41. I can't eat a swan
Su Zhen got up in the morning and walked downstairs to find that Liu Ru had already gotten up and was making breakfast, and the three guys, Ah Xiaosi and Coyote, were gnawing on the big bones stewed by Liu Ru on the side, eating a lot of food.
After a while, Liu Shihua also got up. Su Zhen looked at the millet porridge and pickles in front of him, and asked in a daze, "Mom, where are these millets and pickles, they don't have to be sold in the town, right?" ”
"Naturally, Harvard doesn't, Chicago does, I bought some back the last time I saw it in a Chinese supermarket in Chicago, and I bought a little tofu, I didn't dare to buy more, it's too troublesome to ship by air." Liu Ru, who was boiling something, replied without replying.
"I remember last time I heard Old John say that there is a Chinese supermarket in Rockford, not far from Harvard, if you want to buy something, you can go there" Su Zhen said casually, drinking millet porridge and pickles, and looked at the three Zhengxiang guys who ate meat, and said dissatisfiedly, "Mom, I also want to eat meat"
"What kind of meat to eat in the morning, whether you are greasy or not," Liu Ru said.
"There's no way, you said that these three guys will eat meat if they eat meat, and you give them stewed meat, can I not be hungry for the smell of stew in the house" Su Zhendu muttered.
Liu Ru looked at her son helplessly, "You eat meat every day, why can't you eat enough" Reluctantly got up, took a bowl of stewed soup from the pot and handed it to Su Zhen, "I didn't stew much meat in the morning, this is stewed chicken soup, this is really beautiful, the chickens and ducks in the market only have bodies, and the claws and heads have been removed."
Su Zhen took a sip and tasted it, "Lao Mei basically only eats meat when she eats, and the parts with animal characteristics are all thrown away or fed to pets, they don't like these parts, reminding them that they are eating animal carcasses, and this chicken is also fed and has no taste." ”
"Isn't this hiding your ears and stealing the bell, knowing that Lu Dao eats meat, and I don't want to remind myself that this is an animal corpse." Liu Shihua said.
"Hehe, that's basically what the Puritans think." Su Zhen said with a smile, but drinking the chicken soup, Su Zhen remembered the pair of swans in the space, and turned around to make it out for his mother to stew.
After eating, Su Zhen made an excuse and went out, rode the black elf and headed towards the lake. He was followed by Ah Da, and the coyote was also followed by Ah Da.
When he arrived at the lake and saw that there was no one nearby, he beckoned Ah Da and the coyote to come over, and entered the space with the two guys. Ah Da has been brought in by Su Zhen several times before, so it is not surprising, he is very familiar with sniffing here and smelling there. The coyote, who came in for the first time, seemed a little uneasy, followed Ah Da closely, and timidly observed the surroundings.
However, there are more uneasy than coyotes, it seems to feel the threat of Ah Da and coyotes, there is a rattling in the space, Su Zhen is stupid, the original pair of swans has become the current eight, and the two big swans with six fluffy swans behind them are scared by Ah Da and coyotes, Ah Da was also startled by these guys, and roared wildly on the side.
Su Zhen stopped Ah Da and looked at the swans in the family, it seems that Lao Tzu brought in a pair of swans last time, but Nima's efficiency is too high, right? It's only been a few days since the little swans have come out.
And the careful Su Zhen also found that there was obviously a nest in the grass, and he didn't know if there were any eggs in the road, Su Zhen walked over and took a look, and sure enough, there were still seven eggs lying in the nest.
Looking at this big family, Su Zhen was a little worried, this egg is easy to take, but how to get these eight swans out of it.
Helplessly, Su Zhen was going to get the two big ones back, and then he grabbed two swans, but found that the other geslings didn't need to be caught, and they swayed to follow, Su Zhen secretly thought, next time, you can't just let animals in, this breeding speed is too rebellious.
As soon as Su Zhen entered the yard, Liu Shihua was attracted by the sound of the swan he heard, looked at the two things in Su Zhen's arms and said happily, "What kind of bird is this, it doesn't seem to be a goose, right?" ”
"This is the gray swan, that is, the wild goose we are talking about, Ah Da found it by the lake, and there are six small ones in a nest," Su Zhenchao said as he chirped around the goose.
"It's far away, this is the wild goose, it's beautiful" Liu Shihua's eyes lit up, and he ran over to touch it, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was almost pecked by the old goose, but fortunately he hid quickly. "Ahh
Su Zhen laughed happily, "This thing is the same as a goose, but it is very fierce."
Liu Shihua saw that the goose couldn't touch it, so he squatted suddenly, grabbed a goose from the ground, and played.
At this time, Liu Ru also walked out and asked what was going on.
Su Zhen explained again, "Let's stew these two geese in the evening, these geese are also swans, let's taste what swan meat tastes like today."
As a result, as soon as Su Zhen said this, he was immediately strongly opposed by Liu Ru and Liu Shihua.
"Why are you so cruel, such a cute big bird with a child, you have to eat," Liu Shihua said angrily.
Liu Ru also said, "Whether it is a swan or a wild goose, it is a bird that symbolizes beauty, and it is a pity to eat it" made Su Zhen very helpless, this bird is good-looking, but it is good-looking and can't be eaten~~ This product is still chattering about eating.
After the last, Su Zhen had no choice but to compromise: "Then what should I do?" Is it just a matter of letting it go? ”
"Raise it" Liu Shihua didn't want to return.
Su Zhen smiled bitterly, "My aunt, this is a swan, it's not a goose that can be raised by building a fence, it will fly away, how to raise it"
Liu Shihua choked and couldn't speak.
At this time, Liu Ru spoke: "If you don't fly away, you can raise it, and if you fly away, it's okay to fly away, at least a few geese won't fly away, and it is estimated that they won't fly away before." ”
Liu Shihua nodded hurriedly.
Su Zhen had no choice but to give up the idea of eating geese, put a pair of swans in the yard, and several little geese immediately gathered around their parents.
At this time, Liu Ru saw that Ah Da was still wearing a cloth bag on his body, and asked, "What's in that bag." ”
Su Zhen sighed for a while, it's over, the swan meat can't be eaten, and even the eggs are gone.
Hearing that there were swan eggs in the bag, and looking at her son's pitiful expression, Liu Ru finally showed mercy and announced that she would eat scrambled eggs at night.
When Su Zhen heard this, he was happy again, it was not bad to have swan eggs to eat, and then he looked at the swans who seemed to have settled down in the yard, and said secretly, the coming day is long, and one day I will eat you, and at the same time, I secretly thought, when I return to China, I will get some chickens and ducks to raise, Lao Mei can't eat any good poultry here, there are a lot of chickens, but they are all raised on farms, and the most is turkey, that thing has a lot of meat, but it is too loose, and I didn't eat my head.
With the resentment that he couldn't eat a swan, Su Zhen went to Old John to discuss the matter of buying a helicopter for the ranch.
After listening to Su Zhen's thoughts, Old John said, "It's really good to buy a helicopter, but you don't need to hire a pilot, John (Little John) was fascinated by flying machines for a while when he was young, he can drive it, he has a civil aviation driver's license, and there is no problem with ordinary daily maintenance."
"That's great, no, I'm going to buy two, one for two seats for patrolling the ranch, and one for a larger one, which can seat five or six people, so I still need to hire a pilot," Su Zhen said.
Su Zhen told Old John again that he wanted to raise some chickens, ducks and geese.
"This is easy, when the time comes, you can build a poultry house, that is, if you raise ducks or geese, you need to be near the water source, well, when the time comes, I will ask John to make an active poultry house, and let people pull it over in the morning, but when the time comes, get two dogs to watch, otherwise it will be easy to be taken away by foxes and lynxes." Old John thought for a moment and said.
After discussing with Old John, Su Zhen, who returned to the yard, saw a very funny scene, Liu Shihua was touching the smooth hair of a big swan, and there were a few beautiful tail feathers in his hands, and the swan was very pitiful and was held by Xiao Si by the neck, and he didn't dare to move, the tail feathers on the buttocks were obviously missing a handful, and the other swan was also pressed to the ground by Ah Da, and a few little geese were dangling in the grass without anything.
"Ha Luha, that's how you 'cared' for the swan," Su Zhen laughed quickly.
Liu Shihua wrinkled the cute Qiong's nose and said dissatisfiedly, "Who made these two geese so bad, don't I just want to pluck the hair, and want to bite me?"
Su Zhen couldn't stop laughing when he heard this: "Now I know how the idiom of plucking goose came from."
"You love to be greedy and cheap, and you are the only one who plucks the goose" Liu Shi was on fire, and walked over and pinched Su Zhen fiercely.
Xiao Si and Ah Da saw that Liu Shihua was gone, so they let go of the two swans, and the two swans immediately flew onto the roof and escaped from the clutches of Liu Shihua.
At night, Su Zhen ate fresh scrambled goose eggs, which tasted very good, much better than eggs and duck eggs, and wondered if he would continue to raise the swans in the space, and specially provide himself with swan eggs to eat.
