Bab 308: Chapter 308: The Old Peafowl's Story

After a while, Fang Ye finished his hamburger and sat down to complain to Gu Shi, "Mr. Gu, when I just came out of the airport, I saw that all the pictures along the corridor were of blue peafowls, but Yunnan, home of the peafowl, is known for green peafowls. Why would they put up images of a foreign peafowl at the airport?"

Gu Shi couldn't be bothered to correct the way he was addressed anymore, "It's quite normal. When I was doing research in a Xishuangbanna stockade village before, there were blue peafowls walking everywhere in the village, as well as statues of blue peafowls. I showed them pictures of both blue and green peafowls, but the Dai people who dance the peacock dance didn't recognize the green peafowl. They believed the blue peafowl is the indigenous peafowl of Yunnan, a totem they have long worshipped."

"Only a very few elderly people recognized the green peafowl!"
