My village can't be like this

Chapter 320 Temporary Rescue Station

When his old man asked, Zhang An naturally couldn't say that he caught it in space.

"I went to the mountains a few days ago and didn't catch it. Today I saw someone selling it. I guess it was hunted in the mountains, so I bought it."

When Zhang An went into the mountains before, he told his family that he was going to catch sheep.

Later, all the sheep were moved into the space by Zhang An, so it was inconvenient to get them out.

"I guess he was caught in a net. There are no injuries on his body. He should be able to survive."

According to their son's character, Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang felt that the sheep should be kept at home.

"What are you raising? It just so happens that Chen Ze and the others are coming to kill the deer tomorrow. We will kill them all together. We will eat mutton during the Chinese New Year this year."

Zhang An originally tied these two sheep with knives, so how could they raise them?

Moreover, most of the ewes in the space are pregnant. After a few more months, the number will increase.

Zhang An planned to find a reason to go to the mountains at that time, and then get a few of them and raise them openly.

Upon hearing his son's words, Zhang Jianguo glanced at Zhang An unconsciously, wondering why his temperament had changed today.

Then the father and his son brought the two sheep into a pen and locked them up, planning to send them on their way tomorrow.

"Is this a wild goat? Why does it look like a pony?"

Su Ying looked at the two sheep and thought their appearance was funny.

Its limbs are longer than those of ordinary sheep, and it also has a beard like Mr. Guan, which is really cute.

"This hair only grows in winter, and only on rams that grow to a certain size."

These two sheep were both male sheep in the flock. They were already adults. Then, under the leadership of the leader, they took refuge with Zhang An.

So during this period of time in space, I was carefree all day long, and there were delicious space spring water and green grass.

Each one has grown again, and now they are estimated to weigh eighty or ninety pounds.

But when Zhang An was chasing sheep in the mountains before, he found that the two of them were too cowardly.

After being caught up by Xiaohu, he immediately surrendered without even a hint of resistance.

So Zhang An has been eyeing them both for a long time. Only warriors are welcome in the space, cowards are just waiting to be stabbed.

No, when Zhang An wanted to eat mutton during the Chinese New Year, the first thing he thought of was these two.

After unloading the sheep, Wang Fang noticed several pots and jars inside the carriage.

"These jars are beautifully made and cooked well."

Especially the few Kowloon bottles that Hou Liang gave him at the end, Wang Fang couldn't put it down.

Immediately, I boiled a large basin of boiling water and washed them all clean.

When the sweet wine in the pot is fermented, put it in it.

In rural areas, every woman who has become a household treasures these jars and jars.

Because they are so versatile, they can be used to pickle sauerkraut and pickled radish, as well as pickles and prunes.

Anyway, these stalls are one of the indispensable tools in ordinary people's homes now.

Zhang An has seen many people in the village fight for a long time over a few jars when their families are separated.

Especially those earthen jars that look good and are easy to use. Everyone wants to get one more. After all, it costs money to buy a new one.

Zhang An returned to the backyard and found that the two black-necked cranes had not left yet.

Instead, he stood in Zhang An's fish pond, leisurely eating the lively fish in it.

Looking at it like this, these two good guys are relying on Zhang An's family.

"Come on, I can't take care of you, then I'll find someone who can take care of you."

Zhang An shook his head and went back to the house to call Zhu Yuliang.

Eating some fish at home is a trivial matter, but people come and go in this village, and Zhang An's family is still at the entrance of the village.

Zhang An, a person in the village, is not worried, but people outside are not sure.

If someone with good intentions comes one day and sees it, and reports it to him, it will be a big deal.

"Hello."

He was probably still at work. Zhu Yuliang's voice on the phone was a little serious.

"Ju Zhu, I, Zhang An, am still at work."

"Hey, Zhang An, long time no see. What's going on?"

"It's like this. There are two guys with one security in my yard. I really can't drive them away. Why don't you come and arrest them."

Hearing Zhang An's rogue tone, Zhu Yuliang laughed instead.

But then he heard that he was a guy on the first guarantee list, and Lao Zhu became normal.

Then Zhang An told Lao Zhu everything from beginning to end, and Lao Zhu suddenly became silent.

"Hey, Lao Zhu, Director Zhu, I'm Uncle Zhu, please speak up. If you don't speak, I'll be very panicked."

"Why are you panicking? You didn't hunt or arrest me with any malicious intent. You even entertained me with delicious food and drinks. Why are you panicking?"

"I'm not afraid that someone will report me, but then I won't be able to explain it clearly."

Zhang Anke would risk his life on someone's mouth. This society is still too sinister, so he communicated with Zhu Yuliang first.

"Well, although no notice has been given yet, we had a meeting some time ago, and your two deer are probably going to be hung up as well."

"Zhu Ju, there are four of them now, and they gave birth to two more cubs this year."

"Well, it seems that you took good care of your little one, and the cubs were born so quickly."

Then, Zhu Yuliang paused, as if he was smoking, took a deep breath, and then spoke again.

"Well, since there are so many animals there and it's so close to the mountains, let's just put up a 'Wild Animal Temporary Rescue Station' sign in the name of the county, so you don't have to worry about any problems in the future."

As for whether Zhang An will use this reputation to forcibly raise those listed protected animals in captivity.

Zhu Yuliang didn't believe it at all. After being together for such a long time, everything in Zhang An's house was left free to roam.

As for keeping people in captivity, don't be ridiculous. Zhang An seems to be diligent, but he is actually lazier than anyone else. It is simply unrealistic for him to do this.

Moreover, Zhu Yuliang has been thinking about developing this brand for Zhang An for a long time, and has been thinking about when to mention it to Zhang An.

After all, this guy is incredibly lazy. The last time he was given a job with a staff, he didn't even look at it.

Because he discovered that Zhang An was very good at raising and rescuing animals.

No matter what kind of animal it is, if this person keeps it for two days, it will be willing to get close to it.

Last time there was a dying giant salamander, they all thought there was no hope, but after Zhang An took some time, things improved.

So he has been observing for more than half a year, wanting to find out.

But more than half a year later, I still didn't find out what the reason was, so I simply didn't pay attention to it.

This time, he thought about it and told Zhang An about the listing. It would be easier to find Zhang An in the future.

After all, he is now on a higher level, and the wild animals in the county are all under his control.

If he can deal with Zhang An, he may have a much easier time in the future.

"Of course, there must be funds here, and you don't need to apply." Zhu Yuliang added, fearing that Zhang An would refuse.

Due to local environmental reasons, the money collected from the finance every year cannot be spent very much.

Just leave it alone, Zhu Yuliang thought of using it to build a good relationship with Zhang An.

Although Zhang An is not the one who is short of that little money, whether you give it or not and taking the initiative to give it are two different things.

"It's not Lao Zhu. Why didn't I hear what you said? It made me confused."

What Zhang An understood was that the county wanted to put up a sign for a temporary rescue station here.

Does that mean that if there is no place to put any animals in the future, we will send them to him?

Although he has some collecting habits, he doesn't want everything.

Just like falling in love, he didn't talk about it himself, and he didn't want to rush into it.

"That's not what I meant. I asked you before if you would like to work in our department. You told me you would be free in the countryside."

"Then now we hang a sign at your place, it's like you work from home, and you don't need to come to the city."

"But if there are any animals here that need help, such as treatment or something, you have to take action then."

Lao Zhu explained for a long time, and finally Tu Qiong saw it, and Zhang An also understood the meaning.

"This is no problem, but my place is not big, so don't send me to raise it here."

Zhang An was still worried that Zhu Yuliang would send him everything he wanted because of his good conditions.

After all, those rescue stations in other places are basically equivalent to zoos.

And not only do you have to take care of the animals, you also have to take care of the people above you.

With space in hand, all animals must be obedient in the end, but the people above should forget it.

"Don't worry. Normally, Lao Zhu, I wouldn't bother you."

After hearing Zhang An's promise, Lao Zhu repeatedly promised that he would be guaranteed from now on. Maybe Lao Zhu could even get a promotion.

"By the way, prepare some of your tea for me. I'll come and get it when I'm off work the day after tomorrow. I'll also get some chickens, ducks and fish. My daughter really likes to eat your fish."

The old guy didn't care much about the other things in Zhang An's house, but he cared about the tea leaves so much that he would talk every time he called.

"Then you don't have to come all the way. If you're celebrating the New Year, just tell me what you need and I'll deliver it to you that day."

"No, it's not appropriate for you to make a trip during the Chinese New Year. I'll do it myself."

"It's okay. I'm going to pick up my father-in-law and mother-in-law to celebrate the New Year with me that day. I'll take you there on the way to save you a trip."

What Zhu Yuliang couldn't bear to hear the most was this, and he regretted it very much now.

When I met Zhang An, this guy hadn't even started dating yet, but now he's married.

If I had known earlier, I would have introduced Zhang An to my daughter. Maybe he would be Zhang An’s father-in-law now.

If that were the case, wouldn't it be possible that Zhang An would be the one to fulfill his filial piety now?

He kept dreaming that if Zhang An became his son-in-law, he would not be able to honor him with anything like fine wine, tea, whatever he had at home.

Having been with Zhang An for so long, he is known for his filial piety. Who wouldn't like such a son-in-law?

As a result, now that Zhang An is married, his father-in-law is not him, and he still has to worry about his daughter finding a partner all day long.

"Okay, I'll call home and ask, and I'll get back to you later."

Less than 10 minutes after hanging up the phone, Zhu Yuliang called again.

He just called home, asked his daughter and wife for their opinions, and finalized the purchase order at Zhang An's house.

Coming out of the house, Zhang An looked at the two black-necked cranes and gave up completely.

Zhu Yuliang will definitely not come to capture him. It seems that the two of them are really going to settle here.

Zhang An will not think that hibernation is over and they will fly away on their own.

It's so cold now that I haven't left. When the temperature rises in the future, I won't even leave.

At night, Zhang An got into the study, used the excuse of reading, closed the door and ran into the space.

At home, Wang Fang and Su Ying knew that Zhang An was very immersed in reading, so nothing special would disturb him.

Once in the space, Zhang An immediately took out the jar soaked in water.

When Zhang An put the wine jar in today, he had already cleaned it several times.

Because he was worried about not washing it thoroughly, Zhang An kept soaking in the water afterwards.

Now Zhang An took it out and washed it twice and it was clean.

Then wipe it clean with the dry towel you brought in, and the jar can be used to make fruit wine.

For the wine-making materials, Zhang An chose bayberries and cherries from the space. They are both juicy and have high sugar content, making them very suitable for making fruit wine.

According to the recipe Huang Erye gave him, after selecting the materials used to make wine, they need to be cleaned and wiped dry.

Because they are constantly exposed to the elements, there are many things on the surface that can affect fermentation.

But there is no such problem with bayberries and cherries that grow in the space. Zhang An does not wash them when he eats them.

So after selecting the fruit, Zhang An put it in the jar and started mashing it.

The purpose of mashing is to speed up the fermentation. Although the whole fruit can also be fermented, the speed will definitely be very slow.

Even in space, Zhang An wanted to brew it quickly. After all, he wanted to have a few sips in time for the Chinese New Year.

This was the first time I tried it. Zhang An didn’t plan to brew much, so he prepared more than 90 kilograms of cherries and bayberries each.

Those two large wine tanks weighing [-] kilograms were specially used by Zhang An as fermentation tanks.

I have to say that working in the space is easy, and I smashed so many cherries and bayberries in just a few seconds.

If you do it outside, it will take a lot of time to process hundreds of pounds of cherries.

Not only that, Zhang An also easily drained out the core of the fruit.

Usually fruit wine brewed outside will have a sour taste, and most of the fruit pits will also ferment, which affects the taste.

Therefore, Zhang An would definitely not let them go if he could easily filter out the fruit cores.

After everything was done, Zhang An added the prepared rock sugar and yeast to the jar.

Zhang An only added a few kilograms of rock sugar to the two large vats, not too much.

According to the recipe, different ingredients have different proportions of sugar added.

Most of them look like [-] or [-], which depends on the material selection.

If there is too little sugar, it will greatly affect the fermentation process and subsequent taste.

But the cherries and bayberries in the space are many times higher than those outside, so there is no need to add so much sugar.

Zhang An originally thought that space spring water had so many magical effects, so he might as well add some into it.

But after completing the preparations, he found that there was less than one-fifth of the space left in the two large tanks.

When making wine, fermentation is still going on in the vat, so it cannot be filled to the top.

This is why when Zhang An was picking fruit just now, he picked about ten kilograms less.
