Chapter 870 It’s easy to lend a hand

Harvesting crops is simple. Two harvesters transport all the grain back in just a few days.

The most troublesome part is the subsequent threshing and drying, as well as the processing of the straw.

Nowadays, there are so many animals that need forage. These straws, including soybean stalks, cannot be wasted.Even the households that participate in farm breeding, after keeping enough for their own livestock, are sent to the breeding farm. Some are piled into haystacks for preparation, and some are directly crushed into fodder by machines and sent to the farm. Deer farms, wild goose farms, horse farms and deer farms and hunting farms.

These things only require Lu Lu and others to operate the machines during harvesting. As for other things, they can be left to Chen Xiuyu and Lei Meng to complete them.

After the food was collected, Zhou Cuifen, Zhou Fangjing and others also arrived with the wild goose army.

Within a few days, thousands of acres of fields were scavenged by geese, even the grass seeds in the river valleys were not spared.

There were almost [-] wild geese, squawking like wind and lingering clouds wherever they passed, making them extremely lively and cheerful.

They are all very good eaters. The families who manage the two wild goose farms can be said to be the hardest working ones on the farm. Except for winter, they have to drive the wild geese in the surrounding ravines and valleys for half the year. and grazing in rivers.

Since the beginning of summer this year, Wu Wangang, who has been responsible for the sales of wild geese, flying dragons and forest frogs, came once.

He talked about the situation of several wild goose breeding farms outside. Most of them adopt the method of enclosure to prevent escape. The wild geese raised are only fat and strong, much heavier than the wild geese raised by Lu Lu. However, when they are sold, Especially the people in the restaurant would rather pay a higher price to buy Lu Lu's wild geese than buy someone else's.

Due to long-term grazing, the meat heads of these geese that have been fully exercised have become firmer, with moderate fatness and leanness, and the dishes produced taste much better than those from other farms.

The economic situation has improved a lot in the past two years, and people's mouths have begun to change.

But few can do it like Lulu Breeding Farm, which has a large amount of mountain forest and wasteland around it and enough stocking land to maintain the original taste of wild geese.

There are also a few people who breed wild geese. Because of their poor awareness of hygiene and precautions, when encountering a situation, they go to the veterinarian to explain the situation, buy some medicine or injections, come back, and start playing with it themselves. In the end, they end up destroying the whole business. .

Here in Lu Lu, there is a special medical room for prevention, and because they are often stocked, they have stronger disease resistance.

Even the breeding of flying dragons is the same. It is a semi-free-range model. The farm spends a lot of money every year to collect a lot of pine nuts and hazelnuts, which flying dragons like to eat, and mix them with corn for feeding. Without these things, The pine nut-like flavor that Feilong has comes with it cannot be obtained simply by feeding it some corn.

With careful feeding, good things will naturally come out, and Lu Lu's family farm has already become famous.

Even venison from the deer farm and deer meat from the deer farm, some people have come to ask if they can provide it.

However, nowadays, in the construction of hunting grounds, deer and sika deer also need to be released. The price of hunting these two kinds of prey is much more profitable than selling the meat.

The male deer in the deer breeding farm must be kept to produce musk. As for the excess female deer and older ones, they can be used for release.The same goes for sika deer in sika deer farms.

Everything went smoothly.

Watching the wood frogs in the three forest frog farms begin to come down from the mountains to prepare for the winter, the musky smell from the deer deer farms is getting stronger and stronger.

Just after the grain was put into the warehouse, a large group of people had to devote themselves to drying the forest frogs.

Lu Lu, on the other hand, led Zhang Shaofeng and others to collect musk this year.

As there are more and more male deer of suitable age, the amount of musk collected from live animals is also increasing. With the anesthesia gun, things have become much simpler. This year, the amount of musk collected reached almost two kilograms.

Compared with previous years, the price of musk purchased by medicinal companies and purchasing stations has increased a lot.

Lu Lu still chose to store it in glass bottles and wax seals, and continued to wait. This was no different from storing gold. The further back, the higher the price. At the end, synthetic musk can reach [-] kilograms. , and natural musk can cost millions per kilogram.

It costs 500 yuan per gram, which is much more cost-effective than the current 90 yuan per tael.

Once these things were done, Lu Lu was free again.

Not long after, there was a light snowfall, and the prey used for breeding in the hunting ground were almost there. Several people did not go into the mountains anymore. It was getting cold, so they all stayed at home and occasionally visited each other to have a drink. It is really comfortable to no longer have to think about working hard in the mountains in the cold weather, and to stay at home without any worries.

Lu Lu, who had nothing to do, once again took out the birch bark accumulated in late spring from the warehouse, and began to play with the gadgets made of birch bark, or pick up the carving knife and learn the carving skills.

Chen Xiuyu called Pu Guiying, Wang Yan and others to prepare the sticky bean buns and frozen dumplings that must be made every year, and to store various vegetables in the cellar.

She feeds chickens and pigs every day, and when she has nothing to do, she takes her daughter, needle and thread, to look for playmates to make coats and shoes for chatting.

A very ordinary farm life begins here.

In the blink of an eye, it was December 21st. Lu Lu, who had always remembered this time, had dinner in the evening and watched TV for a while. When the couple was lying on the bed, Minato naturally pulled his arm over to pillow the girl who was huddled in his arms. Chen Xiuyu blew into her ear: "Tomorrow is the winter solstice."

"Well... I'm going to eat dumplings tomorrow. I'm preparing them."

Chen Xiuyu nodded slightly, thinking that Lu Lu was talking about the custom of eating dumplings every winter solstice.

"No, I have to go out tomorrow. It may take four or five days."

Lu Lu did not forget to arrange a meeting time with Liu Dongye: "I'm going to meet an acquaintance and take a trip to the Qitai River."

"only you?"

Chen Xiuyu turned around, supported it with her hands, and looked at Lu Lu worriedly.

"Yeah, it's just me!"

"Who is it?"

"We met when we were in Shanghai. Even if I told you, you wouldn't know. We met by chance last time in the city. He is now working as a worker in the coal mine on the other side of the Qitai River and asked me to go there. You also know , I don’t have many acquaintances in the wilderness anymore.”

Lu Lu naturally made up an excuse: "It's just a trip. I'll be back in a few days!" "Did you lie to me?" Chen Xiuyu asked in disbelief.

"Why did I lie to you? If I was thinking about going hunting or something, I would have made an appointment with Brother Feng and the others. From now on, I will accompany you and the children, and stay at home with Maodong... No, I have to wait until I come back. Go out and catch some fish and come back. There is no excuse for not having fish during the Chinese New Year.

The cranes in the meadow have hatched four little cranes this year. The river is frozen, and the few fish in the water bubbles alone are not enough for them to eat. Let's get some to feed the cranes and Yuanbao.There are more than a dozen dogs. It seems that the bellies of white dragons and leopards have grown bigger. They should also give birth to pups in winter. If they don’t go hunting, they can’t miss out on food. Rice and noodles every day won’t do. "

Their cubs should be the offspring of Heizui, Qinglang, Black Tiger, and the two Oroqen hounds from Zhao Yongke's family. Anyway, they are just messing around, and Lu Lu can't control them, especially the black tiger, whether they are close relatives or not. Can't live.

In the blink of an eye, there were many more puppies in the yard.

We can only choose when the time comes.

In the future, we have to control the dog breeding thing.

However, Lu Lu was not worried about whether they would stay or go.

Once the hunting ground is built, Lu Lu believes that the fierceness of the Northeastern giant stupid dogs and Oroqen hounds will also become a beautiful landscape.

"I estimate that when I get there, I will wander around the nearby mountains, hunt wild animals and other things, and participate in the tooth festival. I will take Zhui Feng and Yuan Bao and drive there together."

"It's really just four or five days, no more, otherwise I'll be worried!"

"alright!"

The next morning, Chen Xiuyu got up early and cooked a bowl of dumplings for Lu Lu. After eating, she watched Lu Lu put on hunting clothes and led Zhui Feng into the car. After Yuan Bao also led him up, he closed the back door panel and pulled it up. Tarpaulin, send Lu Lu away.

The semi-automatic and the bullet bag were placed in the tool box on the cab seat. Lu Lu drove the car towards the department store in the city.

When he arrived at the door, he looked around for a while, but Liu Dongye was nowhere to be seen. Lu Lu couldn't help but frown slightly: "Could he be deceiving me?"

He waited for a long time without giving up. Seeing that it was almost noon and there was still no sign of Liu Dongye, Lu Lu cursed in his heart and prepared to turn back.

Just as he turned around and walked back, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Liu Dongye walking out of a hotel on the left side of the building, yawning and stretching. He quickly stepped on the brake to stop the car, put it in neutral, and turned on the car. He jumped down from the car door and walked towards Liu Dongye.

"Why are you coming out now? If you don't come, I will go back." Lu Lu stepped forward and said, "I've been waiting here for more than two hours."

Liu Dongye said with an apologetic smile: "Sorry, sorry, I just came here from Yakeshi yesterday. It was already midnight when I got here by car. I found a hotel to stay. I was so tired that I overslept all of a sudden. If I hadn't thought about it, Why should I go through the trouble of promising you something? I’m still thinking about whether you just said it casually and whether you could take it seriously.”

After saying that, he looked Lu Lu up and down and said with a smile: "I also got a roe deer skin hunting suit to wear, which is quite decent."

"I borrowed it. I heard someone said that you should wear this when you go to the mountains. It is warm and convenient." Lu Lu made nonsense words casually in front of Liu Dongye.

Liu Dongye pursed his lips and pointed to the parked car on the roadside: "Your car?"

"I borrowed it from a forestry farm. It's an old car. I just wanted it to be convenient when I was on the road."

"What's in the car?"

"It's nothing, just a big stupid dog and a horse, which are also borrowed. I have seen Oroqen people hunting in the mountains, riding horses and leading dogs. Since we are going hunting, we can't do without these. "

"Do you have that gun?"

"I spent a little money to borrow a five-six-and-a-half from the security director, and also bought some bullets."

"Okay, that's very thoughtful. It seems like you really want to hunt. You can borrow everything, so it's a good excuse!"

Lu Lu scratched his head honestly: "After all, it's an opportunity for me to make a comeback. If I am looked down upon by others again, my life will be unbearable. But I have to think more carefully... Should we leave now?"

"Okay, wait while I get the guy!"

Liu Dongye returned upstairs to the hotel. Not long after, he came down carrying a canvas bag and a gun wrapped in a sack. Lu Lu took a glance and guessed that it was also a Type [-] semi-automatic rifle.

Seeing him buying pancakes from a roadside stall, Lu Lu hurriedly followed him and helped pay for them. He also bought two and ate them himself. He was extremely attentive.

"Actually, there are a lot of prey in the mountains here. Why do we have to go as far as the Qitai River?"

"I'm familiar with the terrain over the Qitai River. If I want to go there, I have to go to the Qitai River. Hunting requires the right time, place and people. It's difficult to go to an unfamiliar place!"

"It makes sense. You still have experience. A novice is a novice after all. There is no comparison!"

"Idiot!" Seeing Lu Lu's eager look, a smile flashed across Liu Dongye's lips and he muttered softly.

"What do you say?"

"Nothing, I mean you are very good. If you study hard, you will be a good hunter."

"Then you have to teach me more!"

"Good talk!"

Lu Ludang entered the cab first, and watched Liu Dongye go around the front of the car and come up from the other side. He thought to himself: "You can call me a fool. You will look good when we get to the mountains... Qitai River, it's better to be far away!" "
