Chapter 292 Asking for Advice
Except for the queen ant who moves slowly and can only take a few unsteady steps, the rest of the big leaf ants come out in full force to find a home to build.
Before leaving, they communicated with the queen ant with their antennae, and finally surrounded Josh in circles: We will leave the queen ant to you, and when we find a suitable location to build an ant nest, we will come to pick it up, and you must not bully it!
While communicating with Josh, he looked back at the queen ant worriedly, and finally ran towards the farm without hesitation, which seemed like he was entrusting his child to someone else.
But no one knew what was wrong with the queen ant. Josh felt that she might have been frozen stupid by the freezer. After she recovered, she was not as smart as the other big leaf ants.
These big leaf ants rushed to the farm to find a home, but it seemed to be unconcerned and didn't even look at them. It just lay in the freezer and started to catch up on its sleep.
Will this work? Qiao Xi looked at the queen ant with an indescribable expression.
Forget it, let’s wait and see. Maybe the queen ant needs longer than ordinary leaf ants, so let it sleep for a while.
Before leaving, Josh told them to come back for dinner when they were almost hungry, and that food would be prepared for them, and not to eat anything else.
Although the big leaf ants look disgusting, you still have to eat them. Don't go out and eat garbage, or you will die from eating it.
After hearing Josh's instructions, the big leaf ants, who were already in a low mood, became even more sad, and their two long antennae almost drooped to the ground.
What is going on? Qiao Xi found the newspaper she had specially left behind about farm monsters. She remembered that it seemed to be written about it, but she didn't have time to read it carefully before. Now is a good time to take a look.
After searching for a long time, she finally found the report about the big leaf ants in the newspaper issue dated the twelfth of last month.
Magical habits of monsters: Many monsters will force themselves to eat food that is difficult for them to swallow. The most representative of these is the rare big-leaf ant. The biggest feature of this precious agricultural monster is that it must feed on big-leaf ant beans. It can eat other foods in small amounts, but without the supplement of big-leaf ant beans for a long time, it will cause irreparable damage to their bodies and lead to the death of a large number of big-leaf ants.
But they themselves hate the taste of the big-leaf ant bean, and often deliberately fail to take good care of the big-leaf ant bean, causing the big-leaf ant bean plants to die, thereby accelerating their own demise.
As for the reason, this may be an unsolved mystery. No one knows why the big leaf ants have such special habits.
Well, I read it but it seems to be of no use, I just think it tastes bad.
If it tastes bad, why did you evolve to the point where you have to eat it? What are you thinking? Qiao Xi greeted the ancestors of the large-leaf ant bean and was speechless.
But the question is, will these little guys fail to take good care of the crops and even cause damage just because the big-leaf ant beans are so unpalatable?
Josh has to pay attention to this.
"Little pink ball~Little pink ball~" After thinking about it, Qiao Xi decided to call for help.
"Gugu~" I am a pelican, what can I do for you? I don't know who it learned to speak strangely these days.
"Little pink ball, did you see those big ants that just came out of the yard? Pay attention to them if they go to the big-leaf ant bean field in the next few days. Don't let them cause any damage. If you find any, bring the criminal ants to me and don't resort to lynching." Qiao Xi instructed it again.
The little pink ball nodded and said "coo coo~" OK master, got it!
However, it was a little curious: "Gugu?" Aren't big-leaf ants the favorite of big-leaf ant beans?
Well, Josh organized her words. She thought so before today.
"Maybe, maybe, what it needs is not what it likes. In any case, they may not like that piece of bean as much as we think."
"Gu~" Oh! The pink-feathered pelican nodded, not quite understanding. OK.
"Oh, by the way, if you encounter other monsters on the farm, remember to tell them not to bully the newcomers."
"Gugu!" Got it, got it! The pink-feathered pelican had an expression that said, "Don't worry about me, I'll do the job."
"Okay, that's fine, let's go out and play." Josh smiled helplessly.
"Gu~" It's gone, and it flew away in a whoosh.
Now the little pink ball has grown into a huge pink ball. When it stands up, it is as big as Josh. The down feathers on its body have almost faded. In a few months, it may grow pink feathers like its mother, and it will become a beautiful big baby bird.
It hasn't faded completely yet, and still looks a bit youthful and cute like a little bird, but it's still naughty and a bit of a headache.
After tidying up, Dolly was almost here. Josh moved the freezer back to the warehouse and put the lid back on. The midday sun was already quite hot, and he didn't want the queen ant to dry out. He was afraid that she would be hungry when she woke up, so he left her a mixed salad of leaves and pods of the broadleaf ant bean. After thinking about it, he decided to add some honey.
Okay, Josh finally closed the lid with confidence, tidied himself up, and prepared to welcome Dolly.
Just as I brewed the fresh zephyranthes flower tea, I heard the lop-eared wolves barking. They sounded timid and had no deterrent power at all. Only when facing disobedient lambs would they make the most powerful howls to deter them.
They simply don't have the courage to deal with humans.
Josh came out to greet him, "Dolly you're here, please."
Dolly smiled and nodded to Josh: "Thank you, Miss Josh."
"Dolly, do you want to say something today? Or do you just want to talk to me about the shop?" Josh asked directly as soon as he sat down.
Dolly was a little nervous for a moment when she suddenly heard Josh's straightforward words, but then she calmed down.
"Ms. Josh, I'm not here just to talk to you about the shop. I have something else I want to ask you." Dolly was a little nervous.
Qiao Xi looked at her, not understanding what she wanted to ask. She looked much more aloof and arrogant before, but why was she a little...
Dolly licked her dry lips. She wasn't sure if Josh would find her question too offensive. She said she wasn't nervous, she would be lying to that fool Connor.
"Ms. Qiao Xi, as you know, the main product of Manye Farm is compressed juice. Over the past year or so, I have focused on the research and development of the magic fruit tree and led my partners in the farm to develop several types of compressed juice. I originally thought that Chaoyang City would not have food of the same quality, but when I tasted the Weiguang Fruit Drink, I realized that I had become a frog in a well.
The future development of compressed juice bothers me a lot. I don’t know where to improve so that compressed juice can gain a place in the market. So even if you are a competitor, I would like to ask you for advice. Can you give me some advice on the development of my farm? "
