Xuan came over from behind and stared at Xiao Huang. Xiao Huang was not afraid at all and kept shouting.
"Huh? Xiao Huang, you're so brave now after a few days?" Meng Yuqing found it interesting and reached out to touch Xiao Huang's head.
Xuan also found it quite interesting. In the past, Xiao Huang would run away within five seconds if he stared at him, but this time he actually stood in front of the two of them and kept shouting.
He also squatted down and reached out to grab Xiao Huang in front of him. Xiao Huang paused for a moment, and then screamed even harder.
Xuan also touched Xiao Huang's fur and put it back on the ground without much difficulty. When he was about to get up to prepare some berries as snacks, he glanced at a hint of white in the grass nest in Xiao Huang's cage.
"Yuqing? Is Xiao Huang old enough to lay eggs? I saw an egg in his nest." Xuan walked to Xiao Huang's cage, turned over his grass nest, and took out an egg that was not even as big as his palm.
"Let me see." Meng Yuqing walked up to Xuan and picked up the egg. "Really? Xiao Huang can lay eggs now. We'll have eggs to eat in the future!"
"Ah? Aren't you going to use it to hatch cubs?" Xuan asked.
Meng Yuqing shook her head. "This egg won't work. An egg that hasn't been mated won't hatch a cub."
Xuan looked at the eggs and said, "It turns out that livestock like Xiao Huang can lay eggs without mating."
"Yes." Meng Yuqing put the eggs away, and Xiao Huang finally stopped crying.
"Let's go to the breeding area. Xiao Huang can lay eggs now, so the others should be able to lay eggs too. Let's go and take a look at those eggs." Meng Yuqing put Xiao Huang back into the cage, then pulled Xuan out.
After the two of them left the yard for some distance, Xuan directly turned into a beast.
Meng Yuqing always had a strange feeling. He stood there thinking for a while, until Xuan urged him to come back to his senses.
Climbing onto Xuan's beast form, he attributed the strange feeling to the fact that he hadn't been back for so long and paid no more attention to it.
Xuan took him to the breeding area. Now, except for the pigs, most of the livestock were free-range.
There is no need for orcs to keep an eye on them, as they will return to their nests at night anyway.
The orcs just need to keep them under control and prevent them from being taken away by wild beasts.
Before reaching the chicken and duck shed, Meng Yuqing heard all kinds of clucking and quacking sounds.
Xuan took him closer and saw an old orc picking eggs in the shed with two small wicker baskets padded with thick hay.
Seeing Meng Yuqing and Xuan coming over, he stopped what he was doing and greeted them with a smile.
Looking at these eggs, Meng Yuqing also had a headache. The chickens and ducks here are almost raised together.
The drakes and roosters were not separated, and with so many eggs, no one knew which were fertilized and which were not.
Moreover, the weather is hot now, and the hens are not sitting on the eggs very often, so there are no chickens or ducks to hatch these eggs.
He couldn't possibly continue to let the flying orcs incubate the eggs, and there were still many unfertilized eggs in there, so he couldn't just use them to incubate them.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Meng Yuqing recalled how they raised chickens and ducks in the modern world.
Without disturbing the old orc who continued to collect eggs, Meng Yuqing pulled Xuan to the edge of the pond.
The ducks were swimming in the pond at that time, so the two found a cleaner place to sit down.
Meng Yuqing said to Xuan, "Male and female chickens and ducks must be raised separately, otherwise you won't be able to tell which eggs will hatch chicks and ducklings.
Wait until the hottest period is over, then put them together. That time is just right for breeding.
During that time, more chickens will be brooding, and even if there are eggs that don't hatch, they can be passed on to other chickens to hatch."
"Anything else?" Xuan asked.
"Don't worry about the rabbits; they have a very strong reproductive capacity. Among other livestock, only pigs can produce multiple litters a year. We'll go get some boars these days, and they should have another litter of piglets by mid-autumn. But the winters here are too cold, so we'll have to make a good nest for them so they don't freeze to death."
Meng Yuqing talked to Xuan for a long time, telling him everything he could think of.
Xuan nodded as he wrote down these things, "I'll go talk to my father later about these things. Is there anything else you want to say? I'll tell you all at once later."
He propped up his face and looked at Meng Yuqing, "Didn't we agree before that when we get back, we'd just stop worrying about anything and rest for ten days and ignore everyone?"
Meng Yuqing smiled when Xuan mentioned this. "Okay, we'll talk to the clan leader about this later and ask for leave. We'll put everything aside and have fun for ten days."
After the two of them had discussed it, they ran to a deserted place and got out four boars. These boars were quite unruly and ran around everywhere as soon as they came out. Meng Yuqing had to work very hard to barely catch one.
Thinking of the video he had seen before, in which it took several people to hold down a pig, Meng Yuqing suddenly realized that he was actually very capable.
Xuan was not so kind to these boars. He just bared his teeth and growled, pressed one with each of his front paws, held one in his mouth, and wrapped his tail around the one that Meng Yuqing was holding.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh." Xuan looked at Meng Yuqing and screamed.
Meng Yuqing listened carefully for a long time before he understood what Xuan was saying, "Go get some vines and tie it up."
Bringing vines, Meng Yuqing began to tie up the boars. The boars were not convinced and kept struggling.
Xuan looked at these guys with flames in his eyes.
If he didn't know that these guys were exchanged by Meng Yuqing and required the energy collected by Meng Yuqing to be consumed, he could kill these four guys with just one claw.
Fortunately, Meng Yuqing is no longer an ordinary person, and the boars are restrained by Xuan, so he quickly tied them up.
