Chapter 116 Catching pheasant with my sister-in-law
"Xiaofan, how did you know?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaofan's words, Aunt Mei showed a shocked expression on her face. She only discovered it after hatching it many times. Every time it is hatched, the egg becomes smaller and the taste is closer to that of an ordinary egg.
"Mom, don't forget, Brother Xiaofan is a key college student in our village." Xiao Dan quickly reminded him.
"Look at my brain, I forgot about this." Aunt Mei said a little embarrassed, and then changed the topic: "Xiao Fan, to tell you the truth, because there are no descendants of pheasant roosters, I have hatched them all these years.
Based on experience, these hybrid hens can only hatch one more round at most."
Jiang Xiaofan nodded, convinced that his guess was correct, and sighed and said: "These hybrid native chickens in your family can only produce enough meat for one year at most. If you want to make a living from breeding in the future, you have to think about other things."
method."
"This..." Aunt Mei was stunned for a moment. She obviously didn't think so far ahead.
Xiao Dan seemed to understand and said: "Brother Xiao Fan, would it be good to catch another pheasant? I want my mother to raise chickens in the future. Raising chickens is easier than working in the fields. I can raise chickens every year."
Enough."
"Good boy." Aunt Mei's eyes were slightly red and she hugged Xiao Dan tightly.
Jiang Xiaofan was slightly touched. There were no other side jobs in Laowan Village, and most of the villagers made a living by farming. But without a man in Aunt Mei's family, she would have to work even harder than other villagers.
"Xiao Dan, don't worry, I will find a way to solve it." Jiang Xiaofan touched Xiao Dan's head and smiled.
"Aunt Mei, don't worry about raising native chickens. I will always collect native eggs. Leave the matter of hybrid native chickens to me."
After Jiang Xiaofan left Aunt Mei's house, he had to solve the problem of hybrid native chickens. The remaining hybrid native chickens at Aunt Mei's house were simply not enough to promote breeding in the whole village.
"Xiaofan, what should we do now?" Bai Susu asked with a worried look.
"Let me think about it..."
Jiang Xiaofan fell into deep thought. The key reason why the medicated chicken that Wei Xuan praised was delicious was that the native chicken ate tomatoes, and the tomatoes were nourished by spiritual energy.
In other words, native chicken, like hare, will become more delicious after absorbing spiritual energy.
Jiang Xiaofan told Su Yunhe that local chicken would be sufficient for the medicated chicken. In fact, this was to cover up the fact that spiritual energy can improve the taste.
Now Jiang Xiaofan is facing two directions. The first is to let ordinary native chickens eat tomatoes, which is to absorb spiritual energy in disguise, thus changing the taste of meat and eggs. The second is to cross common native chickens with pheasants to improve the meat and eggs in terms of variety.
The taste of eggs.
"Theoretically, both methods are feasible."
But the tomatoes in the field are barely enough, so how can there be any extra for the local chickens to destroy?
So it is obviously impossible to let the whole village of local chickens eat tomatoes.
Jiang Xiaofan remembered that Su Yunhe said that when the vegetables in Longtoushan mature, Shiweixian Restaurant will have almost no rivals in the field of vegetarian food. However, meat and eggs cannot be served only by native chickens. The use of native chickens and eggs is only just passing the standard, and it is different from other restaurants and hotels.
At the same level, if you want to surpass them, you must use cross-bred native chickens.
There is a huge difference in taste between the meat and eggs of hybrid native chickens and ordinary native chickens.
And to put it another way, when there is an abundance of Aura tomatoes in the future, the hybrid chickens can eat vegetables that are more delicious than the meat and eggs of ordinary chickens eating tomatoes.
So now we can only breed hybrid native chickens to improve the meat quality and the taste of eggs.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaofan's eyes became firm: "Sister-in-law, first go to your house to catch a hen, and then we go up the mountain to catch pheasants."
"Why are you catching my hens?" Bai Susu was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Xiaofan smiled evilly and said: "Of course I want her to be the bride."
Bai Susu reacted immediately and spat at Jiang Xiaofan with a red face. The two came to Bai Susu's house together, and Jiang Xiaofan picked a big hen.
After catching the hen, Jiang Xiaofan took Bai Susu outside the village.
He saw a funny scene along the way. Almost every household was counting their own old hens. In the past, they were kept free-range and there was no need to worry about them. Now Jiang Xiaofan charges seven yuan a pound for free-range eggs, and the value of each old hen has skyrocketed.
Some villagers even grabbed the hens and painted them with marks so as not to make any mistakes.
Jiang Xiaofan first went to the tomato field, took the little eagle guarding the tomatoes with him, and then headed towards Longtoushan together.
It was almost dusk at this time, and it was the time when the wild pheasants returned to their nests.
Jiang Xiaofan wandered around the mountain forest, looking for any clues about the pheasant. However, after searching for more than ten minutes, he still found no trace of the pheasant.
"Xiaofan, what should I do now?" Bai Susu panted slightly from exhaustion, and her chest kept rising and falling. Some parts of her body were wet with sweat, and the thin dress fabric stuck to her skin, showing a different kind of temptation.
.
Jiang Xiaofan glanced secretly several times, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. Men are very sensitive to women's appearance and voice. Are animals the same?
"I have an idea."
Without saying a word, Jiang Xiaofan tied the hen to a tree with a rope, then hid behind a nearby tree with Bai Susu, and said to the little eagle, "Little eagle, scare it."
"Wow wow wow——"
The little eagle raised its head proudly, glanced at the hen with disdain, and suddenly rushed over at a high speed, making the hen cluck and scream in fright.
Jiang Xiaofan let the little eagle scare him a few more times. The hen completely turned into a frightened bird. It flapped its wings and wanted to run down the mountain. However, there was a rope on its leg tied to the tree, so it could only circle around the tree, with all its feathers attached.
A lot of trouble was lost.
"Xiao Diao, come back!"
Jiang Xiaofan watched this scene with satisfaction and quickly asked the little eagle to come back and hide in the grass. If the pheasant felt the scent of the little eagle, it would definitely not risk its life for a hen.
"Gugu, gugu——"
A few minutes later, Jiang Xiaofan heard a low cry. He turned to look at the sound and saw a pheasant emerging from the bushes, looking at the hen warily with its two eyes.
"Sister-in-law, the pheasant is here."
Jiang Xiaofan held his breath and concentrated, for fear of disturbing the pheasant.
"Yeah." Bai Susu grabbed Jiang Xiaofan's arm, so nervous that she didn't even dare to breathe.
The hen seemed to feel something, and her wings flapped violently. The pheasant slowly walked toward the hen, then suddenly stopped and looked behind it.
"Shashasha..."
There was a sound in the bushes, and then a tall pheasant walked out. The feathers on its body were bright and shiny, and it was a full circle bigger than the first pheasant. As it walked, it stared at the first pheasant.
Pheasant.
"Sister-in-law, is your hen so charming?" Jiang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smacked his lips and said.
