【Chapter 064】 Central Grassland
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Different from Qingling Mountain, the vegetation in the Jinghu Valley is mostly grass species and low shrubs, and the occasional one or two large trees also grow crookedly, which is very abrupt.
After the beginning of autumn, the wildflowers that were originally blooming all over the mountains slowly withered, and only a few Gesang flowers were left swaying in the wind, which looked even more graceful. Summer is the most beautiful season of the grassland, when the whole grassland is a world of flowers, bringing people incomparable visual enjoyment.
In the tourism planning of Jinghu Company, summer grassland flower viewing and horseback riding projects have been listed as a key point, and will be grandly launched in May next year. Therefore, in the planning of Jinghu Ranch, the planting area of space forage will not cover all the original grassland, but leave enough area, which can not only maintain the original vegetation and scenery, but also increase tourism resources for Jinghu Company.
The grass species in the alpine meadows are generally not high, so Xiao Feng's vision is quite broad, and he can see various conditions on the surrounding dams and gentle slopes.
On the hillside in the distance, several groundhogs emerged from the cave, and when they saw Xiao Feng approaching, they did not dodge, but stared at these unlucky guests who broke into the grassland with big eyes.
A little groundhog had no sense of crisis, and came out from behind his parents and ran towards Xiao Feng like a small furball. The little groundhog's actions immediately frightened its parents, and they pulled and arched the little guy back into the cave, and then lay down at the mouth of the cave to watch Xiao Feng's actions.
Although Xiao Feng didn't seem to be threatening, the several big dogs around him were a great threat to the groundhogs, and this innate fear made them choose to avoid it.
The cute movements of several marmots made Xiao Feng laugh, and he hurriedly took a set of photos with the SLR camera hanging around his neck before leaving.
Since returning to Ginkgo Village, in addition to working, most of Xiao Feng will carry this camera on his back, take pictures of the beautiful scenery, food and various animals he has seen, and then go to the Ginkgo Village section of the Tianya Forum.
In a sense, Xiao Feng is the main propagandist of Ginkgo Village.
The Jinghu Valley is a typical highland grassland, where the land is extremely barren and the harsh climate makes the grass species in the valley low, hard, and not suitable for raising too delicate livestock. Xiao Feng took the grass seeds from the Jinghu Valley to Spring City to test, and the nutritional value of these grass seeds was only one-third of that of ordinary alfalfa grass, and there was a huge gap between them and space forage grass.
For a long time, the villagers of Ginkgo Village could only use the natural grassland in the Jinghu Valley to raise highly adaptable black goats and plateau yaks in western Yunnan, and the yield rate was not high.
Xiao Feng decided to open up the Jinghu Valley to build a world-class milk source, and the goal was to transform the area suitable for grazing and plant high-quality forage grass after the transformation of the purple bamboo space.
Xiao Feng entered the depths of the Jinghu Valley today, just to have an intuitive understanding of the general situation of the valley, so that he could have a good idea of the future planning of the Jinghu Ranch.
Of course, the so-called investigation is more of a disguise, and Xiao Feng's biggest purpose is to go around the Jinghu Valley and enjoy the delicious food of the picnic.
Xiao Feng and his entourage were walking along a sunny slope towards the depths of the Mirror Lake Valley, and at this time, the big flower, which had been quiet, suddenly barked at the sky with white clouds and black soil.
This situation suddenly startled Xiao Feng, and he hurriedly looked around to see what had appeared in Dahua, who was so nervous.
Xiao Feng looked around, and now the grassland is clear at a glance, and he can't even see the shadow of a rabbit, what does the big flower call at the sky?
Heavenly?!
As soon as Xiao Feng thought of this, he subconsciously looked up!
I saw that on the blue sky, two black dots were slowly moving, but because they were too far away, even if Xiao Feng's vision had reached 2.o now, he still couldn't see what it was?
However, judging from Xiao Feng's experience of living in Ginkgo Village, most of the two black spots that were flying were birds of prey such as eagles and harriers, otherwise Dahua's reaction would not have been so fierce.
When I was a child, the birds of prey in Qingling Mountain and Biluo Snow Mountain often went to Ginkgo Village, catching a chicken or a sheep from time to time, which made the villagers hate it.
In previous years, perhaps due to habitat destruction and human hunting, there were fewer and fewer birds of prey in Ginkgo Village, and in Xiao Feng's memory, they had not seen them for several years.
Now, just two kilometers into the Jinghu Valley, you can see two birds of prey, which is enough to prove that the current environment has gradually recovered.
Remembering that the protagonists in the novel all use birds of prey such as golden eagles as pets, Xiao Feng is also extremely envious, and now seeing the two birds of prey flying in the sky, Xiao Feng is also moved.
"Xiao Qiang, how about we make a golden eagle a pet?" Xiao Feng pointed to the black dot that was dancing in the sky, and turned his head to ask Xiao Qiang.
The remnants of the Himalayas are home to a large number of golden eagles, both tourists and locals alike have seen them, but very few people have been able to get close to this noble and glamorous species, let alone treat it as a pet.
In the past, the Tusi of the plateau and western Yunnan have always regarded the possession of a golden eagle as a status symbol, and the status of the golden eagle is even higher than that of slaves and even ordinary civilians.
"Get a golden eagle?!" Xiao Qiang reached out to Xiao Feng's head and asked suspiciously: "Brother, are you burned, it's not easy to treat a golden eagle as a pet!"
Xiao Qiang, who has lived in Ginkgo Village since he was a child, naturally knows some common sense about golden eagles, and knows that training birds of prey generally starts from a young age, and the adult golden eagles have a proud temperament, and will not surrender to humans at all, and there is no possibility of domestication.
Domesticating a bird of prey requires getting its chicks, feeding and establishing a deep affection from an early age, and then going through a lot of training to be able to reach the fingers and eventually become a qualified falcon. Generally speaking, the nests of golden eagles, harriers, and eagles are either deep in the mountains and forests, or on the cliffs, and it is not easy to get their chicks.
Anyway, based on what Xiao Qiang has seen over the years, there are only two or three old hunters in the entire Ginkgo Village who have goshawks and other small birds of prey to act as falcons, and others dare not think about this matter, because the difficulty is too high.
"Uncle Nine, this matter is not easy to do!" Xiao Dazhi, who was on the side, also shook his head, poured cold water on Xiao Feng, and said, "Let's leave quickly, and find a suitable place to eat at noon in a while!"
Although Xiao Feng's actions in Ginkgo Village these days have opened Xiao Dazhi's eyes and made him proud, Xiao Dazhi doesn't think that Xiao Feng can treat the golden eagle as a pet. Now Xiao Dazhi's mind is full of the delicious roasted hare, so he won't pay attention to Xiao Feng's so-called thoughts.
Seeing that Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi were not optimistic about their own ideas, Xiao Feng didn't say anything, and just left, but he held back a fire in his heart, and really wanted to get a golden eagle back.
If Xiao Feng just mentioned it casually just now, the current Xiao Feng really regards the golden eagle as an important topic in the future, but this matter is a little troublesome and needs to be considered in the long run. Xiao Feng was already imagining that when he got a golden eagle back, he wanted to see the stunned reactions of the two guys.
Compared with the forests of Qingling Mountain, the grasslands in the Jinghu Valley were much easier to walk, and Xiao Feng and his party had already penetrated about ten kilometers into the hinterland of the valley in only three hours. It is already the central location of the Mirror Lake Valley, and its east-west width reaches 1o kilometers, forming a huge grassland with an area of 3o square kilometers.
Composed of the valley floor plain and the gentle slopes around it, this grassland is the essence of the entire Jinghu Valley, which is also the core location of the Jinghu Ranch planned by Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng plans to plant all the high-quality pastures from Zizhu Space on this grassland, which is also a key step for Jinghu Ranch to build a world-class milk source.
According to the international standard that one acre of grassland can carry 3 cows, this 10,000-acre central pasture can accommodate 30,000 cows.
However, if you want to transform this grassland, the amount of labor, money and materials required is a huge amount, and the current Jinghu Ranch really has no spare power. Now, Xiao Feng can only hope that Ma Wanli can build the framework of the Mirror Lake Ranch as much as possible, starting from the entrance of the valley, and expanding the pasture to the central grassland in the shortest possible time.
After browsing the situation in the central grassland, Xiao Feng and his party first found a suitable place by a small stream and began to prepare lunch.
Xiao Qiang quickly took out the marching pot from his backpack and began to use the stream water to wash rice for cooking. The streams in the Jinghu Valley are all formed by meltwater from the nearby snow-capped mountains, which is cold to the bone, but these streams are unpolluted and much better than the so-called mineral water, and it tastes great for cooking.
As for Xiao Feng and Xiao Dazhi, they were busy skinning and cleaning the hares harvested all the way from Dahua, and the roast rabbits that were charred on the outside and tender on the inside would be freshly baked in a while.
In the Jinghu Valley, due to the environment and relatively few natural enemies, the number of hares is more than that on Qingling Mountain, and there is no need for Xiao Feng to command along the way, Dahua grabbed several rabbits with white clouds and black soil.
The picnic was not a difficult thing for Xiao Feng and his party, and it only took them an hour to get it. After enjoying the roasted hare and mushroom soup, the three guys, who had eaten a little bit, lay on the grass without any image, basking in the sun and bragging nonsense.
Putting aside all kinds of life and work pressures, lying among the flowers and looking at the blue sky like jewels and marshmallow-like white clouds on such a lazy afternoon is actually a great enjoyment of life!
