Chapter 32: The Salt of the Cave
It took Su Ze half a day to transport those petrified lizard corpses and fairy mushrooms back to Earth. Originally, there were 12 lizards in this group, 9 large and 3 small. Two of the big ones were gnawed by the dragons, and two of them were taken away, and two of the remaining ones were poisoned to death.
As a result, a total of 6 complete lizard corpses of 3 large and 3 small were obtained, and 6 complete lizard skins were obtained.
That includes the biggest leader. Probably because the flying dragons thought that this guy was too big to take away, so they didn't move, and as a result, Su Ze, who was playing soy sauce next to him, was cheaper.
The juvenile weight of these lizards ranges from 50 to 200 kilograms, with the average adult weighing around 800 kilograms, with the largest leader lizard weighing more than 2 tons. Su Xue had to be at the scene, first peeling and breaking them into several large pieces, and then went back to find a trailer, and then with the assistance of three dogs, he got the lizards back.
Next, Su Ze played the role of "strange uncle picking mushrooms", he collected in front, and the dogs pulled the trailer to follow behind as a transport team. It took two days to transport most of the mushrooms back. In order to prevent the cultivation from failing, he specially left about an acre of immortal mushrooms untouched.
Take it back and go through the scales, this time it was a full 5,230 kilograms of fairy mushrooms, and the 6 petrified lizards provided about 2,000 kilograms of lean meat, 600 kilograms of fat, and the internal organs and bones were not counted.
This time, Su Xue earned a vote, and the price of shiitake mushrooms is not easy to estimate, but the price of petrified lizard meat can refer to crocodile meat. At present, the wholesale price of crocodile meat with bones is about 100 yuan/kg, and the wholesale price of pure meat without bones is about 200 yuan/kg. In other words, just this batch of petrified lizard meat, Su Ze is equivalent to an income of 500,000 yuan.
Su Ze also planned to do the same, he planned to pass off these petrified lizard meat as crocodile meat and sell it as a dish for money. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cry and laugh a little: Damn, others engage in counterfeiting and shoddy, they are all selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, which is shoddy. Lao Tzu is upside down, playing the brand of crocodile to sell petrified lizard meat, how embarrassing!
"Hmph, go back and ask Xiao Zhang to double the price of crocodile dishes, and say that this is a high-class crocodile!Damn, even if it's a cheap sale, even if it's a big reward for tears......" Su Ze thought angrily.
You must know that the rarity of petrified lizards aside, the quality of the meat alone far exceeds the crocodile meat on the market. Of course, he has no other way at present, so if he sells it cheaply, he will sell it cheaply, anyway, it is all cheap for nothing.
But selling petrified lizards is not the most depressing thing.
After sending the meat and mushrooms to the freezer, Su Xue had to work as a dung digger. It took another two days, except for the reserve where the mushrooms were kept, and he brought back to Earth all the petrified lizard droppings he could find nearby. He went to the lair of the petrified lizard and swept away the droppings.
This batch of feces is at least 10 tons or more, and after it is finished, with the physique of a cultivator like Su Ze, he is also tired enough. There was no way around it, he was worried that the dragons would come back and have to work overtime.

【East Kitchen Residence】Office
"Xiao Zhang, I'm going to set up a mushroom plantation. Well, the place is on the farm over there in my old house, let's make some room out there. But I don't know what mushroom farming needs, you go to someone who knows how to guide me. ”
Zhang Mei was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Boss, are you growing fairy mushrooms by yourself?"
Su Ze smiled: "Yes, my friend can't guarantee the supply, so I bought the fungus from him and prepared to grow it myself." ”
Since the end of the 20th century, "local chicken", "local pig" and other "pure natural and pollution-free" foods have become popular in society, and many high-end restaurants have purchased them at high prices in the countryside, or simply set up their own farms. Su Ze's [East Kitchen Residence] is of course no exception, in order to cater to this trend, he also contracted 200 acres of land in Sujia Village, where the old house is located, and set up his own farm.
In addition to common meat and eggs such as pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and eggs, this [East Kitchen Farm] also provides some vegetables and spice crops. The breeding and planting methods here are all in accordance with the traditional way, and the feed and fertilizer are all traditional, without using any hormones and fertilizers. Of course, with the traditional way, the output will definitely not go up, so the products here are a little small, and it is not enough to supply [East Kitchen Residence] for its own use.
"Okay, boss. I'll arrange it. Xiao Zhang happily went out.
That's when the phone rang.
"Hey, is it the Sect Ancestor? Are you kidding me?" As soon as Su Ze picked up the phone, an angry voice came from inside.
Su Ze smiled: "It's Xiaoquan." What's wrong?"
The person who called was the backbone of the [Holy Dao Society], a Taoist friend with the screen name [Tianqiquan], whose real name was He Dong, but his friends liked to call him "Xiaoquan". He was the owner of a chemical plant.
He Dong said angrily: "Didn't you send a sample a few days ago and ask me to help test it?" Damn, what the hell is this......
Su Ze hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
A few days ago, he sent a rock salt sample from the Cave World to He Dong and asked him to help examine it. According to his idea, if the salt was edible, he was going to get it to be used in a restaurant. Although salt is very cheap now, in terms of the business of the restaurant, the salt consumed in a year is not a small number.
"Of course there's a problem, aren't you kidding me? You can't be in some pharmaceutical factory, picking up scrap, right? Do you know what's in there?"
Su Ze replied, "Damn, I just didn't know to look for you." This thing was brought back by my dog, and I was worried that something would go wrong with it, so I asked you to take a look. ”
"Okay, I'll email you the test results and see for yourself......"
Su Ze opened the email and saw rows of dense professional terms, which made him dizzy. In this piece of content, Su Ze was at a loss except for a few molecular formulas such as sodium chloride and calcium phosphate.
"Hey, I said Koizumi, I'm a chemical novice. How can I understand such a professional thing. Just say, can you eat this thing?"
"Of course, you can eat it! This thing can even be eaten by people, let alone dogs. ”
He Dong's anger had not subsided, and he continued to say angrily: "The main ingredient of your sample is sodium chloride, that is, table salt, with a content of 85%. This is followed by calcium carbonate, which accounts for about 12%. Then there's bivalent iron, about 1%...... Then it ****** are divalent compounds of trace elements such as magnesium, copper, zinc, and selenium. The most outrageous thing is that there are actually 7 vitamins in it. Malagobi's, they can all be sold as Gai Tianli, golden partners, brain platinum or something, if it weren't from the pharmaceutical factory, it would be strange!"
"Ah~~~ cover...... Golden partner, Gai Tianli, brain platinum ......" Su Xue is embarrassed. “...... Isn't this a natural occurrence?"
He Dong thought for a moment and replied, "Naturally generated? Theoretically, it's not impossible, but in practice it's impossible. If you want to combine these things together without mixing toxic substances, this kind of chance is probably smaller than winning the grand prize!"
"Don't worry, this thing can't eat the dead, and your dog will be fine. Probably thinking that Su Ze was a chemical novice, He Dong's anger disappeared a little.
Su Ze smiled: "Okay, thank you." It's okay I'm hanging ......."
He Dong said again: "Oh, Godfather, there is another guy named Yuan Ye who wants to join us, his screen name is [Young Master Mop], this guy is a Yanei, and his family is very powerful, I think if he joins us, it should be of some use." Let's go check it out in the evening. Okay, goodbye, I'm hanging ......"
Su Xue immediately thought about it: Young Master Mop, isn't it that rookie, fat sheep, Xiaobai, Kaizi, and wronged boss? It turned out to be a Yanei.
