Astral Ants

Chapter 82
Long Bai returned to the ant nest, made inquiries and then went around.

This year juniper is doing very well. When the cypress fruit is ripe for picking, the fruit branches are pruned to avoid wasting nutrients of the plant.

The five cypress trees in the Longbai territory and the nine common bluegrass species in the Molan territory have all been harvested and dried for storage.

The junipers keep the territory in good order.

Juniper stands next to the God-given Seed of Pansy Orchid in the north of the mountain.

……

Long Bai confirmed that everything was fine during his departure, so he felt relieved, and carried the swamp water down the mountain overnight in a bamboo tube.

It was busy until the middle of the night.

After resting in the middle of the night, I began to pack up the goods the next morning, preparing to go north to Yinbai Mountain.

Inventory summary:

There are 240 ghost fans bestowed by gods, worth 6000 rough stones.

500 rice seeds, the seed bestowed by the gods, worth 1300 rough stones.

There are 200 Nansuan jujube cores, the seed bestowed by the gods, without discount, and the value is 2000 rough stones.

The cypress seeds and orchid seeds produced by common life species in Longbai and Molan's own territories can also be worth 1000 rough stones.

There are also all kinds of ordinary force food, including 3000 ordinary ghost fans, just collected from the ghost fan territory.

The 4300 rough stones were collected, and about 300 were distributed to Bailiu, and the remaining 4000 rough stones, calculated according to the minimum 20% profit of the traveling merchants, became goods worth 4800 rough stones at Longbai and Molan.

Adding up zero and zero, the total value is 15100 rough stones.

It may already be winter in the north.

Long Bai and Mo Lan didn't want to be frozen anymore, and the Specialized Blue Ant couldn't stand the cold either.

We left urgently in the middle of the morning.

……

The cold wind is howling, the vegetation is withered, and the northern plain is silent.

Silver Cypress Mountain.

Looking around, the strip-shaped persimmon orchards are like a golden-red belt wrapped around the mountainside.

Shanshi was busy picking persimmon fruit, carefully and concentrating on it, and only realized when the ruling throne was approaching.

"Mountain persimmon!"

Long Bai and Mo Lan greeted each other.

Shan Shi was stunned for a while, and then responded pleasantly: "Longbai Ant King! Mo Lan!"

Long Bai took the initiative to explain: "This year's business is too busy, and the ruling throne is not flying fast, so Mo Lan and I came a bit late."

Mo Lan asked: "Shanshi, the persimmons produced by your persimmon trees have already matured, right? Are they still there?"

Shan Shi said: "It has been ripe for about ten days, and I will keep it."

Mo Lan: "That's great! Is it in a cave? Take a look."

"it is good."

Mountain persimmon leads the way.

Living in a cave, up and down, full of persimmons, attracting a large number of birds, the persimmons waved their tentacles vigorously to drive them away, pushed aside the dead branches blocking the entrance of the cave, entered the cave, and soon left with a persimmon fruit carefully come out.

"Longbai, Molan, let it sit for too long, it's too soft..."

"It's okay! It just so happens that my specialized blue ants can't stand the cold wind outside, so arrange them to work in your cave, and we'll clean them up when we leave, is it okay?"

"certainly……"

Shanshi asked: "Longbai Ant King, how do you trade?"

Mo Lan landed in a circle, took the persimmon fruit and returned to the throne, and handed it to Long Bai for inspection.

Persimmon fruit is more resistant to storage.

Fortunately, the pulp has not yet lost its force.

Long Bai glanced mentally, and quoted: "Mountain persimmon fruit, 3 rough stones and 2 pieces, the flesh and persimmon seeds are mine. How about it?"

Shanshi: "I don't understand either... just listen to you..."

Long Bai asked: "How many?"

"547 mountain persimmons."

Shanshi turned around and went into the cave, and carefully took out a dried persimmon fruit.

Long Bai inspected and quoted: "The fruit is relatively small, 1 piece of rough stone."

Shanshi didn't say much, turned around and went into the cave...

……

Mountain persimmon only masters 4 kinds of persimmon trees, namely mountain persimmon, dry persimmon, wood persimmon, and big persimmon. The strengthening effects are all on the carapace, which is not good, but not bad.

Long cypresses are collected, and there are no pit bugs, and a reasonable price is given one by one.

The output of 9 persimmon tree life species, the final total price is 3700 rough stones.

Long Bai transferred 20 specialized blue ants to the cave and directed them to start working.

Mo Lan asked, "Mountain persimmon, where are your silver cypress seeds?"

Shanshi picked up the bulging spider silk bag and handed it to Mo Lan.

All kinds of dried fruits, including cypress seeds, are packed in a bag in a mess.

Longbai first picks up a cypress seed to check, eat, feel, comment:

"Shanshi, you are right, silver cypress seeds are the strengthening effect of body shape optimization! The quality is high!"

Shanshi asked: "Longbai Ant King, how do you buy it?"

Long Bai pondered for a while, gave a rather high price, and said: "The cypress seeds are small, 1 rough stones."

Mo Lan asked, "How much is the yield of silver cypress seeds?"

The mountain persimmon was at a loss, held back for a while, and replied: "A lot... other life seeds also produce a lot, and the spider silk bag can't fit, so I ate some, but the silver cypress seeds are reserved for you."

Eat some?Earn less!

Long Bai and Mo Lan felt distressed immediately.

Long Bai still had a headache, he and Mo Lan might have to sort this mess together, and then count the numbers.

I was busy from noon until late at night to settle the accounts.

"Shanshi, the total price of the original food you sell is 7100 rough stones."

Finally, Long Bai reported the ledger.

Calculated according to the 20% profit, you can sell it at 8520 rough stones later.

Mo Lan picked up a ghost fan and enthusiastically sold it: "This is a ghost fan produced by the seed bestowed by the gods, and the price of a single piece is 25 rough stones. Mountain persimmon, take a look."

Mo Lan took out another ordinary ghost fan, and said: "This is a ghost fan produced by ordinary ghost fan wood life species, and the price is 1 rough stone per piece. Shanshi, you can compare."

Mo Lan handed the two kinds of ghost fans to Shanshi, waited for a while, saw that Shanshi was stunned with her hair buried, picked up another rice seed, and said: "The rice seeds produced by the god-given seed of wild rice are sold for 5 pieces. The price is 13 rough stones, and only 500 are left."

Mo Lan took out another South Suan jujube seed and said, "This is the wild South Suan jujube produced by the god-given seed. It was sold at a loss, 10 rough stones per piece."

Inside the cave, there was a long silence.

Shanshi said: "Longbai Ant King, Mo Lan, I want all your rice seeds and southern jujubes! I also buy all the ordinary ghost fans! The ghost fan produced by the god-given seed... I want... I'll look at the others first."

Nansuan jujube sold again? !

Mo Lan and Long Bai secretly delighted.

Mo Lan first counted the goods for Shanshi.

Long Bai helped to settle the accounts and said: "200 Nansuanzi, 2000 rough stones; 3000 ordinary ghost fans, 3000 rough stones; 500 rice rice seeds, 1300 rough stones, the total is 6300 rough stones."

"Shanshi, you still have 800 rough stones at your disposal."

"Oh--"

Shanshi thought for a long time, and said: "Longbai Ant King, you don't need to introduce the price of these ordinary force foods, just help me choose a little for me, let's make up 800 rough stones."

It was the first time Long Bai met someone who didn't even ask the price when he bought something.

Since the other party is so upright, then you can't cheat it.

Long Bai reported his name and price, and picked out all kinds of original food, and collected 800 rough stones, and finally gave him 4 extra god-given ghost fans, so that he could have a taste.

……

The transaction is complete.

Rest overnight.

20 specialized chemical ants are busy refining persimmon fruit in the cave.

Shanshi is busy picking persimmons.

Long Cypress and Mo Lan went to the abandoned silver cypress tree nursery to collect a batch of seeds from the 23 surviving silver cypress trees.

I searched up and down the mountain again, but still couldn't find other silver cypress trees.

There are many large junipers.

Longbai plans to cultivate cypress trees on a large scale and collect a large number of seeds.

It's already cold in the north.

Two days later, the specialized chemical ants finished refining the persimmon fruit. Longbai and Molan bid farewell to the mountain persimmons and fled away from Yinbai Mountain.

　Thanks to book friends Bai Fei, 753684268, Yin Hong, Hei Yanmou, and Yun Yun for their rewards.
