Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 132 The Great Use of the Carriage
After several days of heavy snowfall one after another, the entire Huatanao was almost covered under heavy snow.

Looking from a distance, the mountains are white and the dense trees are covered in white. The houses in the village are small and the roofs are covered with a foot of snow. I am afraid that most people will ignore this humble mountain village.

"Hey, this is the first time I've seen such a big snow when I grow up!" Pushing open the door with effort, Ou Chen avoided the falling snow scum from the roof and glanced at the silver world outside, his voice was full of words looking surprised.

The sun has just revealed a small part of the face, shining so brightly on the snow that it seems to be shining everywhere!

He couldn't find a better word to describe the beautiful scenery in front of him, so he ran to the Sumu house where he had just woken up to find the SLR camera, rushed to the yard and clicked the shutter.

"With such heavy snow, I will ask Uncle Da Yong to catch rabbits in the wild! It would be even better if we can go into the mountains. Let's also try chasing roe deer in the snow. It is said that silly roe deer can't run fast in the snow and can catch them with bare hands. Let's live!" Su Mu's first thought was to pick up something fun to play with before talking, otherwise wouldn't it be disappointing such a rare heavy snow?

And Liang Fei and An Lu were describing to Ou Chen the experience of the last time they rode a dog sled, and the spittle was flying around, which made Ou Chen envious.

A few young people talked and laughed and discussed whether to play sledding or ice skating first, or ask veteran hunter Liang Dayong to try to catch rabbits and catch roe deer in heavy snow.

Just entering the house to prepare for breakfast, Grandpa cheerfully offered them a more playful proposal.

The heavy snow has just stopped, and all the food that can be found in the forest or in the village is covered. This kind of weather is the most suitable for catching sparrows.

The props needed are also very simple. Take a basket at home, grab a handful of wheat, find a wooden stick and tie a rope, and arrange this set of props that are so simple that children can play with them in the wild. Less starving sparrows.This kind of little bird is too common in Huatanao. I often see large flocks of them flying around with flapping wings. After catching them, they shed their feathers and go into the water. Whether it is braised in soy sauce, fried, roasted, or stewed, the taste is absolutely first-class!
After the grandfather explained briefly, Su Mu and his party were so greedy that they hadn't had breakfast yet, drooling, yelling to finish their meal quickly, and then catch sparrows!
"Muzi, don't keep thinking about playing, you should think about business!" My mother came into the house with breakfast dishes, and as soon as she lifted the cotton curtain, she said worriedly: "It's snowing so much, the trucks that come to transport vegetables must be If we can’t enter the mountain, we can’t store this thing for a long time, we have to find a way to transport it out.”

"Hey... transportation is a big problem. Good things can't be transported out. This is a common problem in many deep mountains. Who makes us not a tourist attraction? There is no government in charge of road construction, and we can only rely on our own ideas Zhe." The usually carefree father also sighed rarely.

He mainly remembered that before autumn, he drove his family to a scenic spot in the south of Taohua County. It was also deep in the mountains, but because of the tourist attractions, the road repair standards were quite high!In contrast, even the road leading to the town in Taohua County looks shabby.

Dad has been thinking, when will Huatanao be connected to the real road?Even if the specification is not as good as the road in the town, as long as it is better than it is now.

When it came to transportation, even Ou Chen frowned.

The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and if the truck couldn't drive in, it would delay a lot of things.One is that the products in the farm and pasture may be damaged due to improper preservation; on the other hand, the supply of fresh vegetables at Yanlaiju will be out of stock, which will inevitably have a negative impact on the business of the store.

But it's too late to worry about the road problem now. Even if you want to build roads, you won't be able to solve the urgent problem until next spring!

"Okay, okay, it's not a big deal, everyone, don't frown!" Su Mu helped put the breakfast on the table, patted the table and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it after eating, how can there be so many troubles?" Worried? You think about this, I have thought about it a long time ago! Moreover, I have found a way to deal with it."

"What method?" Everyone asked in unison.

But Su Mu picked up the salted duck egg, cracked it open and gnawed a mouthful, calmed down, ordered the dishes with chopsticks and said, "Eat first, and I'll reveal the answer after the meal."

After eating and drinking enough, a table of people stared at him, and then Su Mu replied slowly: "I asked the owner of the car before. The heavy snow and mountains restrict the car, mainly because the chassis is low; If there is snow, the friction force will be reduced, and the wheels will easily slip and cause accidents. However, people who live in the deep mountains can’t do nothing when the snow is heavy and just sit around at home all day, right?
Cars can no longer be used to transport goods, but we have a secret weapon: the most primitive mode of transportation - horse-drawn carriages! "

"Carriage? Can that work?" This time it was Ou Chen's turn to be surprised. He has lived for more than 20 years and has never really driven a carriage.

In his impression, horses seem to be more difficult to manipulate than machines!
After such a thick snow, driving a carriage to transport vegetables outside?Can it work?
"Well, this is a way. But the only thing is that you have to have a good driver, otherwise the carriage will not be so easy to drive in the snow. The owner of the carriage will definitely be able to do it. Let him take the lead and continue Find a few experienced horse-drawn carts to help, and temporarily use the horse-drawn cart to transport the goods.” Grandpa filled the pipe pot with the tobacco leaves he grew, lit it, and took a puff. keep in."

"Don't worry about that, the horse-drawn carriage delivery will definitely be great!" Su Mu patted his chest to assure the ticket, in fact, it was because he had space in his body!
As long as you do a little tricks when loading the carts, several carriages can be loaded; when unloading, take the opportunity to transfer the goods in the space, without anyone noticing, it can save the horses a little effort and save the storage space. Some of the goods are slowly shipped out, why not do it?
With the way to deal with it, the next step is naturally for the two parties to act separately.

Ou Chen is in charge of calling the transport team, and asks the truck driver to drive to Taohua County early tomorrow morning and wait there, without risking to go into the mountains; while Su Mu goes to the racecourse to find the owner of the truck, and asks him to help dispatch the truck to load and transport it out The fruits and vegetables went to the county seat.

When the sun rose into the sky and began to warm the sun down the earth, the farm in Huatanao was already in full swing and the cars were loaded.

Because the pastures in the pastures and horse farms are really strange, and they still grow extremely luxuriantly under the snow layer in winter, so the horses, mules, and donkeys in the village are also blessed.After Su Mu's consent, they were all allowed to eat fresh grass in the pasture, so not only did the animals in the village not lose weight this winter, they even gained a lot of weight!

Now it's time for them to contribute, and all of them are very powerful.

In fact, the most important thing was on Su Mu. He helped to load the carriage while moving it into the space, so the carriage seemed to be full, but in fact it didn't carry too much weight.

"Crack!" With a flick of the loud whip, the owner of the car led a row of carriages slowly on the road.
