Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

Successfully catching a pair of otters gave Xu Shiyan a little more confidence in his future breeding.

Of course, it also added a lot of things to his ginseng career. Every day, he had to go to the river to catch fish and shrimps, and come back to feed the two otters.

Xu Shiyan only caught this pair of otters, and didn't catch any more after that.

The main reason is that he doesn't have much confidence in otter breeding. Everything is in the process of exploring the rules, so he can only try to raise two first.

If it gets too much at once, he won't be able to take care of it, and it would be a pity to raise it to death.

A few days later, Xu Shiyan went for a walk on the mountain, and accidentally caught another sable.

It happens to be a male, and there can only be a couple with the one at home.

But this thing is timid, and it takes a long time to recover after being frightened.

Moreover, sables usually live alone, so Xu Shiyan didn't dare to put two sables in one cage rashly, so he had to lock them up separately and put the two cages next to each other.

There were several small animals all of a sudden, and the ginseng house was not suitable for breeding.

There was no way, Xu Shiyan cleaned up the warehouse and reserved it as a place for breeding.

For the time being, he could only do this, and wait for the weather to warm up after a while, and then he would find another way to resettle the animals.

Since the addition of these animals, Xu Shiyan's daily workload has also increased.

Not only do they have to catch fish and shrimp, but they also need to use traps and traps to get some meat for the two sables to eat.

Sables are omnivores, and their food is mainly small birds and animals, as well as some pine nuts, berries, and insects.

In order to raise them, Xu Shiyan also spent a lot of brainpower, and specially made a batch of mouse traps to catch mice to feed the sables.

In addition to these, Xu Shiyan also went to the south of the Xiaohei River to shovel snow and place bait in a forest that had just been felled for a few years.

The bait was specially prepared for deer. It contained a lot of salt, and there were some bran and bean cakes, all of which were prepared according to the deer's favorite taste.

Deer like to eat bark, branches, and leaves.

In the felled forest, some branches will re-emerge from the roots of the trees, which is the favorite of deer.

Xu Shiyan had hunted deer here before, but now, he came up with another way.

Put the bait in the snow, and then blow the horn made of birch bark, and gradually, the deer will be attracted.

The herd of deer will hang around here from time to time when they find salty and delicious bait.

From now on, every time Xu Shiyan puts bait, he will blow the horn to call the deer, and the deer will come and go. Those deer are used to it, and they will run this way when they hear the sound.

Nowadays, the most valuable thing about deer is the antler.

Others, such as deer heart, deer blood, deer tendon, deer fetus, etc., are not accepted by the buying station, and can only be kept for home use or given away.

The velvet antler has to wait until after the beginning of spring to grow to two short branches, and the quality is the best before it becomes ossified.

So Xu Shiyan didn't plan to kill the deer again, he had to find a way to attract the deer, and at that time, he would use medicine to stun the deer and cut the antler.

The resources in the mountains are gifts from nature, but they are by no means inexhaustible.

If it cannot be used rationally and blindly kills, it will only be exhausted and the resources will be exhausted in the end.

Hunting is not just to eat the meat, but more importantly, to create economic value.

Deer antlers are valuable, but killing a deer for two antlers, and after cutting off the antlers, the meat can only be eaten, which is obviously a bit of a waste.

It may be a better way to cut the antlers and sell them for money without harming the lives of the deer.

Of course, these are Xu Shiyan's wishful thinking, and it is very difficult to implement them in practice, but he is willing to try, what if it succeeds?

Busy and busy, the first month will soon pass, and the weather will gradually warm up. The young people of the second brigade have all gone up to the mountain to work.

Sun Xiaofeng, Huang Shengli and the others brought some food to Xu Shiyan every now and then, and Su Anying entrusted them to bring them here, for fear that Xu Shiyan would not be able to eat well and suffer on the mountain.

On this day, Xu Shiyan went to the second crop forest early in the morning to throw bait to attract deer.

As soon as he came back, he saw the team's carriage approaching, and a group of people jumped out of the carriage.

"Brother Xu, my uncle Xu has come up the mountain." Feng Chao was the first to jump out of the car and shouted at the top of his voice.

Xu Shiyan was stunned when he heard that, and hurried over. At this time, Sun Xiaofeng and Huang Shengli helped Xu Chenghou out of the carriage.

"Father, why did you come up the mountain?" The field work is done by strong young men, why is this old man still up here?

Xu Chenghou glanced at his third son, didn't say anything, just handed him the bag in his hand.

"Come on, let's go into the house and talk." At first glance, there is something wrong.

Xu Shiyan's heart skipped a beat, what happened at home? Surprised his father to come up the mountain?

Xu Shiyan didn't dare to ask, and followed behind his father, and the two of them entered the Kansan's small room.

As soon as he entered the room, the old man turned his head and stared at his son.

"Clean up and go home for two days. I'll watch the club for you on the mountain." Xu Chenghou suddenly said these two words.

"Ah? I'll go back, you watch for me? What?"

Xu Shiyan was immediately stunned, what happened at home, the father is not fair, and he needs to go down the mountain?

"What? What are you talking about? You don't know what you did when you went home during the Chinese New Year?

Yuanyuan is only eleven months old, and before weaning, your wife is pregnant again.

What a bastard you are, can't you hide a little bit? "

Seeing his son's masked expression, Xu Chenghou became even more angry, and kicked Xu Shiyan with his leg.

This bastard bastard left his grandson without milk, so he deserves a beating.

"Ah? Yingzi is pregnant again?" Xu Shiyan was dumbfounded, right? When did it happen?

Oh my god, my daughter-in-law's place is too good, it's really good food.

But is this too frequent? The eldest is only eleven months old, no, he went up the mountain on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and the eldest was only ten months old at that time.

Pregnant with the second child so early, can the daughter-in-law's body bear it?

"Father, help me watch it on the mountain for a day, I'll go home and have a look."

How can Xu Shiyan hold his breath right now? He had to go home quickly to see his wife and take her to the hospital for a physical examination.

It is not good for women to get pregnant too frequently, it will hurt the body.

"Nonsense, what did I come up for? Didn't I just come here to read for you? You bastard, you can make you mad every day."

Xu Chenghou rolled his eyes, feeling that his son was stupid as hell.

It's not for the sake of my son. He is so old, what the hell is he doing up the mountain?

"By the way, Dad, come here, I have to tell you something."

Fortunately, Xu Shiyan was not so dazed that he couldn't remember anything, so he quickly dragged Xu Chenghou to the warehouse, and showed Xu Chenghou the otters and sables.

"Father, I caught this, and I plan to raise it myself, and I have to feed all these open-mouthed beasts.

Did you see it? The fish in this bucket are fed to otters, and the pheasants, chickadees, and rats here are fed to sables.

There's nothing I can do now, I'll think about it after a while, and feed them the whole thing. "
