Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

"Yeah, grow some alfalfa. In addition to adding nutrition to the livestock, most of it will be dried and used as fodder for winter storage."

Qin Xifeng discovered that Zhang Meng was not lazy. He used to hang around all day long because he really had nothing to do.

He actually liked this kid, otherwise he wouldn't have said so much.

"Oh, that's right."

Zhang Meng doesn't understand very well, don't people on the plateau rely on the sky for grazing? Why do they need to grow their own fodder?

But he didn't have the nerve to continue asking. In his eyes, Brother Xifeng was a "mighty man" and what he wanted to do would definitely make sense.

"Mengzi, after a few days of planting, you can find a few people to help me."

Qin Xifeng glanced at Zhang Meng, then stood up and left.

He is willing to give the other party more opportunities. As for whether the other party can grasp it, it depends on what Zhang Meng wants.

After returning to his yurt, he was not ready to go out again.

Last time I went to the countryside, I made an appointment with Wang Jianjun in advance. The other party should send alfalfa seeds today. Materials in the countryside are relatively scarce. He entrusted Wang Jianjun to help buy these seeds in the county. Once purchased, they will be delivered in time.

When it was almost noon, Wang Jianjun didn't come, but Gulidan came.

"Xifeng, it's so rare that you are at home! Look, what did I bring you? I made baked buns and sent some to your parents just now. The rest is our lunch. Why?

Sample?"

Gulidan was not sure whether Qin Xifeng was at home, so she went to Atik's place first and then came over.

As a result, Qin Xifeng was really here, and she talked a lot more when she was happy.

"That's just right. I've stewed a pot of meat outside. Let's drink broth and eat baked buns at noon. I'll pick some spinach and make a cold dish."

Qin Xifeng looked at the time and estimated that Wang Jianjun would probably not arrive at noon, so he did not plan to wait any longer.

"Zifeng, where is your falcon? I didn't see it outside just now."

Now more and more people know that Qin Xifeng raises a falcon. There is no need to hide this kind of thing and cannot be concealed. As time goes by, everyone will naturally accept it.

Gulidan also knew about this. She liked Qin Xifeng's falcon very much and had to feed it a few pieces of meat every time she came to be happy.

Of course, Qin Xifeng must be present during the feeding.

Otherwise, the falcon may not only refuse to eat, but may also injure Gulidan.

"Are you going to play by yourself? I don't care about it anyway. It will fly back when it has had enough fun."

Qin Xifeng takes time to train the eagle every day, and the tacit understanding between the two is getting higher and higher. Then he feeds the eagle and does whatever he likes with the rest of the time without tying it up.

"You have such a big heart! Aren't you afraid that it will fly away and never come back?"

Gulidan complained, but actually he was thinking about the eagle.

Qin Xifeng's falcon is very understanding of human nature. After just a few times, it has learned that Gulidan and its owner are good friends and is no longer hostile to her.

"No, no, just relax. Gulidan, I'm hungry, let's eat."

Qin Xifeng couldn't see the girl's resentful look, so he jumped up quickly and urged Gulidan to have lunch.

Gulidan then went to look at the broth outside the yurt, then brought two bowls in and took out the baked buns he had brought.

The two began to eat.

"By the way, West Wind, was your experiment successful?"

Gulidan no longer bothered about the falcon, but asked about Qin Xifeng's experiment.

"It's basically a success...but the final result depends on the pregnancy status of the ewe. If the pregnancy rate is good, it can be promoted next."

The pregnancy time of ewe is within one month, so it is difficult to identify without instruments. But after one month, effective judgment can be made based on experience and observation alone.

Qin Xifeng did not have a B-ultrasound machine for sheep at hand, so it was difficult to make early judgments, so he had to wait and observe for a while.

"I believe the final result will be good."

Gulidan was not saying any kind words, this was her innermost expectation.

Although there are many herdsmen in pastoral areas who stick to the old rules, these people are unwilling to accept new things and are still willing to stick to the extensive grazing method.

But Gulidan is different, she is a person who is willing to accept new things.

While the two were talking, "Heizi" outside the yurt suddenly shouted loudly.

Heizi would not bark when he saw an acquaintance, so the person who came should be Wang Jianjun. Wang Jianjun and Heizi were not familiar with each other.

Qin Xifeng stood up immediately, followed closely by Gu Lidan, and they walked out together.

"Xifeng, Gulidan, what are you two doing hiding in the yurt in broad daylight?"

The person who came was indeed Wang Jianjun. He was riding a horse and leading two yaks. There were several large bags hung on the yaks' backs, and he obviously brought a lot of things with him.

"We are having lunch in the yurt, what else are we going to do? You are such a big-mouthed guy that you can't spit out ivory. Hurry up and come in to eat first. We'll talk about other things later."

Qin Xifeng rolled his eyes at Wang Jianjun, then glanced at Gulidan, only to find that the other person was not angry.

Wang Jianjun got off his horse, washed his hands first, and then sat down in the yurt.

Gulidan went to serve him a bowl of soup with two pieces of meat in it, and then handed him a piece of naan bread. Forget about baking buns or something, she didn't bring much, so how could she bring anything at this time?

Is there any leftover?

Fortunately, Wang Jianjun was not picky and ate the delicious food in big gulps.

This guy is obviously hungry.

After dinner, Gulidan helped clean up, while Wang Jianjun and Qin Xifeng went to count the seeds and other items they brought back.

"Xifeng, these are the alfalfa seeds you asked for. There are 200 kilograms in total. They are all here. The money has not been used up, so here you go..."

Wang Jianjun was unambiguous in his work and even asked others to issue receipts.

Qin Xifeng didn't even look at it, he just put the receipt and the money back into his pocket, and then moved the seeds into the greenhouse with Wang Jianjun.

One acre of alfalfa seeds requires about 6 to 8 kilograms of alfalfa seeds, but Qin Xifeng does not plan to cultivate it carefully. At most 4 kilograms of seeds per acre of land are enough.

In this case, he can plant 50 acres of alfalfa. The yield of others planting alfalfa per mu can reach at least 10 tons, which converted into hay is about 3,000 kilograms.

Planting 50 acres of alfalfa can theoretically harvest 150 tons of hay.

A sheep needs 300 to 500 kilograms of hay to survive the winter. According to the upper limit, 150 tons of hay is enough for 300 sheep to survive the winter.

Even if the yield of alfalfa grown by Qin Xifeng is lower, the reserve of overwintering hay is still sufficient, because some concentrated feed must be prepared.

Wang Jianjun came here mainly to deliver alfalfa seeds to Qin Xifeng. He also brought him a few chickens, some spicy skin, potatoes and cabbage.

"Jianjun, will you stay with me for one night today?"

After everyone finished their work, Gulidan went to make a pot of milk tea, and the three of them sat in the yurt, drinking tea and chatting.

Qin Xifeng didn't want Wang Jianjun to be too tired, so he tried to persuade him to stay.

"No, I have to go back. West Wind, do you have any sheep to sell here? I would like to take a few live sheep back with me."

Wang Jianjun has now started a small-scale livestock trafficking business. He buys sheep and transports them to Kakun City to sell them, and he can still make some money in the process.
