My 1995 Small Farm

Chapter 216: See the donkey and the horse

   Chapter 216 Looking at the donkey and the horse

Chen Ling didn't know how the group of bear children were cleaned up by their parents later, but the frightened donkey in Wang Laishun's house was seriously injured and its front legs were broken. Although Wang Laiyun and Wang Laishun were brothers, they borrowed the I have to work on my brother's livestock and hurt the livestock, so I can't ignore it.

   Immediately asked Chen Ling to drive the tractor of the brigade over and use the tractor to pull the donkey back to his own home.

I don't bother the two masters. After the event, Chen Ling treated the injured leg of the donkey. The earth formula prepared by Wang Susu was used for both humans and animals. The mood has improved greatly, I can eat and drink normally, and my mood has stabilized.

   This is the case with frightened animals. There are many sequelae after being frightened.

   For example, loss of appetite, vomiting and diarrhea, becoming irritable and irritable, not allowing people to approach, and kicking people at every turn.

  Those who have raised large animals generally know that when the animal is frightened, it will be like crazy, and it will not stop until it hits something or gets tired of running.

   If they are stimulated by other things in the middle, the situation will be more serious. Some animals are shocked once and can no longer work.

   This big **** is very good. It may be that he is old and has been with people for a long time. Even if he is frightened, he will quickly calm down.

   So after two days of observation, and there was no problem, Chen Ling went to give him another medicine, and then he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

   As for collecting money, this is in the same village. Wang Laiyun is also an elder who is close to him. He didn't think about asking for money from the beginning.

   But who knows, the next day after the medicine was given, Wang Laiyun sent a few ducklings and gooselings to the house.

   When spring ploughing comes, big animals have many uses, but getting hurt is a big problem.

   Whether it is Wang Laiyun or the parents of several bear children, they all understand this truth.

   The borrowed animal was injured, and whoever caused the trouble should be in charge of the house, no one would say anything more about it.

   But there's nothing to do with Chen Ling here. They did their best and gave them medicine to heal the animals. In the end, they didn't say anything. You can't let people kindly help you suffer.

   Several people thought about it, this fellow from the same village, if he gave money, his face would not look good.

   After careful discussion, I knew that Chen Ling was going to raise chickens and ducks on the farm soon, so let's send a few ducklings and gooselings.

   Needless to say, these ducklings and gooselings did save Chen Ling a little trouble.

   Especially the goose seedlings, it was a reminder to him that if you don’t raise rabbits this year, you can still raise geese.

Goose can be mixed with chickens and ducks. It can be used as the lead goose, and it can also look after the house. It mainly eats grass and eats very little food. Eggs, eating goose meat, can be said to serve multiple purposes.

And it happened to be the next day in the eighth township in early February, so Chen Ling decided to go and buy more goose seedlings back. After it is built, bring it along with the chickens and ducks.

   Make a good plan, and drive the ox cart on the road early the next day.

  If you want to buy good poultry and livestock, you must go there early, otherwise, others will pick the rest if you go late.

  …

When he arrived in the village, it was not yet nine o'clock, and the stalls in the market had not been fully set up. Chen Ling went to the animal husbandry station and sat down with Station Master Li for a while. While chatting, he also asked about various vaccines. As well as injections and injection liquids commonly used in poultry and livestock.

Several commonly used medicines are available in the animal husbandry station. After learning that Chen Ling had seen several cases of diseases for the animals, and that the notes he gave were basically understood, the stationmaster Li was very happy, not only gave some medicines, but also sent He has a medicine cabinet.

  Chen Ling was on his body, and he still looked decent, which was very good.

   The two were talking, and Station Manager Li knew that Chen Ling was coming to the market to buy goose seedlings, so he didn’t keep him much, and after chatting for a while, he sent him out.

  As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Laoba with his hands behind his back, circling the ox cart back and forth, his eyes looking at the little white cow. seems quite interested.

   "What's the matter, old man?"

Laoba looked up at Chen Ling, smiled and said, "This is the white buffalo you bought last year, right? It's not bad, now I dare to meet strangers, and my stature is not bad. I'm honest when I work. Do not?"

   "He works very honestly, and he is very well behaved. In fact, if I want to see it, this cow is just like a human being. If you take it out more, you will gradually become more courageous." Chen Ling patted the big head of the little white cow.

   "Okay, it seems that you really want to see this white cow, and you took great care to raise it." Laoba nodded approvingly.

   then said: "When do you want to breed, I will find a big white bull for you and give birth to two white calves."

  Chen Ling smiled immediately: "It's too early for breeding, my family is still a calf, and it's not easy to find white buffalo here."

  Buffalo grows slower than cattle. Yellow cattle can be bred at one year old and fully grown at two years old. Water buffalo can only be bred at one and a half years old and reach full adulthood at three years old.

   However, most cattle-raising families will not let their cattle be bred to produce calves as soon as they can be bred.

  Because this will not only harm the body of the cow, but also the probability of dystocia is high, and the risk is relatively high.

  It is all about preparing for breeding after the cattle are fully grown.

   And his own little white cow is only one year old. Whether it is body size or other aspects, it has not fully grown up, so it is not wrong to call it a calf.

   But that is, it grows faster than normal buffalo, the body is large and well-proportioned, and the appearance is very beautiful.

   On the surface, it looks as if it has grown, but in fact it is very small.

   So it's really too early to talk about breeding at this time.

   "What's hard to find and hard to find, not to mention white buffalo, even white horses, white donkeys, and white mules can be found for you."

   Lao Ba waved his hand indifferently, indicating that this is nothing.

   "What? There are also white donkeys and white mules?" Chen Ling was stunned when he heard this.

   "I've seen a lot of white horses. Are there really such white donkeys and white mules?"

   "Yes, it's in this episode, it's all about it, if you want to see it for yourself, there's a bunch of people around it as soon as you bring it here."

  Laoba smiled and pointed back to the direction of Luomashi: "I'll go back to have a meal first, and I'll take a look later. I should say or not, I haven't seen much of this thing before."

  …

Chen Ling rushed to the Mule Market with doubts, and sure enough, he saw many people surrounded by the big livestock trading place in the innermost place. He resisted the urge to watch the fun, and first picked more than ten goose seedlings from the poultry stalls outside. , after paying the money, put it in the bamboo basket on the ox cart, and then walk over.

   Walking halfway, I saw a big white buffalo. It was tall and strong. Compared with the buffalo in the south of the Yangtze River, it looked thinner and taller, and its belly was not so big. This is the characteristic of the local buffalo.

   But this rare big white buffalo was ignored at this time, and people swarmed to the innermost place to watch the excitement.

   Obviously there is something even stranger in it.

Chen Ling drove the bullock cart over, and saw three white mules and horses in the crowd, all white from head to tail, tied to three big trees, one of which was the tallest, and Chen Ling recognized it at a glance. white horse.

Because compared to mules and donkeys, the horse's body is the smoothest and most beautiful, and it is barking in a frantic "sweet rhythm". The whip under the abdomen was about to move, and a large spear tip protruded, which was very obvious.

   The size of the other two mules and horses is one smaller than the other, no need to guess, these are the white donkeys and white mules that Lao Ba said.

   At this time, the surrounding crowd was noisy, gathered together and pointed at the three white mules and horses. Many people had never seen such strange colors of mules and horses, and they kept talking with great interest.

   "White mules and white donkeys are too rare. It's really hard to combine these two with white horses. How many can you produce in a hundred years?"

   "Come on, it's still a hundred years, and a thousand years may not produce a few. Anyway, I haven't seen it before."

   "Which one do you say is a mule? You're wrong, it's a donkey, and the smallest one in front of you is a donkey. Well, that's for sure. The donkey is the smallest among the mules and horses. It's a donkey, not a mule."

   "Haha, this guy's three things are all white, so he won't recognize him."

   "Hey, don't make fun of people, you go to the side and ask, who can tell the difference at once..."

   "Master's family, master's family, come and tell me, which is the mule and which is the donkey?"

   "Come here, the biggest is a horse, the smallest is a donkey, a mule is bigger than a donkey and smaller than a horse, all are white and hard to recognize, just remember this..."

   "No, you look at that horse, it's like being shocked. It keeps kicking its legs and screaming. Do you want to slap it? Get away from it."

   "It's alright, don't be afraid, my family is a big stallion, it smells the stench of a mare, and I want to breed."

   "When I came here, I encountered other big stallions and they were fighting, so wouldn't I have a bite on the neck..."

   Everyone saw that this big white horse really had a wound on his neck.

   In the mule and horse market in spring, animal breeding is also a major attraction, especially when the males fight, many people can gather every time.

   That scene was comparable to a bullfight.

Because in the early spring, when everything recovers, it is the peak season for animals to come into heat. Among them, donkeys and horses are the most common. People often say that a cold donkey warms a horse. Completely warmed up, the horse followed suit.

  Donkeys and horses come into estrus from the early spring and can last until summer, and the thought of breeding will gradually subside after the weather is hot.

This big white horse is a typical estrus and wants to breed. The reins are tied to the tree and it is still restless. Pulling the reins, it keeps running around the big tree. It's like asking for a posthumous son.

  …

   "Well, I didn't fool you, did I?"

  Chen Ling looked strange for a while, Laoba and Station Master Li also came over. After walking to his side, Laoba asked with a smile.

"It is indeed a white mule and a white donkey. These things are rare. I heard people say that there will not be a few in a thousand years." Chen Ling said with emotion, he had never seen a white mule or a donkey before. Today It's an eye opener.

"It's rare, it's nonsense in a thousand years. There used to be white donkeys in the barn in the south of Baiyungou, and there were two at once. I've seen white mules before, and I thought it was weird at that time." Knock the smoke pot and continue with a pot of smoke.

The stationmaster Li next to him couldn't help but leaned in and looked at it, and he was very excited when he came back: "This guy is really rare. The white horse, the white donkey, and the white mule are all together, and the white donkey dare not say, this white mule. It's really rare to see it once in decades."

   "But this white donkey is an albino, and this white mule probably isn't."

"Well, this mule is paired with a white horse and a white donkey, and it has eyes for stone flowers. If it has red eyes, it is a white mule born from a white horse and a black donkey. It is rare for ordinary people to say that it is rare. Anyway, I have been a mule and horse broker for so many years. I've seen some." Lao Ba nodded with a cigarette stick in his mouth.

   Director Li smiled helplessly: "How can ordinary people compare to you, daddy, who doesn't know your ability is great in the village."

   "Haha, this is a big deal. If you are willing to work as a mule and horse broker for a few more years, you can do it."

Laoba smiled, then turned to look at Chen Ling: "How rich and noble, have you caught up? Don't you have a heart for this white animal? Get the three back together, let's put together a piece of your white cow, That battle, how exciting it is to go out."

  “…”

   "Come on, I don't want any of them, I'll buy them all back." Chen Ling shook his head, these things are rare, they have to be eye-catching, he still thinks his own little white cow is good.

At this moment, a female donkey was led by someone, and the white horses in the crowd seemed to smell the smell, and immediately became more and more manic, and the white male donkey also screamed, "Ah, ah, ah," and its front hooves were on the ground. Keep digging.

   "Where is Laoba? Come and match the donkey." This was a short, round-faced old man, and he shouted as he walked over with the donkey.

  Laoba was furious when he heard it: "It's your mother-in-law, how can you talk, you have eaten too much donkey whip, and your mouth is so angry."

   Although they were scolding, but the two were obviously acquaintances, they greeted each other a few words, and the short and thin old man dragged Laoba to find the **** for him.

   "Is there anything you need to do with your wealth? Let's go around if you have nothing to do." Li Station Master invited.

  Chen Ling naturally had nothing else to do, so he just went to see how Laoba picks donkeys, and learned some skills.

   So he took the cow and followed him.

   The mule and horse market in the village is quite large, specially prepared for the transaction of large livestock, and the ox carts are unobstructed here.

   "Laoba, come over and see the mule first."

Before walking a few steps, the old bus was stopped, and a man with a basket on his back pulled a black mule and shouted, "If you want to change your mule, you can use a black mule for a red one. The owner said that I want to make up for three. Hundred, do you think you can change it?"

  Laoba walked over and just opened the red mule's mouth and glanced at it, then nodded and said, "Change it, the red mule whose teeth are just as long as the mouth can be exchanged for your old black mule, and you won't lose for three hundred dollars."

   "Okay, then I'll change."

  The man immediately nodded excitedly, turned around and went to trade with the master.

   Mule, horse, mule and horse, mules are actually more like horses.

  Like a horse, a mule's teeth are six-year-old and full, also called Qikou.

   A mule whose teeth are just as full as its mouth is when it is full of energy, and the skin of a mule is stronger than that of a horse and a donkey.

Laoba is a celebrity in the luoma market. This guy greets people everywhere along the way, stops people to look at the animals, and chases them over to give money for cigarettes. He picked a good animal at last year's big fair, and this year he came here to pay the economic expenses. supplemented.

  Chen Ling followed, opened his eyes and learned a few tricks.

"The waist is long and the legs are thin, and when you get old, you won't be able to become a weapon." Do not be afraid"…

  This is like picking a dog. There are many formulas, and they are easy to understand. You can compare them several times according to the formulas, look at the articulation, look at the pattern of the fur, look at the head and tail of the body, and you can quickly master it.

  There are quite a lot of livestock at the market in early spring.

  Laoba successfully found a satisfactory **** for this short and thin old man.

   They are all in estrus, no need to say more, lead the two donkeys to the open space, and fight with firewood and fire, real knives and real guns.

   Accompanied by the painful and joyful barking of donkeys, many adults and children gathered around to watch the fun, as if to cheer for them.

   After the fiery and fierce battle was over, the host family prepared a bucket of water for the tired **** to quench its thirst.

   On the side of the female donkey, the short and thin old man was whipping with a whip.

   Everyone looked at it with a smile, as if they were not surprised.

   Only Chen Ling was full of doubts, and asked Laoba and Li Station Master why.

"This, this is called scaring the donkey. I'm afraid that it has just finished breeding, and when it relaxes, it will want to pee. This flick of the whip makes it shrink inward, hey, it won't pee, that jackass's The donkey seeds also flowed in, otherwise the urine would easily be unworthy, and in the next episode, I have to find a male donkey to match."

   Laoba explained slowly with a cigarette stick in his mouth.

   "So that's the case." Chen Ling nodded suddenly, wondering if he bought two donkeys and horses to raise, so he specially let them breed in groups and bring them to the market for sale.

This idea just started, but he quickly realized that he has a lot of things to do this year. In the first half of the year, the farm will be built, and in the second half of the year, his daughter-in-law will have a baby. Keep it up, that's fine.

   "But when the farm is built, you can buy a few more sheep first, mules and horses, etc., let's talk about it when the dolls are big."
