HCB Chapter 187 Drunken Berry Wine
Chapter 187 Drunken Berry Wine
Hearing Hua Fei's call, Mu Yunyun, who was sunbathing with the jade fox in the courtyard, suddenly looked up.
"A Fei, what's wrong?"
"Yunyun, look! Momo Chicken!"
"I caught one, to cheer you up!"
Mu Yunyun looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Hua Fei was carrying a green cage with a dark, murky mass inside, which looked a bit scary.
Driven by curiosity, Mu Yunyun and her three children couldn't resist standing up and crowding around.
"Ink Chicken? A little black bird!"
The group couldn't help but step forward to take a look. Jade Fox also stepped forward to examine it. Naturally, he had never hunted such a small bird before.
Beast World Continent
Male orcs only care about their prey, so such a small black bird naturally didn't catch their eye.
"Yes, Haobai said it's called Momo Chicken. When I found it, it was incubating eggs."
"Mother, Mother, look, there really is an egg, it's black."
Little Rui Rui has excellent eyesight; among a clump of dark feathers, she spotted a similarly dark little bird egg.
After observing it closely, Mu Yunyun realized that it looked exactly like a hen from Earth, only black in color.
Consciousness calls to the ducks.
[Host, you're right, this black-bellied chicken is a close relative of the golden pheasant.]
However, they live at the bottom of the food chain, and to better survive, their entire bodies are black, feeding on small insects, seeds, and tender shoots.
"Can I keep it in captivity?"
"Make boiled chicken, roasted chicken, and fried chicken!"
After listening to the explanation from the duck, Mu Yunyun thought of all the delicious dishes made with domestic chicken, and her mouth watered instantly.
Fish and chicken, this is fantastic!
[Host, of course! Aside from being a little timid, the MoMo Chicken's meat is even more delicious and nutritious than domestic chickens on Earth.]
[Friendly reminder: MoMo eggs can be used to make omelets.]
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunyun could no longer contain her excitement.
"Ah Fei, are there any more? I want to raise them!"
"Yes, yes, I'll go catch it right away!"
Seeing that the little female liked it, Hua Fei was overjoyed, dropped the cage in her hand, and ran towards the forest.
"Yunyun, if you like it, I'll go catch one too!"
The jade fox also keenly noticed the little female's surprise.
Hua Fei, streaking with sparks and lightning, ran to the field outside the courtyard, grabbed Hao Bai, and told him the whole story.
The Great Snowy Owl's golden eyes flashed with surprise, then regret that it hadn't caught the little female sooner.
He dropped his hoe, transformed into a great snowy owl, and flew with Hua Fei into the dark forest.
Both of them possessed advanced fourth-tier purple talents. There were many Momo Chickens in the forest, and as long as you put your mind to catching them, you could find their tracks.
They are small in size and are usually prey for medium-sized wild animals.
The black pheasant is divided into male and female. The male has a beautiful long black tail and a black comb on its head, which makes it very pretty.
The two men caught seven or eight birds each, both female and male, because the young females needed them and they had to satisfy their demands.
When the makeshift cage they had made couldn't hold all the chickens, the two had no choice but to give up on the Momo chicken that was right next to them.
The personal space cannot hold living creatures; if you put them in, they will suffocate and die.
Passing by the roadside bushes, the meticulous flower fly revealed its sharp claws and cut down many long vines.
Hao Bai was puzzled and didn't know why so many vines had to be cut.
Soon, the two of them, each carrying a large bag, rushed home.
"Yunyun, we're back!"
"Come and see, there are so many black chickens!"
In the yard, the three chicks of the Momo chicken in the cage had been released. Mu Yunyun had specially clipped a section of its wings to prevent it from flying away.
The three little ones were overjoyed and frantically tried to catch things in the open space of the yard.
The little chick panicked and ran to hide in the vegetable patch. The little chick was so excited that the lettuce and bok choy patches suffered as a result.
Mu Yunyun couldn't bear to watch any longer. She flicked her vines from her fingers, circled the yard, and caught the Momo Chicken before the little ones could catch it.
Just then, Hua Fei and his companion returned carrying two full cages of Momo chickens.
"Ah Fei, Ah Hao is amazing, so many!"
Looking at the two large cages full, Mu Yunyun didn't tell them to let them out. The Momo chickens have wings and can fly, but they're not fast enough.
She didn't want to end up catching chickens all over the yard again, ruining the vegetables she had worked so hard to grow.
"Yunyun, I know. I'll make a super-sized Momo chicken coop right now."
The fence around the yard has been mostly removed, and the road outside the bungalow has been paved quite smoothly.
Using the existing fence and the long vines she had just cut, Hua Fei quickly made an extra-large chicken coop.
"Wow, Afei is amazing!"
As expected of a beastman living in a bamboo forest, the Great Bamboo Bear's fighting skills are no less than those of Wolf Fang.
Hao Bai watched from the side, not knowing how to help, but finally understood what the purpose of cutting the vines was.
At this height, which is over a meter, it just barely blocked the Momo chicken with its wings clipped.
Mu Yunyun tossed the black chicken, which had just been entangled in vines, into the container.
Momo Chicken entered a new environment and charged around wildly, but couldn't get out no matter what.
Perfect, just right!
Mu Yunyun then had Hua Fei make a wooden door to facilitate entry and exit, and to put food in and out.
After finishing everything, Tingyu and the others returned home from the fields on the mountainside.
They were all drawn to the chicken coop in front of them.
"Ayu, Xuan, come and see! Momo Chicken! Soon everyone will have eggs to eat!"
"And there's fried chicken, and Sichuan-style spicy chicken too!"
Everyone was shocked to hear that the little female wanted to eat these little black chickens.
Male orcs spend most of their time hunting, and these little black chickens are merely food for wild animals, not on their menu.
Tingyu, who loves gossip, couldn't help but speak up after taking a look.
"Yunyun, these little black chickens have a lot of feathers and little meat, and they can't be plucked clean, so there's hardly any meat, just bones!"
"On the Beast World continent, only old, wandering male beastmen who cannot catch prey will reluctantly eat!"
Mu Yunyun glanced at Tingyu, smiled, and said:
"Ah Yu, it's okay, trust me, fried chicken and beer are amazing!"
Speaking of this, Mu Yunyun suddenly thought of the drunken berries that the Jade Fox had picked before. She wondered if the all-powerful Muscovy duck could help her make beer or fruit wine.
Consciousness calls to the ducks.
[Host, the ducks have been tested and are perfectly capable of being used to make fruit wine. With an alcohol content of around 9%, the taste will be absolutely superb!]
Wow, Muscovy ducks are awesome!
[However, host, it may take a little while!]
"It's alright, good food is worth waiting for, and good wine is worth brewing!"
"How long do I estimate it will take before I can get a drink?"
[Host, it will take about ten days!]
【You can raise Momo chickens first. Once they've reached a certain scale and are laying eggs, you can research your fried chicken recipe and make it to market.】
Mu Yunyun touched her round belly; the timing was just right.
After eating fried chicken and drinking fruit wine, it's time to have fox cubs.
