Chapter 255 Extra Story 1 (Addition)
In the Sishi Yamen to the west of the county office lobby in Xiaoxi Town, Xiao Chong was discussing a drawing of farm tools with county lieutenant Zhang Heng, aide Xiao Ce, and Shishi scribe Wang Lang.

This kind of thing was invented by Xiao Chong on the basis of the original farm tools after discussing with Wang Lang when he inspected the farmland in the countryside and saw the farmers plowing the land.

Wang Lang is not a native of Yanxian County, but one of the Xiao family disciples brought by Xiao Chong when he took office, and he was born in the Mohist family.

At this moment, Shuqi from outside came to report: "Mr. Lang, the Lord of Le'an Township has come to Qinshen Qingtang."

Xiao Chong raised his eyes from the drawing and said, "Okay, go prepare the tea set, I'll be there later."

"Here."

Xiao Chong said to the crowd again: "Let's discuss this matter here, Wang Lang, go and ask the blacksmith to make a farm tool according to the blueprint, and see the actual effect before making a fuss."

The scribe Wang Lang saluted and said, "Here!"

After Xiao Chong gave his orders, he stood up and walked towards the third hall. Although he was still calm, his steps were three minutes faster than usual.

As soon as she entered the main room, she saw Lin Wanwan in a crescent skirt looking up at the couplets in the room. There was a bamboo cage covered with cloth beside her skirt. Listening to the movement, it seemed that there was a... …chicken?

"Cousin, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here without any problems." Xiao Chong crossed his hands in front of his chest, and crossed his hands to Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan turned around and returned the salute: "Thanks to my cousin, I'm usually fine."

Xiao Chong led Lin Wanwan to sit down on the futon in front of the coffee table, and while cooking tea smoothly, asked with a smile: "Cousin, do you want sweet tea?"

Lin Wanwan knelt and sat opposite Xiao Chong, and said leisurely: "Sweet tea is also boring, can you give me clear tea that doesn't add any oil, salt or spices?"

Xiao Chong happily said: "Yes."

Lin Wanwan turned her head and waved to Hua Nong who was kneeling not far behind her: "Bring the white feather chicken."

"Here." Hua Nong got up and took the cage and put it beside Lin Wanwan. Lin Wanwan lifted the curtain, revealing the white-feathered chicken with its legs tied inside, and pushed it forward with a smile, watching Xiao Chong without saying a word.

"White chicken?" Xiao Chong looked at it in surprise for a while, then turned to look directly at Lin Wanwan and said, "My cousin always surprises people, but where did this come from?"

Lin Wanwan evaded and did not answer: "Cousin thinks this is considered auspicious, can you pay tribute to the saint?"

Xiao Chong withdrew his gaze, kept cooking tea, and said calmly but definitely: "Naturally."

Lin Wanwan said joyfully, "That's good."

Then he raised his bright eyes and said to Xiao Chong: "Cousin, there are more than one auspicious chickens like Linjiazhuang, there are hundreds of them, and this kind of white-feathered chickens can be slaughtered in only one and a half months. I found such a good chicken. Chicken breed, how should my cousin reward me?"

Xiao Chong moved his eyes to the white-feathered chicken for a while, then stared at Lin Wanwan's eyes and said: "Cousin, the value of auspiciousness lies in its scarcity, and having too many of them may not be a good thing. If this chicken is really ready to be slaughtered as fast as my cousin said, yes It may be a good thing for others, but not for my cousin."

The complacent expression on Lin Wanwan's face froze, seeing that Xiao Chong didn't seem to be talking nonsense, she couldn't help but said: "The broiler chicken that can be slaughtered in one and a half months means to Datang who is short of food, it is impossible for my cousin to understand, why is it not a good thing?" ?”

Xiao Chong didn't speak, and after frothing the tea, he poured a cup of clear tea that Lin Wanwan had specified without adding any seasonings into the small porcelain cup in front of Lin Wanwan, and said slowly: "Cousin, please use tea.

Those who are abnormal in things are demons, why do they exist?

Ordinary domestic chickens grow up in one year, but this white chicken will grow up after a month. If the news spreads, I am afraid that people may not dare to eat it.Not only dare not, but it may even cause panic, mistakenly thinking that it is transformed by a monster.

And you who discovered the monster, you can imagine the criticism you will bear. "

"How could this be a monster? This is obviously auspicious. How can anyone think so wildly!" Lin Wanwan's complexion changed, and she screamed inwardly. Although she questioned her, she knew in her heart that what Xiao Chong said was definitely not alarmist .

Not to mention the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago, even the modern age where compulsory education has been rapidly popularized thousands of years later, rumors about the demonization of white-feathered chickens have never stopped.

Rumors about "six-winged chicken", "hormone chicken", "poisonous chicken" and "medicine chicken" have always been popular.

In fact, the fast growth is not due to taking hormones, but entirely because of the characteristics of the breeds bred. Feeding hormones will not speed up the growth of white feather chickens, but will have the adverse effect of causing diseases.

As for the six wings, it is nonsense. People are only deeply rooted in the concept that free-range chickens can be slaughtered in a year, and they cannot understand that chickens can be slaughtered in a month and a half.

The per capita annual consumption of white-feathered chickens in the United States is 47 kg, while that in China is only 5.7 kg.

Although the white feather chicken obviously has various advantages such as good nutrition, short feeding cycle, and high feed conversion rate, but the voice of doubt has never stopped.

The white-feathered chicken became a frequent visitor on the dining table of the Chinese people, and it was realized after a long period of popular science and anti-rumor struggles.

The more intelligent a nation is, the more it will question abnormal things, which is why rulers relatively like to fool people.

The breaking of rumors in later generations is due to the popularization of education and the development of the Internet, but Datang thousands of years ago did not have this condition.

But there is definitely a market for rumors, because history always has striking similarities.The two characteristics of white color and fast growth alone are enough to spread all kinds of fantasy rumors.

Lin Wanwan recalled the puzzled and shocked eyes of the people in the clan, and suddenly felt a little discouraged.

Things that are too beyond the times really cannot be taken out casually.

What if everyone discovers their "magical" self along the "magical" white feather chicken?Will he burn himself to death as a monster?
The clansmen can obey and defend themselves because of their interests related to them, even if they have doubts in their hearts, they will not do anything to her, but outsiders may not, there will definitely be attacks against her.

"Ah!" Thinking of this, Lin Wanwan suddenly looked like a deflated ball, propped her elbows on the tea table without regard for etiquette, and looked at Xiao Chong with her face on her face and asked, "Cousin, will you believe me?"

Xiao Chong smiled slightly at her, with light in his eyes: "Xin, but..."

"It's good for my cousin to trust me." Lin Wanwan interrupted Xiao Chong, "There is no need to say anything else, I want to understand. I did this carelessly, please keep my cousin a secret. Do you want this white feather chicken?" Dedicated to the emperor, cousin, you can decide for yourself, so you don’t need to mention me. Well, if cousin wants to eat chicken, cousin can also send some more chickens.”

Looking at Lin Wanwan's lonely face, Xiao Chong suddenly felt very strongly that she was going away suddenly, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Thank you cousin for thinking about it, what reward does cousin want? I will never refuse if I can do it."

Lin Wanwan raised her eyes to look at Xiao Chong in surprise when she heard the words, and the other party's clear and deep eyes could not be avoided, with a calm expression on her face.

Strange, this is not like what Xiao Chong, who is white-faced and dark-hearted, would say.
