Chapter 236 You two should be good people
"The red-bellied tragopan is a national second-class protected animal." Li Mu zoomed in the camera of his mobile phone to take a close-up.
[Level 2, I was thinking of raising two, this looks too weird.]
[Are unprotected animals not worthy of living in protected areas? (covering face and laughing)]
[Not really. Wild boars are now protected species, but do you dare to provoke them? (Laughing with sidelong eyes)]
[I seem to have seen chickens similar to this in the market, with particularly colorful feathers, and the seller said they were legal.]
"It is strictly forbidden for individuals to keep animals under the second-level national protection unless you have a certificate issued by the relevant department."
Li Mu reminded netizens, "As for the colorfully feathered chickens you see in the market, they should be golden pheasants. This kind of bird can be raised privately, provided that it is purchased from a legal breeding farm with complete licenses and has been artificially bred for more than three generations. Wild golden pheasants are also a national second-class protected animal and are not allowed to be raised by individuals."
[I see. That’s why I said that sellers shouldn’t be so bold as to openly sell wild protected animals (covering face and laughing)]
"wow, wow"
The vigilant red-bellied tragopan noticed that the strange two-legged animals and cats in front of it were not approaching it, and slowly relaxed.
The flesh skirt under her chin gradually shrank, and soon returned to its normal state. She tilted her head to look at Li Mu.
This two-legged creature gives it a special feeling.
"We are just passing by and won't hurt you." Li Mu whispered to the red-bellied tragopan.
"Wow"
The Red-bellied Tragopan shook its head, turned around and walked deeper into the grass. Soon it was hidden by the grass and could no longer be seen.
"It's just one. Don't chickens live in groups?" Brother Nan turned his head to look at the grass, but didn't find any other red-bellied pheasants.
"The red-bellied tragopan is not a chicken, but a bird. They are too timid and usually move around alone. They only move around in pairs when they find a mate. But they will gather together in winter and look for food in groups."
"Oh, so you're a single guy." Brother Nan commented.
"Ni Mu, is this bird delicious?" The kitten stretched out a little paw and hooked Li Mu's trouser leg.
After knowing it was a bird, the kitten was no longer afraid. Instead, it became interested and wanted to taste it.
She had never eaten such a strange bird.
"Can you please make a big plate of chicken for Lord Yogurt when you get home tonight? We won't have to eat this." Li Mu bent down and picked up the kitten to coax it.
“What is Da Pan Ji?”
"It's a specialty food from Qingjiang, made from eggs."
“Are the chickens we raised ready to eat?”
"Not yet, but there are several chickens in the refrigerator."
"Well! Let's eat this tonight."
"Ok."
Li Mu smiled slightly and successfully diverted the kitten's attention.
"Hey? Look at what flowers these are? They are hanging upside down like ancient bells and have withered." Brother Nan called Li Mu while holding a flower stem in his hand.
She was very curious. When Li Mu was talking to the kitten, she walked around the bushes where the red-bellied pheasant had been and found a strange flower.
"Let me see."
Li Mu walked to Brother Nan, put the kitten down, took the withered flower and looked at it, "You are really blessed by luck."
"Of course! Brother Ben Nan is a man of luck."
Brother Nan raised his handsome chin and said, "Why, do you know this?"
"I know, it's a good thing." Li Mu said with a smile.
"nice one?"
Brother Nan stared at the flowers with curiosity, "What good stuff?"
"Fritillaria."
"Fritillaria? Is it the Fritillaria in Chuanbei Loquat Paste?"
"Yes."
Li Mu looked at the flower stem in his hand. "Fritillaria has a long history of use in Longguo. The earliest record was in the Shennong Herbal Classic in the Han Dynasty. It can clear away heat and moisten the lungs, resolve phlegm and relieve cough."
"This is Fritillaria. I used to love drinking Fritillaria loquat paste when I had a cough." Brother Nan looked at a patch of flowers near the grass.
"These flowers are not like that. The ones that can be used as medicine are buried underground."
Li Mu threw away the flower stem and squatted down to dig the soil with his hands. "Its root bulb is used as medicine."
"Oh, it's similar to Gastrodia elata." Brother Nan took out a dagger and squatted down to dig.
The kitten has even dug a small hole in the earth.
"Is this the thing?" Brother Nan dug out a white, irregularly round bulb. "Yes, this is the Fritillaria."
“Can I eat it directly?”
"can."
"Is it tasty?"
"It's delicious." Li Mu thought for a moment and added, "You'll know if you try it."
"Then you eat first!" Brother Nan was a little unconvinced and handed the Fritillaria to Li Mu's mouth.
"emm"
Li Mu hesitated for a moment, "I haven't washed it yet, I'll wait until I get home."
"I'll wash it for you now."
Brother Nan took out the kettle, rinsed it with water, and handed it to Li Mu again, "Eat it."
"."
Looking at the Fritillaria in front of him, Li Mu felt like he was shooting himself in the foot again.
It’s not that you can’t eat it.
Fresh raw Fritillaria is edible, but don’t expect it to taste very good.
"Why don't you eat it?" Brother Nan handed the Fritillaria forward again, "You said you can eat it, eat it now!"
"or."
"If you don't eat it, I'll beat you to death!"
"." Li Mu took it silently and put it into his mouth.
Brother Nan and Xiaomao both stared at him closely, observing his expression.
"Not bad, very delicious." Li Mu chewed carefully, "Very sweet and crispy. Wash another one for me."
"Your beautiful thoughts will be washed away by yourself."
Brother Nan was relieved now. He picked up the kettle and washed another one. He put it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and suddenly froze. He slowly turned his head and stared at Li Mu.
Brother Nan: (⊙_⊙)?
Li Mu: (ω)
The cat tilted its head back and forth, looking at the two people's faces, "Nimu, why aren't you and Brother Lan talking? Delicious meow?"
Brother Nan glanced down at the kitten, then reached out and held Li Mu's arm: "Do you want to try some yogurt, too?"
"Correct."
"Tell her it's delicious!" Brother Nan's finger joints turned white from the force he exerted.
"." Li Mu felt the pressure on his hands and had no choice but to say to the kitten, "It's delicious."
"Then wash one for Mr. Yogurt to try." The cat saw that both of them ate it and didn't suspect anything.
"Don't cats eat fruit?" Li Mu hinted wildly.
"Just a taste~" The cat didn't notice.
"Here." Brother Nan had quickly washed one and handed it to the kitten's mouth.
The cat opened its mouth and ate it.
"Chew, chew. Pfft!"
As soon as the cat bit the fritillaria, it spat out the fritillaria, shook its head vigorously, and took a few steps back.
"Tut!" Brother Nan then spat out the Fritillaria in his mouth and nodded with satisfaction.
Li Mu also silently spat out the Fritillaria in his mouth.
Raw Fritillaria tastes bitter, but with a slight aftertaste of sweetness, but this aftertaste is almost nothing compared to the bitterness.
[Host and Nan, please be good people! Yogurt is such a cute little cat, but you are also a liar! (covering your face and laughing)]
[Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Yogurt! Otherwise I will unfollow you! (Angry)]
[Mr. Yogurt, please follow me. The anchor is so mean! I will buy you some cat food.]
"Oh!"
Brother Nan punched Li Mu and said, "You are such a mean person. I have to be careful of you in the future."
Li Mu pretended not to hear and looked at the piece of Fritillaria. "Generally, the Fritillaria used as medicine is the dried bulb. Fresh ones can be used to make porridge or soak in water, which also has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs."
"Then let's pick some, dry them, and soak them in water to drink. We can also bring some to our elders at home during the National Day holiday," said Brother Nan.
"Okay." Li Mu nodded.
