0073 Investigation
What Xu Yi didn't know was that there were no cherries in the provincial capital, and cherries had to be transported from other places, and the cherries on the market at this time were all cherries grown in greenhouses.
In order to transport for long distances, plus the need to sell in supermarkets, so the cherries transported to the provincial capital in boxes have to be picked raw, and they are inseparable from preservatives.
Really ripe cherries are not conducive to preservation, let alone long-distance transportation, so they are not common in provincial capitals at all.
Xu Yi just watched the cherries in the space ripen, and he didn't expect that the cherries cultivated in the open air hadn't come down at all, so the price was so expensive.
Moreover, Xu Yi is only a fruit in the supermarket on campus, and he can't buy better cherries in the market outside at this price.
Such expensive cherries can't satisfy the appetite of these two foxes, but what else can they satisfy, this stumps Xu Yi, do you really want to buy raw meat?
After all, this fox is a carnivore, and it is estimated that it is difficult to ensure nutrition just by eating fruits.
Thinking like this, Xu Yi had no choice but to walk out of the campus, inquire all the way, find the vegetable market, buy half a catty of pork, and bring it back to the dormitory.
Feeding the fox raw meat might cause the fox to contract Toxoplasma gondii or something, but these are known things after all, and it is always better than taking something out of that inexplicable space.
Besides, I seem to have seen reports before that the tigers fed in the zoo will be fed live food regularly in order to maintain their wildness, and I think this will not avoid the problem of parasite infection.
Even if it is released into the wild, I haven't seen any fox who has the ability to live and cook, right, in the novel, there is a fox who has the ability to make a fire and cook, and he has already gone to confuse sentient beings, pampered himself, and roasted rabbits in the wild?
Besides, the management here in the provincial capital is still relatively standardized, and there is no chance of sick and dead meat, so there is not much of a problem.
Although there are rumors of bird flu everywhere this year, Xu Yi knows that the infections are all in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there is no case in this province, which also makes Xu Yi feel a lot more relieved.
Xu Yi found a fruit knife to cut the meat into thin strips, and then threw it to the little fox, hoping that this would satisfy the two little ancestors.
When the two little foxes saw the meat, their eyes lit up, but they just twisted it and came over to smell the smell and turned around and walked away.
Xu Yi, who had no choice but to turn on his mobile phone to check the Internet, and then followed the map, ran again and again, spent hundreds of yuan before and after, and finally came to a result that made him cry and laugh: all kinds of milk, milk powder, beef and mutton, and even fish and shrimp found on the Internet are all tips for raising pet foxes, and these two little things are not eaten!
Although it is said that it will take a week for the test results to come out, Xu Yi can't wait until a week later to feed these two little foxes, for such a long time, even if a big living person is a big person, he may starve to death, let alone these two little foxes.
Anyway, let's get them some cherries to eat first, it's better than letting them go on a hunger strike and wait for death.
Let the two of them be raised in the house first, and tomorrow go to the zoo to see what the conditions are, if it is really possible, then wait for the results to come out, if there are pathogenic bacteria or other things, there will be targeted treatment, and it will be confirmed that it is safe, and the two little foxes are no different, so they will be sent directly to the zoo.
Thinking like this, Xu Yi closed his eyes, thought about the inside of the space, and then fixed the picture to the cherry tree.
There were more cherries on the ground than before, and there was not a single visible ground under the whole tree, like a thick circular carpet covering the whole ground tightly.
"Eighty pounds and eighty, so much, if this can be sold for money, how much money does it have to be sold!" Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
But obviously, he didn't know that at this time, some people who had tasted the space cherries had already regarded the offer of five hundred yuan as the clearance price.
"Sister Guan, this cherry is really delicious and sweet, and it is full of elasticity, this taste is like eating jelly!" Xiao Wang, who spoke, his eyes were squinting, even jelly cost dozens of yuan a pound this year, and there was a little gelatin, pectin and flavor or something, this pure natural jelly, I felt it for the first time.
"Yes, it's the first time I've eaten such a jelly-like cherry, in fact, when I saw the test sheet, I felt that this taste must be worth looking forward to, no matter what it is, this taste and texture depend on the content of the ingredients inside, and what is even more rare is that although the pectin content is high, but it doesn't feel sour at all, but it is fragrant, sweet and delicious, such a good cherry if you can eat it every day. Xiao Liu also sighed.
"It's just that this cherry is only more than this month, and the rest of it will be sprayed with preservatives, and the fruit flies should come out soon, this thing without pesticide residues, do you dare to guarantee that you can't eat insects?" Xiao Li said narrowly next to him, Xiao Liu's real name is Liu Jing, and this Liu Guoguo's name came out of him, and now, the whole unit doesn't care about her name Liu Jing, and calls her Liu Guoguo.
"Fruits of this quality, even with preservatives, can they be worse than those that claim to be natural and pollution-free. What is a fruit fly, it should be used to supplement protein?" Liu Jing glanced at him, closed her eyes and felt the fragrance in her mouth.
"That's right, at most, just soak this in salt water and wash it a few more times, what preservative, what fruit flies, it's not a problem. Xie Baodong also said.
"Hehe, if you want to eat fruit every day, you have to have this preservation technology. Besides, such a good cherry, can he use any preservation technology, I guess it will be snatched up as soon as it goes on the market. Xiao Li said.
"So, let's buy more this time, at least once to enjoy it, it's hard to say whether we can eat like this again in this life." Sister Guan sighed, such cherries are much stronger than her three or four hundred yuan to buy a pound of cherries, she really didn't eat enough, but she was embarrassed to take it herself, after all, these cherries everyone decided to give them to Xiao Wang, she decided, if the inspection came, if he really felt that five hundred yuan a pound was too cheap, he would contact him directly at that time, how much the price, he would open it.
"Let's work, really, maybe they won't sell it yet, hurry up and get it, let's try to finish the meal in half an hour." Xie Baodong said.
Of course, Xu Yi, who didn't have a tailwind ear, had no way of knowing these words, and he was carrying cherries out of the space one by one.
But even if he knew that the cherries he didn't dare to take to feed the fox could be sold for this price, he could only grit his teeth and feed them in distress, the money was naturally lacking, but how to say that these two little foxes were also two lives, at most, he had to hurry up and send them away, or simply move out early.
Just looked at the bucket containing chlorhexidine solution in Xu Yi's hand, and suddenly a cherry appeared out of thin air, and quickly spread a layer under the bucket one after another before stopping.
Xu Yi opened his eyes, only to feel a little dizzy, just for a while, he found that it was a very laborious thing to continuously move things out of the space like this, at least even if it was a piece of clothing before, when he took it out, he only felt dizzy.
After waiting for a few minutes, Xu Yi went to dry the cherries in the bucket and then washed them with clean water.
Cleaning like this doesn't guarantee that the cherries are completely safe, but it's a little more reassuring than feeding them directly.
The two little foxes smelled the rich smell of cherries in the air, and they chirped even more anxiously, and waited until Xu Yi poured out the contents of the food box, and then poured in the cherries after cleaning, and the two little foxes crawled directly to the front of the food box and ate it.
The next morning, Xu Yi got up early, looked at the little foxes who were sleeping soundly with each other, Xu Yi sighed, poured all the remaining cherries in the bucket into the food box, Xu Yi locked the door and walked out of the campus, Xu Yi has nothing to do today, and is going to go to see the environment of the zoo.
More than an hour later, Xu Yi was already standing in the zoo and walked towards the fox house according to the schematic diagram on the back of the ticket.
In fact, as soon as Xu Yi approached the zoo, he felt that his idea of sending two foxes here was really a bit unreliable.
I don't know if it's because my nose has become sensitive recently, or if it's my own delusion, standing at the upfront ticket office, Xu Yi can faintly feel a faint smell wafting out of the gate of the zoo.
What he saw and heard along the way completely broke Xu Yi's illusions.
The whole zoo, all the way through, the buildings are heavy, and the stench near the cages of elephants and camels is even more stinking.
Even the giant panda is dirty, and the back half of the white hair is all dyed yellow, and many people take pictures, and it just looks at it stupidly.
From time to time, some people even pointed to this giant panda and said that it was dirty and disgusting......
A good national treasure squatted there alone, reduced to a beggar.
Xu Yi felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and felt that this giant panda was really lonely and pitiful.
Passing by the Lion and Tiger Pavilion, Xu Yi stopped by to take a look at Tiger Mountain, which made him dispel the idea of sending the little fox here.
There were a lot of people in Tiger Mountain, Xu Yi thought it was some kind of performance, and when he walked over, he saw that the handler was holding an iron rod to repair the tiger that did not cooperate with tourists to take pictures.
Malnutrition is a little emaciated, the color of the fur on his body is dull, and the beast king who is even more dreadlocked has a scarred body, lying there helplessly, accompanying the smiling tourists to take pictures non-stop.
Waiting to walk to the front of the fox house, Xu Yi completely broke off the idea of sending the two little foxes here, the fox house was shrouded in a thick smell, and the two sandy yellow foxes inside were lying there listlessly, their bodies were dirty, and their fur was also very dull, and they fell off one by one, and there was a thick layer of white dander where there was no hair, although Xu Yi was not a veterinarian, he could also determine at a glance that the fox was a fungal infection and had ringworm.
After all, this ringworm is a zoonotic disease, and I have seen a lot of it, so I basically can't be mistaken.
Both foxes had a lot of yellow feces on their tails, and one long tail was like a-stirring stick, which was simply unsightly.
There was even a fox with a triangular scar on its head, and the murder weapon was also discovered by Xu Yi.
Inside the cage, on the ground not far from the fox, a small triangular stone fell there, and a corner was covered with black blood.
Seeing this, Xu Yi completely lost his determination to send this fox to this zoo, where is this zoo, this is a Nazi concentration camp!
