There was a rabbit on the saddle, and Lu Xiancheng rode the furnace dust with Erha and loaches to Professor Xu's small ranch.

When the grass was first grown, Professor Xu and Professor Wen applied to each county to rent more than 60 acres of land to plant grass and run their own small pasture.

It's not appropriate to say that it's a business, the two old men just do it as a fun, raise some sheep and cows are also based on their own food, and now there are some chickens, ducks and geese, and when it comes to breeds, it is much richer than Lu Xiancheng Ranch.

Of course, as soon as the small ranch was built, first of all, the accommodation treatment of these students who followed the professor was also a lot better, and the simple prefabricated houses that said goodbye to each other are now large tiled houses for two people, and the two old professors themselves live in Lu Xiancheng's 'design' drawings, American-style villas.

The layout of the ranch is also absorbed in the American style, as soon as you enter the door is the house, behind which is a pasture with livestock, in addition to the forage storehouse agricultural machinery shed or something.

After entering the pasture, Lu Xiancheng dismounted, put the dust on the bolt horse pile in front of the house, and then took the two rabbits from the saddle and lifted them to his hand.

The graduate student who stayed in the room heard the neighing of a horse, so he got out of the house, and after seeing that it was Lu Xiancheng, he asked with a smile: "Boss, are you here to find our boss?" ”。

The word boss was spit out of the mouth of the female graduate student, which suddenly made Lu Xiancheng feel like he had returned to his previous life to accompany customers to nightclubs, and those princesses called everyone the boss, of course, in addition to the name of Miss, the reputation of the princess also began to be almost ruined by this society.

Shaking his head slightly, this ridiculous thought was swept out of his mind, and Lu Xiancheng asked, "Well, is Professor Xu here?" ”。

"Our boss went to help Mr. Shen's ranch," the female graduate student said, pointing to the southwest of the ranch.

"Over there?" Lu Xiancheng still didn't know which piece of land the Shen family's ranch was painted on.

The current pastures are all painted on wasteland, not to say that the cultivated land is protected or not, but the cultivated land here is not protected like birds, and it is impossible to grow good crops.

It's not that the Shen family doesn't want to draw close. Instead, the land where they now grow crops is made of chemical fertilizer, and it is difficult for the grass to grow in this kind of land that uses chemical fertilizer, so it is better to plant grass directly on the wasteland.

According to the results of Professor Wen's research experiments, if the cultivated land wants to be planted with pasture grass, it will take at least three years to abandon the land, during which time it will be necessary to use the natural restoration of the soil strength of the slabs.

So in this way, the Shen family's ranch is drawn a little far away from the village.

"Well, to the west of Professor Wen's ranch. You can see it when you walk along the river," said the female graduate student.

Lu Xiancheng stepped forward after hearing this, and put the rabbit in his hand to her side: "It's a meal for you in the evening."

When the female graduate student looked at the two rabbits, she was still furry and suddenly said, "I won't get it, they all went out with the professor."

Lu Xiancheng, who turned around, waved his hand: "I'll go to Professor Xu's side to have a look, and I'll let a boy come back and peel the rabbit later!" ”。

Even if this work is put in the countryside, ordinary village women can't do it, and most of the work like skinning is done by the old men.

Untying the reins of the furnace dust, Lu Xiancheng stepped on the horse's back, lightly pinched the horse's belly, and then opened his four hooves and ran towards the door.

The female graduate student saw that Lu Xiancheng was leaving. Suddenly said loudly: "Can you let Zhang Yan come back?" ”。

Lu Xiancheng turned his head and smiled at this man when he heard this: "I'll try my best!" ”。

According to what the female graduate student said, Lu Xiancheng quickly came to the ranch that was granted to the Shen family.

Now the ranch is preliminarily drawn, and when Lu Xiancheng passed by, he only saw the branches hanging with red cloth heads as boundary posts. The Shen family ranch is facing the small ranch of Professor Wen's family on one side, on one side is the ranch of Hewan and Lu Xiancheng, and on the other side is a small earthen ridge.

There are a lot of people in the ranch now. Two student-looking people were arranging their tools on one side, while two huge Shire horses, about 1.85 meters tall at the shoulder, were dragging plows in the center of the pasture.

The so-called plough is a rectangular wooden frame. There are a lot of 20 cm cast iron teeth standing up on one side of the shelf, and when it is used, the cast iron teeth are pressed into the ground, and then the whole plough is pulled horizontally by livestock, and now the two horses pull half of each side and drag back and forth.

If you need to be hard, you can find a few young people to stand on the plough to increase the weight, so that the teeth of the plough can bite into the ground more easily.

In this way, the plough left a small furrow about 10 centimeters deep. You can sprinkle the grass seeds like this, and then just cover them with your feet and pour some water into the ground.

The method is simple, but it is far less efficient with an average ox than with two Shire horses, which together can easily carry six or seven tons of things. Not only is the size of the plough twice as large as that of the average rural plow, but the wood used to make the plough is also directly a 30-centimeter trunk, which is more than three times heavier than the plough used in the general rural area.

The two Shire horses were much more energetic than the average ploughing ox.

"Why did you come here today?" Professor Xu saw Lu Xiancheng riding over on horseback, and greeted him with a smile.

He walked to the horse's head and reached out and grabbed the cheek strap on his side, and the fire stood still.

Lu Xiancheng threw off the horse, took the reins in his hand and said, "Send you two rabbits to taste."

Speaking of this, I remembered what the female graduate student said just now, and opened my mouth again: "Who is Zhang Yan here?" If it's all right, let him go back and peel the rabbits."

When Professor Xu heard this, he turned around and said to a boy standing on the plow: "Zhang Yan! ”。

Seeing the boy look at him, he waved his hand: "You don't have to stay here, hurry home and peel and wash the two rabbits sent by Boss Lu, and everyone eats rabbit meat at night."

The young man named Zhang Yan and his family immediately jumped off the plow, and then as soon as they saw that the seat was empty, two students who were handling farm tools immediately rushed to stand on the plow.

Professor Xu didn't care how his students made a fuss, and asked Lu Xiancheng, "The harvest is good, how did you get two rabbits at once?" Shot? ”。

"What kind of gun, Erha caught it in the grass of the pasture" Lu Xiancheng took out a cigar from his pocket, knowing that Professor Xu didn't smoke it, he took a puff: "I have to catch it every morning and evening for the past few days, at least one more than two." It's been going on for four or five days, and that's all meat every day."

When Professor Xu heard this, he asked, "There are so many rabbits in your ranch?" ”。

"Yes! I don't know how, anyway, every time it takes four or five hours, Erha can catch one back," Lu Xiancheng said with a smile.

Professor Xu looked at Lu Xiancheng: "You are still laughing, rabbits are not a good thing for the pasture, not only the holes are all over the ground." Too many holes in the ground can be disastrous for ranching. And the breeding is fast, if there are more rabbits, don't raise any cattle and sheep, these rabbits can toss you to death, and Australia has had a rabbit disaster."

After speaking, he thought for a while and said: "I didn't see any rabbits in the ranch last year, why is it only in the middle of March this year, and even the king of heaven can catch rabbits?" ”。

Thinking of this, he said to Professor Wen, who was standing on the plow like an old child: "Old Wen, old Wen! ”。

Hearing Professor Xu call himself, Professor Wen got off the plow. walked up to Lu Xiancheng and Professor Xu and asked, "What's the matter, my side is rushing up?"

"There's rabbits in the big ranch," Professor Xu said.

Professor Wen smiled and said: "What's so strange about rabbits in such a large pasture, it's not that there are no rabbits on the mountain, but now the grass in the pasture grows well, and the rabbits are not stupid and don't eat them, so it's a bad brain."

"Isn't it strange that the Heavenly King has been able to catch one every day for the past few days?" Professor Xu said.

Professor Wen frowned when he heard this: "This is indeed a problem!" Even he can catch rabbits every day, which proves that there are a lot of rabbits in the ranch! Is this a prelude to disaster? Or are the rabbits moving to the ranch from all over the world? ”。

Last year, the hare was not too new, but it was not caught every day. It's that the people in the village caught it, if it weren't for the midsummer, their own families would not be willing to eat it themselves, and most of them were taken to the town to exchange for some money or oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Now Lu Xiancheng eats every day here. It turns out that stupid dogs can catch two a day, and in Professor Wen's opinion, this can indirectly prove how many rabbits there are in the ranch now.

"Disaster?" Lu Xiancheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and he didn't worry too much about the problem of the rabbit disaster in his ranch at all.

If you put it in the United States, Australia, these hypocritical capitalist countries, the rabbit can still become a disaster, in front of the people of my big foodie empire, as long as there is not a table with four legs, all of them are paper tigers!

You don't see the crayfish that were still common in the gully canal a few years ago, after being served on the table. Soon, in just a few years, there were hardly many wild lobsters to be seen, and all the lobsters on the table were farmed.

"Why don't you call everyone into the ranch to catch rabbits?" Professor Wen thought about it for a long time and didn't have any good ideas, so he only came up with this idea.

"Whoever wants to eat rabbits can catch them, just call for them," Lu Xiancheng said with a smile.

After speaking, Lu Xiancheng asked the two professors, "How big is the ranch that Old Man Shen is here to apply for?" ”。

"How old can he and his wife take care of? That's less than 70 acres! I guess I can raise about 300 sheep," Professor Wen said.

"By the way, why do you want everyone to prepare so many seeds? Even if it were planted in the outer mountains, it would not be so much," Professor Wen said.

Lu Xiancheng listened to Professor Wen's words and smiled: "This is too much? It doesn't take a few months. The seeds in your hands will be snatched up, and when the time comes, they will be sold a little more expensive, at least the cost will be deducted, and then everyone will have to invest in research, how can you make less money, and how many seeds can be made."

Regarding Lu Xiancheng's thoughts, Professor Wen never felt that he had kept up with the rhythm, so he had to nod and say, "I remember this thing."

Although the research on the new forage has been completed, but the matter is not over, Lu Xiancheng decided to continue to invest money in the two professors, so that they can take the students to continue to improve the pasture, of course, including planting some trees in the pasture to build the ecological circle of the pasture.

In a word, you can't take money for nothing and have something to do. (To be continued.) )
