Chapter 734 730. The chicken tastes so good
It is normal for free-range chickens to fly into trees.
But it is not very common to see it flying so high, lying on a tree branch three or four meters high.
"It's hot, fly high and stay in the shade." Old Man Cheng said casually.
He is not unusual at all.
Others are weird.
Luo Shaoan asked, "How did they get up there?"
"It flew up there." Old Man Cheng said with a smile.
"Can it fly that high?" Luo Shaoan asked, pointing to a big, shiny black rooster on the top of the highest tree.
The chicken was standing about seven or eight meters above the ground.
"They are a family, with the rooster standing on top to protect the hens below." Old Man Cheng looked at the big rooster with joy and complacency, and by the way, he explained why it could fly so high, "jumping up layer by layer."
Well, it's that simple.
As soon as he finished speaking, the big rooster slapped him in the face.
I saw it suddenly jump forward and fall from the treetop.
Luo Shaoan and the others were all shocked, thinking that the chicken had committed suicide out of depression.
As a result, it flapped its wings and glided all the way to the ground smoothly.
After landing, it stretched its head and ran back to the original tree, running so fast.
Luo Shaoan asked himself, I can't outrun it.
After returning to the tree, the big rooster scratched in the grass nest.
He dug out a bunch of fruits, pecked at them vigorously, pecked the fruits open, and ate the flesh inside.
While the big rooster was busy, the hens on the tree also flew down, surrounded the rooster, pecking at him and snatching the fruits.
After eating for a long time, the chickens dispersed again.
Including the big rooster, some of the birds no longer climbed up the trees, but were still digging in the grass nests, picking at the grass seeds on the ground and eating the insects in the soil.
It seems they are hungry.
The others spread their wings, used their thighs to jump diagonally upwards, jumped up high, flapped their wings in the air, and flew up to the branches.
Then he went up one level at a time, like climbing stairs, jumping left and right, and with the help of his wings, he went up with a loud bang.
"Wow~~" Liang Yue in front of the TV exclaimed again. She had never seen such a lively chicken before, and her mouth was watering. "This chicken thigh must be delicious."
Xiang Boming nodded repeatedly, "The wings are also strong, and the meat must be firm."
Not only them, but all the audience who saw this scene had the same idea.
Real free-range chicken, looks so delicious.
And in the show.
Luo Shaoan also gave great praise, "Uncle, your chicken can really fly."
Then he ran over and picked up the fruit shells left by the chicken.
He spread out his hands to show everyone, "It's chestnuts."
In his hand was a pile of pecked chestnut shells. They were not yet fully ripe and were covered with a layer of soft, thorny shells that had been cracked open by the chickens.
"So..." Luo Shaoan looked up at the sky, too embarrassed to speak.
The camera lens zoomed out to the top of a tall tree and found a few chestnut bags growing sporadically on it.
The chicken that just flew up is still flapping its wings over there.
Therefore, those chickens did not climb up the tree to enjoy the shade, and the rooster did not climb up the tree to protect the hens.
They climbed the tree to look for chestnuts to eat.
The rooster pecked a bag of chestnuts from a tree, but failed to catch it, so he flew down in anger to pick it up.
Quite angry.
Old Man Cheng had a slight fever on his face, but luckily his skin was dark so it couldn't be seen.
Master Lin is a good man, so he tried to smooth things over and asked curiously, "So this is a chestnut tree. Is this what your chickens eat?"
There are very few chestnut trees in Guangdong. He had only seen chestnuts but not the trees.
Old Man Cheng stretched out his hand and said, "There are quite a few chestnuts on this mountain. They are wild and can't produce many. They won't be ripe until the chickens eat them all. Just use them as a snack."
"Then what else to eat?"
"There are a lot of them. Grass seeds, bugs, and some other miscellaneous things. Let's go ahead and take a look."
Old Man Cheng led the way and led everyone forward into the forest. This was a wild forest with a mixture of tree species, including coniferous and broad-leaved trees.
There are a lot of bushes under the trees, grass under the bushes, and vines wrapped around the trees.
Full of vitality.
Walk a little further forward.
I saw a few chickens fluttering and pecking around a bush.
Small fruit growing on shrubs.
It was Luo Shaoan again. He ran over and snatched two chickens from the mouths of the chickens. His hands and arms were pecked several times.
This chicken is really vicious.
The small fruit that Luo Shaoan snatched was green and round, not even as big as the tip of a finger.
There are some soft thorns on the front end.
what is this?
Luo Shaoan pinched it and found it was hard inside.
Use your fingernail to scratch and peel out a hard-shell nut.
"It's hazelnuts. Such small hazelnuts."
The skin is not completely hard yet, and it opens with a strong pinch, revealing the juicy little kernels inside.
"They have just grown out and are still tender. The hazelnuts on this mountain won't ripen until September or October. They will be gone before then." Old Man Cheng explained cheerfully.
As for why I can’t wait?
Just like chestnuts, they are eaten by chickens before they can grow up.
Walk a little further.
We came across another tall chestnut tree with a few chickens lying on it.
There was a clump of vines growing under the tree, with many roots tangled together.
Clusters of small green fruits hang on the vines.
There was a large group of chickens, at least a dozen of them.
Luo Shaoan was delighted when he saw it, and pointed at the vine and said with a smile: "I know this wild grape, it's sour. The green one is not ripe yet."
Don't ask, by the time they are cooked, the short ones have all been eaten up, leaving only a few bunches on the top, which are also eaten by chickens.
After hearing this, Old Man Cheng laughed and waved his hands, "Those aren't just wild grapes, there are others, do you recognize them?"
"Anything else?" Luo Shaoan scratched his head.
Old Man Cheng pointed to it and said, "The thin one with green stems. Turn over the leaves and take a look."
Well, I still have to go into the chicken flock.
Luo Shaoan had no choice but to cover his head with his hands and rush into the chicken flock.
My goodness, these chickens are so fierce, they jumped up and pecked him.
Luo Shaoan dodged left and right, ran closer, found a thin green vine, stood on tiptoe to turn over the leaves, and plucked off a bunch of red fruits.
As soon as I got it in my hands, two chickens fluttered up and snatched most of it away with their mouths.
Only a small handful was left for Luo Shaoan, who hurried back to protect it.
When I opened my hands, I saw small red fruits about the size of beans.
It feels soft and juicy when squeezed.
It’s not easy, but finally one of them can grow to adulthood.
The color is bright red and looks very tempting.
Old Man Cheng saw what Luo Shaoan was thinking, picked up one and said, "Try it, it's not poisonous."
Well, it’s not poisonous, but I didn’t say it tastes good.
Luo Shaoan picked up one and put it in his mouth. He took a light bite and the mask of pain appeared immediately.
"Yue~~bitter."
Pretend to vomit.
Master Li suddenly said, "Don't spit, there's something delicious behind it."
The old man spoke, Luo Shaoan had to listen, chewing a few more times, tears were about to come out, aggrieved, "sour~"
"It's okay, it's okay, continue." Master Lin also spoke.
"Hey, it's a little sweet... No, it's spicy, spicy... salty, spicy, salty, spicy."
After trying hard for a long time to swallow it, Luo Shaoan felt wronged, "What is this~~"
