Chapter 143 Buying kittens, chickens, ducks and goose, the little fox breaks through
In the backyard of Li Xiang's house, along the high wall, rapeseed flowers bloomed brilliantly, and many butterflies and bees were flying inside, collecting nectar.
The spring breeze blows, and the fragrance is fragrant.
But this is not the most beautiful time. In another ten days and a half, the rapeseed flowers will fully bloom and be extremely gorgeous.
The kittens were attracted by the graceful dance of butterflies, lurking and jumping around in the flower fields. However, they were too small and could not catch the flying butterflies, but they never tired of it.
The mother cat takes this opportunity to teach them various hunting skills.
As spring blooms, the kittens are gradually growing up, and the mother cat is almost finished raising them, and it is estimated that they will start to go into heat again soon.
Originally, Li Xiang wanted to take it for sterilization because it was too old and it would be more dangerous to get pregnant and give birth. But later, Li Xiang often fed them elixir porridge. Not only did the kittens grow well, but the old civet cat also had good health. After receiving a significant improvement, Li Xiang thought it would be better to let nature take its course.
After all, neutering is not necessarily a good thing. For cats themselves, they want to reproduce in their genes. There are also many risks in surgery, as well as some sequelae and psychological shadows.
If there are too many babies at that time, they can be raised in other places, such as the Holy Land Garden.
There's a cafe over there, a cat cafe?
Li Xiang did not go to the Hailuogou Primeval Forest to sweep the mountain again, because he had basically swept it once, and the elixir in the system warehouse was enough for the time being, and he had "rations" for three to five months.
He rode his tricycle again to the town to buy wine from the pure grain shochu workshop.
The boss was very happy to see him. Li Xiang picked 60 kilograms of the best wine. The boss helped carry it to the car and gave him a jar of newly brewed rice wine.
This rice wine is also called glutinous rice wine. It is very delicious when used to cook rice dumplings.
There are also other recipes, such as glutinous rice with brown sugar and eggs, glutinous rice with steamed apples, and white fungus, corn and glutinous rice soup, which are especially good for women.
Then Li Xiang went to the vegetable market, planning to buy some vegetables, seasonings and vegetable seeds.
Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, and there is plenty of rain. It is a good season for sowing vegetables.
He had too much energy in the past few days after returning home, so he plowed the open space in the front yard and back yard over and over again, sorting out neat and flat vegetable plots. The soil grains were even and fine, loose and the humidity was moderate. He also buried the farm's own soil at the bottom. The organic fertilizer produced, grandma said, it would be a pity not to grow vegetables on such a good land.
Grandma saved some vegetable seeds last year, but there were relatively few varieties. Anyway, there are a lot of seeds on the market now, so Li Xiang went to town to replenish some.
He came to a store that had a large number of seeds for sale. He looked around and picked, asking the boss from time to time which brand of seeds was better. Finally, he chose more than ten packets of seeds and left.
There are loofah, winter melon, bitter gourd, pumpkin, eggplant, cowpea, green bean, goose bean, cucumber, gourd, potato, pepper, water spinach, tomato, coriander, day lily, cabbage and so on.
In addition to ordinary tomatoes, Li Xiang also bought some cherry tomatoes, also called cherry tomatoes, which taste better when eaten raw. They are available in red and yellow varieties.
The yellow one also has a nice name, Huang Guifei or Golden Queen.
Then the seeds of the cabbage he bought were different from the rapeseed grown last year.
Chinese cabbage, also called Chinese cabbage, is a variant of Chinese cabbage and is divided into two types, white and red.
Li Xiang also bought both, and only primary school students took multiple-choice questions.
Cabbage moss and red cabbage moss are both sweet and crunchy, making them perfect for stir-frying bacon.
Although cabbage and rapeseed are both Brassicaceae and Brassica plants, and their flowers are very similar, they are different species and have different uses.
Choy sum is mainly used as a vegetable. It is thicker, sweet and crisp, and the young leaves are oval, softer and greener. You can tell at a glance that it can be eaten as a vegetable, while rapeseed is more slender and will grow taller. The leaves are triangular or diamond-shaped, yellowish-green in color, and harder to the touch. They are mainly used for flower viewing and harvesting seeds for oil extraction.
The rapeseed flowers are golden and brilliant, and the sea of flowers formed is a beautiful scenery that many people like.
Not only people like it, but also bees, butterflies, cats, dogs, and little foxes.
Of course, the tender tips of rapeseed can also be pinched and fried, but they are not as tender and delicious as the cabbage heart.
Outside the market, there was a street where many people set up stalls. During this season, there were many chickens, ducks and geese for sale, so Li Xiang went over to pick some.
Of course, the mutated biological identification function is also turned on, but they are all ordinary products. You can buy them back and raise them to eat eggs, or you can kill them and put them on the table during holidays.
There are also some kittens and puppies for sale, and the system does not prompt. Forget about the dogs. I already have Erhuang and a little fox at home. It would be bad if I buy a few more and ruin their relationship. But the kitten Li Xiang Decided to buy some back.
The five kittens in the family are all brothers and sisters. Cats have no concept of ethics. It would be bad if they grow up and act randomly, so Li Xiang picked seven good-looking kittens from different stall owners. There are males and females, take them back and let them love freely.
Although "chaos" cannot be completely avoided, there are more choices and the chance is smaller. Otherwise, they can only be given away or scattered to be raised.
Seven kittens meowed wildly in a bamboo cage. They didn't know what kind of happy family they would enter.
At Li Xiang's house, there is elixir porridge, plenty of dried fish, and you can often eat rare spicy strips. Although they are ordinary creatures now, the offspring they can reproduce can become extraordinary. This is one of the reasons why Li Xiang does not neuter his mother cat.
The mother cat is one of three extraordinary and amazing female cats in the litter.
System: "A fifth-level mutant creature, a red-crested silver-feathered goose, and a third-level mutant creature, a black-beaked black-feathered goose, were detected."
Li Xiang was suddenly pleasantly surprised. He finally met the village bully Goose who had extraordinary potential and strong combat power!
There were some chickens, ducks and geese in another bamboo cage in his carriage, but they had been bought a long time ago and were definitely not these.
Li Xiang looked towards the road ahead. Sure enough, about ten meters away, there was another seller selling chickens, ducks and goslings, so he walked over.
The other party had nine goslings left. Except for one with black feathers, the rest were almost the same.
"Boss, how do you sell these goose seedlings?"
The boss, an aunt, said with a smile: "Twenty yuan for a female and ten yuan for a male. My goose is good, easy to feed, and it lays many and big eggs."
Li Xiangxin said that this aunt was kind enough to sell the male and female geese separately, because most people, especially young people, cannot tell the difference between male and female geese. Everyone who wants to buy chicks, ducks and goslings wants to buy the female ones. Then the male ones can’t be sold.
Some stall owners bully buyers because they don't understand, and they only select public stalls, but the prices are still the same.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Then I want it all, how much do you think it will cost?" Li Xiang said.
The aunt was immediately happy and grabbed the goose and taught Li Xiang how to distinguish the gender, mainly by observing whether there is a bulge on the buttocks, and then looking at several aspects such as head characteristics, shape, coat color, and nostril shape.
Some people can't tell the difference between male and female goslings, not even ducklings and goslings. Because these two little things looked very similar when they were young.
Especially for people in the city, because they have never been exposed to it, it is very classic, and they will confuse leeks and wheat seedlings.
In fact, Li Xiang can tell the difference by himself without having to be taught by his aunt. There are tutorials on the Internet, and there is a jingle about distinguishing male and female goslings.
"Young man, there are four males and five females, a total of 140 yuan."
"Okay." Li Xiang paid the money readily, and the aunt enthusiastically helped to catch the goose and put it into Li Xiang's bamboo cage.
Li Xiang returned home with a full load. The tricycle couldn't hold it anymore. He bought a total of seven kittens, eighteen chicks, twelve ducklings, and fifteen goslings.
There was "constant singing" along the way, and the little ones were very lively.
After returning home, I threw the kitten to the mother cat, but the mother cat didn't want it and even chased it away. The other kittens also resisted, and the little cow cat and the little civet cat even vented their anger at the strange cats.
"You idiots, these are your future wives and husbands!"
Li Xiang had no choice but to raise the kittens in another place. He had not yet made a special cat nest, so he took a large bamboo basket and filled it with old clothes as their dormitory.
These new kittens are actually not familiar with each other. They were picked by Li Xiang from different stalls and are not related by blood. However, they were nestled in the same cage along the way. They experienced a journey together and arrived in a completely unfamiliar environment. , relatively speaking, they are closer to each other and can "hug together to keep warm".
But as time goes by, the new cats and the natives will definitely get along with each other.
The chicks, ducks and geese were left to the care of grandma, and a piece of land was enclosed with a net in the chicken shed to feed them. Since the little guys were too young, they definitely couldn't live with the adult chickens and ducks.
The mother cat brought the kittens over to see these little things, and the chickens, ducks and geese were so scared that they ran around. When Erhuang and the little fox came over, the little guys hid in the corner and shivered even more.
Li Xiang drove away the "big beasts" who were watching so that they would not frighten the baby.
Afterwards, Li Xiang specially called the little fox and told it to protect the new friends and not let the weasels get them.
"Tweet~" The little fox man stood up and patted his chest to express receipt.
In the middle of the night, Li Xiang heard a sharp fox cry and was full of excitement. When he came out, he saw a ball of fiery red flying through the soapstone jungle, passing through it like light and shadow.
However, he was naturally not as fast as Li Xiang. In a flash, he arrived in front of the little fox. The little fox excitedly jumped into his arms and screamed "chirp".
"Breakthrough? Let me take a look." Li Xiang stroked its smooth, satin-like fur. The little fox cooperated, squinting its eyes, quite flattering, and allowed Li Xiang's spiritual power to enter its body.
"This little thing is really talented." Li Xiang discovered that the little fox had condensed the first vortex of spiritual power and awakened the first power, agility.
Unlike the Divine Walking Technique, the Divine Walking Technique is good at going straight and running long distances, while the Light Agility Technique is more focused on tossing and turning in a small area and changing body techniques.
Erhuang ran over, with a look of envy on the dog's face.
