Chapter 141 Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is unacceptable
"Cheng Jian, you brothers help me push the cart to the clinic."
After Ye Jingchuan finished speaking, he greeted the elders of the Wen family and turned to walk away.
The Wen brothers, pulling and pushing the cart, each holding one side, stood at the four corners and set off.
How could Wenwen possibly miss this opportunity to go out?
Besides, she still had questions for her uncle.
"Uncle, I want to go too."
How could Ye Jingchuan refuse? "Let's go!"
He also needs Wenwen to give him some constructive advice.
This girl is full of tricks; she has hallucinogenic drugs and antidotes in her hands, and having her around is like adding wings to a tiger.
It is widely acknowledged that every part of a python is valuable.
As a descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, Ye Jingchuan certainly possessed this basic knowledge, which is why he went through so much trouble to drag this thing down the mountain into the town.
Now that he was in town, he was a little reluctant to kill the snake.
Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is not a viable approach. He needs to find a way to ensure that the snake continuously provides them with useful resources.
However, he couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.
As the saying goes, "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me," and "Three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang." The younger generation of the Wen family is full of talented people, and they must have many unexpected methods that may be able to help him solve this problem.
Therefore, Ye Jingchuan made the final decision and abducted the Wen family's young men and Wen Wen.
Before they knew it, the group had arrived at the shop entrance.
The shop assistant, Li Zi, saw the group and hurriedly came out to greet them, "Doctor Ye, you're finally back! You have no idea what's happened these past few days..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Jingchuan hurriedly interrupted, "Li Zi, Li Zi, take these people to the backyard first."
Wen Chengjian and the others pushed the cart, following behind Li Zi, and made their way to the backyard of the clinic without any obstacles.
"Please come inside with me."
"Okay, I'm done."
Wen Chengjian thanked Li Zi and took the opportunity to give Wenwen a look.
Wenwen understood, and with a thought, she put away what needed to be put away. The group followed Li Zi into a hall in the backyard.
Not long after, Ye Jingchuan finished dealing with the remaining issues at the shop and hurriedly went to the main hall.
Before anyone even entered the house, a voice flew in from outside, "You guys think about it, what should we do with this snake?"
Regardless of seniority, they were all of similar age, and without their elders present, they all offered their opinions.
"Kill it, take its gallbladder, that goes without saying."
"With so much meat, there must be a lot of snake oil. Uncle is going to be rich."
"Don't forget, there's also snakeskin!"
"Upon careful consideration, not a single bit can be wasted."
"Uncle, you're going to be busy."
Ye Jingchuan frowned; he was dissatisfied with and did not agree with any of these answers.
"Uncle, are you reluctant to kill it?"
Ye Jingchuan's eyes lit up.
Yes, that's the crux of his problem.
Unexpectedly, Wenwen is the one who understands him best.
Ye Jingchuan smiled and spoke in a persuasive tone.
“Have you ever thought that killing a chicken means you’re done with it, but raising it means you can keep it and harvest it as you please? You can harvest it wherever you want, however you want. That’s the best way to have an inexhaustible supply. Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is the worst thing you can do.”
"It sounds a bit cruel, but it makes a lot of sense."
"But how do we raise them? Where do we put them? Who will raise them?"
"This is a big problem, and a difficult one."
Ye Jingchuan sighed; he was well aware of this.
Looking around, who has the ability to raise a python? Even if the master came, he would have to give up this unrealistic dream.
"Sigh, it is indeed a big problem. I acted impulsively."
Wenwen: "......"
Oh no! She hasn't even given her opinion yet, and Uncle already wants to give up?
How can that be? Although minors don't have the right to vote, she can still offer her opinions. Whether they listen or not is up to them, and whether she speaks up or not is her own choice.
Besides, does she have the ability to raise them? Does she have the space to raise them? Isn't this just resources being handed to her on a silver platter? She's not stupid enough to pass up such a bargain!
cough! cough!
Wenwen lowered her voice, "Uncle, the teacher always says that when you encounter difficulties, you should not give up easily. Don't be impatient, I have a solution."
Without further ado, Wenwen had a thought, and suddenly the giant python appeared on the floor in the middle of the hall.
At this moment, the python was coiled up and very quiet, presumably because the effects of the medicine had not yet worn off, which was why it was so reassuring.
Ye Jingchuan's mind went blank for a moment, and he asked a stupid question, "What should we feed it?"
"Hehehe..."
Wen Chengbin spoke quickly and bluntly, "Let's all work together to catch pheasants and rabbits."
Wenwen thought to herself.
There's no need to go through all that trouble.
They received pheasants, rabbits, and other wild animals from the space. With the diligent care of the online treasure and the generosity of the space's mountains, these wild animals multiplied rapidly and are now able to produce and sell their own food. From now on, their family will not have to worry about eating meat.
However, I wonder just how much this python eats.
What if he eats her out of house and home? Wouldn't that be a huge loss for her?
Wenwen secretly spoke to Xianbao, "Xianbao, limit its food intake from now on. Don't give it too much at once, or it'll eat me out of house and home. Got it?"
"Master, I understand! I'll keep a close eye on it, don't worry!"
Receiving Xianbao's response made Wenwen feel even more at ease.
His words carried even more weight: "Uncle, I'll take care of this python. Keep it here with me!"
"hiss!"
The older brothers all gasped, looking stunned and frightened.
Little sister, your domineering aura is so overwhelming, how are your brothers supposed to cope!
They knew about their sister's mysterious nature and acknowledged her abilities, but it all happened a bit too suddenly.
Tell me, with such a capable and talented younger sister, they couldn't possibly catch up to her even if they tried!
"You'll raise it? Where will you put it? How will you raise it?"
Ye Jingchuan looked a bit dazed, as if he'd been hit by a windfall.
In response to these three questions, Wenwen nodded firmly and said seriously, "Yes, I'll raise it. Don't worry about where you put it. I can't guarantee it will be healthy and plump, but at least it won't die. Are you sure?"
Looking at the earnest expression on the little girl's face, Ye Jingchuan swallowed hard.
To say he felt no emotional turmoil would be a lie, but as for how much turmoil he felt, how could he describe it? He could only vaguely say, "Unheard of." Even if his master came, he would have to admire this girl's tone.
Ye Jingchuan wasn't one of Mo Ji's people either; he practically swore an oath to the heavens. He was beaming from ear to ear.
"Don't worry, absolutely don't worry, there's no need for Bai Pang, just keep it hanging on by a thread!"
"Uh......"
Wen Chengjian and his buddies exchanged glances, turned their faces away, and couldn't help but complain inwardly.
Uncle is so willing to go all out; he says it so fluently.
Fortunately, it was a snake in front of him, and a sleeping snake at that, so my uncle could open his mouth without any pressure.
The python itself: ......
Shouldn't you ask for my opinion? Instead of keeping it hanging on, it's better to just kill it and give it a quick death.
If pythons had thoughts, they wouldn't know whether they should be grateful to have met these people.
Ye Jingchuan's minimum requirement was indeed unexpected for Wenwen.
She couldn't help but twitch her lips. "Uncle, it's not that bad. She's still alive, it's just that she can't be spoiled."
Wenwen didn't want to waste any more time on this matter.
She waved her hand and put the snake away.
Before anyone could speak, the topic was quickly changed.
"Uncle, who were those two elderly people at the door earlier?"
