Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

Fresh meat and butter naan bread were given by grandma last night. Qin Xifeng simply made a pot of mutton soup at noon, mixed with a cold dish, and it was a complete meal.

After the three of them finished eating and packed up, they went to the alfalfa field in the river valley together.

"Mengzi, are there many people growing alfalfa in the village?"

Standing next to the alfalfa field, Qin Xifeng looked around and saw patches of alfalfa everywhere in the valley. He turned to look at Zhang Meng and Radil and asked casually.

"Yes, no one grew alfalfa before. Later, we had a bumper harvest in the first crop. People in the village were so greedy that they went out to buy seeds and started planting.

Brother Xifeng, Radil and I are following your instructions and teaching them step by step. Radil, right?"

Zhang Meng quickly expressed his merit. To be honest, he and Ladil played a big role in the process of planting alfalfa in the village.

"Brother Xifeng, it's like this."

Radil smiled and nodded, then agreed.

The two of them learned their skills from Qin Xifeng. Before Qin Xifeng went out, he specifically told them that if the villagers wanted to plant alfalfa, they should try their best to help.

The grazing method in Palpaha is very extensive, and ancient methods have always been used. To put it bluntly, they rely on the weather for their livelihood.

In the past, when herders were preparing their livestock for the winter, they would purchase various platycodons in large quantities from agricultural areas. The main local crops were corn, highland barley, oats, peas, etc. The herdsmen stored these platycodons directly without crushing them at all. In winter,

Just feed it to livestock.

As a result, the nutritional value of platycodon is very low and the waste is serious, which cannot meet the nutritional needs of overwintering livestock at all.

I will prepare some hay, but I still cannot get rid of the dilemma of relying on the weather. Because the quantity is limited, it is difficult to stably guarantee the demand for winter fodder.

When herdsmen start to actively plant alfalfa, their hay reserves will be greatly increased, and wintering for livestock will no longer be a problem.

In a sense, Qin Xifeng, Zhang Meng, and Radil did a great thing.

Qin Xifeng took Zhang Meng and Radil around in the alfalfa field, and then went to look at the dried hay and felt very satisfied.

"Xifeng, are you still here? I just went to your house and you were not there, so I went to visit uncle and aunt Atik, and I happened to meet your elder brother."

Qin Xifeng, Zhang Meng and Radil parted ways at the entrance of the village. The dried alfalfa had begun to be stacked, and he planned to transport it to the corral tomorrow.

On the way home, he and Gulidan bumped into each other.

Gulidan told him that his eldest brother Zaren was here and was waiting at Atik's yurt. Needless to say, he came specifically to see Qin Xifeng, after all, he had been out for a long time.

"I just want to go home, let's go."

Qin Xifeng responded and galloped away with Gulidan.

Zaren met his younger brother, chatted affectionately for a while, and then stood up to leave. It was still working time for him, and he was not yet finished with his work for the day.

Qin Xifeng asked his eldest brother to take the time to send a message to Wang Jianjun for him, asking him to purchase a batch of flour and clear oil and send it over. Since the quantity purchased this time was relatively large, it was not easy to trouble Zaren. After all, Zaren did not have a yak team.

Zaren agreed wholeheartedly and then left the yurt.

Qin Xifeng and Gulidan went to see him off. After Zaren walked away, Gulidan took out the walkie-talkie from his body and handed it over.

"Xifeng, give it back to you."

Qin Xifeng took it, thought for a while and said: "Gulidan, my father wants to use this machine, so I won't go into details. In this way, I will go to the city to have a look later and buy another one."

Walkie-talkies are available in the market, and the price is not cheap. However, it is still within the affordable range for Qin Xifeng, so he decided to buy another one for Gulidan to use.

He feels that pairing the walkie-talkies is easy, but he needs to ask the merchant for specific details, and there should be no problem.

"Well, let's wait until you are free. Xifeng, my father and mother asked you to come to my house for dinner tonight, will you go?"

Gu Lidan did not refuse. She was used to calling Qin Xifeng before going to bed. She would be very uncomfortable without a walkie-talkie.

Then, she invited Qin Xifeng to her home for dinner.

"Go, why don't you go? I'll go and talk to my father first and return the walkie-talkie to him."

Qin Xifeng naturally would not refuse. He then went to say hello to Atik and went to her house with Gulidan.

The dinner was prepared by Gulidan's sister-in-law and was very sumptuous. The whole family was very enthusiastic towards Qin Xifeng, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Xifeng, speaking of which, we have to thank you. The alfalfa you planted in the river valley was very successful. After discussing with my father and mother, I also planted some. Mengzi and Radil said that you had an explanation,

You have given me so much help..."

Gulidan's eldest brother changed the topic, which helped Qin Xifeng get out of trouble.

Otherwise, Gulidan's father and mother would still be picking up food for Qin Xifeng.

"Brother, it's right to plant some alfalfa, otherwise there won't be enough fodder for the livestock to overwinter. In fact, platycodon is also a good thing, but we used it wrongly in the past. I will study it later and try to make silage."

Qin Xifeng actually had this idea for a long time, but later he moved to the summer pasture and put the matter on hold.

Platycodon does not work well when used directly to feed livestock. It is best to make it into silage and use it as a winter reserve for livestock.

So far, there is no precedent for successfully making silage in Palpaha. Making silage on the plateau is a difficult problem, which is related to the climate and geographical environment.

Qin Xifeng took a self-driving trip to Palpaha in his previous life, and the "Nayi" that accompanied him ever since was a souvenir of this trip.

He remembered that he was staying in a hotel in Ta County and saw a piece of news that the Provincial Academy of Animal Husbandry Science had successfully produced a variety of silage for the first time on the Palpaha Plateau, including whole corn silage, highland barley silage, oat silage, pea silage, etc.

....

That year was almost 26 years later.

"Haha, you are so capable, you can definitely do it."

Gulidan's sister-in-law kept praising Qin Xifeng. In fact, she had no idea that the difficulty of making silage was not the same order of magnitude in plain areas as on plateaus.

"I can't tell whether it will work or not, but I just want to try it."

Qin Xifeng smiled and waved his hands. With his current knowledge base, he might not be able to accomplish this.

"bite!"

"Event: Trial production of silage."

"Choice: You choose to make silage on the plateau, I wish you good luck..."

"Event props: National Academy of Agricultural Sciences Institute of Animal Husbandry, researcher Li Yi's contact information, National Academy of Agricultural Sciences Veterinary Research Institute, researcher Fang Tongxing's contact information, National Academy of Agricultural Sciences Feed Research Institute, researcher Yu Beichen's contact information."

"Note: Event props exist permanently."

"Do you want to receive the event props?"

Qin Xifeng was stunned. Once again, the event release task of "Get on the bus first and pay for the ticket later" appeared again, and even the selection process was omitted.
