Wan Ting led everyone along the way, through the tangerine forest, directly over a small slope, and finally arrived at a breeding base surrounded by woolen netting.

Lu Weiwei smelled the smell of feces all the way away, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose and reminded: "It should be right here."

"Yes, look at the street sign here." Wan Ting pointed to a faded street sign on the side of the road.

Everyone stopped and couldn't help but step forward to check the situation.

The road signs are composed of pictures of peacocks. Due to wind and rain, the pictures have long been severely faded, but the words "Afa Peacock Nursery Base" can still be seen clearly.

When she saw the big words "Nursing Base", Bai Xiaolan's eyes were startled and she asked weakly: "Is this a nursery base? Does that mean there are many peacocks raised here?"

"There are quite a few. The boss mainly breeds seedlings. When the peacocks are raised to a certain size, they are sold to other people to make profits." Wan Ting explained.

Wu Jun, who was holding a camera, was a little puzzled and asked: "Is it profitable to raise peacocks these days?"

"Haha." Wan Ting laughed dryly and said, "You have to ask the boss about this. I don't raise peacocks either."

"Is it illegal for private individuals to raise peacocks? I really want to raise one, but I wonder if my yard will be too small." Yuan Shasha thought as she walked.

The world is full of wonders, and this is the first time I have encountered a private peacock.

Lu Weiwei on the side smiled and said: "Xiao Yuan, is your yard big enough? Just raise peacocks?"

"Well, my family has a house in the suburbs. It shouldn't be a problem to raise a peacock in the yard there, right?" Yuan Shasha said.

Officer Wang coughed and said with a faint smile: "A house in the suburbs? It should be a rural house, right? But the yard shouldn't be big. It's barely enough to raise chickens and ducks, but peacocks... I think it's better to forget it.

, after all, the space is too small.”

"Uh, okay, I'll just say it casually." Yuan Shasha hesitated, feeling that she didn't know how to explain, so she just stopped talking.

Glancing at Gu Chen beside her, Yuan Shasha asked again: "Senior Brother Gu, is it really allowed for private individuals to raise peacocks? Isn't it illegal?"

"This..." Gu Chen crossed his arms and said after hesitating for a moment: "Peacocks are actually listed animals and are protected animals, but they can be bred and domesticated with a license."

"But I remember that peacocks seem to be protected animals, right? Should it be illegal to hunt peacocks?" said Bai Xiaolan on the side.

"How do you say this?" Gu Chen thought briefly and then said: "It is true to protect animals, and our laws prohibit the hunting and killing of nationally protected wild animals."

"However, if you need to capture or harvest national first-level protected wild animals due to scientific research, domestication and breeding, exhibitions or other special circumstances, you must also apply for a special hunting license from the wildlife administrative department."

"Those who hunt national second-level protected wild animals must apply for a special hunting license from the wildlife administrative department of the provincial, autonomous region, or municipal government directly under the Central Government."

"But the peacocks we are talking about here can also be divided into several types. Peacocks can be divided into green peacocks and blue peacocks."

"The green peacock is a national first-level protected animal and is prohibited from being raised by individuals. However, the blue peacock is imported from abroad. It is a rare semi-herbivorous non-protected animal and can be raised."

"Moreover, blue peacocks are edible, ornamental, and health-care animals. Their meat is high in protein, low in fat, and contains a variety of amino acids and trace elements as a health food. It is of great development value."

Looking at the breeding base in front of him, Gu Chen smiled calmly and said: "If I guess correctly, the peacock species raised in this breeding base should be blue peacocks, because blue peacocks can be raised individually and at home."

"So that's it?" Lu Weiwei thought thoughtfully and muttered: "The meat is high in protein and low in fat, so it must be delicious."

Looking up at Wanting, Lu Weiwei asked again: "Wan Ting, does the peacock lay eggs?"

"Lay... lay, do peacocks lay eggs?" Wan Ting said.

"Then there must be someone selling peacock eggs here, right? How much can they cost?" Lu Weiwei suddenly became curious.

Wan Ting was stunned for a moment, then she said with a smile: "Peacock eggs cost about 40 yuan each, which is quite expensive, but they look very big."

"Is that delicious?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

Wan Ting hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly: "People who have eaten it said that it seems to taste average, but because it is a peacock egg, it seems that the nutrition should be good."

"Lu Weiwei." Officer Wang glanced at her and said with some disgust: "Why do you insist on eating? The peacock is so cute, you are willing to eat it?"

"Uh, yes, why do I want to eat it so much?" Lu Weiwei patted her mouth and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Bah, bah, bah, human beings are indeed too evil, hahaha."

A few people were chatting and laughing and went directly to the breeding base.

The captive base is located in a low-lying area, with a long steel column standing in the middle, supporting the top of the entire nylon net.

The woolen netting at the corners was tied to the surrounding trees with ropes, forming a huge space composed of nylon netting.

Inside the space, there is a row of simple brick buildings.

When Wan Ting opened the iron door and led everyone into the breeding base, she called a few words to the building.

Not long after, a man wearing blue overalls with the words "Celebrity BB Fat" on it opened the door and walked out of the room.

"Afa, these are the guests who are helping us with the live broadcast in Hehua Township. Let's bring them to your place today to see if you can help in any way?" Wan Ting said.

The man named Afa is about 50 years old, his eyes are dull, and he looks like he doesn't want to interact with others.

He glanced at the people in front of him and said coldly: "Bringing goods through live broadcast? Can they help me sell peacocks through live broadcast?"

"Well...as long as the buyer's documents are complete, it is theoretically possible." Wan Ting said.

Afa smiled lightly, waved his hand and said: "The peacocks I have here are not worried about the lack of sales. The newly cultivated peacock seedlings have already been booked by customers. You should help those who sell agricultural products. Those people can

It’s really up to God to make a living.”

Boss Afa squinted his eyes, waved his hands and said with a smile: "Business is just like that. Anyway, you don't have to worry about food and drink."

"Afa, I'm here today with guests from Lotus Township, including people from the TV station. Why don't you invite everyone to come in and have a cup of tea or something?"

Wan Ting saw everyone standing at the door for a long time, but Ah Fa, who raised the peacock, was indifferent, so she couldn't help but remind him.

Only then did Afa react and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I don't have a good tea reception at home, and everything here is stinky. I'm afraid you won't get used to it. If you don't mind, come in and sit down, have a glass of water or something."

"Then thank you, Boss Afa." Makino said.

Under the leadership of Ah Fa, everyone came to the townhouse.

The townhouses here are not large in space and are similar to the old bungalows in many state-owned enterprise family areas.

Although the space is small, it is well-equipped. The kitchen is on the far right, the feed warehouse is in the middle, and the breeding room is on the far left for raising seedlings of peacocks.

Opposite the row of bungalows is a simple greenhouse used to shelter the peacocks from wind and rain.

Afa lives alone in a single-family hut at the entrance of the breeding base.

Ah Fa took everyone to the kitchen first, used a plastic spoon to scoop a spoonful of water into the large water tank, and poured it into several small bowls. Then he stretched out his hand and said: "In this small place, there are no water cups prepared. Everyone will

Just drink some water."

Seeing Bai Xiaolan's hesitation, Afa smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, this is mountain spring water, sweet and delicious, and very hygienic."

"Yes...really?" Bai Xiaolan hesitated for a moment. Although she resisted on the surface, she still chose to pick up the small bowl and take a few sips.

Bai Xiaolan soon began to enjoy what is called the law of true fragrance.

The refreshing and sweet spring water seemed to moisturize her internal organs. Bai Xiaolan immediately wiped her mouth and handed the bowl to Ah Fa: "Boss Ah Fa, can you give me another bowl? This mountain spring water is really delicious."

"Haha, of course. The spoon is right here. You can scoop as much as you want." Seeing that Bai Xiaolan liked the mountain spring water here, Boss Afa smiled with satisfaction.

Soon, everyone gathered around the water tank, talking about the sweetness of the mountain spring, and drinking the spring water from the bowl.

It perfectly explains what it means to drink water without paying for it.

Lu Weiwei wiped the water stains from the corner of her mouth, then burped and said: "If this kind of water is sold in the supermarket, a bottle of it will cost at least two or three yuan."

"Yeah, I feel like I've really made a profit." Officer Wang drank the spring water from the bowl and muttered to himself: "Three yuan, three yuan, three yuan..."

Seeing that everyone was almost drinking up the spring water, Boss Afa said again: "I will take you to see the nursery."

"Okay, boss Afa is here." Gu Chen said with a smile.

Afa took everyone to the middle of the bungalow, pointed to the various packages of feed in the warehouse and said: "These feeds are difficult to get. I have peacocks raised in the mountains. They eat very good feeds and lay eggs."

It’s also big, and here is the nursery.”

At the same time as the introduction, Afa had already led everyone to the far left side of the bungalow.

Pushing open the door, the rows of nursery incubators are filled with peacock eggs of various sizes.

Lu Weiwei seemed to see delicious dishes one after another, and couldn't help but stepped forward and exclaimed: "Oh my god, so peacock eggs are so big?"

"Haha, yes, what else? Do you think they are local eggs?" Afa was also defeated by Lu Weiwei's innocence.

After looking around for a week, Gu Chen asked: "By the way, Boss Afa, there are eggs here, but are there any peacock seedlings?"

"Yes, a batch was sent away a while ago, but now there are no more seedlings here. In a few days, these seedlings will also break out of their shells," Afa said.

Wan Ting smiled and said: "It's not a coincidence that I'm here today. I've been here a few times before, and I've only seen peacock seedlings once. They feel like little birds."

"Boss Afa has made a lot of money selling peacocks over the years, right? I see there is a BMW X5 at the intersection. That should be yours, right?" Makino said jokingly, leaning against the corner and looking at the peacock eggs in the insulator.

.

Ah Fa was stunned, then said with a slight smile: "It's not bad, it's also the way I learned from the previous master."

"Then you are so successful, why do you still stay here alone? Why don't you hire a few more helpers or something?" Makino asked again.

"Hi! There are a few helpers, but they are busy at home these days, and they won't be able to come back for about a week."

"So there's nothing you can do. You have to do some things yourself, right? Find some outsiders to help temporarily. To be honest, I'm afraid it's unreliable. If you spoil peacocks like me, it won't be worth the gain."

"That's how Boss Afa got his start. He regards peacocks as very valuable." Wan Ting also explained at the side.

"So that's it?" Makino nodded silently, turned around and walked out of the nursery, casually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, stood at the door and smoked a cigarette.
