He then saw a beautiful young lady in casual clothes sitting beside the waitress. She caught his eye and he immediately asked Chen Dabei, “Manager Chen, what does that beauty do in the villa?”
“She’s the villa’s pet breeder,” Chen Dabei said as he glanced at Zhang Guizhu.
…
On the other side…
Qin Lin entered the original hall with three Quality 2 duck eggs and saw his mother and Zhao Moqing walking over.
During this period of time, Li Kai, Li Qing, and Professor Ren would eat here. He, his mother, and Zhao Moqing’s meals were also prepared by Master Lin. There was no need to trouble Master Lin to cook in two different places.
Li Kai and Li Qing were already sitting in their usual seats by the window.
Professor Ren also sat at another table with his assistant.
As for Professor Liu, he had already returned to Ming City with his research assistant.
When Lin Fen saw her son coming over, she asked, “Xiao Lin, what are you holding?”
Qin Lin smiled and explained, “Duck eggs. I brought them back specially today. We each have one.”
“Duck egg?” Zhao Moqing saw that the bag was not the right size and took it in confusion. When she opened it, she was stunned.
She took out a big duck egg and said in surprise, “Qin Lin, you call this duck egg?”
Li Qing and the others were clearly attracted to it.
The duck egg was too big.
Li Kai said directly, “Brother Qin, this is an ostrich egg, right?”
Qin Lin explained, “This is really a duck egg. It’s different from ordinary duck eggs. The duck that laid this egg weighs more than 40 catties.”
“More than 40 catties? There’s such a big duck?” Lin Fen was shocked. She had raised ducks in the countryside in the past and had no idea that ducks could grow to more than 40 catties.
Zhao Moqing was also in disbelief. “Qin Lin, you’re going to buy such big ducks for your duck house?”
When Qin Lin heard this question, he said the excuse he had made up, “Of course not in the beginning. I originally planned to buy a batch of ordinary ducks. It’s just that someone in the livestock wholesale market promoted a batch of ducks to me. He said that the breed had changed and three of them had grown to 40 catties. These eggs were born from those three ducks. I plan to go over tomorrow to take a look. It’s just that the price the other party quoted is very expensive. I haven’t decided if I want to buy them.”
“It’s very expensive?” When Li Qing heard his words, he frowned and said, “Qin Lin, is he making a trap for you? I’ve really never seen a duck weighing 40 catties, especially such a big duck egg. Don’t tell me he’s tricking you with an ostrich egg?”
Li Kai also nodded and said, “That’s right. Brother Qin, you have to be careful. It’ll be troublesome if someone really sets a trap for you. I’ve never seen such a big duck egg.”
Real friends would often get to the bottom of things at this time. The two of them treated Qin Lin as a friend. When they heard the loophole in Qin Lin’s words, the first thing they thought of was to worry about him.
“No wonder when I said I was going to the other party’s livestock farm, they kept finding excuses,” Qin Lin said awkwardly.
He really did not expect this uncle and nephew to think that someone had set him up.
Now, he could only change his strategy and follow the thoughts of his uncle and nephew.
At this moment, Professor Ren walked forward and said to Li Kai, “Xiao Li, you’re an associate professor after all. Won’t you know if it’s a duck egg with a test? Are there any instruments that can detect it?”
“That’s right. Thank you for reminding me, Professor Ren. My concern confused me for a moment.” Li Kai patted his head and led Li Qing into the shed built in the backyard to take out a few instruments and some tools. Then, he said to Qin Lin, “Brother Qin, give me an egg. I’ll help you test it. If it’s not a duck egg, the other party has definitely set you up.”
Qin Lin knew that this was a duck egg.
But he could not say it.
Besides, Li Kai was doing this for his own good.
He could only take out a duck egg and hand it to Li Kai.
Li Kai took the duck egg, cracked it on a bowl, and began to fiddle with it.
Professor Ren walked over and checked.
Zhao Moqing and Lin Fen’s attention were also attracted by Li Kai, wanting to know the outcome.
At this moment, an apprentice brought out the dishes and placed them on the table without anyone paying attention.
With such an experimental professional instrument, it did not take long to detect the duck egg.
After some time, under Li Kai’s operation, the instrument’s screen displayed the test data.
Li Kai looked at the data in surprise and said, “This… is really a duck egg.”
“Is it really a duck egg?” Li Qing could not help but pick up the broken duck egg and look at it.
“Is this duck egg real?” Lin Fen asked Zhao Moqing.
“Yes.” Zhao Moqing nodded.
Professor Ren looked at the test data and said, “Not only is it a duck egg, but it also has many substances that are beneficial to the human body. There are many ingredients that can nourish one’s appearance. The duck that gave birth to this duck egg might really be a mutated breed.”
Qin Lin took the opportunity to say, “In other words, the other party didn’t lie to me. Is there really such a big duck?”
“To be able to give birth to such a big duck egg, that duck must not be small.” Li Kai nodded, then frowned. “But if it’s really a mutation, and the egg can nourish the face and beauty, why did the other party sell it to Boss Qin? Can’t he keep it for himself to cultivate?”
Li Qing smiled and said, “This means that there’s still something wrong with that duck, and the other party doesn’t have the ability to solve it. Therefore, he wants to find a receiver to earn a sum of money, lest it all go down the drain in the end and he earns nothing.”
Li Kai reacted and said, “That’s possible. I heard something at the research institute. A small orchard owner was lucky to obtain a mutated grape and secretly cultivated it himself. He was afraid that outsiders would know.”
“But the mutated variety was accompanied by many problems that ordinary people could not solve. In the end, the small orchard owner cultivated the mutated grape to death. When he found out that a company was willing to buy it for five million yuan, he sat on the ground and cried.”
“Then if there’s a problem with this duck, it means that we shouldn’t buy it?” Zhao Moqing knew that there was a problem with the other party’s duck after listening for a long time.
Qin Lin did not expect things to be so dramatic.
There was no problem with the duck, but Li Kai and Li Qing did not know the situation. According to their guess, it was normal. It was even possible for another person to think of a more bizarre plot.
Professor Ren looked at the test data and thought for a moment before saying, “Boss Qin, there’s nothing wrong with this duck’s egg, and there’s no harmful substance. Just this alone shows that this mutated duck is very valuable.”
“Whether or not the other party knows there’s a problem with the duck and wants you to take over, you can keep the ducks first. There are a lot of problems with mutant breeds, but just because the other party can’t solve them doesn’t mean everyone can’t.”
“I know an old friend with skills in this area. If there’s really a problem with the ducks, I’ll contact them for you and get that old friend to come over and help you resolve it.”
He was repaying Qin Lin for letting him study the medicinal wine. It was true that mutated varieties were rare, but compared to the possibility of the Qinglin Medicinal Wine’s denaturation element, it was not something a few ducks could compare to.
If there was a problem with the duck, he would get his old friend to come over and help resolve it. It could be considered making up for it.
Qin Lin really felt that it was ridiculous.
This was a clear arrangement for him.
Now this story was even more bizarre than the one he had made up.
But the key was that this was led by Professor Ren, so it was not a problem no matter how ridiculous it was.
Really, he hadn’t even thought about that.
At this point, he pretended to be embarrassed and said, “I was planning to give up after hearing what Li Qing and the others said. Since Professor Ren has said so, I’ll contact them tomorrow.”
“Qin Lin, I’ll get Master Lin to make these two remaining duck eggs into egg soup for everyone to try,” Zhao Moqing said as she carried the remaining two duck eggs into the kitchen.
This made Li Qing and Li Kai look forward to it. They were also foodies. They had never eaten such a big duck egg in their lives.
When they reached the kitchen, she handed two duck eggs to Master Lin and said, “Make these two duck eggs into egg soup and give Professor Ren, Mr. Li, and the others a share.”
“Two duck eggs for three portions of egg custard?” Master Lin almost subconsciously said, but when he turned around and saw the two duck eggs, he was dumbfounded. “Lady Boss, are these duck eggs?”
Damn… He was inexperienced and had never seen such a big duck egg.
Zhao Moqing nodded and explained, “It’s a duck egg, a new breed. The villa might produce such duck eggs in the future.”
“Is it really a duck egg? My god.” Master Lin picked up one of them and looked at it, feeling amazed.
