Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

It was just staying up all night, which was nothing to Li Changhui. After returning home, he didn't want to rest any longer, and wanted to cook lunch together.

Lin He couldn't help it, but he ate lunch early today, so he just took a nap with him. The weather is hot, but it's still cool at home.

After resting for half an hour, Lin He was going to go to the mountain to have a look and let Li Changhui lie down again, but he was not willing.

"Okay then, you can go for a walk on the mountain with me. Let's go and see what kind of grass we want to grow to feed cows and sheep. It's best for pigs to eat."

Lin He took the sickle on the back and was picked up by Li Changhui without any hassle. Then he went to get the hoe, but Li Changhui still took it.

In the end, I had no choice but to go out with Li Changhui empty-handed.

I have to mention that since the two got together, Li Changhui has become more considerate and careful than before, and he is also extraordinarily caring about taking care of Lin He.

Just like the small matter of carrying a hoe and carrying a basket, it can be saved if possible.

If it wasn't for Lin He's need to work to make himself tired so that he could sleep well at night and not dream randomly, it is estimated that the work in the fields would also be saved.

"Cows like to eat thatch very much, especially the thatch that has just grown recently."

Li Changhui often plows the land and grazes cattle, so he naturally knows the preferences of cattle.

"There are also corn sorghum leaves. Every summer, many people will specially cut the corn sorghum leaves to feed cattle and sheep. I don't know."

The two of them planned to go around the field first, then go to see what the sheep like to eat, and then find a suitable place to grow grass for cattle.

Just like raising chickens before, enclose a piece of grass and leave the other side empty. When the grass on this side is eaten up, put the cattle and sheep on the other side, and trim and fertilize the grass on this side so that they can grow again.

However, the pasture for feeding cattle is easy to handle. Whether it is thatched corn leaves or dry straw, they are all good feed.

But what the sheep likes to eat, the two of them really don't know.

"Ask people who have raised sheep. They should know better, or go to the mountains to observe more in the past few days, and then they will know."

Today the sun was a little bit bright, and the two of them quickly arrived at the cooking room. There was a well nearby, and they used to dive into the well when cooking and washing dishes. At the moment, the three aunts were washing.

The others had eaten and were resting in the shade in the vineyard. They had been busy working all morning, and they didn't rest for a while, so they didn't have the energy to work in the afternoon.

Seeing the two coming, the three aunts hurriedly greeted each other, and continued to be busy with their work.

The boss and his wife are not so well-behaved people, as long as they work hard.

"Auntie, do you know anyone who raises sheep?"

"Sheep? I know you. There aren't many people who raise sheep, but there are also quite a few. There are quite a few people who work here who have sheep at home."

"Really? That's great. We were talking about asking about sheep."

An old man stood up from the vine nearby: "Mrs. Li, the sheep on the mountain are well raised. They are fat and strong, and they are even fatter than when I bought them."

Although it hasn't been kept for a long time, anyone with sharp eyes or who is familiar with sheep can tell that they are much more energetic than when they first bought them.

"Well, I want to ask if you know what the sheep like to eat most. We are going to plant some."

"Grow sheep grass?"

The uncle was a little surprised. There are so many sheep raising, but I have never heard of sheep grass growing. Besides, there is not enough food for a few sheep on such a big mountain?Where do we need to grow?

But this was the arrangement of the boss, he felt strange, and he couldn't say it directly, he could only recall the memories.

"Sheep are different from cows. They don't like grass with sharp leaves like thatch and straw. They like to eat grass with wider leaves, such as sweet potato leaves, mulberry leaves, bean sprouts, bitter herbs, and fresh dandelions. "

"By the way, there are a lot of young leaves on the vines on the mountain. Sheep also like to eat them. In winter, they eat carrots, pumpkins and sweet potatoes. Sheep are very delicate and only eat tender grass. It is much more troublesome than raising cattle."

Unexpectedly, the uncle knew a lot about raising sheep, and he said a lot. Lin He kept it in mind and prepared to make reasonable arrangements.

"Thank you uncle, then you guys rest first, let's go to the mountain to have a look."

At present, cattle and sheep are all free-range, so it is still necessary to plan and plan carefully. These two mountains are just two mountains. If you want to raise a large flock of sheep, it may not be enough if you don’t feed them specially.

The vineyards are not far from the two mountains, but they are not close. In addition, the sun is high today. When they reached the mountains and finally got shade from the trees, they were already sweating profusely.

"It's too hot, this damn weather, wait for a while, you can't go out at noon."

Lin He used his hands as a fan. Fortunately, although it was hot under the sun, it was very cool under the shade of the trees, and he soon felt comfortable.

"It's already the beginning of summer, and it will get hotter and hotter. Drink some water, and it will be cooler on the mountain."

Li Changhui took the water bag from the pannier, and Lin He didn't even know when he took it.

After drinking a few sips of water, Lin He asked for a sickle to cut some hogweed and bring it back to feed the pigs when he returned.

There is still a lot of wild boar grass on the mountain, so I cut it off and put it in the empty space aside, and I will take it with me when I go back.

The two were cutting pigweed as they walked, and the first thing they found was a hillside that had been scooped up by sheep.

Lin He clicked his tongue twice: "At this speed, it will be a matter of time before this mountain is gnawed bare. Sure enough, we still have to plant pastures and feed them manually."

Li Changhui also nodded secretly. He had driven the sheep up the mountain himself before, but he had never paid attention to the land gnawed by the sheep.

The vines and thorns that were once lush and green are now only bare and thin branches.

Most of the turf on the ground has been gnawed bare, exposing the brownish-yellow soil, and some grasses have been dug out even by their roots.

As far as the extent of the damage is concerned, it may take some time to restore it to its original appearance.

Especially compared to other green and shiny places, the contrast is particularly strong.

Especially Lin He said beside him: "It seems that this place has only been left for three days, and it has been turned into this look. It may not be restored within two months."

"Three days?" Li Changhui was really surprised. How could the grassland be turned into barren in three days?
Lin He nodded vigorously: "Of course, I have been here for the past three days to see it, and I just changed places today."

Li Changhui pondered: "It seems that we really need to grow sheep grass, but Xiaohe, the sheep, actually don't have to be grazed on our own hillside."

"Oh? You mean, can you go to another hillside?"

Looking around, you can indeed see that there are many other hills nearby, and there are quite a few of them.

But they bought these two mountains at the beginning, wasn't it because the other mountains were relatively steep and unsuitable for farming?
