One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 70 Raising Donkeys
She scratched her head, all the words she had heard flashed in her mind.

Donkey temper, stubborn donkey, poor donkey skills, smooth hair...

After thinking about it over and over again, Yan Qingzhi felt that the experience of her predecessors was always correct, and she should work hard in this area.

With that in mind, she stepped forward again.

Moreover, this time, he brought the carrot tied to the branch to the donkey's mouth, and the other hand hurried over while the donkey was nibbling on the carrot and smoothed the other's hair.

Although the donkey was angry, he saw that he had no grudge against eating it, so he opened his mouth and chewed a carrot down a few times.

After I finished eating, I was still a little dissatisfied, after all, it was time for dinner!
One carrot is enough for shit!

Yan Qingzhi seemed to know what it was thinking, and hurriedly fed it all the carrots he had taken before.

After eating seven or eight carrots, the black donkey's mood stabilized a lot. He stared at him with big eyes and long eyelashes like a fan. He looked at Yan Qingzhi flickering like that, obviously he was not full!

But Yan Qingzhi has nothing to eat...

She scratched her head in embarrassment, turned her head to look at Yan Qingzhu, and expressed the deep powerlessness in her heart with her eyes.

Is this thing edible?

Moreover, she still doesn't know what donkeys usually eat! ?
I can only know that feeding carrots is only after the old couple fed them like this yesterday!
If she had thought that raising a donkey would be so troublesome, she must have asked a few more questions before going to bed yesterday...

Seeing her, Yan Qingzhu spread out his hands helplessly. This is his blind spot of knowledge, and he doesn't know it!

Yan Qingzhi was worried that she would rashly feed the donkey blindly and then feed the donkey to death, so she did not dare to take out the rice noodles in the space and feed the donkey.

According to the inexplicable shame in his heart, he could only stand on the road and persuade the black donkey with kind words.

"Donkey, donkey! Can you bear it a little longer? I'll prepare food for you when I find a village, okay!? Good!"

This donkey is not yet an adult, it's just a half-sized black donkey. It has a shiny coat and is fat and healthy. It has been raised well in the past, and it is considered human. After waiting for a while, Yan Qingzhi really doesn't plan to feed it. .

He rolled his eyes and threw away Yan Qingzhi's hand that was stroking his hair. Although he didn't make trouble, he didn't give Yan Qingzhi a good face.

Yan Qingzhi looked at her hand, clenched it into a fist, took a deep breath, and reassured herself that it was not worth being angry with the donkey!

The black donkey also saw that she was in a bad mood, turned his head and grinned, and quaked a few times, as if to say: "You're still angry!? A rookie who can't even raise a donkey! If you don't have food, you and What am I talking about!"

Yan Qingzhi was in a trance and actually read its heart, and also tasted that its attitude towards herself was very bad!

Yan Qingzhi: ...(||_)
At this time, Yan Qingzhu was extremely thankful for Yan Qingzhi's persistence just now.

It's good now, this kind of useless idleness is directly accepted by his old sister, he just needs to hide his happiness in his heart.

Yan Qingzhi let out a long sigh, looking at the donkey who didn't want to pay attention to her, and felt that it was necessary for him to find a reliable person to ask.

How do you raise a donkey?

Not only that, but she also began to worry about the future life of her sister and brother.

As far as the level they are showing now, is it really okay to let them go out to open up wasteland?
Farming or something, can the two really do it?

With this deep anxiety, she pushed Yan Qingzhu onto the donkey's back again.

The optimistic Yan Qingzhu talked to her about the future.

"Find a village or county and stop for a while! Always prepare something! We only have a few kitchen knives left. If something happens, it's a bit awkward to use as a weapon!"

Yan Qingzhi nodded, followed by climbing onto the back of the donkey, pulling the reins and pinching the black donkey's belly, allowing it to move forward along the road.

The donkey didn't get enough to eat, and the donkey didn't run fast. Yan Qingzhi didn't feed others, and it wasn't even too strong, so he turned a blind eye.

After running along the road for a while, they entered a small county town at about [-] hours.

The county town is not big, and the city walls are mottled, but there are many people entering the city.

This place is close to the city of Ayurveda, and there are several times more people passing by than in previous years. Even if the people who have migrated cannot enter the city, there are always merchants who quickly set their sights on the blank market after the population surge.

The two brothers and sisters randomly found a group of people with similar painting styles to them, and they sneaked into the city after their buttocks.

The county town is not very prosperous, and although there seem to be more people coming and going, there are still faint traces of poverty in the past.

Except for the main road, which is a flagstone road, the rest of the trails are all dirt roads.

The surrounding yards are also made of adobe, and even most of the shops are not covered with floor tiles, at most are only covered with red bricks, and some are simply stepped on the ground.

There are also small buildings, but it can be clearly seen that they are newly built. I think they are some wealthy businessmen and wealthy households. They were temporarily built because they received news of the migration and paid attention to this place.

However, such a grade of teahouse restaurant is obviously not the consumption of the sister and brother.

They still inquired along the way, and found a small inn that could take care of the animals and settled down for the time being.

The donkey was led to the backyard by the little Er at the door, Yan Qingzhi sighed deeply and asked the little Er about feeding the donkey.

The price of hay is not the same here. It is only two cents a pound for hay, and four cents a catty for feed. Although the market price of wheat bran does not meet this standard, after all, there are labor costs to be included in it!It is unreasonable to come to a place like this just to calculate according to the raw materials!

Yan Qingzhi inquired about it. For a black donkey, it costs about four or five pounds to eat a meal. Xiao Er is a real person and told Yan Qingzhi a lot about raising donkeys.

For example, you can't just eat food, and you can't give the donkey too much to eat.Donkeys get lazy the more they eat, they stop working when they are full!
Also, what do donkeys eat on weekdays.

Like branches, leaves, grass, vegetables, grains, apples... Anyway, it eats all these things!

Even if it is fresh grass and leaves, it doesn't matter, the only thing to pay attention to is that you can't eat cold grass with dew...

Yan Qingzhi remembered these things carefully. After thinking about it for a while, she hesitated and asked for a pound of feed and three pounds of grass for the black donkey, and let them feed them.

After the donkey got it done, Yan Qingzhi and Xiao Er bought another hundred steamed buns, packed them in cloth bags, and kept them on the road!
And today, the two of them had a meal with meat and soup.

After eating and drinking, and inquired about the surrounding situation with Xiao Er, the two led the donkey to the market here.

Of course, you can't buy all the grass and fodder you eat on weekdays at the inn.

There were many merchants around, and they soon found a group of people who were dressed similarly to them, and followed them into the market!
