51. Let Me Out
After repeated operations, Su Liu obtained more than ten tons of hay, enough to make the sheep fat and strong.
After adding Sudanese grass feed into the automatic feeding machine, at the set time, piles of grass on the conveyor belt are fed into the sheep pen.
Su Liu checked the flock of sheep one by one and found no signs of mutation.
If you want the sheep to grow well, grass alone is not enough, roughage, concentrate feed and feed additives must also be provided.
Roughage is naturally green plant straw, dehydrated hay, such as green vegetables, sweet potato vines, etc.
Concentrated feed includes soybean cake, soybean meal, bran, corn, sorghum, sweet potato, etc.
Feed additives include some ruminant enzymes, acidifiers, nutritional enhancers, and are rich in minerals, vitamins, and antibiotics, which can promote the healthy growth of sheep.
Su Liu looked on his computer and found that the sheep feed on the market was relatively expensive and the quantity was small.
Moreover, because interstellar farming requires the addition of a certain amount of hormones, these feeds contain more or less some bad substances in order to increase livestock production.
The main reason why Su Liu raises sheep is to satisfy his own appetite.
She even loses her appetite when she is asked to eat mutton with added hormones.
After much thought, I decided to prepare the feed myself.
After the purification was completed in the afternoon, Su Liu found Ying Tianqing.
"You want to plant sweet potatoes and corn? Can you handle it?" Ying Tianqing asked.
Su Liu said, "Try to make time, and my roommates will help."
"Okay, just make the arrangements. But I don't have any sweet potatoes or corn, and I don't have any seeds. I'll ask the others to exchange some tonight, and you can come get them tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, senior. I have harvested some beets. I'll give you some." Su Liu brought two bundles of beets and handed them to Ying Tianqing.
Ying Tianqing was so touched, "So much? You are so generous."
The purchase price of beets in the market is very high. Even though there are only two bundles, they can be sold for a lot of money.
Su Liu said, "You and Senior Gray have helped me so much, I don't have anything good to give you. These two bundles are for Senior, please help me pass them on."
"Okay, I'll tell him when he comes."
Su Liu left in a hurry before he finished his work.
At the farm, Yan Ziyan and the other two were inspecting the river.
This river, winding down from the mountains, passes by Sulu's farm.
Under the sunset, the river sparkles and is very beautiful.
"Can you eat tilapia?" Yan Ziyan was disgusted when she learned that Su Liu had brought tilapia back. "After they mutate, they become broken and smelly skeletons. It's disgusting."
Su Liu said, "I'll grill some fish for you tonight, and then you'll understand why I insist on raising tilapia."
Lan Xiang'er held a book in her arms, pushed up her glasses, and said, "I've done a lot of research and I think it would be better to dig a separate pond to raise tilapia."
If tilapia fry are released into a river, there are too many uncontrollable factors.
Especially if they are infected, it will cause huge losses downstream.
Su Liu pondered and said, "Then we have to dig another pond. Where can I borrow an excavator?"
Rosa took out her laptop and said, "My boyfriend is in the engineering department. They have an excavation robot. It shouldn't be difficult to borrow it for a while."
Soon, the excavation robot arrived at the farm.
Su Liu chose a location and the excavation robot began to rotate and plow deeply.
But none of the four of them knew how to operate it, and made a mess of it.
Fortunately, the excavation robot was extremely efficient. After turning on automatic operation, it quickly dug out a pond of one thousand square meters.
"It's too big," Rosa said.
Su Liu said, "It won't be that big. It's actually quite small for a fish pond."
Then, pumps and pipes were used to bring water from the stream, giving the pond its initial shape.
But this is only a semi-finished product. The real difficulty is still laying the anti-seepage membrane, installing the filtration system and water pump, etc.
None of the four were good at this, and it was physically demanding work. After working on it for several hours without making any progress, they ended up getting really angry.
Yan Ziyan suggested paying someone to install it, but was unanimously opposed.
"My wallet is empty." said Lan Xianger.
Su Liu sighed: "I spent all the money I just got on these devices."
Yan Ziyan and Rosa looked at each other.
Their wallets were empty.
The tilapia are currently being kept in the school's large fish tank. Su Liu only needs to bring some feed to feed them regularly, so there is no need to worry about the fish pond.
It was already late at night when they returned to the dormitory. Su Liu went to sleep, while the other three still had to study hard for the plantation engineer exam.
When she was finally able to lie down on the bed, Yan Ziyan muttered, "I've never worked so hard in my life."
"But it's fulfilling," Rosa said, closing her eyes. "Even dating seems boring to me."
Lan Xiang'er also likes this busy feeling. She has always aspired to become a plant grower, and the current arrangement will only speed up the arrival of results.
Filled with fatigue and hope, everyone in the dormitory slept soundly.
Then they were all late in the morning.
Compared to the three people who were busy putting on their clothes, Su Liu simply skipped class.
She made an appointment with the people in the market, and they would come to buy the beets today.
Excluding the part that was given away and the loss during the harvest, Su Liu obtained nearly two thousand kilograms of beets.
This amount is considered a lot for a private grower.
The buyer did not give any bargaining power and the final weight was 1967.36 catties, so the price was calculated based on 1960 catties.
Moreover, the price was rounded down to 48 star coins per kilogram, but in the end, Su Liu was only given 92,000 star coins.
Su Liu also refused: "This is not right, it's too much."
The buyer glared at her with a cold and noble air. "If you go to the market to sell it yourself, it will be time-consuming and laborious, and you will have to pay for car rental and stall fees. Can you really get 90,000 star coins?"
“…” It makes so much sense, I can’t refute it.
The acquirer took out a business card and handed it to her casually: "Let's cooperate next time."
After they took the beets away, Su Liu turned around and threw the business card into the trash can.
Stingy acquirers, blacklist them!
Speaking of blocking, Su Liu suddenly remembered that he had blocked Admiral Ives.
Since being blocked, the Ives family has never contacted her again.
Although this was very unfair to the admiral, Su Liu felt that this was enough.
She was just an insignificant little person among the crowd, small and fragile, unable to withstand the wealth of the wealthy and noble.
She just wants to create value with her own hands and live a peaceful life.
That’s what Su Liu thought.
But when she arrived at the farm and saw the admiral standing by the pond, she was so shocked that she stumbled and almost fell into the ditch.
"Go, General?" Are you dazzled?
Huo Jie, dressed in military uniform, stood in the desolate valley. Behind him, the sky was filled with endless sunsets, which seemed to converge into a gorgeous sea of fire, making sparks burn in the general's emerald eyes.
"I'm just passing by," Huo Jie said, "and I came to see the person who blocked me."
Su Liu was instantly embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. He bit the bullet and explained: "I was careless."
Huo Jie accepted this and said very tolerantly, "Can you let me out of the little dark room now?"
