Chapter 501 Visitors
The helicopter was too noisy along the way, so we didn't say much. We just waited until we got to the destination to continue talking about the cattle and sheep.
Following the official instructions, they became much bolder and dared to return by helicopter in broad daylight. Behind their helicopter there was a cargo plane that was much larger than theirs.
When they reached the top of the meadow, Zhao Yeqing pointed in the direction of the mine and said to his assistant, "It's right there... Every morning, we fly to this direction from the side."
Her hand drew a long straight line in the air. The assistant said he understood and took out his mobile phone to take a few photos.
Two helicopters landed on the meadow.
Zhao Yeqing never thought that one day he would have guests coming to his house. This feeling is quite wonderful.
Push open the wooden fence and lead people in.
The assistant originally asked the two people on the helicopter to wait outside, and he and his men could go in alone. Zhao Yeqing felt that this was not a good idea, "Don't be polite. You came all the way here, you have to go in and have a glass of water anyway."
Zhao Yeqing didn't mind, so the assistant naturally wouldn't refuse: "Sorry to bother you then."
Walking into the wooden fence, the group saw a small courtyard not far away. At the entrance of the courtyard was a grain field with dense green seedlings, as well as a fish pond and a built rack with thin vines climbing up on it.
The surrounding grass is covered with wild flowers of various colors, which have opened their most beautiful petals in the spring.
At the back of the yard, you can see the small bamboo forest that you planted yourself. It is growing lushly, and when the wind blows, it makes a drowsy rustling sound.
What a paradise.
The envy in the eyes of the group of people was beyond words. The assistant was also cheerful: "No wonder you don't want to live in the city. With such a good place, who would want to leave?"
The group had not yet approached the yard and had just taken a few steps forward when they heard fierce dog barking from the yard.
Within a few seconds, before Zhao Yeqing could tell the dogs to stop barking, they came out of their dog holes one by one and started barking at the group of people.
Mu Xi stepped forward and scolded them, then raised his hand to calm them down one by one. Only then did the dogs stop, but they still looked at the group of people with unfriendly eyes.
I guess he was thinking of the people who came before.
The two men in black behind him saw the dog barking, but they didn't show any displeasure. Instead, their eyes were bright and they praised generously: "Good dog! Does your dog have any puppies? I want to take a few back."
That’s indeed the case. There are no other dogs that can breed with them. This reminded Zhao Yeqing.
After getting a negative answer, the two brothers in black looked regretful. This dog was even more intelligent than the police dogs in their previous team. It was truly rare.
Before he even entered the house, several people were already so envious that they couldn't speak clearly.
Every sigh of envy made Zhao Yeqing go from holding his head high to becoming increasingly nervous...
I’m so envious, but I hope you don’t become so envious that you can’t control your desire.
The weather was still a little hot at noon, especially after getting off the helicopter. The unobstructed sunlight on the meadow and the obviously rising temperature made everyone a little uncomfortable.
In the kitchen, Mu Xi took out the milk that had been chilled inside and poured a glass for each person.
Milk tastes two different things when you drink it at room temperature and when you drink it chilled. Chilled milk is not only not greasy, but also has a refreshing sweetness that is very thirst-quenching.
After drinking the milk, Mu Xi carried the bucket to the barn to milk the cows. Zhao Yeqing also quickly called them over to watch, and she could also feed the livestock at the same time.
Today's weather is suitable for grazing, but if they want to select sheep, it would be more convenient to watch them in the barn.
The younger brother brought by the assistant seemed to be an expert in this area. After checking around, he pointed to two sheep, one male and one female, and asked the big brother in black behind him to lead the sheep out.
Then there are the cows.
There are four cows in the family now, two old cows, one male and one female, a three-year-old cow, and a calf that is just a few months old.
Zhao Yeqing said, "We can't give you these two old cows. You can take the two smaller ones, but the youngest one hasn't been weaned yet. You can take the older ones with the sheep first."
It can also save her some feed.
No one mentioned giving the cow before, but when Zhao Yeqing heard the big brother in black talking about the puppies' cubs, she realized that this cow has not been able to mate with other cows for so many years. Only by handing the cow over to the government and their more professional breeders can they produce more and more dairy cows.
Also, the assistant told her a lot along the way, and let her know about the difficulties and hardships in the city.
Every city needs to develop. There are very few cities with dairy cows. The cattle-raising cycle is long. In order to have enough cows, there must be enough fodder. Breeding and planting are difficult in themselves, and we must also take into account urban reconstruction and grain planting.
It is too difficult to return to a period of fullness.
Every city is like this now. Everyone is busy with their own business. Sometimes, even if they have resources, they are unwilling to give them away for free. Every city has its own advantages, just like a small market. Usually, resources are exchanged.
The resource of their city happens to be one of the most important resources - oil fields.
This has enabled this small city to move into the middle among many cities in the post-disaster reconstruction development.
The assistant said that there are not many newborns in the city, but the supply of milk powder has always been very tight. They want to buy cows but can't, so they can only exchange oil for milk powder from other cities.
As for this milk powder, it is a product that the country’s top leaders have explicitly ordered not to be kept private, and this is the only way to get it.
After all, one of the country’s long-standing philosophies is that no matter how hard the situation is, children should not suffer.
Zhao Yeqing was willing to give the cow, and the assistant's smile became more genuine, and the slight alienation in his eyes gradually disappeared.
In addition to cattle and sheep, this year's sows gave birth to piglets in the spring. This domestic pig breed, which is a domesticated wild boar, is definitely not available in the city. Zhao Yeqing waved her hand and only kept the sows with piglets, the breeding boars, and a pig that was slaughtered for the New Year this year, and gave the rest to them.
Then he went to the chicken coop and gave them four trained green-headed ducks.
Now they lay a lot more eggs than before. Under the care of the breeding experts in the city, the four ducks will probably multiply in number in a short time.
The assistant smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. While the other people were loading various livestock onto the plane, he followed Zhao Yeqing to visit various places in the house.
"We built two basements before the extreme cold and drove the chickens, cattle, sheep and pigs into them. That's how we survived..."
The assistant followed Zhao Yeqing underground and found racks for raising silkworms.
