Chapter 313: Ancestral Secret Recipe
Feng Shuo waited until the king cobra finished eating and watched it crawl away from the orchard before returning.
Feeling excited, Feng Shuo had some more ideas.
There happened to be no other hired workers around, only Feng Zao himself. He carefully took out the box containing the pills from his pocket and took out the copper coins inside.
Before taking it, I also wiped my hands to prevent the sweat in my hands from corroding and destroying the "medicinal properties" of the copper coins.
He got the idea after seeing the busy ants on the ground.
Attract ants with a small piece of sweet-smelling fruit.
When the piece of fruit attracted enough ants, as if a black veil enveloped the piece of fruit, Feng Shuo approached carefully so as not to disturb the ants with his footsteps.
Hold the red string on the copper coin and stay away from it for a while.
Some ants left the fruit, but many remained on it.
The wind stopped moving and continued to maintain that distance, breathing lightly.
After waiting for a while, the ants that left returned again.
Quietly continuing to approach the piece of fruit, Feng Shuo stretched out his arms and moved the copper coin closer to that side.
As the copper coins approached, the busy ants seemed to sense something, abandoned the sweet and tempting piece of fruit, and scattered in panic.
"The impact on ants is limited and not as big as the impact on snakes."
This result is not surprising.
When Feng Yi gave this copper coin to him, he said that it had been treated with something to repel snakes, so it must be targeted.
With this in mind, Feng Shuo left the orchard and on his way home, he picked out other small insects and animals to try, including the birds that flew in and harassed him from time to time.
Then I discovered that this thing has different effects on different animals.
Although it does not have as strong an effect on snakes, it will still have a repelling effect at a close distance.
You won’t be afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes when you wear this!
It works so well!
If Feng Yi hadn't told you how this thing was made, he would have thought it was some supernatural factor, such as the consecration of ancestors that grandma said.
If you don't know about it, you will definitely want to put it on the table and offer incense immediately!
Sure enough, any bizarre event becomes much more calm and rational when viewed from a scientific perspective.
Although Feng Shou doesn't have the urge to place a table to offer incense now, he still wants to offer it!
This precious and miraculous object should be offered when not in use!
I saw the faded and stained old red rope wrapped around the copper coin, which was particularly dazzling against the new copper coin.
"Go buy a new red string tomorrow! Wear it around your neck when you go out!"
After returning home, Feng Sou asked grandma for her copper coin and tried the same method with ants.
This copper coin that my grandma has followed for decades also has a repellent effect on ants, but the effect is much worse.
It should be because it has been aged for too long and the smell has become lighter, so the effect is not as good as the newly made one.
In any case, it is rare to have a "protective" effect that lasts for so many years.
As for whether it was consecrated by the ancestors, Feng Shou didn't know.
In fact, after seeing the effect of Feng Yi's gift of copper coins, he no longer believed in the supernatural theory.
But it's not absolute.
The scene of the ancestor worship ceremony at the Feng Family Ancestral Hall in Yangcheng still shook Feng Shou's mind.
Looking at the copper coins in his hand, Feng Shuo thought, maybe the one given by Feng Yi was treated with medicine, and the one from grandma was not only treated with medicine, but also underwent unknown mysterious rituals?
Shaking his head, Feng Shuo put aside the messy imagination in his mind and opened his phone to read the message.
The previous message sent to Feng Yi had already been replied to. Feng sent and received a message to inquire. Knowing that it was convenient for Feng Yi to answer the call now, he directly made a voice call.
"Brother Yi, thank you for the copper coin you gave me. The effect is so obvious! The king cobra was more than three meters tall and was seven or eight steps away from me at the time. As soon as I took out the copper coin, it ran away! It's super effective!"
Feng Shuo briefly talked about what happened today, and then said: "My grandma also has a zodiac sign to spend money on. She has been wearing it since she was a child. It has a similar effect to the one you gave her, but it may have been too long. The effect is not as obvious as yours. My grandma said that her ancestors blessed the copper coin, so it can last for so many years..."
Having said this, Feng Tsang paused and asked tentatively: "Are all these copper coins polished?"
He didn't know much about the customs of the Feng clan and wanted to know more about them.
What exactly is the so-called consecration ceremony?
In addition, I also want to know if this copper coin has any other added value. Although he has not been exposed to these before, he also knows that the price of the same object is very different between those that have been illuminated and those that have not been illuminated!
On the other side of the phone, Feng Yi paused and said: "... What I sent was just wrapped in something to repel snakes. I don't know if the other copper coins were processed in other ways."
"So, the level of drug treatment is actually about the same. Can you tell me more?" Feng Shuo was curious.
"Sorry, it's a secret recipe passed down from our ancestors." Feng Yi could only say.
When he heard it was a "secret recipe handed down from his ancestors," Feng Shou apologized profusely. I really can’t ask too much about technical things.
No longer mentioning the secret recipe, Feng Shuo asked instead: "How long can the snake-repelling effect of copper coins last?"
"To be honest, I don't know either."
Feng Yi really didn't know how long the effect would last, and he hadn't tried it either.
calculate?
That's even harder. The amount of information material in the coating of each copper coin is not exactly the same.
When Feng Yi said this, Feng Shou became even more convinced that it was indeed a scientific process.
The smell does last a long time, but it also fades and becomes lighter.
Just like his grandma's, it means that the smell has almost dissipated.
Time is still short, and some things cannot be proven. For example, his grandma said, "The effects of spending money on zodiac signs blessed by ancestors last for decades."
Feng Shou thought for a while and asked again: "Brother Yi, do you think there are ghosts in the world?"
Feng Yi: "Believe in science."
Feng Shuo was not surprised to hear this reply.
All right.
Therefore, the strange effect of copper coins is indeed just a scientific technology and scientific means. In any case, this copper coin really made him happy.
To express his gratitude, Feng Shou wanted to give fruits as a gift and send a fruit gift box to Feng Yi.
This was Feng Suo's wish, and Feng Yi did not refuse.
"Brother Yi, does anyone in your family know how to store fruits? Different fruits have different storage methods, and some storage temperatures cannot be too low."
"My chef knows how to store and preserve vegetables and fruits."
“It would be better to have a dedicated storage room at home.”
"Well, there is a special place for fresh food."
"Okay, my friends are in the fruit import and export trade. I'll ask them to help bring them over. It's more secure. Brother Yi, please keep an eye on your phone in the next few days."
Feng Shou didn't ask how many people Feng Yi had in his family. I have learned about Feng Yi and know that Feng Yi does not live with the Feng family in Yangcheng.
Feng Yi's own living conditions are also very good, and there should be hired chefs and bodyguards at home. If you send more fruits once, you can share them with others or give them to friends.
With this plan in mind, Feng Shou went to the orchard to pick out the fruits himself the next day.
When sending fruits to Feng Yi, it must be mainly those from the boutique area. But because there are few types of fruits in the boutique area, he will also prepare some in the non-premium area.
During his break, Feng Shuo would also chat with several new friends who had joined his address book.
They are the clan members I met when I went to Yangcheng.
Yesterday, a king cobra appeared in the orchard. After he posted it on Moments, several new friends sent messages asking about it.
Among these clan members, Feng Shuo and Feng Zheng talked the most and were more familiar with each other.
Just like now, Feng Zheng heard that he was busy in the orchard and wanted to see the scenery here and made a video call directly.
Feng Shou took his mobile phone and chose a slightly higher position, letting Feng Zheng see the situation here through the camera screen.
"Wow! The scenery is nice! There must be a lot of people planting fruit trees over there! Which piece of land is yours?"
"It's all here."
"Wow! I didn't realize it, you're a rich man! Your family fortune is so big!"
Feng Zheng was amazed.
When they met in Yangcheng, he thought Feng Shou was just an ordinary person from a village in some small country.
But after being amazed, the focus shifted to the snake.
"Have you encountered any snakes today?" Feng Zheng asked.
"No, encountering snakes is not as frequent as you think."
Feng Shou talked about his side of things.
Living in tropical areas, snakes are not uncommon, and he can talk a lot about snakes casually.
Feng Zheng listened and said: "I still think the King Cobra is more powerful and more powerful! It is definitely the most scary one!"
Feng Suo: "You can't compare it like that. We don't want to encounter a round-spotted viper. Some people here call him a kidney-deficient snake."
Feng Zheng: "Uh... I really don't want to meet him just because of his name."
Those things that Feng Shuo said are unimaginable to people who have lived in the city since childhood.
Feng Zheng: "For me, I still prefer places with a higher degree of urbanization when traveling to the tropics. It's too close to nature and too dangerous, no matter if it's insects or snakes, it's not something I can accept. All creatures follow It’s like eating fertilizer, the ants are so—so big!”
Feng Huan smiled and said: "If you come here for a trip, you don't have to worry if I take you with me. We have a secret weapon!"
Not everyone has such a zodiac sign to spend money, so Feng Shou will not mention this to other clan members.
Asking is asking for the ancestral secret recipe!
"It would be great if the snake venom could be completely defeated." Feng Zheng said.
"Huh? Didn't the news say that the Ancestor Factory has developed an all-purpose antivenom? Isn't this considered a victory?" Feng Shuo said.
"Technically, this problem can be solved, but most people can't afford it! That medicine is too expensive!"
"I hope that the technology of the Ancestral Factory can be upgraded quickly. Maybe one day ordinary people will be able to afford all-purpose anti-venom drugs."
"The Ancestral Factory is a commercial company, not a charity. We have the technology in our hands. Why sell something that can sell for ten thousand yuan for ten yuan?"
Feng Shou thought of the sign that appeared in an inconspicuous corner in the photos of the plantation viper bite incident he saw in his circle of friends, and said:
"It's probably that the technology can't keep up, and the price can't be lowered. The Ancestral Factory has actually done a good job in this area. They have stations in areas where there are many snakes, and they have also set up a medical relief fund. If you encounter a venomous snake, If you are bitten and cannot afford it, you can apply for assistance.
"There are so many companies and teams researching snake venom around the world. For now, the most powerful one is the Ancestor Factory."
…
After giving the fruit to Feng Yi, Feng Shou would wear the copper coins around his neck every day when he went out for the next few days. The copper coins were exposed to the outside, allowing the air to take away more breath, so that dangerous creatures around him could feel the breath.
Every morning, Feng Shou first went to the orchard for a patrol, just like the king's daily patrol of the territory, to deter all kinds of villains.
And over time, there may be more deterrent auras in the orchard, which can have a lasting effect.
The hired workers don't have to worry about encountering poisonous snakes.
After several days, Feng Shou confirmed again that this copper coin has a stronger effect on repelling some poisonous insects and snakes, but it is relatively weaker for general harmless small animals and insects.
Just like those ants, as long as they are not too close, they will have no effect.
But snakes are different. As long as they smell the smell, they will run away.
So, this is selective and targeted!
The specific impact range is still unknown, but it is certain that it is much larger than Feng Shou thought at the beginning.
He doesn't know how effective the ancestors' blessing is, but he really feels the magical effect of Feng Yi's copper coin!
It is worthy of being the exclusive secret recipe passed down by the ancestors of the Feng clan!
Such a great secret recipe can make a lot of money if it is run. I don’t know if Feng Yi has applied for a patent.
However, Feng Shou only thought about these. After all, the secret recipe is not his, but Feng Yi’s. As for how Feng Yi should treat such a secret recipe, he doesn’t need to bother.
You can’t ask too much about the secret recipe passed down from ancestors. It would be rude to ask too much.
Alas, Feng Yi has helped a lot. The fruit sent this time is still too little, not sincere enough!
On the other side, Yangcheng.
Feng Yi received a strange call.
“Excuse me, is this Mr. Feng with the phone number ending in xxxx?” the other party asked.
“Who are you?”
“Hello, there is a fruit sent from overseas, the address is Cuihu Luhai No. xx… Is it yours?”
“It’s mine.”
“Excuse me, is it convenient for you to sign for it today? It will be delivered to your home around 3 pm.” The other party said.
“Sure.” Feng Yi said.
It should be the fruit gift box sent by Feng Shou. Feng Shou said that he asked a friend to bring it over and hired someone to deliver it to ensure that there would be no other problems during the transportation of the fruit.
Anyway, he had no plans to go out today.
After the call ended, the phone was thrown aside.
Feng Yi sat down at the desk, his expression gradually became painful.
On the computer screen in front of him, in the document opened, the top line had a few big words - "Mid-year Summary".
A report to be written in the mid-term stage of the year.
He has been working on this since he didn't go out these days.
It's too painful, why do I have to write this for catching snakes? !
It's different from every task report, and I can't fool around, because it's related to his promotion in the Joint Guarantee Bureau!
He took a deep breath and continued to write the summary.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a call came from the property management, saying that a truck was delivering goods.
Feng Yi: ? ? ?
Truck?
