Chapter 650: The Ranch Frost and Snow and the Cold Night
In the past few days, Miao Miao has been getting along with Calebiyat day and night, carefully calculating the average cost and profit of breeding cattle and sheep.
Naturally, I also learned that if these more than 800 ewes can survive this cold winter.
At the beginning of next spring, there will be more than 600 lambs in the flock of the Calbiat family.
And these lambs are the net profit of the family of Calbiat and the herdsmen he pastors.
This is also the reason why the poor Kalebiat family, in a few years, went from being in debt to becoming a big farmer.
In the eyes of herders, these ewes or cows are a symbol of hope for life, motivation for hard work and wealth.
Although raising livestock is very hard, these humble herdsmen each have at least three or five hundred thousand assets.
In the Ningxi region, as long as the people are industrious, the herders are basically wealthy, unless they suffer from serious diseases.
A new generation of herders, Calebiyat, feeds his calves with what little concentrate he had.
And Miao Miao, who was idle and had nothing to do, went to the cornhaystack to look for the golden retriever.
Outside, there were only two male dogs playing in the cornfield, and there was no female dog in sight.
The dogs set up their nests in a pile of corngrass, and they dug a hole in the low part of the cornstraw stack, and the corngrass was torn to the ground, and they slept in it warmly one night.
Miao Miao heard a faint moan from the northeast corner of the corn straw stack.
The voice was faint, vague and absent.
He followed the sound and looked for it, only to see that the yellow bitch had a puppy last night.
The curled up in the small corngrass hole, looking at Miao Miao with wary eyes.
"Hey, Calebiyat, your has a baby. Will it freeze to death on such a cold day? Miao Miao shouted worriedly.
Miao Miao looked around, looking for a shelter from the wind, ready to build a nest for the.
In the cold winter, the female dog and a litter of small furry children will definitely freeze to death in this ventilated place.
Miao Miao walked towards the south corner of the adobe house with a bundle of corn straw in both hands.
He chose the kennel to the north of the pile of coal on the south wall of the adobe house, which was a good place to shelter from the wind and snow.
Miao Miao dismantled the corn straw and spread it out into a thick meadow.
Immediately, he took several bundles of corngrass and built two stacks of walls on both sides of the straw mat, and found two planks from the front of the house and put them on the cornstraw wall.
Miao Miao took three more bundles of corngrass and put them on the wooden board.
A humble kennel was successfully built.
After feeding the calves, Calebiyat looked at the simple kennel built by Miao Miao with an empty bucket, and sincerely admired: "Miao Miao, I found that you have a smart brain. ”
"It's a local source." Miao Miao clapped her hands and said, "You go and get the and the dog baby in, I can't go, lest it bite me." ”
Calebiyat filled a urea bag with several dogs with closed eyes and carefully carried them into the makeshift kennel.
The yellow followed him with her tail wagging her tail.
Miao Miao felt that this kennel was not warm, and the entrance was too open and windy.
He took two more sheaves of cornstraw and blocked the open den, leaving only a door for the to come and go freely.
"Hahaha, you really can do it." Calbiat laughed.
Miao Miao also smiled happily, he liked the life of a herdsman.
Although the herdsmen's life is harder, they have no desires and no desires, no need to look up to others, no need to see the wind and steer, no need to intrigue and intrigue, no need to please others, everything lives as they like, and it is easy and easy.
After breakfast, Mizanbaik and his wife rode horses to graze.
Miao Miao drove with Calebiyat to Hongqi Village.
Under the leadership of Calbiat, the two arrived at Hongqi Village.
Hongqi Village is not only rich in mineral resources, but also has a beautiful environment.
The roads in the village are lined with landscape trees such as red leaves and begonias.
The car was driving on a high slope, and Calebiyat excitedly pointed to the right front and said, "Miao Miao, you see, how beautiful the winter in our Hongqi Village is!" ”
Following the direction of her friend's finger, Miao Miao couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, the beauty of Hongqi Village is no less than that of the Shata Ancient Road." ”
The red color of the landscape plants is hidden in the white snow, and the rows of earthquake-resistant and wealthy houses with red or blue tin roofs are neatly arranged.
In addition to the distant mountains, there is an endless white that extends in the sky, like a vast ink painting.
The pickup truck came to Calebiyat's real home in Hongqi Village, a nearly two-acre courtyard with a row of blue-gray red-roofed houses sitting in front of the yard.
Opening the iron gate of the fence and walking on the two-meter-wide road made of bricks, Miao Miao sincerely admired: "Calbiat, your house looks like Bayi, but it doesn't look like a poor household at all, and lo and behold, the toilets are all tin huts." ”
"Hey, my family is not a poor household, but a poverty alleviation household. This is a national project, a few years ago, in order to treat my sister and sisters, our family sold all the livestock, and owed a lot of medical expenses to the villagers, becoming the poorest person in Hongqi Village. Calebiyat said emotionally with red eyes: "The tuition fees of my university are all supported by Xinjiang aid funds, without the support of the state, I don't even have the money to go to college, I went back to my hometown to start a business, just to repay the society." ”
Calebiyat took Miao Miao around the house and walked to the backyard, only to see a row of brick and wood structure sheds, which were very large.
"These sheds are also the county's funds to support college students to start their own businesses for free, I can't do it well, am I worthy of everyone?!" Calebiyat said in his heart.
When the two of them came to the open hood in front of the courtyard, they saw two piles of woven bags full of things stacked under the open canopy.
Miao Miao pinched the woven bag with her hand, "This is the feed we pulled?" ”
Pointing to the red woven bags, Calebiyat said, "These red woven bags are the feed I formulate, and the green woven bags are the feed that my father uses traditional ingredients. ”
"Is there any difference?" Miao Miao asked curiously.
Calebiyat said brightly: "Of course it is different, the ingredients I use are alfalfa grass, red bean grass, soybean meal, oil residue, salt, bone meal, and bud rice core in proportion. ”
"And what about your dad's toppings?" Miao Miao asked carefully.
Calebiyat pointed to the green woven bag and introduced, "My father and I have more bud rice cores in the ingredients, and the others are similar, these two bags of feed, the bag of feed I match is less than the cost of my father." I'll try it this winter, and I'll see the difference between these two feed-fed lambs. ”
Seeing Miao Miao frowning and pondering, she looked like she didn't understand.
Calebiyat explained carefully, "In the past two years, there have been too many farmers planting corn in Ningnan County, and all the bud rice cores in the corn field have been used as base fertilizer, I think it's a pity, this year with a sheep and a boss who planted 2,000 acres of land for two big carts of bud rice cores." If this winter, there is no difference between the cattle and sheep raised on my feed and those raised on traditional feed, I will change more buds and rice cores next year to reduce the cost of breeding. ”
