The boss got beaten 4 times by that silly bird.
Early in the morning, the eldest brother, sporting dark circles under his eyes, squatted in front of the chicken coop.
Clutching a handful of millet, his face was full of defiance.
"Dog Egg, let's talk."
Dog Egg poked his bald head out from the haystack, his beady eyes glancing at him sideways.
"Shall we talk about you sneaking some of my millet in the middle of the night?"
"I bought that!"
The eldest brother jumped up and down.
"If it's in my bowl, it's mine."
Dog Egg shook its few remaining feathers with a self-righteous air.
"Do you understand the rules of the underworld?"
Zui Qingfeng, leaning against a tree smoking, scoffed upon hearing this.
"Boss, you can't even argue with a chicken."
Chen Ze silently handed over a book titled "An Introduction to Bird Language".
The eldest brother was filled with grief and indignation. "I can't live like this anymore!"
The Hongqiao Market has reopened, and a new sign has been put up in front of Gou Dan's booth:
Special Offer: Curing All Dissatisfaction
"Can't win an argument? Unleash the dog egg!"
"Your rival's too arrogant? Let's unleash Dog Egg!"
"My boss is unreasonable? Let's get this out of here!"
The person frying fish called out from the side.
"Today's Special Offer! Buy one get one free on our swearing service!"
A noblewoman came to visit, leading her pug.
"That little brat tore my silk yesterday, can I scold it to wake it up?"
Dog Egg glanced at the snarling pug and cleared his throat.
"Waaah! Short legs! Waaah! Short legs!"
The pug was struck dumb, and immediately wilted like a rag.
The noblewoman wept with joy and threw down a silver ingot. "A divine rooster!"
As he closed up shop in the evening, Zui Qingfeng counted his money.
"I made a net profit of two hundred taels today, but..."
He pointed to a spot not far away.
Dog Egg was squatting on the restaurant signboard, a toothpick tucked between its wings.
"Shopkeeper! Another pot of Daughter's Red wine, please!"
The eldest brother covered his face: "My wages..."
Chen Ze suddenly drew his sword: "I'll go kill that drunken chicken."
Just then, Shiyun's zither music began to play. Gou Dan jumped at the sound, fluttered down, and stumbled into Xi Jiang's arms, letting out a drunken hiccup.
"The Hundred Birds Gang... hiccup... the best in the world..."
"Good chicken!"
The eldest brother's expression changed instantly, and he grabbed Gou Dan in a hug.
"Let's go home!"
Under the moonlight, an enticing aroma wafted from the gang's kitchen.
Dog Egg squatted on the stove and gave instructions.
"Not hot enough! Add more firewood!"
He frantically fanned the fish while frying it.
"Is this beggar's chicken really for the boss to nourish his body?"
"Of course!" Gou Dan said righteously.
"After all, he was here today..."
Before he could finish speaking, the eldest brother burst through the door.
"It smells so good!"
The next second, he stared at the chicken-shaped outline in the lotus leaf package, then looked at Gou Dan on the stove, his face turning ashen.
"You...stewed Dog Egg?"
"fart!"
Dog Egg slapped him across the face with his wing.
"I'm teaching you how to be a prostitute!"
A gentle breeze whispers through the air.
"Boss, you really should learn how to be a decent human being."
A series of urgent knocks on the door startled everyone awake.
A young man in brocade robes stood outside the door, holding a snow-white peacock in his arms.
"I've heard your gang has a magical rooster that can cure lovesickness in birds?"
Dog Egg poked his head out from the roof beam: "How much is the consultation fee?"
The boy pulled out a luminous pearl: "My father is a member of the South China Sea Chamber of Commerce..."
"make a deal!"
The eldest brother rushed forward in one stride.
"Our Dog Egg is best at this!"
White Peacock followed Dog Egg late into the night and finally learned to swear. The South China Sea Chamber of Commerce sent ten boxes of seafood as a token of their gratitude.
The eldest brother looked at the lively lobsters all over the yard and his eyes filled with tears.
"Dog Egg, you're truly our gang's lucky charm!"
Dog Egg held his head high with pride.
"Nonsense! Otherwise, do you think we'd rely on a weakling like you as the leader?"
In the dead of night, on the roof of the Hundred Birds Gang, a chicken and a person sat side by side, gnawing on a grilled fish.
"Honestly,"
The eldest brother asked vaguely.
Why did you always scold us back then?
Dog Egg gazed at the distant sunset, finding a rare moment of peace.
"because..."
"You look like a bunch of fools, yet you're happier than anyone else."
The night breeze rustled its tattered feathers, and the gang's plaque gleamed faintly in the moonlight.
There was a small chicken claw print on it at some point.
