Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

"Xifeng, the instructor is here, and your father wants you to come over."

In the morning, he cooked a large bowl of noodles at home. After Qin Xifeng finished eating, he went to the corral.

Today he plans to drive the cattle and sheep for a walk in the mountains. The cattle and sheep that move frequently are not only in good health but also have more delicious meat. There has never been such a thing as "raising in captivity" in the local area.

But before he could set off, his grandma stopped him.

Grandma was responsible for taking care of the little lambs at home. When she came over, Liang Gang and several soldiers happened to arrive at the house.

"Okay, grandma, I'll go now."

Qin Xifeng nodded and immediately went to his father's and mother's yurt.

"Instructor, Tuhongjiang...are you here so early?"

He got off his horse outside the yurt, and when he entered the room, he saw Liang Gang, Tu Hongjiang and two other soldiers sitting on the carpet.

Atik stayed with them.

Qin Xifeng, Liang Gang, and Tu Hongjiang said hello. The other two soldiers were not familiar with them, but he also smiled and nodded at them.

"I passed by here on some business today and brought some yak meat to Uncle Atik and you."

Liang Gang did not hesitate and directly stated the purpose of his visit.

That day at Pass No. 5, several yaks stepped on traps and fell down and were injured.

The intact yaks were confiscated by the task force as tools for committing crimes, but the injured ones could not be disposed of, so they were handed over to the company for disposal.

Liang Gang and his men spent a lot of effort to get the injured yak back to the company, raised it for two days, and finally decided to slaughter it.

He discussed with the company commander and gave half a head of yak meat to Atik and Qin Xifeng.

"Thank you, instructor, for your hard work!"

Atik didn't refuse. If it had been sent by the task force, he might have considered it, but when it was sent by the company, he accepted it without hesitation.

"Xifeng, I just heard from Uncle Atik that construction of the biogas digester in the village has started? Come on, come with me to take a look, and then we should leave."

The company donated materials for the construction of biogas digesters to the village. Since the construction has now started, as the instructor, he should go and take a look.

"I'll go too."

Qin Xifeng stood up without saying a word.

Atik also wanted to take a look, so the father and son accompanied Liang Gang and the other four people to the construction site of the biogas tank.

At this time, a large pit had been completely dug, and the two big workers began to lead people to build the side walls. After the side walls were built, the bottom was built, and finally the top was completed.

"Xifeng, your progress is really fast! Okay, let's take a look. We still have something to do, so let's take the first step."

Liang Gang seemed to really have something to do. He walked around the construction site, chatted for a few words with the two big workers, and then left in a hurry with Tu Hongjiang and others.

Atik and Qin Xifeng stayed at the scene for a while, and then went to their own corrals.

"Xifeng, the instructor has brought so much yak meat, how can we finish it? Later, you can send some to your elder brother, I will keep some, and you can take the rest."

Zaren came to the river valley almost every day, so Atik gave his eldest son a quarter of the yak meat, kept a quarter for himself, and gave the remaining half to Qin Xifeng.

"Abba, why did you give me so much?"

Qin Xifeng was originally worried about the issue of meat, so having so much yak meat was certainly a good thing.

But now that the weather is getting warmer, and he doesn't have a refrigerator, it's hard to store so much meat, and it gives him a headache just thinking about it.

"You are young and consume a lot, so you can cook more and eat it. If you can't finish it, make it into dried meat. You can do this, right?"

Atik waited for his youngest son and said to himself, if you hadn't raised a falcon, I would have used all of it to make dried yak meat.

Qin Xifeng smiled and felt that his father must have known about the existence of Falcon, because he had never thought of hiding it from him at all.

"Abba, have you seen my falcon?"

"Well, I saw it a few days ago."

Atik replied calmly and stopped mentioning the matter.

In his opinion, Qin Xifeng could raise a falcon if he wanted to, and it would only consume one or two kilograms of meat every day. When the falcon is older and can hunt independently, the consumption will be negligible.

Adult falcons will prey on various birds and small animals, such as rabbits and rats.

It is also beneficial to bring a falcon with you when grazing. Falcons are actually very ferocious and can drive away raptors that are much larger than themselves.

These investments are still very cost-effective.

Qin Xifeng was happy and a little disappointed when he saw that Atik didn't ask anything.

Then he took the yak meat allocated to him back to his yurt, leaving ten kilograms of fresh meat, and planned to give some to Gulidan, Zhang Meng, Aunt Feiruzi and others, and planned to make the rest

Dried meat.

So, he first went to deliver meat to Gulidan and others. Then, he rode to several nearby villages to find Zaren.

Palpaha is a vast and sparsely populated area, and the villages are far apart. By the time he found Zaren, it was already afternoon and he didn't even have time to eat lunch.

"Xifeng, when I go back to my hometown, I will go to my father's place to get some. You haven't eaten yet? I still have two mantou in my bag. You should cushion them first."

Zharen felt a little distressed when he saw Qin Xifeng's dusty appearance.

But there is no need for the two brothers to say polite words. If you say too much, it will make you look awkward.

"Brother, I'll leave first. Remember to get the meat."

Qin Xifeng took the two mantou and rode away.

He found that Zaren seemed much more cheerful now, and he was very happy for him.

A few days later.

The biogas digester in the village was completely completed, and Atik came forward to pay the two big workers and sent them back.

This expenditure was made by Murakami a few days ago, and Qin Xifeng didn't care about it.

"Mengzi, Radil, you two follow me to get the starter and fermentation liquid."

The village's biogas digester has started feeding materials, but these raw materials still need primers and fermentation preparations to produce biogas.

Qin Xifeng's livestock manure treatment tank at that time had no place to find an "introducer" and relied entirely on fermentation preparations rewarded by the system.

The starter is the fermented clinker, which contains various microorganisms.

He doesn't have much fermentation preparation left. If he adds an "introducer", he will definitely be able to produce a sufficient amount of biogas.

However, the biogas pool in the village does not have a heating device, so the fermentation time is much longer. It is initially estimated that it will take about 25 days.

Radil is two years older than Zhang Meng, and both of them are good at work.

So Qin Xifeng handed over the "introduction" and fermentation preparations to them. From now on, Radil will be responsible for feeding and cleaning the biogas digesters in the village, and the village will give him some subsidies.

Zhang Meng is responsible for feeding and cleaning Qin Xifeng's "livestock manure treatment tank", and Qin Xifeng will naturally give him appropriate compensation.

The pay is not much, just two bags of flour and one pot of oil a month, and the workload is not that big in the first place.

Qin Xifeng himself can actually do this job. However, he has a lot to do, and he will have to drive livestock around after a while, which is really hard to take care of.

"Brother Xifeng, I heard that you plan to plant alfalfa?"

Zhang Meng didn't care about remuneration at all, he was happy to help Qin Xifeng do something.

It's just that this kid is a bit clingy. When he has nothing to do, he always likes to follow Qin Xifeng and keep asking questions.

Qin Xifeng these days, apart from grazing, patrolling the border, and observing whether his ewes are pregnant, Qin Xifeng is always running near the river valley.

Even Zhang Meng knew that he was planning to plant alfalfa.
