Chapter Seventy-Seven: Cutting Nails and Picking Ears

"Fatty, you really don't understand, every year in spring, the antlers of the sika deer have to fall off once, and then grow new, and the antlers that grow can be cut."

The old revolutionary said happily to the fat man, saying that the fat man was sweating all over his head, he really didn't understand.

"You can raise sika deer with a mallet, I really don't know what you think." The old revolution was very dissatisfied.

"Hehe, isn't there an old man for you to help now?" The fat man also felt a little embarrassed, originally thought that only a small deer that had not grown horns could give birth to antlers, but it turned out that the big male deer also became a deer.

"After two days, all the antlers of these guys will be gone, and these antlers will be kept, although they are not as good as the antlers, but they can be sold for more or less money." The old revolutionary gave a few more words.

At this time, Qiqi suddenly pointed to a deer and shouted: "Sister Xiaoyu, look, the top of the little little head is starting to bulge." ”

The fat man also looked over, and saw that the half-big male deer called by Qiqi had two tiny protrusions on the top of his head, and it seemed that he was about to grow horns.

"Fatty, you have a total of eight male deer, two of which are less than a year old, so there are six sika deer that can produce velvet, if you cut two stubbles, the harvest should be good." The old revolution turned around and made the above conclusion to the fat man.

"Grandpa Sun, can you not cut the antlers?" Kiki looked up with a small face, and his big watery eyes were full of begging.

The old revolutionary was unmoved: "Little girl, do you cut your nails?" ”

Seeing Kiki nodding, the old revolutionary continued: "Cutting deer antler velvet is almost the same as cutting nails. ”

Xiao Qiqi is not easy to fool, she blinked her eyes for a long time: "Will the fawn hurt?" ”

"Not usually, but it definitely hurts a little bit for the first time you cut the mushroom, and it won't hurt too much, just take a small cut on your little finger."

"Grandpa Sun, you can't lie to people, right?" Kiki was a little unconvinced.

"It's better than killing the sika deer, then skinning, eating meat, and cutting the mushrooms!" The old revolutionary didn't want to continue to stick to her, so he began to be ruthless.

Qiqi was really frightened by this more serious consequence, and felt that cutting deer antler velvet was acceptable, so he stopped squeaking. The fat man quietly raised his big finger to the old revolutionary: worthy of being an old-timer, there is really a way, this is called the lesser of two evils, and even the most difficult Qiqi has to give in.

The commotion of the deer herd made the Xiangxiang next to them also a little uneasy, the family of three was far away, and even the Xiangxiang princess, who usually always walked into the deer pen, also ran back obediently, and in two or three months, the little guy also grew a lot.

"Fatty, when are you going to kill this roe deer? The best time is July and August, when the musk is at its fullest. "The old revolutionary pointed to the incense with his hand.

"Can't be killed!" Qiqi was really anxious this time, and his impression of the old revolution took a sharp turn for the worse, if he hadn't had a lot of fun catching thieves yesterday, he would probably have called him "bad grandpa".

"No need to kill." The fat man finally found a little self-confidence, and the old revolution would only kill chickens and take eggs, and he had not yet mastered the advanced methods of the fat man. There's no way, science and technology are always advancing, not to mention that the fat man lives in an era of information expansion, so there's nothing to be proud of being ahead of a little knowledge.

"How can you get musk without killing?" The old revolutionary's face was full of doubts.

"Of course, there is a way, take it out from the inside of the sachet, as long as the musk inside does not destroy the sachet, and slowly the musk can be born again, which is similar to cutting deer antler velvet." The fat man even said with a gesture, and he said it head-to-head.

The old revolutionary twisted two eyebrows: "Fatty, can you tell me specifically?" ”

The fat man scratched his head, he only had theory but not practice, and he held back for a long time before saying: "Old stationmaster, you just said that cutting deer antler velvet is like cutting nails." This live musk incense is a bit like picking your ears with an ear picker. ”

"Maybe it can be done." The old revolutionary's eyes lit up: "Fatty, what tools do you need, prepare it immediately, let's try it first." ”

This old man is really a doer, just do it, but the fat man has his own plans: "Not yet, after Xiangxiang is completely not afraid of people, it's not too late to do it, besides, this is about to start spring, I still want to expand their team, what if you take out the musk, what if Xiangxiang is not attractive?" ”

"It turns out that your kid is not a mallet, I keep an eye on the point, after they mate, we will start." The old revolution was eager to try.

"Sister Xiaoyu, let's go back. Uncle Blame and Grandpa Sun always have bad ideas, and we ignore them. Kiki finally couldn't take it anymore and pulled his big pigtails and walked back.

The fat man and the old revolutionary glanced at each other: "We are the most benevolent, Qiqi you should understand that killing pigs to eat meat, raising chickens to lay eggs, raising deer is to cut mushrooms, raising musk deer is to make incense, you should learn to accept reality." ”

Kiki turned around, sniffled his little nose and grimaced, and then ran away, it seemed that the little guy still had a pimple in his heart, but he could barely accept it.

The fat man smacked his lips, and then said to the old revolutionary: "Do we have a good way to take this?" ”

The old revolutionary looked confused, his thinking was still very different from that of the fat man, and it would take some time to change.

In the days that followed, while Kiki was still in school, the fat man would take the deer out of the fence and graze them on the hillside. According to the experience of the old revolution, the deer pen is still a bit small, so it is best to use free-range breeding to give sika deer enough space to move in order to grow healthily.

But it's a bit risky: sika deer are known for their speed, and if they spread their hooves and run for their lives, who can catch them? Anyway, the old revolution can't catch up.

The fat man is not worried at all, he has long had this plan, but in the winter, there is ice and snow everywhere, and it is not suitable for herding deer, and now the ice and snow are beginning to melt, and it is time to come.

He has always had a kind of "harmony between nature and man", and the same is true for animals, and it is best to let them grow in their natural state - in other words, it is more economical to save money, and how much feed do you get a year when you are locked in a fence and eat and chew to death?

In the fat man's plan, in the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, it is best to ask these guys to find food for themselves, whether it is sika deer or roe deer or those chickens and geese.

The old revolutionary said that he had the means to train chickens and geese, and that he had put it into action; This sika deer and the fragrant roe deer have to depend on Qiqi's ability, only she can tame these guys now.

Little Kiki also lived up to expectations and led the deer herd around. Later, I got a little tired of it, so I simply rode on a big stag and walked around. The second pillar is like a small follower, following on the ground. At first, the fat man was afraid that Qiqi was in danger, but when he saw that the stag was honest and didn't run at all, he was relieved.

Erzhuzi looked greedy, and also wanted to catch one and try it, he had ridden a horse, ridden a cow, and really never ridden a deer.

But the sika deer didn't buy it, so he didn't let him get close at all, and the second pillar could only look at the little Qiqi on the back of the deer and clicked his mouth: "Why is this sika deer still picking people?" ”

There is also a fat man who is also envious, but he is not embarrassed to try at all: just this body, you have to press the sika deer down, people, it is important to know yourself.

With Kiki's help, the deer herd was gradually taken over by Erzhuzi, and he was able to graze the deer independently, and he was able to drive the deer back to the deer pen safely at night.

That night, the fat man was happily cooking with the big pigtails, ready to treat everyone, when suddenly Captain Li walked in with a group of uninvited guests.
