Zhao Wei not only let the old couple see these, but also took them to a grassy area.
Old Zhoutou, as the newly appointed cowherd in the village, is in charge of two cows, a calf, two sheep, two horses and two foals.
There were originally a few sheep, but due to an accident, they fell off the cliff and all died.
Of the two sheep now, one was rescued from the valley by Zhao Wei at the risk of his life.
At the moment, such a small number of livestock is obviously too few. Zhao Wei has already made up his mind. He plans to go up the mountain to lure some wild animals down for breeding, and then raise them in the name of the commune.
Then they planned to build a larger pasture in the mountains to feed the livestock, and Lord Zhoutou settled his family halfway up the mountain.
This plan is only suitable for spring, autumn and summer. It is too cold in winter and it is difficult for people and livestock to survive.
The main issues are heating and food storage.
But Zhao Wei has a way to solve this problem. When the time comes, everyone will have a lot of free time, so he can organize people to dig an earthen cave where they can burn fire for heating.
As fodder is difficult to obtain, they currently do not have any professional livestock grass seeds and all they eat are wild grasses in the mountains.
This stuff cannot be cut and stored. When the snow is very deep, the livestock cannot dig through the snow to eat the hay.
People have no fresh grass to eat and can only eat pickled vegetables that are dried in the spring and summer.
Therefore, if he wants to expand the scale of breeding, he must also solve the problem of livestock food.
The first thing that came to mind was to build a greenhouse.
But this thing is too expensive, and it is too impractical to use it to grow grass in this era. It can still be used to meet daily vegetable needs.
I didn’t do it last winter because I couldn’t find suitable seeds in winter. Agricultural supply companies distribute goods according to the season, and many vegetable seeds were not available. The only common ones were radish, cabbage, eggplant, pepper, tomato, etc.
Many people are accustomed to the unified provision of seeds by the commune. Most of the grain seeds they have are eaten before the spring, so it is difficult to have extra seeds.
If this year's autumn harvest is a bumper one, there will naturally be a lot of grain seeds.
Zhao Wei planned to take these grain seeds to other provinces to exchange them for some grain seeds suitable for local cultivation.
For example, if water resources are so abundant, we can actually grow some rice.
There are also wheat and sorghum.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but miss his master Lin Qinghe.
This guy has traveled all over the country and has been to many places. He is a knowledgeable and wise man. He has asked the other party to help him collect many of the vegetable seeds he wants along the way.
I don’t know if there is any result?
At this time, on the hillside, Old Zhou was talking to the old man about his experience in raising children. He spoke very clearly and spit everywhere, which made people stunned.
The main thing is that he is good at bragging, and the other one is a newbie who knows nothing, so they dare not make a fool of themselves, and they get along quite well.
It was almost noon when Zhao Wei brought Yunxiu back to pick up the two elders.
At this time, their backpacks were filled with a lot of mushrooms and some bamboo shoots.
As for the bamboo baskets, they were filled with wild fruits and other delicious foods that made people drool at the sight of them.
The old man and the old lady have never eaten it.
Seeing that the fruits were red, white, and purple, and the colors were very beautiful, I picked some to eat.
As a result, the sweet feeling is so overwhelming that one can't help but feel overwhelmed.
Half of the basket of fruits that I had picked with great effort was eaten in a short time.
When I got home, I saw Liu Qian looking pitiful. He was sitting at the door with a small stool in his hand, looking out for his husband like a wife waiting for her husband to leave.
The house was cold and deserted, with no one around. He was so bored that he started counting ants.
"Hey, this is for you, eat it quickly!"
When Zhao Wei handed the fruit over, Liu Qian's eyes lit up instantly.
He was a little hungry and greedy.
In the past, his home would always be filled with all kinds of snacks.
It’s nothing like now, when the only thing that tastes bland is boiled water, and even tea is a luxury.
He missed the old days so much. At that time, he would be annoyed even when Zhao Nan begged him to have a bite.
Now... just this kind of small fruit makes him drool.
All the resentment from being beaten last night was temporarily put aside.
Well...it seems that my cousin is not that bad. He has always been protecting him. So...please forgive him for now.
Zhao Nan prepared lunch after he came back.
She was under the scorching sun, her fair skin was almost tanned, and she finally followed Huangmao and the others to patrol the entire village and the fields.
Along the way, we also encountered some traces of wild animals descending the mountain, which we had to record.
This job was originally done by Huangmao. After all, he now knows quite a few characters and can write the pinyin for those he doesn't know.
But because he writes slowly, there are typos all over the place.
Zhao Nan, who had obsessive-compulsive disorder, couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply took his pen and completed the record in no time.
Moreover, she was used to being a leading cadre after all. Although she was not very proficient in other subjects, her handwriting was excellent. She had practiced it specially. After all, if her handwriting was too ugly when signing, it would damage the image of a leader.
Poor Zhao Nan, he walked for almost two hours and when he got home he was so tired that he was almost out of breath.
But in order to train the mother and son, Zhao Wei fed the old man and his family only three-quarters full before sending them back.
Then I no longer care about their life or death.
Liu Qian was a good-for-nothing. During the time he hung out with Zhao Wei, he only learned how to make firewood.
Let him cook and he'll burn down the house.
The old man and his friends had been out playing for two or three hours and were very tired. They were now resting with their eyes closed on the kang.
The family could not find a second candidate except Zhao Nan, the main player.
As a last resort, Zhao Guan looked at Liu Qian.
If I don't want to die of exhaustion or hunger, it's time for this son to repay me.
She has taken care of him as a mother for so many years, it’s not too much for her son to repay her!
After his concept changed, the previous sentiment of love no longer existed, and he began to use Liu Qian's power.
At this time, Liu Qian felt guilty for not training for his mother. He was no longer as resistant as before and actually helped obediently. After the mother and son cooperated for a while, they finally made a pot of mixed grain rice.
Although the rice still has a plain taste and does not have any oil or water.
But it actually didn't feel as hard to swallow as before.
People are always critical of others.
When it’s my turn, I feel that what I made is the most delicious thing in the world. What a typical double standard.
When Zhao Wei was having dinner at home, he saw a commune secretary coming to inform him to go to another town to attend the annual livestock meeting.
The scale of this animal husbandry association was not small, involving more than ten communes, and there were more than a hundred people attending the meeting.
Participants brought along breeders, veterinarians, and even some livestock for evaluation and appraisal, and the content was quite rich.
