Chapter 1096: Feeding

In fact, the reproduction speed of pheasants is not good, in the valley is just a foil, hares and wild boars are the main ingredients produced in the valley in the future, hares are expensive in the ability to reproduce super strong, and wild boars are larger, one can make many people full, when these few kinds of game are multiplied in large quantities, you can sell to the restaurants and restaurants in Chang'an City, with the consumption power of the people in the capital, it is definitely in short supply, even if there are ten more valleys, the game produced is not enough to consume, and the remuneration is naturally very high, there can definitely be several times the profit.

In any era, it is rare and expensive, wild boars and hares belong to game, and game is becoming less and less over the years, the price has naturally risen, specializing in breeding these such as can make a lot of money, as for pheasants, because the reproductive ability is not very strong, the price is naturally not low, and in the valley in front of you, the value of the colorful pheasant is greater, in the entire Tang Empire, the total number of colorful pheasants, I am afraid that there are less than a hundred, have caught up with the standard of endangered animals, the price is conceivable, As for the Americas, there are a large number of colorful pheasants, and the price is sky-high after transportation, so when the number of colorful pheasants in the valley reaches hundreds, they can be put on the market, and only the restaurants with the highest specifications are eligible to buy this type of pheasant, and the price is extremely high.

In addition, in this valley, there is also a Feilong pheasant from the Yingzhou area, which is also a very excellent pheasant category, and after being made into dishes, the taste is very delicious, which is simply the best in the world.

And the reason why this pheasant is called a flying dragon is because the pheasant's claws have scales, just like dragon claws, and the neck bone is long and curved, like a keel, so it has this beautiful name.

Of course, some people say that the taste of this pheasant is too delicious, and eating this pheasant is the same as eating dragon meat, and this pheasant can fly very high, so it is called a flying dragon.

Unlike pheasants that like to live in groups, the Flying Dragon pheasant prefers male and female pairs, inseparable, has the reputation of mandarin ducks in the forest, they like to inhabit the shrubs or pine and birch mixed forests, the feathers are smoky gray, the tail end has black stripes, the eyes are maroon-red, the female bird is slightly brown, the throat is brown, often hidden on the branches, people are not easy to find, the ability to lay eggs is average, about spring will lay less than ten eggs, less than a month to hatch, the food changes with the seasons, mainly eat plants, but also eat some insects, in winter into the snow overnight, in the field of food is not much different from other pheasants.

"Li Shilang, this colorful pheasant is actually a tribute from the Americas, this is too precious, that is, if you eat one, you will have one less! How many colorful pheasants are there in this valley? ”

Li Yu asked.

Li An didn't know very well, so he had to answer: "The five colorful pheasants at home, together with the eight chickens that have not grown up, have been put into this valley, and now how many are left, I really don't know, maybe a few were eaten by wild boars, or they may have laid eggs and hatched again, and it is possible that there are a few more than before, in general, there are only a few big ones, and now I want to eat colorful pheasants, it is not realistic, it is better to catch a few flying dragons to satisfy my hunger." ”

"This king didn't say that he wanted to eat colorful pheasants, but this flying dragon seems to be very precious, are there many of them in the valley?"

Li Yu asked.

"Not much, not much, it is estimated that there are only more than 20 flying dragons, which were bought from the capital, and there are eight roosters, which are now stocked here, although there are not many, but in the jungles around Yingzhou, there are still a lot, and there are also dishes of flying dragons in the taverns in the capital."

Li An said.

Although the Feilong pheasant is also very rare, after all, there are many in the forests of Yingzhou, and there are no more than a hundred colorful pheasants in Datang, and the remaining large number of colorful pheasants are still in the dense forests of the Americas.

In the aristocratic class of the Tang Dynasty, there are many people who have eaten Feilong pheasant, and even ordinary hunters have eaten it, and the colorful pheasant is different, not to mention eating the colorful pheasant, there are not many people who have seen the colorful pheasant, except for dozens of them in the Royal Animal Garden, the rest are in the homes of a few powerful people like Li An, and, because it is rewarded by the emperor, the number is so scarce, naturally no one dares to eat it, I am afraid that no one in the entire Tang Dynasty has eaten the meat of the colorful pheasant?

"Forget it, just a few of them, let's stay in the valley and raise them! We didn't come to eat and drink, we just came to see. ”

Li Yu was not hungry, and continued to walk forward after speaking.

Walking in the hanging passage surrounded by the branches of the pear tree is very comfortable, and after this pear grove, there is a mixed fruit forest in front of it, but most of the fruit trees are relatively low, under the hanging passage, only a few branches stretch to the height of the guardrail on both sides of the passage, so that people can pull the branches of these fruit trees with a slight wave of their hands.

It's not all fruit trees, there are a few willows, and even tall pines and some small bushes, after all, these are all naturally formed trees, not artificially designed, it is impossible to be very neat, and there will be no situation where an area is the same kind of tree, otherwise, there will be traces of man-made carving.

"Whoa......"

Just as everyone was walking slowly, several huge wild boars suddenly sprang out from their feet, and they put on a provocative posture with great momentum.

Although these wild boars are below, there is a distance of two zhang from the suspended passage, even if these wild boars break their legs, it is impossible to jump on the suspended passage, that is to say, although these wild boars are vicious, they can't actually threaten Li An and others standing on a high place at all.

However, although the wild boar can't actually threaten everyone, the fierce and vicious momentum is still quite scary, and in addition, the wild boar has a bad smell, which is indeed a little choking.

"Li Shilang, this wild boar looks so fierce! If we're down there at the moment, that's bad. ”

"Look at this momentum, this wild boar can kill."

"Such a ferocious wild boar must taste very delicious."

Several emperors and grandsons are not afraid, after all, the height advantage is here, and wild boars cannot threaten them.

Li An said with a smile: "That's right, the more wild the wild boar, the more delicious the taste, only in this way to raise wild boar, what you get is a real wild boar, if you put the wild boar in the cage, it is not a pure wild boar, and the meat quality is almost no different from the domestic boar." ”

However, the wild boars are too wild, and it is not necessarily a good thing, first of all, the danger is a problem that is not easy to solve, and if these wild boars go crazy, they may destroy the buildings that have been painstakingly built in the valley.

Seeing that Li An and the others were condescending to despise him, he suddenly went crazy and attacked the concrete pillar disguised as a tree, as if trying to break the pillar so that Li An and his party could fall.

Although the concrete pile is strong enough, with the big fangs and body of the wild boar, the pillar cannot be broken in any case, but the weight of the wild boar is very large, and every impact will cause a lot of vibration, and once the pillar shakes, the hanging passage above will also shake, which really makes Li An and the others startled.

"Oops! Li Shilang, this wild boar's temper is too big! Will this pillar be broken by a wild boar? ”

"But we must not be broken, if the pillar is broken, we will not be miserable."

"It's too dangerous here, Li Shilang, let's leave quickly!"

Several imperial grandsons were a little scared, and their bodies involuntarily bent downward to prevent themselves from being turned upside down.

Li An also felt a little surprised, the character of these wild boars was too irritable, and they actually attacked the concrete pillar desperately, what are you going to do, you want to eat people!

However, Li An has enough confidence in the concrete pillars he designed, no matter how these wild boars toss, it is absolutely impossible to break the columns, and no matter how big the movement is, it is not enough for Li An and the others to fall from the suspended passage, and they can have no scruples at all.

"Don't worry! This pillar is made of concrete, not to mention a wild boar, even if a rhinoceros rushes from a distance, it will not want to break this concrete pillar, let's take a good look here, to see how long these beasts can hit. ”

Li An said confidently.

After the initial panic, everyone became more and more calm, after all, gradually everyone saw that the ferocious boar below could not play any new tricks at all, except for hitting the concrete pillar with brute force, it made an ugly roar, and no matter how the wild boar used brute force to hit the cement pillar, it did not cause the slightest damage to the cement pillar, the vibration was not bad at first, but slowly it became weaker and weaker, so that it could not be felt.

After all, wild boars are also made of meat, and when they hit the cement pillar, their bodies must be very painful, and after hitting them a few times, they found that there was no effect, so they naturally had no energy.

For example, when seeing a bird's nest on a branch, the wild boar will hit the trunk hard, causing the eggs in the bird's nest to fall to the ground, so that the wild boar can have a full meal.

At this time, the wild boar probably also wanted to eat meat, and actually launched an attack on the concrete pillar under Li An and the others.

After a continuous attack, the wild boar no longer had the strength to continue attacking, and his mouth made a humming unconvinced sound, but his body was much more honest, and he didn't continue to attack.

There was even a wild boar that began to flip the fallen leaves underneath with his mouth, probably looking for food underneath the fallen leaves!

"Look, these brutes have run out of strength and are starting to look for something to eat, haha!"

Li Yu said with a smile.

"What is there to eat under this fallen leaf, I can't see what the wild boar is eating!"

"Yes! Just look at it arching under the leaves, and I can't see what this wild boar is eating! ”

Several imperial grandsons said.

There are many recipes for wild boars, whether it is the fruit of plants, dried fruits, or various animals, wild boars can eat, and there seems to be nothing that wild boars can not eat, I feel that wild boars are the same as people, animals that can eat anything, as long as the food is not poisonous, all the food that humans can eat, wild boars can eat.

"Wild fruit, I saw wild boar eating wild fruit, it seems to be a date, not too similar, just a fruit as big as a date."

"I also saw that wild boars eat these things in the wild."

Several imperial grandsons said.

Li An smiled faintly and said: "There are many recipes for wild boars, as long as it is something that people can eat, wild boars can be eaten, do you have anything to eat?" ”

After speaking, he looked at several imperial grandchildren.

"Pastry OK?"

An imperial grandson pulled out a few pieces of court pastry from his body.

"Haha! Of course, the wild boar has never eaten such a delicious thing, feed it to eat it, and see if the wild boar eats it. ”

Li An said.

Since wild boars are omnivores, they naturally eat everything, and human processed food is no exception, and it will be very fragrant.

When the emperor heard this, he did not hesitate to throw the pastry he wanted to eat next to the wild boar.

The boar suddenly saw the food in front of him, and was so frightened that he retreated for a short distance, then stopped, and then, moving his huge boar nose, took a few steps forward, sniffed carefully in front of the food, and looked at the people in the high place, and then unceremoniously ate the pastry.

After all, when Li An came a few times before, he had also fed wild boars from a high position, so wild boars trusted this feeding method and did not feel that the food was poisonous, and wild boars did not have this concept, even if it was poisonous, it was not something that wild boars could detect.

"Eat, really eat, haha!"

"What are you happy about, the delicious pastries of my Tang Dynasty court were actually eaten by wild boars, and I don't know if this wild boar can taste it, if it is a cow chewing peonies, it will be a waste."

"Haha! I still have pastries, a few more. ”

The mood of several emperors and grandchildren suddenly became happy, and the feeling of feeding the animals was quite good.

"Li Shilang, these wild boars are much more docile than just now, and they are all vying for pastries? It's so cute. ”

"This king can see it, and these wild boars are to blame us for not eating just now, so they hit the pillar angrily, and now there is food, and the whole pig has become cute."

"Li Shilang, the craftsman here, don't you often feed wild boars like this!"

The emperors and grandsons said with a mouthful of words.

Li An said calmly: "If the wild boar wants to maintain high quality, how can it feed food every day, they mainly eat all kinds of animals and plants in the valley, and the feeding is only occasional, and it is also fed by the servants in my house, so the craftsman will not have the leisure time to take care of this?" ”
