651 It's not good for animals to be too harmonious
(Thanks to book friends 151114214406570, luciferfiend, and monologue monthly tickets for encouragement)
Sorghum wine, Liu Heming has wanted to brew it for a long time. is used to drinking liquor, and for foreign wines such as wine and whiskey, both he and Liu Zhaoxiang are a little uninterested.
Now that the sorghum has been threshed, he has also put his own sorghum wine on the agenda.
He also prepared for a long time for this sake brewing. This is not the same as glutinous rice wine, and it is also different from beer. Although the equipment is procured from China, the brewing process has to be carefully considered.
The first time I got it, I didn't do too much, I only got 100 catties of sorghum.
The preparation process is also very simple, that is, wash first, then soak, and finally steam in the pot. Don't look at only a hundred catties, Liu Heming also used two layers in order to make the steam dissipate well. When steaming, it is not so much to cover the lid and leave it alone, and you have to sprinkle some water to make it more watery.
For the matter of winemaking, Liu Zhaoxiang will complete the guidance work. I've seen people make small burns at home, so I have some experience.
After the steamed sorghum was poured out, Liu Zhaoxiang pinched it with his hands, steamed it thoroughly, and it was steamed and flowered.
Mixing and fermenting koji after cooling is also a technical job. Liu Heming made the koji himself, broke up the koji cakes, sprinkled them evenly on the sorghum, and then stirred carefully.
The fermentation tank was also temporarily obtained, so it was first put in the underground cellar where the mead and glutinous rice wine were made, anyway, now the mead is basically out of production, and the place is idle.
Don't look at it as just a simple job, the two of them have been busy for nearly a morning. The main thing is that they brew and drink it themselves, and they are more careful when they make it.
"Daming, have you smoked those pork legs for enough time? It's been smoked for a long time. Liu Zhaoxiang asked.
"It's almost, I'll take them out in a while, and then hang them to cool for about half a month, and you should be able to eat them. Liu Heming nodded.
He is more confident in these hams than in making sorghum wine, which is made in full accordance with the process given by the system, and the taste is definitely not picky.
didn't wait for the afternoon, seeing that his father was very interested in these hams, Liu Heming took them out in advance. The spinach leaves, which were originally green, are now black and tightly wrapped around the pork legs.
It seems that the water inside is well distributed, and now Liu Heming has brought these pork legs into his hand, which are much lighter than before. The pork legs were hung up and continued to ferment, and he was a little drooling when he saw it.
With everything taken care of here, he came to the fence again.
"Jenny, are they all recovering now?" asked Liu Heming.
"Well, it's a lot better than expected. And we also double-checked some of the animals and were able to loosen them in a few days. Jenny said with a smile.
"Actually, I'm curious why these animals are so honest when they come to your ranch. Even those naughty monkeys are staying here honestly. ”
"I guess I'm still too scared of the outside world, and the animals in the ranch come to visit them every day. Liu Heming quipped.
It's just that there is a little monkey who doesn't give him face, and as soon as he finished speaking, people ran out of the fence, stepped on the fence and jumped on his shoulder, looking around like a monkey.
Liu Heming touched its belly, and pinched its arms and legs, it was not bad, there was already some meat.
"It's the luckiest of all animals. Jenny said.
"I checked the information, and its mother starved to death shortly after giving birth to him, and I thought it would not survive. ”
"It's really fateful, I'll call you Wukong in the future. What about the lions and tigers? And the two bears?" asked Liu Heming, taking off the little monkey and hugging it.
"They've recovered a lot, although I don't know how they survived, and I don't want to explore. In that environment, if you can survive, you can do something out of the ordinary. Jenny said with a dejected expression.
Liu Heming nodded and didn't say anything. These are carnivores, and where is there so much meat over there, you can think about it.
Walking into the enclosure, he opened the cages of the lions, tigers, bears and leopards. It's time for them to come out and move, and in their own pastures, they don't even have the energy to be naughty.
The reason why they have been locked up is to reassure others. After all, even if their physical condition is very poor, they are still beasts.
The body recovered a lot, and now the cage door was open, and the animals also tentatively walked out of the cage.
There are little tigers in the ranch, but the little tigers are big cats in everyone's eyes. The tiger here is a real adult tiger, although the body is still a little thin, after people come out of the cage, they also have the majesty of the tiger family.
But in Liu Heming's eyes, it is also a big cat, so he walked over and carefully pinched their bodies to see what the meat on their bodies looked like.
"Well, it will take at least a little more than a month for them to return to normal. Liu Heming sighed and said.
"It's been recovering very quickly, and we expected it to take at least half a year. Jenny said with a smile.
She was still a little defensive just now, but she was relieved to see that Liu Heming got along so well with these lions and tigers. Even if she is often in contact with these wild animals, she is also a little frightened by lions and tigers.
The little tiger who slipped up to play here and leaned on the fence to look at his companions who looked like him. As if to swear that he was the most favored tiger in this ranch, he howled from the side.
It's just that now it doesn't look fat and strong, its body is still not fully developed, it screams very hard, and jumps and jumps, but it has no deterrent power against these animals in the fence.
seemed to find that his efforts were all in vain, so the little tiger continued to lie on the fence very aggrieved, looking at Liu Heming pitifully, hoping that he could administer justice for himself.
"Haha, Dexter, amused me, why do I feel like the little tigers are like those dogs in your house?" asked Jenny laughing.
"Their behavior has been out of order for a long time. Liu Heming said a little depressed.
"Those dogs often imitate the movements of the little square cat, and the little tiger doesn't just imitate the dog, don't you notice that it looks like a gray wolf when it barks just now? ”
The relationship in the ranch is too harmonious, which should be a good thing, but now the harmony makes them often forget who they are. Where do the little square cats have time to care about the little tiger, a distant relative? Therefore, the best play partner of the little tiger is the family tearing group, and then there is the gray wolf.
It wanted to play with the bear children, but now the bear children have grown up and become a little lazy, and they only work hard when they play with Alex.
Speaking of the bear child, the bear child arrived, and the two of them also swayed and walked over.
There is no harm if there is no comparison, whether it is Xiong Da or Xiong Er, they can fit two bears in the fence, and it will be much easier. They're all big-shouldered bear kids now, and even Tanks rarely wrestle with them now. In the past, they were small enough to bully them, and now tanks are no match for them.
"Open your mouth, I'll see. Liu Heming waved at the bear children and called them to his side.
The bears were a little reluctant, but they still obediently opened their mouths.
"Going to steal watermelons and eat them again?" After touching Xiong Da's face, Liu Heming said helplessly.
The bear grinned and put his front paws on the fence, trying to rub Liu Heming with his head. It's just that now its body is so heavy that it crushes the fence all at once.
Xiong Yan looked at the damage he had caused, and then sat on the side honestly, waiting for Liu Heming to criticize. Xiong Er was more eye-catching, and slipped directly to the side, proving that this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Go ahead, punish you guys for pulling a few more watermelons and giving them a taste for these new friends. After patting Xiong Da's body, Liu Heming made a punitive measure.
Hearing Liu Heming's words, Xiong Da's grievances disappeared, and as soon as he turned around, he ran to the greenhouse as soon as he slipped away.
"Dexter, we've got a request from some volunteers here to take care of the animals. Jenny said.
"But the difference now is the life here, the cost of living on your ranch is too high, and they are still a little unaffordable. ”
"It's okay, let them come. You don't have to go to the restaurant to eat, even if it's ordinary food, we do a great job on the ranch. Liu Heming thought for a while and said.
"You can let them go to the food court and stay at the motel. And they need to squeeze in, after all, there are many tourists who come to the ranch to play now. ”
"When the weather gets warmer, we will build some houses in the pasture for future workers and their use." In the future, the zoo in the ranch can continue to recruit some volunteers, and if they save their salaries, they should be subsidized. ”
"Okay, I'll contact them, and I expect to be on the ranch in three or four days. Jenny said cheerfully.
If it was an ordinary place, she would be able to call the shots directly. Because there are so many animals here, they can't take care of them alone.
However, the situation is different here, and the food in the pastures is much higher than in the rest of the country. For these volunteers, it is really unbearable.
A meal is at least a few dozen dollars, and if you want to enjoy it, you can spend hundreds of dollars, where can these people afford it.
"But the call for these volunteers also needs to be carefully reviewed, and we need people who really care about animals, not let them come and play. Liu Heming said again.
"You can rest assured that most of the people who come here are people who have been involved in many of our rescue activities. Jenny nodded.
