This banquet was set up in the earthquake camp, not only for the meat that the soldiers rarely eat in the cottage villages, but also for the soldiers to attract a fresh food, that is, milk.

Milk, as Feng Jian's most important food, was put on the soldiers' tables, and Feng Jian took great pains to do so. At first, the people of Huluyan did not accept milk.

One is that the smell of milk is difficult to swallow, and the other is that cows produce hundreds of catties of milk every year can not solve the problem.

As for the belief that cows produce less milk, Feng Jian has a way to make the villagers see that cows are not local cattle, and the milk production of dairy cows is also incomparable to that of local cattle.

At present, one cow in Huluyan can produce 30 to 40 catties of milk, and two cows can produce 70 or 80 catties of milk, so it should be said that at this stage, it is more than enough to feed more than 200 soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion.

At the beginning, the fishy smell of milk was hard to swallow, Feng Jian thought about the production method of milk in later generations, and later generations often saw people selling fresh milk that had just been produced in the market.

Feng Jian had to spend time guarding the experiment of three cows, one male and two female. Male cows do not produce milk, and the two female cows produce a large amount of milk every day, but they have no good way to remove the odor in the milk.

Feng Jian jumped to his feet in a hurry, and asked the people who raised cattle in the cottage to see if they had a way to remove the fishy smell with milk.

Because ordinary cattle also produce milk, there will definitely be people who know how to make milk in the cottage, and soon heard about the method of making milk from the cottage cattle farmers.

In this era, the method of making milk was also simple, after the milk was squeezed out, it was immediately poured into a large pot and boiled over high heat, which was to remove the fishy smell and keep the milk from rotting for a day or two.

Some people say that it is because the local cattle with an annual output of several hundred kilograms are compared with their "foreign relatives" who often produce several tons or even more than 10 tons of milk a year. Of course, it may also be because of the ancient Chinese agricultural civilization, cattle are production tools, and there is enough food to grab milk from calves.

In short, except for the nomads of northern China, there was no tradition of drinking milk in the Ming Dynasty.

And what Feng Jian is doing now is to change people's eating habits and introduce milk, a food that can strengthen the body, into people's lives, first of all, starting from more than 4,000 households in Huluyan.

Feng Jian has repeatedly told the villagers about the benefits of milk, and has distributed the milk produced by the two cows for the villagers to drink for free.

Fresh and mellow milk is a very delicious food for this group of farmers who have just solved the problem of food and clothing, and after drinking it for free for a few times, many farmers gather around the cows every day, and when they have fresh milk, they will surround and compete to receive free milk.

This situation was unexpected by Feng Jian, and the people in the village did not have enough food for each household, and the free milk was very hungry and the taste was very mellow, so of course the villagers would compete to receive free food.

So Feng Jian made a change, Huluyan milk was no longer distributed for free, but milk was distributed as a kind of welfare to those who participated in the construction of dairy farms with outstanding performance.

Cows are indeed rare animals in this era, and it is indeed lucky to get two by chance, with cows will produce a steady stream of milk, so the nutrition of the soldiers of the earthquake camp can be fully guaranteed.

Feng Jian believes that it is necessary to hire a special person to manage the feeding, and the cows must not be allowed to make any mistakes.

After consideration, Feng Jian decided to set up a dairy farm in the cottage, specially inviting an old farmer with experience in raising cattle to take care of three dairy cows, and by the way, dozens of cultivated cattle from the Huluyan Mutual Aid Association were also put on the farm and handed over to the old farmer to take care of.

The old farmer Feng Jian found had raised cattle at home, but it was the first time he had seen cows that could only produce milk but could not plough the land, and he was also bottomless about how to breed.

The three old farmers were very cautious, and the commander handed over the cows to the three people to take care of, if nothing happened, even if the three of them were dismantled, it would be difficult to compensate for the three cows!

Be sure to ask the commander for a word, and if there is a problem with feeding at that time, please don't punish the commander!

For these ordinary villagers, Feng Jian, the commander, is a high-ranking figure in the cottage, and he usually can't talk at all, but now for the sake of the cows, the three old villagers have no choice but to harden their heads and come to the cottage meeting hall to find Feng Jian.

Because one of the three of them, an old farmer named Gu Laolu, spoke more neatly, so he expressed his appeal to Feng Jian on behalf of the three of them.

During the period of Gu Lao's picking, Ai Ai said to Feng Jian: "Finger ...... The commander, the three of them had never seen a cow before, and once they fed it, it was illegal...... Delayed the commander's major event, this ...... We can't afford to compensate for a few old bones! ”

Feng Jian said with a smile: "Old man, there should be no big difference between raising cows and raising cattle, as long as you feed on time, milk on time, and clean the cows on time, there will be no accidents." Well, even if there is an accident, this commander does not blame how. ”

After Feng Jian finished speaking, seeing that Gu Lao was still rubbing his hands vigorously, he knew that he must not have dispelled his concerns, so he continued: "Then tell me how you usually feed the farming cattle?" ”

Speaking of how to raise cattle, Gu Lao suddenly came to his senses: "Speaking of raising cattle, he is very knowledgeable. Let's talk about this cowshed first, and it is usually said that it will be cleaned on schedule. Frequent cow dung, diligent bedding not to say, but also need to often brush the cow body, twice in the morning and evening, not to be negligent. Especially in the hot summer, this cattle pen is indispensable for ventilation and freshness......"

Seeing that Gu Lao Jiao was talking, Feng Jian hurriedly stopped him and said: "Hehe, you old people are all experts in raising cattle, and this cow is also a cow. ”

Feng Jian then pointed to a hillside and said to Gu Lao: "The cottage headquarters is going to set aside this area to establish a dairy farm, set up a dairy storage room in the farm, establish a cow shed for cows and cultivated cattle, and a special dairy pasture, and the rest of the livestock are not allowed to go to this area to compete with the cows for food." This dairy farm will be handed over to the three of you in the future, and the matter of milking and boiling milk, the Huluyan Mutual Aid Association will arrange someone to take care of it, and how about a few of you who will raise three cows and the cultivated cattle of the Mutual Aid Association? ”

Seeing that Gu Laojiao and the other three old villagers were still hesitating, Feng Jian said again: "The three of you raise dairy cows and cultivate cattle on the farm, and you can drink a bowl of milk for free every day, and the mutual aid association rewards each person with one stone of grain every year, and at the end of the year, you can also receive a part of the cottage's self-produced meat and vegetables and other non-staple foods from the mutual aid association......"

Listening to Feng Jian's promise, Gu Lao couldn't help shaking his throat, and he patted his chest first and replied: "The commander can afford to look at our old bones, not to mention any milk, grain, and non-staple food, the little old man is willing to take care of the farm for the commander!" ”

Feng Jian smiled and said: "Dairy farming can be entrusted to the three of you, the three of you specialize in breeding dairy cows, each person counts a share of work, and at the end of the season, you can go to the mutual aid association trading field to exchange for the usual needs." In addition, take good care of the cows, and there will be corresponding rewards at the end of the year. ”

Gu Lao's hearts were beating faster, and the treatment of taking care of the cows was almost as good as the treatment of the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion, and at the same time, the three of them felt a little ashamed of their selfish thoughts.

Gu Lao'er blushed slightly, and said: "Xiao Lao'er has just seen three cows, two cows and a bull, the commander can rest assured, Xiao Lao'er promises to add a few new little cows to the farm within a year." ”

Feng Jian saw that the three old villagers let go of their hearts, and he also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This commander is waiting for the good news of a few old people, and they can really successfully breed little cows, and a few old people will be considered to have made great contributions to Huluyan, and the cottage will definitely reward a few people at that time." ”

When Gu Lao heard Feng Jian's assurance, they all laughed with their big mouths, at this moment they felt that the commander was still very amiable!

After Feng Jian's affairs were decided, he set aside an area to set up a dairy farm, and convened people to build cowsheds, milk cooking rooms, milk storage rooms and other houses.

Because of Feng Jian's encouragement, Gu Lao and the three of them put forward many useful suggestions on how to build a good farm, and Feng Jian let the three of them preside over the construction of the dairy farm.

Huluyan mountain is full of wild vegetables and grass seeds, so almost every village on the mountain is fed a few chickens, and the conditions are better to raise goats, donkeys and other domestic animals, the rich wild grass and wild vegetable resources on the mountain, so that the villagers do not have to worry about the feeding of the livestock at all.

Because the Huluyan area is relatively narrow, only a peak in the peaks of the Daze Mountains, such a natural environment determines that all kinds of livestock can not be raised on a large scale, and the most suitable is for each family to raise free-range, so the cottage also encourages each family to raise chickens, goats, donkeys and other livestock.

Although large-scale breeding is not possible for the time being, this unique feeding condition cannot be wasted, and small-scale livestock farms can be established in the cottage first. With the livestock farm, there is no need to worry about all kinds of meat sources in the mutual aid association trading yard in the future.
