My village can't be like this

Chapter 605 Chicken

Wang Fang got up very early in the morning and the courtyard gate was opened very early.

But even so, the people outside had no intention of stepping into Zhang An's yard.

Because Xiaohu and the others had already come out of the doghouse and were lying around in the yard.

When most people see little tigers, they can't help but feel scared, let alone get close to them.

Now, under the leadership of Zhang An, everyone stepped into the yard and walked towards the chicken coop.

"Brother, how do you raise these dogs? Just lying there is scary enough."

After passing the courtyard where Xiaohu and the others were staying, the people following Zhang An breathed a sigh of relief. One of them, who looked relatively young, asked Zhang An.

"Haha, we don't really raise them. They eat whatever we eat. Dogs in the countryside are basically like this. But sometimes they will go into the mountains to find food on their own."

Everyone who came was a guest, so Zhang An spoke to them with a smile and in a very kind manner.

"Oh? Are they hounds? I have seen many hounds, but this is the first time I have seen one this big. Can you tell me what breed they are?"

As the saying goes, chasing chickens and chasing dogs are inseparable. These people have just shown a strong interest in Zhang An's big rooster.

Now when they heard Zhang An say that Xiaohu and the others could go into the mountains to hunt by themselves, they became even more curious.

"You can call them hunting dogs, but they are not ordinary hunting dogs. They are the result of a cross between a local wolfhound and a blue wolf from the mountains."

Anyway, I have used this as an excuse before, so it’s okay to wave the banner of Langqing again now.

The main reason is that the little tigers are somewhat similar in size to the blue wolf. Although they are not as tall, they can be completely attributed to the blue wolf.

After all, everyone who has raised a dog knows the instability of dog breeds. It's like a lottery. The good ones are very good, and the bad ones are very bad.

If it were any other dog breed, anyone with a discerning eye would know that they don't match.

"I didn't expect such a good dog to be a mixed breed. I'm still wondering what kind of rare breed it is, but if it's a cross between a blue wolf, it seems to make sense."

When a few people heard that Xiaohu and the others were a group of people, they were very surprised, but when they knew that they were a group of people with Qinglang, they immediately didn't find it strange anymore.

After all, anyone who knows blue wolves knows that they are larger than ordinary wolves, so in their opinion, it is natural for Xiaohu and the others to grow so big.

Moreover, the blood of Xiaohu and the others is not only that of the blue wolf, but also that of the alpha wolf in the wolf pack.

If they knew this, their eyes would probably drop to the ground.

As he was speaking, Zhang An brought a few people to the chicken coop.

"Wow, you actually have so many chickens at home? There must be at least a few hundred of them."

As soon as they entered the chicken coop, they saw the chickens still in the coop and said in surprise.

"Haha, our chickens taste good. Many people come to buy them, so we raise a few more. And this is only a portion. There is still some that we let out outside in the morning."

Today, Zhang An’s chicken coop has grown to a certain size, and it is no exaggeration to call it a chicken farm.

After all, Dongli Yard’s big customers come to buy every now and then. If we don’t raise more, we will run out of supply.

"I see. Then we must buy one at noon to try. But with so many chickens, aren't you afraid that they will run away if you let them roam free like this?"

Several people did not think there was any truth in Zhang An's words, because the overall spirit and fur color of the chickens in the chicken coop gave them the feeling that they were not the characteristics of ordinary farmed chickens.

And if you don’t buy the right ones, raising so many chickens will only cause trouble for yourself.

However, they were still a little curious about why Zhang An's family let so many chickens loose, because they had already seen that there was a hillside behind Zhang An's house.

"Of course, you won't be afraid of them. Once you get used to them, they will come back on their own when the time comes."

Zhang An shook his head and said with a very confident smile.

"Then let's look at the big rooster in your house. I felt it was special just by hearing its crowing. Now I see it with my own eyes. It is indeed a rare and good rooster. Its comb and tail are really long and beautiful. It must be more than one meter long from head to tail."

After a while, the person who chatted with Zhang An at the beginning glanced around the chicken coop and quickly found the big rooster standing on the rope in the air.

"Yes, it is this one. All our chickens obey its orders. That's why we dare to let the chickens go out to roam freely. Every night at a certain time, it will come back with the chickens we let out."

Zhang An nodded and spoke to the other party affirmatively.

At this time, the big rooster did not go out like the other chickens, but stood very steadily on the rope tied in the air with his eyes closed, and on one leg.

The rope is about two meters above the ground. It looks quite high, but it is not a problem for Zhang An's chickens. They just spread their wings and fly up.

Originally this thing was tied to hang some things, but later many chickens in the chicken coop were able to fly onto it, so the idea had to be abandoned.

However, after the big rooster became the leader of the flock, the rope became its exclusive territory and the other chickens stopped jumping up.

"Um, brother, although I'm very embarrassed, I still want to ask, can I catch it and take a look?"

After seeing the big rooster of Zhang An's family, several people were completely attracted to it and couldn't help themselves.

Although they knew that such chickens were not easy to catch, and they might even mess up the bright feathers in the process of catching them.

But they really wanted to take a closer look, so they spoke to Zhang An very embarrassedly.

"Hey, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'll call it over right away."

Zhang An just smiled and acted as if he didn't care, and agreed immediately.

When several people heard Zhang An use the word "call", they didn't understand what it meant.

Just when they were confused, Zhang An reached out and blew a whistle.

As the whistle sounded, the big rooster, which had been standing on one leg in the air with its eyes closed, immediately opened its eyes and flew towards Zhang An.

That’s right, this big rooster had already been tamed by Zhang An. Long before Wang Fang designated it as the leader of the chicken flock at home, Zhang An brought it into the space and tamed it.

It is also because of its flapping wings that a lot of dust is raised wherever it goes.

But soon he stopped on the ground beside Zhang An, and approached Zhang An very closely, but he looked at the other people with a ferocious look, as if he would fly over and peck them if they disagreed with him.

At this moment, the big rooster standing on the ground with its head held high, chest puffed out, and butt raised, fully embodies what it means to be heroic and high-spirited.

The man just now was right. It was more than one meter long from head to tail, but at least half of that was due to its tail. But its tail was very good. Even when it stood on the ground, its tail feathers were still raised high. The red and black feathers made it look like a phoenix.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it looked so beautiful from a distance just now, but I didn't expect it to be even more beautiful when I got closer. This chicken of yours is the most imposing and beautiful rooster we have seen in all these years, bar none."

After observing it for a while, several people praised the big rooster with words, and their eyes looked as if they had seen some treasure.

"Hahaha, I think so too."

Zhang An also agreed with this statement very much. Even the red junglefowl in the mountains were not as beautiful as the big one in their family.

"By the way, brother, I haven't introduced myself yet. We are from the provincial capital, and we have opened a cockfighting club in the provincial capital. We like to collect all kinds of beautiful and powerful fighting cocks and roosters."

Then the middle-aged one among them spoke to Zhang An, and it seemed as if he was the leader of this group of people.

"When we saw your chicken today, we were shocked and wanted to buy it and bring it back to the provincial capital. I wonder what you think, little brother. Don't worry, we are willing to pay the price and we won't let you suffer any loss."

As he spoke, the other party pointed two fingers at Zhang An.

This certainly doesn't mean two hundred yuan. After all, some red roosters with good-looking fur and body shape can be sold for a high price of two hundred yuan if someone buys them to worship gods and ancestors.

Obviously, the chicken from Zhang An's family could not be worth just that little. The other party was willing to pay two thousand yuan for the chicken.

When Zhang An heard this, he understood why they were so interested in his chickens. It turned out that they were experts in this field.

"I'm sorry everyone, my mother treasures this chicken very much, so she won't sell it."

But Zhang An refused without thinking. Although two thousand yuan was a lot of money and could be equivalent to several months' salary for an ordinary person, it was not in Zhang An's eyes.

Moreover, in Zhang An's heart, this rooster is the same as Xiaohu and the others, so he will definitely not sell it.

"Little brother, don't rush to refuse. If you think the money is too little, we can add a little more. How about three thousand?"

When the other party heard Zhang An's refusal, he thought he felt the price was too low, and immediately added another thousand yuan, which was quite generous.

Because this chicken really grew on the apple of his eye, and the fact that Zhang An was able to summon it with ease just now was enough to show that it had been trained very well, and he didn't want to miss it.

"I'm sorry, brother. This is really not about money. Our family has no intention of selling it."

Even though the other party raised the price, Zhang An refused without hesitation.

"Well, well, it looks like I'll have to go home with regret this time. I don't know if I'll be able to meet a chicken like this again in the future. But little brother, here's my business card and the address of our club. If you have the chance in the future, we hope you can bring your chicken to visit us."

Seeing that Zhang An remained unmoved after he raised the price, the other party also understood that he really had no intention of selling.

They don't think that Zhang An's family are ordinary villagers. You have to know that those big dogs in the yard alone are not something that ordinary people can afford to raise or raise well.

So he stopped persuading him, but finally took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Zhang An.

Zhang An took a look and saw that the name on the business card was Zhang Yuting, and he was a relative.

The address of the cockfighting club was in the city center of the provincial capital, which seemed to be of extraordinary origin.

"Although I don't want to sell this one, I can take you to see my other chickens. I think you might be interested."

The other party just said that they like to collect all kinds of beautiful or good fighting fighting cocks and other chickens. Zhang An suddenly thought that he could take them to see the group of golden chickens raised at home.

Although those things are not good at fighting and have nothing to do with fighting cocks, they are definitely pretty.

"Oh? Do you have other chickens at home?"

Hearing this, the other people perked up, and the disappointment on their faces faded a little.

After all, after seeing this big rooster, who can say for sure that Zhang An’s family doesn’t have other better chickens.

"Of course, everyone just follow me."

Zhang An smiled slightly and led them out of the chicken coop and into the big circle.

"Look, that's another kind of chicken I have. What do you think of it?"

Arriving at the back door of the big circle, Zhang An pointed at the golden rooster perched on the tree behind and spoke to the few people.

"This is a golden pheasant? I didn't expect that little brother would raise this thing?"

As soon as the other party saw the golden rooster on the tree, he revealed the true identity of the golden rooster. As expected of someone who plays with chickens, he is quite capable.

"Not only red-bellied pheasants, but also white pheasants."

Just as Zhang Yuting finished speaking, another person pointed to the other side and spoke.

"I have a group of them, but not many. After all, they are good for viewing, so forget about the rest."

Now Zhang An's family has about ten golden roosters and ten white pheasants. It is indeed forbidden to trade and eat wild ones, but the ones Zhang An's family has raised for the second generation, and with the current policy, they don't have to worry about these problems at all.

But he did not domesticate them on a large scale because the quality of their meat was just so-so, and if they could not be eaten and could only be looked at, not many people would be willing to spend money to buy them.

"Can you catch that one and take a look at it?"

After just looking for a while, Zhang Yuting pointed at a golden rooster on the tree and said to Zhang An.

"Of course, you wait here for me."

These golden roosters and white pheasants have not been tamed like the big roosters, so Zhang An cannot summon them and send them away at will.

But they were raised by Zhang An after all, so when Zhang An approached, they were not afraid and were quickly caught by Zhang An.

"Little brother, we want this one. What's your price?"

After observing for a while, Zhang Yuting said to Zhang An.

He thinks this golden rooster is pretty good, with good fur color, good temperament, and it is not that afraid of people. Most importantly, it is safer than buying it from other channels.

It's not like they haven't bought this stuff before, but those people basically bought it from the mountains. The stuff they bought couldn't be seen in public, and it was too wild to be displayed.

Zhang An's family is raising these animals, so they don't have to worry about other problems at all.
