Chapter 18: The Bone Snail
He hurriedly bent down, picked up the stone, and smashed one of the bone snails directly.
Between life and death, the bone snail sprayed white mucus from near the mouth of the screw.
Whitish mucus that stinks instantly.
Lan Chen knew that this was self-preservation, and the bone snail was trying to scare away the predators with these stinky slimes.
Although it stinks, he still stares intently at the white slime, only to see that it gradually turns yellow, turns blue, and finally turns into purple slime.
In his original world, the industrial age was entirely capable of producing colorful dyes with 'chemistry'.
Can it be in ancient times? Without the help of industry, we can only rely on smart brains, industrious hands, and tens of thousands of practices.
And the 'bone snail' is the raw material that the ancients discovered, which can replace the 'comfrey', or even far out.
At present, it seems that no one in this world has discovered the value of 'bone snails'.
All you have to do is collect enough 'bone snails'.
Half a day.
He collected a few bags of marijuana.
Panting, he pushed open the door of 'Yan Fang', "Lao Zhang! I am back! ”
"Young Master! Coming back? What is it? Alas, there are big bags and big bags, why don't you call me to help. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, come on, I've found the raw materials that can replace 'comfrey'."
'What is this?' Lao Zhang opened the bag, frowned, and retched repeatedly. "It's ...... Bone snails? ”
"Young master, this bone snail can't be eaten, the shell is hard, the flesh is rancid, I don't know what this cheap thing can do."
"Dyeing."
"Dyeing? Dye it white, huh? ”
"Don't worry, look."
With that, Lan Chen directly picked up the brick, smashed a bone snail, threw the snail meat aside, and picked up the small gland.
Crushed directly, the stench hit again, and at the same time, the purple mucus instantly wrapped around Lan Chen's hand.
He raised his eyebrows, this 'yield', yes.
And Lao Zhang was even more dumbfounded, looking at the noble and somewhat mysterious 'purple', just like looking at the lover in his dreams!
"Less...... Young master, this is ......"
"The bone snail is also the secret of reviving Yan Fang!"
"Unheard of." Lao Zhang is still a little worried.
Lan Chen saw his confusion and immediately explained, "I also inquired with the fishermen. It is said that it is too unpalatable, but when you are hungry, you will also go to catch the bone snail and cook it directly. But it's all cooked inside, and no matter how much you destroy the shell, there will be no purple slime."
When he discovered the existence of the bone snail, he was puzzled by how no one had discovered such a 'treasure', and it was just a coincidence.
"One day. Can you make a finished product in a day? Lan Chen smiled.
"Yes!"
"Hahaha! Okay, let's revive Yanfang! ”
Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "Young master, do you want to fix it together?" ”
"Or else? Are you alone? I can't take a hand? ”
"This ...... Yes! Hahaha, if the lord ...... Don't say it, then it's hard young master! ”
"Let's break the shell first and remove the original fluid gland. Be careful, don't break it, or it's wasted. ”
Then ......" In order to avoid Lao Zhang's 'suspicion', Lan Chen deliberately said a little vaguely, "I have seen it in an ancient book before, it seems to say that add a little salt, soak it for a while, and then boil it at a low temperature, and it must be low-temperature." It's bad when it's cooked. ”
"During this period, you should also scrape off the foam on the top, and then put it away after cooling."
"It's useless to say, let's try it."
I stayed up all night, the next day.
Finally boiled out the finished product.
A small jar of 'purple dye'.
Lao Zhang was excited, "Purple, purple!" Hahaha! It's really purple! ”
Looking at the purple color in front of him, which symbolized mystery and nobility, he held Lan Chen's "Young Master" tremblingly, with tears in his eyes...... Young Master! Lao Zhang, I died without regrets! ”
"How?" Lan Chen smiled, "Death? It's a shame that you haven't shown this purple to the world. ”
"yes. This bone snail is dyed bright enough, and it is a few points better than comfrey! Alas, it's a pity that there is a shortage of manpower now, and there is no way to increase production. Otherwise, let's sell these to the garment shop first. ”
"Rest easy." Lan Chen smiled evilly, "We have to collect all the bone snails on the shore and make enough purple dye, but manpower is really a problem." As for afterthought, hey. Everything, rare is precious. ”
A business plan instantly broadened in Lan Chen's mind.
"That'...... Young master, I've also heard about the situation in the house. I also have a family heirloom jade pendant here, you can take it as one, it takes a lot of silver to revive Yanfang. ”
Lao Zhang handed over the jade pendant, his expression was extremely resolute, this completely let out the old bones.
Lan Chen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly, "This is not appropriate, Lao Zhang." Spread it out and talk about the system. There is still a little reward for the first office, I went to get the emergency, plus the dividends of the library's books, it is enough to last for a while. ”
"You have this heart, that's enough."
"By the way, what about our boss? I remember calling Lao Chen? ”
He ...... Alas, don't say it, don't say it! Seeing that Yan Fang was a little tired, he treacherously found his next home and took away a few good players, otherwise Yan Fang would not be unable to hold on! ”
"I'm sorry Lao Zhang, I mentioned that dog out of place." Lan Chen's face was grim.
In the pursuit of a better tomorrow, he will never stop him, but add fuel to the fire? Don't blame him for being ruthless!
"Lao Zhang, since this is the case, you are the master of Yanfang, and you have the final say here. As for that old Chen, three years in Hedong and three years in Hexi, he will understand what mistakes he made at the beginning. ”
"Young Master......"
Lao Zhang choked up, and his blurred old eyes seemed to see the 'Yan Fang' of Nirvana's rebirth in the future.
"Okay, you are resting, I'll go to the first place to get some silver."
After that, taking advantage of the momentum of all the pride in his heart to overcome fatigue, Lan Chen left Yanfang and walked towards the Xianfeng Office.
First of all, it is more lively than imagined.
The solemn pillars, the gold-inlaid eaves, and the two stone lions at the gate are more majestic.
Subconsciously, Lan Chen only felt very restrained, although he didn't feel sorry, but he was also uncomfortable.
In front of the counter, the waiter asked expressionlessly, "Name." ”
"Lan Chen."
"What did you come from? Wait a minute? It's you, little sir. The waiter who reacted stopped the brush in his hand and quipped, "Could it be that you did something bad and turned yourself in?" Haven't you just been out of prison for a few days? ”
The flat ground was like thunder, attracting a lot of discussion around the area.
On its debauchery, on its storytelling, on its resurrection from the dead.
In a hurry, Lan Chen didn't care, he asked expressionlessly, "Liang Ziwen, the leader of the A branch, didn't he explain?" ”
"Lord Liang?" The waiter was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly opened the book, and after comparing them one by one, he showed a surprised expression, "The little lord is here to get the bounty?" Two yellow-level bounty criminals, one Xuan-level bounty criminal! ”
"Or else?" Lan Chen subconsciously raised his voice, "I never thought that I would be ridiculed for the people, this is how you greet people first?" Oh, ridiculous! ”
The red color was wrapped around the waiter's face, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head.
Two figures greeted at the gate, shattering the strange atmosphere that was gradually spreading.
"Who made the time!"
