Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

"Brother, this sheep is for you... Also, here is a thousand yuan for you to take. Going to the provincial capital is expensive, so don't be too frugal."

Qin Xifeng walked to the yard, took out the 1,000 yuan he had prepared, and handed it to Zaren.

Zharen refused to take it, so Qin Xifeng had to put it into his sister-in-law's hand, then turned around and ran away. The eldest brother started working not long ago, and his salary is not high, so how can the family have much money?

"Hey, I have to take care of my parents, and I have to help us..."

Zharen and his wife stood at the door of the yard for a long time. It was not until Qin Xifeng's back disappeared that they returned to the house.

The afternoon of the next day.

Qin Xifeng drove 10 sheep and bought some daily necessities from the countryside and returned home. He first unloaded the purchased items outside Atik's yurt, and then went to the stable to settle the sheep and yaks.

At this time, Atik was not at home, and his grandmother was taking a nap. He put the things on the floor and piled them outside the yurt.

Afterwards, he returned to his residence.

"Abba, where are you?"

Qin Xifeng returned home, boiled a pot of milk tea, picked up the walkie-talkie and started calling Atik.

"Xifeng, are you back? I'm grazing on the east slope of the canyon entrance. What's the matter?"

Atik responded quickly.

"It's nothing, how about I replace you now?"

"No, you just came back from the countryside, so you should rest. Come back for dinner in the evening, and we will talk about other things after we meet."

The two immediately ended the call.

Qin Xifeng put down the walkie-talkie and took a few bites of butter naan bread while drinking milk tea. He ate something on the way at noon and was a little hungry by now.

After eating, he rested for a while and then took the little border sheep to help his grandma fetch water.

Water used at home must be fetched from the river. You can either carry it back with a bucket or lead a yak back with a water bladder.

It is indeed very inconvenient, but the locals have been doing this for generations.

"Gulidan, I'm back."

On the way to fetch water, Qin Xifeng called Gulidan.

"You're back so soon? I'm taking care of the lambs in the corral right now. I'll go find you when I'm done."

Gulidan usually does not need to go out to graze, but she and Qin Xifeng have learned a lot about animal husbandry, and they often take care of the livestock at home when they have time.

For example, monitoring livestock health and stable environment, caring for livestock cubs, etc.

She was very happy to hear that Qin Xifeng had returned from the countryside and planned to go see him after finishing the things at hand.

"Don't worry, I'll go get water for grandma first. You can go back and find me over there."

Qin Xifeng just wanted to say hello to Gulidan and had nothing else to do. He fetched water and then returned directly to his grandma's yurt.

There is a drinking water purification device here, and he needs to pour the returned water into it.

"Xifeng, you don't know how to rest when you come back. The water at home is enough. I will just fetch water tomorrow morning. You don't have to work so hard."

Grandma just woke up at this moment, and she felt a little distressed when she saw that Qin Xifeng was so busy right after he came back.

"Mom, it doesn't take much effort to fetch water. It's not hard work. I met my eldest brother and sister-in-law yesterday. They may be going to the provincial capital soon..."

Qin Xifeng smiled and shook his head, then helped his mother move everything outside the yurt into it.

"Yeah, they should go to the provincial capital to see a doctor."

Grandma has always been worried about this matter. Now that she heard that Zaren and his wife were going to the provincial capital to seek medical treatment, she couldn't help but feel full of hope.

She has long wanted to hold a grandson.

"Is Uncle Atik home?"

The mother and son were chatting in the yurt when shouts came from outside.

Qin Xifeng walked out and took a look, then smiled and said, "It's Director Wang. What gust of wind brought you here?"

"Which wind? Of course it's the east wind... You happen to be here, so I'm actually looking for you." Director Wang and Qin Xifeng are very familiar with each other. He didn't bother to enter the house, so he stood outside and talked: "The country plans to attack you."

There is a pilot project for dairy farming here, how about you take the lead?"

Economic development in plateau areas has always been a long-standing problem. The township had previously wanted to promote dairy farming, but the local herdsmen were accustomed to raising yaks, so the plan could not be implemented.

Recently, the trend of jade mining has started and people are excited, so the village plans to continue to implement this plan.

But the specific implementation is very particular. As I said before, it must have a demonstration effect rather than forced promotion.

After research, the township decided to pilot it in the village of Atik. The leader of the pilot was identified as Qin Xifeng. Who made him famous now?

Qin Xifeng graduated from high school, is educated, and is familiar with animal husbandry, veterinary medicine and other aspects of knowledge. He must be the leader.

"Xifeng, you are different from them. You know better. You must know that the cost of raising yaks is very high, but the meat yield and milk production are low. If everyone can get used to raising dairy cows, each household can increase their income per year.

It’s a lot of income.”

Seeing Qin Xifeng's silence, Officer Wang quickly added a few words.

"The village will not treat you badly as a leader. We plan to provide you with two high-quality brown cattle from the Western Regions for free. If you still want to continue to introduce them, we guarantee that we will give you the lowest price. What do you think, think about it? If you nod, I will do it right away.

I'll bring you two cows."

Officer Wang kept talking non-stop. If Qin Xifeng failed to pass this level, then he would not be able to carry out the rest of his work.

When Qin Xifeng heard about "Western Region Brown Cow", his first reaction was that the reward items had arrived on a scheduled delivery date! Otherwise, why would Director Wang specifically mention the word "free"?

"Well, how about I give it a try?"

Qin Xifeng had a plan in his mind and made a decision immediately.

It didn't matter whether he discussed this matter with Atik or not, he was too lazy to talk about it.

"Haha, that's right! You go to the corral and wait, I will bring you two cows. Xifeng, if you can set a good example and be the leader, you will have made a great contribution."

It seemed that Director Wang had never thought that the other party would refuse, otherwise he would not have killed her first and then told her the story, and just came directly with the two cows.

Qin Xifeng smiled and nodded, then went to the corral.

An hour later.

Qin Xifeng, Grandma, and Gulidan kept wandering around the two brown cows.

This cow, a male and a female, is an excellent breed specially bred by relevant units for plateau areas. It has a high milk production and can adapt to the alpine climate.

"Xifeng, you still have courage. No wonder the village wants you to be the leader."

After Gulidan finished his work, he came to see Qin Xifeng, but his mother said that he had gone to the corral, so the two of them came over together.

Mainly I want to see what the improved cows look like.

At first glance, this kind of cow is still very different from the previous "Black and White", both in body shape and appearance.

Raising a large number of dairy cows in alpine areas is risky. Relatively speaking, yaks are better able to adapt to the natural conditions of the plateau.

Qin Xifeng's family has always had four cows, and he didn't dare to raise more.

But from an economic point of view, the economic value of raising dairy cows will of course be higher.
