Feng Shuo waited until the king cobra finished eating and watched it crawl away from the orchard before returning.
Feeling excited, Feng Shou 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.
Use a small piece of fruit with a sweet smell to attract ants.
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 steps.
Hold the red string on the copper coin and stay away from it for a while.
Some ants left the fruit, but many ants remained on it.
The wind stopped moving, and he continued to maintain that distance, breathing lightly.
After waiting for a while, the ants that left returned again.
Quietly, he continued 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 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 if the distance is close.
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 about the manufacturing principle of this thing, he would definitely have thought it was some supernatural factor, such as the ancestral consecration that grandma said.
If you don't know about it, you will definitely want to put it on the table and offer incense immediately!
As expected, 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 kept when not in use!
I saw the old, faded and stained red rope wrapped around the copper coin, which was particularly dazzling against the backdrop of this brand-new copper coin.
"Go buy a new red string tomorrow! Wear it around your neck when you go out!"
After returning home, Feng Zou asked his grandma for her copper coin and tried the same method with ants.
This copper coin that has been with my grandma 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 turned on 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 over 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 was 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 copper coin was blessed by her ancestors, 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, he also wanted to know if this copper coin had any other added value. Although he had not been exposed to these before, he also knew that the price of the same object was very different between those that had been illuminated and those that had not been illuminated!
On the other side of the phone, Feng Yi paused and said: "... What I sent was just wrapped with snake repellent. 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 that it was a "secret recipe handed down from his ancestors," Feng Shou apologized profusely. He really couldn't ask too much about technical matters.
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 more difficult. The amount of information material in the coating of each copper coin is not exactly the same.
When Feng Yi said this, Feng Suo became even more convinced that it was indeed a scientific process.
The smell does last for a long time, but it also dissipates and becomes lighter.
Just like his grandma's, it means 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 animals 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 the copper coin is indeed just a scientific technology and scientific method. In any case, this copper coin really makes him happy.
To express his gratitude, Feng Shou wanted to give fruit as a gift and sent 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 a few days."
Feng Shou didn't ask how many people there were in Feng Yi's family. He had learned about Feng Yi and knew that Feng Yi didn't live with Feng's family in Yangcheng.
Feng Yi's own living conditions are also very good. There should be hired chefs and bodyguards at home. Send more fruits once you send them. If you don't finish them, you can share them with other people 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, he would definitely send mainly those from the high-quality area. But because there are fewer types of fruits in the high-quality area, he will also prepare some from non-high-quality areas.
During his break, Feng Shuo would also chat with several new friends who had joined his address book.
They are some of the clansmen I met when I went to Yangcheng.
A king cobra appeared in the orchard yesterday. After he posted it on Moments, several new friends sent messages asking about it.
Among these clan members, Feng Shuo and Feng Zheng chatted the most and became 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, so he directly made a video call.
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 your home?"
"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 Shuo: "You can't compare it like that. We don't want to encounter a round-spotted viper. Some people here call it a kidney-deficient snake."
Feng Zheng: "Uh... I really don't want to meet him just because of his name."
The things Feng Shu 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. Regardless of whether it's insects or snakes, it's not something I can accept. All creatures are like
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 Shuo will not mention this to other clan members.
Asking means asking for the ancestral secret recipe that someone wants!
"It would be great if the snake venom could be completely overcome." Feng Zheng said.
"Huh? Didn't the news say before that the Ancestor Factory has developed an all-purpose antivenom? Isn't this considered a victory?" Feng Shuo said.
"Technically speaking, 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 photo of the plantation viper biting incident he saw in his circle of friends, and said:
"It's probably because the technology can't keep up and the price can't come down. The Ancestral Factory has actually done a good job in this area. They have stations in areas where there are many snakes, and they 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 Shuo first goes to the orchard for a patrol, just like a king patrolling his territory every day, to intimidate all the little ones.
And as time goes by, there may be more shocking atmosphere lingering in the orchard area, which can have a lasting effect.
Employees don't have to worry about encountering venomous snakes.
After several days of this, Feng Shuo once again confirmed that this copper coin was more effective at repelling some poisonous insects and snakes, but was relatively weaker at repelling generally harmless small animals and insects.
Just like those ants, as long as you don't get too close, it won't affect them.
But snakes are different. As long as they smell that smell, they will run away.
So, this is selective and targeted!
The specific scope of the impact is not yet known, but what is certain is that it is much larger than Feng Suo initially thought.
He didn't know how powerful the ancestor's blessing was, but he really felt the magical effect of Feng Yi's copper coin!
It is indeed an exclusive secret recipe passed down from the Feng clan!
Such an incredible 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 Shuo just wanted to think about it. After all, the secret recipe was not his, but Feng Yi's. As for how Feng Yi would treat such a secret recipe, he didn't need to worry about it.
Don't ask too many questions about the secret recipe passed down from ancestors. It would be rude to ask too much.
Hey, Feng Yi was a big help, but the fruit delivered this time was still too little and not sincere enough!
On the other side, Yangcheng.
Feng Yi received a strange call.
"Is this Mr. Feng with the mobile phone number ending at xxxx?" asked the person over there.
"who are you?"
"Hello, there is a piece of fruit sent from overseas. The address is No. xx, Cuihu Luhai... Does it belong to your home?"
"be mine."
"Is it convenient for you to sign for the delivery today? It will be delivered to your home around 3 p.m.," the person said.
"Okay." Feng Yi said.
It should be the fruit gift box that Feng Shou received. Feng Shou asked a friend to help bring it over and hired someone to deliver it specifically to ensure that there would be no other problems with the fruit during transportation.
Anyway, he has no plans to go out today.
When the call ends, the phone is thrown away.
Feng Yi sat down at the desk, his expression gradually becoming painful.
On the computer screen in front of me, in the open document, there are a few big words on the top line - "Mid-year Summary".
In the middle of the year, a report needs to be written.
He hasn't been out for the past few days, so he's been fixing this.
It’s so painful, why do you have to write this when you’re catching a snake?!
Different from every mission report, he can't be fooled yet, this is related to his promotion in the Federal Security Bureau!
Take a deep breath and continue writing the summary.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, I got a call from the property management, saying that a truck was coming to deliver the goods.
