Chapter 394 The Man on the Grassland is Mighty and Powerful 23

"So you're saying boys can't be ashamed?"

Hu He's eyes flickered slightly, but he still said, "I'm not ashamed. I don't know about others."

Chengcheng took two steps forward without arguing, and the distance between them was shortened again.

Sweat broke out on Hu He's forehead, and he kept muttering, "Don't, don't come any closer."

He wanted to hide, but since she was holding his little finger, he couldn't make a move to shake off the girl's hand.

"Don't step back anymore. You still say you have no shame. I just took two steps towards you. Why are you stepping back?"

“I…” Huhe looked up at the sky and said in panic, “I get nervous when you get close to me.”

"Nervous? Why are you nervous around me? And why can't you look at me?"

Chengcheng's words made Huhe face his inner self, but he couldn't find the answer.

"I don't know."

Cheng Cheng opened his mouth and said to him, "Stupid."

Hu He stared at her with wide eyes, "You said I'm stupid?"

Today I heard two words that no one has ever used to describe him: one is shameful and the other is stupid.

If someone else had said this, Huhe would have punched them right back.

Now that it was said by a female educated youth, and by her, he really couldn't do anything about it.

I tried to pull my hand back, but she held it tightly.

Huhe walked away feeling unhappy. Halfway through, he said, "Let's stop here. Don't send me off. Go back."

As he said this, he tried to pull his hand back.

Cheng Cheng smiled and added, "I admire you for being so different. Good night, Huhe."

At this point, she let go of his hand and waved at Hu He, "Then I won't see you off. By the way, don't forget about the vanishing cream. I'm going back to eat first."

When Huhe saw her pull her hand back swiftly, he felt a sense of reluctance that was so fast that he couldn't even catch it.

I felt as if just one sentence had calmed his concerns.

"Goodbye, I won't forget you. Good night, Orange." He replied, imitating the way she spoke.

Only after watching her turn and walk away, slowly walking away until she could no longer be seen, did Huhe decide to go back.

In his heart, he had already forgotten that she had just called him shy and stupid, and he was only thinking about the vanishing cream she wanted.

……

The next morning, the educated youth followed the instructions and learned how to milk the cows.

There is a special cattle pen on the grassland, where a group of dairy cows are raised.

Since the beginning of this century, dairy cows have been raised on grasslands to meet the milk needs of urban and rural residents.

By 50, the scope of dairy cow breeding had gradually expanded, and dairy cows were also raised in other areas besides grasslands.

It was also during this period that some encouraging policies were promulgated. With policy support, more farmers and herdsmen began to raise livestock.

In the Kelun grassland, there are especially many dairy cows on this vast expanse of grassland.

Generally speaking, a cow can produce about 20 to 30L of milk, and some cows can produce 30 to 40L per day at their peak.

Part of the freshly squeezed milk will be sent to the city, part will be kept by the herders, and most of the rest will be supplied to the dairy factory.

At that time, the dairy factories were still under the management of the state. For the grassland residents, they reached cooperation with these dairy factories and they would supply production on time.

The dairy farm will also pay the grassland residents corresponding wages, which is less than the price of finished milk.

At that time, the dairy factory did not have its own supply channels and relied only on milk sent by surrounding herdsmen.

The production of dairy cows is affected by many factors and sometimes fails to meet supply demand.

Generally speaking, it is available in villages, counties and cities around Kelun Grassland.

The herders saw a business opportunity, summed up their experience and compared the dairy factory's other sales channels, giving priority to the one that makes more money.

Although the dairy factory is backed by the state, the public society has intervened to manage it.

But this cannot stop the herders who want to make money from selling their products to surrounding villages in order to raise the price.

Families who have just given birth to a child and have no milk to drink will give priority to this substitute, and sometimes the price can be even higher than malted milk.

Some people always think that freshly squeezed milk is more nutritious than prepared milk powder and malted milk.

But what people overlook is that freshly squeezed milk also has some shortcomings. The sanitary conditions are difficult to guarantee and the disinfection level at this time is not optimized enough.

What’s more, most of the food in the hands of herders has not been disinfected. Although the freshness and nutrition are guaranteed, the shelf life is far shorter than that of malted milk.

Despite this, it is still welcomed by urban and rural residents.

In winter, herders not only sell fresh milk but also popsicles.

This kind of popsicle is made from fresh milk and requires relatively little milk.

Herders do this when the milk harvest is low.

A small portion is left for making popsicles, and most of it can be used to make Mongolian milk tea in winter.

The milk tea on the grassland here usually contains milk chews, milk skin, milk residue, milk tofu, cheese, beef jerky, fried rice...

The ingredients are rich and the taste is immediately layered.

Authentic grassland milk tea tastes salty, and the addition of other ingredients will weaken the saltiness of the milk tea itself and achieve a perfect balance with it.

The people who came to teach the educated youth how to milk cows today were married women from the grassland, including Aunt Huhe.

As the leader among the women, she was responsible for assigning each educated youth to study with whom.

Chengcheng naturally fell under her command. Before doing the preparation work, she needed to select healthy dairy cows and wipe the area around the mammary gland with a towel soaked in warm water.

To ensure that dirt and surface bacteria are removed from the cow, a small milk bucket is supported underneath while gently massaging it using specific techniques.

After a while, with Chengcheng's witness, Huhe's aunt personally demonstrated the entire process.

After demonstrating several times, he gave the position to Chengcheng and indicated that it was her turn to do it.

As Cheng Cheng squatted down, she saw the cow's legs move backwards twice, and she immediately retreated.

She was really afraid that the cow would kick her.

She looked at Aunt Huhe for help, "This cow won't kick me, right?"

"If you master the technique and don't make the cow feel uncomfortable, it won't kick you."

This... How do I master this?! Cheng Cheng frowned tightly and touched it tentatively with his hand.

The cow just flicked its tail and didn't react in any other way.

"Come on."

With Huhe and aunt cheering on, Chengcheng withstood the pressure and tried again.

She touched it gently with her hand very carefully, fearing that the cow would have a bad temper and kick her.

How can I describe this feeling? It's like touching a soft and furry animal, similar to the belly of a hedgehog.

Because in those days, only rubber gloves were available on the market, and these gloves were not very productive, so only a few herders would use them.

In order to save this expense, most people just start working by hand. This kind of work done by hand is easier to control the strength and speed can be practiced.
