Chapter Eleven: Fat Bird

  Yuan Xi had just gotten off the car when a ball of fiery red rushed towards him, and then his vision turned pitch black.

  His head was full of black lines, and he reached out to pull down the ball of fur that had pounced on his face. Then, he stared into a pair of green bean-like eyes, and Yuanchuan fell silent. This seemed to be a bird's face...

  The little green bean seemed a bit stunned too, staring blankly for a while before starting to chirp and struggle with its limbs.

  It flapped its wings violently, shedding a pile of fiery red feathers. Yuanyu was startled and let out a loud "ah-choo!" as he released it. As soon as he did, the bird's energy surged even more, its round body flapping its wings wildly as it took to the air with a loud whooshing sound. Unfortunately, it was too fat, and its wings couldn't support its weight, so after flying for a short while, it spotted a landing spot and plopped down.

  Yuanchi's head sank... His forehead had been completely conquered by the black line.

  That damned fat bird actually perched on his head!

  Damn it! Fat bird, you think you're a little sparrow? Your round and plump body is almost like a watermelon! Are you trying to crush me to death?!

  The fat bird was completely unaware of the thick killing intent under its buttocks, it only felt that it was standing very high and looking very far. Its bird life had never been so bright! With a heroic chest, it couldn't help but let out another series of "gugugu" cries.

  The scene made everyone who was watching almost laugh out loud.

  At this time, the long workers in the breeding area rushed over and saw this scene. They were amused in their hearts but didn't dare to show it on their faces. However, they also didn't know what to do.

  The fat bird perched on the guest's head, he reached out to grab it but felt it wasn't quite right, didn't grab it, oh dear, what kind of hospitality is this, will he be fired... suddenly became somewhat at a loss.

  Yuanchuan wanted to pull down the fat bird, but who knew that the fat bird was very clever and its claws tightly grasped Yuanchuan's hair, sitting steadily as Mount Tai, not moving a single thread...

  Yuanchuan pulled for half a day, his scalp hurt, he was really speechless, and couldn't pull it down, so he had to ask what's going on.

  He stuttered and stammered his way through a long speech, which served to clarify the whole situation.

  It turned out to be a Suzaku bird, and Wang Qingnian's breeding farm had a batch of Suzaku birds, with more than 30 birds. Recently, due to the good sales of Suzaku bird eggs, Wang Qingnian introduced another batch of young birds, but these Suzaku birds are identical in appearance, making it impossible to distinguish between males and females.

  So they were all raised to adulthood, those that could lay eggs were females and those that couldn't were males. And these males were not very useful, still made trouble, so as a rule they would be caught and slaughtered for meat.

  But this fat bird has not laid eggs all the time, and some people who know the business say that it looks like a mother, so they have kept it for many days. However, in more than ten days, it still hasn't laid an egg, and it can be basically confirmed as a male.

  So today the long worker wanted to catch it and slaughter it, but unexpectedly this fat bird was very clever. In a chaotic scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping, no one could catch it. It even managed to perch on top of the guest's head.

  Emotions are fat birds for survival...

  After listening to this, Wang Qingnian was very lively and he also became familiar with Yuanchuan. He smiled and joked: "Little boy, this fat bird knows that your new master is a savior, and won't let you go."

  When he said that, others just smiled, but Zhang Gong was startled. He had long heard that the farm was going to change hands, but he didn't expect that today the new owner would come to inspect, and then something like this happened... his job... In an instant, Zhang Gong's face turned a little pale.

  Yuanchi was meticulous and noticed the expression of the long worker, but he didn't say much. He just pulled at the fat bird and said to it: "Alright, alright, I won't kill you. How about we raise you instead?"

  It's unclear if it was a coincidence, but after hearing Yuanxi say that, the fat bird really loosened its grip. With one swift movement, its chubby body landed steadily in Yuanxi's arms, letting out a series of proud and contented clucks towards Zhang Gong.

  Wang Qingnian laughed and said: "This fatty is really understanding of human nature, haha!"

  Yuanchi was speechless with laughter, but this fat bird had taken a liking to him and refused to leave his side. Yuanchi had no choice but to hold onto it as they toured the breeding farm.

  The fat bird took advantage of its geographical location, walking with its head held high and chest out, looking very spirited. In front of the Su tou birds, white-striped cows, spotted pigs, and fire gazelles, it had gained a lot of face.

  The breeding area opened up by Wang Qingnian is not small, at least three mu. The number of Su Tou birds is relatively large, occupying a larger area, the white-spotted cow is for milk production, with twelve heads, and the spotted pig is also popular in Blue Star, Wang Qingnian has just bought twenty piglets, all of which are white and plump, looking like they can grow fat.

  This fire gazelle is quite unexpected for Yuan Xi, fiery red and fluffy, like a cloud. Wang Qingnian takes good care of them, each one looks very clean, not too big in size, but rather like a small pet.

  Yuanchi asked with interest. Wang Qingnian said: "Don't underestimate these little guys, they are crossbreeds I introduced from outside, although their heads are small, their milk production is comparable to a white-spotted cow, and after weaning, they will continue to grow, and when they grow up, the meat quality is exceptionally tender..."

  Yuanchi listened and found that these little guys were all treasures, and couldn't help but ask: "Then why not raise them in large quantities?"

  Wang Qingnian sighed: "I think so too, but this fire antelope is a hybrid and has no reproductive function. After raising a batch, I have to go buy new calves again. Although the output is large, the cost is also much higher. Calculating back and forth, the profit is not much different from raising white-striped cattle and spotted pigs."

  It turned out to be like this, and Yuan Xi also felt a little regret after hearing it.

  Wang Qingnian also said: "I raised this batch this year, just to sell some fresh ones and boost the popularity of the farm. It's a bit difficult to make money from them."

  Yuanchuan nodded, understanding in his heart. However, he still had a few more thoughts about the Fire Goat, if he could breed it himself, the cost would be greatly reduced, and later on, it could produce both milk and meat. Yuanchuan also gently stroked the thick wool of the Fire Goat, thinking to himself that this wool probably also has a market. With its whole body being valuable, the profit would be even higher.

  It took a whole hour to walk from head to toe, Wang Qingnian was originally a fast-talking person, especially since he extremely liked Yuanxi, this road even more hated not to tell Yuanxi all the knowledge he knew, some insights and experiences were all told to Yuanxi without exception.

  Yuan Xi listened with a sincere heart, and he was also extremely grateful in his heart. Meeting Wang Qingnian was indeed his good fortune. Others treated him with such sincerity, and he remembered it clearly in his heart, so he would naturally repay them with the same sincerity.

  This breeding area is different from the planting area. Although the planting area has the largest area, it uses fewer people's hands, and only three long workers can handle it. However, the breeding area, although small in size, uses five times as many workers as the planting area, with a full 15 people.

  This is also because the current technology is relatively advanced. Wang Qingnian, due to his daughter's studies, has accepted more machinery in this regard. The planting area, from sowing to irrigation and fertilization, pest control, and finally harvesting, all have corresponding machines. These machines are very expensive, but because they are only used at fixed points and times, they can be rented, which saves a lot of money and does not require additional labor costs.

  And three long workers patrol in the field every day, pay attention to the growth of crops, and grasp the growth progress.

  But the breeding area is different, such as the configuration of pasture and feed, the cleaning of the breeding area, and the grazing and egg collection of cattle and sheep... These happen every day, although there are also corresponding machines, but the price is too expensive, it's not worth it.

  Moreover, the scale of the breeding area is relatively small, and even if people take care of it all day, not too many people are needed. Fifteen people are already very easy, so there is no need to use machines.

  After watching for a while, the fat bird in Yuan Xi's arms had actually fallen asleep...Yuan Xi twitched his mouth, he deeply suspected whether this was a bird or a pig.

  This trip, Yuan Xi and Yuan Yu were both very satisfied. Wang Qingnian's farm, at the current federal prices, even if it costs 5 million credit points, there will be people who will buy it. But Wang Qingnian only wants 2 million credit points from Yuan Xi and the others, which is almost like giving it away for free.

  Both sides had just sat down and started talking about the price again. Wang Qingnian was very insistent: "Younger brother, Xiaoxi, you don't have to be polite, I, Wang Qingnian, may not be rich and wealthy, but money is not something I take seriously. As long as we work hard and do a good job, money can always be earned again. However, feelings are not something that can be sought after. Especially younger brother, you saved my father, consider it as me repaying the favor!"

  Wang Qingnian said so much, but Yuan Yuchen wasn't good at talking, and his mouth was clumsy, so he couldn't keep up with the conversation.

  Yuanchuan took a look at Yuanyu Cheng and knew what he was thinking. His family had long made up their minds, they absolutely couldn't owe such a great favor, it wasn't reasonable. Although they did save Old Wang, to be honest, anyone with a conscience wouldn't have just stood by and watched, let alone that in the end nothing bad happened and both sides were fine. And yet they still wanted to take advantage of this kindness to gain such a huge benefit, Yuanchuan's family couldn't do that.

  Yuan Cheng couldn't say it, so Yuan Xi spoke on his behalf: "Uncle Wang, my parents and I have also discussed this for a long time. We know that our two families are destined to be together, and we understand your intentions. You said that you don't care about money, but what you value is the emotional connection between us. Your way of thinking warms our hearts, but actually, our intentions are the same as yours. As long as our feelings are genuine, even if we're far apart, frequent visits will only bring us closer."

  Yuanyu's words were soft and gentle, but they set their attitude very upright, also showing that the two families' interactions should be based on mutual respect, support and courtesy. This cleverly awakened Wang Qingnian, reminding him that in interacting with others, one must show mutual respect and progress gradually, only then can they go far.

  Wang Qingnian was so old-fashioned that he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, unable to grasp the implied meaning.

  Yuanyu saw him like this, smiled and said jokingly: "Uncle, don't say anything about repaying kindness or not repaying kindness anymore. I always feel that you are trying to cut ties with us."

  His words stunned Wang Qingnian for a moment, but then he burst out laughing and patted Yuanxi's shoulder, saying: "You little scoundrel, you're still trying to provoke me."

  Yuanxi smiled slyly like a little fox, but he was still quite happy in his heart. He said: "Alright alright, Uncle Wang can't win an argument with you, I admit defeat, whatever you say goes."

  In the end, Wang Qingnian agreed on a price of 35 million credit points, including 300 mu of land, orchards, vegetable gardens and breeding areas. He also insisted that they take the small Western-style house.

  Yuanyu didn't push back again, and smiled as he agreed, both of them going to the administrative office on Blue Island to register.

  Because they had previously bought a house on Blue Star and the Yuan family had already registered as residents, the procedures for buying and selling land were not so cumbersome.

  But in the end, when it came to determining the owner of the land, a dispute arose.

  The author has something to say: It's been really hot lately, girls pay attention to heatstroke prevention!
