Chapter 278 Chicken
Captain Huang, who had just returned from watching the piglets in the pigsty, felt the weird atmosphere here. Seeing the expressions of the people at the scene and Ning Xiyue's reaction, and knowing all the people on the team well, he had some guesses in his mind. After the person next to him briefly explained it to the captain, he looked at the people opposite and yelled loudly.
"Whoever said that, hurry up and apologize to Dr. Ning. If you don't apologize, you won't get any pork this year."
Those people were already scared by Ning Xiyue, and when they heard the captain's words, they apologized one after another, fearing that if they were a step slower, Ning Xiyue would wield the knife and offend the captain again, and they would not get a share of the meat.
Captain Huang looked at Ning Xiyue who was packing her suitcases and apologized, "Doctor Ning, I'm so sorry. I didn't discipline you enough. I hope you don't take it to heart."
These talkative chatterboxes are the only ones with good skills in several teams. If they offend Doctor Ning, who will the other people in the team go to when they get sick?
"Well, no."
Ning Xiyue didn't need to take those insignificant people to heart. Such people could be found everywhere. She just wanted to scare these people who had no moral integrity.
Captain Huang apologized and felt relieved to see that she really didn't care. He turned around and looked at this group of annoying people angrily: "Go, go, go, all of you get out of here and don't get in the way here."
As soon as Captain Huang finished his words, everyone dispersed, not daring to stay any longer.
"Doctor Ning, come this way. Your service fee is ready." Captain Huang saw Ning Xiyue packed up her things and invited Ning Xiyue to go to the next room.
"Thank you for your help."
Ning Xiyue carried the small backpack she brought with her, slung her medicine box over her shoulder, and followed Captain Huang to collect her craftsmanship fee.
When you go out to treat patients or animals, if the fees you receive are money, you have to hand them over to the next level of the team. If they are items or food, you don't have to hand them over.
This is considered an invisible benefit for Ning Xiyue as a barefoot doctor.
So today all these chickens belong to her alone, just take them back openly.
Captain Huang took her to a greenhouse, where their team hatched chicks.
As Ning Xiyue walked in, she felt a wave of warmth coming towards her, and then she heard the chirping of chickens. Rows of chicken coops appeared in front of her, filled with fluffy little chicks. Two or three chickens were only the size of her palm.
"Doctor Ning, these are all newly hatched. They are still too young and difficult to feed." Captain Huang pointed to the chicks outside and introduced them. After that, he walked to the far right behind the curtain and said, "Follow me. The chickens in the room inside have been hatched for 20 days. Their down has fallen off, so they are easier to feed."
Ning Xiyue followed him in and saw an old man inside, who looked at her with a sullen expression.
She was confused. She didn't provoke this person, so why were there so many weird people on this team?
The old man was old and had a sour look on his face. Ning Xiyue ignored him and continued watching the chickens.
"Old Liu, go check on the chicks outside. It's time to feed them." Captain Huang saw his expression and was afraid that he would say something nonsense, so he sent the man out.
Old man Liu had a sour look on his face, but he went out obediently.
After the people left, Captain Huang laughed and said to Ning Xiyue: "This old man is mad at me. Doctor Ning, you can pick any chicken here."
Originally, Captain Huang had already selected three chickens, but after seeing Ning Xiyue's skills, he wanted Ning Xiyue to select them herself so that they could sell well and it would be more convenient to find someone to help in the future, so he felt embarrassed to say it.
"Thank you, Captain Huang. I'll be welcome then."
After Ning Xiyue finished speaking, she started to pick the chickens without any hesitation.
The chickens here are indeed much bigger than those outside. One is as big as her palm and weighs about 100 grams.
She didn't choose the biggest one, but picked out three chickens that caught her eye from the pile of chickens. Three chickens that were in good spirits and good-looking.
A rooster with beautiful fur and a tuft of black feathers under his chin, a pure black hen, and a hen with black and yellow feathers.
"These are too small. They won't work." Captain Huang saw that the chicks she had selected were not good, so he was anxious and caught a large khaki hen and put it in for her.
Ning Xiyue looked at the chick that was let in and raised her eyebrows at Captain Huang.
"Raising chickens is prone to loss. The chicken you chose is too small. I'm afraid you can't keep it alive. I'll give you an extra one. In the end, one will survive."
Captain Huang looked at Ning Xiyue with a simple smile and added.
"Thank you, Captain Huang. I'll use this mixed-feather chicken in exchange. I believe these three chickens can grow up healthily."
Ning Xiyue caught the black and yellow mixed-feather chicken and left the one caught by Captain Huang as a way of giving him face.
She knew the unwritten rule that a family could only raise three chickens at most. No matter what Captain Huang was thinking, she didn't intend to leave any room for criticism. Three was enough.
Captain Huang suddenly remembered this tacit rule. Their team was a large household in terms of chickens required to be delivered, so every household secretly raised an extra chicken, and the higher-ups turned a blind eye, so he didn't think about it for a while.
He slapped his head in annoyance and said, "Look at my brain. Okay, let's do this. I'll take you to meet Captain Zhang of your team. He should be fine now."
Ning Xiyue nodded in agreement, covered the opening of the backpack with cloth, and tied it with hemp rope to prevent the chicks inside from flying out.
After finishing everything, she carried the backpack on her back and the medicine box slung over her shoulder, and followed Captain Huang out of the room.
As soon as he lifted the curtain, Captain Huang saw Old Man Liu in the room outside leaning against the chicken coop, his face pale and his lips bloodless.
