Chapter Forty-Eight: Cattle and Sheep Enter
The next day, Qin Xiuwu was woken up by the sound of chickens, which made him a little strange, there were no chickens in his pasture, where did the chickens come from.
Qin Xiuwu listened to the sound and ran over to see that a group of chickens, ducks and geese were chaotically grabbing food there, and it was Qin Chengwen who was standing next to them to feed them.
Qin Xiuwu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and ran over to ask, "Where did the chickens and ducks come from in the ranch, I didn't seem to let you buy them, I only went out for a few days, you dare to make your own opinions, is there still me as a rancher in your eyes." All these chickens and ducks are returned to me, or I will pay for them myself. ”
Qin Chengwen glanced at him lightly, his hands around revealing his strong muscles, showing his ability to break through his strength recently. Said viciously, "Why do you have an opinion?" ”
Qin Xiuwu stretched his waist, and there was a crackling Wuji trilling sound in his bones. Rhetorical question: "Why do you have an opinion?" ”
Qin Chengwen's eyes almost bulged out, and he grabbed him and asked, "Damn, you're still not human, I'm just breaking through the strength, you have actually reached the realm of bone refining, and you won't let me live!" Everyone, brother, don't you want to be so sassy? ”
Qin Xiuwu was a little speechless, it seems that you showed off first! He didn't dwell on this matter, and asked rhetorically, "Where did you get the chickens and ducks, I have long wanted to raise a few in the ranch, but unfortunately I haven't had time to buy them, big brother, you have helped me a lot." ”
Qin Chengwen smiled proudly and said, "I bought it when I went back to town." Specially selected local chickens, ducks, big white geese, and even bought a few local pigs. Do you miss the old hen soup that your grandfather made for you when you were a child, and do you really want the iron pot to rely on the taste of the goose? How can we do without these local chickens and ducks that grow in the countryside? ”
Qin Xiuwu nodded approvingly. Now due to the progress of science and technology, the society pays attention to efficiency, chickens and ducks are fed with feed, and the output is improved, but the taste is by no means as delicious as the chickens and ducks fed with grain.
The current local specialty is made of local chicken and duck, or where else can you make that kind of deliciousness.
But in the past, where did he have a place to breed in the city, but now he has bought a pasture, and there is a place for raising local chickens and ducks.
After raising the chickens and ducks, I made those delicious dishes with my own hands, and it was absolutely refreshing to eat.
When he saw the earth pig he bought, his eyes widened even more, this was the Yimeng black pig.
Native pigs, also known as local pigs, are a general term for pig breeds produced in China, which is a name that distinguishes them from foreign imported pigs. Therefore, there are not many types of native pigs. And Qin Xiuwu grew up in the Yimeng Mountains, and what he usually sees is the Yimeng black pig, and the most emotional and fragrant one is also the Yimeng black pig. It has the characteristics of resistance to extensive feeding, good meat quality, high slaughter rate, etc., and is good in native pigs.
There are not many chickens and ducks that Qin Chengwen bought, and they are not reliable when placed on the side of the villa. In the summer, chicken and duck manure is enough to fill the entire villa.
So Qin Xiuwu thought for a moment and moved the chicken and duck to the south of the lake, near the river. That is, on the opposite side of the villa.
The construction of the chicken shed and duck shed is the easiest, Qin Xiuwu took a few people, and it was completed in just one morning, and then they got all the chickens, ducks, geese and earth pigs.
The chicken shed is built far away from the river, and the local chickens can leave the chicken shed during the day and look for grass seeds, grasshoppers, earthworms and other food. It not only reduces the trouble of artificial feeding, but also makes the wild free-range chickens more delicious.
The duck shed and goose shed are built closer to the river, and in the summer, ducks and geese can go to the river to find food such as small fish, shrimp, snails, etc. It's a great place for ducks who love the water.
As for the question of the guards, Qin Xiuwu directly kicked the potato chips over, who made this guy only have the boss in his eyes and no master, and he didn't look for anyone to find it.
Then he called Chen Deguang again. Chen Deguang is the sales manager of Chenmei Grass Company. The original intention was to call him to find a arboriculture base, but Chen Deguang introduced that his company also had cultivated tree seedlings and asked him what he needed.
Qin Xiuwu thought for a while and told him that he was going to plant willow trees and poplars.
Qin Xiuwu planned to plant two rows of poplars near the river. This allows livestock to have a cool place during the hottest summer months, and can also play a role in protecting soil erosion.
In the place where the chicken coop was built, he focused on planting a poplar. Not only can the chickens and ducks have a place to enjoy the shade, but also the chicken shed and duck shed can be blocked, so that these things that obstruct the vision disappear from people's field of vision.
As for the willow tree, he was going to be planted on the banks of three lakes. The willow tree has a strong vitality, and it is known that the willow tree can not be opened by planting flowers intentionally, and it can be said that as long as the willow tree is planted, there is no need to worry about its survival.
At the same time, the willow tree has a certain ornamental value, and the peach blossom can be planted to form a peach-red willow green scene, which looks very beautiful.
At the same time, the willow tree is also one of the tools for people to enjoy the shade, especially in the summer afternoon, people go to find a good place to enjoy the shade, at this time the huge willow shade is a unique choice for people.
There are so many benefits that do not plant willow trees to plant anything.
After two days, the breeding sheep and cattle purchased by Qin Xiuwu finally arrived at the pasture.
Different from the careful purchase of breeding cattle, Qin Xiuwu didn't look much when he bought breeding sheep, but only bought small-tailed Han sheep at Batu's suggestion. This is a kind of meat and fur combined sheep breed, which has the characteristics of fast growth, early maturity, strong fecundity, stable performance genetics, and strong adaptability.
There are also the characteristics of multiple litters and multiple lambs, and the fecundity is extremely strong, and a maximum of nine can be born in one litter. Population cultivation is relatively rapid.
In this way, there are thousands of cattle and sheep in the pasture. Among them, there are 2,000 black and white cattle, 50 Simmental cattle, and 4,000 small-tailed Han sheep.
Buying so many cattle at once cost Qin Xiuwu more than 3.9 million yuan, and it also made the entire ranch busy. Fortunately, the cowshed and sheep shed have long been planned by Ge Qianyan for construction, and Qin Xiuwu let the Tianyuan building be completed, so that the cattle and sheep have a place to live, and the cattle and sheep are not allowed to live in the open air.
In the past, it was not without cow sheds and sheep sheds in the pasture, but it was at the foot of the hills, and in the summer, a foul smell wafted into the villa.
It was a location that was chosen fifty or sixty years ago, just to make it easier to take care of the cattle and sheep. Later, Has-Erdun wanted to sell the ranch, so there was no change. But Qin Xiuwu couldn't stand it, so he gave up that place directly.
The cowshed that is now being built is in the southwest of the hills. It's also not far from the river. The approximate location is on both sides of the creek alongside the chicken shed. Just a little further away from the villa.
There, Qin Xiuwu also planted poplars, and one was several rows, and when the poplars grew up, they could cover the cowshed.
In this way, in the summer, the cowshed is in the shade of poplar trees, and the cool and windy environment is a good living environment for the cattle.
In winter, the poplars have lost their leaves, and the warm sunlight can shine on the cowshed, allowing the cattle to enjoy the warm sunshine.
As for the cattle and sheep left before, Qin Xiuwu was directly speechless. Haas Erdun said it well, and gave all the cattle and sheep in the pasture to Qin Xiuwu, but in fact, there were not many cattle and sheep in the pasture. The two kinds of livestock add up to only about 3,000 heads. That's a pitiful amount for a ranch.
And it's not a precious breed, it's just ordinary cattle and sheep, Qin Xiuwu wants to do a good job in this pasture, and those cattle and sheep can only be sold.
Avoid mixing them with these newly purchased breeds of cattle and sheep.
Even if there are more than 100 people in the ranch now, they are a little busy in the face of so many cattle and sheep, and the biggest reason is that these cattle and sheep were only raised in captivity before, and there were no cattle and sheep. Or there may have been a cow or a sheep in the past, but they were kept when they were purchased and not sold to the pasture.
In this way, whenever the cattle and sheep are grazing, they will scatter in all directions, and they will rush over.
Faced with this situation, Qin Xiuwu could only come up with his killer weapon, he selected the cattle and sheep that were stronger in the herd, and put the mineral water mixed with the essence of the earth in front of the cattle and sheep for them to drink.
Among them, he increased the amount of earth essence, which was enough for the usual small falcon. And for his future Air Force, Qin Xiuwu treated the little falcon as his own son. The amount of earth essence is enough to make the little Saker want to die, and as long as there is a little more, it is possible to hold the little Saker to death.
The growth rate of these cattle and sheep can be imagined, but it only takes a few days to show the temperament of the head sheep. As long as any cow or sheep dares to break away from their leadership and run out to graze by themselves, the head sheep will arch it to the ground and take half a day to get up.
And the number of Qin Xiuwu's selections is also sufficient, and he selects according to the proportion of one head for every hundred cattle and sheep. In the end, the cattle and sheep were divided into flocks of 100 heads.
And in addition to the head sheep, Qin Xiuwu also assigned those hunting dogs, and let each herdsman lead two hunting dogs to herd the sheep. These hounds have proven themselves in the market.
A few days ago, when Qin Xiuwu was selling hunting dogs, after publicity on the Internet, more than 400 hunting dogs were sold in ten days.
Those that were sold were all the worse ones in Qin Xiuwu's ranch, and he was still going to keep those good ones as breeding dogs.
This shows how good the rest of the hounds were, and he turned them into shepherds with just a little training. With the help of herding dogs, this allows the herdsmen to significantly reduce their workload.
