Chapter 217 Spare the chicken!
Yan Sui put her hands in her pockets and glanced at Lin Mu.
This person can't say anything nice.
"I raised it."
Before she could continue, Lin Mu interrupted her hastily: "You admit it, you abused these peacocks!"
Yan Sui looked impatient. "Who abused them? I bought these peacocks from a closed-down zoo. Before they came to Changqing Village, they were already thin and sick because no one took care of them. Two of them even died of illness before."
She pursed her lips and said, "If you don't believe me, you can check it out. My purchasing channels are legal and compliant."
[Is it the zoo in the south of the city? I took pictures there before. Many of the animals have been moved, leaving only a flock of peacocks unattended.]
Now that you mention it, I do recall seeing related posts online. I'll go look them up.
No need to look further, it's right there. I heard before that a kind person bought the peacock.
To put it simply, without Yan Sui, these peacocks would surely have perished.
I found the post. These peacocks are doing quite well now; they were almost dead before.
Once an informed netizen explained, the tone of the comments immediately changed.
The undisguised disappointment on Lin Mu's face was particularly glaring at this moment.
That's so malicious.
After watching the peacocks for a while, everyone continued on their way.
Before long, they arrived at the chicken coop of the King and the Little King.
"Wow, is that a chicken? It's so beautiful!" Ji Ning exclaimed.
Especially when Xiao Wang flew down from the roof, its tail feathers spread out, displaying both heroic spirit and vibrant beauty.
Yan Mo: "Yan Sui, are these also your pets? Did you buy them from the zoo?"
Yan Sui shook her head. "At first, I only raised the two big ones, Da Wang and Xiao Wang. The rest were eggs laid by Da Wang, and they all hatched later."
Ji Ning hurriedly asked, "What kind of chickens are they? They're so beautiful."
"I don't know, I just brought them home to keep because they're cute," Yan Sui said honestly.
Ji Ning: "Can you sell me one?"
Yan Sui: "Do you want to eat? The big and small ones might not be suitable, and the others are a bit small, so the meat might not taste very good."
Ji Ning originally wanted to keep it as a pet, but after hearing her words, she couldn't help but swallow hard.
If you can raise them to the size of the King and Little King, their meat will definitely be firm.
While the two of them were discussing whether the chicken was delicious, the live stream chat exploded.
[Help! This is too much torture!]
[This is a top-tier national-level brown eared pheasant! It's been eaten for at least five years!]
[Hahaha, although it's funny, it's really hilarious. Yan Sui and Ji Ning are seriously discussing whether to steam or deep-fry.]
[That doesn't seem right. I remember the brown eared pheasant being aggressive and prone to laying eggs in the wild, and even if it lays eggs in the nest, it often doesn't incubate them; otherwise, it wouldn't be endangered.]
Min Zhi hurriedly recorded the screen in front of the camera, staring intently at the screen without daring to blink.
The production team probably realized that Yan Sui and her chickens were not ordinary, and the discussion in the live broadcast room was too intense, so they had to end the broadcast early.
Min Zhi blushed with excitement, grabbed her phone, and sprinted outside.
I made my way to my supervisor's office.
"Professor Xiao, please watch this video!"
Professor Xiao is her graduate advisor, and he is over seventy years old.
He was among the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. After graduating from Yenching University, he taught at universities for nearly forty years.
For decades, he has traveled to various places to participate in the investigation and research of rare and endangered wild animals.
After Min Zhi was assigned to his subordinates, he accompanied him to various mountainous areas in Yanjiao to search for traces of wild brown eared pheasants, but to no avail.
She never expected that Yan Sui would give her hope when she was about to give up.
"Is this a brown eared pheasant? I'm not entirely sure."
Min Zhi pursed her lips, unsure because there were too many possibilities.
According to Yan Sui, she only found two brown eared pheasants this year, so how could they hatch so many chicks in such a short time?
Professor Xiao, wearing his reading glasses, stared intently at the screen, even his breathing becoming soft.
Where am I?
"It's in Yancheng, in a place called Changqing Village."
Professor Xiao slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "Xiao Min, you should first notify the Forestry Bureau and contact the local rangers. We're heading to Changqing Village now."
Min Zhi knew from his reaction that it was pretty much the truth.
...
Meanwhile, Yan Sui had no idea what was about to happen to her.
She happily hugged the mushrooms she had picked from the mountain and ran to the end of the village to find Fu Yansheng.
"Wow, you've picked so many mushrooms? That's impressive." Qian Runqiu craned his neck to take a look.
Yan Sui chuckled, "Grandma Qian, how about we stew some fresh mushrooms with chicken?"
"Sure, come pick two chickens from your orchard, it's on me."
Yan Sui, however, did not want to eat the free-range chickens in the orchard; she had her eye on Da Wang and Xiao Wang.
But she was afraid of being scolded by her grandmother, so she came to find a scapegoat.
So she took the mushrooms into the house to find Fu Yansheng and asked the same question.
Fu Yansheng would naturally not object to whatever she wanted to eat.
But judging from her appearance, she seems to be full of bad intentions.
"Just playing PUBG?"
Yan Sui blinked. "The chickens that the Great King and Little King hatched, although they're not old enough, I think they're still edible."
Fu Yansheng: "...Aren't you afraid Grandma will beat you up?"
Yan Sui propped her arms on the table and pouted as she looked at him.
"You definitely wouldn't want to see me get beaten up, right?"
Fu Yansheng tapped her on the head, "Bring the chicken over here to cook."
Yan Sui had the same idea; otherwise, she wouldn't have brought the mushrooms over.
“We took hot water over there, killed the chickens near the coop, plucked their feathers, and brought them back.”
Fu Yansheng needs to accompany her, otherwise if Grandma finds out, she won't be able to find anyone to take the blame.
Fu Yansheng then dropped what he was doing and accompanied her to kill a chicken.
The two arrived at the chicken coop. Yan Sui, carrying a kitchen knife, directed Fu Yansheng to catch the strongest-looking chicken.
It looked exactly like the king, and Yan Sui really couldn't bring herself to do it.
You can raise chickens, just for food.
She gripped the cleaver, about to slit its throat, when she suddenly heard an angry shout: "You wretched girl, how dare you kill a chicken behind my back!"
Yan Sui trembled; it was her grandmother's voice!
She hurriedly shoved the kitchen knife into Fu Yansheng's hand, saying, "I didn't kill the chicken. He was just craving it, so I reluctantly agreed!"
They passed the buck very smoothly.
Fu Yansheng: "..."
He silently stood up and volunteered to take the blame: "Grandma, it was me who wanted to eat it."
The old lady huffed, "Don't wrong Xiao Fu, he's not that kind of person!"
Yan Sui curled her lip, thinking, "Only this old lady would treat chickens like phoenixes."
Why are you here at this time?
The old lady glanced behind her and said, "Someone is looking for you. They say they're from the Forestry Bureau."
Several others were staff members from a wildlife conservation association, and she couldn't understand why they were looking for Yan Sui.
At that moment, Min Zhi, who was following behind Professor Xiao, saw Yan Sui carrying a kitchen knife to kill a chicken and shuddered.
"Spare the chicken!"
