Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Such a big wolf carcass cannot be eaten in a short time. You have to find a way to marinate part of it and eat it slowly.

There were no refrigerators in the ancient world. Although ice could be made artificially with saltpeter, ordinary people would never even think about it.

Spreading salt evenly on the meat can also have a good preservative effect.

But salt is very expensive.

Even official salt costs nearly eight cents a pound. Private salt is half the price, only four cents a pound.

But if you are caught buying illegal salt, you will be punished with death.

The government is very strict.

After all, the salt tax was the second largest tax after land tax.

It is obviously not wise to deal with such a large wolf carcass by salting it. He doesn't have that much salt either.

Among many treatment methods such as salting, soaking in oil, pickling, air-drying, sun-drying, and smoking, pickling is the preferred method for treating this wolf carcass.

He first tied a rope to the beam, then hung the wolf's neck, and carefully peeled off the entire wolf skin with a knife.

This process is not easy.

A good wolf skin can be sold for more than five taels of silver, which is very valuable. This wolf skin has little damage and poor wool quality, but it is no problem to sell it for 1.5 taels of silver.

If you can find a willing buyer, you can even sell it for two taels of silver.

For the impoverished Qin Niu, it was definitely a huge sum of money.

After putting the wolf skin away, he cut off the best piece of hind leg meat and carried it out the door.

He went directly to Wang Fu's house, grabbed the copper ring on the red lacquer door, and knocked hard.

According to etiquette, visitors usually knock three times.

No response, tap again three times after a while.

"Who is it?"

The door opened. A woman with big hands and feet opened the door.

This is Wu Ma, a servant of the Wang family.

"To the rich man Wang!"

Qin Niu handed the wolf leg meat to Wu Ma, said only one word, turned around and left.

"My boss, my boss, the Aniu next door has sent you a piece of wolf leg meat!"

Wu Ma reported to Mr. Wang.

"Oh! This kid is really thoughtful!"

Upon hearing the sound, Mr. Wang walked out of the master room on the east side. When he saw such a big wolf leg, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Get it to the kitchen and cut off a pound or two and cook it carefully. This is a rare supplement. It can be used to replenish Wanyan's health."

After Qin Niu delivered the wolf leg meat, he began to process the remaining wolf meat, cutting it off piece by piece and deboning it.

The internal organs were temporarily thrown aside without processing.

At noon, he had a rare meal of meat.

Because it is an old wolf, the meat is a bit weak and cannot be chewed thoroughly.

But the cooked soup is very sticky and must be a great supplement.

Checking his personal attributes, he found that his cultivation level had increased again.

It has risen to 21.2/100 in the first level of mortals.

This speed is really amazing.

After working until night, I finally finished processing all the wolf meat and internal organs.

He was thinking about going to the city tomorrow, selling the wolf skin, and then returning home with a bad basic practice book.

Raising insects, taming animals, and planting are all just external things. The purpose of doing these is to make money and to assist cultivation.

Only improving one's own cultivation is fundamental.

To focus on external things and ignore oneself is to put the cart before the horse.

His lifespan is only 51 years. No matter how prosperous his life is and how much money he makes, he will be nothing but dust after 51 years.

Only cultivation can make him immortal.

He was very poor before and had no money to buy the exercises. It’s useless even if I buy it, and I can’t even eat enough, so how can I practice cultivation?

Now, his planting skills can be improved quickly, which also gives him great confidence.

You can get this technique and come back to practice.

As for becoming a famous teacher or even joining a sect to learn superior cultivation techniques, don't even think about it.

How many children of wealthy and noble families have difficulty entering a cultivation sect despite having accumulated resources and guidance from famous teachers.

He is just an ordinary citizen with nothing but money. Let alone entering a sect, even entering a martial arts sect affiliated with a sect is extremely difficult.

Bang bang bang!

There was a rough knock on the door.

This was the sound of a slap on the wooden door.

The person who came had a strong hand and was very rude. He was not a good person.

He ran through thoughts quickly in his mind.

The family is extremely poor, and the only thing that can make people greedy is this wolf corpse.

It seems that human greed is still underestimated.

Qin Niu quickly threw the best pieces of wolf meat into the stove and covered it with black ashes.

Not to mention that, I mixed some pot ashes and soil into the large wooden basin for curing the meat.

This trick is a bit like spitting into the food bowl when grabbing food at a dinner party.

If you spit it out, others will find it disgusting and won't grab that bowl.

"Open the door!"

The sound of banging on the wooden door became more fierce. It was not a knock, but an attempt to break down the door.

"I'm coming!"

Qin Niu hid a knife similar to a dagger in his sleeve and held the hatchet used to kill the old wolf in his hand before going over to open the door.

"Damn it, open the door slowly, what are you talking about?"

The man who came was cursing and had a tall build, with a round waist and thick arms.

He has a thick beard on his face.

A pair of yellow eyes shot out with fierce light, and the whole person was very violent.

This man is Haikun, the famous bully king in the village.

He is arrogant, ferocious, and very cruel. He will fight with fists and kicks if he disagrees with him. Usually when collecting taxes and grains, the grain officials always ask this person to come forward.

If anyone dares to refuse to cooperate, he will dare to commit murder and hurt others.

The villagers are afraid of him.

I heard that a brother works in the Black Tiger Gang, so I can’t believe it.

Because Wang Haikun knows a set of boxing skills, although he is not very good at practicing it, it is more than enough to control ordinary people in a village.

"Qin Niu, I heard that you picked up a wolf carcass in the mountains. Where did you put it?"

Not even a simple courtesy, go straight to the point.

This is robbery.

Whoever has a strong fist can bully others.

"Wow, what a big wolf skin!"

Wang Haikun saw the nailed wolf skin at a glance.

To peel off the rawhide, you need to nail it to a wooden board and stretch it as much as possible. Otherwise, if the leather is not made well, the price will be greatly reduced.

"You melon boy, you are so lucky! Mr. Kun has been wanting to eat game lately, but he hasn't been able to catch it. I heard that wolf meat is a great supplement, so bring it all! If anything happens in the future, Mr. Kun will protect you and ensure that no one in the village dares to eat it. bully you."

Wang Haikun had already taken off the wolf skin without any courtesy and held it in his hand.

"Master Kun, this wolf skin is my tribute to you. The wolf meat is a bit spoiled and a bit dirty by me. If I pick up new game in the future, I will give it to you again."

Qin Niu clenched the hatchet in his right hand, thinking about his chances of winning.

It's a pity that he has only just mastered the slashing martial arts. If he can reach a higher level, his chances of winning will be much greater.

However, Wang Haikun's brother worked in the Black Tiger Gang and actually killed someone, causing endless troubles.

Although I am reluctant to part with this wolf skin, I can accept it if it can quell a disaster.

Qin Niu has the planting skills and the queen ant, and he will turn over sooner or later.

When the time comes, the capital will be recovered with interest.

Try to be patient at this moment.

"Damn it, you idiot has wasted so much wolf meat. That's all, I'll treat that wolf meat as a reward from Master Kun. From now on, you'll deliver the game to my house as soon as you pick it up, remember?"

When Wang Haikun saw the wolf meat soaked in a basin of black water, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​grabbing the wolf meat.

And he could also see that Qin Niu had been holding the hatchet in his hand, appearing obedient, but if he really pushed him, he would definitely fight to the death.

There is no need for a bowl of unappetizing wolf meat.

The most valuable thing on a wolf is the wolf skin.

"I'll keep it in mind! Master Kun, please walk slowly!"

Qin Niu patted his heart.

He had already kept this grudge in his heart, and was waiting for the day when he was strong enough to tell Wang Haikun to kneel down and spit it out.

Now that we are weak, we can only obey superficially.

"Hehe, you're a sensible kid. Damn it, it's a pity that the pot of wolf meat is so cheap. I haven't eaten anything like this for a long time."

Wang Haikun took the wolf skin and left cursing.

There were too many people in the village who were bullied by him. He heard that there was a coward who had a pretty pretty wife, and he fell in love with her, so he held her down in the house right in front of the coward.

The government here is the Black Tiger Gang, so even if you file a complaint, it will be of no use.

Because Wang Haikun's brother works in the Black Tiger Gang.

However, this person is not without any sense in doing things. He will not mess with wealthy people like Wang Furen who have some reputation and connections.

When Mr. Wang met Wang Haikun, he was usually polite and occasionally gave some 'tips' to maintain their 'friendship'.

Qin Niu sent this plague god away and closed the door, his eyes full of murderous intent.

For him, keeping the wolf meat is the most important thing.

Because it can help him quickly improve his cultivation.

Ordinary meat has no such effect at all.

If he wanted to keep the wolf skin together, there were only two possibilities in the end, either he was injured by Wang Haikun and then took the wolf skin away. Either he killed Wang Haikun and was wanted by the government.

Neither outcome was something he was willing to accept.

Taking the initiative to give away the wolf skin became a wise move.

And with the 'love' of this wolfskin, Wang Haikun might take care of it the next time he collects taxes and grains.
