Chapter 174 Hunting?
The Ganoderma lucidum mushroom bags in the greenhouse will only grow twice, and they are useless after two crops. Ning Xiyue removed them and sprinkled ginseng seeds instead.
"Host, the ginseng you planted before has all grown into 100-year-old ginseng. Do you want to recycle it? It can be exchanged for a high price."
Tongzi looked with envy at the ginseng field next to him that had been growing for a long time, especially the ginseng king among the three that the host dug back from the mountain for his own use, which made him very optimistic.
Ning Xiyue glanced at a small patch of ginseng flowers in full bloom nearby and shook her head decisively to refuse.
"If I don't want to recycle it, I'll just keep it. The dew on the ginseng flowers of the hundred-year-old ginseng is a good thing. I want to collect more and make an anti-aging and wrinkle-reducing essence for my parents."
The little turtle looked at it with regret, but still reminded: "When the host needs to recycle, you can find me."
"Yeah, okay."
Ning Xiyue had everything planned out. Planting ginseng in the space was like owning a fixed asset that would continue to appreciate in value. The longer it grew, the more valuable it would become. She would not take it out for recycling unless it was absolutely necessary.
After managing the growth of other medicinal herbs in the space, Ning Xiyue went out.
She heard someone calling her name outside.
After going out, Ning Xiyue rolled up her sleeves, picked up the loofah used for washing the pot, and turned it around in the dishwashing water before opening the kitchen door while it was dripping.
"Sister Guifang, you called me?"
Wu Guifang stood not far from the kitchen and shouted, "The captain is looking for you outside. It seems like there is something wrong."
"Okay, I'll be there right away. Thank you, Sister Guifang."
Ning Xiyue walked into the kitchen, put down the loofah in her hand, took off her apron, closed the kitchen door, and walked towards the gate of the Youth League Home. From a distance, she saw the captain standing at the gate waiting for her.
She quickly ran over and greeted him: "Captain, what do you want from me?"
The captain sighed with a worried look on his face: "Xiyue, the sows on our team are not eating enough today, and the boars next to them are also a little listless. Go and see what's going on. I'm so worried. If this continues, the piglets will have no milk to drink."
Ning Xiyue didn't expect that the captain wanted her to see a pig. She was stunned for a moment and then responded, "Okay, wait for me to get the medicine box."
Carrying the medicine box on her back, she followed the captain and walked quickly towards the pig house. On the way, the captain went to the brigade office for something, and Ning Xiyue walked towards the pig house alone, carrying the medicine box on her back.
Anxious Aunt Chunsheng smiled a little when she saw Ning Xiyue coming: "Xiyue, go in and take a look. The pigs haven't finished eating the food we fed this morning."
Ning Xiyue went in to check and found that both the sow and the boar were fine. She cleaned the sow's wound and reapplied medicine. Then she walked out of the pigsty and said to the worried Aunt Chunsheng:
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. The sow is hurting from the wound on her body. I changed the medicine for her. The boar caught a cold. Crush this medicine and put it in the pig feed. It will be fine in a day or two. Feed all the pigs some as a precaution."
Ning Xiyue took out two black pills of animal cold medicine from the medicine box and handed them to Aunt Chunsheng.
And reminded: "Aunt, you can use more straw to block the row of ventilation holes on the side wall of the pig pen. The temperature has dropped sharply recently. It's too cold and the pigs can't stand it."
"Okay."
Aunt Chunsheng took the pills and took Ning Xiyue to see the piglets. All the piglets were well taken care of by Aunt Chunsheng, and one could not tell that they were weak piglets delivered by caesarean section.
"Aunt, that's awesome."
Aunt Chunsheng felt embarrassed by the compliment: "Hehe, it's what I should do."
After they had finished looking at the pigs, the captain, who had just left for a while, waved at Ning Xiyue at the door of the pig house: "Girl Yue, come out quickly. I have something to tell you."
Ning Xiyue followed the captain to the side to talk.
"The team has decided to organize people to go hunting in the mountains tomorrow, and get some prey before the mountains are completely closed so that we can have a good New Year. Do you have any useful medicines, medicines for treating external injuries, or medicines that are helpful for hunting?" (Note: This is limited to the world of novels. According to the Wildlife Protection Law in modern society, hunting is an illegal act.)
"Yes, but not much. I'll go back and configure some. Captain, when will you enter the mountain tomorrow?"
They were actually going up the mountain to hunt. Ning Xiyue was a little confused. She found that it was all white outside and many animals were hibernating. Only a few animals were still wandering around outside. Could they hunt any?
"We'll set out for the mountains at six tomorrow morning. We're all veteran hunters in the team and have methods of finding prey. Every winter after the first snow, we go up the mountain for winter hunting. When things are good, we can catch a lot of good prey, such as foxes, weasels, raccoon dogs, roe deer, etc. If we're even luckier, we can get a wild boar."
The captain obviously saw the confusion on Ning Xiyue's face and explained it to her.
Ning Xiyue suddenly understood. With the old hunter's words, finding prey was not a problem at all: "I see. OK, then I will go back and prepare the medicine and send it to the team before dark, okay?"
"Well, I'll come and get it myself at seven o'clock this afternoon, so you don't have to make a trip. It's very cold in this winter."
"Can."
After discussing this matter, Ning Xiyue remembered what she talked about with her second brother yesterday afternoon, so she stopped the captain who was about to leave and asked her the question she was most concerned about: "Captain, can we educated youth take leave to go home for the New Year?"
The captain looked at Ning Xiyue with an apologetic look.
"This year's notice hasn't come out yet. The educated youth need to get a notice from the town's educated youth office before they can go home for the New Year holiday. If you want to take a few more days off to go home, you also need the approval of the educated youth office. But it should be soon, don't worry."
"Understood."
Ning Xiyue nodded. It was expected. It was indeed difficult for the educated youth to return home because of the numerous checkpoints. But Ning Xiyue was not worried. She had a letter from Aunt Lin in her pocket. She would need it when necessary. There was no rush now.
Ning Xiyue said goodbye to the captain with a normal expression: "Captain, I will go back and prepare the medicine first."
"Okay, go ahead. Be careful on your way back." The captain also walked towards the pigsty behind him.
