Chapter 022, The Eagle King and the Snake Fight
(Second update, continue to collect, recommend, reward...)
At the beginning, they were a little confused, but after the Liu family made a scrambled egg with tomatoes and ate them by themselves, they realized that everyone came for these brocade eggs.
However, Sun Xiaoping didn't send many first batches of eggs, only fifty or sixty. When it was almost used, Mo Yinhua called back and asked if there were any eggs.
"Xiaofan is going to use eggs to hatch chickens now. It will take until a thousand chicks are hatched before eggs are delivered to you." Sun Xiaoping said to her daughter.
"Mom, I still don't believe that those eggs were delicious before, but now I have eaten them, they are really delicious. Many customers come back and still want them?" Mo Yinhua said.
"Oh, silly daughter, I said that those eggs were for you two, why did you give them to others? Your brother said that these eggs cost two or three dollars each outside. Do you charge for others to eat? Remember to raise the price. Now everyone in the village wants to buy eggs, but your brother hasn't sold them."
"That's right, we know. Then wait until Xiaofan has extra eggs and we will come back to get some." Mo Yinhua then knew the reason.
"Sorry, the kind of brocade eggs that everyone likes are gone for the time being. But, it will be available after a while, and we will issue a notice at that time."
Mo Yinhua and his wife had to explain the source of the golden eggs to customers, and also helped to promote the golden pheasant he raised to his younger brother. Although there are no golden pheasants for sale yet, they will always sell chickens in the future.
Mo Xiaofan rented forty or fifty hens to hold the children from the villagers. Each hen gave them thirty eggs and put them in the egg nest, so they could instinctively hatch the chicks.
In just about twenty days, thirty eggs will hatch into small pheasants one after another. Each nest can hatch about twenty-four or five chicks. It will only be moved into the pine forest after more than ten days of hens.
From October to November, more than 700 chicks were added. Mo Xiaofan predicted that it would not increase to 1,500 chick pheasants until the end of December, but now the chicks will gradually grow into half-big chickens by then, and it is estimated that they will grow up and lay eggs in February and March after the Spring Festival.
At the end of October, more than fifty eggs could be harvested every day. In addition to hatching chicks, more than ten eggs could be produced every day. So Mo Xiaofan began to sell eggs in the village on a small scale.
Although it only costs two yuan per person, not all villagers can afford it. Most families will buy a small amount of eggs for children to eat, so adults naturally are reluctant to eat them every day.
"Cry..."
That day, Mo Xiaofan had just returned home for lunch, and had just eaten when he suddenly heard the loud cry of the Eagle King from afar. When he went out, he happened to see the Eagle King swooping into the pine forest in an instant.
Mo Xiaofan's heart moved. Could it be that the Eagle King discovered some animal attacking the pheasant and hurriedly ran up the mountain. There are many chicks in the pine forest now, and it would be a pity to lose it.
Sure enough, as soon as Mo Xiaofan approached the pine forest, he heard a scattered sound from the pine forest. Many golden pheasants were screaming and flying around, hiding everywhere.
Mo Xiaofan rushed into the pine forest quickly and ran to the middle to see that a cauliflower snake as thick as a wine glass was like a ball, making a scream, confronting the Eagle King in the air.
Not far from the snake, there was a pheasant lying in a pool of blood, but her body was still twitching, and it was obviously dying because it was attacked by the snake.
"Cry..."
Feeling Mo Xiaofan's arrival, the Eagle King seemed to want to make contributions in front of him, so he screamed and pounced on the snake, waving his sharp claws, and pecking his sharp mouth hard.
"hiss……"
The snake letter stretched out long and suddenly made a sharp scream. Then the snake's body bowed and shot towards the Eagle King in the air like lightning. The Eagle King flapped his wings and soared into the air while pecking down.
"Bang..."
The snake did not bite the Eagle King, but twisted its body, but avoided its sharp pecking, fell back to the ground, coiled its body into a ball, raised its head high, and made an attack at any time.
Although Mo Xiaofan felt a little heartbroken and lost another pheasant, being able to see the eagle and snake fighting was also a kind of harvest. He heard that there were martial artists in ancient times who had learned some unique skills from the eagle and snake fighting, but they didn't know whether it was true or false.
He did not intervene, but watched quietly from the side. The Eagle King kept pounced on Nanchang and headed towards the snake, and the snake also dodged and counterattacked. The two actually fought back and forth, which was quite similar.
However, Mo Xiaofan found that the pine forest was not conducive to the Eagle King's performance. Its wings were stretched out to be about 1.5 meters. If it was in an open area, it might move more sensitively and its attack power would be stronger.
But the snake was stuck on the huge rock. Later, Mo Xiaofan realized that it was reluctant to throw away the pheasant because it was its spoil, and it wanted to defeat the Eagle Queen to enjoy the delicious food.
"Bang..."
Mo Xiaofan looked at it for more than ten minutes. Although the Eagle King had pecked the snake's body once and brought some scars to it, he could not kill it for a short time. He picked up a branch and shot it over, nailing the snake's head.
"Cry..."
When the Eagle King saw Mo Xiaofan take action, he cried in a low voice, looking a little disappointed. Mo Xiaofan smiled and said to it: "The inside of the pine forest is not conducive to your performance. You will be even more powerful outside. And you have already hurt it. Although you have lost a chicken, it is not your fault. Go back."
The Eagle King actually nodded, flapped his wings and soared into the sky, flew out of the pine forest, and flew into the sky. Mo Xiaofan went over to pick up the pheasant and the snake, and found that the snake weighed two or three pounds, while the pheasant weighed more than four pounds. He thought he could make a dragon and phoenix soup when he went back.
"Xiaofan, isn't this a pheasant? It's the pheasant you raised? Why did it die?" When I was down the mountain, I met a neighbor and asked.
"I was bitten to death by a snake. Is this cauliflower snake not poisonous, right?" Mo Xiaofan asked the snake raised his other hand.
"This cauliflower snake is not poisonous and can be eaten with soup. This snake is not small, it must weigh two or three pounds." The neighbor said enviously.
There are many snakes in the mountains, and villagers often go up the mountain to catch snakes and eat them home, so the villagers are familiar with them. Mo Xiaofan actually knows cauliflower snakes, but only after asking the older generation, they can rest assured.
"What a big cauliflower snake. Let your father peel it and simmer it. Hey, this is not a pheasant, why is it like the chicken you raise?" The mother saw what Mo Xiaofan brought back, first looked at the snake, then looked at the golden pheasant and said.
"Yes, I was bitten to death by a snake, and I beat the snake to death. Let's cook the soup together, make a pot of dragon and phoenix soup, and ask my sister and brother-in-law to come back to eat it in the evening." Mo Xiaofan said to his mother.
