"Elizabeth will be solely responsible for this, and I will only pay for things that she approves of."
Sea Wolf said:
"This is natural."
So within ten minutes, Fang Linyan successfully purchased werewolf blood and unicorn tears.
This kind of progress really gave Fang Linyan a feeling that it was a matter of course. Taking advantage of the opportunity to be alone, he couldn't help but secretly ask Elizabeth:
"Did you go out on purpose just now? In fact, you were planning to trade with him here from the beginning, right?"
Elizabeth nodded and whispered to him:
"Yes, because if we only buy one thing, then it is just a simple business."
"However, in the list I have given now, there are as many as a dozen items that need to be purchased, because there are not only things you want, but also things I want to purchase. Some of these items are hot-selling items.
In some cases, someone made a mistake and smashed the money-losing goods in their hands."
"In addition, the things we are buying at this time are almost all top-quality and rare goods on the market. The usual trading volume is based on grams, and the price is not very low, so this order can stir up chaos.
The whole market is in turmoil.”
"It will even naturally affect the various stockpiling decisions of investors and futures traders. For example, I just inquired that the trading volume of Yeqi Hoof in the past three months was 164 grams, ranking among the unicorns.
Tears has no trading volume in a year.”
"After our order was placed, the purchase price of Yeqi Hoof, which was already at its peak price, rose again by 10%, and Unicorn Tears immediately received two more pre-orders."
Fang Linyan said:
"It is understandable that the price of Yeqi hoof armor has risen. The entry of large buyers like us shows that the bull market in its market has not passed yet. But what do the two pre-orders on the card line mean?"
Elizabeth said:
"The current market price of Unicorn Tears is 70 gold galleons per pill. These two pre-orders are equivalent to the intention to tentatively take two pills at the price of 63 gold galleons per pill, which is 10% lower than the market price.
The price is obviously a speculative order."
"The reason why such a list appears is that merchants who have caught wind of it have discovered that big buyers like us are buying into Unicorn Tears, and they are betting that there may be a new wave of market prices for this thing."
Fang Linyan suddenly said:
"I understand. If all these large transactions that can move the market flow out of Sea Wolf, then his status will change accordingly! Not to mention, you are still leaving him in the middle.
There is a certain profit margin!”
Fang Linyan then waited for another hour and unexpectedly acquired three more diamond-shaped mouthpart amoebas. After he promised to pay fifty gold galleons for each one, Sea Wolf patted his chest and said that after six o'clock tomorrow morning, at least he could give
He asked for Shi Jiao...
The poisonous purple slug also has a new look.
The importance of channels was reflected at this time. Even if Fang Linyan went to Big Ben and shouted that he would receive 200 gold galleons for one piece, he would probably be regarded as a lunatic, because no one would believe you if you could sell this.
.
But with Elizabeth as a matchmaker and the Sea Wolf channel, he directly placed an order for eighty gold galleons per item, and three people immediately came to grab it.
This was really an unexpected surprise for Fang Linyan.
The only thing that has no breakthrough is the Acromantula's black spider silk (one ounce), which is actually a very popular commodity in the market.
However, Fang Linyan contacted seven or eight related stores in succession, but none of the products they offered could meet Fang Linyan's needs. Even Elizabeth didn't know the reason for this.
After all, Fang Linyan himself couldn't tell what kind of black spider silk he wanted. In the end, he could only relent, saying that the elders of his family had handed down a secret treasure. Once he got close to the material he needed, the secret treasure would automatically heat up and change color.
It's hot, so he excused himself.
Fortunately, Sea Wolf had already made many deals with Fang Linyan and earned more than a hundred gold galleons from Fang Linyan, so he knew that he was telling the truth.
Otherwise, if someone else tells the story, Sea Wolf will simply ask his men to pull out their knives, invite this joke-loving bastard out, and give him some blood to clear his head.
one time.
Finally, Elizabeth and Fang Linyan found the answer in another store called "The Old Man and the Sea". After hearing about this, an old man said:
"The black spider silk of the extremely rare Acromantula??"
"There are only three kinds of black spider silk from Acromantula circulating on the market. As an important material for potions, this thing has been sold on the market for more than a hundred years, and there is basically nothing to develop.
variables.”
"However, I do recall a particularly rare black spider silk from the Acromantula, but this thing is not precious at all, but rather worthless."
In fact, many things are dark under the lamp, just separated by a layer of paper. After being exposed, everyone suddenly realized.
As soon as the old man started talking, Elizabeth immediately said hesitantly:
"Are you talking about the kind of patterned spider silk?"
The old man nodded, looked at Elizabeth and said:
"Under normal circumstances, the black spider silk of the Acromantula is used when making potions. The purpose is to utilize the paralyzing toxin on it."
"Because the creatures stuck to the spider silk will soon be paralyzed and lose consciousness due to contact with the toxins on the spider silk. Magic potions can also use this perfect and conflict-free paralysis effect to reduce the pain of the drinker.
."
"However, when the Acromantula starts to lose its eggs, a faint white texture will appear on the black spider silk it spits out. This is because at this time the Acromantula will enter the defense stage, and it will spit out
The properties of the spider silk have also undergone subtle changes, and are completely used to defend and blockade the nest."
"Before the Acromantula's young hatch out, the mother spider will huddle in the nest and survive entirely on the nutrients stored during previous gestations."
"Although the spider silk spun out by the Acromantula during this period was still black, it had a faint white texture on it. More importantly, the type of toxins on it also changed. Some people once sold this kind of spider silk.
However, the final potion was completely messed up and killed four people, and the matter was even reported in the Observer!"
After hearing this, Elizabeth nodded and said:
"Yes, that's what happened. I was only eleven years old at the time, so after that, there was no such patterned spider silk on the market."
"Because this thing is not profitable at all, and people will make fun of it."
The old man nodded and said:
"Yes, that's what it is."
Elizabeth pointed at Fang Linyan and said:
"But old gentleman, he comes from the far east and belongs to a large family that lives in seclusion at the foot of the Himalayas. Therefore, their family's use of these magic materials is likely to be completely different from our potion system."
"So, can you tell me where I can find this particular spider silk?"
The old man shrugged. Every store that can gain a foothold in the market has its own unique supply channel. This is its lifeline and must not be leaked.
This old man is a veteran who has been working in the market all his life. People who were contemporaries of Robbie must be very cautious in their words and deeds. He smiled slightly and said:
"I'm sorry, my old man has been dealing with magic materials for decades, and I really can't help with the channels."
Elizabeth suddenly came to her senses and felt that her words were a bit presumptuous, so she nodded, gave him a gold galleons as information fee, and then turned around and left with Fang Linyan.
In this regard, although Elizabeth has been idle for two years because of Robbie's death, she still has her own connections and it would be nice to get in touch again.
After releasing her magic pet to try to contact her old relationship, Elizabeth said:
"If the spider silk you want is really the patterned spider silk, then there will be some trouble."
Fang Linyan said:
"How do you say that?"
Elizabeth said:
"Normally, the way the hunting team obtains the black spider silk of the Acromantula is very gentle. They will drive two cows over and feed the Acromantula directly in the web."
"The full Acromantula is very lazy and will crawl back to its nest to fall asleep. Then the hunting team will take the opportunity to collect spider silk."
"However, the Acromantula that has already begun to bear its offspring is very ferocious and will not eat foreign food at all. Once it tries to collect spider silk, it will think that someone is trying to attack and will launch a crazy attack for the sake of its offspring."
"In this case, if you want to obtain this kind of spider silk, you either have to pray for good luck and encounter a situation where the Acromantula in the nest is dead, or you have to be prepared to kill the Acromantula.
Spider preparation-------This is a very dangerous thing."
Fang Linyan said:
"What is a negative child?"
Elizabeth said:
"When a female Acromantula mates with a male, she will spin silk and weave a large silk sac. Then she will lay all her eggs in the silk sac she weaves, and then hold the silk sac on her back.
, this is called the behavior of a negative child."
Fang Linyan said:
"understood."
Then he pondered for a moment and said:
"Let's do this. I'll give you a hundred gold galleons for the activity. You can work hard first and help me finalize one thing, which is to find out the specific location where this patterned spider silk is found."
"As for what to do next, whether to find someone to hunt down the Acromantula inside, or whether I do it myself, that will be decided at that time."
Elizabeth nodded and said:
"Okay, then it's settled!"
Fang Linyan said:
"OK, I'm looking forward to your good news. If you have anything to do, please contact me directly using your magic pet. I have to do something urgent now."
Elizabeth said:
"Okay, where are you going? I'll send you directly via floo powder."
Fang Linyan said:
"London city, a more prosperous place will be fine."
***
Half an hour later,
Fang Linyan had directly booked a hotel, and he emptied out all the chefs and guests.
Of course, these people all left happily, because Fang Linyan directly threw money at them.
Next, he entered the hotel's kitchen and began to take out ingredients one by one, preparing to prepare his first dark dish.
Before this, Fang Linyan had also read several cookbooks, and felt that one of the cookbooks was very correct. It said that the compatibility of Chinese medicine advocates the rule of law, ministers, and envoys. In fact, the same is true for most dishes.
First, determine the main ingredients of the dish, then the auxiliary ingredients, and finally the ingredients.
Almost all common dishes in life are like this, such as twice-cooked pork. The main ingredient is pork, the auxiliary ingredients are garlic sprouts or green peppers, and the ingredients are nothing more than salt, soy sauce, and sugar bean paste.
Of course, there are also those that use meat as an auxiliary ingredient and other ingredients as the main ingredients, such as mapo tofu, minced pork and eggplant...
There is no doubt that although Fang Linyan has a lot of materials in his hands at this time, there are only two kinds that can be used as the main ingredients:
Corpse Tai Sui and Wolf King's Lungs.
Fang Linyan thought for a while, what could be made into the corpse Tai Sui's appearance?
Tofu? Konjac? Jelly?
After thinking hard for a while, Fang Linyan decided to start with the Wolf King's Lungs.
Because from the very beginning, considering that the food he made was for himself to eat, Fang Linyan directly crossed out Cantonese cuisine and Jianghuai cuisine from the list of references!
Because these two cuisines pay attention to the original flavor and follow the light route... If Fang Linyan makes dark dishes based on them, then he is afraid that no one will eat the dark dishes he makes in the future, so he will make his own
If you don’t do it well, your life will be shortened by ten years!
Therefore, Fang Linyan thinks that the most suitable for dark dishes are Sichuan and Hunan cuisines that focus on spiciness. In addition, Northeastern cuisine, which is heavy in oil, salt and sauce, can also be considered.
Fang Linyan held the Yiya kitchen knife and pondered for a long time. Fang Linyan's palms were sweating, and then he started to operate.
The first thing that is definitely the most important thing is to try to remove the fishy smell from the ingredients. Why doesn’t Wai Guoren eat offal and fishy food?
It's because they don't go through any operations at all before deep processing of the ingredients. They don't know how to blanch, mix, cook, etc. Of course, it will definitely taste disappointing.
Because of the preservation effect of the private space, the Wolf King's lungs are still in the same state as they were just taken out.
Fang Linyan directly put the thick trachea on the faucet, then poured water into it, and then rinsed it continuously. At the same time, he used a toothpick to poke small holes in the lungs to facilitate water leakage.
This process lasts for almost an hour until the blood inside is washed away and the lungs are cleaned until they are as white as snow.
