Chapter 884 is like taking a money printing machine to the Middle East
Guotou wiped the sweat off his face, looked up and saw Jingshu, and said in surprise, "Sister Jing, when did you come? Why didn't you say anything? One can only sell for 700 to 800 virtual coins, and I can sell about ten a day. If more, the market here won't be able to eat it. After all, it's not a very delicious meat."
"It's enough to feed the people in your village, but it might be difficult to buy luxury goods. But when the people from Wucheng come, we will continue to cooperate, and the market will definitely be big enough." Jingshu nodded.
The unpalatable dark food is very cheap, and one or two virtual coins are enough to fill you up.
Even a slightly normal synthetic meat costs ten virtual coins.
Ordinary luxury goods such as chickens and ducks cost at least seven or eight thousand virtual coins each. The reason for the serious premium is because they are scarce, and ordinary poultry are also delicate and difficult to raise.
Guotou chuckled, cleaned the slaughterhouse-like shop with seawater, took off his apron and said:
"Sister Jing, today is Xiaowei's birthday. Let's go to a restaurant in the wealthy area and get a Wenchang chicken. (Let's not talk about chicken, let's be civilized.) Xiaowei has been wanting to eat chicken for a long time but has never been able to afford it."
"Have we finished eating all the food we traded before the migration?" Jingshu was surprised. Before leaving, they gave us dozens of carts of various foods, and of course, synthetic meat also accounted for a large proportion.
"Well... Xiaowei's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and her body size is getting bigger and bigger. I don't know whether it is good or bad." Guotou was a little melancholy.
"It's not a bad thing. Let's go. No need to go to the restaurant to buy anything. I brought a lot of delicious food." Jingshu said with a smile.
"Oh, I knew you were so delicious, Sister Jing!"
After leaving the dock port, continue walking south for 50 kilometers. Xiaowei's base camp is in the former cemetery of Nanhai District. It is deserted and even if people from Wucheng move here, it is still quite far away.
In the pitch-black wilderness, several three-meter-long gastropod engineers were running in front, their 36 legs rotating back and forth like electric fans.
Jingshu, who followed behind with all her might but could only eat the dust, sat silently inside the Hulk's body and could only see the giant insect flying as if it were riding on Hot Wheels.
However, the gastropod has to stop every few minutes and use its mouth to clean the carrion worms stuck on its 36 legs, otherwise it will not be able to run at all. There is no other way, the entire wilderness is full of carrion worms.
The closer to the insect nest, the fewer carrion beetles there are. By the time we arrived at the place, there was no grass growing within a few kilometers around it, and the entire cemetery had disappeared. Only a large sunken basin was left, which was filled with densely packed gastropods.
On the edge, there are several rows of mud houses, where hundreds of villagers live.
In the center, there is a tunnel leading to the underground insect nest. The tunnel is wide and clean, like a train tunnel.
The giant insects coming and going, some are looking for food, some are specifically taking care of insect eggs, and some are cooperating with the villagers to transport supplies.
The underground insect nest is also very large, just like an underground palace. In order to facilitate the villagers' entry and exit, the ground is reinforced and waterproofed with cement, and there are even road signs at the forks in the road.
Guotou, with his hair blown into an afro by the wind, proudly said in front, "Wenjun studied architecture and worked with the bugs to build this underground insect nest for over a month."
Jingshu gave a thumbs up, saying that this nest was built with great care.
The old nest has a special nursery, with all four walls densely packed with insect eggs. Guotou said, "When the people from Wucheng move in, we'll hatch these eggs we've been saving for half a year and sell them to you, Sister Jing. That'll just pay off our debt."
"Well, no rush. I have another great use for it." Jingshu smiled mysteriously.
In fact, coming to see Xiaowei today was also part of the plan.
Well, Xiaowei is an important part of the plan, because Jingshu wants to take Xiaowei and the army of unhatched insects to the Middle East.
Jingshu thought this way. First of all, if you take a boat, you can't take many adult giant insects with you. It's better to take more eggs and hatch them slowly on the way. By the time you reach the destination, the gastropods will have grown up, and there will be countless giant insects!
The food of gastropods is also easy to solve. They originally live in the mud sea, and after hatching, they can directly find carrion worms in the sea to eat.
As for why Jingshu brought so many gastropods to the Middle East?
First, because of the gastropod
The insect population is a very good fighting force. The most important thing is that they have passed a clear path. Xiao Wei was discovered together with Jun Bao that year, and they made great contributions by building the tunnel. Therefore, Jun Bao will not only not slice up Xiao Wei for research, but will also protect Xiao Wei as a Wucheng citizen.
Since there are ferocious species like gastropods and mud mermaids in the world, there is a high probability that there are also such species in the ocean.
If we ever run into other dangerous and ferocious races, or encounter other powerful forces in the Middle East, with the gastropods in the open and countless mud mermaids in the dark, I believe we can turn danger into safety, protect Jingshu and keep her safe.
With Jingshu's fear of death, she must bring all the bodyguards with her, and the Hulk must protect her closely, and even a wall of flesh must be built to protect her.
The second is that since we are going to purchase goods, it goes without saying that if we encounter a weak opponent, but if we encounter an evenly matched or friendly party, there is an extreme shortage of food in the Middle East. Since the entire body of gastropods can be eaten, how much supplies can be exchanged for so many precious insects?
Wouldn't that be a better price than here?
Third, what if something happened at sea again, like the building disaster in the fourth year that left thousands of people without food? Then the entire ferry fleet would be out of food. Jingshu didn't happen to have millions of red nematodes this time, so could this gastropod also keep the people on dozens or hundreds of ferries from starving? This way, she could earn another contribution to the government and exchange it for secret weapons.
Therefore, it is necessary to take gastropods to the Middle East. Take them as mobile combat rations, and when it is inconvenient to fight, you can exchange them for a large amount of supplies, which is a sure profit.
With Xiaowei, the insect queen, around, not only can the insects be managed better, but they can also continue to lay eggs and hatch them for several months, continuously expanding the insect army.
It can be said that bringing Xiaowei with you is like bringing a money printing machine with you.
Xiaowei lives in a huge, empty underground lair. Her lower body lays eggs in a large pool, and her upper body is the same size as an ordinary person, otherwise you would have to tilt your neck back to talk to her.
The pool is covered with soft fluff. The lower half of the insect's body is three or four meters long, with a bulging abdomen. It lays eggs almost every second. The fist-sized eggs roll onto the conveyor belt, and are checked and classified by special personnel before being placed in the nursery.
Xiaowei's upper body had also gained a lot of weight. At this moment, she was yawning with one hand holding her chin, and with the other hand she was putting the last bit of chocolate beans into her mouth.
The overall size is half a size larger than last year.
Seeing Jingshu coming with the Hulk, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Jingshu, you are finally here! Wenjun, Wenjun, go and receive the supplies quickly. Jingshu brought us a lot of delicious food! I can already smell it!"
