From the camping area, the film crew began to divide into three groups, following the actions of father, mother and children, each performing their duties in an orderly manner.
The place where the dads complete their mission is in the stable, which is also home to the Ranch Medical Management Center, which specializes in providing various medical services to the ranch's hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses!
There is a proverb in the farmhouse: 'A family with a lot of money, with hair does not count'!
This sentence is enough to prove the huge potential risks faced by the breeding industry, so at the beginning of the establishment of pastures and farms, Xiao Feng attached great importance to the construction of animal husbandry and medical care.
The reason why the Xiao family was able to survive and have great prestige in a minority settlement like Northwest Yunnan where they were unfamiliar with the land and the people were fierce was that in addition to the ability to cure diseases and save people, the horse gang created by the ancestors of the Xiao family also played an extremely key role.
In the hundreds of years of operation, the Xiao family has summarized a large amount of animal husbandry and medical knowledge, although these knowledge reserves have little effect in the construction of large-scale pastures, but also laid a conceptual foundation.
With this understanding, Xiao Feng has never been stingy in his investment in the Animal Husbandry Medical Center, not only introducing expensive advanced equipment, but also employing a group of high-quality ranch medical talents who returned from studying abroad through the relationship of Guò Ma Wanli.
So far, the investment of the entire medical center has exceeded 100 million, making it the largest and most advanced animal medical center in China.
In addition to the great role of the 'Space Spiritual Spring' and the 'Space Forage', the scientific measures provided by the medical center have also played a crucial role in the leap forward in the past three years.
So much so that in the eyes of the outside world, the medical center is one of the core competitiveness of the ranch.
Even the four fathers who are well-informed and come to the modern medical center, and then look at the cattle, sheep and horses coming and going, there is a sense of time and space.
Under Xiao Feng's leadership, everyone soon arrived at the stables and prepared to start work.
In order to provide enough animal power for the work on the ranch and to facilitate the riding of cowboys, nearly 500 horses were kept in the stables for pasture horses; At the same time, the number of horses used for tourism in the 'Jinghu Scenic Area' is also nearly 200, which is equivalent to a reinforced cavalry battalion.
Among these horses, the one that was specially used to ride was the Ranch Quart, who came from across the ocean, was tall and tame, and was a loyal companion of the ranch cowboy; In addition, the southern Yunnan pony, which is native to southwest China, has a tough personality and strong weight-bearing capacity, which is the best source of animal power.
Today, the dads are tasked with helping 10 horses change their horseshoes, which are usually done by the cowboys themselves, and today they will be on the side to provide technical guidance.
"Xiaofeng, will they kick people?" Xiao Zhi stood in front of the stable fearfully, a little hesitant.
You must know that some adult quartemas have a staggering 180cm in height at the shoulders and weigh hundreds of kilograms, and if they kick someone, it will probably be a human tragedy.
"Don't worry, these quarthorses are domesticated and docile!" Xiao Feng waved his hand and said with a smile: "When nailing the horseshoe, it will also be surrounded by railings, they are no threat to us!" ”
As a rancher, Xiao Feng's skills in nailing horseshoes are not bad, he goes to the ranch to help from time to time, and even some senior cowboys give him a thumbs up.
Therefore, with Xiao Feng on his side, there is no need to worry about Quarter Ma getting out of control.
Hearing Xiao Feng say this, the other fathers relieved themselves and followed Xiao Feng into the stable, looking up at these horses taller than themselves.
Compared with the dry fur and dirty image of the horses used for riding and taking photos in some scenic spots, the horses used for riding in the 'Jinghu Ranch' are shiny and radiant, which makes people feel good at a glance.
To nail the horseshoe, you must first remove the old horse's shoe, and then treat the cuticle of the horse's hooves accordingly, and then put on a new horse's shoe, and nail it.
While the procedure sounds simple, it's a real problem for several other dads. After all, a horse is not a cold machine, it has its own emotions, reactions, and there are many things that need to be noticed in the process of nailing the horseshoe.
Fortunately, with Xiao Feng's patient demonstration, the dads gradually mastered the technical essentials and slowly got started.
…………
The mothers' job is much easier, after all, the pregnant cows are kept in the pen, and they only need to add forage, concentrate and various additives to the cows one by one according to the list given by the staff.
Unlike the dirty, messy, sewage-filled cattle pens in the image of the farm, the cattle pens at Jinghu Ranch are automatically cleaned every day without the slightest smell, which makes it difficult for mothers born in the city to overcome psychological difficulties.
At present, there are more than 30,000 breeding cattle in Jinghu Ranch, and about 100 cows are born every day. After two large-scale introductions, Mirror Lake Ranch has become self-sufficient and no longer needs to purchase breeding cattle.
When the mothers were taking care of the cows, they also happened to meet a few cows in the spring, and the licking cows made the mothers feel the same way, and there were no complaints about some hard work.
…………
Compared with the blandness of their parents, the children's table in the sheepfold is for everyone to watch directly, and the biggest highlight of the show is on the children, which is a wise decision.
Stone is seven years old, Butterfly is six years old, Nini is four years old, Tian Niu and Heimi are all three years old, and this combination goes to the sheepfold to catch sheep, although the object is a little lamb, but it also makes a few little ones scramble.
After all, they have small arms and legs, and the little lamb can't catch up when they run in a hurry, and even if they catch the lamb, it will take a lot of effort to hold it.
If it was changed to when the show first started filming, a few dolls would have been scared to look at the lambs running around the ground, but now they can't.
Under the leadership of the stone team leader, the children chased and intercepted the lamb, and even Tian Niu, who loved cleanliness the most, didn't care about the lamb's feces staining her clothes, and hugged the lamb's neck.
With the cooperation of the dolls, they quickly grabbed the one-month-old lambs and placed them in the small sheepfold next to them, so that the farm staff could inject them.
Watching the sheep baa obediently giving injections, all the children showed bright smiles, even if their faces were dirty in the east and west, they could still feel their happiness from the heart.
In the last period of time when the children were still catching sheep, the fathers and mothers had completed their respective tasks, standing outside the sheepfold and looking at their baby's table, and the feeling of relief arose.
If you are in the city, no one will let your children be exposed to these tasks, but no one can deny that it is these tasks that train children to be strong and independent.
Everyone can see that since participating in the show, the children's growth is very obvious, which is the biggest harvest for moms and dads!
When the children completed their tasks, ran to their parents, and shared their happiness with them, the atmosphere of the scene became warm, and the joy was undoubtedly displayed on everyone's faces.
However, whenever this kind of warm moment, the village chief Li Rui will jump out to destroy the atmosphere!
No, just when the five families were excited, this guy started to release tasks again, which made people hate it.
"Today, the program team has prepared all kinds of ingredients for everyone, and everyone can make lunch when they return to the tent area!" The good news brought by Li Rui did not make everyone cheer, because everyone knew that the next turning point was the most critical.
"But ......" Sure enough, the village chief said after a long voice: "Xiaofeng and Mengyao can't help, the other four pairs of parents have to cooperate to complete today's lunch!" ”
This time, there was a wail!
In the process of recording the show, Xiao Feng's almighty father played a huge role in it, and the other fathers were used to Xiao Feng's storage, and now when they heard that Xiao Feng couldn't help this time, they suddenly felt a feeling of helplessness.
"Village Chief, what are we going to do?" Xiao Feng, who was excluded from the cooking team, hurriedly raised his hand and asked.
"It's good that you just watch from the sidelines, and you can't give instructions out loud!" The village chief did not assign tasks to Xiao Feng and his wife, but he was also restricted from giving guidance from the field.
Hearing such harsh conditions, the other fathers could only resign themselves to their fate and began to walk towards the camping area, discussing the details of the division of labor to be met as they walked, this time it was a big test.
Yes, there is nothing to do with Xiao Feng this time, and under the strict supervision of the program team, he can only stay away from the parents who are cooking, and play with the children on the lawn.
After a few episodes of the show, Xiao Feng has become the most popular object of children, because he likes to play with children and can do all kinds of tricks.
He took the children to the nearby hill to ski on the grass and slid down the high slope, and the children's screams and laughter resounded throughout the camp.
The photographers had no choice but to split up on the one hand, filming the parents making a zuò lunch while filming the children's joyful scenes, which may be what the audience is interested in.
At half past twelve, with the cooperation of four pairs of parents, a sumptuous lunch was finally freshly baked, and Xiao Feng also enjoyed it for the first time, which felt good.
After washing the little hands and faces with the children, under the huge awning, five groups of families gathered together and started a meaningful lunch.
It seems to be an illusion, after working on the ranch, even the lunch has become extraordinarily delicious, especially the children are already hungry one by one, and they eat so happily that even the film crew and media reporters next to them are deeply affected and keep swallowing saliva!
The May pasture is at its most beautiful, with colorful flowers covering the green pasture like a huge carpet, and the breeze blowing, and the air seems to be filled with a romantic smell.
On the vast grassland, with snow-capped mountains, blue sky, and white clouds, eating in such an environment, even the amount of food has increased a lot, which feels wonderful!
