The rest of the world [farming]

I glanced at both sides, because I have raised cattle for a period of time, and I can still distinguish the good and bad of the cattle.One of the three cows I bought looked that two of them were relatively strong and young.Ao Mu discussed with Yang Wu and went over to inquire about the price.

A cow is worth more than a donkey, and a full-grown cow can weigh twice as much as a donkey.Beef cattle weigh even more.

Take a closer look at the cows. The man had watched Ao Mu buy donkeys for a long time before.Knowing that it was a big buyer, he hurriedly said with a smile: "Men, I bought a cow. This is raised by our own family. Originally, we wanted to kill the meat seller. But when the price is too expensive, no one buys it. If it is too cheap, the money is worthless now. You If you sell them all and exchange them with grain, I'll give you the cheapest one."

"I just think these two are good." Ao Mu patted Niu's body. "My family has food, but not so much. Let me ask you, do you collect compressed biscuits? It is the compressed biscuit of the military ration. The taste is not very good, but the heat is high and durable. As long as it is not moldy, it will last for ten or eight years. Everything can be eaten."

The man thought about it, a little confused: "I've heard of it, but I know it's a good thing. It's not easy to set a price. Food is so hard to sell, and the price of compressed biscuits must have doubled. This If there is more or less, neither of us is satisfied."

"How much did this cow sell before?" Ao Mu asked.

"It's [-] anyway." The cattle seller was a little embarrassed.

Ao Mu did some mental calculations in his heart, and according to the price of selling donkeys, this cow is worth seven thousand catties of grain.Even for a large grain grower, the price is distressing enough.As far as rice alone is concerned, even if the land in the northeast has a high yield, only four acres of paddy fields can grow this.

It is no wonder that fewer and fewer people are willing to farm these days.All the paddy fields owned by a family are enough to sell a cow.

Compressed biscuits must not be calculated according to the price before the end of the world.At least in the past two years, the value of compressed biscuits will only become more and more valuable, and will not decrease.

"Well, I'll give you 4 yuan for the two ends, which is 6000 yuan. But I can't bear to take out so much rice. Just half of the grain, and the other half I will use compressed biscuits. Compressed biscuits are the same as big rice. It’s almost 30 to [-] in the rice market. I won’t count you more, [-] to [-]. Then wipe a zero. I’ll give you [-] catties of grain and [-] boxes of [-] catties of compressed biscuits. Compressed biscuits can be kept It’s convenient to eat by yourself and buy other things in the future.”

In Ao Mu's eyes, this is a good way for both sides.

The cattle seller was still a little hesitant.I can't even calculate this account for a while.But six thousand catties of rice is absolutely good, and many people eat compressed biscuits as a nutritional supplement.Going to buy other things is definitely not afraid of people not wanting it.Thirty boxes can be kept at home, and it will definitely be troublesome to consume in the future.

Seeing that he was still hesitant, Ao Mu glanced at Yang Wu and motioned to go to another house to ask.Although the cattle are good, the price is still a priority.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the cattle seller hurriedly called the man back: "You say this is the price! I won't make you any money. If it weren't for the fact that the family couldn't support it, I wouldn't even think about selling it. You said that even if you buy it now There are fewer people who cattle, but even fewer cattle raisers. It will definitely get better and better when it recovers. It’s just that I can’t hold on now. Whoever buys it now is making money.”

He was still rambling on, and Ao Mu gave him fifty catties of rice as a deposit.

Continue to browse other places, but there is no sheep seller, but there are two litters of piglets for sale.Ao Mu took a fancy to a group of slightly older piggies, a total of ten piglets. They looked like one or two months old, and they were happy to see them.In the end, these little piglets were included in the family's livestock army at the price of two thousand gold rice.

There is not much to see for the rest.On the drive back, Yang Wu was still thinking about it.At present, we need to buy some more sheep, some cows and horses.It is best to buy a few more, and it is best to breed by yourself.But when it comes to self-breeding, this troublesome thing is even more.

"You said we can be busy enough to buy so much?" Yang Wu roughly calculated the time needed to take care of them.Dirty and smelly aside, if you want to ensure that they are raised white and fat and can reproduce offspring, you must ensure a good environment.It is estimated that even if the two of them are busy, they will be very tired.

"You can try automated farming. But it costs water and electricity. It's okay to pump groundwater now. If the electricity is enough, you have to install a few more generators. Don't you think we can't blink enough now?" Ao Mu gave a disapproval great idea.

"That's why it's worrying. If you want to hire someone, you can't trust anyone. Or maybe it's your aunt and her family? But their labor force should be limited." Yang Wu said helplessly, "It's just that I can think of a few more gentlemen at this time How wonderful."

It's not like women can't do this.But this kind of bloody man doesn't want to touch the women around him.This is not straight male cancer or something, it's just the education that has been engraved in my bones since I was a child.

"My aunt is fine. She and my uncle saved their family fortune by raising sheep in the early years. My sister is not sure, she seems to have gone to college." Ao Mu said.

Yang Wu raised his eyebrows: "I've been to college, I believe it. Seeing the Wu family's mother-in-law's dog-eyed attitude, there must be a reason why she fell in love with your sister."

Zhang Linya is beautiful and a college student.So when we were together with Wu Wenwei, we were able to get married smoothly.Can be married into is to marry into.Granny Wu still looks down upon her.Otherwise, Zhang Linya would not be so desperate that she could only protect herself by divorcing while pregnant.

"Don't mention this, let's take care of the newly brought back ancestors first. In a few days, we will go to the city to wait for my sister to give birth. This is a little bit more, raising children is much more laborious than raising livestock." so.But Ao Mu stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove much faster than usual.Obviously in a good mood.

Although the child was not his, it was a very strange feeling to see the birth of a junior who was related to him by blood.

Back home, Ao Ling has already started preparing dinner.In the future, there will be more young members in the family, and Ao Ling plans to cook more delicious food today.

"Mumu, where are our prawns frozen? The refrigerator is too full and I can't find it." Ao Ling asked them when she saw the two came back.

"It's in the basement. If you have nothing to do, do it first, and I'll get it." Ao Mu said, and asked Yang Wu to go to the greenhouse first to confirm the re-planned livestock pen, and then go to the basement to get it.

When the meal was almost ready, the donkey delivery arrived just in time, and it was extravagantly driving a tractor to deliver it.

Ao Mu thanked him, and said that he would come over at noon tomorrow and lead them to buy a donkey.

The donkey was placed next to the cattle pen, and after it was tied up, it went back to the building for dinner.I haven't eaten two bites of the cow and the pig's front and rear feet.After taking care of these open-mouthed beasts, it will be dark.

At noon the next day, the two went to the previous donkey farm to buy donkeys.The donkey farm is no longer planned, and the donkeys have almost been bought.Except for some old and weak donkeys, there were only three young donkeys left that no one bought because they were too small.The youngest donkey looked like a dog, as if it hadn't been weaned.But donkeys are really nice too.Yang Wu grabbed a handful of grass and teased it for a long time, and hooked up with Ao Mu to buy it even if he said nothing.

It's a pity that there are three donkeys, two males and one female, and the adult donkey bought the day before is a male.These are the three jackasses.This may be the happiness of the little female donkey, but Ao Mu doesn't want to see this.

Finally, after picking and subtracting, I found that there was also a seven or eight-year-old lame female donkey.Although he is lame on one leg and walks one by one, it does not delay the cub.And the lame leg was also broken in a fight with other donkeys.In order to prevent serious inbreeding, Ao Mu decided to take the lame donkey home.

These four donkeys, one lame and three young donkeys, were not expensive, and they were bought for only more than 4000 catties of grain.Not to mention Yang Wu, even Ao Mu felt that he took advantage of it.Turning around, I gave the recommended middleman two hundred catties of grain, which was regarded as an intermediate fee.

And on the afternoon of the second day after the donkeys brought them home, Ao Mu was watching Yang Wu mingle with the donkeys, having a great time, when a thunderstorm suddenly sounded in the sky, causing them both to fall. Jump.

"What's the situation?" A thunderstorm made Yang Wu's ears buzz.The livestock were even more frightened.After a rooster crowed, the entire greenhouse that was used as a livestock pen exploded.

Ao Mu turned his head and looked up at the greenhouse door.Unknowingly, the sky has been covered with a layer of thick clouds.

Since the beginning of spring, there has been almost no rain in the village. Before the rat infestation, the average daily temperature was as high as [-] degrees.The recent temperature is better, and the coolest time can be below [-] degrees.As long as you reduce going out, you can bear it.

But this kind of drought still can't make anything grow in the land.

After the rat infestation, the crops were basically ruined.But the villagers who did not give up replanted potatoes and other crops with a relatively short growth cycle in the land.But the weather is not beautiful, and the germination rate is pitifully low now.

If it rains happily now, even if it doesn't help the harvest much, it is at least a hope.

"Go back to the building first." Ao Mu said to Yang Wu who was holding a donkey in the greenhouse.

Yang Wu looked at the roof: "Such a big thunder won't knock down the greenhouse."

"The animal has never done anything wrong." Ao Mu went over and stretched out his hand to pull Yang Wu out.

Immediately, another huge thunder exploded in the sky.Looking up, at that moment, a giant lightning seemed to split the sky.

With just one glance, the feeling of helplessness that was almost hopeless rose from the soles of the feet to the inspiration of the sky.

Ao Mu pulled Yang Wu's arm and found that his arm was shaking: "Go back to the house first."

"Cover all the sun visors first." Yang Wu said, "At least it can cut off the sound."

There is still thunder in the sky, but there is a lightning rod on the roof of the building, so there is no need to be afraid of that.Thunder roared in the sky, and there was no raindrops for a long time.The two were busy putting up the sunshade of the greenhouse.Fortunately, these are semi-automatic, and it is not troublesome to get them.

After waiting for 10 minutes, the two returned to the building after finishing their work.Ao Ling was sitting on the sofa with Wu Lili in her arms.

Ao Mu used to sit with the four of them together.After a while, the heavy rain outside fell.
