Chapter 170 Returning to the Danger Zone is Big Business (3)

Ye Na took out the turnover boxes that she used to store meat. Inside were boxes of pure meat that had been disassembled. It was bright red in color and slightly sticky. It looked like fresh meat that had just been slaughtered a few hours ago.

“Is this from a cow?”

"More than that, it looks like there are two large cows packed in here." Yenne shrugged, "They are too big, it's tiring to dismantle them."

"Do you keep the cowhide?"

"I kept it, but I never washed it."

"It's okay, it's okay, take it out and have a look."

Ye Nai threw three bloody cowhides on the ground, two large and one small.

"Oh~ Is this the calf we ate all along the way?"

"Yes, veal is more tender."

"This cowhide is so thick, even thicker than the hide of a cloven-toed bison."

"Yes, this calfskin is thicker."

"Wow, are Perissodactyls better quality?"

"I don't know. After all, it's a cow. As long as we can eat it and use it, that's fine."

"Yes, yes, let's go to the cold storage and ask them to give us a good price."

Ye Na put away her things, and the three teams led her to the cold storage in a mighty manner, not for anything else but to watch the fun.

The cold storage manager breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they were here to pick a fight.

When Ye Na walked into the cold storage and released a large number of prey on the ground, the administrator was so surprised that he choked on the breath in his throat and started coughing.

"Wow, you went to the secret realm to purchase goods?!"

"Do you want it?"

"Of course!"

The administrator had seen too much exotic animal meat being delivered, and after taking a closer look, he discovered something wrong.

"I've never seen these strange beasts before. Are they new species?"

The administrator pointed at the intact exotic beast on the ground and asked, "That was left there by Ye Na on purpose. If it was pure meat, it would have to be tested before being put into storage, which would be too time-consuming. It would be better to just give it to him as a whole to save trouble."

"Well, this trip took two months."

"Wow, you really went to buy some goods."

The team looked at the giant odd-toed buffalo that occupied most of the ground and were quite impressed by Yenna's skills in butchering the buffalo.

Such a big cow was cut into two large and one small, and the pure meat was removed. This butchering skill can be said to be self-taught.

"Are they all new species? Is this bison also a new species?"

"Hmm, didn't you see that? This cow has odd-toed hooves, just like a horse's hoof."

"Eh? Wow, it really is true!"

"The institute just took away four big cow feet, and I didn't give them a single piece of beef."

"Where did the cow's feet come from?" The administrator looked at the big bison on the ground. They were all intact, with not a single horn missing.

"What the beasts left behind."

"Okay~"

Because it is a new variety and complete, the cold storage of course gave a very good price.

Most of the pure beef that Ye Na had cut was put into the cold storage. The rest was bought privately by Cao Jie's three teams and the cold storage staff, who cooked and ate it themselves.

Although the soldiers in the cold storage also live in the barracks and eat in the canteen every day, that is to save trouble. In fact, they have the conditions to cook their own meals and it is completely no problem to make some stir-fried dishes and drink some wine.

Ye Nai also sent a message to Brother Peng. Brother Peng couldn't sit still at home because of the boxes of fresh beef. He bought up the last two boxes and said he would come to get them right away without waiting for Ye Nai to come home to meet him.

"Anything else? Anything else? Anything else of any large size?" "Spider Legs?"

"You have legs? Wait a minute, let me put down a tarp."

A large piece of oilcloth specially used to collect spider legs was brought over. When unfolded, it was several square meters in size and had two colors, inside and outside. People could only stand in the color of the outer circle and were absolutely not allowed to step in the middle.

"Come on, put your legs on the color inside. It's clean inside and is carefully cleaned after each use, so it's strictly forbidden to step on it casually."

Of course Yenna understood that after the spider's legs were cut off, the flesh inside the severed end would be exposed, so it would be simply wrapped to prevent it from getting dusty.

She cut so many legs in order to sell them, and of course according to the rules, each section was wrapped in oil paper. When she said that they were all released, she threw out a small mountain of legs.

The hill was divided into three piles.

The smallest of the bunch, you can feel the full energy as soon as you take it out.

"Wow, this is the female spider leg before laying eggs!"

"There are still so many?"

Everyone in the cold storage laughed and hurriedly guarded the plump legs, fearing that some captain would ask for another one.

"That's all. I entered the secret realm late, so I only caught a few that hadn't laid eggs. But the leg meat is delicious. As soon as I tasted it, I knew it was the meat of a female spider that laid eggs for the first time this year. Experienced female spiders would have laid eggs long ago, so there was no chance for me to get them."

The captain and team members standing beside the oilcloth licked their lips silently as they ate along the way.

When everyone in the cold storage heard this, regardless of the quality of the meat, it was worth putting into the small kitchen warehouse to be used for cooking small meals, sick meals, or exchanged with other units, etc.

"The one with the most legs is the male spider?" The cold storage manager walked quickly to Ye Nai's side.

"Correct."

"What about the one at the very edge?"

"The legs of a female spider that has laid eggs have less energy and the meat is a bit shriveled. I think it's more suitable for ordinary people who are just starting to try exotic animal meat. It won't be that irritating to the body."

"Okay, then we'll take these two piles."

Yenna retracted her shriveled legs.

When we say it's shriveled, we mean that at least one-third of the leg is empty, the meat is loose and not firm, and after steaming, it tastes slightly dry and woody.

The awakened ones look down on it, but it is still okay for ordinary people. It can be considered a kind of "affordable" exotic beast meat. One pound of pure meat costs about one hundred or eighty yuan, which is enough for a family to eat for several meals.

If it is a male spider leg, the price will be based on the quality of the meat, and a whole ordinary grade one will start at 30,000.

Before laying eggs, the female spider's legs jump directly to 100,000 each.

No kidding, big spiders are so hard to fight.

Anyone who has seen it knows how ferocious a female spider is before laying eggs.

The market price of a whole leg is so expensive, and it would be even more expensive if it is cut into pieces and sold individually. Ordinary families really can't afford it, so shriveled legs become a substitute.

Of course the profit for hunters who kill this kind of female spider is not good. They will either make a small loss or break even. The leg meat cannot be sold for money, so they have to make up for it by selling the venom glands, spider silk glands and shells. The purchase price of these things is stable, so overall it is good enough if they can break even.

Male spiders can generate guaranteed profits regardless of drought or flood, so hunters all love male spiders.

After confirming that that was all Spider Legs had, Ye Nai created a new transaction for Spider Legs. The administrator made the payment, and the system automatically deducted the tax. The remaining money would be credited to the account two minutes after receiving the tax deduction reminder.

"Oh, by the way, the legs are here, where's the body?"

"The cold storage also accepts spider bodies?"

"Still with you?"

"Yes."

"Take it out and let me see. If the quantity is large, I will call the research institute for you."

The next second, everyone’s eyes went dark.

On the oilcloth where the legs were piled, there was a mountain of big spider bodies. From the patterns on the shells, it could be seen that they belonged to different species of spiders. The common point was that they were all big and the legs were of the species whose meat was edible.
