Feng Yi made a choice so quickly that it surprised everyone.
Generally speaking, after being informed of various possibilities, the guests will carefully consider and observe, analyze the shape and color of the snake eggs and so on, and then make the final choice.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Feng Yi said, "I went to the incubation room when Steve was recording the show."
Everyone understood. Since they had already been to the incubator and observed the python eggs in advance, it was no problem to make a choice so quickly.
The director made a gesture, and someone asked Feng Yi a prepared question:
“Why did you choose this egg?”
Everyone thought that Feng Yi, an expert certified by the Joint Guarantee Bureau, would conduct an in-depth analysis of the egg itself.
Then I heard:
"I've touched it before."
“… Can you recognize them after touching them? They are not arranged in the same order as in the incubator now.” said the program crew.
"Yes, I can recognize it."
"There are several eggs in the box. Why do you only touch it?"
“It was closest to my hand at the time.”
The man who took Feng Yi to the incubator thought back carefully: Feng Yi stretched out his hand, paused above the eggs for a while, and then touched the one under his palm. It seemed like this, but it also seemed like something was wrong.
However, it doesn’t matter whether Feng Yi made his choice because of these reasons.
"Do you have a favorite genetic strain? What color would you like it to be when it hatches?"
Feng Yi thought about it. He didn't pursue these. He just wanted to take this opportunity to try raising a snake. He had no preference for color. If he had to say, the original color of the wild one would be fine. He always felt that those with fancy colors were too delicate.
He doesn't need to please anyone, he just says what he thinks.
“I prefer primary colors.”
The zoo director, who had just finished dealing with some matters and rushed over, happened to hear Feng Yi's words and the smile on his face froze.
He didn't care how many genes were added to the python. Even if it had more genes, it could not be bought and sold publicly and could only be released in zoos.
but!
The color must be distinctive! Even people who don’t know the industry can tell it apart!
If it is close to the original color, most tourists will not buy it!
There are so many primary color reticulated pythons!
Body shape
That was more than ten years later!
At this stage and in the next few years, tourists will look for appearance, characteristics and uniqueness.
There are still more people in this world who are afraid of snakes, and people are more afraid of primary colors.
For example, both are six-meter reticulated pythons, a wild-type original-color reticulated python and an albino golden reticulated python. If these two are put together, which one do people think is more acceptable
It must be the latter!
The former gives people a feeling of being too fierce.
Moreover, he bought these eggs from the base, and he personally selected each one. The ones that failed to hatch were painful enough for him. If he could get a few more that were close to the original color, he would cry!
No matter what the various parties think, Feng Yi has made his choice and has no intention of changing it.
The people from the program crew made a mark on the egg.
Feng Yi took a step back and gave up his position.
When it was Steve's turn, he was not able to make a choice as quickly as Feng Yi.
No matter which egg it was, he looked at it as if it were his darling.
too difficult!
Excluding the one Feng Yi has already chosen, there are 5 more!
I like every one of them!
"Hmm..."
The man, who was about 1.80 meters tall, was so troubled that he whimpered.
However, people's hearts are still biased.
He was asked to choose only one out of five. After careful observation and analysis, Steve picked one.
"It."
Feng Yi gave him a thumbs up.
As expected of a senior, he has a keen eye!
The one Steve picked had the strongest life signal. Even without human assistance in cutting the egg, the little snake inside could successfully hatch.
When asked "Why choose this?", Steve gave a more professional explanation.
"So, Steve, what kind of patterns do you like?" asked the program staff.
"I'm fine with either! Genetic strains don't matter. I think that no matter what kind of genes they have, they all have beauty. For me, there is no distinction between ordinary genes and expensive genes, and I don't pursue complex genes. In my eyes, each one is unique in the world!"
This may sound hypocritical to others, but people who are familiar with Steve know that this is the kind of person he is.
The green anaconda that looks scary in the eyes of others is cute and adorable in his eyes, and his filter is thicker than the city wall!
Steve can always find the beauty of an artificially bred reticulated python, no matter what genes it has or what its body color and pattern are.
The production crew put different marks on that egg.
"Okay, next we'll invite the teacher in charge of cutting eggs in the zoo's incubator to come over and start the 'Six Consecutive Openings of the Python Box' phase!"
"Which one should I cut first?"
"Let's cut the four that are not marked first, and Feng Yi and Steve's last."
The program team has already adjusted the camera.
"Okay, let's start?" The man in charge of cutting the eggs looked at the headmaster standing next to him. The headmaster was their boss.
"Let's start." said the headmaster.
If it weren't for the filming of the show, they would have opened all the eggs yesterday.
The director was also nervous at this moment, praying silently in his heart: Don’t get close to the original color!
Steve was nervous too.
He can find the beauty in every snake, but people are close to each other and emotional matters are beyond our control.
Can the emotional investment be the same if you participate in feeding a child and if you are fed by others
He is also a layman.
While the program team is looking forward to it, they are also considering various options.
Feng Yi is the calmest and most leisurely one.
However, the strong emotional messages coming from other people and the tense atmosphere created also had some impact on him.
It's impossible to say that he wasn't looking forward to it at all, after all, it was the first snake he had ever raised.
Even though the butler always said that snakes were just a kind of food long ago, the old man didn't like these low-level animals very much.
But, you can’t eat it!
For Feng Yi, being able to participate in feeding a python is a special experience.
Feng Yi could not sense their body color, and was curious about what kind of little things would jump out of these six eggs from different snake nests
The employee who was cutting the eggs picked up the tool, cut open the snake egg at hand, lifted the eggshell, stuck his fingers in, and gently picked out the little python inside so that everyone could see its color clearly.
"Wow, this is... Titanium, Tiger? Maybe there are other genes stacked on it."
The belly is white and the back is gray, with some dark or light stripes, some continuous and some discontinuous.
In general, it is obviously different from the wild original color.
The little snake seemed a little confused and dazed when facing this world for the first time. It looked dazed and listless. After a while, it seemed to wake up and stick out its tongue to sense the surrounding air.
When the program crew was filming, Steve also took out his mobile phone to shoot, and even wanted to do it himself.
"Oh it's such a cutie!"
The head teacher was also very satisfied. His tense face relaxed and showed a slight smile.
This color is ok!
"Next."
The egg cutter carefully put it back into the egg and went to open another one.
Second, as soon as the eggshell was opened, the director breathed a sigh of relief.
This one is stable too!
"This is a purple-albino donut tiger..."
It is generally orange, with dark and light stripes, and some thin purple lines.
The director doesn't care what genes the cat has, but he is very satisfied with the warm-colored stripes.
The third egg.
The employee who was cutting the eggs picked out the little snake and looked at its body color. Just as he was about to speak, a voice next to him beat him to the punch.
Steve stared at the little snake and said excitedly, "Oh~ Lucy! Blue-eyed Lucy! The little baby is so charming!"
Another zoo employee at the scene also said: "We have a blue-eyed Lucy ball python in our zoo, but we don't have a reticulated python yet."
"Now we have it!" The head teacher was also very happy.
Other zoos also have blue-eyed Lucy reticulated pythons, but this is the first blue-eyed Lucy that belongs to their park, which is pretty good.
White snakes are a hot topic in themselves!
The fourth egg.
"Missing Red Super Tiger... This stripe is interesting."
It’s not the warm color the director likes, but it looks like, “It reminds me of a chipmunk.”
After hearing this, other people also thought it looked similar. Some people even took out their phones to search for pictures of chipmunks and brought them over for comparison.
“It’s a bit like that.”
"Okay, okay!" The headmaster was satisfied.
After these four eggs were opened, he was relieved. Even if the remaining two eggs were the original color, the guests would cover them, so he would not lose money!
The fifth egg.
"I come!"
Steve couldn't wait any longer and decided to open the eggs himself.
It was not the first time for him to do this, but compared with the experienced master craftsmen, he was still a little unfamiliar with it.
Taking the tool, Steve carefully cut open the eggshell, revealing the little orange snake inside.
The headmaster's eyes were already filled with smiles. Steve is awesome!
At this moment, Steve didn't care about other people's attitudes. All his attention was on the little cutie in the eggshell.
Just as I was about to use my fingers to pick the little cutie out, the little cutie moved.
The snake's head poked out of the eggshell, its big round red eyes looking outside, and its tongue making a puffing sound.
Then Zeng crawled out of the eggshell, eager to break into the world.
The program crew and zoo employees surrounding them all laughed.
“So spirited!”
"It probably won't go back into the egg."
"It's very healthy, but it's too energetic. It can still hatch without cutting the egg, right?"
"Stop it!"
Just as it was about to crawl out of the egg box, Steve gently pulled it back and held it close.
"Welcome to this world~ My lovely little tangerine~ Daddy loves you!"
Feng Yi: “…”
The name has been chosen!
The zoo staff and the production crew surrounded him, and whether out of genuine envy or compliments, they also congratulated Steve.
“This pattern is so cute!”
"It's a bit exotic, and there are white dots below the wavy pattern on the side, like a piece of jewelry! It's so beautiful!"
"Albino Sunflame? I wonder if there are other genes. This body color pattern is very pleasing!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Very adorable!" the headmaster responded happily.
It's the warm color he likes!
Make money, make money!
Only one left.
The director looked at Feng Yi with expectation.
Feng Yi looked at the employee who was cutting the eggs.
"You do it."
Steve is communicating with his beloved "little orange", so I won't bother him. In the end, the egg is still opened by the egg cutter.
Feng Yi himself doesn’t know how to operate it.
Why choose the one with the weakest life signal
Among these six snake eggs, it is indeed the weakest.
Zoos are not charitable organizations. They need to make profits, so of course there is a bias in resources and the level of care put into feeding is definitely different.
If a young snake is weak and has average body color, the zoo will definitely not pay much attention to it, and it may not be able to grow up successfully.
But if it has the Feng Yi label, its value will be extraordinary. Even if it turns out to be the original color that the zoo dislikes the most, the director will have people feed it carefully instead of letting it disappear.
The employee picked up the tools and carried out the final cracking of the eggs.
The program crew's camera turned towards him, and the other camera was facing Feng Yi.
However, no emotion could be seen on Feng Yi's face.
When the eggshell broke and the employee gently picked up the little snake inside with his fingers, his face changed.
"Something's not right."
"What's wrong?" The headmaster came over.
White background with some red spots. The little snake inside is not the original color.
The head teacher had a relaxed smile on his face, but when he heard "something is wrong", the smile fell again.
If it’s not a matter of body color, then it’s a matter of... life or death.
The employee picked out the snake a little, but not completely.
Feeling the slight movement coming from his fingers, he forced a smile and said, "It's not very energetic. Let it stay in there for a while."
It is alive, but its vitality does not seem to be very strong, far inferior to the previous ones.
Feng Yi wiped his hands and came over: "Let me take a look."
Employees give up their seats.
Feng Yi put his fingers into the eggshell, pressed them against the little snake, and controlled the active factors to seep into the little snake from his fingertips.
Feeling its life signal getting stronger, he was about to withdraw his finger.
The little snake inside slowly poked its head out, looked outside with its round black eyes, and stuck out its tongue.
When Feng Yi retracted his finger, it still wanted to crawl out.
Feng Yi touched its head with his fingers, then pressed it back.
You are so weak, just stay in the egg!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the little snake was still alive.
"This color is very strange." someone said.
Feng Yi also laughed and said, "It looks a bit like the fish I raise."
The headmaster standing next to him heard this and his eyes sparkled.
The employee who was cutting the eggs was preparing to analyze its possible genes: "This body color should have..."
The headmaster said, "Ah! This is koi color!"
He took a big step forward and pushed the employee to the back, glaring at him.
Shut up!
It is the koi color! It is!!
He must decide on this keyword in front of the camera!
As the director of the kindergarten, he knows how to create selling points.
Who understands so many genes
When you mention koi color, everyone will feel involved!
What a wonderful meaning!
The director smiled particularly brightly, and every wrinkle in the corners of his eyes fully expressed his excitement at the moment. He patted Feng Yi's arm:
"What a shame, none of them are close to the original color. I'm sorry to disappoint you, hahaha!"
He has already figured out how to promote it:
"You delivered this one yourself!"
Feng Yi: “…”
I'm not! I don't!
