After hearing Liu Yulian's words, Bai Susu looked at Jiang Xiaofan for help.
Jiang Xiaofan coughed twice and said, "Mom, Sister-in-law Susu was too tired and accidentally dropped the egg."
Bai Susu rolled her beautiful eyes at Jiang Xiaofan and mouthed, "If you take advantage of me again, I will tell Aunt Yulian."
Jiang Xiaofan suddenly shrank and looked at Bai Susu pitifully.
"Huh! You have a thief's heart but not your courage." Bai Susu whispered, picked up a tray of eggs and walked towards Liu Yulian.
Looking at Bai Susu's graceful back, Jiang Xiaofan couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. Recently, his living conditions have improved, and Bai Susu seems to have gained some weight.
She has become fatter where she should be fat, and she has maintained the thin areas very well. From the side, her curvy figure is fully exposed.
"Hey, why are these eggs bigger than other eggs?" Just when Jiang Xiaofan was thinking about it, Bai Susu suddenly said in surprise.
Jiang Xiaofan walked over curiously, took the egg from Bai Susu's hand, and then picked up an ordinary egg to compare, and found that the egg was a bit bigger.
"Could this be a duck egg? No!"
After saying this, Jiang Xiaofan shook his head. Duck eggs are much more expensive than chicken eggs. Only fools would use duck eggs as eggs.
"Are they caged eggs?" Jiang Xiaofan frowned. The purchase price he gave was extremely high, and it could not be ruled out that some villagers wanted to fish in troubled waters.
Bai Susu said angrily: "Let's see what the eggs look like first."
As she spoke, she took the bowl of rotten eggs and cracked the big egg into the bowl. A huge egg yolk fell into the porcelain bowl and sloshed a few times.
Jiang Xiaofan stared at the two egg yolks with a surprised expression on his face: "Sister-in-law, this big egg seems to be better."
"That's right, its egg yolk is yellower and its egg white is brighter." Bai Susu also said in confusion.
Jiang Xiaofan stuck the egg white with his hand, put it in his mouth and tasted it: "Original eggs have less fishy smell, but this big egg has almost no fishy smell, and the taste is better than other eggs."
Jiang Xiaofan immediately judged that using this kind of eggs to cook or make medicinal meals would have a qualitatively better taste than ordinary eggs. By then, Shiweixian Restaurant would have another signature dish.
But whose eggs are these?
Jiang Xiaofan picked up a large egg and took a closer look. He found that the lines on its surface were deeper than ordinary eggs, and seemed to be somewhat similar to the eggs of wild pheasants on Longtou Mountain.
At this time, Aunt Mei led Xiao Dan in, with an unconcealable smile on her face.
She raises the largest number of native chickens, so she sells the largest number of eggs, and she makes twice as much money as before.
However, Jiang Xiaofan noticed that Xiao Dan seemed a little unhappy on his face.
Jiang Xiaofan stood up and asked: "What's wrong, Xiao Dan? I'm not happy after selling it for money."
Xiao Dan said gloomily: "Brother Xiao Fan, yesterday I secretly went to town and sold seven kilograms of eggs. I made twenty-one dollars less. I'm not happy."
"Haha!" Jiang Xiaofan rubbed Xiao Dan's head, "If you didn't sell eggs yesterday, I wouldn't have remembered to collect them. Your eggs wouldn't be sold today, are you right?"
Xiao Dan blushed and his eyes lit up: "Yes, so my eggs can be sold for more money thanks to me, right, Brother Xiao Fan?"
The people in the courtyard laughed immediately. Jiang Xiaofan smiled and said, "That's right, thanks to you."
Xiao Dan smiled sheepishly, his eyes fell on Jiang Xiaofan's hand, and he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xiaofan, what are you doing with my eggs?"
Jiang Xiaofan asked excitedly: "Is this your egg?"
Xiao Dan blinked: "Yes, Brother Xiao Fan, what's wrong?"
Aunt Mei couldn't help but said nervously: "Xiaofan, are my eggs not up to standard?"
When Xiao Dan heard his mother's words, his face suddenly fell.
Jiang Xiaofan quickly explained: "Aunt Mei, you misunderstood. The eggs are not bad, but they are too good. Whose eggs are I looking for?"
Aunt Mei breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "As long as you pass the test."
Jiang Xiaofan smiled and said: "Not only are you qualified, Aunt Mei, the eggs you raise from the chickens are of better quality than other eggs. From now on, I will pay you eight yuan per pound."
Aunt Mei quickly waved her hands and said, "No, Xiaofan, this is too expensive. I will be very happy if you can charge me seven yuan. I can't take advantage of you anymore."
Jiang Xiaofan explained the difference in taste to her, but no matter what he said, Aunt Mei refused to agree. He couldn't help but sigh. Aunt Mei has been very strong since she became a widow and has never taken advantage of others. Such a strong character
It made him a little sad.
Jiang Xiaofan's eyes suddenly lit up. Aunt Mei's family raised the most native chickens, and she must have more experience than others.
If we were talking about a good candidate for raising local chickens, it would be Aunt Mei in Laowan Village.
Jiang Xiaofan said earnestly: "Aunt Mei, this money is not given to you for free. I also want to ask you about raising native chickens."
"Raising native chickens?" Aunt Mei became interested upon hearing this, "Xiaofan, I was about to ask you, what did you mean by raising native chickens on the radio just now?"
Jiang Xiaofan immediately explained: "It's like this. I have a cooperation with Mr. Su of Shiweixian Restaurant. We not only purchase local eggs, but also local chickens for meat. But there are too few local chickens in our village. If it is raised on a large scale,
From now on, the restaurant will make regular purchases."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Mei said excitedly: "Xiaofan, I am willing to breed. My chickens are of good breed and taste good in laying eggs and eating meat."
Jiang Xiaofan's heart moved: "Aunt Mei, are you saying that the quality of your eggs has something to do with the breed of your chickens?"
"Well, come and take a look."
As Aunt Mei took the lead and walked home, Jiang Xiaofan and Bai Susu hurriedly followed. Not long after they arrived at Aunt Mei's house, Jiang Xiaofan noticed the hens in the yard. After seeing him, he raised his head warily, seeming to be angry at the slightest disagreement.
Gotta peck at it.
"Good guy, so wild."
Jiang Xiaofan sighed, looked carefully at the feathers on some chickens, and said in surprise: "Aunt Mei, your chickens seem a bit like pheasants."
"That's right, Xiaofan, you have really sharp eyesight."
Aunt Mei said with a hint of pride in her eyebrows: "When my husband was still alive, I once caught a wild pheasant from the mountain and raised it without wanting to eat it. Later I found that the wild pheasant and the domestic hens...
…”
Aunt Mei's face turned red with embarrassment when she said this. She glanced at Xiao Dan and said quickly: "Later, the eggs laid by the hens were particularly big, so I hatched those eggs. The eggs laid by the chicks were also quite big after they were raised.
It just kept hatching... and now there are so many, but now there are no roosters."
After hearing this, Jiang Xiaofan immediately understood that this was a hybrid between a wild pheasant and a domestic chicken. No wonder the size and taste of the eggs were different.
"Aunt Mei, if there were no roosters descended from pheasants, the chicks hatched from these eggs would be the same as domestic chickens." Jiang Xiaofan frowned and reminded.
With his limited biological knowledge, he also knew that after multiple rounds of incubation, the genes of the pheasant would be diluted unless a new pheasant was found.
