Chapter 336 Swiftlet

These two swallows were the children of the first generation of domestic swallows. They have been in contact with humans since childhood, so they are not afraid of people. When Liu Junhao fed them food, he also whistled according to the method of training Qingzhuang. Therefore, the two swallows were very sensitive to this sound and fell down immediately when they heard the sound.

"I x, now I have more confidence in you, even the swallow can be cursed. But you really don't know what kind of swallow it is?" Huo Jun looked at Mr. Zhao with the last glimmer of hope.

"Don't keep it aside, hurry up and say what kind of bird it is. Could it be that your swallow is made of gold?" Liu Junhao just looked left and right, looked up and down, but he couldn't see anything strange about the swallow.

"Don't say that although this swallow is not made of gold, it's not cheap. Do you know how much I bought it?" He said, stretching out five fingers.

"Five yuan?" After hearing his description, Liu Junhao knew that the price was very high, but he still deliberately lowered it.

"You guys are you angry, are you? I bought it in Huaiji, Zhaoqing for 500 yuan?" Huo Jun said hatefully.

"Huaiji, Yanyan?... Are you a swiftlet?" Professor Zhao suddenly connected. Yanyan is the only place where swiftlets live in the mainland in my country, and is known as the "Yandu of China".

"Old man, you finally know. This is the legendary swiftlet. When I went to Yanyan to buy bird's nest a few days ago, I saw that there were swiftlets selling next to me. I paid for a few of them when I got out. As a result, I realized that I had lost money when I first came out. Many people were selling them with nylon bags, one bag after another, which was much cheaper than mine." Huo Jun shouted with his head down.

"Bird's nest, can bird's nest be made by this kind of bird's nest?" Liu Junhao looked at the little guys in disbelief, and did not seem to see any big difference between them and ordinary bird's bird's nest, but the fur on his body was slightly different. As for bird's nest, although he had never seen the real thing, he had heard of it for a long time. When he was a child, he had done the feat of "cooking bird's nest" with Liu Qiyong. At that time, the two of them didn't know which book they saw the description of bird's nest. They naively thought that bird's nest was the kind of mud nest built under the eaves of the house bird's nest. They heard that this thing could be eaten, so they secretly threw the bird's nest under the eaves of Liu Qiyong's house while the adults were not at home. Then they threw it into the pot without even washing it, and cooked it, and it turned out to be mud.

After tasting it, the two felt that the taste was wrong, so they scooped a few spoonfuls of candy inside, and then gritted the bullet and drank the mud and water.

When they later found out that this bird's nest was not the other bird's nest, they all felt silly and funny when they remembered it.

"Odd" Huo Jun nodded.

"You are not guilty. I heard that people pick bird's nests one after another, and finally vomit blood by the swallows. If you eat this thing, you will lose your conscience." Seeing the miserable appearance of the swift swiftlets, Liu Junhao spoke up for them. He had been with Huo Jun for nearly a year and was considered a good friend, so he talked less and had many taboos.

"You guy doesn't understand, it's called a blood swan, it's a treasure in the bird's nest. It's not formed by the sparrowing blood, but the food it eats contains seaweed and other objects, and is named after the red silk." Huo Jun also learned the allusion that he only learned to visit Yanyan this time, but this did not prevent him from learning and selling it in front of Liu Junhao.

"If you buy bird's nest, you can buy bird's nest. Why did you buy the swiftlets too?" Professor Zhao asked strangely. He didn't hear that hens think they taste delicious.

"I heard from the man who sold bird's nest that this swallow can be cultivated into a house. I didn't think about it carefully at that time, and I took out some money to buy a few of them after I asked someone who knew the business and found out that the shop owner was not worth his life. The main foods needed by swiftlets were silverfish and seaweed, so that the quality of the bird's nest could be guaranteed. There are no two kinds of foods here at all, so where can I find them.

They are very picky in choosing a swallow house. They must consider the temperature, humidity, and width of the room. Whether the space design can make it slide smoothly. In addition, there must be enough space for the swiftlets to play so that they can retain the swiftlets. I heard from people that some people spent 70,000 or 80,000 to build a swiftlet, but at that speed, they had to wait 8 or 9 years to make a return. I didn’t have the patience at all, so I just thought it was just throwing out a few hundred yuan in vain. "Huo Jun answered quite annoyedly.

The swallow house is a house specially built for swallows to facilitate the collection of bird's nests. The structure is no different from that of ordinary houses. The way of raising swallows is not special. Swallows still have to rely on themselves to find food outside, and the house is just a place to build nests for them.

Huo Jun initially thought that the swallows in the house could be kept in a bird cage like raising chickens and ducks. After he realized that this was not the case at all, he completely gave up his thoughts.

"Then why did you bring the swallow to Liujiagou? Could it be that you still want to build a swallow house here?" Liu Junhao saw that this person had the tendency to become Xianglin Sao, and quickly interrupted him and asked.

"Oh, to be honest, I originally planned to stew this bird, but finally thought about 'Save a life, better than building a seven-level pagoda', so I planned to give it to people. Your house is a good environment, there are a lot of white fish in the ditch in the backyard, and raising swiftlets should be very wrong. I thought about giving you the swiftlets. If I really cultivate it, I will give me a bird's nest at that time, so I won't let my few hundred dollars waft. What do you think?" Huo Jun asked.

Raising swiftlets seems to be challenging in this job, but I know nothing about this kind of bird. Liu Junhao was really hard to answer him. If this bird was raised in his hands, it would be a sin. But if you really develop it... there are many bird's nests. In the future, I will visit Zhang's parents and mothers in the city and directly carry it on the bird's nest, so I can be so proud.

"There is little hope. I haven't heard of anyone in our country who has successfully raised it." Professor Zhao is not optimistic about this project, and always thinks that Huo Jun is too whimsical.

"There are exceptions in everything, what if it succeeds. Just say that if it is really successful, I will give me a bird's nest then." In fact, Huo Jun didn't have much hope, but he just didn't want to see these little guys killing their lives in his hands.

"Okay, I'll try it." Liu Junhao finally nodded and agreed to this matter. With the cheating device of the stone lock, the golden swiftlet might be able to support it. After all, the two otters are living examples. When he planned to keep Baoyu and his wife in the yard, Mr. Zhao concluded early that adult otters are difficult to tame, and if they are not kept in captivity, they will escape.

Huo Jun came here to pick up the hornet's nest this time. After the gossip continued, he hurriedly urged his master to get the hornet's nest out quickly.

After sending the person away, Liu Junhao carried the bird cage into the house. After searching the Internet for a long time, there seemed to be very few articles introducing the habits of swiftlets, but there were a lot of articles about bird's nests. But in the end, I finally realized that this thing is like a bat, and it is generally difficult to fly on the flat ground, and it must be glided with a certain height.

If this is the case, I will not worry about their running away in the future. After Professor Zhao left, Liu Junhao couldn't wait to open the stone lock and put all the swiftlets into it.

These guys just entered the stone lock space, just like other animals, were a little dizzy. However, after panic, they actually became quiet.

Huh...Eat fish?

When Liu Junhao saw one of the swiftlets standing by the pond, pecking at the meat and wheat shreds in the water, he was delighted. Generally speaking, the swallows' necks are to catch food during the flight, but there are exceptions in everything. If the food is stuck there, they will of course also catch it. The fish in his stone lock rarely encounter natural enemies on the road, so they appear to be stupid and let the swiftlets sing.

As long as they eat food, they should be able to feed them.

However, seeing them pecking on the shore with their heads lowered, Liu Junhao always felt a little weird, and it seemed that it was more beautiful when flying to peck at them.

They can't fly without gliding space? Then create one for them.

Thinking of this, Liu Junhao immediately ran to the pond to catch swallows. He didn't know how Huo Jun raised it these days. When the golden chrysanthemum was just sent, his eyes were dull and there was no trace of spiritual energy. Now, he had just been in the stone lock for less than ten minutes and his body began to become agile. When he saw Liu Junhao coming, they immediately stepped back with their thin legs. They were chased so anxiously that their bodies flashed into the grass. Now the stone lock is not as desolate as it was at the beginning. The wild chrysanthemums, thin hair grass, etc. inside are all deep in their knees. In a blink of an eye, several golden syllites have disappeared without a trace.

I x, the tiger doesn't show its power, you think I'm a sick cat, Liu Jun chased after meteorically in the grass. When he locked a swiftlet, he suddenly opened the space and the guy immediately fell into the room.

Grasping the swiftlet and re-entering the space, Liu Junhao threw it into the sky vigorously. The swiftlet let out a crisp cry, and then spread its wings and jumped into the air.

After flying for two weeks, it seemed to have completely adapted to the environment of the stone lock. With its wings swept, it had already drawn an arc on the water surface, and a white fish was pecked into its mouth. Fortunately, the stone lock space is large enough, which gives them a place to circulate.

Liu Junhao did the same thing and finally sent a few swiftlets into the air. Seeing these guys flying freely in the stone locks, he couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the sky belonged to their stage. Raising swiftlets into bird cages is no different from locking tigers in an iron cage. It should be like treating otters, when they get familiar with each other in the yard, they will scatter into the air. There happened to be a room on the second floor of his body empty, so I don't know if it's okay to use them as a swallow house.

He has no experience in raising swiftlets, and he can only cross the river by feeling the stones.

At present, this start seems to be good. For the legendary bird's nest, Liu Junhao felt that he should work hard to provide a comfortable environment for these swiftlets.
