Chapter 129 Radish Sprouts
Niuniu, who had helped process several fish, raised her hand excitedly, "Sister, can I feed the moose with you?"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Okay."
A box and a net bag of grouper, with about 20 kilograms of internal organs processed out.
Jiang Si packed the things in a bucket and took Niuniu back to the icebreaker.
In the surveillance video, the mother moose in the warehouse below is feeding her baby moose.
The fodder provided yesterday has been almost eaten.
In addition to feeding the animals, Jiang Si and Niu Niu also have to clean the pens and freshen the air in the warehouse.
When she noticed someone appearing, the moose mother stood up suddenly, her dark eyes revealing anxiety and nervousness.
Jiang Si and Niu Niu tried to keep their footsteps as low as possible, walked up to it, and quietly put the food into another isolated pen.
When the mother moose smelled the grouper's internal organs, her attention was immediately diverted, and her tall body moved frequently towards another pen.
The calf also moved to its rhythm.
Jiang Si connected the entrance to the fence and, after sufficient preparation, opened the final passage fence, allowing the mother moose to enter another enclosure.
Two little moose followed behind, and Jiang Sicai and Niu Niu picked up brooms and other cleaning supplies to deal with the moose feces.
The three moose had a lot of feces, and because the temperature on the icebreaker was maintained at around 18 degrees, the smell was quite strong in less than a day.
But there is no way around this, as the underground warehouse itself does not have an air circulation system or trenches for direct waste disposal.
Any easy modification of the icebreaker's structure may affect its normal operation.
To avoid such risks, Jiang Si has asked his father to figure out how to make a feces collection trough.
Of course, the best way to raise moose is to free-range.
They have adapted to the extremely cold temperatures. If they are released during the day to poop freely and come back at night, the amount of excretion can be reduced.
They felt relaxed and the air was fresher.
However, the baby moose are still too young. Once their resistance is a little stronger, they can be let out for a walk.
Jiang Si and Niu Niu cleaned up about 50 kilograms of feces, which they would put into the fermentation tank later to serve as fertilizer for crops.
As soon as I finished, I breathed a sigh of relief, and Niuniu said in surprise: "Sister, the moose mother ate all the internal organs!"
An adult moose consumes about 60 kilograms of grass and 20 kilograms of internal organs a day. The mother moose looked at them with a sense of lingering satisfaction, as if she had had a great treat.
Niuniu said excitedly: "Sister, it stuck out its tongue at us. It must still want to eat. I'll go fishing again and gut it again!"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Okay, but you must ensure your own safety."
Niuniu nodded happily, "Thank you, sister!"
A man who eats someone's food should be grateful, and a man who takes someone's money should be merciful.
The mother moose ate their food and was less irritable, and she even let them touch the baby moose through the fence.
The newborn moose are furry and very nice to touch. They are well-behaved and not afraid of people. I am full of curiosity about them.
The white little moose even stuck out its tongue and licked the palm of Jiang Si's hand.
The wet touch was itchy.
The gray little moose is a male, and the white little moose is a female. When they grow up, they will definitely be as beautiful as their mother moose.
Jiang Si gave them some more fodder, let them get some fresh air, then closed the window and went back to the first floor of the cabin with Niu Niu.
After they changed their clothes, Niu Niu couldn't wait to go ice fishing.
Seeing Jiang Si coming back alone, Shen Baoying, who was pickling salted fish, asked, "Where is Niuniu?"
Jiang Sidao: "She went fishing again."
Zhang Qingfang raised her head worriedly, "Why let her go alone? It's too dangerous. What if she falls into the ice?"
Jiang Si shook her head. "Big Black and Little Black are following her. They have life jackets and pagers. If she screams, everyone will hear her. She'll be fine. Don't forget that this is the end of the world. Only courage and bravery can accompany her to truly move on."
When Shen Baoying heard Jiang Si's words, she felt sorry for her because she had suffered so much in her previous life.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be so strict that everyone must master the survival skills.
Fortunately, in this life, there is Qin Shen, who understands her, accompanies her, and can warm her heart.
Zhang Qingfang was still worried. "I'll go check on her later. But there are too many fish. If I catch so many every day, where will I put them?"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Ice and snow are the best refrigerators. The temperature is so low that it can be stored for a year or two without any problems. Just leave it there."
Zhang Qingfang smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of attracting wild animals."
Shen Baoying was also worried. "That's right, there are moose and snow monkeys. Will there be white tigers, wild wolves, or something else?"
Indeed... there is a white tiger...
But with Qin Shen here, other ferocious beasts who want to come over have to consider their own strengths and weaknesses.
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Don't worry, we can just throw it onto the icebreaker. They won't dare to get close."
"Besides, even if the computer was taken away, there are still plenty of fish in the sea. If they dare to come, we will catch them all and make them work for us."
"Okay then."
In one afternoon, under the leadership of Jiang Linhai, half of the foundation of the greenhouse was poured with cement.
The progress is quite fast.
At this rate, the greenhouse will have a basic prototype within a week.
Jiang Linhai said, "I hope it won't snow again in the next few days."
As long as it doesn't snow, the temperature will slowly rise. As long as it can stabilize at 20 or 30 degrees, they will still live comfortably even in snow and ice.
Weather forecasters have long been unable to predict the climate of the end of the world and now rely entirely on everyone's predictions.
Jiang Si glanced at the cloudless sky and said, "It shouldn't snow. The temperature today has risen a little bit compared to yesterday."
Jiang Linhai smiled and said, "I hope so."
They were not in a hurry to build the greenhouse; they just wanted to finish it in one go so as not to feel stressed.
Jiang Si handed them some hot drinks, then turned around and went to the side to check the radish seedlings that Zhang Qingfang had planted earlier.
Almost all the radish seedlings were frozen to death.
It lay on the ground with its eyes wide open, and its entire plant was covered with a layer of frost.
Jiang Si sighed, "Radishes that haven't experienced damage really don't grow big. What a pity."
Jiang Linhai heard her sighing, "Go check out the seedlings I planted over there in the woods. They've been through so much damage. See if they've grown up."
Jiang Si was happy and was about to go when Jiang Linhai said to Qin Shen, who was working hard, "You go with her, just in case there's any danger."
Qin Shen stood up and said, "Okay."
Jiang Si and he came to the collapsed forest, looked left and right, and found only a series of monkey footprints.
Based on the large holes that had been dug, Jiang Si judged that these radish seedlings that were planted casually should be alive.
A moose eats 60 kilograms of food a day.
