Let you refine Gu and use cockroaches for environmental management?

Chapter 193: Unique

Soon, Ye Tian discussed the general plan with the construction leader.

Ye Tian wandered to the garbage dump.

After standing for a while, no mechanic came to report the situation to him, and he immediately felt relieved.

It seemed that the night vision and the rain did not allow them to feel the tunnel's expansion.

In this case, when you are in good spirits at night, you can let more ants move the house.

Thinking about it, Ye Tian returned to the ant nest behind the wall.

The original firewood shed is now beyond recognition.

It became a white fortress.

Fortunately, the location here is relatively hidden, and the old man almost never comes here, so he didn't notice anything unusual.

However, as the ant colony expanded, Ye Tian planned to move them directly to the garbage treatment plant.

After all, a special space has been set aside for them to survive.

I haven't moved it yet, just for the convenience of feeding myself.

After all, the queen ant herself has no ability to move.

It is impossible for me to go to the breeding farm to feed it.

Upon discovering Ye Tian's arrival, the gold-level queen ant suddenly felt a sense of joy.

Because every time Ye Tian comes, it means that he can take supplements again.

One person gave a drop of blood.

Ye Tian was not in a hurry to leave this time.

Instead, he carefully looked at their current house.

He reached out and pressed on the white clay palace.

After giving full play to the moving ability of ants yesterday, he found that his development of this group seemed to be too basic.

If all factories will be built underground in the future, can the construction ability of ants be used as well?

With finger pressure, the termite nest remained motionless.

Ye Tian increased his strength again.

With his strength, he actually used almost all his strength without breaking it.

Ye Tian was slightly startled.

This hardness is probably comparable to that of a cement wall.

An ordinary ant nest is definitely not as hard as this.

Look inside again.

The palace has been completely transformed into a maze.

It looks neat and orderly, and unusually quiet.

All that could be seen was a small group of worker ants moving in and out, and from time to time a small group of white fungi would be extended to the mouths of the queen ants.

The queen ant doesn't even need to move her hands, she just opens her mouth to eat.

After a meal, the bloated abdomen began to squirm in circles. Needless to say, it was laying eggs.

Ye Tian lowered his head and looked at the location where the eggs were laid, and found that in just a short time, the eggs had piled up into a hill.

This number is much greater than before.

Instead of eating the cockroach meat, eat this white fungus. It seems that the food produced by the termites themselves is a great supplement for the queen.

I just don’t know if this white fungus is of any benefit to me.

Blinking.

Ye Tian followed the movement of the worker ants feeding.

It was found that these worker ants would return to the lowest level of the palace every time after feeding.

There should be a fungus chamber where fungi are cultivated.

While Ye Tian was observing, he could occasionally see some ants coming back from the surrounding ground, biting leaves or something.

Moreover, the land around the palace is under the spread of ant territory.

There have also been some changes.

From time to time, white threads like spider webs can be seen in the soil.

Huh, what is that?

As Ye Tian glanced around, there seemed to be small white-brown balls in the soil with white threads, a bit like the ones that the worker ants fed to the queen just now.

But these balls are bigger.

Out of curiosity, Ye Tian took a small stick and pulled the soil next to the ball.

Then he was slightly stunned.

I suddenly realized that this was not a ball, it was just an umbrella hat.

Because after the soil was pulled away, only the lower part of the body was exposed.

And this thing, after Ye Tian lost his mind for a moment, he immediately recognized it.

As a child who came out of the mountains of Miao territory.

It can be said that he is very familiar with the stuff.

When he was a child, his family was poor. Every time it rained in the summer, he often followed his grandmother into the mountains to collect food.

It can be said that this was the main source of livelihood at that time.

I didn't recognize it just now, mainly because I was misled.

At the same time, I never thought that chicken fir trees could actually grow in my own yard.

You must know that the growth conditions of chicken fir are quite harsh. Nor will it appear randomly.

Generally, people who are looking for fungi will remember the location where they grow after finding a place.

Because next year, the chicken fir will grow again in the same position.

And the main conditions for its growth.

It's...a termite nest!

Thinking of this, Ye Tian's face suddenly looked strange.

Did he accidentally activate the hidden food again?

You must know that Jiconong is a fungus that has not been cultivated artificially until now.

Because in order to cultivate, it must be related to the termite nest.

And now, if nothing else, I command the termites, that is, driving them like an arm. And compared to wild termite nests.

The ones I have here are at the level of Gu insects, which is much stronger than ordinary termites.

Under such conditions, can I realize artificial planting?

The more he thought about it, the more excited Ye Tian became.

Because of their childhood contact, he has a soft spot for Jicong.

But we were too poor at that time, so my grandma would often collect the food and sell it for money.

Only some bits and pieces were dug out and eaten by myself.

Even so, he still felt that chicken fir was definitely the most delicious among fungi.

Whether it's making soup or making chicken fir oil, he can never forget it.

Come with a surprise.

Ye Tian looked around.

Sure enough, we found more little heads of Jiconong that were about to emerge.

Cool!

With a grin, Ye Tian turned around and found a small shovel to dig.

Chicken conong has the strongest flavor before the umbrella cover is opened.

Simply put, the tenderer the better.

So now is the time to start digging.

With many years of mining experience.

Ye Tian picked up the chicken firs on the ground one by one.

And this time, it was also the most enjoyable time for him.

In the past, even if grandma knew the location of some chicken nests, the natural termite nests were not big enough.

A maximum of ten kilograms can be collected from one location, which is considered a lot.

And here, just the termite nests on the surface are the size of a woodshed.

Not to mention the underground areas that Ye Tian couldn't see, and he didn't know to what extent they were exploited by the termites.

So Ye Tian was just busy for about half an hour.

Just filled a big box.

Probably about fifty pounds.

And these are all top-quality products in the freshest and most tender state with the mushroom caps not opened.

Not to mention anything else, if it comes to the market just because of its appearance, it would cost tens or even hundreds of pounds, and there would definitely be a rush to get it.

What's more, there seem to be very few Ji Cong here in Tongcheng. Anyway, Ye Tian has been here for three years and has never seen anyone selling it. Even if there are, they are brought from other places and are in very poor condition.

Ye Tian went to the vegetable patch and pulled out some pumpkin leaves to wrap the newly unearthed chicken fir. Ye Tian didn't waste any time and drove directly towards Changle Hotel.

Since it is a treasure, of course it is best to eat it fresh.

It just so happened that Li Ming was also busy in the hotel today discussing the decoration of the hotel with the decoration people.

As soon as he saw what Ye Tian brought.

His eyes widened directly.

"Damn, brother, if I read correctly, you are Jicong, right?"

"Ah."

"Where did you buy it? It's so fresh and tender. It's the best! I've been in Tongcheng for so long, and I've never seen anyone selling it with this kind of appearance."

As he spoke, Li Ming couldn't help but take one and observe it in his hand, his face full of joy.

"I dug it myself."

Ye Tian said with a smile.

"Did you dig it yourself? Where did you dig it?"

Li Ming swallowed his saliva and said doubtfully.

"I don't know why there are so many termites growing in my yard. It's probably because there was a termite nest there before."

"You're so lucky. How big of a termite nest is it to grow so many ferns?"

"Who knows, anyway, it's enough to have a good meal tonight."

"That's a must. This kind of chicken fir is an absolute rarity. I haven't seen it for many years. Watch me show it to you later, and I'm sure you'll swallow it with your tongue as it's fresh."

Li Ming is indeed a chef. When he saw the delicious food, his face was full of excitement.

At the same time, the box Ye Tian opened also attracted several people in the hotel to stop.

Looking at the fresh and tender mushrooms in the box, a few people who were still hesitating about what dishes to order suddenly gathered around.

"Lao Li, is this really Jicong?"

"What a good thing. It's hard to find this stuff here. I remember once I went to Miaojiang and they could sell it locally for tens of kilograms."

"Do you want to buy something with this kind of quality and freshness? You want to eat shit. Generally, the ones that you can see weighing tens to one pound are all opened, and after a long period of storage and transportation, they have long been lost. It’s delicious. Compared with this kind of freshness, it’s nothing at all.”

It seems that these people are also gourmet-level figures, and they can speak eloquently when faced with rare things here.

"Lao Li, is this chicken fir yours?"

After some debate, one of them asked with a light in his eyes.

"Well this... belongs to my brother."

When he saw the other party's expression, Li Ming immediately knew what he wanted to say and spoke quickly.

"Brother, can you give it to us evenly? Don't worry, the price is whatever you want."

"This……"

Li Ming glanced at the other party with some embarrassment, and couldn't help but look at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian glanced at those people and recognized that they were all old customers who had been taking care of the business for many years.

He didn't refuse at the moment and smiled slightly.

"Okay, there are so many chicken quivers on the left and right, we can't finish it in one meal. If my brothers want it, I can give it to you. Otherwise, if you keep this thing for a long time, the taste will be greatly reduced."

"Thank you, thank you. Brother Xiaotian is still a real person, not like Lao Li who is so fussy. We came here today because there is a party at home and we are going to order a few tables for dinner. Ji Cong, Lao Li, you think you can get about ten pounds. So, can I give you 150 per pound?"

"150?"

Li Ming was stunned.

Obviously, the price given by the other party was definitely higher than the market price he knew.

"Well, if what you can do, Lao Li, satisfies us, I will give you more."

The other party was obviously not a money-hungry person, he chuckled.

"Then I will accept your money today."

After taking a look at the chicken fir in the box, Li Ming said confidently.

The other party was also worried at this moment and pulled Li Ming to order other dishes.

Ye Tianle looked at this scene happily and was quite satisfied.

Chicken conong is so popular, it will undoubtedly bring better appeal to the restaurant.

The most important thing is that such a price makes it worthwhile for him to study the method of growing chicken fir trees.

According to past experience, the time when chicken conong appears is generally the rainy season in summer.

Therefore, the planting conditions should be high temperature and humidity.

And I had just prepared to build a greenhouse because of the high temperature caused by cockroaches.

When the time comes, we can combine the two and create artificial growth conditions. With so many termites around, I believe there will definitely be a chance to do it.

Until then, it will be a unique existence.

The more he thought about it, the more Ye Tian felt that there was a future.

He couldn't help but take out his phone.

Good things should naturally be shared with the people around you.

Soon, Zhao Rubing and Director Wu contacted each other.

After hearing that there is delicious food again.

Even Zhao Rubing didn't hesitate and said he would come right after get off work.

Then Ye Tian called Wu Gengbiao again.

Finally, Zhang Liang contacted his parents.

Zhang Aiguo and his wife have not left for the past two days, so they can try out their future-specific products.

The call is over.

Li Ming has also arranged for the guests who ordered meals.

Ye Tian told him who to invite tonight, and Li Ming immediately said that he would cook a big meal.

After the discussion, Ye Tian saw that there was still a lot of time before dinner.

I drove back to the farm again.

After searching around the termite nest, I found some unformed chicken fir trees.

But because there isn’t much soil here. No matter how big the ant nest is, it seems impossible to grow too much.

After studying for a while.

Ye Tian looked at the hyphae and white balls in the soil.

If there are no accidents, Jicong should have grown from these things.

I wonder if this fungus, which can already be seen with the naked eye, can be transplanted directly?

Do it when you think of it.

Ye Tian gave orders to the worker ants directly through the queen ant.

Then the worker ants followed Ye Tian's instructions and began to pick up some white matter from the soil and underground nests.

Then he rushed towards the vegetable garden behind the warehouse.

Place it between the gaps in the soil.

Then at Ye Tian's instruction, he covered it with soil.

Soon.

The ants dug out a small piece of vegetable patch.

Ye Tian looked up at the sky.

There seemed to be no dark clouds.

I don’t know how long it will take until it rains next time.

After hesitating for a moment, he simply brought the kettle for watering the flowers.

It's summer now, and the temperature is high enough. Let's try to see if artificial rainfall is effective.

After finishing his work, Ye Tian clapped his hands.

Look at the soaked black soil in front of you.

There was a hint of anticipation on his face.

If he just relies on mycelium cultivation, he actually doesn't have much foundation.

But coupled with the black soil and cockroach feces, the probability of artificial planting has increased a lot.

Besides, he and he were Gu-level termites, and the activity of the hyphae they cultivated should not be comparable to that of ordinary hyphae.

You should know in the next two days whether it is possible or not.

Withdrawing his gaze, Ye Tian went back to his house to get a bottle of gold-grade bubble wine and drove back to Changle Hotel.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I smelled a strong umami smell.
