Chapter 981 Correct Usage of Disposable Chopsticks

As an ordinary person, it’s okay not to know that cats and hamsters may have phagophobia. Once you know it, when you see a female cat or a female hamster in close contact with a newborn cub, you will nervously think that they are going to eat the cubs , Many times the ignorant is really fearless.

In fact, Zhang Zian saw it clearly, the mother hamster did bite, but what she bit was the umbilical cord, not the cub.

Now even Little Celery, who always had a smile on her face, got angry. She pulled Wang Yaning back, suppressed her anger and criticized: "Yaning, don't speak so loudly! You scared the mother hamster!"

The other students also felt that Wang Yaning was too impatient, but they dared not speak out.

Wang Yaning was quite unconvinced, "But I clearly see that it is going to eat the cub..."

"What should we do now?"

"Why don't you take the little hamster out quickly?"

The other children were also talking about it, and one child reached out to pick up the little hamster.

Zhang Zian slapped his hands off, interrupted their argument, and said, "Stop arguing, do you have disposable chopsticks here? Bring me a pair!"

"Disposable chopsticks?"

The elementary school students present were all taken aback when they heard this, and one of the more naughty boys thought about it, and his face changed and he said, "It's hard... do you want to eat 'Zhizhi'?"

"Squeak?"

The other children were even more stunned. What is "Zhizhi"? Can you still eat?

Zhang Zian knew what he was referring to, of course it was definitely not the sound of π, but an alternative recipe that was popular in some places where live mouse cubs were dipped in soy sauce and vinegar, and then chewed directly in his mouth. It got its name from the scream of a mouse cub before it died.

This way of eating can be said to be quite cruel, comparable to eating monkey brains raw, no wonder no other children have heard of it. The little boy didn't know where he had heard about it. When he heard that Zhang Zian asked for disposable chopsticks, he thought about the hamster cubs, thinking that Zhang Zian saw that the hamster cubs would not survive, and that it would be better if they were eaten by the mother hamster. eat yourself...

Zhang Zian would definitely not explain to the children what "Zhizhi" was, otherwise they would definitely have nightmares. He gave the little boy a wink and said, "What's that squeaking? Stop talking nonsense, are there any disposable chopsticks?"

"Yes, the buns I bought on the way just now came with two pairs of disposable chopsticks, but I haven't used them yet, it's more enjoyable to eat the buns with my hands..." Another little boy said, and handed over two pairs of disposable chopsticks.

Zhang Zian couldn't agree more, eating buns with chopsticks was heresy.

"You really don't care about hygiene!" Wang Yaning showed disgust.

Both pairs of disposable chopsticks were wrapped in plastic film and had not been opened. Zhang Zian tore off the plastic film of one of the pairs, rubbed the thinner end against the cardboard box to remove any burrs that might remain, and then stared at the female hamster intently.

This is the first birth of the female hamster. It was going well, but she was a little overwhelmed by Wang Yaning's sharp and thin voice. Don't worry about it, just look around with small round eyes.

Most hamsters are very timid, and usually tremble with fright when there is any disturbance. If they are frightened during childbirth, they may eat the cubs, or run away with the cubs to a place it thinks is safe.

Zhang Zian ordered the idle children to prepare an empty cardboard box, pour new clean sawdust into it, then pick up the female hamster with disposable chopsticks, put it into the new cardboard box, and temporarily separate it from the cubs.

He poked around in the old cardboard box a few times with chopsticks, found a pile of wet sawdust in the corner, picked up a few pieces with chopsticks, and put them next to the female hamster in the new cardboard box.

"That's sawdust stained with rat urine," a little boy reminded.

"It doesn't matter, this is what I want." Zhang Zian said.

In a completely unfamiliar new environment, in order to make the female hamster feel at ease, it is necessary to transfer the sawdust, paper, cotton and other things stained with mouse urine with the female hamster.

Let it eliminate the wariness of the new environment.

Zhang Zian picked up the sawdust stained with mouse urine and rubbed it against the cub, rubbing the smell of the mother hamster onto it, then picked it up more carefully and placed it next to the mother hamster in the new cardboard box.

The children watched nervously as the transfer took place.

"From now on, don't touch the baby hamsters with your hands within three weeks, don't get human smells on them, and use disposable chopsticks like this when you need to clean up cardboard boxes." Zhang Zian explained softly.

A child asked inquisitively, "What about in three weeks?"

"After three weeks? After three weeks, the cub has grown up and can be separated from its mother. At that time, it can already be grasped directly by hand." Zhang Zian replied.

"I'm not good at using chopsticks. Is it okay to hold the cub with gloves? Or use a spoon?" A little boy asked shyly.

The other kids snickered under their breath.

"It's best not to use a spoon to make the cubs fall off easily. When you need to transfer them, let someone with good chopsticks do it." Zhang Zian didn't laugh at him. Many children are not very good at using chopsticks, especially those whose parents love them. That kind, some children are even seven or eight years old and still have to be fed by their parents one by one.

In fact, it is possible to wear gloves, but the premise is that the gloves must be disposable, not contaminated with human odor, and the process of wearing gloves must be standardized, otherwise wearing them is equivalent to wearing them for nothing. These requirements are too difficult for elementary school students. It is simple and convenient to use disposable chopsticks.

The mother hamster sniffed the cub and smelled her own scent on the cub, which made her instinctively think that it was her own child, so she pulled the cub to her side, and the new environment made her feel more at ease.

After a while, the second cub was born smoothly.

And then the third, the fourth...

The children were dumbfounded and murmured, "It's really possible to give birth..."

The mother hamster gave birth to eight cubs, and her bulging abdomen just flattened a little. Exhausted, she used her body to press the cubs to keep them warm, and at the same time looked around with her round eyes.

"I asked you to prepare the homemade paper cotton in advance, are you ready?" Zhang Zian asked.

"Ready."

Little Celery brought a bag of homemade paper cotton and handed it to him.

After he unpacked it, he grabbed a handful of tissue paper and sprinkled it in the other corner of the cardboard box.

"What's homemade paper cotton for?" the children asked curiously. They have always been curious about what to use these wide strips of paper cotton for.

Zhang Zian didn't answer, and motioned for them to take a closer look.

The mother hamster quickly noticed the pile of paper cotton, left the hamster cubs who were waiting to be fed, quickly ran to the paper cotton, and opened her mouth to eat it.
