Communicate with furry animals without any barriers, and take the farm to the next level

Chapter 22 "Barter"

Josh was so scared that he jumped up to see what it was. As it got closer, he could see it clearly.

What! Josh saw birds of all sizes holding more or less fish in their mouths and claws.

When they flew outside the cabin, they were scattered all over the ground, and it started to rain fish on the farm.

“What are you doing? Why did you give me so many fish?” Josh was confused in the air in the yard.

"Exchange Coo-coo, exchange that round thing to eat Coo-coo." The white-feathered egret took the lead again, and the other birds cooed in agreement.

I have to say that the fish these little birds caught were much bigger than Josh’s, they are indeed professionals.

"But I don't have that many fish balls to exchange with you. I only have these." Qiao Xi brought out the remaining bowl of ordinary small fish balls.

"Coo" "Coo, coo, coo" the little birds flew to one side and started discussing with each other with a cooing sound.

The brown-headed vulture looked at its useless fellow with disdain and flew aside decisively, not wanting to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Gugu" We won't let you work for nothing. We will exchange with you based on the size of the fish, and the extra ones will be given to you.

"How do I change it?" Josh asked.

"Gugu," he said, "please divide these round fish into portions as big as my paw: three for large fish, one for small fish, and two for fish of medium size." The white-feathered egret held out its paw for Qiao Xi to see.

Josh took a look and folded a few origami leaves at the door, folding them into a box shape. "Can I use this? It's about the same size as your claws."

"Coo coo" Sure, sure, smart farmer.

The white-winged egret looked like a teachable child.

Josh was ashamed and was even taught a lesson by the bird.

"Then which of you will come first?"

The first to bear the brunt of the action was, of course, the White-feathered Heron. It grabbed a large fish the length of its arm and successfully traded it for three boxes of fish balls. Josh looked at this unequal exchange and felt a little sorry for it. "White-feathered Heron, you can take half a fish. This is too much."

"Coo-coo!" A fair exchange! The white-feathered egret never regrets.

"Uh, okay"

Seeing how persistent it was, Qiao Xi could only replace the fish one by one as agreed before, but there were more fish than fish balls, and the whole basin of fish balls was soon gone, while there were still many birds waiting with fish in their mouths.

Qiao Xi looked at the birds behind him with embarrassment, picked up the empty basin and showed it to them: "Sorry, there are no more."

The little birds still waiting at the back suddenly became like vegetables hit by frost, all of them drooping their heads and wailing.

Qiao Xi thought about it and felt that this was really heartbreaking. He then said, "Can you come and help me tomorrow? I'll make more fish balls tomorrow and you can all have them."

Finally, these dejected little birds were calmed down.

There were fish all over the ground, so Qiao Xi asked the big-tailed yak to freeze them one by one, and then piled them aside like firewood. With the big-tailed yak around, he was not afraid that the fish would be stolen by other small creatures.

However, it was not a sudden decision of Josh to continue making fish balls tomorrow. There were simply too many fish in the yard, and there was no better way to deal with them if he didn't make them. The shipping boxes were sold too cheaply, and Josh was in great danger of losing money.

He got up very early, but the birds had not come yet. Qiao Xi first asked the big-tailed yak to thaw some fish and cut it with great effort. The brown-headed vulture was watching him intently from the tree and quacked twice, but Qiao Xi had not yet reacted to what it said.

The large piece of fish she had cut into pieces had been sliced ​​into fillets by the wind blade. "Zhuangzhuang, thank you so much! You've lightened up a lot of my workload!" Qiao Xi said to the brown-headed crow with a smile.

The brown-headed hawk-vulture looked at the smiling Josh, a little embarrassed, nodded coldly, and then pretended to say casually, "Quack, I can do more for you, no need to find other birds."

Qiao Xi laughed so hard that he bent over. The big black bird that looked so obedient turned out to be so possessive. He still remembered what he said last night.

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely call you when I need you. There are too many fish, and it's impossible for just the two of us to catch them all. They're just helping me with the transaction. Brown, we're family."

It started, it started, Josh started to CPU simple bird.

The brown-headed eagle believed it and nodded reservedly, "Okay." Then he stood aside and watched Josh whenever he needed help, then sent a wind blade to him.

Josh thought to himself: If I had known that the bird would integrate into farm life so quickly, I should have used it for some tasks yesterday. It would have saved me so much effort.

After Josh had cut up the fish and the brown-headed vulture had cut them with the wind blade, the little birds came over one after another.

Seeing that Josh had started to chop the fish, the little birds all expressed their apologies for being late.

Looking at the chirping of the birds, Qiao Xi suddenly had an idea and thought of letting them try to chop the fish paste with the wind blade.

The wind blade of the brown-headed crow-vulture was too powerful. It had just tried to cut off a piece of the tree stump she was using as a chopping board, so for the sake of the integrity of the chopping board, Josh didn't dare let it try again. This was the only chopping board she had, so she had to use it with care.

Most bird-like monsters have wind attributes. These birds are only slightly smaller than the brown-headed vulture, so their wind blades should not be very big. Josh decided to let them give it a try.

Sure enough, the wind blade emitted by the small bird is also small. Although its power is average, it is very effective for chopping meat.

Seeing that they were helping him chop the meat, Qiao Xi felt relieved to deal with the other part of the fish. Big Tail Yak saw the opportunity and thawed another batch of fish, which was just ready for slicing.

With the help of the brown-headed crow, the large piece of fish was quickly divided and chopped, and the two sides were exchanged and connected.

Just as Josh was about to go to the kitchen to get out the bird eggs to make meringue, he suddenly realized a problem.

It seems that these eggs were stolen from the bird's nest. It doesn't seem right to kill the children in front of their parents.

For a moment, Qiao Xi was in a dilemma and stood at the door for a long time.

A large-webbed sand goose asked curiously, "Quack, farmer, why don't you go in? Are you going to get eggs? Take more. I love eggs."

Huh? Josh looked back at it in shock. How did it know she was going to take the eggs? No, how could it eat eggs?

Perhaps because Josh's shock was too obvious, the Great-footed Sand Goose dodged to the side. "Quack, why are you so surprised? Did I say something wrong?"

At this time, the white-feathered heron came late, but it heard the conversation between the two of them and said, "Coo, we birds also eat bird eggs. You don't have to be surprised, little farmer."

"Gugu, it's right, you can add more, we love it."

Uh, okay, Josh didn't know what to say for a moment. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with birds eating bird eggs. Some birds even specialized in stealing other birds' eggs to eat.

After figuring it out, she felt relieved to get the bird eggs from the kitchen, separated the egg white, and mixed the yolk and fish bones into the brown-headed cuckoo's stomach.

The big black bird even showed off in front of the other birds on purpose, causing everyone's anger. For a moment, the ground was covered with bird feathers. In the end, the experienced brown-headed vulture won.
