No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 851 Business
In fact, there was no need to look for Aragog, but Ou Mengmeng also knew that with Hagrid's intelligence, he would not cry until he saw the coffin, so after setting up the formation, he did not start it, but suggested that he and Hagrid go together to meet his old friend who had been with him for almost half a century.

Come to think of it, Ou Mengmeng is really impressed by Hagrid. He actually named the spider Aragog! But it is also true that this is actually Hagrid's earliest pet. And now it can grow to the size of an elephant and can speak human language. It is indeed worthy of a name.

Aragog is a male giant acromantula. A tourist gave the eggs of the giant acromantula to Hagrid, who was still studying at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Hagrid brought it into the castle and raised it in a storage room in the dungeon. In 1943, Aragog was framed as the Monster of the Chamber of Secrets and was eventually released by Hagrid. It escaped into the Forbidden Forest and has lived there ever since.

Later, Hagrid often went to the Forbidden Forest to see Aragog and found a wife for him, Mosag. Since then, a colony of giant eight-eyed spiders has appeared in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.

Hagrid brought Ou Mengmeng to Aragog, but Aragog was too old. His eight eyes were covered with a thick white barrier-like thing. Because of cataracts, he was blind and seemed to be close to death.

Although the old spider could not see, he could feel Hagrid and Ou Mengmeng and knew their purpose. He did not care and said to Hagrid, "My children obeyed my orders and did not hurt you. But fresh human flesh is delivered to my door, and I can't stop them from enjoying it. Goodbye, Hagrid's friend..."

It didn't want to hear what the little girl had to say. Arrogant wizards, who did they think they were? How dare they come to their territory and talk about demarcating boundaries? He could save Hagrid, but he wanted to let the little girl know that wizards didn't have the final say in this world.

So a group of spiders as big as cars drooled over Ou Mengmeng.

Hagrid turned around, and a few steps away, high above him, the spiders formed a solid, towering wall of iron, with their claws clacking and many pairs of eyes gleaming in those ugly black heads...

They didn't back down from Hagrid, but he was just a big fool.

Ou Mengmeng was actually quite scared, but she was not unprepared, so she asked Hagrid to pick her up. Hagrid thought she was scared, so he picked her up quickly while trying to say something to the old spider.

Ou Mengmeng tied herself and Hagrid up, then looked at the blind old spider, "Mr. Aragog, Hagrid is only polite to you and your wife. You are dying, so we will seal this col. Anyone who dares to come out will die."

They went there to inform, not to negotiate in a friendly way. They had to give Hagrid's "friends" some face. Of course, that was for Hagrid to hear. She went there in person to let Hagrid know that after old Aragog died, these big spiders would not even give Hagrid face, which would bring terrible disasters to Hogwarts.

This is indeed the case. In the subsequent war, these big spiders were driven by the Noseless Monster to fight against Dumbledore's Army. However, these spiders have low IQs and bite indiscriminately, which really makes the already scarce population of the magic world even worse.

And when Hagrid really saw the descendants of his friends and saw that they even looked down on him, he felt that "Little Petunia" was right and that something should be done about it.

Seeing Hagrid's regretful expression, Ou Mengmeng activated the portkey and let them return directly to the outside of the col. In fact, the formation had already been set up before, and after the notification, the formation eye was pressed, and the eight-eyed spider's site was fixed.

In fact, spiders originally eat all kinds of insects. The reason they can live here is because of the lush vegetation here. Otherwise, the old spider couple would not be able to create such a large colony.

However, Ou Mengmeng didn't mind them reproducing, because that way she would have a constant supply of spider venom. So she never scolded Hagrid for finding a wife for the old spider, because raising one really had no economic value. But, we have to control them. We can't let them grow wildly! This formation was obtained from many ancient family books that Ou Mengmeng and her grandfather had found. You have to know that these insects have no ethics. In the original book, when the old spider died, Hagrid took the risk to steal its body and held a funeral for it. Otherwise, the old spider would have to be eaten by his beloved descendants.

So in fact, what old Foster created was more like a breeding system. For example, the old spider Aragog died in a spider riot not long after the system was completed.

Ou Mengmeng didn't tell Hagrid that even if it didn't die in the riot, it would die in the system.

In addition to being a barrier, this system also has a detection system. For example, for a spider ancestor like Aragog, the system will lure it to the border and suffocate it to death, and then send it to the corpse storage area, where Hagrid will take it away.

The spiders' riot was strangled by the system. Although Hagrid was sad that his old friend died, he also knew that it was not Petunia's fault, so he held a funeral for his friend. Of course, Ou Mengmeng still took away the venom of old Aragog. It was a very large and high-quality venom, which she kept separately in a storage tank. This is not for sale!

Without old Aragog and the spiders, Hagrid would lose an emotional bond.

They are trapped in this small world, and they are not allowed to dig holes. This is also to control their numbers. The number of insects produced in this world every day is limited, so you can only raise so many spiders, and the extra ones have to be sent out.

Of course, the eight-eyed spiders' riot ended in a terrible way, but it made Ou Mengmeng and Old Foster a lot of money. They stored a lot of eight-eyed spider venom at that time. Many fierce big spiders died that time, and the quality was at its best.

Ou Mengmeng and Old Foster were busy for a long time, extracting, purifying, storing in special bottles, putting them in the warehouse of Gringotts, and releasing them little by little to ensure that the market would not fluctuate. The money was divided equally between Hagrid and the Foster family.

How to deal with the carcasses was also a problem. Who could eat such a big thing? But Ou Mengmeng knew that those with big claws were generally edible, even if only the legs were eaten. Each one looked like an elephant, and the legs were thicker than a child's body. Only the legs were left, washed, boiled, and then peeled open. Sure enough, they looked similar to king crabs. Throwing a piece to Yaya, Yaya was overjoyed.

However, Ou Mengmeng still couldn't muster up the courage to eat it, so she simply set up a pet food processing factory in Hogsmeade Village, got some old-fashioned food processing machines from the Muggle world, and then created a batch of jobs for the wizarding world.

But the wizarding world is just a food processing company. How many pets can you expect from a small society of 3,000 people? Besides, how much is the appropriate price for the meat of the eight-eyed spider? Let the vast Muggle world digest it!

But it is not possible to set up the factory in the Muggle world. What would people think of such a big spider leg? Therefore, it is safe to roughly process it in the wizarding world and then transfer it to the Muggle world for further processing.

It turns out that their high quality makes them the top of the pet canned food market, and no testing agency in any country has found any problems.

The spider's body parts will be crushed and used to feed the forbidden forest magical animals in Mirror Lake.

So, no matter how ashamed Hagrid was, he could only go around every day and bring back the spider corpses in the mechanism. Catching a few adult spiders every day was enough to satisfy all parties.

Today is another day of not making progress. I think I should go to work and write an article! By the way, I used a peach to attract mice in the office. I wonder if I can catch them tomorrow morning. My colleagues think I am wasteful. I actually asked the canteen to give me a crushed one, and I didn’t take my own. I hate waste the most!
