Regarding Professor He's proposal, Li Xi only smiled and did not speak.

He greeted Professor He, "Professor He, please come here." ”

Take the two of them and go see the old hen.

The old hen is still in the chicken cage.

As soon as Professor He saw the old hen in the chicken cage, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, "This is the old hen?"

"Hehe! Li Xi replied with a smile.

But Professor He didn't wait for him to answer, he squatted down in front of the old hen's cage, and reached into the chicken cage, wanting to touch the old hen.

"Coo!" the old hen, apparently unwilling to let him touch, shrank back into the cage. But how big is a chicken cage? Professor He still grabbed the old hen who was retreating backwards with his long hand.

He put both hands in at the same time, and was in the chicken coop, grabbed the old hen, and groped for it, but he didn't know what he was fumbling for.

In short, Li Xi and Jiang Yanling are quite inexplicable.

But after a while, Professor He put the old hen down, and I don't know if he found anything from the old hen.

Standing up, he came back to his senses and asked Li Xi, "Where are the eggs it lays? Are there any here, can you let me see them?"

Jiang Yanling brought a lot of eggs laid by the old hen, all of which were for Li Xi to eat. When Li Xi heard this, he immediately turned to Jiang Yanling. Jiang Yanling understood, and hurriedly ran back to the hall, took back the small bag containing the eggs, and let Professor He see it.

Professor He took the small bag, opened it, and saw the huge egg inside, and immediately exclaimed.

Although he had already seen the eggshell that Li Xi had taken over, the feeling was still not comparable to seeing the egg with his own eyes. At this time, seeing these eggs with my own eyes, I still have the feeling that these eggs are really big.

He took out an egg and shone it at Yang Guang.

Li Xi knew that Professor He was looking at this egg to see if there was SHOU essence.

"Tut!" Professor He took out the eggs one by one, and from time to time let out a sigh of praise and sometimes.

Obviously, these eggs must have SHOU essence, there are no SHOU essence, and there are no SHOU essence eggs, which will inevitably feel sorry in the eyes of people like Professor He who are engaged in research.

"Professor He, how is it?" Li Xi couldn't help but ask.

Professor He said: "These eggs, there are a few SHOU sperm, I'll take them back together, no problem, right?"

"No problem. Li Xi generously agreed. He already had a chick at home, but he didn't think about leaving too many eggs and continuing to hatch chicks.

As for the eggs without SHOU, Professor He is not very interested.

After thinking about it, she looked at Jiang Yanling and asked, "Little girl, how much do you plan to sell this old hen?"

Jiang Yanling looked at Li Xi for help. Professor He asked her how much she would sell, but of course she couldn't say why, she was worried that the other party would not agree if it was expensive, and she would suffer a loss if it was cheap. In fact, her estimate of this old hen is actually about 1,000 yuan.

Of course, if the buyer is stupid and has a lot of money, it is of course better to be willing to give 10,000. Any more, in her opinion, is too incredible. An old hen that lays eggs, even if she sells all the eggs for the next life, how much money can she make?

You know, how long does a chicken live?

Laying eggs for a lifetime, laying an egg every day, even if an egg is sold for two yuan, how much can it be sold? And ordinary eggs are not sold for two yuan, and a chicken cannot lay eggs all the time in a lifetime, and it is great to be able to lay eggs for four or five years.

If you get older, you won't lay eggs. Such an old hen can only be used to hatch eggs. In fact, once the old hen reaches a certain age, especially after no longer laying eggs, most of the time, she is in the nest (that is, incubating eggs).

An old hen sells all the eggs laid in her life for ten yuan, which is only ten thousand dollars.

As a peasant girl, Jiang Yanling can know about these common-sense things, which is also the fundamental reason why she only said 1,000 yuan when she valued her old hen at the beginning.

At this time, when he heard Professor He ask, he couldn't help but look at Li Xi when he had no confidence. Finally, she still remembered that Li Xi had said to herself just now that after the wait came, she would leave it to him to negotiate.

In that case, let's listen to what this uncle has to say.

"Professor Ho. Li Xi spoke, "This old hen of Yanling's family is definitely worth researching, and if you buy it, it will definitely be of great help to your research." ”

"I know what you said, hehe. Professor He smiled and replied to Li Xi, "However, the funding of the institute is not very generous recently, and if the price is too high, I am worried that the institute will not be able to pass it." ”

"Then what does Professor He mean?" Of course, Li Xi could hear that this Professor He wanted to suppress the price, but according to his own understanding of the other party, he was not afraid of the other party's price reduction.

Anyway, such an old hen can lay such huge eggs, and has its own precedent for chicks, but I am not afraid that Professor He will not spend money to buy it.

When Professor He heard this, he couldn't help but be silent, pondered for a moment, and asked Li Xi, "This old hen hasn't been tested yet, is it as smart as that little chick?"

Jiang Yanling was completely confused when she heard Professor He suddenly mention the little chick, and she didn't understand why the other party suddenly changed the topic.

Li Xi knew what Professor He wanted to say, and said at the moment: "I'm not sure if it's as smart as my little chick." Professor Ho could have given it a try, but I guess ......"

Speaking of this, Li Xi paused for a moment, and then decided to tell the truth, after all, these things cannot be concealed, and after experimenting, you can easily debunk the lie, "I estimate that this old hen may not be as smart as my little chick." ”

"How can this be?" Professor He wondered, "Isn't that little chick hatched from the eggs laid by this old hen?

"I can't say the specific things clearly, if Professor He has any doubts, just give it a try. Li Xi suggested.

Jiang Yanling was even more confused when she heard this, and couldn't help but look at Li Xi, and then at Professor He, vaguely, she could guess a little, Professor He mentioned that the little chick was hatched from the egg laid by the old hen, could it be the egg she gave to this uncle last time? That egg hatched a chick.

Her gaze followed on the little chick playing with Ding Doudou, the fluffy little chick still looked quite interesting, the chick lowered its head, pecking at the sweet fruit that Ding Doudou chewed on the ground.

Realizing that this little chick was most likely hatched by this uncle with the egg she gave him, Jiang Yanling couldn't help but look at this little chick a few more times.

However, Professor He, after listening to Li Xi's words, couldn't help but be silent again, and turned his head to look at the old hen, who was still shrunk in the chicken cage.

looked at the old hen, and then looked at the little chick not far away, and with his feelings, this Professor He had the idea that the old hen must be smarter than the chick.

However, this old hen is also significantly different from ordinary hens, which can be seen at a glance by Professor He, who specializes in poultry and runs a chicken farm at the same time.

This old hen is obviously a lot smarter than ordinary hens. In fact, when Professor He reached into the cage just now and reached out to touch the old hen, he had already felt it.

Therefore, although there is a certain gap between this old hen and the imagination, Professor He is still quite satisfied, not to mention, there are a few eggs that have been refined by SHOU, these eggs, like the eggs that Li Xi hatched the chicks, are the eggs laid by the old hen, so Professor He feels that if these eggs are hatched, the newborn chicks may not be worse than Li Xi's chicks.

After being silent for a moment, he still couldn't help but ask Li Xi, "If I take these eggs back and hatch them, will they also hatch chicks like your chicks?"

To be honest, Li Xi's little chick gave Professor He quite a deep feeling. Especially after many experiments, when the little chick realized that he was experimenting with it, he was able to stop and ignore his own experiment.

This kind of intelligence is no longer ordinary intelligence, but has the ability to judge.

This situation, appearing in a chick, is extremely amazing, even Professor He, who studies animals, has never seen such a smart animal.

What's more, what shows all this is a chick that has just hatched for a short time.

Regarding Professor He's question, Li Xi didn't dare to give him any guarantee, and when he heard it, he shook his head directly, "Then I'm not sure, maybe I can, maybe not." ”

In fact, for his little chick, who can show such smart characteristics, Li Xi has in his heart, in addition to the judgment that this little chick has eaten a smart and clever fruit, there is also an extremely important point, that is, the problem of the influence of the oil lamp. You know, the egg you use to hatch your chicks is the day when the old hen lays the eggs, but on the day she takes the oil lamp.

That is, this egg is the case that the old hen is affected for the longest time and lays the eggs. The other eggs, even the day before they took the oil lamp, the eggs were affected by the oil lamp, and they were still one day less than their own egg.

One day less is not the key, the key is that the egg may not have been SHOU. Eggs without SHOU sperm cannot hatch chicks.

As for the old hen continuing to lay eggs after taking away the oil lamp, and then laying eggs, the longer the time passes, the weaker the effect of the oil lamp on the old hen must be.

Therefore, even without the influence of smart and clever results, Li Xi can conclude that the egg he hatched the chick is the most special egg among the eggs laid by the old hen.

When Professor He heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment again, thought for a while, and asked Li Xi, "Then can I take a look at your incubation conditions? When you hatched, where did you hatch, and what kind of incubator did you use when you hatched this chick?"

Professor He has asked Li Xi in detail about all this, and Li Xi has also given an accurate answer. But what Li Xi heard from his mouth and what he saw with his own eyes is obviously more convincing for Professor He.

"Okay. This request is not excessive, and Li Xi agreed.

Take Professor He to see the incubator of his chicks.

The incubator and the incubation conditions, as well as the environment in which the incubator is located, are nothing special, and Professor He couldn't help but be slightly disappointed after reading it. But in addition to being disappointed, I suddenly remembered something, and I became relaxed again.

Since Li Xi hatches chicks without using any special conditions, it will definitely be easier when he hatches by himself.

The reason why he wanted to see it was that he suspected that Li Xi had any secret recipes or any special factors that affected the chick when he hatched the chick.

If so, it would be only right to replicate these conditions.

But since there is none, it saves Professor He a step. At the same time, since Li Xi did not use any special conditions when incubating chicks, it means that when he uses those eggs to hatch, it is easier to copy the process of Li Xi hatching chicks, and it is not easy to produce unexpected variables.

Li Xi took everyone and went out of the room again.

Again on the issue of the purchase price.

Professor He thought for a moment and said, "This old hen, plus those eggs, I will give 100,000 yuan." ”

100,000 yuan!?

Jiang Yanling had been following Li Xi all the time, and when she heard Professor He's offer, she was almost stunned, and she couldn't believe her ears.

My old hen, this person, he paid 100,000 yuan? Is it true or fake, an old hen can be sold for so much money?

In an excited mood, she couldn't help but look at Li Xi, to be honest, if Li Xi hadn't told her earlier, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to help but want to agree directly.

Unexpectedly, Li Xi shook his head directly, and said with a smile: "Professor He, if you give 100,000 yuan for such a chicken, it's too low, right? If it's a broiler, you buy it back to eat meat, I have nothing to say, but if you buy it back for research, 100,000 yuan wants to buy back such a unique hen, 100,000 yuan, it seems to be too low." ”

At the price of 100,000 yuan, it's okay to fool Jiang Yanling, but if you want to fool Li Xi, it's still far away.

This Professor He wants to lower the price, but this price is indeed a bit far from Li Xi's psychological expectations.

Jiang Yanling was even more stunned when she heard this: 100,000 yuan is still not sold? My little flower is really so valuable? )
