There is no road on the mountain, but it is difficult for them, Sun Kai plays on the mountain all the year round, under his leadership, the two of them walked left and right, and soon came to the halfway up the mountain.

From here, the scenery is beautiful, it is spring, the trees are verdant and green, each tree has grown delicate leaves, and the ground is full of small flowers and shrubs, which are called a purple and red.

The sound of birdsong and insects in the woods makes the woods feel deserted.

A strange sound came, Sun Kai grabbed him and bent down, and said, "Be careful, there are hazel chickens, if you can catch them, I have rarely seen hazel chickens over the years." ”

Qin Yan nodded in agreement, the hazel chicken, which is the flower-tailed hazel chicken, is a very delicious wild animal.

As the saying goes, "dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground", donkey meat people know what it is, but dragon meat has its own saying, many people do not know, thinking that it is the dragon meat in myths and legends, which is very delicious and nutritious, so as to compare donkey meat to the sky.

In fact, dragon meat refers to the flying dragon meat, that is, flower-tailed hazel chicken. It is one of the eight treasures, and it is the treasure of the Qing Dynasty royal tribute, and it is known as the tribute bird of the year.

The neck bone of the hazel chicken is long and curved, like a keel, the legs are short with feathers, and the claws have scales, just like the dragon's claws, so it is called the flying dragon bird.

The taste is very delicious, otherwise there would be no saying "dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground". It's just that due to deforestation and over-hunting, it's rare to see the Wyvern birds, and it's a lot of luck that they can meet them this time.

Let Qin Yan wait here, Sun Kai bent down and followed the voice, and walked forward carefully, Qin Yan stopped in place and did not move, the flying dragon bird is alert by nature, Sun Kai can catch it very little, but it is better to rest here.

Sure enough, it didn't take a while, Sun Kai walked back with empty hands, saw him spread his hands, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that it ran away, the hazel chicken is too alert, I didn't even see it." ”

"I believe in you, if you can catch the hazelnut, the sow can go up the tree. ”

"Get out. ”

Busy for a long time to see the sun tilting in the west, but the two only harvested a hare, Sun Kai sighed vigorously, now there are fewer prey, otherwise there is only this harvest, they are not ready to spend the night on the mountain, so they have to go down the same road and return.

Walking and walking, suddenly there was a "flutter" under his feet, and a black shadow jumped out violently, and Qin Yan disappeared before he could see what it was.

Sun Kai's eyes lit up and shouted, "Hazel chicken, it's a hazel chicken, let's chase after it." ”

After chasing two steps, he stopped, the hazel chicken ran too fast, where could he catch up, just now it was just a subconscious behavior.

Qin Yan noticed that there seemed to be something in the place where the hazelnut escaped just now, and went over to take a look, it was a small nest, and there were several bird eggs about the size of pigeon eggs in the nest, with brown spots, which looked inconspicuous.

Sun Kai suddenly realized and said, "Hazel eggs, no wonder I heard the sound of hazel chickens just now, it turned out that the female hazel chicken was holding the nest here, and the male hazel chicken made a sound in order to lure us away." ”

"Hazel eggs, is this what hazel eggs are?"

"Of course, you think. ”

Qin Yan counted, a total of eight hazel eggs, Sun Kai looked at the hazelnut eggs regretfully, shook his head and said, "It's a pity, I didn't expect it to be a hazel chicken hatching, otherwise I wouldn't bother it, now the number of hazel chickens is too small." ”

"Let's just leave, the female hazelnut should come back, after all, these are her eggs. ”

Sun Kai looked at him like an idiot. "Hunters will set traps here to catch the hazelnut chickens. You think Hazel Chicken is as stupid as you are, and you run back and wait for someone to catch you. These eggs are useless, let's take them home and cook them. ”

Qin Yan was a little reluctant, hazelnuts have rarely been seen over the years, and it was hard to see the female hazelnut that was still holding the nest, these eggs were boiled and eaten, it was a pity, he tentatively said, "Otherwise, I'll take these home and find a hen to see if they can hatch out?"

"Hazel eggs are too small and the shells are thinner than eggs, so they can't succeed. But don't you say I've forgotten, I also have a thermostatic egg hatchery brooder at home, and you can try hazelnut eggs in it. That's it, I'm useless with that set of equipment, just give it to you. I've only used it a few times, and I'm still getting new. ”

"Well, I can't ask you for something so valuable. ”

Qin Yan waved his hand embarrassedly, the constant temperature egg hatcher brooder, he hadn't heard of it, he didn't know what it was, but he always felt so tall when he heard the name, it shouldn't be cheap.

After this incident, the two were not in the mood to hunt anymore, and returned to the village with hazel eggs, Sun Kai went back to the room to find a thermostatic egg hatching brooder, and said, "This is a good baby, I use it to make a lot of things, like pigeons, pheasants, turkeys, and peacocks." ”

Qin Yan took a look at his house, Sun Kai has liked to raise small animals since he was a child, and he still hasn't changed when he grows up, there are really a lot of things, and he can open a poultry restaurant.

As soon as I walked in, there were a few red-bellied pheasants running by, although they were chickens, but the red-bellied pheasants were actually very beautiful, more beautiful than pheasants, and they were special ornamental birds.

He also saw two peacocks around the corner, opening their tail feathers to form a tail screen, and the tail feathers fluttered, flashing and shining, bright and beautiful, very beautiful.

Poking out of the two long heads in the west room, Qin Yan was surprised to find that it was an ostrich, listening to the cry of pheasants, you said that he had something not to raise.

Sun Kai came out with his things and said proudly, "How about it, these are hatched with a thermostatic egg hatcher brooder, and I am really a little reluctant to give it to you now." ”

Qin Yan pointed to the things he brought out, his eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "This is a thermostatic egg hatcher brooder?"

"yes. What's wrong. ”

"Nothing. ”

Qin Yan is speechless, the name sounds very tall, but looking at its structure, Qin Yan has nothing to say, this is clearly a simple waterbed incubator.

The structure is very simple, and anyone who has seen it will make it. A foam box, a box made of plastic foam, the kind that transports fruit very lightly, and shatters at the touch of it.

Inside was a hydration bladder with a heater in the middle of the hydration bladder and a torn padded jacket on it, the kind that even dogs don't want.

Add to that a temperature control to control the temperature, and the result is a thermostatic egg hatchery brooder that he said, which is very simple.

This thing is the simplest of the incubation equipment, everything can be found at home, the total price is only a few tens of yuan, or the latest kind, of which the thermostat accounts for more than half.

No wonder Sun Kai is so generous, it is clearly a useless and worthless thing. It's a pity to throw it away, keep it to occupy the space, how good it is to give it away, and you can still earn favors.

It is estimated that he was also a little embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Don't be stunned, hurry up and take it back, I have set the temperature for you, you can hatch when you go back, don't take too long, if the hazel eggs stop hatching for too long, they will fail to hatch." ”

Qin Yan was just about to leave, he shouted back again, found a marker pen and drew a few strokes on the hazel eggs, and explained seriously: "The most important thing in hatching is to turn the eggs, that is, to turn the side that was originally facing up to the bottom, if you don't turn the eggs, it is said that the probability of hatching chicks is less than 30%.

You have to turn the eggs every two or three hours, and if you don't have time, you can do it two or three times a day, but you have to do it. ”

After the introduction, he said to him, "In fact, if you want to be troublesome, you can also do not do this, although the mother bird will turn the egg, but it is impossible to turn 180 degrees accurately, you can use mahjong to rub the method, the egg is rolled randomly, the result is the same......"

"Second brother, I'll go first. ”

Finally waiting for him to pause, Qin Yan hurriedly said goodbye and left. He knew that the reason why Sun Kai explained in such detail and was very enthusiastic was that he finally met a confidant and wanted to say what was in his heart.
