didn't get out of the train station, Yunyi came directly to the ticket office to buy a train sleeper ticket to the south of Caiyunzhi, look at the pedaling time, there is still half an hour, Yunyi is waiting in the waiting hall, ten hours later, Yunyi walked out of the Spring City Railway Station with his luggage.

This is worthy of being called the spring city, in October, the north of China has begun to snow, and here is still the four seasons like spring. After finding a clean hotel to live in, Yunyi opened the map he bought at the Chuncheng Railway Station and studied it, and had roughly understood the address of the peacock breeding base on the Internet before, and now look at the way it is more convenient to walk, and what means of transportation need to be transferred.

Early the next morning, after eating a bowl of cross-bridge rice noodles at a small restaurant near the hotel, Yunyi got on the car to the peacock breeding base, and finally arrived at the peacock breeding base at noon after a bumpy journey.

After Yunyi's introduction, the management of the base agreed to let him go in to visit, and when he came inside, Yunyi was somewhat disappointed, the number of peacocks in the base was not much; After the explanation of the management personnel, Yunyi learned that the green peacock in China is a national first-class protected animal, and private breeding is not allowed, and the blue peacock, white peacock, and black peacock are allowed, but they also have to apply for a breeding license, and it is stipulated that they must be the second generation before they can be marketed.

After listening to the explanation of the management staff, Yun Yi knew that if he wanted to buy peacocks, he seemed to have some blood, and the managers also said that they not only had peacocks but also golden pheasants, big gray geese, and second-generation green-headed ducks; There are conditions for the breeding of peacocks, but there are no conditions for the breeding of golden pheasants, big gray geese, and second-generation mallards.

After some understanding, Yunyi communicated with the management personnel of the peacock breeding base alone, and in addition to the purchase price, he spent an additional 30,000 yuan to purchase two pairs of blue peacock species, a pair of white peacock species and a pair of black peacock species. Golden pheasants (red-bellied, white-bellied), big gray geese, and second-generation mallards have purchased 30 breeding birds for each species, of which the ratio of male and female is 1:5, so that they can breed in the manor in the future.

After paying 100,000 yuan to the breeding base, the management personnel of the base eagerly helped Yunyi to go through various procedures and documents and then contacted the professional consignment, and Yunyi returned to Spring City with confidence.

The next stop, Yunyi, is ready to go to the Northeast and the grasslands, which are the main production areas of dairy cows, horses and sika deer.

Sika deer is a medium-sized deer with a slightly rounded head, a long face, an exposed nose, large and round eyes, a slit-like infraorbital gland, obvious lacrimal fossae, long and erect ears, a long neck, slender limbs, narrow and pointed main hooves, and a short tail on the side hooves.

Grandpa used to use deer antler when he prescribed medicine, and he also told Yunyi about the appearance of sika deer, when he was very young, Yunyi was very interested in the sika deer, and he didn't see pictures in books until he read a book, but the real sika deer Yunyi was still the first time to see it.

According to the owner's introduction, the coat color of the sika deer changes with the change of seasons, and the body hair in summer is brownish-yellow or maroon-red, without down, and there are many disorderly white spots on both sides of the back and the lower edge of the body, which resemble plum blossoms, hence the name. In winter, the body hair is smoky brown with inconspicuous white spots, similar to the color of withered thatch; The neck and dorsum of the ears are grayish-brown, a black dorsal midline runs from the tip of the ear to the base of the tail, the abdomen is white, and the rump has white patches around it with black loops; The dorsal surface of the tail is black, and the ventral surface is white.

Yunyi also learned that the whole body of the sika deer is treasure, deer antler, deer whip, deer blood, venison, deer fetus, deer fat, deer tendon, deer tail, deer antlers, deer bones, deer skin, etc., all of which have medicinal value, and are all valuable Chinese medicines that can be used for medicinal purposes recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica".

After listening to the owner's introduction, Yun Yi was also excited, it seems that the introduction of sika deer in the "gourd valley" of the manor is really a double thing, not only can be watched, the products of sika deer can also be used as commodities or gifts; It also provides a raw material for brewing medicinal liquor in the future.

After placing a purchase order, Yunyi hurriedly said goodbye to the owner of the sika deer and rushed to the grassland.

The sky is vast and wild, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep, the prairie is magnificent, the green grass and blue sky drive away the fatigue of Yunyi all the way, and the comfortable Yunyi rides the grassland horse and walks slowly on the vast grassland.

Uncle Luke is a herdsman on the grassland, a typical grassland man, Yunyi still met him in the livestock trading market, the scene at that time was a little funny, a foreigner wanted to order Uncle Luke's beef cattle as a steak raw material in a Western restaurant, but the foreigner's Chinese language is really a little out of hand, so it became a mixed language of foreign language and Chinese, listening to Uncle Luke one head, two big, originally Uncle Luke's Chinese has a strong grassland flavor.

Seeing Uncle Luke's anxious appearance, Yunyi took the initiative to help Uncle Luke, and with Yunyi communicating in the middle, Uncle Luke's beef was sold at a very high price, and Yunyi also helped Uncle Luke finalize the supply contract for next year.

After sending off the foreigners, Uncle Luke chatted with Yunyi, and learned the purpose of Yunyi's visit to the grassland, Uncle Luke warmly invited Yunyi to his house as a guest, and the cows and horses that Yunyi needed were handed over to him to deal with, and promised that Yunyi would do it properly.

Yun Yi thought that this would be fine, so he prepared to visit his house with Uncle Luke.

After walking for two days in a row, Yunyi and Uncle Luke came to Uncle Luke's home on the grassland, and if it weren't for Yunyi's drag, they would have been able to rush back in just one day.

Walking into the herdsmen's homes, the sumptuous and heavy reception banquet is naturally unforgettable.

Life on the grassland is actually very simple and straightforward, that is, get up in the morning and go out to graze, eat some dry food brought in the morning at noon, and drive the livestock back to the pen in the evening.

For Yun Yi, this qiē is very fresh, and after the muscles on the inside of the legs adapt to the friction of the saddle, Yun Yi rode a horse and followed Uncle Luke to graze together.

Uncle Luke deliberately led the most docile jujube red horse in the family to Yunyi to ride, although it only took a short time for Yunyi to learn to ride a horse, but Uncle Luke still didn't worry about Yunyi, who had just learned to ride a horse; Seeing Yun Yi's eager expression, Uncle Luke gently patted the jujube red horse's buttocks with a smile on his face, and the jujube red horse carried Yun Yi and ran slowly, gradually speeding up.

At first, Yun Yi was still a little scared in his heart, after all, riding a horse is not like driving, and he will stop when he says stop. The further back, the more Yun Yi rode smoothly, and gradually Yun Yi relaxed his whole body, his body rose and fell with the running of the jujube red horse, enjoying the excitement of galloping, watching the earth fly back under his feet, and the wind whirring in his ears, it turned out that this was the arrogance of the grassland man.

Three days later, Uncle Luke took Yunyi to Uncle Haji's ranch dozens of kilometers away, Uncle Haji is Uncle Luke's best friend, and the two ranches are not far apart, and Yunyi came here today mainly to buy cows and horses.

In China, the black and white cow is the breed with the highest milk production, the largest number and the most widely distributed in China. Under normal feeding conditions, most cows can achieve a certain level of milk production.

The steppe horse is one of the oldest horse breeds in China and even the world, mainly produced in the northern grassland, and is a typical grassland horse breed; The body is stout, the limbs are solid and powerful, the physique is rough and strong, the head is large and the forehead is broad, the chest is deep and long, the legs are short, the joints are firm, and the tendons are large. The back hair is dense and the coat color is complex.

Prairie horses are hard-working, not afraid of cold, can adapt to extremely extensive feeding management, have strong vitality, and can survive in difficult and harsh conditions; The tamed steppe horse, which is not frightened or deceived on the battlefield, is extremely brave, and has always been a good military horse.

Tired from running around, Yunyi also felt that it was not easy to breed these animals, this trip to the north, Yunyi bought 20 sika deer, 30 cows, 10 horses, 50 sheep; The male-to-female ratio is 4:1.

After sorting out his bags, Yunyi said goodbye to Uncle Luke's family, and the follow-up consignment Yunyi was also entrusted to Uncle Luke to help handle it, and when he left, Uncle Luke also gave Yunyi two hybrid Tibetan mastiff cubs who had just been full moon at home and had not yet opened their eyes as gifts, with heavy blessings and Uncle Luke's gifts, Yunyi embarked on the way home.
