Chapter Ninety-Eight: Three Secrets to Raising This Chicken
After the Doomsday War, although the giant ships of the human race destroyed the demons, the number of elves on the continent at that time had dropped to a shocking number.
Maybe the indigenous people are more suitable to survive, give them two hundred years, and the indigenous people can give birth to the population of an empire.
However, it is too difficult for the elves to recover, their fertility is low, the growth cycle is long, and it will take tens of thousands of years to return to the pre-war population level.
Moreover, the remnants of the demons still come out from time to time to make trouble, and it is already a luxury to replenish the population damaged by the war, let alone grow.
The Liddells also had a lot of headaches, and they tried to convince the elves to accept cloning.
This was categorically rejected by the elves.
The cloning technology is contrary to the nature teachings of Shiloxian, and for the elves, death is not terrible, it is just the return of the soul to the feet of the Divine Mansion. But does the Elven Kingdom of Heloxian accept the cloned elves? Or whether the clone elf has a soul or not, this is obviously an ethical question, not a theological one, and the elven god Shiloshin could not answer.
Aircraft cannons can't work, then millet rifles. Liddell's biologists looked into it and gave the HΓ©raults two pieces of advice.
The first point is to break the blood ties of the clan and encourage the elves to leave their own tribes and find partners in other tribes. One of the reasons for the low fertility of elves is that the group lives together and is inbred.
Only large-scale intermarriage and the exchange of excellent genes will make the offspring stronger and stronger.
The second point is to pay attention to premarital physical examination and eugenic screening. Elves tend to be loyal to their partners, but if a couple can't have children, this loyalty can be more troublesome for the race. Elves have a lot of recessive infertility genes on their chromosomes, and if they can be screened before marriage, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the number of infertile couples.
The Liddellians have supported many medical workers and medical instruments in the Castilian world, helping the Eero elves to perform various medical examinations.
Well, these two points are not much rejected by the Eero elves. After all, it has reached the verge of extinction of the country and the species, and it is not right to be hypocritical.
So many young elves endured their homesickness and spontaneously left their hometowns to find their mates in distant places. And one by one, Liddell medical stations are opening in the elven settlements.
"I have to say, you humans are still very set. For more than a thousand years, we have sacrificed many lives against the remnants of demons, but the total population is far greater than it was before the war. β
"Human ...... Harmful ......"
While Yolanda was showing off his level of history lessons, Mr. Knut kept wrinkling his old face and staring at Xiaobai. However, the old man was indeed too old, and his reaction was slow enough, and Yolanda was already in the back, and he began to refute the previous words.
"Human ...... Let's ...... Milk ...... It's ......"
"Master, that's a rumor, I've refuted it many times."
In fact, Yolanda himself is still very grateful to the Liddell people, if it weren't for them, how could he see so many handsome guys from the five-lake-four-sea, each with their own style in Qiping Town, oh hehehe!
The handsome guys in the north are domineering, the handsome guys in the east are gentle as honey, the handsome guys in the west are humorous, and the handsome guys in the south are ...... It's not good in the south, the dead dad is from the south, and it's all picky and boring.
There are so many handsome guys, how should you choose? There are two years to come of age, and no matter who you choose, won't everyone else be heartbroken?
I'm such a sinful woman......
The female ranger laughed so wildly that Maruko choked on his trachea.
"It's so wicked......"
The old treeman's evaluation was only late at this time.
Hao Yun and Xiaobai looked at Yolanda with blazing eyes, of course, it had nothing to do with her tea thoughts. What surprised the two of them was this fantasy elf version of eugenics, if it was a few thousand years later, the elves would be blown up - mouth, wouldn't they have to shout out that it was good to give birth to only one?
"So we have a lot of children in the Elro elves." Yolanda cleaned up for a while, and finally remembered that he was going to send the two of them to the medical station, "I can't say clearly, you can go to the medical station and see." β
"But you'd better accompany me home first, I remember, I promised to bring Dr. Chanai a basket of eggs last time."
The home of Yolanda and Alveta, perched on a small hill pack. Three oak trees grow facing each other, and the foliage is entangled to create a small but delicate space. Where there should be doors and windows, the oaks have made holes for growth, and it seems that the druids communicated with them when they were growing.
Outside the house, a half-man-high fence grew from a thick green vine, enclosing the hill. There are also small thorns growing inward on the thick stalks of the plant, intimidating the small creatures in the circle not to try to escape.
This is Yolanda's chicken farm, and unlike humans, the elves care more about following nature, and only raise more than forty chickens on such a large mountain bag.
If it were a human chicken farm, there would be at least ten times as many as many. Overcrowded poultry will eat everything inside, even the roots of the grass will be dug up and eaten.
Yolanda's chicken farm, on the other hand, was lush with grass, and the big fat chickens with yellow feathers roamed leisurely in it, pecking out a bug from time to time.
"This should be considered an authentic chicken." Hao Yun pointed at the same time enviously while visiting.
On Earth, there is no such good chicken for you to eat. The white-feathered chicken of K Kee is said to have an excellent breed. But these poor little guys, from hatching to slaughtering, spend their short lives on the production line.
You can imagine how bad the taste is.
"What's more, this egg is also an authentic egg."
Little Bai's saliva flowed out, and she picked up an egg, which was small in size and healthy in color, and if it was boiled, it would be very delicious.
"It's not as mysterious as you say, you should feed it or feed it, otherwise you won't be able to lay an egg for many days, and you won't lay eggs at all in winter."
As he said this, Yolanda took out a basket from the house containing unknown grain. The chicken girl didn't change her clothes, and put a dirty robe directly on the outside of the delicate leather armor.
"Goo-goo! Goo-goo! β
The elven maiden's mouth made a sound, and the chickens immediately gathered around her, pecking at the spilled grain at her feet.
"Yolanda, don't you eat your chickens here that only lay eggs?"
Hao Yun made a small calculation in his heart, if Yolanda could sell him a chicken, he could stew a pot of chicken soup for Xiaobai. The injured must always make up for their bodies.
"Hey, don't be too greedy, eggs can be given to you, chickens can't."
Yolanda immediately saw through him and said, "How many houses are waiting in line for my chickens, but this year only five chickens have stopped laying eggs at most, so don't think about it." β
"Your chicken farm is really popular." Little White Road.
"Not really."
"Wait a minute." Hao Yun interrupted them, "Aren't elves vegetarians?" β
Isn't it all written in the books, elves love life and don't eat meat. Of course, he himself never regarded Xiaobai as an elf.
"Prejudice!" The two girls despised him in unison.
"Ah, although our elves tend to be vegetarian in their diet, when did they stop eating meat? You humans are really excessive, and you eat all the meat, right? Yolanda put one hand on his waist and began to teach Hao Yun a lesson.
"I've read your novels that describe us eating fruits, drinking nectar, and singing in circles on the flower-covered grass every day. Ah, it's full of beautiful words, but do you humans really think of us as carefree monkeys? But forget it. Yolanda shook her head with a wave of her hand, "The humans of Castile are all finished, and it's useless to talk about it. β
Hao Yun was so frightened by her that he had nothing to say.
"Yolanda, ignore this big idiot." Xiaobai took her hand, "Hehe, your chickens are so popular, is there any secret to the druids?" β
"My old man has no secrets, I'm all good." The chicken girl Tian shamelessly took all the credit of her father and began to show off her experience, "First of all, we must purchase excellent varieties from the big cities, and their druids there have a very good way to screen out the best laying hens through the crossbreeding of good breeds from all over the world." Then, to make the chicks happy, you have to treat them as friends and talk to them often, so that the eggs they lay will be big and good. β
As she spoke, she picked up a chicken and teased it for a while.
"Look, it's called Ninelle, I like it the most, look at these feathers, they are neat, how beautiful."
Ninelle flapped her wings on Jodaran's hand, and the chicken girl had to throw it back to the ground.
"I'll tell you, even if Ninelle doesn't lay eggs, I won't eat it, hahaha!"
"There's one last secret, but don't spread the word about it, I'll tell you if you're a good friend." Yolanda sneakily approached and whispered, "I often ask Gigi, Daddy's wolverine, to scare them. The wolverines are chasing after them, and the chickens are scared, so they will run around the world desperately.
You must know that it is useless to have a good breed and have a good life. Because the chicks will grow very fat, they are not healthy at all, and the eggs they lay are not delicious.
Because they are chased by Gigi every day, they exercise and will be very healthy, and the eggs they lay are particularly delicious. Let me tell you, as long as it's our egg, I can eat it in one bite! β
"Awesome!"
Hao Yun and Xiaobai gave Yolanda a thumbs up together.
Yolanda feeds the chickens, and Xiaobai and Hao Yun help pick up the eggs that are scattered in the grass. The reward they get happens to be the basket of eggs they picked up. When he was done, Yolanda brought another basket of eggs from the house, which he was going to take to the medical station and bring to Dr. Chanai the Liddell.
