Chapter Ninety-Six: Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms

Snake meat is tender and delicious, but it takes courage to catch a snake. Especially when Zhong Huan saw the four- or five-meter-long black-eyed snake man standing up in the vegetable field and spitting out a letter to himself with the snake body erected, he gave up the idea of eating snakes.

Beef tastes good whether it is made into a steak or stewed, but when a bull weighing more than three tons bows its head and shows its horns at Zhong Huan, Zhong Huan's feeling is not so good. He had never been a bullfighter, and even a real bullfighter would not dare to tease such a bull like a baby elephant. If you are hit by a bull's horns, I am afraid it is no different from being hit by a car.

Zhong Huan had never eaten horse meat before, so he wanted to try it. It's just that after some hard work, Zhong Huan discovered a very simple truth, a two-legged one should never want to run over a four-legged one.

Kebabs are Zhong Huan's favorite, but the sheep in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu are not slower than horses. What's even worse is that the area in the beast breeding cave is huge, and there is no terrain that can be used to drive the sheep into a desperate situation, so Zhong Huan can only look at the sheep and sigh.

Pigs are often described as stupid animals, and Zhong Huan once thought that it should not be difficult to catch pigs and eat meat. But when he really got close to a one-ton fat pig, he found that it was not pleasant to be arched by a pig, and the pig ran just as fast. Zhong Huan, the other pig, didn't know, the pigs in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu ran up, and Zhong Huan couldn't catch up at the moment.

"I'll it~ Where is this pig! It's clearly a wild boar! ”

Zhong Huan, who was hit by a pig and sat on the ground, couldn't help but scold. When he found that the strength he was usually proud of was not as big as that of a pig, he would inevitably have a very strong sense of frustration.

After some hard work, Zhong Huan found that he had no hope of eating the meat of large animals, unless he could find a shotgun. It's a pity that the gun control in China is too strict, and ordinary people really can't buy it. So Zhong Huan could only retreat and began to attack small prey.

To Zhong Huan's surprise, the small animals in the Ten Thousand Beast Gu were also very strong. For the first time, Zhong Huan understood what it means to move like a rabbit and a cunning rabbit. For the first time, I learned that geese can bite too. For the first time, I found that chickens and ducks were forced to be in a hurry, and they could flapp their wings and fly out of a distance to escape.

Is the animals in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu more delicious Zhong Huan didn't know, what he was sure of was that the animals in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu were definitely more developed in motor nerves than the animals in the outside world, and they were also more spiritual.

When Zhong Huan was stocking dragonflies and praying mantis in the Ten Thousand Beast Gu, he had seen these two beneficial insects preying on butterflies. Those butterflies that were born and raised in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu and had never seen natural enemies were relatively stupid, and they could easily be caught by a dragonfly that was one size smaller. It stands to reason that the cattle and sheep in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu have also never seen humans, and they should also be easy to capture, but they can feel Zhong Huan's hostility. This not only shows that mammals are smarter than insects, but also shows that the animals in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu are more intelligent than the animals in the outside world.

Although the animals in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu are all wild and intelligent, this does not mean that Zhong Huan has no meat to eat. After all, no matter how smart an animal is, it can't compare to a human. It doesn't matter if the cows and sheep can run, the chickens and ducks can fly, Zhong Huan can catch the chickens that can't fly, but there are still eggs to pick up.

Carrying a chicken of about two catties in his left hand and two large duck eggs in his right hand, Zhong Huan returned to the animal breeding cave that was used as a kitchen. In this cave, Zhong Huan only transplanted vegetables, and did not release animals, so that he could cook dishes with local materials.

As a child who grew up in the city, Zhong Huan has never slaughtered chickens. However, he was bold enough and did not faint blood, holding down the chicken with one hand, and cutting it off with a kitchen knife with the other hand, directly cutting off the head of the chicken, and the chicken blood spurted out of the chicken's neck. The chicken that had its head cut off was still struggling violently in Zhong Huan's hands for a while before it stopped moving at all.

Looking at the chicken blood in the place, Zhong Huan didn't feel how disgusting, and killing didn't have any psychological burden for him, all he was thinking about at this time was how to make a dish of chickens. Boil water, pluck hair, and clean up the internal organs...... The preparation is done in one go, and then it is time to bring to a simmer. Soon the casserole was filled with the aroma of chicken and mushrooms.

Chicken stewed mushrooms, duck eggs fried leeks, tomato egg soup and a bowl of white rice, this is the result of Zhong Huan's hard work in the animal breeding cave for half a day. There was no hurry to eat and drink soup, Zhong Huan first took out a chicken thigh from the casserole and gnawed it.

The taste of the chicken thighs is very fragrant and fresh, and the chicken flavor is full, and you will know that it is an authentic free-range chicken as soon as you eat it. The texture of the chicken is not delicate and melts in the mouth, but it is very elastic and chewy, but it is not the old chew, but it is tender, elastic and firm, as if you can feel the youth and strength contained in the muscles of the chicken.

Zhong Huan, who was already extremely hungry, quickly stored half a pot of chicken in his stomach. To be honest, the chickens in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu do taste better than the chicken sold in the supermarket, but the difference is not very obvious. At least in Zhong Huan's opinion, there is no obvious difference in the taste of fruits and vegetables. In this way, the biggest difference between the animals in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu and the animals in the outside world is not the taste of good or bad, but the difference in size, how wild they are, and how high and low their wisdom are.

Since the animals in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu are not known for their taste, and they are not easy to catch, Zhong Huan gave up the idea of selling meat, but began to consider buying some hunting and fishing tools to enrich the recipes. As for whether the captured prey can be eaten, Zhong Huan doesn't have to worry about it at all, because the storage hall is the best place to keep it fresh, and any food put in it will not spoil and spoil.

After eating and drinking, Zhong Huan left the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu. As soon as he returned to his room, he heard his cell phone ringing. When I picked up the phone, it turned out to be Su Zhengping calling. At this time, it was already Sunday afternoon, and Zhong Huan would go back to school tomorrow. He really couldn't guess that Su Zhengping was in a hurry, and he couldn't wait all night.

"Grandpa Su, do you have something to do with me?" Zhong Huan picked up the phone and asked.

"Xiao Zhong, I'm not in a hurry, I just want to ask you, when will your flower shop open?"

Su Zhengping's voice on the phone revealed a kind of joy, Zhong Huan could feel the smile on his face just by listening to the voice, but he didn't know what happy events he had encountered.

"I rented the store yesterday and I'm renovating it now. If all goes well, it will be open in another week or two. Zhong Huan didn't dare to say too much, so he said an approximate time.

"That's right! Are the flowers in your store ready? Su Zhengping asked.

"Not yet." Zhong Huan replied honestly.

"Aren't you ready for a pot? What about the flowers in your master's place? Su Zhengping's tone was a little eager.

"It's not ready yet. Grandpa Su, do you want to buy flowers? Zhong Huan vaguely guessed Su Zhengping's intentions.

"Hehe~ It's not that I want to buy it. It's my old friends who want to buy it. During the National Day, the Orchid Fair was held in Jiangcheng City, and they all wanted to buy two pots of good orchids from your master to participate in the exhibition, and said that my pot of Han Palace full moon will definitely win the award. Su Zhengping said with a smile.

"Is the Orchid Fair an orchid fair? How can I still win an award? Isn't it supposed to sell orchids? Zhong Huan asked with some curiosity.

"The Orchid Expo and the Orchid Fair are both events in the orchid world. Generally speaking, the Lan Expo is mainly an exhibition, supplemented by trading, and is usually held in the spring. The Lan Fair is mainly based on trading, supplemented by exhibitions, and the time of holding is uncertain, and it will generally be staggered with the time of the Lan Expo. Both of these orchid events have an exhibition evaluation section and an auction session. If you can win the competition, then the auction price can easily be inflated. However, I don't plan to sell this Han Palace full moon, I just want to take it to the exhibition and invite Lan You to appreciate it. Su Zhengping popularized Zhong Huan's knowledge again.

"Grandpa Su, can I bring flowers to this Orchid Fair?" Zhong Huan was planning to sell the orchid in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu at a high price, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.

"Absolutely! However, at the moment, you can only participate in the exhibition in your own name, and it is too late to participate in the name of a company. ”

"Is there any difference between the two?" Zhong Huan asked.

"Only one variety of orchid can be selected to participate in the competition. There is no such restriction on the participation of companies in the name of the company. However, the company's qualification review is more cumbersome, and it needs to be registered in advance. Su Zhengping explained.

"Huh? So what to do? I would like to use this opportunity to make a name for myself. And I'm definitely going to sell more than one pot of orchids. ”

Zhong Huan not only wants to auction a few more pots of orchids to make money, but also wants to advertise the company for free, of course, it is more appropriate to sign up in the name of the company. It's a pity that the company's registration time has been closed, and even if there is no deadline, Zhong Huan has not yet obtained the business license, so it is too late to look at it.

"The rule is that the dead are alive. You can't find a few more people to participate. If the orchid wins an award, someone will definitely ask about the origin of the orchid, and at that time, if you report the name of the company, it will naturally attract popularity. Ke is going to accompany me this time, you can count her as one. Su Zhengping has participated in similar activities before, and it is not a problem to provide Zhong Huan with some guidance.

"It's great that Senior Sister Su is going! How long will this fair last? I'll see if I can find more people to accompany me. ”

Zhong Huan counted with his fingers, and he plus Peng Lei, Peng Miao, Yang Min, and Su Ke are five people, which should be enough. Although there are definitely more than five kinds of orchids cultivated in the Ten Thousand Beast Gu, they are not worth it when they are taken out all at once, and it is too appalling, so it is appropriate to put them out little by little.

"The current Lanchang Fair is an exhibition and no separation. Therefore, it is not limited to communication with Lanyou, but for the general public, and there are exhibitions during the National Day holiday. However, the auction is on the National Day, and if it can be sold, it will be back in one day. Su Zhengping explained.
