Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Official uniforms can only be worn by officials. It is a crime for ordinary people to wear them. They are of the same nature as ordinary people wearing police uniforms in modern times.

If he is discovered, he will be taken to the government and punished.

Official uniforms are usually divided into two forms, one is regular uniforms and the other is auspicious uniforms.

Regular clothes are also called public clothes and plain clothes, and are worn in offices or other ordinary occasions.

Jifu is worn on festive occasions, such as sacrifices, ceremonial celebrations, marriages, birthdays, and welcoming the decrees of the Immortal Sect.

This official is wearing a black fold-neck official uniform, which is lower in rank than the round-neck official uniform.

It is similar to a gown.

Scholars, quasi-insect masters, quasi-animal trainers, including middle-level farmers who have passed the examination can wear long gowns.

In terms of grade, official uniforms with folded collars are lower than those with round collars.

Even officials with no rank would wear round-collared robes instead of folded lapel official uniforms.

Because one section is broken, the image is not perfect and has defects.

Only officials whose status is higher than ordinary people and lower than officials will wear this kind of fake official uniform.

Look at the hat this person is wearing. It is a black cloth crown, also called an official scarf. It is a soft hat specially used for officials. It has a flat top with the forehead exposed, a fold in the middle, and a pair of black gauze hat wings on the back.

This is the lowest level of official hat.

It shows that this person is just a official, not an official.

Officials are the group of people who serve as assistants to officials in the government and are the main force in work.

All kinds of accounting and execution of government orders are completed by officials.

A small official was not qualified to be accompanied by a direct descendant of the Yan family.

Now we have to talk about the red robe this person is wearing.

Wearing a red robe is equivalent to a kind of honor, showing that he is much more noble than ordinary petty officials. It is equivalent to being an outstanding person among the petty officials.

If Qin Niu guessed correctly, this person should be the leader among the minor officials.

His status is lower than that of a classic official, but higher than that of an ordinary official.

It was precisely because he was the head of a petty official that the Yan family sent a direct descendant and a middle-level manager to accompany him.

To demonstrate the importance and enthusiasm for this person.

It's right to think about it, how could an ordinary petty official own a black horse worth a thousand taels of silver?

Only the best among the petty officials can have such strong financial resources.

Many officials have their own families and industries behind them. Otherwise, just giving their bosses gifts and doing favors during holidays would not be enough with their dead wages.

Listen, this is Secretary Liu, who is in charge of grain and taxation. This time there were floods in many places under the jurisdiction of the Black Tiger Clan. Master Liu sympathized with the people and came down to inspect the damage.

The middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper from the Yan family shouted loudly and introduced the official's identity.

Greetings to Mr. Liu!

The common people were afraid of officials. When they heard that this man was a powerful clerk in the government, they couldn't help but be even more in awe.

No gift!

Secretary Liu raised his right hand and glanced at everyone.

The floods have not affected Shuangfeng Village. You should be very lucky! Many places have been hit by floods this year, and insect pests are raging. If you cultivate your land well, you will be able to survive this disaster year safely.

After saying that, Liu Shuban took off the horse's rope, turned over and jumped onto the black horse.

His movements were light and agile, showing off his impressive skills.

咴咴~!

The Wuzui horse screamed happily.

Ang~!

Qin Niu's calf seemed to have no fear in the face of such a horse, and even stretched its neck to make a cry.

Secretary Liu glanced at Mavericks, with a strange look in his eyes, and then looked at Qin Niu.

Is this calf yours?

be mine.

I'll give you ten taels of silver, can you sell it?

The price given by Secretary Liu was extremely shocking. A dead calf only cost about three taels of silver. Just give ten taels and add another two or three taels, which is enough to buy an adult buffalo.

Thank you for your love, sir. I will keep this cow for farming and will not sell it.

Qin Niu politely refused.

You young man, you don't know how to praise me. Master Liu has taken a fancy to your cow. It's because your ancestral graves are smoking. Ten taels of silver is enough for you to buy three of these calves. The middle-aged man from the Yan family The steward scolded him coldly.

Aniu, this is a rare opportunity, sell it!

Other villagers also felt that Qin Niu was a bit stupid.

Secretary Liu saw that Qin Niu was unmoved and immediately waved his hand.

That's all, it's just an ordinary calf. It doesn't matter if you don't want to sell it! Don't force Manager Pang on him, otherwise people will think that I bought and sold people's livestock by force.

After speaking, Secretary Liu nodded to the Yan family.

Thank you for the hospitality. Thank you Yan Weng for me.

The Yan Weng he mentioned should be Yan Ruhai.

Although he has no official position, his status is no lower than that of ordinary officials. He is the real overlord of Yuxi Town.

Wang Youquan, on the fifteenth day of this month, you can take your daughter to Yichun Garden in Black Tiger City. Mr. Lu will come to the garden to appreciate the flowers. If you like your daughter, not only will your daughter be able to live a life of food and clothing, but also You will also be honored with status.”

Wang Youquan is the name of a wealthy man named Wang.

Thank you, Lord Liu, for the tip! If my little girl can be chosen by Mr. Lu, I will never forget Lord Liu's kindness.

Rich Wang looked excited and bowed to express his thanks.

It seems that he is determined to let his daughter fly up a branch and become a phoenix.

Haha, you're welcome! See you soon!

Secretary Liu's attitude towards Mr. Wang was quite peaceful.

She probably also thought that after Wang Fu gave birth to a beautiful daughter, she would marry Mr. Lu and her status would immediately rise.

Who knows, there will still be time to ask for Mr. Wang.

These officials have exquisite minds, and they are all people who exploit every opportunity to gain nothing.

After Qin Niu heard this, he lamented in his heart, what a good girl, but she may not be happy even if she marries a powerful son.

It would be fine if Mr. Lu loved her, but if he just treated her as a plaything and threw her aside after being fresh for a while, then her fate would be a bit tragic.

There is no shortage of women for powerful men.

And in their eyes, changing women is as casual as changing clothes.

If you see someone who is beautiful and has a good figure, you can accept it if you want.

When you get tired of playing with it, throw it in the backyard and keep it, or maybe even give it away.

Liu Shuban's legs were slightly tucked into the horse's belly, and the black-coloured horse leaped with its four hooves, turning into a puff of smoke and disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

The Yan family members also rode away quickly.

It's just that the two bay-red horses ridden by the Yan family are more than a little inferior to the Wuzui horses.

Although it is very fast when running, it is more than twice as slow as the Wuzhen horse.

The momentum is even more incomparable.

When the Wuzui horses are running, they are like thousands of troops charging, with momentum like a rainbow.

Qin Niu took the calf into the mountain and continued to drag the felled bin tree back.

Liu Shuban was able to buy this calf for ten taels of silver, which meant that there must be something extraordinary about it.

Along the way, he secretly looked at the calf.

I didn't see anything unusual about it.

Moreover, the hair on its body is much sparser than that of other cows, so it is not considered to be of high quality.

Perhaps what I like is the performance of his uncompromising authority when facing the Wuzui horse!

Because he is not an animal trainer and does not understand the knowledge and skills of animal control, he cannot see what is good about Mavericks. When he earns enough two taels of silver and buys a low-level contract talisman, he can take it as a pet and check its attributes.

As for Secretary Liu's statement that the calf was just an ordinary calf, Qin Niu naturally didn't believe it.

After one person and one cow entered the mountain, he lowered his head and looked around for suspicious insect traces.

If you want to make money quickly, hunting and catching bugs to sell are both good ways.

When hunting, he can only passively wait for the prey to come to him.

They neither know how to track the traces of beasts, nor do they know which types of beasts are found in which places.

He doesn't know how to set bait, arrange traps, or nooses.

To put it funny, it all depends on God’s reward.

He is also good at catching insects.

While looking down, he stopped in front of a very tall elm tree.

Because he found that there were shed insect shells on the trunk of this elm tree.

After careful identification, it was found to be the shell of a cicada.

The cicada is a very special insect. It is well-known for its loud cry and its body that can be used as medicine.

It is indispensable in the treatment of measles, rubella and other diseases.

Now that we are entering summer, it is a good time for them to climb trees and prepare to emerge from their pupae.

A cicada goes through multiple stages in its life: egg, larvae, pupa, and adult.

They enter the pupal stage, climb up trees, and then struggle to emerge from the pupal shell to complete their final emergence. Once they have wings, they can fly far away, leaving only an empty shell in place.

This is also the origin of the golden cicada's escape from its shell.

Qin Niu was not interested in these ordinary golden cicadas, and they could not be sold for much per pound.

At most thirty or fifty cents is enough.

What he wanted to find was a special golden cicada that could be sold for more than one tael of silver.

The insect identification skill is currently at the proficiency level and will soon be promoted to the next level.

Since there are so many empty shells on the tree, it means there must be cicada pupae under the tree.

He began to dig under the tree for cicada pupae that had not yet been unearthed.

I'm lucky, I have the skill of identifying insect traces, so I can basically dig it accurately.

After the cicada pupae were dug out, they crawled around in panic, trying to escape.

Qin Niu began to evaluate the value of these cicada pupae one by one.

Cicadas usually shed their shells at night, because after they emerge from the pupa, their bodies will be very weak, their wings will be curled up, and their bodies will be very soft. When encountering enemies at this time, it cannot escape.

Emerging from the soil late at night and climbing up trees, it is quiet, cool, and windy at night, which is the ideal environment for them to emerge.

This large elm tree, as thick as a person's arms, has at least hundreds of golden cicada shells on its body.

They still look very fresh, probably left over from shelling in the past two nights.

Qin Niu felt that the area around this elm tree was one of their nests.

Every time he digs out a cicada, he will identify it based on the shell of the cicada pupa, whether it is female or male, whether it is strong and healthy, etc.

This cicada pupa has a long body and a pointed tail. It must be a male cicada!

Insect identification proficiency +0.01.

The body of this cicada pupa is very short and round, and its tail is oval. It must be a female cicada.

Insect identification proficiency +0.01.

In addition to identifying the male and female cicadas, he also observes the shape and strength of their second abdominal segments.

Female cicadas cannot chirp, only male cicadas can chirp.

When others pay high prices to buy cicadas, they usually choose male cicadas with unique chirping sounds.

As Qin Niu continued to identify cicada pupae one by one, his insect identification skills were also increasing.

[Congratulations on improving your insect identification skill proficiency to a slight success! It can identify the sex, age, health status, approximate life expectancy, reproductive ability of insect creatures, and there is a certain probability of discovering their special abilities. 】

At the proficiency level, you can determine the health and strength of the bugs.

After being promoted to a moderate level of success, you can already predict the lifespan of bugs, identify their reproductive capabilities, and even discover their special abilities.

Sure enough, every time you advance to a level of skill proficiency, there will be new gains and new scenery.

The insect's lifespan and special abilities are key factors in determining its value.

He is now capable of entering a shop that sells bugs as a junior appraiser.

The annual income should be at least 12 taels of silver.

Life is easy and status is quite high.

I don’t know how many times better than being an ordinary farmer.

How much money can I make as an appraiser? My insect control skills are not limited to this. I can catch insects myself and sell them. This gives me more freedom and higher income.

Qin Niu looked down upon the job of an insect appraiser for 12 taels of silver.

He was excited to re-identify the dug cicada pupae again, hoping to gain something.
