Zhou Yin had no idea that even though he had said it so firmly, someone still kept it in mind.
When he returned to the army and saw Qin Zhengqi and Director Fang, who were about to leave in a hurry, he stopped them and asked, "Where are you going?"
Director Fang: "Someone sent two cows to Nian Nian. We need to go take a look."
Zhou Yin was surprised. Two dairy cows, that was not a small number.
Even if he didn't know the prices, two cows would cost at least a thousand dollars.
Besides, cows are so precious that you can't buy them even if you have money. Who would be so generous as to specially send a cow here?
Could it be that someone knew that my sister-in-law was about to give birth and sent a cow to her?
"Who sent the cow to my sister-in-law?"
It was impossible to hide this kind of thing, so Qin Zhengqi told him the truth, "It was Ye Wenfeng."
"So it's Captain Ye." Zhou Yin put his arm around his shoulders and asked, "What's your relationship with Ye Wenfeng?"
"Didn't I tell you that Captain Ye and Nian Nian are distant relatives?"
"How could a distant relative be so thoughtful? Knowing my sister-in-law was about to give birth, he specially found two cows?"
Why is he so unconvinced?
"He didn't find the cow just because Nian Nian was going to give birth.
This is what Nian Nian found for the army, and we will raise dairy cows here in the future."
Not to mention Zhou Yin, even Director Fang was stunned. No one had expected that this cow was found for the army.
Director Fang: "Can it be done? Is the climate here suitable for raising dairy cows? None of us have raised them before. Can we keep them alive?"
Qin Zhengqi: "Let's keep it and see. How can we know if it can be done if we don't try it?"
Director Fang: "You two really are a couple. Your tone of voice is becoming more and more alike."
The cows had been sent to the pig farm, and they ran there.
Zhou Yin also went to see what was new.
The young soldier also went to call Shen Annian over, and everyone gathered at the pig farm.
They housed the cows in a shed.
It's past Mid-Autumn Festival now and the weather is not that hot.
The cows lived here without showing much resistance.
Lao Yang and the others looked at the two big guys, not knowing what to do.
They have never taken care of cows before, and they are precious. Everyone is afraid that something might go wrong if they are not careful.
Shen Anyian walked around the two cows. Their fur was shiny and it seemed that they were well taken care of over there.
And Ye Wenfeng did as she said and found a male and a female, which were just the right size to make a pair.
This cow should still be milkable.
Although Shen Annian had tried milking cows before just for fun.
But her belly was so big now that she was afraid something might go wrong, so she didn't dare to get close to the cow.
"Who among you knows how to milk a cow?"
Wu Peng stood up and said, "I used to be a soldier in the west and saw them milking cows. How about letting me give it a try?"
"Okay, just give it a try."
Wu Peng went to find a clean bucket to fill with milk, and took a clean towel to wipe the part of the cow that was to be milked.
The cow had just arrived in an unfamiliar environment and was a little irritable, and almost kicked him.
Fortunately, Wu Peng acted quickly and escaped the disaster.
He fed the cow grass and gave it a massage, which calmed it down a little, and then he started milking it.
Director Fang looked at the milk in the bucket and said to Shen Annian, "Take this milk back."
Shen Annian took a look at the half-full bucket of milk, which was just enough for making desserts at home.
“Okay, I’ll take it back, but there’s too much milk and I can’t finish it at home.
How about this, we can sell the milk in the future, and the children can drink the milk to supplement their nutrition, and they can also grow taller.
Director Fang nodded. "That's fine, but how do you price the milk? If it's too expensive, no one will dare to buy it."
After all, this cow belongs to Shen Annian. He can't make the decision on this matter by himself, so he has to discuss it with her.
"How about this, a pound of milk costs 20 cents, no tickets needed. Anyone who wants to buy can bring their own bottles."
Director Fang: "Okay, then we'll put a notice on the bulletin board and tell the families about the pig farm selling milk."
Zhou Yin was more interested in food and asked her, "Sister-in-law, what delicious food are you planning to make this time?"
Shen Annian thought for a moment and said, "I want to make double-skin milk."
Milk doesn't keep well, and even less so in this kind of weather.
She planned to distribute the remaining milk to the children in the staff housing complex.
By giving the kids a taste, she could use the opportunity to convince them to order milk.
One pound costs 20 cents. If a child drinks half a pound a day, it only costs 10 cents, or three yuan a month.
Nowadays, every family has a military wife working in a factory, so this expense is not too big a burden for them.
Zhou Yin: "What is double skin milk?"
"Just add eggs to milk and steam them together, and you can eat it as a dessert."
He has never eaten it this way.
But it contains both eggs and milk, which sounds delicious.
"Okay, then I'll go see you guys tonight."
"It's almost time to get off work, why don't you go over now?"
Zhou Yin waved his hand and said, "Not now. I've been training all day and I'm drenched in sweat. I need to go to the dormitory and take a shower first."
How could he go to someone's house smelling so bad? Even if others didn't mind, he would still feel dirty.
"Well, come over here when you're done packing."
Qin Zhengqi carried back half a bucket of milk, which weighed at least twenty pounds.
When he returned home, he saw a strange middle-aged woman whom he could not recognize.
