758 Chickens That Eat Herbs
“Hello?” the person on the other end said nonchalantly.
Qiao Mei cleared her throat and replied with a happy voice, “He Ning? I have great news for you! It depends on whether you want it or not!”
He Ning looked at the phone in his hand and then at the time on the clock. It did not make sense that Qiao Mei would call him and say that she had good news.
How could he be first in line for her good news? Should she not be looking for the Xia family members first?
!!Women were really strange.
“Where are you calling from? Tell me why you’re looking for me,” He Ning said.
“I had a phone installed. I want to ask you, do you want to buy chickens?” Qiao Mei asked very sincerely.
He Ning felt humiliated. Chickens were sold everywhere and he even had to drink chicken soup every day. The housekeeper at home would go to the market every day to buy the best chickens.
“Are chickens very rare? There are chickens everywhere in the capital. Why should I buy one from you?” He Ning asked.
“Of course it’s because this chicken of mine is different from ordinary chickens. This chicken of mine grew up eating herbs. You can specify what type of herbs this chicken eats. Over time, it will accumulate in the chicken’s body. This is much better than eating herbs directly,” Qiao Mei said.
He had never heard of such a thing before. What Qiao Mei said piqued his interest. He decided to ask Huo Gao about this.
“Wait. I have to ask about this,” He Ning said.
Qiao Mei gave He Ning her direct phone number and then hung up. He Ning could come back and talk to her about it after he had considered it. The long-distance phone bill was very expensive. Even if her family had money, they could not squander it like this.
One should know when to save and when to spend, depending on the circumstances.
She did not feel any heartache about buying furniture that cost tens of thousands of dollars, but she found it wasteful to spend the extra few dollars on the phone bill.
“Grandfather! What you say makes so much sense! I’ll go catch a few chickens to study them!” Qiao Mei ran out of the house happily.
Coincidentally, the Dendrobium they picked up did not have much of a market yet. She could use this herb to feed the chickens!
As soon as Qiao Mei reached the backyard, she vaguely saw a figure flash past outside the fence at an extremely fast speed and disappear into the forest.
Qiao Mei rubbed her eyes vigorously and looked around for a while.
“What’s going on… Did I see wrongly?” Qiao Mei muttered to herself.
Perhaps it was because she had used a lot of energy to extract the ginseng juice during this period of time. It seemed that she must do things step by step and not be in such a hurry.
She lured three chickens to a corner and erected another wooden pen to feed them separately. It would probably take effect in a month. If she succeeded, she could raise more chickens in the courtyard house in the capital and sell them all to He Ning and make him go bankrupt!
She was not intentionally harming anyone. All she was doing was to give He Ning something related to medicinal herbs for him to nourish himself with. When all He Ning’s money were in her hands, the Xia family would gradually grow stronger. By then, He Ning would no longer have the capability to fight with the Xia family.
What she was doing could be considered a roundabout way of saving the country.
He Ning was feeling completely confused on his end. He did not understand why Qiao Mei was doing this at all, but the one thing he forgot to ask Qiao Mei was how much such a chicken would cost. If he allowed the young lady to quote a price on the spot, he would definitely suffer a huge loss.
“Huo Gao, Qiao Mei just called me and said that she wants to sell chickens to me. Something about chickens that grow up eating medicinal herbs? Do you think that’s something reliable?” He Ning said with a dumbfounded expression.
Huo Gao had previously read about such a method. It was feasible and indeed valuable.
“It’s indeed beneficial, but won’t work fast. It will slowly take effect over time. This is no different from the medicinal cuisine you eat every day. It’s just that it’s more nutritious,” Huo Gao said.
“Just tell me how many more years I can live,” He Ning asked bluntly.
In the past, every doctor had told him that medicinal cuisine was useful although the effect was slow. He also wanted to accumulate the effects over time, but his body could not afford to wait any longer.
“I haven’t tried it before, but it shouldn’t be a problem to lengthen your lifespan by three to four years. Besides, you’ll feel much better after eating it and it’ll help with your discomfort,” Huo Gao said.
A period of three to four years was long enough. As long as it was a fair price, he could afford it.
Recently, he had managed to rescue He Wei and He Li, and the family business was slowly improving. They had also put an end to all the shady businesses from before.
