Chapter 386 Chicken feeding class?
"Ah...chicken feeding class." Cuizhi blinked and thought of a class name for her.
Xu Wan was confused: "Feeding chickens? Where do you feed them?"
"In the courtyard of the big study," Cuizhi said with a smile, "In order to make it convenient for them to write poems, Mr. Su specially asked the servants to throw all the chickens he bought into the courtyard and let the young masters serve them closely."
Xu Wan: “…”
Well, not too surprising.
After all, he had just been asked to go to the river to pick lotus flowers the day before, and to go to the fields to dig flowers and plant vegetables the day before, so it was reasonable to ask him to feed the chickens today. Mr. Su just wanted to bring his daily work in the countryside to the city and continue doing it.
For the young boys, this is a new experience they have never had before, and it can also stimulate their creativity to a greater extent.
Xu Wan tried to calm down and asked, "How many chickens did you buy?"
Cuizhi said silently: "One hundred."
Xu Wan was stunned. She shouted in surprise, "Opening a chicken farm?"
Cuizhi tried hard to hold back her laughter: "Madam, you should eat first. After dinner, you can go and take a look in person."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wan quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice, changed into neat clothes, and took Cuizhi over.
The key class of the Hou Mansion, at the entrance of the class.
As soon as Xu Wan entered the door, she was attacked by a yellow figure.
Shen Yibai rushed over and shouted, "Stop! If you dare to jump off me, I'll break your legs!"
Xu Wan dodged quickly, and saw Shen Yibai rushing over and grabbing the yellow chicken.
Shen Yibai said happily: "I got you! Why don't you thank me for saving your life?"
The little chicken that can't speak: "..."
In the distance, Wei Xinglu called him, "Xiaobai, come back quickly, you haven't caught all the chickens yet."
"Oh, okay! Come right up!" Shen Yibai quickly got up from the ground, saw Xu Wan and called out "Hello, Auntie", then went back to catch chickens.
Xu Wan looked at the yellow chickens running around the yard and the young boys jumping up and down, and said to Cuizhi, "It's completely different from what I imagined."
Cuizhi also responded: "No wonder the accountant said that only 300 coins were spent for 100 chickens. It turns out that the reason why they are so cheap is that they were all chicks."
Although Xu Wan was not watching here, the servants serving in the mansion would be kept at Su Xi's disposal. He would buy whatever he asked them to buy, not to mention just a few chicks.
Xu Wan smiled and said, "Even if adults were asked to catch a hundred big chickens, they would go crazy, let alone just a few of them. It was Mr. Su who was smart and asked them to feed the cute little chickens. No wonder they didn't make a fuss and had a lot of fun."
In the small pavilion, Su Xi was fanning himself and pointing out the landscape:
"Shen Yibai, be gentle, or the chicken might fall to death before you crush it to death."
"Zong Wenxiu, hurry up. You are the slowest. At this speed, you won't be able to catch all the culprits even after dark."
"Wei Xinglu, I asked you to catch a chicken, but you are playing with it? Are you dancing? You are really good at dancing with a chicken."
"Zong Jincheng, watch your way as you walk. There are a few fish under your feet that you haven't caught yet. If you take this step, you can send them to see the Buddha."
"He Zheng, what are you doing? I've seen people catching fish with nets, but I've never seen people catching chickens with nets. What are you doing with a fish basket?"
Su Xi was getting impatient as he was talking. Just as he stood up from the stone bench and was about to get off, he saw Xu Wan coming over. The arrogant old man restrained himself a little and smiled at her, "Good morning, Madam. Are you here to watch the chicken catching?"
Xu Wan smiled and nodded: "Yes, this courtyard is still lively. Are you having fun, sir?"
Su Xi couldn't hold back his laughter, and chuckled twice, saying, "Why are you so happy? I'm supervising them, but I'm not personally involved."
Xu Wanxin said: The smug smile on your face is too obvious.
But she still had to show some respect to the adults, and pretended not to see through anything and asked, "Sir, where are they going to take the chickens?"
"Well." Su Xi pointed out an empty space with his finger, "This fence is something they just put up this morning. It's a little crooked, but it's still usable."
Xu Wan took a look and found that they did a pretty good job. It was only because Su Xi had high standards that she felt that their work was poorly done.
She nodded and said, "I've been busy all morning. I was wondering why we've only just started catching chickens."
"Ah, these kids, it's so hard to catch a chicken, and they're almost starving by the time they finish catching the chickens..." Su Xi suddenly stood up and yelled at the young boys, "Hey, hey, hey! Zong Jincheng! You stepped on a chicken! I just reminded you to look at your feet, look at your feet, where are you looking with your big eyes? Why are you always looking at your mother? She won't run away!"
When Zong Jincheng saw Xu Wan coming, he glanced over here several times and wanted to come over to talk to his mother, but he accidentally stepped on a chicken.
After being reminded by Su Xi, he hurried to check on the chicken, and sure enough, he had stepped on one of its paws, and it was now limping and unable to stand up.
The little devil was devastated. He shouted in despair, "House doctor! Where is the house doctor? Come and check my chicken's legs!"
“…”
The court doctor came to work with a faint sense of death.
He examined the chicken without any regrets, tied up its legs, and gave the result: "It's a minor fracture. It will be fine after ten days of rest."
Zong Jincheng nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will take good care of it in the next ten days!"
The court doctor rolled his eyes, picked up his medicine box and ran away quickly. Day after day, he examined people, then pigs, then chickens. Everyone in the court, including dogs and cats, had to have his pulse checked by him.
Despair!
Zong Jincheng asked Shunzi to find a basket and put the lame chicken in it alone. He guiltily named it Maomao and said to Shunzi, "Take good care of my Maomao. I will come back to give it a gift and apologize after I catch all the chickens."
Shunzi nodded and said, "Yes."
Su Xi sat back down with a twitching mouth: "What the hell, your doctor is really used to him, he even treated a chicken... I am so angry that I am laughing."
Xu Wan laughed out loud: "How can it not be considered a new experience? It's quite new to you, sir, right?"
Su Xi nodded and said, "It's quite novel. It's because you taught this child to be obedient. If he were a playboy, and he continued to behave like this, he would definitely become a famous playboy in the whole capital."
Xu Wan looked up at the sky silently.
I dare not admit the fact that Mr. Su may have discovered the truth.
