balls again.
Unlike last time, this time the purple potato taro balls are embellished with honey.
Yes!
The soft and glutinous sweetness in the entrance makes the purple sweet potato balls instantly have a soul.
"Prime Minister, Boss!"
Just when Xiao Ran was enjoying this new flavor of purple potato taro balls, Jiulixiang suddenly came to report.
"How?"
"On the edge of the Sea Buckthorn Wasteland, the enemy has been discovered!" replied Jiulixiang.
Enemy...... In such a cold weather, what kind of hostility can there be? Xiao Ran didn't know why, and followed Jiulixiang to the location of the incident.
This is......
Haw~
Haw~
Xiao Ran saw a familiar species.
Isn't this a cricket!
This cricket is bright in color and has a strong body, which is a rare treasure among crickets.
Xiao Ran tried to say hello in whisker, but the cricket didn't answer. So, he wanted to step forward and use his tentacles against the crickets and communicate in contact language.
But he was pulled by Jiulixiang.
"Prime Minister, these crickets don't know the language of the Zerg, they are the same as bamboo shoots, not intelligent insects. Jiuli Xiang said.
Not a sapient bug!
This......
Is this Zerg also ranked......
So why can you communicate with the cicada that your sister has turned into......
Jiulixiang seemed to see Xiao Ran's doubts, and explained: "Among the zerg, those who can communicate with our ant clan are called intelligent insects, and other non-intelligent insects can't communicate." Most of these non-sapient insects are the objects of our hunting. ”
"Oh?"
Xiao Ran and Jiuli Xiang are both worker ants, and Jiuli Xiang doesn't know why, so she naturally explains the basic common sense of these ant tribes to Xiao Ran. It seems that Jiulixiang remembered that the burning wings before the autumn seemed to be a little stupid, and after the autumn, it seemed that he suddenly opened his mind, and completely became another kind of ant.
"According to the experience of the ant clan for many years, it is known that the intelligent insects that can communicate include golden wings, red spades, jade waists, mantis tribes, etc. The Red Spade Clan is not the only one of the Palazzo Warriors, just like the Goldwing Clan has bees and bumblebees. The Ant Clan once fought against a very fierce Red Shovel Clan. Jiulixiang explained. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Ant Clan Gourmet Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
