Master of Exotic Planting Chapter 230: Vicious Shennong Pavilion

The old man hesitated for a moment, and waved to the young man behind him, "Get some fertilizer to increase production!"

For the tribute tea to the emperor, every procedure has strict regulations.

It is even possible that even the seedlings will be strictly checked. As for the fertilizers applied, the formulas were carefully researched by Shennong of the Imperial Palace and then provided to local tea farmers for application. It is strictly forbidden to use other fertilizers.

In order to make more money, these tea farmers use illegally purchased fertilizers to increase production. They acted very cautiously and naturally would not store those fertilizers in the spiritual field.

It is also done secretly when it is usually applied.

Most often choose to mix it in the formal fertilizer provided by the palace at night or mix it with it.

Not long after, the young ghost Chong Chong came back like a thief. She carried a handful of fertilizers in her arms.

After Zhang Xiaofan took it, check it carefully.

These fertilizers have been ground into black powder, and the specific ingredients are not visible at all.

There is a faint scent, very light, but it can still be smelled

"How long have you used this yield-increasing fertilizer?"

"It's been several years. Is it because Master Zhang suspects that it is the fertilizer problem?" The old man is not stupid, he has already begun to think about the problem of the tribute tea

Tea farmers are definitely not poisoned.

No matter how great the temptation of profit is, no one would do such a stupid thing.

There is only one possibility, they are being used secretly.

I helped the ill-intentioned villain to do things to punish the Nine Clan, but still didn't know it. This is really being sold, and it is still helping to collect money.

"If there is a problem with fertilizer, you will know at a glance! If you don't want to be wiped out of the Nine Clan, it is best to keep your mouth shut and not spread it. Because the poisoner in the dark will definitely find a way to wipe out the evidence after he knows that things are revealed. Then let you be the scapegoat."

Zhang Xiaofan reminded these tea farmers and began to concentrate on research.

First, I took some fertilizers for increasing yield, applied them around the roots of the newly planted tea seedlings, and then watered them.

The rest is to wait patiently.

Only two hours later, a magical scene appeared.

The two tea seedlings applied with fertilizer for increasing yield all sprouted buds one by one. Those shoots that have grown are bigger. Their leaves are thick, wide and long, and their appearance is excellent.

Such a terrifying growth rate is simply unheard of.

Only Zhang Xiaofan’s superpowers can do it.

The effect of increasing the yield of fertilizer is so magical, no wonder the tea farmers have to use it secretly at the risk of imprisonment. It can indeed increase a lot of income.

Furthermore, the tribute tea, which has been used to increase the yield of fertilizer, has an excellent appearance. For tribute tea that has not been used to increase the yield of fertilizer, at most 10% of the 10% can be compared with it. When purchasing tribute tea, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will give priority to those teas that are of good quality.

In this way, the tea farmers who do not use fertilizers will be in a worse situation.

In order to make a living, all tea farmers secretly use fertilizer to increase yield.

"Look to see if it is highly toxic?" Zhang Xiaofan used his super power to check two tea seedlings that had been applied with fertilizer to increase yield.

[Name: Dahongpao, first-order common grass. 】

[Age: 1 year old. 】

[Vitality: 96. 】

[Attributes: refreshing and refreshing, cooling blood and detoxification. 】

"It's not poisonous!"

Zhang Xiaofan was a little disappointed.

"It's not right, its vitality has dropped by four points. And both plants are like this. Those tea seedlings that have not been used to increase fertilizer, their vitality is still at full value."

After careful consideration, Zhang Xiaofan decided that these fertilizers must be problematic.

What's more, the character displayed by Shennong Pavilion has always been poor.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaofan remembered what Mr. Shang Min had said.

There are some poisons, highly toxic to humans, but non-toxic to plants.

Is it because they grow on the tree and are still alive, so they show no toxicity?

This possibility is relatively high.

Zhang Xiaofan immediately put on the deerskin gloves and carefully picked some buds. Then look at the properties of these tea leaves.

Still non-toxic.

"Is it because the time is too short? Or other reasons?"

Anyway, he believes that the fertilizers sold by Shennongge have problems. There must be some negligence.

Because of the life and death of countless people in Hongpao Township, the old man and a group of tea farmers accompanied him all the way.

They are always ready to be dispatched by Zhang Xiaofan.

At this moment, I saw Zhang Xiaofan picking the tea leaves, and then frowned. The old man couldn’t help but ask, "Master Zhang, are you preparing to make tea? We make tea on weekdays, and we have to wash, fumigate, cool and dry the tea. Rubbing, stir-frying... There are 23 crafts in total. The freshly picked raw tea is not considered to be drinking."

One word awakens the dreamer.

Zhang Xiaofan does not understand the tea-making process.

But when he heard the old man's words, a flash of light flashed in his mind.

Will it happen that a certain procedure in the tea-making process stimulates the toxicity contained in tea?

"Old man, you immediately take these pieces of tea to make tea. Maybe, the problem lies in it." Zhang Xiaofan said excitedly.

The old man looked at the pot that Zhang Xiaofan handed over, wondering, "It's just a dozen tea leaves, how can we make tea? We usually make tea, let alone hundreds of kilograms of tea together."

Zhang Xiaofan doesn't care about this.

In order to detect the problem in the shortest time, more than a dozen tea leaves have to be made.

"I can tell you, not only do you want to find a way to make them into tea, you have to follow each original process. There must be no sloppy." Zhang Xiaofan's expression is very serious.

The old man sighed, shook his head, and reluctantly agreed.

He always felt that Master Zhang was too young and unreliable. It's always weird to act.

A dozen tea leaves go through a tea-making process. Isn’t it a joke to spread it?

Zhang Xiaofan personally followed the old man to the tea workshop.

The first step is cleaning, using mountain spring water. This will not be a problem.

The second process is fumigation. In order to ensure that the tea aroma is more intense, some expensive materials will be added to the following soup during the fumigation process.

"Stop, stop, it's okay! I have found the problem."

Zhang Xiaofan shouted to stop excitedly.

Because he discovered that during the fumigation process, the originally non-toxic tea gradually turned into highly toxic tea.

It is now 100% sure that these tea leaves will only show toxicity after being fumigated.

Explain that the poisoner is extremely proficient in the tea-making process.

In order to verify that his guess was correct, Zhang Xiaofan picked some tea leaves that were no problem. Let the elderly follow the same steps as above to clean and fumigate. The same pot is used to fumigate the soup.

This time, it's non-toxic.

The facts have become clear that there is absolutely a problem with those fertilizers that increase production.

Very toxic, it only appeared after the fertilizer was applied to increase the yield. Moreover, it must undergo fumigation and react with certain chemical components in the fumigation mist, and finally it will show toxicity.

"What ingredients are in your fumigated soup?" Zhang Xiaofan asked.

"This...it is true that the fumigated soup belongs to the secret recipe handed down from our ancestors in Hongpao Township, and we generally won't tell outsiders." The old man said with embarrassment.

"Okay, then you can hold it tightly, and wait until the day when the Jiu Clan is killed, it is best to bring it into the soil together."

Zhang Xiaofan walked outside with a sneer.

He worked so hard here to find out how the tribute tea was poisoned? The ultimate goal is to save these tea farmers in Hongpao Township.

As a result, kindness turned into a donkey liver and lungs. These people were not grateful at all, and they didn't accept him.

Not even telling him the recipe for the fumigation soup.

Is this anti-thief?

Zhang Xiaofan can sell a lot of money by just cultivating a few plants of spiritual grass. Worry-free for life.

Is it necessary to surrender your identity and learn other people's tea-making craftsmanship? Isn't this funny?

"Master Zhang, Master Zhang, don't be angry, I said, I said..." The old man fought between heaven and man, gritting his teeth, and finally decided to tell Zhang Xiaofan the formula of the fumigation soup.

After getting the formula of the fumigation soup, Zhang Xiaofan checked each formula material.

"There is nothing wrong with the other ingredients, but the alum in it is likely to be the culprit." After investigation one by one, Zhang Xiaofan finally determined that the alum in the fumigation soup was the culprit.

After all, it is just his conjecture. To get the most accurate answer, you must go through many trials.

I immediately picked a few more problematic tea leaves, and then removed the alum from the fumigation soup. Perform fumigation again.

Facts have proved that Zhang Xiaofan has a very high talent in this regard.

His judgment is extremely accurate.

After removing the alum, after a full half an hour of fumigation, the tea leaves in question remained normal. No toxicity appears.

"What kind of poison is it? After it is combined with alum, it will show its toxicity?"

Zhang Xiaofan thought about it for a while, but nothing was gained.

He decided to go back to Yuanwu Academy and ask Mr. Shang Min for advice. After all, Zhang Xiaofan's knowledge of pharmaceuticals is relatively weak.

Ms. Shang Min specializes in teaching this knowledge, and he might know it.

Zhang Xiaofan brought some problematic tea leaves, as well as the fertilizer for increasing yield, and even dug a tea seedling that had been applied with fertilizer for increasing yield and transplanted it into a flower pot. With these things, hurried to Yuanwu Academy.

……

Every teacher in the college has an office of his own.

Zhang Xiaofan, who is a little worried, is standing outside Ms. Shang Min's office at the moment. He raised his hand to knock on the door, hesitated again, and finally put it down.

But when I think of doing this myself, I can find the real culprit and save thousands of lives in Hongpao Township.

He gritted his teeth and raised his hand again.

I just didn't hit it for a long time.

Faced with the cold and serious teacher Shang Min, he was too late to make up his mind.

"What are you doing? Am I that scary?" A cold voice sounded not far behind. I saw teacher Shang Min who was holding the slips, and didn't know when he appeared behind him.

Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help being embarrassed.

What a shame.

All the timidity and hesitation just now were seen by Teacher Shang Min.

I thought Ms. Shang Min was in the office. Who would have thought that she was not there at all. This time I was embarrassed.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaofan's face is thick enough to resist it.

"Teacher Shang, I have a question and want to ask you. I don't know if it is convenient for you now?" Zhang Xiaofan can feel it, and Teacher Shang Min seems to be laughing.

She must be making fun of me.

"Come in!"

Ms. Shang Min opened the door and walked in first.

Zhang Xiaofan followed into the office.

"Tell me, what question do you want to ask me?" Teacher Shang Min stared at him.

The student with this problem, who has never taken her class seriously on weekdays, now actively asks her for advice. Could the sun come out from the west?

"Teacher, look at this tea seedling and these fertilizers." Zhang Xiaofan put them on the desk. "These fertilizers can make tea seedlings grow quickly and increase the yield of tea..."

He briefly stated the cause and effect.

"What kind of poison do you mean, after combining with alum, it will appear highly poisonous?"

Ms. Shang Min couldn't help thinking of the strange question Zhang Xiaofan asked her yesterday. Now thinking of these tea leaves, she faintly realized that Zhang Xiaofan seemed to be doing something business.

"When combined with alum, the toxicity will appear. The poison itself is not much. Alum has a bitter and astringent taste and is one of the commonly used materials for fumigating tea. It has a strong astringent effect. It can improve the fragrance of tea It is well preserved inside the tea. It will escape only after brewing with boiling water."

"Sit down first, and the teacher has to check the information to be sure."

Ms. Shang Min’s office has many self-made instruments and tools.

It looks like a small laboratory.

Zhang Xiaofan sat at the desk and waited patiently.

I saw Ms. Shang Min on the bookshelf, constantly flipping through some medicinal scriptures and classics.

When she found some useful knowledge, she would run back to the desk excitedly to study the tea and fertilizer.

After more than an hour, Zhang Xiaofan was about to wait until he fell asleep. Teacher Shang Min suddenly exclaimed with excitement, "Found it!" She was holding a roll of bamboo slips in her hand.

Zhang Xiaofan was also refreshed.

"If you guessed correctly, these fertilizers are mixed with a poison called aconitum. But the poisoner is very clever. He puts the aconitum through a series of treatments, then puts the aconitum in water to boil it, and These fertilizers are mixed and dried. In this way, their toxicity can be greatly reduced. At the same time, the aconitum can be combined with the alkali in the tea tree. It is hidden inside, even if the silver needles, blood clotting and drug testing are conventional methods, all Can't be detected."

After listening to Mr. Shang Min's analysis, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly became enlightened.

All mysteries have been solved.

It is now 100% sure that it is the poison of Your Excellency Shennong.

The problem lies in the fertilizer.

Also, the sudden lack of new shoots of those tea plants should be related to the growth of fertilizer itself.

This fertilizer has a strong negative effect.

It is equivalent to squeezing out the potential of tea plants in advance. It could only produce so much tea in two years~IndoMTL.com~ As a result, after using it, it can produce two years of production in one year. Naturally, the vitality of tea trees will be overdrawn in advance.

A few years later, those tea plants entered the senescence stage early and could no longer grow new shoots.

The short-sighted behavior of tea farmers is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.

In the past few years, using fertilizer to increase production, although I have made money, I have also overdrawn all the profits in advance. The next few years will never get a penny again.

This Shennong Pavilion is really too black-hearted.

The development of this problematic fertilizer has made tea farmers' money, regardless of whether the tea farmers live or die.

"Teacher Shang, thank you! When things are done, I will thank you again!" Zhang Xiaofan thanked Teacher Shang and left excitedly.

What we need to do now is to fix the evidence, and then bring Shennong Pavilion to justice.

He himself can also make a great contribution.
