Jiang An nodded without hesitation and quickly returned to the passage: "No problem, I'll do whatever you say!"
And so, the two of them went back and forth and quickly settled the deal.
Then, Jiang An turned his attention to the breeding cage.
Inside the cage, the chicks were all full and frolicking happily.
Some flapped their still-developing wings, eager to try flying; others playfully pecked at their companions' feathers with their little beaks, having a great time.
Outside the breeding cage, the little turtles and mice were also busy. They obediently squatted on the ground, their bright eyes fixed intently on the lively and adorable chicks inside the cage.
Every now and then, two tiny claws would reach out and gently touch the chicks' soft down with their fingertips, feeling the delicacy and warmth.
Occasionally, it will make some strange noises, as if it is whispering secrets to the chicks that only they can understand, in order to amuse the little guys.
Whenever the chicks are teased and cluck loudly and run around excitedly, the two little ones can't help but burst into a clear and melodious laugh, just like innocent children.
Just then, Jiang An walked briskly to the breeding cage.
She skillfully opened the lid, her gaze focused and sharp, and began carefully selecting the chicks from the cage.
She looked left and right, and after careful selection, finally chose six chicks that looked the most energetic and lively.
Then, she happily sent the chicks to Tian Qing.
Time flew by unnoticed, and before long, all 43 chicks that had just hatched that day had been successfully sold!
Jiang stood there quietly, her gaze fixed on the empty breeding cage, a satisfied and gratified smile involuntarily spreading across her face.
This transaction was incredibly successful for her; she not only completed the transaction smoothly but also gained a considerable and extremely valuable trading point.
However, in stark contrast to Jiang An were the little turtle and the little mouse standing to the side.
The two of them stared intently at the empty breeding cage, their eyes filled with sorrow and loss. The chicks that had once been lively and chattering in the cage were nowhere to be seen.
"Coo-coo!" "Squeak!" The little turtle and the little mouse chirped softly, looking at Jiang An with pitiful eyes, as if silently questioning why he had sold those cute little chicks.
The little turtle, in particular, had tears welling up in its eyes, its reluctance almost overflowing.
"Mommy, why did you sell the chicks? They were so cute!" the little turtle asked, sobbing. Its voice was clearly trembling with tears, and its big eyes blinked rapidly, tears welling up in its eyes.
Upon hearing the little turtle's question, the little mouse also became anxious. It excitedly jumped up and down on the spot, making "squeak squeak squeak" sounds to express its dissatisfaction and sadness.
Seeing the two little ones so heartbroken, Jiang An's heart softened. She gently bent down, reaching out to stroke the little turtle and mouse's heads, and softly explained, "My darlings, raising these chicks requires a lot of food. But we have so little food right now, barely enough to sustain ourselves. And now we have a camel in the family; it has a huge appetite—one camel can eat the equivalent of our whole family's daily food rations. If we don't sell the chicks for food, we'll all go hungry. Do you really want the camel to leave because there isn't enough food?"
After hearing Jiang An's words, the little turtle remained silent for a long time.
Finally, after a great internal struggle, it nodded dejectedly and weakly replied, "Okay..."
Jiang An then turned his head to look at the eggs in the storage ring, then glanced at the incubator next to him. After a moment's thought, he decisively took out a total of 50 fertilized eggs and gently placed them into the incubator.
For her, the transaction points she could gain from simply selling eggs were far less than those from selling chicks.
Therefore, she must make full use of the resources at hand to gain more benefits.
The chick issue was finally resolved, and Jiang An breathed a sigh of relief.
In the time that followed, she decided to calm down and carefully review the various gains she had made from successfully upgrading to level four.
The first thing that caught Jiang An's eye was the alchemy furnace, which exuded a mysterious aura. Jiang An carefully picked it up and examined it closely.
After a careful inspection, she was surprised to find that the alchemy furnace actually had its own fire!
At the bottom of the alchemy furnace, there lay a small, seemingly inconspicuous firestone.
Don't underestimate this small stone; it contains powerful energy, enough to support the blazing flames needed for alchemy.
Moreover, this alchemy furnace has a magical function—it can freely adjust its size according to Jiang An's wishes.
It will adjust according to her will. "Small, smallest!" and the alchemy furnace will quickly shrink until it becomes only the size of a palm, making it very convenient to carry and store.
However, due to the limited kitchen space, Jiang An was unable to test the maximum size that the alchemy furnace could change to.
After fondling the alchemy furnace for a while, Jiang An gently waved his hand, shrinking it to its smallest size before carefully storing it in his storage ring.
After doing all that, she took a deep breath and turned her gaze to the next important item—the cooking machine.
A cooking machine is a rare find, and for Jiang An, who loves food, it's like finding a treasure.
I just don't know if dishes made with a cooking machine will still earn experience points.
However, after trying it out, Jiang An found out that using the cooking machine to increase experience points was a great joy, but if it didn't, there was nothing to be disappointed about.
She couldn't wait to take out the rewards she had received that day from her storage ring: various delicious medicinal dishes and detailed recipes.
Then, she focused intently on inputting this valuable information into the cooking machine one by one.
With everything ready, Jiang An took out fresh, tender fish slices that had been cut at some point from his storage ring.
Next, she skillfully put the appropriate amount of seasonings into the cooking machine and pressed the "pickled fish" button without hesitation.
In an instant, the cooking machine emitted a slight humming sound, and the internal mechanical device began to operate in an orderly manner, automatically starting the process of making sauerkraut fish.
As time passed, an enticing aroma gradually filled the air. Jiang An watched the cooking machine with excitement, eagerly anticipating its finished product.
With a "ding!", the cooking machine stopped operating, and the indicator light flashed, indicating that the sauerkraut fish had been cooked.
Jiang An quickly turned on the cooking machine, and a delicious-looking pickled fish dish appeared before her. She carefully took a bite and was instantly captivated by its exquisite flavor.
