Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Almost most animals and even plants have this genetic ability.

This is also an essential skill for them to ensure the normal continuation of their offspring.

“Can you get a worker bee to fly within range of a banyan tree?”

Qin Niu wanted to test it with a bee.

But in the entire bee colony, only the queen bee obeys his orders, and the other bees cannot command.

It is even suspected that they may regard Qin Niu as a member of the bee swarm.

"cannot!"

The queen bee answered in the affirmative.

Like the queen ant, the queen bee is just the production machine of the bee colony, and she can control the order of the colony through queen bee pheromones. Let them perform their duties so as not to cause confusion, but there is no way to order them to take risks in designated places.

It can be understood that the bee colony and the ant colony are a whole, and the queen bee and the queen ant are just one of them.

It is completely different from the human empire where the monarch lives and kills.

In human society, the king allows his subjects to die, but the subjects have to die.

In the world of bees, everyone performs their own duties. The worker bees think that the queen bee is old and may even eliminate her.

Qin Niu had to give up the idea of ​​letting the bees go in to explore the way.

It seems we have to let the termites take action.

When the time comes, the ant colony will move in full force. This is a big move, and we must plan it carefully to minimize the loss of the ant colony. Even achieve zero loss.

To do this, he felt that at least until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, when the number of special termites cultivated with the blood of the banyan tree was larger, he would be able to have greater control.

There were many termites that managed to break out.

But the real leader was only the fourth child.

When the time comes, he will definitely take the fourth child with him when he goes in.

Because the fourth child has the most experience.

After observing for a while, he waited until the sword had absorbed all the blood from the banyan tree, then he picked up the basket and started collecting humus.

They are all over the mountains and plains. As long as they are properly matched, it will be a basket of high-quality fat.

The price is as high as fifty cents per basket.

Near noon, he went down the mountain carrying a basket of fertilizer.

The Yan family has at least two tea gardens.

At that time, I was busy collecting the money and did not ask which tea garden it was sent to.

Fortunately, the two tea gardens are very close to each other, at the foot of the tea mountain in the neighboring village.

The neighboring village is also called Camellia Village.

Because the hills near the village have acidic loess suitable for the growth of tea trees, they were reclaimed by the Yan family and planted with tea trees.

Every spring in late October, white camellias bloom all over the mountains and plains.

Hence the village's name.

The tea tree planted on the mountain belongs to the Camellia oleifera tree, which is specialized in producing seeds and pressing tea oil.

It usually takes until the autumn of the second year for the fruit to mature.

Every year, the Yan family will transport a large portion of the tea oil they squeeze out to the city for sale, and the price is about twelve to fifteen cents per pound.

It can be regarded as a sideline business of the Yan family and can generate a lot of money every year.

You may think that the harvest of camellia oil is low and the profit is not high, so the Yan family has begun to develop tea in recent years.

Several barren slopes under the tea mountains were reclaimed and planted with tea trees capable of picking tea.

It may be in the exploratory stage, and it should still be a small fuss at the moment.

Of course, this is relative to the size of the Yan family.

A tea garden has at least seven or eight acres of land, which is not too small.

Qin Niu first came to the largest tea garden.

As far as you can see, there are tea trees half as tall as a person.

It's green and looks lush, and it's obvious that a lot of effort has been put into management.

While he was looking around, he saw a tea farmer about forty years old loosening the soil and weeding the tea trees.

"Uncle, is Butler Yan Qi here?"

"What are you doing with the Seventh Butler?"

The uncle stopped working and looked up.

"He asked me to deliver a basket of fertilizer to the tea garden!"

"Oh, then you sent it to the wrong place! It's that hillside over there. This tea garden is managed by the second housekeeper."

"Okay, thank you, uncle!"

Qin Niu walked toward another hillside carrying fertilizer.

The Yan family's territory is really big, and it's all their own mountains and soil.

A middle-aged man in a green robe walked towards him. He looked about forty-seven or eighteen years old, of medium height, slightly fat, with a moustache and slightly bulging eyes. Walking with eight-character steps, the aura of ‘king and tyrant’ is revealed.

Behind him was a tall, thin farmer about thirty years old.

"Young man, I just heard that you wanted to find Butler Yan Qi?"

"right!"

Qin Niu knew that this middle-aged man must be a middle-to-upper-level member of the Yan family.

How can ordinary people wear green robes?

Only managers who don't have to do any work and are dedicated to directing farmers to do their jobs can wear this kind of robe.

Farmers all wear loose-fitting coarse cloth, long trousers and jackets.

"Is this the fertilizer Yan Qi bought from you?"

"right!"

Qin Niu didn't like this person's tone.

"How much does it cost to buy a basket?"

The man continued to question.

"It would be more appropriate for you to ask Butler Yan Qi about this."

Qin Niu dealt with it carefully.

"If I ask you, answer honestly. This is the second housekeeper of the Yan family. Talking to you has already been a virtue cultivated by your ancestors for three lifetimes."

The tall, thin farmer glared and yelled.

Qin Niu glanced at the farmer lightly. With his current strength, he could hit eight of these with one hand without even breathing.

"Please forgive me, Butler Yan!"

Qin Niu looked at Butler Yan Er.

Butler Yan Er grabbed a handful of fat mud, looked at it, put it to his nose and smelled it.

"It's fat mud from the mountains, go ahead!"

He did not make things difficult for Qin Niu.

The Yan family has an ancestral motto not to do evil. If a member of the Yan family violates the rules, the family rules will be imposed. If a domestic slave, servant, or long-term worker offends, he will be severely punished.

It is precisely because of this ancestral precept that the Yan family has a good image in the minds of local people.

Not far after Qin Niu walked out, he heard Butler Yan Er discussing with the farmer.

"Butler Yan Qi found a young man to buy fat mud from the mountains. I think it's a waste of money."

"Hehe, the Lord made an exception and promoted him to be the seventh steward. Many people are not convinced. In terms of seniority, he is not even qualified to be a steward. The third batch of tea leaves will be picked soon. The first two batches of tea leaves in his tea garden are picked. The tea leaves are very bad, and now I am afraid that I will seek medical treatment in a hurry and start to get confused."

Butler Yan Er had a sneer on his face.

Competition among butlers is equally fierce.

The only stewards of the Yan family who manage the tea garden are Yan Er and Yan Qi.

Seeing Yan Qi looking for a young man to buy mountain fertilizer, Butler Yan Er felt happy.

"Butler Yan Qi is naturally incomparable to you. He was defeated by you the first two times. He must be holding back his energy and want to go up. But growing tea is not as simple as he thought. Fertilizer, water, picking... , varieties, pests, everything must be taken care of. Otherwise, the work will be in vain.”

The tall, thin farmer then complimented Butler Yan Er.

He didn't dare to speak too ill of Butler Yan Qi.

I'm afraid that if the news reaches Yan Qi's ears, he will be dealt with when the time comes.

"Haha, why should he compare with me? I have a master like you who has studied tea cultivation for many years. It is easy to find excellent farmers who grow corn and wheat, but it is difficult to find farmers who can grow tea trees!"

"No, no, no. It's all because of you that I have the little ability I have now. Without your cultivation, would I have the opportunity to display my ambitions?"

The tall, thin farmer tried his best to please Butler Yan.

Due to something unexpected, the second chapter may take place at night, please forgive me!
