passionate youth

Chapter 31

After Jiang Dahai and the others left.

Jiang Ping'an picked fifteen sheep from the sheep pen and brought them into the space farm for breeding. Three rams and twelve ewes were used for breeding.

The space was re-planned yesterday. There are seven floors of the farm that are empty, covered with green weeds, and a separate floor is used to raise sheep.

The sheep production team in front of them calls them Gobi sheep. They have black heads and white bodies, so they are also called black-headed sheep. The breed of sheep is brought from the grassland.

There are two litters a year, and one litter can produce one or two sheep.

It has the characteristics of cold resistance, drought resistance, fast growth and development, and strong vitality.

High-quality local varieties that can adapt to the growing environment of desert and semi-desert grasslands.

The body is large, the constitution is strong, the structure is uniform, and neither the male nor the ewe has horns.

The meat production performance is good, the lean meat rate is high, the smell of mutton is slight, the meat is delicate, the mutton is rich in umami, and the flavor is mellow.

It is said that it was once an offering to the palaces of Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, and Donglaishun, the capital city, used this kind of mutton.

Gobi sheep grow and develop rapidly, and lambs of six or seven months can weigh up to [-] catties, and the maximum can be over [-] catties.

Boiled mutton is delicious and delicious, and you will never get tired of eating it.

Roast lamb, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of fragrance.

Stir-fried mutton, the meat is tender, salty and delicious.

Boiled mutton is tender and delicious, not greasy.

"There is pork, there is mutton, and there will definitely be beef and donkey meat!" Jiang Pingan thought.

"I caught two bighead carp yesterday, and I will cook one for lunch today."

"The fish head is made into chopped pepper fish head, and the fish body is made into steamed fish and boiled fish fillets respectively. Such a big fish can be eaten for several meals."

"There are already a hundred rabbits. When I go home later, I will choose six castrated ones and take them to the rabbit nest outside for breeding."

After the group of rabbits expanded to one hundred, the space automatically adjusted the time ratio of the rabbit farm to be consistent with the outside.

Moreover, the vast majority of rabbits have been castrated, and only a small number of rabbits are left to breed offspring, so as not to cause the space to be flooded with rabbits.

"After a few days of collection, the species in the space are gradually enriched. Even if they enter the city immediately, it will not have much impact."

In the morning, Zhou Dazhu fed the sheep.

Jiang Pingan had nothing to do, went home and caught six castrated rabbits from the space, put them in the rabbit nest, and fed some grass and vegetable leaves.

The water content in vegetables is relatively high. After eating vegetables, basically you will not drink water.

Countless bales of hay were taken out from the space.

Enough to feed six rabbits and three chickens for half a year, put them on the compartment above the chicken coop, and stack them with firewood.

With ready-made hay, even if you are away from home, you can ask Miao Hexiang to take care of a few rabbits and chickens.

Seeing the three chickens lazily huddled together, Jiang Pingan also threw some vegetables for them to eat.

The rooster is easy to say, the eggs laid by two hens are his obvious income!Can't be too partial, just let them eat grass.

The three chickens immediately clucked forward, happily pecking at the vegetable leaves to eat.

After the family affairs were settled, Jiang Ping'an returned to the sheep farm.

There is no need to stare outside all the time. There is a kang in the bedroom, which is still warm. Just add more firewood at night.

He took away Zhou Dazhu's own bedding, and when he went out these years, he always brought his own bedding and food.

Jiang Ping'an put his bedding on the kang, then fetched the kang table, took out ink pens and letter paper, and began to write letters to Chen Xiuzhen.

"I was going to write it yesterday afternoon, but I didn't expect Mrs. Miao to be so smooth."

"Let me linger, unable to extricate myself, stuck in a deep situation, and don't want to get out."

"Let's write a letter to Xiuzhen in the name of a classmate, let alone any ambiguous words, so as not to leave any clues."

After making up his mind, Jiang Ping'an knew how to write. In addition to saying hello, he wrote about the family and the family.

But inside and outside the words, it is necessary to highlight Jiang Pingan's positive and optimistic spirit.

The excellent qualities of uniting the masses, working steadily, actively working hard, thinking diligently, and being good at learning.

"The content of the letter is not important, the important thing is to keep in touch."

After a while, after the letter was written, Jiang Ping'an checked it, put it in an envelope, affixed a stamp, and took it to the commune to deliver it when he had time.

"Widow Chen, hehe! The other day I called Xiuzhen like that, and I was so fascinated by her annoyed, angry and embarrassing appearance!"

Jiang Ping'an smiled, put the letter in the storage space, got off the kang, took a bench outside and sat against the wall, basking in the sun.

And took out the red leather notebook that Chen Zezhong gave him, and read it silently with a sinking heart.

He is familiar with this stuff, and it has much less content than later generations, but it is easy to memorize, with a little familiarity, he can roughly recite it.

Today is another sunny day, the sun is shining brightly.

Heizi ran to his feet, lying on the ground, curled up into a ball, sleeping with his eyes closed, but his tail kept wagging slightly.

The sun after the winter snow is just a scene, and you can't feel the slightest temperature. Even so, it can still make people lazy.

As Jinwu was promoted, Jiang Pingan concentrated on reciting the regulations silently. It only took an hour or two to memorize them fluently and recite them backwards.

"It's not bad, it's been a long time since I've studied so hard!"

When he came back to his senses, Jiang Ping'an put the notebook into the storage space, got up and stretched, subconsciously scanning the surroundings with the space.

"Huh? What's hidden under the stone in the salt field?"

Jiang Ping'an was startled suddenly, and with a move in his heart, he took a clay pot from under a big rock in the sheep pen and held it in his arms.

It is said that every place where cattle and sheep are herded will have at least one open space, where more than a dozen large stones with flat and smooth surfaces are placed.

This is the place where cowherds and shepherds regularly feed salt to cattle and sheep, which is called "salt tasting farm".

Feeding salt to livestock is necessary for the body and also stimulates appetite.

Every year, the supply and marketing cooperative distributes low-priced "feed salt" to each production team to feed livestock.

Cowherds and shepherds will fry and grind the salt into powder, put it in their satchels, and sprinkle the salt powder on the stones after they go to the "salt eating field".

Then the cattle and sheep will come to lick the salt powder.

The smooth stone surface can ensure the cleanness of the salt and reduce the loss, which achieves the purpose of feeding salt.

Jiang Ping'an looked down at the clay jar with an excited expression. He had passed through the space and found out that the clay jar contained gold bars.

"Gold bars! Damn! There is a clay pot under each stone, and there are gold bars in it!"

Jiang Ping'an was dumbfounded, only excited for a moment, and then felt a chill down his back, as if he had discovered something incredible!

There are 12 yuan stones in the salt field, and each stone weighs more than a hundred catties, scattered around in a patchwork manner.

At a depth of one or two meters below each stone, a clay pot was buried, and the pots were filled with gold bars wrapped in kraft paper!
"All these gold bars were buried by Zhou Dazhu? Where did he get so many gold bars?" Jiang Ping'an thought a lot.

According to the memory of the original owner, Zhou Dazhu proposed to build this sheep pen at first, and he has been guarding it all these years.

Therefore, these pots are most likely to be buried here by Zhou Dazhu.

"What is Zhou Dazhu's status? He seems to be a farm laborer."

"If he really buried these gold bars, then he must have other secret identities!"

Jiang Ping'an used space to scan the surroundings carefully, but found nothing else.

So with a thought, he put all the other eleven clay pots into the storage space.

Holding the pot in his arms, Jiang Ping'an turned around and sat down on the kang in the bedroom, and put the pot on the kang table and put it away.

The earthenware pots are ordinary, like wine jars, and the mouths of the pots are sealed with mud.

With a thought, Jiang Ping'an took out the gold bars from the clay pot without peeling off the sealing mud.

After counting, each clay pot contained ten large yellow croakers.
