egg incubator

In the weeds as tall as a person, a slightly thin man held a stick tightly in both hands, struggling to push aside the thick weeds. He was wearing animal skin shorts made of wild hemp twine and animal skins and an He was wearing a short-sleeved top and was looking for a kind of berry hidden in the weeds.

This light yellow berry is almost the same color as weeds. It is very difficult to find them, but the man is still looking for it, because here, in this season, this berry is a hard currency that is more precious than animal meat. He is weak, and no one in the tribe is willing to take him hunting. If he wants to get food, he can only look for this kind of berry and exchange it with other pheasant essences.

It has been almost half a month since Baixiong came to this terrifying world. From the initial shock and fear, to having to adapt and struggle in order to survive, until now, he has been able to calmly accept that he has become a pheasant. Essence of chicken, but the cruel fact that it is still a skinny little rooster.

Please allow me to be sad.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing unacceptable. After all, in his previous life, his life was not very good, or it can be said that it is simply a capitalized miserable word!Both of his parents died when he was young, and his grandfather brought him up. Later, his grandfather was no longer there. The village helped him get a subsidy and barely went to a normal school.

In this way, Bai Xiong became a glorious male kindergarten teacher. No one knew what happened. The night before, he was still staying up late in the simple rented house to write lesson plans. When he opened his eyes, he was lying on the bed with sore body. In the heap of withered grass, the ear-piercing crowing of chickens continued to be heard.

Later he found out that the season when he came to this world, unfortunately, came across the most classic sentence in Mr. Zhao Zhongxiang's commentary: spring is here, all things are revived, and the prairie is the season for animals to mate again... …and he is the little rooster who just came of age and ushered in the first breeding season of chickens.

I don't know if it's luck or misfortune. This poor little rooster is probably attracted by several female pheasants in the tribe because of its good looks. Who wouldn't want a little fresh meat?What's more, it's a fresh meat cock that just crows!Several female pheasants started fighting after arguing and fighting... and forgot about him.

The poor little rooster was probably accidentally injured or frightened to death. Anyway, when he woke up, he saw a few female pheasants, carefully and flatteringly grabbing a lot of fleshy big ones. Bugs piled up around him.

You Jiang Zi can't sleep with Xiao Xianrou! ! !

Bai Xiong got up helplessly, and pushed back those terrifying-looking bugs. Bugs and the like were really not within the range of optional ingredients for his recipes.

From that day on, Baixiong began to forage for food.

It's not that this strange tribe lacks food, in fact, because the hens in the tribe are so fierce and aggressive, they can't finish their food every day.

But look at what those foods are——

Big fat earthworms, big grasshoppers with their heads pecked off, all kinds of berries, and he even found a grass snake that was broken into several pieces and died miserably... In short, after watching those hen pheasants provide After obtaining the ingredients, Bai Xiong desperately decided to rely on herself.

It's not so easy on your own.

These pheasant essences probably considered the source of food when they settled here. The place where this tribe is located is a large grassland, surrounded by wild grass, which is especially suitable for the breeding and growth of various insects!

To the east of the tribe is a small miscellaneous forest, in which many small shrubs grow. This kind of shrub is like a blueberry, and it will grow many light yellow berries, which the pheasants especially like to eat.To the west of the tribe is a swamp with soft and fertile soil, which is naturally an excellent breeding ground for earthworms, another favorite food of pheasants.To the south of the tribe was an endless grassland, he didn't dare to go too far there yet, and to the north was an endless mountain range. It was said that there lived a group of nine-tailed celestial foxes with the noble blood of the ancient great demon!

Holy crap, it sounds dangerous. His skin is fragile and his blood is thin. It's better not to go to the Nine-Tailed Fox's territory to die.

Moreover, it wasn't him with a crow's mouth. It is said that foxes like to eat chicken. This group of pheasants are also big-hearted, and dare to be neighbors with a group of nine-tailed foxes who love to eat chicken...

Because the area that can be explored is too small, the food that Baixiong can find every day is very limited. Sometimes it is a handful of grass seeds, sometimes it is two bunches of grasshoppers. If he is lucky and finds a nest of bird eggs, he will cry happily !

Now is not the time to care for small animals. Every bird egg he picked up is the best protein supplement ingredient. Without any seasoning, Bai Xiong picked up a few stones of suitable size and piled up a simple one. Earthen stove, and no pot, so I took a thin stone slab and put it on top. When I picked up bird eggs, I fried them and ate them. If I caught grasshoppers, I skewered them and roasted them. It looked scary, but the taste was good. The unpalatable ones were the grass seeds. Even though he had crushed them with a simple stone mortar, mixed them with water like dough, and roasted them on a stone board, it was still difficult to swallow.

However, one of the reasons why he insists on eating this kind of grass seed is because this kind of grass seed is currently the most easily available ingredient. As long as you have enough patience, you can get a handful of it in an hour; the other is that this kind of grass seed The baked pancakes made are very easy to eat, a piece the size of a palm, after eating and drinking some water, it is enough for him to last for a long time without feeling hungry.

The pheasants of the Baishang tribe recently looked at Baixiong, a reed rooster, as if they were looking at a crazy chicken.They don't understand why the good grasshoppers are roasted and eaten, and the grass seeds are mashed like that and then roasted laboriously, what is the difference from eating them directly in the stomach?

It was probably when everyone was fighting in groups that day, did this chicken go crazy?

The hens who participated in the group fights were somewhat guilty. Every time they went out to look for food, they would take the initiative to bring back some food for Bai Xiong, the stupid chicken. During the fight that day, they didn't expect to scare the little rooster into a fool. Yes.

Fortunately, this season is when the hens of the Baishang tribe lay eggs, incubate eggs, and give birth to the next generation. Apart from thinking that this chicken has become a little strange, they don't have much mind to meddle in the other pheasant's business.

In Qingqiu, there are many other tribes like the Baishang tribe. Everyone has set up a territory for each of them. They hear each other, and never communicate with each other. The biggest thing for Yaosheng is to give birth to cubs.It's a pity that although they have worked hard to give birth, there are still very few cubs that can survive to adulthood.

This year, the pheasants of the Baishang tribe still worked hard to lay and hatch eggs as always.

Among the tense egg hatching team, Baixiong, the only one who has nothing to do and thinks about how to eat better every day, seems a little different.Especially for those roosters who have eggs to hatch, the look in the eyes of this little reed rooster can be called pity.

Some chickens, even though they are living a happy life on the surface, they don’t even hatch a single egg behind their backs!

"Baixiong, what are you doing again? It smells really good." A rooster that was hatching an egg looked anxiously at the smoking earthen stove.

"I'm using the fat of this sambar to boil the oil, and then save it. Next time I make pancakes, I will brush them on the slate. The pancakes will be very fragrant when they are stained with fat." Bai Xiong found a sunken stone like a stone pot. Boil the oil, being very careful not to fry the fat.

This sambar is a prey that was just hunted by the tribe today. The outer skin and meat were taken away by other pheasants, leaving only a skeleton and some internal organs. Pull out the fat attached to the surface of the internal organs, and prepare to boil some oil. When there is really no meat dish, adding some fat can be regarded as half a meat dish.

In his previous life, when he first worked, he had no money, and he was reluctant to buy good meat. Every time he took advantage of the time when the market was about to leave, he would buy some discounted fat meat, boil it out of lard, and put a little when cooking noodles or stir-frying. He used to rely on Stewing cabbage with lard dregs has survived the whole winter, and I feel sick after eating cabbage, but now, when I look up, I can't find even a cabbage leaf.

Put the boiled meat oil and the oil residue in the crude stone pot. There is no other container, so it can only be left like this.Smelling the strange aroma of boiled meat oil in the air, the greedy worms in Baixiong's stomach were completely hooked out.

This time he saved about three catties of that grass seed, took out half a catty and soaked it in water for a long time. Like barley rice, cook a pot of grass seed rice, take a prepared sunken stone, put it on the earthen stove, first brush a layer of meat oil on the inner layer, put the soaked grass seeds in, add With a little water, I found a slightly larger stone slab to cover it, and boiled it slowly. Gradually, I could smell the fragrance of grain. I didn't eat a grain of rice for almost half a month, and Bai Xiong couldn't hold it anymore.

Carefully lifting the stone slab, he took out the three bird eggs he found in the grass today.This bird's egg was different from the ones he picked up before, it was light yellow in color, with many black spots on the outside, and it was larger than ordinary eggs. Baixiong planned to crack all three eggs into the pot, To make claypot rice with eggs, he found some gray vegetables in the grass just now. This kind of vegetables naturally have a slight salty taste. He picked some young leaves and prepared to wash them and sprinkle them on the steamed rice. The rice adds a little saltiness.

He has observed that those pheasant spirits also eat this kind of gray vegetable, so it should not be poisonous.

however--

"Wait! Put that egg down!" cried a male pheasant in shock.

Bai Xiong was startled, and almost threw the egg out of his hand.

"This is a pheasant's egg! How can you eat our eggs?!" A few female pheasants who were in charge of guarding nearby ran over when they heard the sound. It's about to explode.

"But... aren't your eggs gray and white spotted?" Bai Xiong retorted weakly.

"This is not an egg from our tribe, it should be an egg from the Xuanshang tribe next door!"

"That's not surprising. The chickens of the Xuanshang tribe are like this. After giving birth to a nest of eggs, only the strongest eggs will be left, and the rest will be discarded. This egg looks a bit small. It must be from the Xuanshang tribe. The chickens throw away the unwanted eggs!"

"These are three orphan eggs~"

"It's not considered orphans. They were picked out and thrown away not long after they were born. Unhatched eggs will not give birth to chicks. It should be three dead eggs."

Several noisy female pheasants chattered around the three eggs for a while, and finally decided unanimously: this egg is still not edible, because it is of the same kind, but it seems that it can't hatch chicks, so it's better to throw it away!

The female pheasants stared at Baixiong waiting for the eggs to be laid.

Bai Xiong: "..."
