"The combination of theory and practice is the way to achieve things, which is the wise words of the old man, and almost all the principles of success in the world.

Princess Pingyang exclaimed. Xue Lang said silently in his heart, can it be unreasonable? That's what the great men of modern times say.

Liu Nuguan also said: "Things in the world are easier said than done, and this is the combination of knowledge and action, which is the reason for making things happen." Master Xue's thin knowledge, the slave family admires! ”

Xue Lang was surprised: "I only admired it now, didn't you admire it before?" ”

Lady Liu is not sparing, and said with a smile: "I used to admire five points, but now I admire eight points." ”

Xue Lang smiled and asked: "There are still two points missing, is it to keep me from being proud?" ”

Lady Liu replied: "No." There are two points left, and they are kept to urge Xue Zhubo to improve. ”

This remark made everyone laugh. Xue Lang arched his hand towards Princess Pingyang: "Your Royal Highness Jade Toe is here, I don't know what is going on?" Your Highness has something to call your subordinates, how can you drive His Highness to come to the door in person? ”

Princess Pingyang said: "I heard that Youyang went to the farm director non-stop as soon as he recovered, a hard day, although I am a peak, but I am not a person who does not know how to sympathize with his subordinates, but I came to ask about the current situation of the farm, fortunately I went this way, otherwise I would not have heard such a wonderful statement from Youyang." ”

Xue Lang said with a smile: "Your Highness's reputation is just some experience, a little foolishness. ”

Lady Liu Jiao laughed: "My good highness, and Lord Xue, don't boast about the two of you." Xue Zhubo has been busy for a day, and his illness has only recovered, so it is better not to be tired, Your Highness, we might as well make a long story short, so that Xue Zhubo can sleep peacefully sooner. ”

Princess Pingyang nodded: "Ah Liu's reminder is right." Youyang can tell me how the farm is doing. ”

"Whoa."

Princess Pingyang has already selected the soldiers and started training, and now the meat for the soldiers is mostly sheep, chickens, geese, etc., which are bought outside, and the cost is quite large. In the long run, it will naturally not be able to bear this expense, and the main supply in the future will still depend on the farm. That's why Her Royal Highness is so concerned about the progress of the farm.

Xue Lang said: "Your Highness, the construction of the farm has been completed, and now it has entered the fattening period, as long as the pigs are raised for a month, they can be slaughtered slowly, and the chickens, ducks and geese are estimated to be about to enter the egg laying period, except for leaving a small part of the eggs and seedlings, the rest can be provided to the army." Even if the fry are bought, they need to be raised for about two months to be enough. Vegetables are available very quickly. ”

Princess Pingyang nodded and said, "It's a lot faster than I expected, hard work and young yang." ”

Xue Lang hurriedly said: "This is all within my responsibility, it's not hard." ”

Princess Pingyang said: "So it seems that at the most mid-May, the farm will be able to supply the consumption of the army?" ”

Xue Lang estimated it and nodded: "It should be possible, you can start fishing in June, June and July are the peak period for lotus root growth, and in July I plan to put a batch of grass carp fry that is at least palm size, and when the lotus root is harvested, grass carp will also grow, at that time, the climate will be cold, I plan to build an ice cellar to make excess fish into fish balls and freeze them to ensure the long-term supply of fish meat." ”

Princess Pingyang muttered: "It is easy to build an ice cellar, but the cost of ice cubes is quite huge, and there are no ice cubes in the early snow season. ”

Lady Liu said: "Maybe you can send someone to find it in the mountains?" ”

Xue Lang said: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll find a way to find ice cubes, but I have to trouble His Highness to find me some materials." ”

There is no need to hesitate at this point, Princess Pingyang said briskly: "What does Youyang need, you can list it, and I will send someone to find it." ”

"Whoa."

After talking about the farm, Her Royal Highness the princess said: "There is one more thing to come here today. Come, bring it. ”

The maid who followed Her Royal Highness the princess immediately presented a wooden box, and when she opened it, she revealed a pile of large fluffy particles. Xue Lang said "Huh", grabbed two and looked at them, and said happily: "This is cotton...... Oh, and the seeds of white stacks? ”

"Yes, yes. Rugui brought it back. A few days ago, you were recuperating from your injuries, so no one alarmed you, and I kept it, and now that you are well, I just brought it here. These white stacked seeds, handed over to Youyang to dispose of, whatever you need, as far as you can say, I will let people help you. ”

Although Princess Pingyang's attitude is important, it is obvious that she does not have a specific concept of the specific functions and effects of cotton, and she does not pay enough attention to it.

Xue Lang silently waited for his buddy to plant it and shake you, while covering the wooden box, estimating, and said, "It's the end of April now, and it's the cotton sowing period, so you have to hurry." ”

"It's all about the young sun."

"Whoa."

After saying that, Her Royal Highness the princess immediately took Lady Liu to say goodbye and sent people out of the door, Xue Lang thought about it, and then he was going to be busy again. Xue Lang said to Jiang Lin: "Look, I'm going to be busy again, I guess I don't have time to go out to hang out, I don't need guards, you can take advantage of your free time to read well, books are such things, there is no harm in reading more." ”

Jiang Lin knew that this was for his good, so he responded seriously: "Don't worry, big brother, little brother can save it." ”

As soon as Her Royal Highness the princess left, Wan Fu came to report: "Yu Dalang, Baozi's demeanor is unstable today, I am afraid that there are signs of giving birth to cubs." ”

Xue Lang had also raised dogs before, and knew the process of giving birth to pups, so he nodded and said, "Wanfu, don't get close to the buns and steamed buns today, be careful of them attacking you." ”

The Kunming dog is a fierce dog, especially when giving birth, and is extremely aggressive. No matter how smart the bun is, it can't get rid of the character and temper of the Kunming dog, and it has been much more sensitive since it was pregnant, and now it is going to give birth to cubs, Wanfu is not the owner, and he is unwilling to let Wanfu approach.

"Whoa! Is it okay to keep a small one from afar? ”

Xue Lang shook his head: "It's better not to, you go and rest yourself, by the way, let the kitchen prepare broth and noodle soup, and feed the bun if it is raw, but when the time comes, everything must be done by me personally, so as not to hurt you if the bun is sensitive." ”

"Whoa."

The brothers can finally eat now, after a busy day, and worried that the buns will be produced, Xue Lang has no appetite, so he ate a bowl of hot noodle soup.

Xue Lang had already realized that he had traveled to the Tang Dynasty, that is, he ate all kinds of noodles and rice in different ways...... What's that? Maybe one day you'll forget the taste of rice.

After eating food, it doesn't matter if there will be food accumulation, in order to cope with the possible production of steamed buns, Xue Lang washed up and fell asleep directly. Jiang Lin was full of energy, and he went to sleep after a punch in the courtyard to eliminate food.

Sleeping until midnight, half asleep and half awake, there seemed to be a "rustling" sound at the door, as if a dog was scratching the door-

Xue Lang spoke up before he woke up: "Who?" Soy milk? Steamed bread? ”

"Wow!"

It's the sound of steamed buns!

With the character of steamed buns, it is not sticky, and it will not easily harass the owner, is it a bun -

Xue Lang suddenly sobered up! casually pulled a piece of clothing and put it on, and ran out to open the door with his shoes on: "Steamed buns, but the buns are about to be born?" ”

"Wow!"

The steamed bun screamed eagerly twice, biting the corner of Xue Lang's clothes and dragging it out. Jiang Lin's door also opened: "Big brother, but the bun is about to give birth?" ”

"It's okay, it's probably that Baozi is going to give birth, I'll take a look."

"Dalang, the slaves and maids are here!"

Lamei and Hexiang also put on their clothes and came out.

Everyone looked nervous, but Xue Lang smiled: "It's just that the dog gives birth to cubs, and it's not a life cub, so you don't have to work so hard to move the crowd, I'll just go and take a look, let's go back and continue to sleep." ”

However, Xue Lang doesn't sleep, so where is Hexiang and Lamei going to sleep. Jiang Lin didn't feel sleepy when he woke up, and followed Xue Lang to the kennel to see.

In the kennel, the bun is already lying obediently on his stomach, and there is already a black and fluffy ball of meat wriggling under his buttocks, and he has already given birth to one!

A big belly, and there seem to be a few small heads arching back and forth in it.

"Wow!"

Baozi barked twice, bared his teeth at Jiang Lin, and there was a whimpering threat in his throat-

Fierce dogs such as Kunming dogs and German herds are more vigilant and afraid of life when they give birth, and some are not even allowed to approach their owners. The buns and steamed buns are good, and the cubs know to look for the owner. It is not surprising that Jiang Lin is not approached.

"Good, don't be angry with Baozi, Ah Lin won't come close, only me will come. Quick, lick your puppy clean. ”

Xue Lang softly soothed the bun and reached out to touch its head. The bun snorted and chirped twice, the dog's head rubbed Xue Lang's hand, took the puppy cub in his mouth, licked and licked hard, bit off the umbilical cord himself, licked the fetal membranes and other things on the puppy clean, and ate it himself.

The ancestor of the Kunming dog is the Chinese pastoral dog, commonly known as the earth dog. The vitality is extremely vigorous, not as delicate as the famous breed dog, and the cubs are also relatively rough when they give birth, and they don't need the help of the owner. However, Xue Lang still turned out alcohol and medical cotton swabs to poison the puppy's umbilical cord.

After giving birth to one and licking it clean, the bun didn't move for a while, lay down for a while and didn't move, and actually stood up and walked around the kennel, seemingly a little irritable.

Xue Lang hurriedly reached out and touched its head to comfort it.

The bun walked for a while, lay down again, and after a while, another one was born, and the coat color of this one was not as dark as the first one, but slightly lighter.

Baozi had experience, and automatically began to lick and lick, according to the first one, licked the puppy clean, the umbilical cord was bitten off, and Xue Lang continued to sterilize the umbilical cord of the puppy-

The first is a little; The second is a little male dog!

Look at the belly of the bun, it seems that there are puppies. Kunming dogs can generally give birth to four to eight puppies in a litter, more than eight are considered high-yielding, I don't know how many buns can give birth.

It is a long process for dogs to give birth to pups, some can give birth in one night, and in case of dystocia, there are those who give birth for one day and one night. The bun was born quite smoothly, from midnight to dawn, a total of five puppies were born, and then the stomach was deflated, Xue Lang deliberately touched it gently, there should be no puppies.

As soon as he was born, Wanfu immediately brought the prepared hot noodle soup and put a lot of meat, and the meat was all boiled. gave birth to a puppy and the bun was a lot fiercer, and no one was allowed to approach, even if it was Wanfu.

Xue Lang took it and fed the buns with his own hands. The bun is lying on his side and breastfeeding the puppies. This litter of puppies is very good, all of them are fluffy, round, very fat and cute.

Xue Lang brought the dog basin of the bun to its mouth and touched its head. Praise it: "It's hard to eat the buns, come and eat them, and only after eating them will you have the strength to feed your children." ”

"Woo!"

Baozi rubbed Xue Lang's hand with his head coquettishly, and then he ate it in a big gulp.
