Chapter 115
The wall hits.
Because of the deep foundation and the criss-cross wooden fence, it seems that it hit this piece, but in fact the force is shared by the entire wooden fence, so no matter how hard you use it, the wooden fence will not shake.The only thing to worry about is the breaking of the wooden poles that make up the wooden fence.
However, this is an iron tree, which is extremely hard. It is not a knife made of stone crabs, and it cannot destroy the iron tree at all.
Qiang Zi nodded: "Okay, let's talk in detail later, why is your sheep so wet?"
"Something happened," Li Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk about it in detail, and repeated her negligence, which almost wiped out the negligence of the sheep. "Mr. Jiang, do you think I have anything to add here?"
If I really want to talk about the way of raising sheep, I can’t finish talking about it in a day and a night. However, due to the current situation, even if I talk about the owner Li, I can’t do it.gone."
Qiang Zi brought people here to help Li Xiaoxiao take better care of the sheep. Now that he has finished reading, he will naturally have to leave. Professor Jiang also has a heavy burden. He is currently studying a subject of sheep and radiation. If he hadn't found the sheepThe person is Li Xiaoxiao, and the camp really won't send anyone here.
"Then we'll go back first."
Li Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something: "By the way, which of these sheep are male and which are female?"
There must be rams among the big sheep, otherwise, how could there be lambs? She intends to eat the rams, since they won’t grow meat anyway. As for breeding, there are large animals like sheep and pigs in the patrol camp.There is no sale under control, and they cannot be bought by private farmers.
She has no complaints about this. Thinking back to when she was in the underground base before, the festivals were the only days when they could eat meat, and they were also the few memorable sweetness in their hard life. It was these animals that were controlled by her.He wanted to raise large livestock, but he wouldn't make the whole city deprived of meat.
When the sheep are in heat, just ask the patrol battalion to rent out the breeding sheep.
She remembers studying biology when she was a child, and said that there were many problems with consanguineous marriages, and that sheep are also mammals, which are similar to people's guesses. Asking the patrol camp to rent them can avoid this problem.
Jiang Hongkuo pointed to the black-haired sheep and said, "Well, rams have large, spiral-shaped horns, while ewes have pentagonal or smaller horns, which are the most recognizable. Second, rams have tear grooves and protruding nasal bones."
Li Xiaoxiao took a notebook to write it down, and there was nothing to ask afterwards, she asked everything she could think of, and if she encountered problems in the breeding process in the future, just call and ask Jiang Hongkuo.
A group of people walked along the bluestone road to the wooden house.
Li Xiaoxiaoyan made a mistake again by over-plucking. Taking advantage of the rare opportunity, she asked the human expert: "For rabbits and chickens, does Mr. Jiang have any suggestions?"
Qiang Zi was helpless: "Don't make trouble, Professor Jiang is an expert on sheep."
She felt that she was Meng Lang. If Mr. Jiang didn't know about these things, wouldn't it be embarrassing? Just as she was about to say something, she heard the other party say, "Specific problems need to be analyzed in detail. Let's look at rabbits, chickens and ducks first."Case."
What a gentle professor!
Li Xiaoxiao immediately led the way: "Okay, this way."
Rabbits, chickens and ducks are her experience in raising rabbits and chickens for a long time. Mr. Jiang went to the chicken coop first, and when he saw chickens wearing glasses, he praised her: "I discovered something before, your observation ability is very strong., people have a careful mind, chickens are fierce and aggressive, they will suppress the same kind of people who are not as strong as themselves, and even peck their companions blindly, pecking at their flesh and blood."
Li Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with the wooden fence, so she picked up the sickle to cut the weeds in the sheep pen. just cut off a batch yesterday, and now it grows again. really want to plant wheatgrass and replace the weeds, otherwise will be like this all day long.Who can stand mowing the grass.
Such a large piece of land, she hadn't mowed it when it was time to eat, but she was sweating from the heat, and it was useless to wear a bamboo hat.
She looked at the sky, the sun was shining brightly, it was really evil, it was almost October, and the weather was still so hot, it hadn't rained for almost a month, and the water level of the stream next to it had dropped a lot,She was a little worried that after a while, the water level would drop so low that the waterwheel would not be able to turn.
In this way, the water used to irrigate the farmland is gone, and there is no water wheel to drive it. How does she grind soybeans and cotton seeds and extract oil?
Professor Jiang asked her to feed the sheep soybean meal and cotton meal. She patted her chest and said that there must be no problem, and she must have fed the sheep well, but she failed to do so on the back foot, which is too embarrassing.
Because the weather was really too hot, Su Qing was worried that those who worked in the sun would come out of the textile workshop and give them iced watermelons.
Li Xiaoxiao sat on the bluestone road, gnawed on the cool watermelon, the pores all over her body opened, the heat dissipated immediately, and she felt extremely comfortable and not sticky, but she stared at the sky and was a little worried.
Why is it still not raining.
Chapter 89
At noon, Li Xiaoxiao woke up after sleeping, feeling full of energy, and it was no problem to kill a hundred sheep, so she decided to shave her own sheep.
It's just that this valiant and high-spirited determination was exhausted before it even left the door.
She'd better find someone to hold the sheep down, Li Xiaoxiao thought disheartenedly, so as not to be kicked to the bone by the sheep, after all, large herbivores are quite powerful, and being hoofed is no joke.
Li Xiaoxiao originally wanted to find Li Bo. After all, Brother Mo was working on Han Wudong's chicken glasses order. She didn't want to disturb her, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Brother Mo said he was free, and Li Bo walked away silently.
The two of them walked side by side to the sheepfold. They walked this road with Qiang Zi and the others in the morning, and they didn't feel much. It was different when they walked with Brother Mo. She always felt uncomfortable in her hands and feet, justI couldn't even breathe comfortably.
She didn't know what Brother Mo was thinking. The latter tilted his head and touched the back of his neck, looking at the grass and trees on the other side.
Li Xiaoxiao guessed that he might not be very comfortable. He didn't move so much when he walked with Brother Mo before, and he was a little unhappy on the other side. He thought that he didn't even look at him after walking together for so long.Is it because I didn't make him angry just now?
In the sheepfold, Chen Mo called her: "Xiao Xiao."
When Li Xiaoxiao turned her head, she found that Brother Mo had already pressed a sheep with a piece of plastic film under it, waiting for her to come over and put on the scissors.
She went over with the big scissors and squatted behind the sheep. This place was not easy to be kicked by the sheep. In addition, the sheep's head was pressed tightly by Brother Mo, so there was no need to worry about being bumped by the sheep.
Li Xiaoxiao first determined the thickness of the wool with her hands. She grabbed it casually, but she didn't catch the sheep's meat, but a hand full of wool. She hesitated and stretched her hand in. The wool seemed to be bottomless.The hole, fully covering her forearm, shocked her.
The fur is too thick. No wonder this group of sheep will suffer from heat stroke after a little exposure to the sun. How did they survive the previous summer, soaking in water all day?
She pawed and pulled hard inside, peeling away layer after layer of hair, and finally she could see the pink flesh.
Li Xiaoxiao originally wanted to cut one-third of the length, but now it feels like cutting off one-half, the sheep is probably still hot enough.
She was going to shave the sheep from top to bottom. She first grabbed a curl of hair under the sheep's neck. She thought that the sheep would struggle hard when the cold iron was attached to it, but in the end...laughed to death, she couldn't feel where the scissors were at all.
Just like Teacher Tony, she used her index finger and middle finger to hold a lock of sheep's wool and straightened it, then cut it from the middle, and the wool fell on the plastic film. After cutting, she immediately picked up the film and poured the wool into the bag, It’s such a hassle not to pick it up.
Originally, she thought that the five sheep could be sheared well in one afternoon, but who knew that after an hour or so of shearing, none of the sheep were sheared. To be precise, only the back and neck were cut, and the belly and limbs were not yet cut.
It seems that one afternoon is only enough to shear one and a half sheep...
Li Xiaoxiao was still worried about being kicked when she cut the right hind leg of the sheep, so Brother Mo showed her his hand, expressing that it was pressed very tightly, don't worry, Li Xiaoxiao naturally believed in him, and she no longer hesitated when she cut the scissors.Thinking of the sheep being rubbed and rubbed without struggling, his eyes narrowed slightly, probably because he felt comfortable after the wool was cut off.
It's comfortable. Li Xiaoxiao doesn't feel well. Let alone shearing sheep is physical work. Why does she feel itchy? She scratched her arm and asked Brother Mo to turn the sheep over and continue to cut the other side.Based on experience, the sheep will not be completely sheared until after three o'clock.
She stood up and stretched her legs, and saw Brother Mo pulling the sheep up. The sheep had lost a lot of weight, only half of its previous size. Standing with other chubby sheep with protruding bellies, the contrast was very strong.
Sheep had probably never been so relaxed before. He stood up and trotted around twice, and almost hit the pillar without braking.
Li Xiaoxiao looked at the thick pile of wool on the plastic film, lifted it up and weighed it, good guy, it weighs at least twenty catties.
So much wool is a surprise. It can be made into woolen gloves, scarves, and sweaters. It’s perfect for winter, and it’s no problem to make woolen blankets. She actually likes to sleep naked, especially naked..The feeling of bare skin rubbing against the soft quilt, the blanket made of this wool must be very comfortable.
While arranging the use of wool, she scratched her back, why did she feel more and more itchy, and her stomach also started to itch?
At this moment, a broad and rough hand came up, and her hand shrank from the heat. The latter firmly held her tightly, and all kinds of thoughts in Li Xiaoxiao's mind disappeared, and all her thoughts were on Brother Mo's.hand, but it didn't take long to reach the sheepfold.
...Why is this road so short?
Li Xiaoxiao glanced at Brother Mo, looking at the tall and smooth bridge of the nose, she didn't really want to let go, and so did Chen Mo, so the two foolishly held hands in the sun for a long time on a hot day.
It wasn't until there were footsteps that she woke up like a dream, and pulled Brother Mo tightly into the sheepfold.
Master Li came to collect the tools, and Xiao Xiao handed over the processing of iron trees and bamboo tiles to the patrol camp. Mr. Chen handled it quickly and with high results, but he was only one person after all, and the patrol camp owed them a large amount of sweet potato noodles from the farm., it needs to be spent to turn it into real benefits, Xiao Xiao simply handed over the processing of parts to the patrol battalion, and Mr. Chen is responsible for the assembly.
He glanced at his little daughter, and subconsciously said with concern: "Why are you so red in the face, do you have heatstroke?"
It’s okay if Master Li doesn’t say anything, Xiao Xiao choked when he said that, and started to cough violently, which made him out of breath. He walked over quickly, and then found that Mr. Chen’s ears were also red, and his steps stopped immediately, leaving here winkingly, and handing over the place to the young man.
He didn't expect to be so caring, and he was stopped by Li Xiaoxiao, an unlucky child. He wanted to pretend he didn't hear it, but Xiao Xiao chased him over, his eyes were so iron, and his face was full of wood.
Li Xiaoxiao: "???"
She suppressed her doubts, and tried her best to show her composure: "Uncle Li, please find Da Bo later, and go to Chashan Farm later to pay the commission of those two."
When asked for the address before, said it was a deposit. If found out later, would give them a commission based on the size of the discovery.
Master Li responded, turned around and left.
Li Xiaoxiao watched him rubbing his elbows, thinking about rheumatism.
After learning from Li Bo that Uncle Li had rheumatism, she asked the patrol battalion how to dehumidify when she came back. Qiang Zi said that he could prepare it for her, but he didn't send it so soon.
Chen Mo didn't continue to tie up the sheared sheep. The wooden fence was already done. He was not afraid of the sheep running out, so he let it wander in the sheepfold. He went to catch the big ram, but the little one waved at him.
"Catch the other big ewe. If this male is going to be killed for meat, there's no need to shave it. Hiss, it's so itchy."
For a person like Li Xiaoxiao whose ligaments can be pulled apart, she can catch any itches on her back, but this time it is really itchy, the more she scratches, the more itchy she wants to rub against the rough bark.
Chen Mo frowned, grabbed her arm and looked sideways.
Li Xiaoxiao was bluffed by Brother Mo's actions first, and before she could open her mouth, she noticed two particularly large red and swollen bumps on her arms, which looked particularly ferocious compared to the surrounding snow-white skin.
"what is this?!"
She only felt a tightness on her back, and wanted to touch it, but was stopped by Brother Mo, and then the familiar itching came, and she immediately realized that her back was itchy, and she must have such a big swelling.
She is no stranger to such swollen bumps. It was obviously bitten by fleas. When was in the underground base, the environment was poor and the population was dense. Everyone couldn't take a bath. It was a good time to raise parasites. Among them, what she hated the most wasflea.
Because she is allergic to fleas, once she was bitten, it would itch for at least a week. The more she scratched and the more itchy, she could only endure it, but when she turned over at night, and the rough clothes scratched her bag, she would itch so badly that it hurt her.Waking up itchy, life is miserable.
But there is no way, fleas can be killed as long as you take a bath frequently and change your clothes and bedding frequently. It's such a simple thing, and she has no conditions to do it, she just endures it with willpower.
After coming to the farm, she could scrub by herself first, and later she had a separate shower room. After a long time without being harassed by fleas, she almost forgot about such a scourge.
Li Xiaoxiao really jumped up and ran to the farm: "It's a flea, it must have jumped from the sheep, I'll go back and take a bath first!"
She almost rushed into the room, dug out her clean clothes, carried a wooden bucket into the bathroom, did not take off her clothes first, but filled the wooden bucket with water, took off her clothes and soaked them in,Then I started to take a shower.
She has been entangled with fleas for a long time, so she knows how difficult it is to kill them. Sometimes the fleas are still alive after the clothes are washed, and the clothes that were worn once last year will be worn this year, and the fleas in them are still alive.Be tenacious.
It must be soaked in water for an hour in this way before the damn thing can be killed.
Chen Mo repeated: "Which of these two is more effective?"
She was a little flustered. She patronized Brother Mo just now. Who still remembers itching? At this time, people's experience is very important. Although she is young, she has experienced enough things. Although she was caught off guard by the question, she quickly calmed down., Feel the feeling of applying two kinds of medicine.
"The brown one is more comfortable, what is it?"
Chen Mo: "The slough of the iron tree cicada."
Although iron tree cicadas are also silver-white, they were black when they first came out of the ground, so the shells that shed are also black.
Li Xiaoxiao immediately felt distressed. The number of iron tree cicada sloughs is very small, and the effect is great. It can cure general poisons, including some terrible snake poisons and insect poisons. Is it too good to be used for flea poisons? The previous patrol camp charged a high priceBuying from her, she was not willing to sell too much.
Good steel should be used on the knife edge.
Chen Mo disagreed: "It's the right time to solve your allergy problem, Xiao Xiao, let's collect the cicadas tomorrow."
Hearing Brother Mo's insistence and even a bit angry tone, she didn't refuse, and silently let the small half bowl of cicada slough be smeared on other swollen bumps on her body. As for the bumps on the private parts like the back, she applied it herself.
While applying it, she also counted the swollen bumps that she had been bitten out, and there were as many as thirteen. She scolded the flea for being hungry and crazy, and only grabbed her wool like this when she was caught by a sheep.
But whatever you scold, Li Xiaoxiao knows that it was just bitten by a flea. If there is a group of fleas, according to her experience, the swollen bag will have at least thirty. It seems that there are not many fleas on the sheep.They were all close to the wool, and only one flea jumped over.
Good things really have a good reason.
The flea bites that tortured her to death in the past, after applying the cicada slough, it stopped itching immediately, not to worry about the swelling on the clothes, even if it did touch it, it would not itch, the iron tree cicada slough is really a good thing.
It was too late to know today, and didn't dare to go to the good time when the iron tree cicada crawled out of the ground and molted its shell. Next year, she will definitely remember the time. Once the iron tree cicada larva crawls out, she will pick up the cicada slough as soon as possible, and bring meat.The bees pick it up together,
