Chapter 118: Gourmet Ants, Keep Improving

It took half a month to build the dam of the Blue Reservoir, raise it by 2 meters, and increase the water storage depth by 0.5 meters.

At about the same time, Long Bai and Mo Lan packed their bags and set off for Yinbai Mountain in the north to complete the transaction with the persimmons.

The persimmon also has a dark wound in the evolution and growth of the advanced stage, and the remaining white rice ant king honey worth 1500 rough stones is arranged for the mountain persimmon.

This year's Traveling Merchant Trade is over.

Return to Xianglan Mountain.

Long Bai began to cultivate giant blue soldiers and intelligent blue ants.

The two special ant eggs are placed in two separate nests, and two teams of worker ants are assigned to take care of them full-time.

This winter, the dragon cypress still stayed in Xianglan Mountain, and through the Throne Messenger function, it produced a sufficient number of 7 ant eggs in batches every four days. Enter the ant nest regularly every day, release pheromones, stimulate the differentiation of various ant eggs, and focus on strengthening the strength of the ant country.

This year, more than 40 varieties of berry ant honey were also collected, and more than 60 kinds of dried fruits were collected.

After years of experience in eating, Long Bai has found that the taste of ant honey is not always the better the taste.

Certain berries and dried fruits, such as durian, mango, etc., can affect the overall aroma and taste......

Some flavors and aromas will clash with each other, and it tastes good when eaten separately, but it is awkward or even unpalatable when combined.

Long Bai and Mo Lan turned into food insects, trying to fuse different kinds of ant honey every day and taste it.

There doesn't seem to be a pattern, at least not for Long Bai and Mo Lan.

It's all intuitive, and even mix and match it as you like.

Through countless tests and inspections, Longbai preliminarily set four flavor types for ant honey: fresh fruit fragrance, fresh fruit fragrance, dried fruit mellow fragrance, and mixed mellow fragrance.

And the different scents are marked with exclusive marks.

The fresh fruit fragrance is marked by a raspberry pattern.

The fresh fruit aroma is patterned with mango.

Dried fruits with green wirch.

As for the mellow aroma...... Draw a large circle with three small circles inside.

……

The essence of the blue ant's 'refining' ability is to remove all useless impurities, leaving only the ingredients that can be absorbed by the Zerg.

A large bag of spider silk for Force food, after refining, may not even fit a single metal filler.

After refining ordinary Force food, it is blended with ordinary ant honey with different flavors and flavors, and diluted to make "Force Ant Honey" with different flavors and flavors.

In the future, mass production can be made of wood to cut into the shape of oval leaves, polished smooth, perforated, and tied to spider silk strings, and carved with the icon corresponding to the flavor and fragrance.

What kind of fragrance is in each jar produced, what brand is hung, simple and clear, easy to distinguish.

The sign is divided into two sides, and the other side can also depict the type of enhancement of the Force ant honey in the tank.

There are too many types of Force enhancements to pass on memories.

The dragon cypress is summarized and simply divided into four conventional types: elemental, complex, sensory, and carapace.

Other types are not considered for the time being.

Among the element types, the water system is strengthened by drawing a few wavy lines as a mark; The soil system paints a mountain; Wood is painted with a tree; Fire is a flame symbol......

Crustaceans are strengthened, and a pair of sturdy elytra are drawn as a symbol.

Intensify the senses, draw a pair of dragonfly compound eyes as a symbol.

Comprehensively strengthen the body and draw a thick and powerful praying mantis hind leg as a symbol.

Then there's the pricing of goods.

In the early stage, there are only three grades: 1000 original stones/jar, 2000 original stones/jar, and ant queen honey made from God-given seeds.

At present, Longbai and Mo Lan have a total of 8 god-given seeds, such as Fruit Pandan, Zhanlan, South Root, North Root, South Sour Jujube, Scarlet Light Fruit, Ghost Fan Wood, and White Rice Fruit.

Among them, the 5 god-given seeds of Pandan Orchid, Zhanlan, Radix Chin, Southern Jujube, and Crimson Fruit all plan to sell the caravan.

Among them, there is no need to carry out redundant operations on pandan seeds and ramp seeds, and they are directly sold in the form of dried fruits.

Blue fruit, southern sour jujube, and scarlet fruit are fresh fruits, and some of them are pickled in honey to maintain the original fruit and try to achieve 'original taste'.

However, the processing method of honey pickling, the fruit takes up too much space, and a can can not hold too much, taking the blue fruit as an example, a can can only hold about 300 rough stones.

The space on the back armor of the flame spider is limited, and the goods that can be carried are limited, and when the number is small, it is okay, once the quantity is huge, the total price of the goods is tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and Bai Wei will definitely not be able to transport it.

Honey pickling is not only laborious to transport, but also troublesome to make, and the taste is not as good as ant honey.

Therefore, the dragon cypress is more inclined to make the god-given fruit into 'ant king honey'.

The pulp and core are refined, mixed into 'ant queen honey', and then an appropriate amount of ordinary ant honey with different flavors and flavors is added to taste, and the concentration is also diluted according to the needs.

Finally, it was packaged into a jar of blue ant king honey, southern jujube ant king honey, and scarlet ant king honey.

In terms of pricing, it can't be too high for the time being, divided into 1000 rough stones/pot and 2000 rough stones/can.

Each can is hung with a wooden card, and the price is clearly marked: 1000 rough stones are carved with a groove the size of a rice grain; The 2000 rough stone is carved with two grooves the size of a grain of rice.

Bai Wei's calculation ability is not good, so one can after another, the price of integers and integers, things are sold, and count how many meters there are on the wooden card, which is how many 'thousand' rough stones.

The easiest way to count, you can't go wrong, right?

Bai Wei is really not a smart partner.

It took a month to ponder these issues and come up with a feasible plan.

Midwinter.

Sunny morning.

Shanbei Restaurant.

With hundreds of blueants in particular, large, medium and small, Longbai has exerted its brain memory ability to the extreme, and has tried the ant honey combination plan again and again.

"Long Bai, I have lost my sense of smell and taste......"

Mo Lan, who was in charge of the tasting work, had lost his initial interest due to too many attempts, and the whole worm was numb in the face of thousands of combinations.

"I'll go down the mountain and take a look at ......"

Mo Lan said a word, and left the restaurant as if fleeing, first going to the territory of the Fruit Pandan God-given Seed to inspect it, which was not yet ripe.

It flapped its wings and rose into the air, and landed in a circle towards the Beiqi Reservoir.

"Isn't your fruit ripe yet?"

"I don't know...... It's almost ......"

"Then hurry up."

"I know."

"Do you need top dressing?"

"No, you don't. Mo Lan, leave me alone. Let's get busy. ”

The fruit has not matured for a long time, and he is chased and asked by Mo Lan every day, and Beiqi is a little unbearable.

"I'm not busy."

Mo Lan flew at a low altitude, circled around the seed of the god of Beiqi twice, checked it, confirmed that it was correct, flew away slowly, circled around Xianglan Mountain twice, stood on the top of the mountain to watch the scenery for a while, breathed fresh air, and flew two more times.

Near noon, I came to Shanbei Reservoir again.

"Root, your fruit ......"

"It's cooked. Cooked. Cooked right away. ”

"Coming to maturity?"

"Yes. Cooked. Mo Lan, take the rough stones! ”

"Yay!"

Mo Lan cheered, flapped his wings into the air, and rushed towards the mountain.

"......" Beiqi wants to cry without tears.

Didn't you say that the twins were not spoken? Why was it that I was unlucky to have such a praying mantis?

……

Long Bai intends to make ant honey into a luxury high-end force food, and strives for the taste of ant honey.

There are certain differences between insects in their preferences for aroma and taste.

There is a difference between the dragon cypress and the meran.

There is a difference between juniper and juniper.

What the dragon cypress wants to do is to mix and match the ant honey that can satisfy the taste preferences of most insects as much as possible.

Juniper led the soldier ants and stationed them under the peaks on the west side of the mountain range, and stationed them for a long time.

The giant cypress guards the Beiqi Reservoir.

The high-level worker ants are not so afraid of cold, and they are still active in winter, and the juniper is taken to dig the Shanxi reservoir.

Mo Lan, the only one who didn't have a task with him, also ran away.

The dragon cypress brought out the young cypress and cedar that were still in the larval stage and used them to try the taste of ant honey.

Through pheromones, larvae are able to release simple signals: hungry, full, delicious, unpalatable, like, hate

These two guys are natural foodies, able to distinguish between good and bad, and have their own likes and dislikes.

While he was busy, Mo Lan suddenly pounced in.

"Dragon Cypress!"

"Good news!"

"The fruit of the northern root is finally ripe!"

"Quick! Rough stones! Rough stones! ”

Is it finally in the final stages of maturity?

Long Bai calmly waved his tentacles, signaled the worker ants to move the cypress and cedar back to the ant nest, and issued an order to arrange for the worker ants to send 400 rough stones.

Take 20 large worker ants, manipulate the throne, and float towards the reservoir below the mountain.

Thank you for the reward of Qianxing Yaoyao, Piao, and Baifei.
