Chapter 239 Opening the Python Box
Feng Yi made a choice so quickly that it was beyond everyone's expectation.
Generally speaking, after being informed of various possibilities, the guests will carefully consider and observe, analyze the shape and color of the snake eggs, and then make the final choice.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Feng Yi said: "I had already been to the incubator when Steve was recording the show."
Everyone understood that since they had already been to the incubator and observed these python eggs in advance, it was no problem to make a choice so quickly now.
The director made a gesture, and someone asked Feng Yi a question prepared in advance:
"Why did you choose this egg?"
Everyone thought that Feng Yi, an expert certified by the Joint Insurance Bureau, would conduct an in-depth analysis of the egg itself.
Then they heard:
"I touched it before."
"... Can you recognize it after touching it? The order in which they are placed now is not the same as in the incubator." The program team said.
"Yeah, I can recognize it."
"Why did you only touch this one among the eggs in the box?"
"It was closest to my hand at that time."
The man who took Feng Yi to the incubator thought carefully: Feng Yi stretched out his hand, stayed above these eggs for a while, and then touched the one under his palm. It seems like this, but it seems something is wrong.
However, it is not important whether Feng Yi's choice is because of these.
"Do you have a favorite genetic strain? What color do you hope it will be after it hatches?"
Feng Yi thought about it. He did not pursue these. He just wanted to take this opportunity to try to raise a snake. He had no preference for color. If he had to say, the original color of the wild one would be fine. I always feel that those fancy ones are too delicate.
He does not need to please anyone. Just say what he thinks.
"I prefer the original color."
The zoo director who had just finished dealing with things and rushed over happened to hear Feng Yi's words, and his smile froze on his face.
He did not care how many genes were superimposed on the python. Even if more genes were superimposed, they could not be sold publicly, so they could only be released in the zoo.
But!
The color must be distinctive! It should be distinguishable even by people who don’t know the industry!
If it’s close to the original color, most tourists won’t buy it!
There are too many original color reticulated pythons!
Body size?
That’s more than a decade later!
At this stage and in the next few years, tourists look at the appearance! It’s the characteristics! It’s the difference!
There are still more people in the world who are afraid of snakes, and people are more afraid of the original color system.
For example, both are six-meter reticulated pythons, wild original color reticulated pythons and albino golden reticulated pythons. Which one do people think is more acceptable?
It must be the latter!
The former gives people a feeling of being too fierce.
Moreover, this batch of eggs was bought back from the base, and each one was selected by him personally. Those that could not hatch were already painful enough for him. If there were a few more close to the original color, he would cry!
No matter what the parties think, Feng Yi’s choice has been made, and there is no intention to change it.
The program team made a mark on the egg.
Feng Yi stepped back and gave up his position.
When it was Steve's turn, he was not as quick to choose as Feng Yi.
No matter which egg, he looked at it with the eyes of a beloved baby.
It was too difficult!
Excluding the one Feng Yi had already chosen, there were still 5 more!
I like every one of them!
"Hey..."
The 1.80-meter-tall man was so confused that he whimpered.
However, people's hearts are still biased.
The requirement was to choose only one out of five. After careful observation and analysis, Steve chose one.
"It."
Feng Yi gave him a thumbs up.
He is worthy of being a big shot, and his eyesight is strong!
The one Steve chose had the strongest life signal. Even without artificial assistance to cut the egg, the little snake inside could successfully break out of the shell.
When asked "Why choose this one", Steve gave more professional explanations.
"So, Steve, what kind of pattern do you like?" asked the program staff.
"I can do anything! Genetic strains don't matter. I think that no matter what kind of genes they have, they all have a beautiful side. I don't distinguish between ordinary genes and expensive genes, and I don't pursue complex genes. In my eyes, each one is unique in the world!"
This may sound hypocritical and artificial to others, but people who are familiar with Steve know that he is such a person.
The green anaconda that looks scary in the eyes of others is cute and adorable in his eyes, and the filter is thicker than the city wall!
A reticulated python that is artificially bred, no matter what genes it has, what its body color and pattern are, Steve can always find its beauty.
The program staff made different marks on the egg.
"Okay, next we invite the teacher in charge of cutting eggs in the zoo's incubator to come over and enter the 'Six consecutive openings of the python box' segment!"
"Which one to cut first?"
"Cut the four without marks first, and Feng Yi and Steve's will be cut last."
The program team has adjusted the camera here.
"Okay, let's start?" The person in charge of cutting eggs looked at the director standing next to him. The director is their boss.
"Begin." said the director.
If it weren't for the show, they would have opened all the eggs yesterday.
The director was also nervous at this moment, praying in his heart: Don't get close to the original color!
Steve was also nervous.
He can find the beauty in every snake, but people are close and distant, and emotional matters are out of control.
If you are involved in feeding yourself, will your emotional investment be the same as if you are feeding someone else?
He is also a layman.
While the program team is looking forward to it, they are also considering various options.
Feng Yi is the most calm and leisurely one.
However, the strong emotional messages emerging from other people and the tense atmosphere created also had some impact on him.
It is impossible to say that he is not looking forward to it at all. After all, it is the first snake he has raised.
Even though the housekeeper always said that snakes were just a kind of food a long time ago, he didn't like such low-level animals very much.
However, you cannot eat it!
Being able to participate in feeding a python is a special experience for Feng Yi.
Feng Yi couldn't sense their body color, and he was also curious about what kind of little things would pop out of these six eggs from different snake nests?
The egg-cutting employee picked up the tool and cut open the snake egg at hand. He picked up the cut eggshell, put his fingers in, and gently picked out the little python inside, so that everyone could see its colors clearly.
"Wow, this is... [Titanium], [Tiger]? Maybe there are other genes added to it."
The belly is white, the back is gray, and there are some dark or light stripes, either continuous or discontinuous.
Generally speaking, it is obviously different from the wild primary color.
When the little snake faced the world for the first time, he seemed a little confused, dazed, and listless. After a while, he seemed to wake up from sleep, and breathed out snake letters to sense the surrounding atmosphere.
When the program crew was filming, Steve also took out his mobile phone to take pictures, and even wanted to do it himself.
"Oh it's such a cutie!"
The director was also very satisfied, and his tense face relaxed, revealing a slight smile.
This color works!
"Next."
The egg-cutting employee carefully put it back into the egg and went to open another one.
The second time, as soon as the eggshell was opened, the director exhaled.
This one is stable too!
"This is [purple albino] [donut] [tiger]..."
Generally orange, with dark and light stripes, and some purple thin lines.
The director doesn't care what genes are added to it, but he is very satisfied with the warm stripes.
The third egg.
He picked out the little snake inside and looked at its body color. The employee who was cutting the eggs was about to speak when a voice next to him beat him to it.
Steve, who was staring at the little snake closely, said excitedly: "Oh~~Lucy! Blue-eyed Lucy! The little baby is so charming!"
Another zoo employee present also said: "We have a blue-eyed Lucy ball python in the zoo, but we don't have a reticulated python yet."
"Now we have it!" The principal was also very happy.
Blue-eyed Lucy reticulated pythons are also found in other zoos, but this is the first blue-eyed Lucy in their park, and it’s pretty good.
The white snake has its own topic!
The fourth egg.
"[Quehong][Super Tiger]...this stripe is a bit interesting."
It's not the warm color that the director likes, but it looks like, "it reminds me of a chipmunk."
Having said that, it seemed to others that someone had already taken out their mobile phone to search for pictures of chipmunks and compared them.
"It's a bit like that."
"Okay, okay!" The principal was satisfied.
When the four eggs were opened, he was relieved. There are two eggs left, even if the original color is opened, there will be guests who will take care of it, so you won’t lose money!
The fifth egg.
"I'll do it!"
Steve couldn't wait any longer and decided to open the eggs himself.
This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing, but compared to the skilled master, he is still a little unfamiliar.
Taking the tool, Steve carefully cut open the eggshell, revealing the small orange snake inside.
The smile in the principal's eyes has already overflowed. Steve is awesome!
At this moment, Steve had no intention of looking at other people's attitudes. All his attention was focused on the little cutie inside the eggshell.
Just as he was about to use his fingers to pick out the little cutie inside, the cutie moved.
The snake's head poked out of the eggshell, its big round red eyes looked outside, and it spat out snake bites.
Then he crawled out of the eggshell, eager to break into the world.
The surrounding program crew and zoo employees all laughed.
“So energetic!”
"It probably won't go back into the egg."
"It's very healthy, but it's too energetic. It can break out of the egg without cutting it, right?"
"Stop it!"
Just as he was about to climb out of the egg box, Steve gently pulled him back and pressed against him.
"Welcome to the world~my cute little tangerine~Daddy loves you!"
Feng Yi: "..."
Even the names are already given!
The zoo employees and people from the show team gathered around him, whether they were really envious or complimentary, they also sent congratulations to Steve at this time.
"This color is so cute!"
"It's a bit exotic, and there are white dots underneath the wavy pattern on the side, like wearing accessories! It's so pretty!"
"Albino [Sun Flame] [Citron]? I don't know if there are other genes. This body color pattern is very pleasing!"
"Yes, yes! Very pleasing!" the principal responded cheerfully.
It’s his favorite warm color!
Make money, make money!
The last one remains.
The principal looked at Feng Yi with expectation in his eyes.
Feng Yi looked at the egg-cutting employee.
"You come on."
Steve is communicating with his beloved "Little Orange", so I won't bother him. In the end, this egg was still opened by the egg cutter.
Feng Yi himself can't do it.
Why did he choose the one with the weakest life signal?
Among the six snake eggs, it is indeed the weakest.
The zoo is not a charity organization. To make a profit, resources are of course tilted, and the degree of care in feeding is definitely different.
A weak young snake, if its body color is also ordinary, the zoo will definitely not spend much time on it, and it may not grow up smoothly.
But if it has Feng Yi's label, its value is not ordinary. Even if it is the original color that the zoo dislikes the most, the director will let people feed it carefully, instead of letting it disappear while feeding.
The employee picked up the tools and carried out the final egg opening.
The camera of the program team turned over, and the other camera was facing Feng Yi.
But Feng Yi's face showed no emotion.
The eggshell was broken, and the employee's face changed when he gently picked up the little snake inside with his fingers.
"Something's not right."
"What's wrong?" The director came over.
White background, with some red spots. The little snake inside is not the original color.
The director had a relaxed smile on his face, but when he heard "something's not right", his smile fell again.
If it's not a problem of body color, then it's... a matter of life or death.
The employee picked out a little of the little snake, but not completely.
Feeling the subtle movement from his fingers, he forced a smile, "It's not very energetic, let it stay in there for a while."
It's alive, but it doesn't seem to have strong vitality, far from the previous ones.
Feng Yi wiped his hands and came over: "Let me see."
The employee gave up his position.
Feng Yi stretched his fingers into the eggshell, close to the little snake, and controlled the active factor to seep from his fingertips into the little snake.
Feeling that its life signal was stronger, he was about to retract his fingers.
The little snake inside slowly drilled its head out, its black round eyes looked outside, and spit out its snake tongue.
When Feng Yi retracted his fingers, it still wanted to crawl out with him.
Feng Yi touched its head with his finger, and then pressed it back.
You are so weak, just stay in the egg!
Seeing that the little snake was still alive, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"This color is very strange." Someone said.
Feng Yi also laughed and said, "It looks a bit like the fish I raise."
The director standing next to him heard this, and his eyes flashed.
The employee who cut the egg was about to analyze its possible genes: "This body color should have..."
The director rushed over: "Ah! This is koi color!"
He took a big step and pushed the employee to the back, and looked at him.
Shut up!
It is koi color! It is!!
He must determine this keyword in front of the camera!
As the director, he knows how to create selling points.
Who knows so many genes?
When you say koi color, everyone will feel involved!
What a good meaning!
The director smiled particularly brightly, and every wrinkle in the corner of his eyes fully expressed his excitement at the moment. He patted Feng Yi's arm:
"It's such a pity that none of them are close to the original color. I disappoint you, hahaha!"
He has already thought of how to promote it:
"You delivered this one yourself!"
Feng Yi: "..."
I'm not! I didn't!
I'm late!
See you tonight!
