Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 1454

The amount of fairy dew used to water Jianmu seedlings has increased from one drop at the beginning to the current ten drops.So that every time Zhao Lei watered Jianmu seedlings, he felt very distressed.

After all, if these ten drops of fairy dew work well, they can bring Zhao Lei amazing benefits.And now he is using it all to water a small sapling, which is simply reckless.If Han Qing hadn't said that this was the seedling of Jianmu, Zhao Lei would never have been willing to do so.

But hard work always pays off. Under Zhao Lei's investment regardless of the cost, the Jianmu seedlings grew very fast, and now five branches have grown.According to Han Qing, as long as two more branches grow, it can be transplanted to the outside world.

"It's all money..." Zhao Lei muttered to himself while pouring ten drops of fairy dew on the roots of Jianmu seedlings.

However, what Zhao Lei didn't expect was that ten drops of fairy dew had already been poured, and the leaves on a few seedlings hadn't turned golden.

"It's terrible!" Zhao Lei shook his head helplessly, and continued to water Jianmu seedlings with fairy dew.After he poured fifteen drops of fairy dew, all the veins of the leaves finally turned golden.

At the same time, a new bud grew on the small trunk of the seedling, which stretched and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon grew into a new branch.

Now Zhao Lei is very happy. Jianmu seedlings can be transplanted to the outside world as long as they grow one more branch. This investment will soon pay off.

But before that, Zhao Lei still has a lot to do.For example, continuing to refine the natal magic weapon is one of the most important things.

After merging the essence of the five Big Dipper Swords, the soul-destroying shovel is finally one step closer to being perfect.

Today, Zhao Lei has cultivated to the seventh level of the Sanqing Xinfa, and it is easier to refine the natal magic weapon than before.He skillfully extracted the essence of Tianxuan Sword, and meticulously blended it into the soul-destroying shovel.Zhao Lei had already successfully completed the tempering process without even taking the vermilion fruit leaves.

Compared with before tempering, the soul-destroying shovel has become longer, and the shovel head is bigger and sharper. In short, it looks more and more like an ordinary shovel.However, the white and crystal-clear color of the whole body still made the soul-destroying shovel reveal an extraordinary side. Anyone could tell at a glance that this was definitely not an ordinary shovel.

After a few times of tempering, Zhao Lei has gotten used to the soul-destroying shovel becoming more and more rustic, so he doesn't have much complaints.Anyway, he was a farmer in the first place, so using a shovel as a talisman is quite in line with his status.

Looking at the soul-destroying shovel in his hand, Zhao Lei did not forget to comfort himself: "Great, I can stand more stably when the imperial weapon is flying in the future, maybe I can fly lying down, I am so happy!"

The soul-destroying shovel also seemed to understand the meaning of the master, and immediately conveyed a cheerful mood to Zhao Lei, expressing that it was very satisfied with Zhao Lei's praise.

Although it took almost a whole night to refine the natal magic weapon, Zhao Lei went out to sea early the next morning on the fishing boat introduced by Shirvan.

In fact, strictly speaking, the Caspian Sea is not an ocean, but an inland saltwater lake.However, the area of ​​this lake is so large that it even forms an ocean-like ecosystem, so there is a word "sea" in the name.

For Zhao Lei, going out to sea on a fishing boat is nothing new.So although the wind and waves are a little bit strong today, I still stand leisurely on the deck of the fishing boat, and even have the mood to look at the surrounding scenery.

After leaving the pier, Zhao Lei realized that there is indeed a reason for calling this big lake the "sea".The surrounding sea and sky are the same color, and you can't see the shore at all, which is no different from being on the sea.

The fishermen on the boat are a family of three. The father took his two sons to go fishing. The livelihood of the family depends on this small boat.

However, with the deterioration of the environment and overfishing, the lives of fishermen are getting worse and worse.Although the price of caviar continues to rise, as the catch continues to decrease, their income is getting lower and lower.

Because of this, when Sylvain expressed to the captain Alyosha that he was willing to pay for them to take a passenger out to sea for a day without hindering their fishing, Alyosha agreed without hesitation.After all, it is difficult to make money now, even if you can earn a little more, it would be good.

Looking at Zhao Lei who was looking at the scenery on the deck, Alyosha and his son exchanged glances, and they all saw a hint of appreciation from each other's faces.

Today's wind and waves are not small, and it is not easy for ordinary people not to get seasick.The oriental man still had a calm demeanor, which made the three veteran fishermen admire him a little bit.

After traveling for more than two hours, the small fishing boat gradually slowed down.Alyosha's youngest son, who can speak English, came to the deck and stammered and told Zhao Lei: "This is where we are going to fish for sturgeon. It depends on our luck."

Zhao Lei nodded to express his understanding, and then asked the other party with a smile: "Want to earn some extra money?"

Everyone wants to earn extra money, so the next thing will be much easier. Zhao Lei said to Alyosha straightforwardly: "I am willing to pay a high price for the sturgeon you caught, which is twice the price of those caviar canning factories... No, triple the price!"

After listening to his son's translation, Alyosha asked Zhao Lei incredulously, "Are you kidding me?"

"Of course it's not a joke." Zhao Lei stated his position again: "As long as you send the sturgeon you catch to the shore where no one is there, I will pay immediately, and the rest has nothing to do with you. The only requirement is that All I want is a live sturgeon."

Alyosha accepted Zhao Lei's offer without much consideration. After all, it would be the same to sell the sturgeon to anyone. He could earn three times as much money from Zhao Lei, so why would he want to make those caviar factories cheaper?
As for what Zhao Lei wanted to do with these sturgeons, Alyosha and the others didn't care at all.What sturgeon can do is to make caviar at most. Zhao Lei bought a few, which will not pose any threat to the local caviar industry.

Alyosha happily took his two sons into the water with large and small fishhooks, hoping for a good harvest today, and at the same time muttered something to Zhao Lei in the local dialect.

The youngest son of the old fisherman quickly translated to Zhao Lei: "My father said that there are fewer and fewer sturgeons today, and I don't know how much I can catch today. Many times, I can't catch a fish all day. How can you Have such mental preparations!"

"Of course I understand." Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Fishermen have always depended on the sky for their food, and it is indeed very hard. You just have to work hard to catch fish. As for the harvest, don't worry at all!"

The three fishermen on the boat didn't notice that when Zhao Lei said this, he quietly poured two drops of fairy dew into the water.
