Chapter 322: Catching Birds Doesn't Succeed in Being Abused
"Have you been waiting for me here?" Chang Zhaowen was a little excited in his heart, since the last time he implemented the original barter transaction of "figs for crayfish" with the strange bird, the strange bird has been very attentive to him.
The strange bird tilted its neck, its big bright eyes blinking, as if it was guessing what Chang Zhaowen meant. Suddenly, it shook its wings, jumped off Chang Zhaowen's shoulder, lowered its head and picked up the fig that had just been placed on the ground again.
Could it be that the other party found out that there was no crayfish on him and angrily canceled the transaction?
But in the next second, Chang Zhaowen was almost choked to death, and the strange bird actually picked up a fig and stuffed it directly into his mouth, in all fairness, this is a perfect fig. The purple skin and a circle of golden nectar indicate that it is at the peak of sweetness at the moment, and it is definitely full of sticky honey when you bite into it.
But Chang Zhaowen looked like a dog, and hurriedly pulled out the fig in his mouth with his hand, and "bah" several times in succession.
Figs are the most perfect, and the enthusiasm of the strange bird is also evident.
The large amount of viscous nectar that naturally oozes from this fig is a gift from nature and a symbol of naturally ripening fruit. Fruits rich in nectar, rich in taste and taste, can definitely throw out those fruits that are picked before they are fully ripe.
This is also why in the modern society with high-speed logistics, it is logical that people in the city can eat delicious fruits from all over the world as long as they stay at home and move the mouse, but only if they have eaten in person at the production area will they find that those fruits that come from afar by plane, even if the appearance is as beautiful as the production area, but the flavor is greatly reduced.
Ripe fruits cannot be stored for too long even if they are cold chained all the way, and many fruits will become soft when they are ripe, causing a lot of wear and tear when they are squeezed during packing or bumped on the way.
Therefore, basically fruits that need to be transported over long distances do not wait until they are ripe before being picked. Usually just half-ripe is picked in batches, boxed, and sent to various means of transportation, although there are various natural ripening methods, and finally the fruit can show a ripe state, and the appearance is as beautiful as a freshly picked ripe fruit. But this is only limited to the appearance, and the taste is still a few streets worse than the naturally ripened fruit.
Chang Zhaowen smiled bitterly and pinched the fig that had just been dug out of his mouth, the sticky honey was still stained with the dust on the ground, the fine dead grass and the fluff of the strange bird and its saliva, although it was original, but it was really a little incompetent for him, a modern person who loves cleanliness.
"Help—" The strange bird shook its pale "handsome face", as if he didn't understand why his courteous behavior was not recognized by Chang Zhaowen, and he fell back on Chang Zhaowen's shoulder, his beak opening and closing, as if muttering something quietly.
Chang Zhaowen knew what it was waiting for, and since this strange bird was so easy to talk to, it would be better to try that rice.
Chang Zhaowen opened the burlap bag, stretched the opening of the bag wide with his hands, stretched the bag to the mouth of the strange bird, and snorted at the bag, motioning for it to taste the contents.
The strange bird shook its head, obviously Chang Zhaowen's actions made it a little confused, the previous cooperation didn't seem to be like this?
But bewilderment is bewilderment, the flesh of the crayfish is too tempting to it, and the strange bird hesitates for a moment, and finally pokes its head into the cloth bag.
"Help—" In less than a second, the strange bird's body trembled violently, and the head that had just been stretched into the cloth bag was quickly pulled out, and it was still raised high, as if panting. All the feathers on its body exploded, making it look bigger.
"Bah, bah!" This was the first time Chang Zhaowen had heard a strange bird make a sound other than "Help-", and the strange bird jumped from his shoulder to a nearby tree, lowered his head and rubbed his sharp beak on the branch under his feet repeatedly.
Forehead...... Chang Zhaowen looks stupid, isn't it, that centering rice tastes really so disgusting?
But looking at the reaction of the strange bird, it was as if it had been forcibly stuffed, and the beak of the bird rubbed on the branch for a while, and the bark on the poor branch was rubbed off a lot by the sharp beak. Finally, the strange bird stopped moving, and stared at Chang Zhaowen with a pair of eyes...... Seeing Chang Zhaowen, he couldn't help but shudder.
"Eh, calm down, listen to my explanation......" The eyes met the murderous eyes of the strange bird, and Chang Zhaowen felt weak for no reason, but the strange bird didn't seem to be ready to give him a chance to defend himself, and fluttered his wings and flew towards him.
Chang Zhaowen hurriedly pinched the mouth of the burlap bag into his arms, and clenched the wooden staff in his hand, but unfortunately the movement was still a little slower, the open claws of the strange bird had come to his eyelids, he only felt that his hand was subjected to a huge pull, and the fig that was still stained with saliva in his hand had left his hand, and was clamped and dragged up the branch by the claws of the strange bird.
Fortunately, the strange bird seems to be reasonable. He didn't attack him, but snatched back the figs that had been given to him when he had made a gesture.
Well, that's fair, it's just a matter of getting the deposit back when the deal breaks down. Chang Zhaowen shrugged at the strange bird that was pecking figs on the tree, to be honest, it was just a whim for the strange bird to try that centering rice just now, think about it rationally, what's the use of him keeping this bird in captivity?
Humans domesticate wild beasts, feed them, and make them poultry or domestic animals, mostly out of their own needs.
After figuring this out, Chang Zhaowen turned around and decided to leave the stream area, even if he wanted to domesticate it, he would have to find some beasts with edible value: hares, wild goats, etc.
The strange bird pecked at the fig frantically, and it seemed that only this sweeter than honey fruit could now dissolve some of the disgusting taste that remained in its mouth. But Chang Zhaowen's behavior of turning around and leaving obviously angered him, and he left after bullying others, which is too irresponsible, right?
"Help—" The same shout, this time with rage.
Chang Zhaowen only felt a powerful air flow behind his ears, and a pair of iron claws came with a howling wind, grabbing his clothes fiercely and dragging him back!
Chang Zhaowen, who thought everyone was two Qing, didn't expect this strange bird to launch a sneak attack unrelentingly, and he was unprepared for a sudden pull by the strange bird, and under the action of external forces, his body leaned backwards and lost his balance.
And there's more!
Chang Zhaowen thrust his cane into the ground to resist the pulling force in the future. Who knew that the power behind him suddenly disappeared, and the balance was broken again, oops! He shook his body and fell to the ground with a "bang".
I was actually pitted by a bird!
But the strange bird was obviously not prepared to let him go, and he only felt a gust of wind pass by his ears, and his shoulder was once again hooked by a pair of iron claws—and with a "poof", he plunged into the water.
"Help-" This time the voice was full of joy and anticipation, Chang Zhaowen immediately understood the purpose of the strange bird, it turned out that the iron claw hooked him, just to drive him into the water to catch shrimp for it!
Why?!
