Chapter 125: A Lot of Grass Seeds is Needed
An hour later, things came to an end.
People from several villages basically agreed. He even felt that twelve sheep was too little.
Zhu Ruru told them a rental price, and everyone could accept it.
According to the size of the male and female, each village allocated twelve sheep, and finally left six, Zhu Ruru's family raised them alone.
It was getting late, but everyone was not resting.
These wild sheep will wake up tomorrow morning, and they will have to set up their captivity before they wake up.
Fortunately, each village only needs to build one, and the strength of many people is great, and one night is enough for them to build a sheep house.
Zhu Ruru's family is not idle, they need to build a separate one.
Feng Bo had already returned from the town, and he was also surprised and happy to learn that Zhu Ruru and Meng Huaiyan had encountered a herd of wild sheep in the wasteland and stunned them.
He put down his stall and joined in the construction of a sheep house.
"These wild sheep look a little stronger than ordinary sheep, and I am afraid that their strength is much greater, and the sheep house must be built firmly." Feng Bo looked at the wild sheep lying on the ground and said thoughtfully.
Feng Bo's statement, Zhu Ruru agreed.
This group of guys is very strong and ferocious.
In the process of stuning them, Zhu Ruru was almost hit by their horns, but fortunately, Meng Huaiyan did a good job and pulled her away in time.
After a brief dinner, the family was busy.
It took a few hours to build the sheep house.
By the time they went back to the house to rest, it was already the middle of the night. Rarity and Yunyun are already asleep.
Looking at the two little beans, Zhu Ruru and Tang Qinglan's eyes unconsciously softened.
Without the fine clothes and food of Kyoto, they are now ordinary people, and even less freedom than ordinary people, but they are still full of hope.
These hopes will surely enable them to live a better life.
"If so, go to bed early."
"Mother, you too."
After saying goodnight to each other, the mother and daughter lay down, and not long after, they fell asleep one after another.
The next day, Zhu Ruru slept a lot.
She was woken up by a cheerful cry.
"They're awake, they're awake! Will they be hungry?"
"Hungry? What do they eat? ”
"My mother and sister said that they have to eat grass just like the little rabbits, so let's pull the grass for them to eat!"
When Ruru comes out of the house, she sees Rarity and Yunyun pulling weeds near the house.
However, the vicinity of the house had been cleaned up, and only some very shallow and somewhat dry weeds remained.
Rarity and Yunyun toss the weeds into the sheepfold, and they don't pay any attention.
Although several wild sheep had already woken up, they were suddenly encircled, and there were humans around, and they were obviously not used to it.
Some impatiently walked around the sheepfold and tried to climb over the fence.
However, Zhu Ruru had already expected it, and built the fence high and strong. Naturally, they can't get out.
After a few attempts, the goats gave up.
After a while, Feng Bo came back from outside with a basket of fresh green grass on his back.
After being thrown into the sheepfold, the wild sheep did not eat at first, but after a while, they began to eat the delicious fresh grass.
After looking at the fence for a while, Zhu Ruru looked back at Meng Huaiyan and muttered to him, "Ayan, do you say there is any place to get grass seeds?" ”
"Grass seeds?"
"Well, it's better to have the kind of grass seeds that are tenacious and can be planted on sandy ground."
With these wild sheep, they will need a lot of pasture every day in the future.
There are not many sheep now, and everyone can meet the demand by going to the mountains to cut them.
But these sheep will definitely breed more and more in the future.
When there are more sheep, the grass on the mountain alone will definitely not be enough.
The wasteland to the north, although it is sandy and gravelly, should be able to grow as long as you can get the right grass seeds.
The newly opened seed store in Zhu Ruru's space also has some grass seeds, but there are not many, and it is estimated that it can only grow half an acre of grassland at most.
Such a little grass seed is far from enough.
"Maybe you can ask Uncle Meng." Meng Huaiyan suggested.
Zhu Ruru's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, yes, she can ask Meng Jianye.
Meng Huaiyan told her earlier that the Meng family was a merchant before exile.
And the business is very big, and there may be people who know each other from all over the world.
Zhu Ruru immediately went to Meng Jianye's house.
When Zhu Ruru came over, Meng Jianye was about to go out to mow the grass, and when he saw Zhu Ruru coming, he hurriedly put down the sickle in his hand.
"If you are like a girl, but what's the matter?"
Zhu Ruru didn't beat around the bush, and directly explained his intentions to him.
After hearing this, Meng Jianye thought for a while and said, "I do know some people from the northern Yunxian area, maybe they can get grass seeds, but I need a little time to get in touch with them." ”
His wife's third brother is on his way to and from Changting County at the moment, and he should be there in less than two days, and he can be contacted at that time.
Leaving Meng Jianye's house, Zhu Ruru went to the wasteland again, she planned to enclose a piece of land first, try it with the seeds in the space, and see which grass seeds could grow here.
Wolf's tail grass, ryegrass, alfalfa, these grasses are more tenacious and can grow in sandy soil.
Zhu Ruru sprinkled some of each on the ground.
Not far away, Meng Huaiyan watched Zhu Ruru sprinkle grass seeds on the ground, his eyes were full of curiosity, but he didn't step forward to ask anything.
On the contrary, Zhu Ruru, after sprinkling the grass seeds, took the initiative to ask Meng Huaiyan: "Ayan, aren't you curious about what I just sprinkled on the ground?" ”
Meng Huaiyan: "Is it grass seeds?" ”
"You know." Zhu Ruru stuck out her tongue and leaned closer to him, "That, aren't you curious where my grass seeds came from?" ”
"Also, aren't you curious where the candy I gave you before and the strange snacks came from?"
Meng Huaiyan has been her bodyguard for a while, and he has often followed her during this time, which can be said to be inseparable.
Zhu Ruru sometimes took things out of the space, and did not avoid him much, and even sometimes shared snacks in the space with him.
Zhu Ruru could see that Meng Huaiyan was curious.
But he never asked her.
I don't know how at this time, Zhu Ruru took the initiative to ask him.
Meng Huaiyan lowered his eyes, staring at Zhu Ruru's face seriously with dark brown eyes, and he nodded honestly, "Curious." ”
"Then why don't you ever ask me?"
Meng Huaiyan lowered his eyes and said, "Everyone has their own secrets, if it is convenient for you to tell me, I don't ask, you will tell me." ”
"If it's inconvenient for you to tell me, if I ask, it may become a problem for you, and you have to prevaricate me."
He didn't want to bother her, nor did he want to hear her say something to prevaricate him.
So, he doesn't ask.
