Captain Huang, who had just returned from watching the piglets in the pigpen, felt the strange atmosphere here. Seeing the expressions of the people on the scene and Ning Xiyue's reaction, and knowing all the people on the team very 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 shouted loudly.
"Whoever said that, apologize to Dr. Ning immediately. If you don't, don't even think about getting your share of pork this year."
Those people were already frightened 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 use the knife to 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 as well: "Doctor Ning, I'm so sorry. It's my fault for not being strict enough. I hope you don't take it to heart."
These talkative chatterboxes are the only skilled doctor like him in several brigades. 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 care about those insignificant people. Such people could be found everywhere. She simply wanted to scare these people who had no moral integrity.
Captain Huang apologized and was 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."
As soon as Captain Huang finished speaking, 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 walk 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 with confidence.
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, full of fluffy little chicks, two or three of which were only the size of her palm.
"Doctor Ning, these are all newly hatched. They're still too young to be easy to feed," Captain Huang said, pointing to the chicks outside. He then walked to the far right, behind the curtains. "Follow me. The chickens in this room have been hatched for twenty days. Their down has already fallen out, so they're easier to feed."
Ning Xiyue followed him in and saw an old man inside, who looked at her with a very 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 face. Ning Xiyue ignored him and continued to watch the chickens.
"Old Liu, go check on the chicks outside. It's time to feed them." Captain Huang looked at him and was afraid that he would say something nonsense, so he sent him out.
Old man Liu had a sour look on his face, but he went out obediently.
After the people left, Captain Huang said to Ning Xiyue with a smile: "This old man is angry with me. Doctor Ning, you can take your pick of the chickens here."
Captain Huang had originally selected three chickens, but after seeing Ning Xiyue's skills, he wanted Ning Xiyue to select them herself and sell them well. It would also be more convenient to find someone to help in the future, so he felt embarrassed to ask for it.
"Thank you, Captain Huang. I'll be more than 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 400 grams.
She didn't choose the biggest one, but picked out three chickens that caught her eye from the pile of chickens. They were energetic and good-looking.
A rooster with beautiful feathers and a tuft of black feathers under its 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 enough, so he was anxious and personally 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 very easy to cause losses. The chicken you chose is too small. I'm afraid you can't keep it alive. I'm giving 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 trade this mixed-feather chicken for it. I believe these three chickens will grow up healthy."
Ning Xiyue caught the black and yellow mixed-feather chicken and left the one caught by Captain Huang as a favor to him.
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 gossip. Three was three.
Captain Huang suddenly remembered this tacit rule. Their team was a major producer of chickens, 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 frustration and said, "Look at my brain. Okay, then this is it. I'll take you to meet Captain Zhang of your team. He should be feeling better soon."
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.
