Chapter 133: Raise some more sheep
Fortunately, there are not many people raising cattle on the mountain...
Wait, what is that???
"Hey, hey, hey! Little Bell, look, there's a man over there. We can ask him for directions!"
Two figures suddenly appeared on the hillside in the distance, one lively and the other calm. Both of them were carrying hiking backpacks behind them. They looked quite professional and were holding trekking poles in their hands. They were fully equipped, but I don't know why they appeared here.
Xia Heng didn't want to see anyone, so he immediately turned around and walked towards the cowshed. He had a stern face and continued to milk behind the cow, hoping that the two men would pretend not to see him and walk away quickly.
"Hello, sir. Are you an employee of the villa? We came to the mountain to play, but accidentally got lost. How do we get back down the mountain? Can you help show us the way down?"
The two girls followed him relentlessly, grabbing Xia Heng like he was grabbing a life-saving straw. Xia Heng was speechless.
This hill is not very big, how could it be possible to deviate from the main road to the cowshed? These two people must have done it on purpose. How could someone be so directionally challenged?
"Hello, hello? Hello? Can't you hear me?"
Ding Dong leaned half of his body into the cowshed, waving his hands constantly, trying to attract Xia Heng's attention.
However, Xia Heng was determined not to pay attention to them. Seeing the man's indifference, Yao Linger scratched her head and asked, "Could this person be visually impaired?"
"That's impossible. How can I milk a cow if I can't see?"
"Even if you can't see, you should be able to hear."
"Isn't it said that those who can't see can't hear?"
"What are you talking about? If you can't hear, you can't speak, right?"
"That should be the case, but he clearly saw us just now, right?"
“How do visually impaired people see people?”
Xia Heng: “…”
Are these two women idiots?
No matter how he listened, he felt that their IQs were not normal. He could no longer bear it and almost stood up and asked these two stupid women to go away, so as not to infect the buffalo with their stupidity, otherwise people who drank the milk produced by the stupid cows would become stupid people.
At that moment, Fourth Master Yang came out of the cowshed on the other side, leading two cows. Seeing Yao Ling'er and Ding Dong, he stopped and asked, "Where are you two from? What are you doing here?"
“Oh, there’s someone!”
"Great, let's ask him for directions!"
Mr. Yang Si heard that the two girls came to climb the mountain and pick fruits, but accidentally got lost. In his entire life, he had never imagined that someone would get lost in Yantou Mountain.
Yantou Mountain is flat and stable. The two people looked at the village at the foot of the mountain and walked on the main road. There was no way they could get lost!
Ding Dong heard Fourth Master Yang's question and said with a silly smile, "Uncle, we didn't pay attention to the road. We were just looking at the scenery along the way. We were taking pictures when we ran here. We are so sorry to have caused you trouble."
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Seeing that the two of them had a serious attitude and did look a little confused, Mr. Yang asked them to rest near the cowshed first and then take them down the mountain after he finished milking.
"We're short on manpower today, so I can't be busy right now. Dr. Jiang is out, too. He said he found some purple fir in the mountains. Can you guys wait a moment?"
Ding Dong nodded repeatedly, "Okay, uncle, you can do your thing and don't worry about us. We'll just wait here. By the way, uncle, can we take pictures here?"
Mr. Yang Siye has long since switched to a smartphone. Plus, with more young people coming and going in the village, this old man knows more than before.
I know that young people nowadays, both men and women, like to take photos and pay attention to the quality of the photos. There are quite a few people who come to the cattle farm to take photos, but for those who got lost and came here, this is the first time they have seen these two extraordinary women.
"Sure, you can take whatever pictures you want. Just don't get lost again. If you get lost, I won't be able to find you."
After giving the instructions, Mr. Yang quickly led the cow to the cowshed and started milking.
He is a professional cattle breeder in the village. His family has been raising buffaloes since he was young, and has been doing so for decades. He loves buffaloes and has a special liking for these gentle and large animals. After Xia Wu started raising cattle in the mountains, he was the first one to hire him.
Mr. Yang Siye also had a few cows at home. He would graze one or two every day, or even ten or eight. In addition, his grandson was not married yet, so he agreed to it as it was time for him to give it a try.
He occasionally lives in the mountains. Recently, there were two buffaloes about to give birth in the mountains and needed someone to look after them, so he came to live in the mountains.
Besides him, there were two other young men on the mountain, one was Dr. Jiang Xunjiang and the other was Xia Wu's brother.
When Dr. Jiang was around, he would chat with Mr. Yang Si, but when Dr. Jiang was not around, there were only him and Xia Heng on the mountain, and they didn't talk at all.
Now suddenly two young girls came, chattering. They took photos from a distance and then went near the cowshed to chat with Mr. Yang Siye. Mr. Yang Siye happily answered their questions.
As the old man and the two young men chatted, they revealed each other's secrets.
Yao Ling'er and Ding Dong are sisters who came from the same orphanage. Both of them had some mild intellectual problems and had poor self-care abilities when they were young. Because they were girls, they were not adopted and grew up in the orphanage. Later, they were admitted to university and graduated. The two have been together ever since. After graduation, due to physical reasons, the two could not find suitable jobs, and by chance they entered the live broadcast industry.
"Don't look at us two clumsy people, but we have a lot of fans online~" Ding Dong is a little proud. Their account is [Dongdong and Lingdang'er], which mainly does food reviews. Occasionally, they also shoot some unboxing videos to help fans conduct on-site tests.
He has almost one million followers on the entire network, making him a fairly big blogger in the circle.
Fourth Master Yang didn't really see any intellectual problems with the two girls. They seemed quite innocent, speaking and acting like children. Looking at their equipment, which was quite similar to Yang Hongwen's, he said with a grin, "You two are really amazing, really remarkable. I didn't realize it."
Both girls were a little proud, and their relationship with Fourth Master Yang became much closer.
Fourth Master Yang asked them if they wanted some buffalo milk. Yao Ling'er and Ding Dong looked at each other and said in unison, "Drink!"
To be honest, they had already smelled the aroma of milk emanating from the bucket, and their appetite was almost aroused. As food review bloggers, it was their first time to drink the fragrant freshly squeezed buffalo milk. How could they miss such good video material?
Fourth Master Yang went back to the house and found two disposable cups. He used a gourd-shaped ladle to scoop milk from the milk bucket and poured it into their cups. "Drink carefully. If you like, add more."
The two girls did not drink the milk immediately. Instead, they put the milk aside and took out professional filming equipment from their backpacks. After everything was in place, they both appeared in the camera, sitting side by side, like twin sisters, one waving her left hand and the other waving her right hand.
"Big guy, I'm Dongdong,"
"I'm Bell."
"We came to blogger Xia Xia's place at the request of her fans. We heard that the fruits and vegetables she grows on her mountain are very delicious, and we've been looking forward to it for a long time!"
"And we also unlocked some hidden delicacies today. Look what we found on the mountain~"
The camera turns and there is a hillside behind us. The hillside is covered with green grass and a stream like a waterfall flows down the mountain. The scenery is magnificent and very pure.
The camera was focused on Mr. Yang giving the two sisters buffalo milk. The two sisters responded one sentence at a time, in perfect harmony as if they had rehearsed it many times. The noise they made attracted Xia Heng and he showed up.
He looked over and had no idea where the two girls got so much to say from. They chattered for a long time over a glass of milk. After they finally drank it, they would stop after taking a sip and talk a lot more.
However, their strength lies in their sincere feelings. The expressions on their faces when drinking milk are as if they are tasting some rare delicacy in the world. The adjectives they use are just right every time. It is hard to believe that they have mild intellectual problems, and even to the point where they could not take care of themselves at one point.
Yao Ling'er and Ding Dong had never expected that the buffalo milk they encountered while lost would be so delicious. They felt like they were on some large ranch. Many milk brands have their own ranches, and their slogans are also high mountain pure water, natural ranch, etc., but in fact the processed milk is not that delicious. On the contrary, some people who have been abroad often say that the taste of foreign milk is completely different from that in China.
Many people who cannot adapt to drinking pure milk in the country will fall in love with pure milk when they go abroad.
Yao Ling'er actually doesn't like drinking milk very much.
But today, she was really convinced!
How can there be milk that tastes so good?
After they finished their drink, they ordered another. Fourth Master Yang was in high spirits, waiting for Yao Ling'er to come over. Ding Dong pointed the filming equipment at Yao Ling'er and said to the camera, "Even someone like Ling'er who doesn't like milk is impressed. It's really delicious!"
In the camera, Xia Heng's figure flashed by as he stuck his head out to watch the fun, and he squatted down again to milk the cows.
Although it was only for two or three seconds, Ding Dong saw her. She exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?" Wasn't there a handsome and rough milker just now?
She turned her head and looked in the direction of Xia Heng, who was the man who had just ignored her and Lingling.
After Master Yang Si finished his work, Yao Ling'er and Ding Dong had also finished filming the video. Master Yang Si told them that there were steamed buns made with buffalo milk in the Shuijing campus, and if they were lucky, they could also drink buffalo milk porridge. Last time, Xia Wu promised to sell buffalo milk to Li Qin, whose in-laws ran a breakfast shop. Inspired by this, she also decided to use buffalo milk to cook porridge. So, there was a new buffalo milk porridge in the Shuijing courtyard, which was very popular among the elderly and children.
Yangmei, who sells iced drinks at the foot of the mountain, was also inspired and served a buffalo milk porridge, which was also very popular.
Hearing that there are more buffalo milk-related delicacies at the foot of the mountain, the two food bloggers can't wait.
When they arrived at the courtyard by the well, they saw a pot of steamed buns coming out of the pot, with a rich milky aroma. Yao Ling'er immediately decided to spend money to buy a few buns to try. The buns on the mountain can be sold, and the price is the same as online. People from nearby villages often ride their bikes to buy buns.
Everyone says it tastes good.
Three yuan a steamed bun was acceptable. Yao Ling'er and Ding Dong each ate two steamed buns and ordered a bowl of buffalo milk porridge. After eating, they followed the workers on the mountain to search the orchard that was about to be cleared...
They originally planned to stay here for a day, but they ate one kind of food after another, and each one was very delicious. They heard that the barbecue stall at the foot of the mountain was also very delicious, so they decided to stay for a few more days and rented a house in the village.
Yang Guofeng was responsible for their safety and helped them find a vacant room in the home of a woman living alone in the village. The environment was definitely not comparable to hotel accommodation, but the two girls were not picky.
They stayed here for four or five days, eating this and that every day. Sometimes they could even run to the homes of the villagers in Yanggou Village following the aroma. They were willing to spend money, and their two daughters were good-looking and had childlike personalities. Everyone in the village liked them very much.
When Dongdong and Lingdang'er were about to leave, they still kept in touch with Xia Wu, and the villagers said goodbye to them reluctantly.
Ding Dong and Yao Ling'er said they would make a good video to help them promote the village. Yang Guofeng was so happy.
Xia Heng stayed in Yanggou Village for seven or eight days, and gradually forgot what his previous life was like. He was so happy that he didn't want to leave.
But he didn't look for trouble, trouble came to him. The company needed him to rush back, and it was an emergency.
Xia Heng left quietly one morning without disturbing anyone, and even left after milking the morning cows.
Some people in the village said they saw him at the entrance of the village. He hitchhiked to the town and took the bus to the city. After that, no one knew where he went.
Xia Wu didn't care much about it. They were all adults and could come and go freely. It wasn't like she really needed milkers.
Mr. Yang Si introduced Xia Wu to a father and son who could take over her responsibility for looking after the buffaloes in the mountains. Both of them could cook and stay in the mountains for a long time. However, there was one drawback: the son of the father and son combination was autistic and had been autistic since childhood. He was capable of working, but he didn't like to talk to people.
But with his father watching him, he was quite obedient.
The father and son are named Zhao Shun and Zhao Heng respectively. They are not from Yanggou Village, but distant relatives of Mr. Yang Si. Their family is poor and they have no one else to rely on. The two of them receive subsistence allowances. They are honest and capable, but they just can't find a job.
Xia Wu met the father and son. Neither of them was very talkative, but they were very hardworking, especially the autistic son Zhao Heng. He took care of every aspect of taking care of the buffaloes and had no complaints even if he stayed in the cowshed working all day.
Xia Wu was very satisfied with them and provided them with a row of houses on the mountain, including food and accommodation. The father and son started working there quickly.
The father and son were very satisfied to find such a good job right next to their home. Knowing that Xia Wu also bought insurance for them, they were full of energy every day and wished they could serve dozens of cows as ancestors.
Two days later, Zhao Shun found Xia Wu. Not daring to look her in the eye, he lowered his head and asked her if she wanted to raise more sheep on the mountain.
Both cows and sheep can eat grass. Sheep are easier to raise than cows. They can be taken out to graze during the day and brought back to the sheepfold at night. You can eat mutton in autumn and winter.
Xia Wu was very excited and immediately decided to raise another thirty or forty sheep, waiting to stew mutton for the New Year!
