Despite being a different species, he also saw a comfortable smile in the cow's eyes.
laugh?
Are you kidding me? Is that the expression a cow should have?
Gu Yunyang didn't say much; he would only wait and see how the treatment worked.
At noon, Gu Yunyang made a batch of sorghum pancakes mixed with enriched flour, stir-fried lettuce with shredded pork, and added eggplant stir-fried with chili peppers. He wrapped them in the pancakes, and they tasted delicious.
Han Xue was exhausted. After eating something, she quickly lay down on the bed, intending to rest for half an hour.
Yang Shengnan was a little better off; she also got tired during the military training.
But planting rice seedlings is even more tiring than military training. After all, in the army, she was just a little girl, so how could they really expect her to be so demanding?
Most importantly, you have to bend over the whole time when planting rice seedlings.
She felt like her waist didn't belong to her anymore.
But Yang Shengnan was ambitious and unwilling to slack off.
No wonder I'm exhausted.
Gu Yunyang could only offer a few words of comfort; he himself wasn't too tired.
What's the big deal about just giving the cows some concentrated feed?
If he had an oil press, he would have liked to press the soybeans into oil, make soybean cake, and then feed it to the cattle.
When Old Zheng saw the lunch, he scolded him again.
"There's no need to add so much flour. Besides, if you have flatbread, why bother with stir-fries? You can marinate the meat and dry it into cured meat to eat slowly."
In Guangdong province, cured pork is mostly sun-dried. It's made with lots of spices and wine, and after marinating, it's hung in the sun to dry.
The neighboring Xiangxi and Jiangxi regions, on the other hand, prefer smoking.
Gu Yunyang is fine with either one; he doesn't have a particular preference.
Actually, meat tastes best when it's fresh.
Cured pork also has a unique flavor, and if you have the option, fresh pork is preferable.
Gu Yunyang laughed and said, "It's alright, we'll eat anyway."
The two girls who came to the countryside with me had never done farm work before; this was their first time working in the fields. If they didn't eat well, they wouldn't be able to handle it.
Old Zheng nodded in deep agreement and said no more.
They're from the city, they have money, so they probably don't lack this.
That is, he was grateful for what they brought him.
Who would give someone meat to eat after they've eaten the flatbread?
It's delicious sandwiched in a pancake.
He's never tried this way of eating before.
In fact, people in the south mainly eat rice and eat very little wheat-based food.
Apart from steamed buns and mantou for breakfast, I rarely eat noodles for lunch or dinner throughout the year.
Around 6 p.m., the cow was brought back.
Old Zheng was puzzled: "Why does this ox look so energetic?"
To say I was mentally exhausted is not quite right; I was just incredibly tired.
But compared to yesterday, the cow is in much better condition.
The man who brought the ox back muttered, "It's been eating concentrated feed twice a day, no wonder it's so energetic."
Old Zheng retorted speechlessly, "If you only eat two meals of rice a day, you'd be in a tough spot working in the fields. These oxen used to eat two meals of concentrated feed a day. You think you can skimp on that?"
Old Zheng guessed that the other party was looking for trouble because they saw that Gu Yunyang was having an easy time doing the work.
But Old Zheng is an expert. Although he didn't go to university or study much, he used to be a farmhand who raised cattle for a landlord.
He dared to say he was quite familiar with cattle.
But the cow's condition today is a bit strange.
Even if they only eat concentrated feed, without adding any hay, they will still be fed a lot of it.
This cow doesn't seem that energetic, does it?
The concentrated feed that Gu Yunyang made contained a lot of hay, but the amount of soybeans and similar ingredients was not large.
They're feeding the cattle less than they did in previous years.
What's going on?
Faced with Old Zheng's question, Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "It's just like eating. If you only eat meat, you might not eat well. But a combination of meat and vegetables is more nutritious."
