Chapter 22 Amethyst Bee Hive

…

However, this idea only passed by in a flash, because Wang Shouzhe only knew that the earliest sodium glutamate was extracted from kelp, but the content of sodium glutamate in kelp was very low, making it difficult to carry out industrial operations.

Modern technology is to extract sodium glutamate from soybeans and other crops through microbial fermentation.

However, Wang Shouzhe knew almost nothing about the refining process and principles of sodium glutamate, so it took him a long time to successfully develop it himself. Therefore, the idea of ​​making a fortune had to be put aside for the time being, and it would be safer to start by improving and optimizing the family industry.

"Second brother, you understand the principle. I hope you will seize the time to experiment and improve. Don't let Uncle Liu's fishing team work hard to catch live fish. Of course, you must also keep our Wang family's secrets. If you believe this, how can you do it? Knows better than I do.”

After Wang Shouzhe gave a few instructions, he led his family to leave.

And Wang Shouyi had already been itching for a long time after receiving the "inheritance". I didn't even bother to give it to Wang Shouzhe, so I couldn't wait to try it. Once successful, the traditional family business of fish stalls can take advantage of it.

The gate of Changning Weidong City.

After leaving the city, there is a straight and wide official road.

Wang Shouzhe and his two generals galloped forward on horseback, and within an hour they arrived at Changning Ferry in Anjiang.

Changning Ferry is Guandu, and is actually controlled by the Changning Guards. The tentacles of the three families in Ping'an Town stop abruptly here, which is a clear dividing line.

A general of the Wang family had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as he saw Wang Shouzhe and others, he came up to him and said, "Wang Wu meets the master of the family."

"Excuse me, are the aunt and fifth sister here?" When Wang Shouzhe left the family that night, he left a letter to Gongsun Hui and asked her to act according to the plan in the letter.

"For the record, head of the family." Wang Wu said respectfully, "The carriages of Madam Hui and Miss Fifth are already waiting in front."

Under Wang Wu's guidance, Wang Shouzhe quickly joined Gongsun Hui and others. After getting on the carriage, Gongsun Hui first poured a cup of tea for Wang Shouzhe, with a worried look on his eyebrows: "Zhe'er, are the things mentioned in your letter really so serious?"

"I'm afraid it's more serious than imagined." Wang Shouzhe took a sip of tea to calm down and said with a frown, "Qian's Trading Company's properties are all over Longzuo, but they are not aware of this matter. It can be seen that at least within the scope of Longzuo County, No major force has issued an early warning about this disaster."

"How could this be so?" Gongsun Hui lost his voice as his face turned pale, "There are so many wealthy families in Longzuo County, and none of them noticed it? If this happens, wouldn't it mean that many civilians will suffer?"

"Auntie, you are worrying too much. If the sky is going to fall, there will be no tall people to hold it up. All we little Wangs can do is go with the flow. How to survive and grow is the right way." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "But auntie It makes sense. The huge Longzuo County cannot be the first one to notice the insect plague. Maybe most people will ignore it, but there will always be some families who are aware of something fishy and secretly make preparations in advance. Or maybe someone has already A warning has been issued, but the news has not reached us in Changning yet."

Human nature is universal.

After Wang Shouzhe discovered the matter, he immediately kept it strictly confidential and prepared to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Most of the other families who discovered the matter by luck or ability also thought the same.

What's more, Wang Shouzhe discovered this very late and just had time to adapt to the situation. Even if this matter is publicized, it will only cause chaos to break out in advance, and it will not help the overall situation at all.

"Zhe'er, you're right. It's good that our small family can take care of ourselves now." Gongsun Hui also said with relief, "The Daqian Government and Zifu Academy, as well as those wealthy families, will definitely take care of themselves at the critical moment. Take action to provide disaster relief. Zhe'er, if you can think of saving the Gongsun family at this juncture, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Shanyang Gongsun family."

"What are you talking about, Madam? The Gongsun family has been intermarriage with our Wang family for generations, and they have been united by blood for a long time. They should help each other." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "It just so happens that I haven't visited my grandfather for a long time, and I want to pay my respects to his old man."

As far as Wang Shouzhe knew, the intermarriage between the Gongsun family and the Wang family was really deep. Take Gongsun Mo, the current patriarch of the Gongsun family, for example. His biological grandmother is Wang Lingdie, the fourth-generation legitimate daughter of the Wang family. Her aunt, Gongsun Hui, has to call her great-grandmother.

When the Wang family was in the fourth generation, they also married the Gongsun family's legitimate daughter, who was Wang Shouzhe's great-grandmother.

It can be seen from this that the direct relationship between the Gongsun family and the Wang family is very close.

When the word "grandfather" was mentioned, Gongsun Hui was stunned for a moment and then suddenly felt happy. He said with emotion: "Zhe'er, you have really grown up and become sensible."

Although Gongsun Hui was not Wang Shouzhe's biological mother, she was his aunt. Her father, Gongsun Mo, was naturally Wang Shouzhe's maternal grandfather. It's just that Wang Shouzhe's predecessor was relatively withdrawn from a young age. When he visited Gongsun Mo several times from childhood to adulthood, he was relatively indifferent and not very close to each other.

For Gongsun Hui, after marrying Wang Dingyue, he only gave birth to a legitimate daughter but not a legitimate son, so all his attention was focused on his legitimate son Wang Shouzhe.

This is the case with the laws of the Daqian Kingdom and the rules that all Xuanwu families abide by. Regardless of whether they are biological children or not, the relationship between a legitimate mother and a legitimate son is a serious mother-child relationship.

While Gongsun Hui was chatting, the fifth sister Wang Luojing had been sitting obediently, blinking her eyes and not daring to say anything even though she sounded bored.

"Luo Jing, fourth brother brought you a gift, do you like it?" Wang Shouzhe took out a package and handed it over.

Wang Luojing opened it and saw a beehive. She immediately covered her mouth in surprise and whimpered, "Here, this beehive is like a ball, with a hexagonal mouth and a slightly jade-like color. Could it be the legendary one?" Amethyst Spirit Bee Hive? Thank you, fourth brother, that’s great.”

Wait, what the hell is the Amethyst Spirit Bee?

Wang Shouzhe looked slightly startled: "Luo Jing, you are not good at learning. This is clearly a tiger-headed bee hive."

Wang Luojing was stunned for a moment, biting her jade finger and said, "I understand, Fourth Brother, you are here to test me again." According to the Insect Scripture, the Tiger-headed Spirit Bee and the Amethyst Spirit Bee looked more alike when they were in the first-order body. The difference is that the Amethyst Spirit Bee's body is more slender. However, their hives are quite different. The Tiger-headed Spirit Bee's hives are usually flatter and the mouth of the nest is slightly rough. The Amethyst Spirit Bee's hives are usually round and the body is crystal jade. Transformation. This is a nest of amethyst spirit bees that are still at the first-order body level, only slightly transformed into jade. If they are promoted to the second-order body, the honeycomb will be more than ten times larger than this, and the whole body will gradually turn into amethyst jade. shape."

While speaking, Wang Luojing carefully poured out a few more bee pupae, and immediately her little face was full of distress: "The people who picked the beehives are really stupid, so many pupae and larvae are dead, woo hoo ~ this is really..." Amethyst Spirit Bee, there are only a few dozen pupae left alive, what a pity!”

"Is it really the Amethyst Spirit Bee?" Wang Shouzhe's face also became a little weird, "Am I missing something?" He was formerly the young clan leader, so he naturally had to learn a lot of knowledge. Among the spirit bees, the Tiger-headed Spirit Bee Generally speaking, it is relatively common and he is quite familiar with it.

However, they don’t know much about the Amethyst Spirit Bee. They only know that it is a rare species that can grow to the second level of Spirit Bee.

Gongsun Hui on the side also looked at him sideways when he heard this. He covered his mouth and said, "Zhe'er, you didn't really buy this as a Steller Bee hive, did you? How much gold did it cost?"

"I was casually walking around the market and discovered this beehive. When I thought that my fifth sister had the potential to be a spiritual insect master, I bought it for her to play with..." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "The price is only ten gold, look. It seems that both the casual cultivator and I were blinded, haha~"

"It's more than just punching your eyes, you are blind." Gongsun Hui also laughed and joked, "The amethyst spirit bees among the second-level spirit bees, once they are truly mature, the amethyst spirit honey they produce will have the ability to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the energy. It has the effect of nourishing and beautifying the skin and is the main raw material in many second-level elixirs. If [Amethyst Queen Honey] can be produced, it will be a standard third-level elixir and the main ingredient of the famous third-level elixir [Qi Ling Dan]. One of the spiritual materials.”

"Hiss~" Wang Shouzhe took a breath of air, "Qiling Pill, isn't that the legendary elixir that can improve Xuanwu qualifications?"
