Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 98 Virtuous Cycle

"This red rabbit is... a black sheep!" Boss Che thought for a while before he remembered the idioms taught by Teacher An.Dissatisfied, he glared at the red rabbit who was always causing trouble for him. He handed the reins of the two good-tempered horses to Su Mu, and then said: "You tell the youngsters to be careful when riding, Xueqiu seems to be pregnant. , don't let it run hard."

Hearing the good news as soon as he came back, Su Mu was in a good mood, "Okay, just go to the ranch by riding a scooter, don't run hard."

Looking at Liang Fei who couldn't bear it for a long time, he had to pass the rein of the other horse, "Brother Fei, this horse is fine to run, you should enjoy it first; Ou Shao, the red rabbit has a very stubborn temper." , others won’t let you ride. I’m worried that I’ll have a bad temper and I’ll throw you off the other horses. Why don’t you feel wronged first and ride a snowball over there. If you want to ride well, let’s go to the racecourse for a casual ride tomorrow, and now go around a little A bit far."

"It's okay, I'm not greedy for horse racing. Thoroughbred horses have a lot of temper, and most of them are not allowed to be touched by anyone except the owner. Brother Su is really envious of me for having such a good horse. Red Rabbit is still young. Not too big, when it has offspring in the future, Brother Su, you have to keep one for me!" Ou Chen looked at the red rabbit enviously, but he knew that the better the horse, the more tempered it would be. Others can't ride it.

"Red Rabbit is still a little young now, I will help Ou Shao think about it when the cub is born." Su Mu nodded in response.

Liang Fei excitedly rode on the horse, urged the horse to go out of the courtyard, and said slightly vaguely with a cigarette in his mouth: "Brother Su, only rich people can afford such a good horse, so I won't make an appointment with you. But you The black tiger is really handsome! When it gives birth to a puppy, can you keep one for me? It’s best to be all black.”

"That's no problem, you can have as many as you want." Black tigers are not as delicate as red rabbits, not to mention there are already so many dogs in the family, so it doesn't matter to leave a few cubs for Liang Fei in the future.

A group of three came out of the village leisurely on horseback, led by Su Mu to the ranch.

At this time, when the sun is about to set, the heat has gradually dissipated, and the cool wind blows over with the unknown scent of wild flowers, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Surrounded by ancient trees of various shapes beside the small bridge and flowing water, the laughter of children touching fish can be heard far away; behind is a peaceful village with faint cooking smoke; the quiet and peaceful atmosphere makes Ou Chen and Liang Fei feel extremely comfortable.

Riding a horse up the high slope of the pot bottom slope of the pasture, looking down, I can see the endless green grassland, followed by the green mountains in the distance.

The suddenly bright pasture appeared in front of him, which made Liang Fei feel excited for no reason.

"Brother Su, Ou Shao, let me run around first to get addicted, you guys talk slowly!" He hurriedly snuffed out the cigarette butt that was crookedly dangling in his mouth, because he was worried that people would hate throwing garbage everywhere, so he put the cigarette butt back own pocket.After saying hello, Liang Fei grabbed the rein and pinched the horse's belly, and yelled a few times to make the horse run.

"Your horse can't hold back anymore. Brother Su, you can run with Brother Fei. His horse riding skills are not very good, so it's better to have someone follow him. I will walk forward slowly first." Seeing this, Ou Chen was afraid that Liang Fei accidentally fell, and Red Rabbit always snorted impatiently, obviously wanted to spread his hooves and run away, so he told Su Mu not to worry about himself, just let Red Rabbit run wild.

Su Mu is also welcome, Red Rabbit has long been impatient, and after seeing the vast pasture, he couldn't help it even more.

"Then I'll run around with Brother Fei first, and we'll meet up later." After finishing speaking, he urged the red rabbit to chase after Liang Fei who had already run away.

Heihu, who had been following Su Mu, had already seen the big gray in the distance, barked twice at his master, and rushed over to help drive the cattle, Ou Chen was amazed.

After they had all run away, Ou Chen set up an arbor to look at the flock of sheep moving like white clouds in the distance; breeding methods.The lowest part of the pasture is a lake, and it seems that these animals all go to the lake to drink water; many of the ducks and geese float on the water, plunge down and float up from time to time, as if they caught a small fish to eat.

Ou Chen didn't come to a conclusion as soon as possible. The quality of the animals raised here has to be carefully observed. Cooperation is a big deal, and it can't be done carelessly.

Thinking in his heart, he jumped off the horse while there was no one around, then bent down and pulled out a few grasses and held them in his hands for a closer look.

He often rides horses in the club, and occasionally grooms the horses to feed them some fodder, so Ou Chen knows a little bit about pasture.Now seeing that there are very few other weeds here except for large pastures, I understand a little bit in my heart. It seems that this sumac is really not simple. It is really expensive to plant such a large pasture with professional pastures for breeding!

"Young man, are you a friend brought by Muzi?" Ou Chen was thinking about how much he would have to invest in such a large pasture to see the benefits, when suddenly a question came from behind him.

He hurriedly turned around and saw that it was an old man in his sixties, who spoke Mandarin without any accent of a rural dialect.

"Muzi asked me to tell you that I will be eating at the pasture tonight. There were many chickens in the chicken farm that started to lay eggs, but I didn't expect the fox to make trouble these few nights, and came to make trouble last night. I bluffed a lot Not only did they stop laying eggs, but also two big roosters died, so they had to clean up and eat chicken.”

Mr. Zhang shook his head regretfully, and explained: "Don't be disgusted, this chicken has no disease at all, except that it was pinched by a fox at night and was not dragged away. Fortunately, there are a few big geese watching, chasing the two The fox ran a long way, probably frightened them enough, so he just strangled the rooster and did not kill him.

When I got to the chicken coop, I saw that the two roosters could not be saved, so I had to break their necks to make them die quickly.Speaking of it, this is similar to those coming back from hunting, and it is a hundred times cleaner than those restaurants in the city!My son delivered goods to restaurants before, tsk tsk, many things are simply inedible! "

Ou Chen didn't mind, but he changed his interest in an instant and asked: "There are still foxes here? Are there any guns? It's good to lay an ambush at night, and hunt foxes!"

"There are no guns these days, but there are crossbows. I told Dayong that he came to ambush with crossbows tonight. I heard from him that he wanted to catch alive. The fur of the fox is very good." Mr. Zhang saw This young man was very angry, and he guessed it was Su Mu who was talking about business, so he pointed in the direction of the hut where he lived and said, "When you've had enough strolling, go directly to the ranch. Let's do a few more tonight." Good food to try."

"Okay, I'll go there later!" Ou Chen looked over there for a moment in response to the afterglow of the setting sun, and could see a row of small houses that had begun to emit faint smoke.

Mr. Zhang hummed the opera and carried the basket on his back. Ou Chen could see that there were all kinds of fresh vegetables in it, obviously they had just been brought back from the farm.

"What's your name, old man? Why don't you put the basket on the horse, and I'll accompany you there." He hurriedly led the horse and chased after him, wanting to share some of the burden for Mr. Zhang.

"My surname is Zhang, and everyone calls me Mr. Zhang. I was not a resident of Huatanao. If Muzi hadn't thoughtfully picked me and my wife from the suburbs, I'm afraid we would have died by now! These few vegetables can weigh a few catties and a couple of ounces, so I can carry them by myself." Mr. Zhang walked vigorously, and smiled as he walked: "The water and soil in Huatanao are good. I live here and become younger! I don't believe you. Try living here for three to five days, and make sure you don't want to leave!"

"Brother Su brought you here to live?" Ou Chen was a little confused, always felt that after coming to the small mountain village, he encountered many things that he had never imagined before.

For example, these endless farms and pastures in the deep mountains; another example, the image of the purebred Carmine and Sumu suddenly became very mysterious.At this moment, an old man who spoke Mandarin and looked after the poultry in the pasture appeared. From what he said, it seemed that Su Mu picked it up from the street...

"I won't mention the old millet and rotten sesame in the past. I'm going to catch the fox tonight. I have to prepare some good wine for Dayong. By the way, boy, what kind of food do you like? We usually eat more Serious, if you are not used to it, cook the dishes lightly." Mr. Zhang walked vigorously, and Ou Chen felt confused, leading the horse and walking a little slower, and he still couldn't keep up with the old man's footsteps.

He hurried forward a few steps and continued: "Any taste is fine, I'm not picky about food. Third Master, all the poultry and livestock here are free-range? I heard from Uncle Su that the chickens in the chicken farm are only bought in spring." Yes, why did you start laying eggs so early? Did you use some kind of feed?"

"I don't understand. The chickens bought in spring can usually lay their first eggs in autumn. All the chickens raised in the pasture are free-range, and they lay eggs earlier than ordinary chickens. If you don't believe me, take a look." He said He stopped and grabbed a handful of the grass, "The grass Muzi grows is really good. Have you seen these black and shiny grass seeds? They are very nutritious!"

As Mr. Zhang said, he poured some soil into Ou Chen's palm, only then did he see that there were indeed a lot of grass seeds mixed in the soil, and all the full grains looked like fruits that were about to be harvested.

Before he could react, Mr. Zhang stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful, then pinched a big grasshopper in his hand and said with a smile: "It all comes in circles. The grass is good, the water is good, and the grass seeds are good." , Look at how strong this group of grasshoppers are! Those chickens, ducks and geese eat grass seeds all day long in the grass, and there are also these grasshoppers, earthworms, and various small insects that can be caught and eaten, and they can grow slowly. Already? This kind of free-range poultry, the raw eggs are very nutritious! The meat is also much more delicious than ordinary chicken!

The lake water over there is a mountain spring brought down from the mountain. There are small fish fry in it. Chickens, ducks and geese drink the spring water and eat grass seeds, grasshoppers, and small fish fry. Well, how can those poultry grown with manure be compared?You will know when you eat later, all kinds of eggs and meat here have different tastes! "

After Mr. Zhang's explanation, Ou Chen finally saw something.It turns out that Sumu's pasture has formed a virtuous circle. There is no need to use pesticides on the grassland, and chickens, ducks and geese will naturally eat these pests; Provide grass fodder for cattle and sheep with better quality!
The feces of these poultry and livestock will naturally become the most primitive but powerful nutrient-returning pasture, so the pollution-free and pure naturalness of the entire pasture is guaranteed!
