When Feng Yi was fishing before, he smelled the scent of chickens in the wind. It was a large group of chickens. Obviously there was a farm nearby.
When Mo Xiaoguang and his friends were collecting their fishing rods, Tang Kui also came over and said he wanted to treat them to dinner and let them try some farm-style dishes.
When they heard about farm dishes, Mo Xiaoguang and Bai Lu became interested. They had eaten too much at banquets and restaurants, so it would be nice to change the taste.
"Hey, just in time. I'll kill one of the fish I caught today, the biggest one!" Mo Xiaoguang pointed at one of the fish. "It always feels so fulfilling to eat it right after catching it!"
He had a great time today. Although he had a bad start, he gained a lot overall. He showed it off to his friends several times, and the photos he took were also impressive. Especially in the last two hours of the afternoon, he was so busy that he forgot about the "snake".
Feng Yi was not interested in the fish. He asked Tang Kui, "Do you raise chickens at home?"
Tang Kui was surprised, "Yes, there is a chicken farm."
Because we often have partners coming over and the chicken farm is too noisy, it is some distance away from here.
"Are you selling it?" Feng Yi asked.
"For sale! But there are not many."
In fact, they are generally not sold outside. Tang Kui's family mainly raises snakes, and the chicken farm is just a supplement. Some of the chickens are fed to snakes, and some are eaten by the family. They are raised separately.
Upon hearing about the farm chicken, Bai Lu also started to eat it, "I'll buy a few too!"
Tang Kui asked someone to prepare dinner. They did not wait here, but drove to buy chicken.
The chicken farm is some distance away from the fish pond, but it’s a quick drive away.
Compared to the scale of Tang Kui's parents' snake farming, this chicken farm is indeed not big.
Tang Kui did not take them inside the farm, but to a yard next to the chicken farm, where there was a chicken coop. Outside the coop, an old man was sitting on a wooden bench sorting vegetables.
Tang Kui led them over, "Uncle, I brought my friend over to catch some chickens."
The old man raised his head and glanced at Feng Yi and the other three. He smiled politely, neither enthusiastic nor cold. "Okay, but they have to choose by themselves. Tang Kui, you are not allowed to help!"
The chicken coop and the chicken farm are under the management of Uncle Tang, and the rules of the chicken coop are also set by Uncle Tang. However, it is not a big deal. The customers can choose by themselves and they can help to deal with it.
"That's fine." Tang Kui turned around and said to Feng Yi and the other three, "Then you pick one, and I'll help you catch it."
On the way here, Feng Yi and the other two had already agreed that each of them would buy two.
Tang Kui wanted to give it to them directly. It wasn’t a lot anyway, just 6 chickens, so it couldn’t be that expensive.
However, Feng Yi and the other two insisted on buying it, and when transferring the money from fishing, they directly paid for the two chickens at the market price.
Mo Xiaoguang was not interested in buying chickens at first, but when he saw Feng Yi and Bai Lu were going to buy chickens, he joined in the fun.
He usually doesn't pay attention to things like choosing chickens.
Mo Xiaoguang looked at Bai Lu, "Your family is in the catering business, can you help me choose? How do I choose? Which ones are more delicious?"
"This..." Bai Lu licked the corner of his mouth, "You'll know after you eat it."
Although his family is in the catering industry, he is not responsible for the selection of ingredients, he is only responsible for eating.
Seeing this, Tang Kui said directly: "Just pick whatever you want. My chickens usually eat grains, insects, vegetable leaves, etc. They are active and active, so just pick whatever you want!"
"Then just pick any one you like. Why are the sizes of these chickens so different?"
Mo Xiaoguang picked two that looked fat enough. He always liked to pick big ones.
Tang Kui explained to him: "This is a broiler chicken raised locally. The breed is different from the local chickens. They are big and have more meat."
"Then let's go with these two with more meat!" Mo Xiaoguang didn't care about anything else.
Bai Lu chose a capon and a hen, without being too picky.
Tang Kui helped them catch it and went to see Feng Yi.
Feng Yi raised his hand, "That hen, and that rooster over there."
The uncle of the Tang family, who was sitting nearby picking up vegetables, suddenly looked distraught. When Tang Kui tried to catch the rooster, he stopped him and said, "That one is not good. Change another one."
Tang Kui had been keeping an eye on his great-uncle, and smiled when he saw this, "Can't bear to let him go? Have you developed feelings for him?"
The rooster that Feng Yi picked was not the largest in the chicken coop, and was a little fierce. However, it was not the only chicken running around in the coop and acting aggressively. Generally speaking, it was not conspicuous in the chicken coop.
Uncle Tang was troubled. "It's not that they have developed feelings for each other, but this chicken ate a centipede today, a big one, and several chickens shared it. This one had a big reaction, and was much more aggressive than usual. I was planning to observe it for two more days."
Tang Kui was stunned for a moment, then looked at the chicken in his hand, "No wonder."
He was wondering why the rooster chosen by Feng Yi was so fierce today!
Eating centipedes is like eating turtles to chickens, it's a great tonic!
Moreover, what Uncle Tang was talking about was a big centipede, which must be poisonous. The rooster had an abnormal reaction after eating the poisonous supplement, so it would be difficult to let the customer buy it.
Theoretically, it should be fine.
Some people even think this is more nourishing.
However, people have different physiques, and supplements can become poisonous if consumed improperly.
In addition, centipedes seem to have become more poisonous after the abnormal climate period. Centipedes go directly into the chicken's stomach and do not go through the blood circulation, but they may produce some hormones during the digestion process. It is hard to say whether these have positive or negative effects on humans.
If something poisonous enters the blood circulation of a chicken, the chicken can withstand the toxin, but can humans do the same
To be on the safe side, it is better to stay in the chicken coop and observe for a few more days.
Uncle Tang muttered, "You're really good at picking."
There were only a few chickens that shared the centipede, and they could be counted on one hand. They were not conspicuous in this chicken coop. Not every chicken that ate the centipede had an abnormal reaction, but Feng Yi chose this one that had a reaction, and a big reaction at that!
Tang Kui pointed at Feng Yi and said to his great uncle, "Let me introduce you to this man, an expert at catching snakes. Now it seems that he is also quite good at picking chickens!"
"Hey, Brother Yi, why don't you change another one? This chicken's reaction is a little abnormal." Tang Kui said hurriedly.
"No need to change, just this one." Feng Yi said.
“…Are you sure? It might be poisonous.” Tang Kui asked.
"Um."
"Well... okay."
At this time, Mo Xiaoguang came over and said, "Brother Yi, how come you are so good at choosing? You picked the one that just swallowed a centipede! We are such good friends, can you tell me how to tell them apart?"
"Just pick one at random." Feng Yi said.
You can't say that he picked it based on smell. The big rooster that swallowed the centipede smelled particularly "fragrant"!
Of course, this fragrance may not be good for others.
The other chicken was specially chosen to have not eaten the centipede, as a reference.
It’s not that Feng Yi could smell that they had eaten centipedes at first. He just could tell that the smell of these chickens was different. The chickens that had eaten centipedes had a different "fragrance".
After selecting the chickens, Tang Kui found someone to help them slaughter, clean, and package them.
However, the two that Feng Yi picked were not killed by Tang Kui, but taken back alive.
He wants to test the poison.
Those two teeth haven't been used for a long time. I wonder if the toxicity has decreased or if the toxin has changed
