Even so, everyone was still a little hesitant to get close to the horses.
Qiao Xuejun demonstrated to them with smooth movements: "Cut it along here, leaving it this long."
It is a cold season and horses should not be shaved, but they are short of hair.
In addition, the hair of these horses has never been shaved and is too thick. The stable has good thermal insulation function, so some of it can be shaved off appropriately to preserve enough fur to keep them warm.
There were fifty horses, of which the pregnant mare was not shaved, but the others were completely shaved.
Qiao Xuejun was the most efficient. She cut more than half of the horse's hair by herself.
No one else moved as fast as she did.
Someone couldn't help but praise her: "Teacher Qiao, you are really amazing. You can farm and raise horses."
Qiao Xuejun smiled. "It's okay, it's within my job description. I also think it's quite impressive that you guys can turn wool into clothes in the tailoring studio."
The tailors were also delighted by Qiao Xuejun's praise.
But some people still think: "Most of these fifty-plus horses were sheared by you. If you were not here, we would have to do it. We don't know how long we would have been busy!"
It was difficult for her to express it clearly, but she felt that Qiao Xuejun was very willing to work. She had never heard her complain about the hard work, she just kept working.
There are many people in their tailoring room, and it is a hassle to allocate tasks. No one wants to do more. If someone is efficient and finishes their work quickly, they will stop and not do more.
It is human nature to do one's own job. If one can do it well, then he is truly excellent.
Qiao Xuejun can now assign tasks. After demonstrating to them, she will let each of them be responsible for a few, and she will just watch and supervise them from the side.
She is the Minister of Agriculture. Sister Li sent them here to shear wool, which was a job assignment. Teacher Qiao could just watch them do it without interfering at all.
But she didn't, instead she did everything she could.
Because the tailoring department pays wages on a piece-rate basis, at the beginning they were secretly calculating how many horses each person would be responsible for.
There were 8 of them, plus Qiao Xuejun, making a total of 9 people. Each person had to be responsible for at least 6 horses.
By the time they had finished with two horses, Qiao Xuejun had already finished with six. I thought Qiao Xuejun was going to take a break, but she didn't slow down at all.
She didn't seem to have counted on the fact that her workload was already full.
Sure enough, there were more than 6 horses. After finishing 10 horses, Qiao Xuejun was still working on more.
It's simply amazing.
No wonder he is a minister, he is so proactive.
After finishing the horsehair, I collected more than a dozen large bags.
Sister Li's eldest disciple held the horsehair bag and smiled, "I didn't expect there would be so many!"
Qiao Xuejun: "After all, these horses have never been sheared."
Although horses shed their hair on their own, if it has never been trimmed, there will definitely be a lot of hair.
Qiao Xuejun put away the scissors and handed them back to Sister Li's apprentice. He rubbed his right wrist and said, "You guys take the hair back and deal with it first. I'll lock up the horse."
The tailors said goodbye to Qiao Xuejun and went back.
Qiao Xuejun looked at the horses, sighed, took out the bells, brought them back to the stable one by one, and tied them up with ropes.
She had also chosen someone to help take care of the stable, but since it was already past get off work, it was considered overtime, so she didn't ask anyone to come over.
While tying up the last horse, Qiao Xuejun yawned.
I feel sleepy and tired.
But it’s not over yet.
She walked into the stable to see the pregnant mare. According to the information provided by the system, the mare was approaching her due date.
Qiao Xuejun looked at its abdomen, gently touched its breasts, and observed the horse's reproductive parts.
The status has changed to a certain extent, it is indeed fast.
Qiao Xuejun patted the horse's head, locked eyes with it, and expressed her goodwill. She then brought in a bucket of ground corn kernels from the small feed room outside the stable.
The horses have eaten their hay today.
But pregnant mares can eat more and retain more fat, which will make delivery smoother.
Qiao Xuejun put the corn feed into the pregnant mare's trough and watched her eat.
Qiao Xuejun wanted the horse to adapt to her presence as much as possible so that it wouldn't be stressed when it saw her during the birthing process.
After the horse finished eating its feed, Qiao Xuejun reached out to touch its head. Before she could reach out completely, the horse stretched its head over and took the initiative to burrow into her palm, which made Qiao Xuejun smile.
Finally, the work was done. Qiao Xuejun walked out of the stable, put the ladle for scooping feed back into the small room, closed the door and came out.
She locked the stable and tried to get back to the shelter.
I looked at the time. It was already 10 o'clock in the evening. At this time, Zhao Xian should have returned to the base.
She walked out, hesitating whether to go to the base to see Zhao Xian, but she was so tired that she didn't want to take another step.
She asked the system: "Is there any item that increases strength?"
System: "No, host."
Qiao Xuejun certainly knew that there was no one there. She held the flashlight and walked forward while rubbing her wrist. As soon as she jumped down a small slope, she saw a human figure at the corner in front of her, coming towards her.
Before she had time to get nervous, her brain had already recognized that this was someone she was very familiar with, Zhao Xian.
Qiao Xuejun breathed a sigh of relief and stopped: "Lord?"
Zhao Xian walked over quickly, and in just a few steps he was in front of her. He frowned and looked at her and asked, "Are you busy until now?"
