Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

"I'll give it to you."

Qin Xifeng didn't say much. He sent Tie Li and others to the edge of the closed area, then turned and returned home.

"Tieli and the epidemic prevention team are gone?"

At lunch, Atik asked casually.

"Yes, they have withdrawn to the county. Generally speaking, they are very lucky this time. No one was infected. Even Xiao Jiangke is fine."

During this round of epidemic, many herdsmen have suffered considerable losses, but fortunately they are fine.

Qin Xifeng felt very relieved that his hard work not in vain some time ago.

The herdsman has slowly developed some good habits, and he will continue to teach everyone about common sense in hygiene and epidemic prevention.

"Life will not be easy for many people this year, but what can be done? The county can provide some subsidies, but it is only a drop in the bucket..."

Atik felt very powerless. Last time Gulidan's livestock suffered losses, he could still do a little bit.

But this time so many people in Murakami have suffered losses, what can he do?

Nothing can be done.

"Abba, life will get better eventually, don't think too much about it."

Qin Xifeng is an optimist. Life is difficult but it is difficult to survive. Can he still find a way to save himself by giving birth?

After dinner, he rode on horseback to find Lao Zhangtou.

90% of the herdsmen in the village are of the same race. Although Lao Zhangtou belongs to the 10% minority, he is very popular and can talk to everyone.

"Uncle Zhang, I have some small work over there, how about you help me find a few people?"

Qin Xifeng plans to start construction tomorrow and install the harmless treatment tank for feces as soon as possible. Because he needs to dig a hole, he plans to find some helpers.

"Okay, everyone is very busy recently, and we have as many people as you need. Mengzi, you can also go and help tomorrow, so you won't have to worry about shouting all day long."

After this epidemic, Qin Xifeng's prestige among herders has increased significantly.

Lao Zhangtou then went around the village and immediately found three good young men. I heard that they were helping Qin Xifeng work, and everyone was very active.

The next day.

Zhang Meng and three other young herders came to see Qin Xifeng early in the morning.

Qin Xifeng has already chosen the location. The harmless treatment tank for feces will be built between the corral and Atik's yurt.

It's not too far from Qin Xifeng's residence.

"There are three pits in total, descending in steps. I drew the markings yesterday, so you can start working as I told you."

This piece of land is not flat, but a gentle slope.

The feces harmless treatment tank is divided into three parts, which have a natural descending angle when connected together. It is most suitable to build them here.

"Okay, Brother Xifeng, you can do your work and leave this place to us."

Zhang Meng and others understood Qin Xifeng's request and immediately started working. The temperature has returned to above freezing, so digging holes is not difficult.

As long as you have the strength, you can do it.

"I'm sorry to bother you, brothers."

Qin Xifeng didn't intend to do it himself. He then went back and boiled a pot of milk tea and brought it over for them to drink when they were thirsty.

After being busy until noon, Qin Xifeng took a few of them to Atik's side.

Grandma made hand-cooked rice. Zhang Meng and the others ate very deliciously and kept praising their grandmother for her skill. After eating, they rested for more than half an hour and then continued to work.

"Xifeng, you asked your elder brother to buy the flour and clear oil. He has already asked someone to bring them over. They are all here with me. I say, the idea you have is a good one, but it's a pity that it can't help too many people."

Atik understood his younger son's thoughts. In fact, Qin Xifeng could do the job of digging holes by himself, and it would take a few more days at most.

Qin Xifeng asked for help and did not discuss money. However, after the work was completed, Zhang Meng and the others would each receive a bag of flour and a pot of clear oil.

"You can count as many as you can. I still have some subsidies on hand from the cooperative units. I'll give them to grandma later."

The excuse of a cooperative unit is very useful, as it basically takes all the blame for Qin Xifeng.

"What do I need money for? You can keep it for yourself."

When my mother heard this, she immediately laughed. Having a little son, this sentence is better than anything else.

"Xifeng, tell me more about this methane pit. Is it dangerous?"

Atik also nodded secretly, then changed the topic and asked a lot of questions about the biogas pool.

At present, biogas digesters are not popular in mainland China, let alone remote plateau pastoral areas.

In about ten years, not only will the application of biogas be vigorously promoted in China, but there will even be a large subsidy for self-built biogas digesters.

Qin Xifeng sat in the yurt and chatted with his parents for more than an hour before getting up and going to the construction site.

"Brother Xifeng, will that kid Xiao Jiangke go to jail?"

Zhang Meng and others chatted about Xiao Jiangke while working. The story of Xiao Jiangke had spread in the village, and everyone knew that he was the culprit of this epidemic.

Seeing Qin Xifeng approaching, Zhang Meng asked.

"I don't know, but I will definitely be locked up for a while."

Qin Xifeng estimated that even if he was sentenced, it would not be very severe, and the sentence would be almost one year. However, he didn't really want to talk about this issue, and it would be bad to talk too much.

"Xifeng, can the biogas produced by your biogas tank really be used as fuel? Then wouldn't the cow dung be useless in the future?"

Another young herdsman was very curious about the biogas digester.

"Of course biogas can replace cow dung, but cow dung has the same uses as cow dung. This biogas can not only be used for cooking, but also for lighting lamps. It is much better than oil lamps..."

Qin Xifeng gave a few people a brief science popularization. Generally speaking, the level of education among the herdsmen was not high, and there were many people with little education.

Those who can finish high school like Qin Xifeng and Gu Lidan are even rarer.

In the afternoon, Qin Xifeng went to take a look at his own corral.

All the pregnant ewes gave birth to lambs. With his guidance and Mom and Dad’s careful care, the lamb survival rate this year has skyrocketed, and so far there has been no lamb death.

Excluding the 4 lambs given to Gulidan, there are still 23 lambs left in the family.

The total number of sheep has exceeded 80.

Qin Xifeng plans to wait until the weather gets warmer before trying to apply new technologies to artificially breed sheep.

The breeding period of sheep is generally from September to November. At other times, ewes rarely go into estrus.

However, manual intervention can be carried out through technical means. According to the technology mastered by Qin Xifeng, it is entirely possible to make ewes give birth to two babies a year.

night.

Gulidan came over to help with the cooking, and Zhang Meng and others went back after eating.

By the afternoon of the next day, three large pits with natural gradients were dug. Qin Xifeng gave Zhang Meng and others a bag of flour and a pot of clear oil each, and expressed his gratitude again and again.

A few of them helped to get all the equipment, and then they happily returned to the village carrying flour and oil.

The next day.

Qin Xifeng started the installation alone.

Installing these components is as simple as building blocks.

The first step is to lay the leak-proof layer. The next step is to install the bottom panel and side panels, and then apply glue to all the gaps.

The biogas tank must also be equipped with a conduit interface to export biogas, and a solar heating device (constant temperature 45 degrees) must be installed.

The high-temperature killing part also needs to install a solar heating device (constant temperature 72 degrees). The organic fertilizer storage part is the simplest, as long as there is no leakage, it will be successful.

Three parts are equipped with material valves to facilitate flow control after loading. There are also safety valves to ensure appropriate gas concentration.

The last step is to install the feed inlet, sealing layer and cover plate, and it's done.
