Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

It's approaching noon.

Qin Xifeng went to the village.

The master engineer did not disappoint him. Under the guidance of the two men, two large pits of biogas digesters have already taken shape.

"Xifeng, come and drink some milk tea."

The aunts in the village were very enthusiastic, and several of them brought milk tea, ready to reward the people who worked hard. But when they saw Qin Xifeng, they poured all their enthusiasm on him.

"Thank you Aunt Firuz...Thank you Aunt Gulizba..."

Qin Xifeng took a bowl of milk tea from Aunt Feiruzi's hand, and then thanked all the aunts one by one.

The local folk customs are simple and have a custom of respecting women. Especially for older women, you need to be extra polite.

Otherwise you will be criticized.

"You guys are busy. The milk tea is on the floor. You can drink it while it's hot."

The aunts put down the teapot and bowls and left the construction site with a smile.

It happened that everyone was a little tired from working, so they stopped what they were doing, came over to drink a bowl of milk tea, and rest for a while.

Qin Xifeng took advantage of this time to tell everyone what they needed to pay attention to, and then turned and left.

After he has come up with the design plan, he doesn't want to worry too much about the construction. After the project is completed, he will just come to check and accept it.

After leaving the village entrance, he rode on his horse.

In Palpaha, there are actually many rules. For example, you are generally not allowed to ride in the village, and you must not ride through the herdsmen's corrals...etc.

There is nothing wrong with the fact that the soil and water support the people.

Qin Xifeng whipped his horse up to the canyon. He dismounted and walked around the mountain. The border patrol did not always have to reach the mountain pass. There were only so many roads down the mountain. It was okay to check the situation randomly.

By the time he came down from the mountain, the sun had already set.

"Xifeng, go to the corral and take a look. The ewes you experimented with are all restless. Did your experiment succeed?"

After returning to his yurt, before even taking a sip of water, Atik's call came.

"Abba, I'll go right away."

Qin Xifeng quickly rode to the corral again, where Atik was waiting for him.

He immediately went to check on the condition of the 10 ewes, and then said happily and helplessly: "Abba, this is obviously the ewe starting to go into heat. You don't understand, so why are you asking me?"

"Hey, aren't I afraid of making a mistake? Our sheep always breed once a year (one litter). Who knew your experiment was so effective?"

Atik smiled sheepishly. Of course he could tell the ewe's condition, but he just couldn't believe it.

Qin Xifeng then went to check on the Kirk sheep. It seemed to have smelled the smell emanating from the ewe and was constantly digging the soil under its feet with its front hooves.

"It's done!"

Qin Xifeng immediately pulled Atik out of this area. After a while, the Kirk sheep began to climb across, and everything was perfect.

"Uncle Atik, West Wind, what are you looking at?"

The two of them may have been too immersed in the observation. Gulidan's voice came from behind, and Atik and Qin Xifeng realized that someone was coming.

"Ahem, I didn't see anything. Xifeng, you and Gulidan go for a walk and come home for dinner in the evening."

After all, Atik is an elder and it is not easy to continue this topic.

Although such things are common in pastoral areas, there are some things that are not convenient to discuss with an older girl, so he quickly sent Qin Xifeng and Gulidan away together.

When Gulidan arrived, he also realized that his question was a bit abrupt.

She and Qin Xifeng rode side by side. They were silent for a while, but still couldn't hold back their curiosity: "Xifeng, this season is not the breeding season for sheep. What's going on with your sheep?"

"It's nothing, it's just artificial intervention in the breeding of livestock..."

Qin Xifeng roughly talked about the technology of artificial intervention, and later on the technology of artificial insemination. These technologies can greatly increase the reproductive rate of livestock.

The economic benefits of extensive grazing methods like this local one are still too poor.

"Xifeng, you know so much!"

Gu Lidan actually wanted Qin Xifeng to talk more. It would be better if the other party was willing to teach him this technology!

All the wealth of herdsmen is concentrated in livestock. To determine whether a herdsman is rich, it does not care how much savings you have, but how many cattle, sheep and horses you have.

Gulidan's family is not rich. If the reproduction rate of livestock can be increased, then...it would be wonderful to think about it!

"Gulidan, I'm still in the experimental stage now. When this technology matures, if you are willing to learn it, I can hand it over to you."

The medicines rewarded by the system are limited, but there are similar medicines at the veterinary station. They may be quite different in efficacy, but they can still be used.

The technology for artificial intervention in livestock reproduction has long been available, and what Qin Xifeng currently has mastered is only a little advanced.

It’s not impossible to teach Gulidan.

"real?"

Gulidan turned to look at Qin Xifeng. Her face was half shy and half expectant, and she looked particularly beautiful.

This made Qin Xifeng feel dazed for a moment.

"real!"

Qin Xifeng gave an affirmative answer.

"I'm going to help your grandma cook. If Uncle Atik wants to keep me at your house for dinner, I won't be polite..."

Gulidan laughed happily, then sped up and rushed towards the yurt of Qin Xifeng's father and mother.

In the evening, we had milk porridge, air-dried meat and butter naan bread, but there were two extra dishes: cold spinach and cold shredded potatoes.

Gu Lidan, like Qin Xifeng, loves cold dishes.

Atik and Grandma found it difficult to understand. In their opinion, only dairy products and meat are the best foods.

After eating, Gulidan helped her mother clean up, then stood up and left.

Qin Xifeng went to see them off, and when he came back, he went to the corral. After observation, he was able to confirm that all 10 ewes had entered estrus.

The Kirk sheep are not idle either, and the final result will depend on whether the ewe can become pregnant.

The estrus period of ewes is very short, usually only 17 days. If you miss this period, you have to wait until autumn.

"Starting tomorrow, we will add some nutrition to these experimental sheep..."

Qin Xifeng left the corral, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Artificial intervention in livestock reproduction is feasible, and he decided to promote it among his own flocks in a few days, striving to have a good harvest this year.

The next day.

The first thing he does when he opens his eyes in the morning is to listen to the weather report.

The temperature has gradually increased recently and the weather has been sunny, which is a sign that summer is about to enter.

Strictly speaking, the Palpaha area has only two seasons a year, winter and summer. The winter that lasts for more than half a year is cold and long, and there is almost no transition from winter to summer.

After listening to the weather forecast, Qin Xifeng got up and started washing, and then went to feed the falcon.

Although Falcon is not yet an adult, he has a big appetite. Most of the meat his grandma gave him was fed to this guy.

It is impossible for a herdsman to slaughter sheep every day. If this continues, he really has to think of a way to do it.
