My Live Life at the Zoo

Chapter 376 Farewell to the Overlord Chicken and Beggar Chicken!

"Green peacocks are active during the day, especially in the morning and afternoon. They often climb trees or rest in the shade of the forest at noon, and perch on trees at night.

Because they are particularly alert, timid and afraid of people. "

Li Xiao was doing simple science popularization while working.

Because Tao Yaoyao also came out of the office to help very considerately.

In order to let Tao Yaoyao know more about the living habits of the green peacock, she paid more attention to the decadent green peacock Xiaoling on weekdays, and naturally began to popularize it verbally.

"What does the green peacock like to eat?"

Tao Yaoyao followed behind Li Xiao and asked.

Every time Li Xiao turns up the soil in front of him with a hoe, she follows behind and kicks Li Xiao's unturned clods from time to time to ensure that every part of the soil is turned soft enough to make the green peacocks small. Ridge was a comfortable stay.

Li Xiao said: "The green peacock has a mixed diet and basically eats everything.

All kinds of vegetables and fruits, seeds of plants, grasshoppers, crickets, moths, termites, stinkbugs, earthworms, lizards, frogs and other animals are their food. "

Tao Yaoyao is very eager to learn, and continued to ask: "Is the main reason why they can become national first-class protected animals is that they often spoil the crops of ordinary people?"

"You're really half right!"

Li Xiao was relieved and took a look at Tao Yaoyao. It is true that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. After staying with him for so long, Tao Yaoyao has gradually become an "encyclopedia of beasts", saying: "The English name of a peacock is Peafowl, in translation, is a chicken that eats peas.

This name basically sums up one of their habits.

Some green peacocks that inhabit near cultivated land often flock to the cultivated land for food, causing damage to crops.

In order to protect their crops, farmers at that time would soak the seeds with pesticides before sowing. This practice naturally caused the whole group of green peacocks to be "disasterd".

The living environment of green peacocks is shrinking day by day, which is a major reason why it is difficult to find their traces.

As farmers scattered cattle and sheep in some mountain forests where green peacocks lived, they drove back cattle and sheep in the evening. The peacock caused a great disturbance.

A large number of cattle and sheep are scattered in the core area of ​​the nature reserve, which has caused certain impact and damage to the living environment and food of the green peacock.

In addition, due to overgrazing of cattle and sheep, there is a lack of understory vegetation in the green peafowl's habitat.

Of course, these are relatively minor reasons, and all the faults cannot be attributed to farmers. After all, farmers also want to make a living. The reason why green peacocks are extinct on a large scale is mainly due to the wanton hunting of poachers.

As the largest pheasant bird, coupled with their beautiful feathers, they are easy to be hunted.

Before the 20s, the green peafowl population was still relatively large in Yunnan.

In 1995, there were only about [-] to [-] green peacocks left in Yunnan province.

On May 17, 5, the International Day of Biological Diversity, YN Province has listed the green peacock as a critically endangered species.

Up to now, the global population of green peacocks is about [-] to [-], and the adult birds are about [-] to [-].

This is just a rough statistic and needs further refinement.

But if this situation continues, the number of green peacocks will be even rarer than that of giant pandas in a short time. "

After hearing this, Tao Yaoyao nodded thoughtfully, and said: "It seems that we really need to cure this little green peacock."

"Of course! At least arrange a comfortable and quiet living environment for it first, so that it can feel our kindness!"

The more Li Xiao talked, the more energetic he became.

After a while, he brandished a hoe and turned over the open space.

Originally, Li Xiao planned to plant some rare flowers and plants here, but judging from the current situation, it is better to let the green peacock Xiaoling live here first. It has lived here for a long time, and the cakes it pulls out can be regarded as adding to the soil here. Nutrition.

It will not be too late to plant flowers and plants when the Green Peacock Ridge is fully recovered.

After digging the ground, Li Xiao started chopping branches with an axe.

When the height of the split is about the same, they are inserted one by one around the cleared ground.

In the past, people in rural areas raised animals such as chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, because they were too poor to live in brick houses, so naturally they would not build brick houses for animals, so they kept animals in captivity in this simple way .

Li Xiao had done these rough jobs when he was a child, and he was already familiar with them.

Tao Yaoyao has never done it before, but out of curiosity and because she really likes animals and Li Xiao in her heart, she also took a hand saw and tried it slowly.

As for Xiao Hei, from time to time, he used his mouth to pick up an angular branch and placed it in front of the two of them.

People and animals live in harmony, and the scene was once very comfortable.

In an instant, it seemed to be back to the early days of the zoo's opening, when Li Xiao led all the animals to do all kinds of rough work in tacit understanding to repair the zoo.

Time flies.

At that time, Li Xiao had nothing but the system and a group of obedient animals.

But now, he has gained a large number of fans by virtue of his conscientious live broadcast, and he is even accompanied by beauties.

About two hours later, with the tacit cooperation of Li Xiao, Tao Yaoyao and Xiao Hei, the barren open space was finally transformed into the green peacock's home.

In order to make the green peacock live more comfortably, Li Xiao also spread a thick layer of turf on the open space.

In addition, some beautiful flowers are also decorated.

"Perfect!"

"It's so beautiful! I want to live here!"

"The director is really kind to that green peacock! I'm so envious!"

"In the next life, I will be reborn as an animal, and I will live in the director's zoo!"

"You can always trust the director's craftsmanship! I once suspected that the director's main business is craftsmanship, and the sideline is running a zoo and live broadcasting!"

As soon as it was built, the tourists in the live broadcast room cheered.

Not to mention these tourists who can only be seen through the live broadcast room, even Xiao Hei, who can see every corner up close, barked excitedly.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Xiao Hei: I can live here at night, I want to accompany that sick peacock, I will be its bodyguard!Let me tell you first, Ben Wang is mainly kind-hearted, not because he wants to be comfortable and beautiful here!
Li Xiao rolled his eyes and directly rejected it in this way.

Green Peacock Ridge needs rest and rest, and must not be disturbed.

When everything was arranged, Li Xiao and Tao Yaoyao went to check the green peacock hill in the iron cage.

Because after watching the Green Peacock Ridge for so long, it will no longer be afraid, at least it will eat a little bit.

but……

Didn't even touch it!
Before leaving, the food that Li Xiao placed was intact, Green Peacock Xiaoling even pecked at random with his mouth, but there was nothing at all.

Li Xiao found the staff in charge of monitoring, and he said: "Since Li Xiao left, no one or any animal disturbed the Green Peacock Xiaoling, but it was still curled up in the corner of the iron cage, from the beginning to the end. I didn't move a bit, and I don't know what's going on in my little head."

For this, Li Xiao was really helpless.

Some animals are spiritual and human, even ferocious tigers and lions can communicate by themselves.

But this guy's heart has been traumatized, and he has completely closed himself. No matter how he communicates, it's useless.
Tao Yaoyao also felt a little helpless, and asked, "What shall we do next?"

"No way!"

Li Xiao shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said, "Let's put it in the small courtyard we built first, let it stay there for one night, and check the situation first, I hope it can live comfortably there, And feel our kindness, willing to eat."

Immediately doing what he said, Li Xiao quickly came to the small courtyard next to the office, carrying the iron cage.

The iron cage was opened immediately, and the green peacock Xiaoling was released.

I thought that seeing such a comfortable environment, Green Peacock Xiaoling would relax a bit.

however……

After getting out of the iron cage, it lay on the corner of the wall again, silently in a daze.

Seeing all this, Li Xiao and Tao Yaoyao looked at each other with frustration written all over their faces.

At this time.

Reba and the little sheep Zhang Yixing hurried over.

"What happened?"

Li Xiao turned his head and asked first.

The little sheep, Zhang Yixing, was embarrassed, and said, "Director, I have a temporary job, so I have to leave now. I'm really sorry. I wanted to stay with you for a few more days."

"It's okay, you big stars are all busy, and various things will happen from time to time, I completely understand."

Li Xiao directly gave the little sheep Zhang Yixing a big hug, and said, "Don't be embarrassed, you can continue to play if you have time in the future, I welcome you anytime."

"Thank you, principal!"

After a hasty farewell, Zhang Yixing, the little sheep, left.

His staff has already driven the car to the gate of the zoo, as long as they leave the zoo, they can leave immediately.

Watching off the little sheep Zhang Yixing's park, Li Xiao turned to look at Reba at the side, and said, "You don't want to leave now, do you?"

"No no no, I can stay until tomorrow morning."

Reba waved his hands again and again, and then said with great anticipation: "Hey, I want to taste the old turtle made by you, director!"

Reba's foodie nature is confirmed!

Li Xiao laughed: "Anyway, there is nothing to do in the zoo now, and now we will go down the mountain to do it for you."

"Good, good, good!"

Reba cheered happily.

The greedy one has already licked his lips lightly with his tongue.

The seemingly simple action is full of temptation.

Before leaving the zoo, Li Xiao also put some more food in the courtyard.

In case Green Peacock Xiaoling is too hungry, he will secretly eat some at night.

As long as it is eaten, its body will definitely improve.

Li Xiao still had this fluke mentality.

Soon, return to Tongfu Inn.

After Li Xiao washed his hands, he plunged into the kitchen.

Tonight he is going to make two main dishes: Farewell My Concubine and Beggar's Chicken.

The so-called Farewell My Concubine is actually stewed chicken.

A chicken and an old turtle are stewed together, the emphasis is on the hen and the male turtle, and the hen must be placed underneath.

In the first step, Li Xiao disemboweled and bled an old turtle he found last night, and the hen did the same.

The second step is to blanch the old turtle in boiling water to remove the green fascia on the shell and hooves, rub it carefully, remove the fascia and internal organs, and keep the old turtle liver for eating.

The old soft-shelled turtles that have been treated and washed will not be so green in appearance.

In the third step, you need to put the old turtle and chicken in the cold water pot, add ginger slices, star anise and other soup seasonings.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat.

When stewing, keep skimming off the blood and foam to make the soup clear.

The fourth step, that is, after more than an hour, after stewing until the essence of the ingredients comes out, the meat is rotten, the soup color becomes clear and smooth, and finally salt is added. Before turning off the fire, add a little white pepper and MSG to taste, sprinkle with Coriander, ready to serve.

Li Xiao made it while explaining, his sword skills were fascinated, and his speed was as fast as his mouth.

The two beauties Reba and Tao Yaoyao at the side were stunned.

The same is true for the tourists in the live broadcast room.

However, the tourists in the live broadcast room were more shocked when Li Xiao gave this dish a name.

"Farewell My Concubine? Bastard Sleeping Chicken? This name is obtained, one word, absolutely!"

"The director is really a genius for naming names!"

"Is this the principal driving the car?"

"Dirty, dirty, the little train is leaving, this time the destination is kindergarten, please get on the train in an orderly manner."

When the tourists in the live broadcast room got into the car one after another, Li Xiao had already stewed 'Farewell My Concubine'.

The next step is to make beggar chicken.

Reba and Tao Yaoyao seemed to feel a little embarrassed to watch, so they started to help.

Reba took out a frozen cock from the refrigerator.

Tao Yaoyao fetched a bucket of water from the well and soaked the rooster in the water.

The water drawn from this spiritual well is rich in minerals, and it tastes sweet and refreshing. Drinking it often is more beneficial to the body, and it is many times more delicious than the tap water in the city.

Soak the chicken in well water, one is to melt the frost on the chicken, and the other is to wash off the fishy smell on the chicken.

"You are this?"

Li Xiao walked out of the kitchen and asked suspiciously.

Tao Yaoyao raised her head and said, "Help you be a beggar chicken!"

"Listen to me, you two beauties, that's not what beggar chickens do!"

Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said: "Only the beggar's chicken made from live chickens can keep the taste delicious, this frozen chicken is not suitable for beggar's chicken!

Besides, there are no fresh lotus leaves now, and the beggar chicken made has no soul at all! "

"Who said there are no lotus leaves?"

Tao Yaoyao asked back.

Then, under Li Xiao's suspicious gaze, he entered the room and took out two lotus leaves from the refrigerator.

It's just that the lotus leaves are a little yellow, obviously because they have been stored in the refrigerator for a long time, and the water and the fragrance of the lotus leaves have all disappeared.

"This lotus leaf is a bit dry, it can't be used at all!"

Li Xiao curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, I'll find some fresh lotus leaves. As for the live chickens, I'll kill them when I come back."

As soon as the words fell, Li Xiao had already rushed out of the Tongfu Inn at an extremely fast speed.

As for Reba and Tao Yaoyao, after looking at each other, they began to deal with the well water and frozen chicken tacitly without saying a word.

They didn't expect that their kindness to help would be a waste of help, so they could only try their best to clean up the mess as soon as possible.
