The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 130 129. If you want to drink milk, squeeze it yourself

After officially starting work, the first task was to clean the four heavy milk tanks of the cows.

Lin Feng cleans carefully with warm water and soap, making sure every corner is wiped.

This is not only to stimulate lactation, but also to respect the cow and the milk that is about to be produced.

He applied a thin layer of Vaseline to his hands to reduce friction with the cow's skin.

When he was ready, Lin Feng placed the small bucket under the milk tank and began to concentrate on milking.

With the rhythm of his hands, streams of milky white milk flowed into the bucket like silk threads, and foam gently rose on the liquid surface.

The milk source of this cow was astonishingly rich. When Lin Feng exerted a little force, the milk flowed out, almost splashing out of the bucket.

Charlie is right, the concentration of this milk is visible to the naked eye, the texture is mellow, and it is definitely top quality.

David looked at Lin Feng's skillful techniques and wanted to try his skills.

But Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, pointed to his hands covered with Vaseline and said: "Your big hands may make the cow think it has encountered sandpaper."

Indeed, David's hands were rough and strong, and even if they were lubricated, it was difficult to completely eliminate the inherent friction.

Catherine, on the other hand, had slender fingers that seemed born for the job.

Taking over Lin Feng's position, Catherine continued to milk. With the cooperation of the two, the two large buckets of fresh milk were soon filled.

In Montana, however, milk sales are not promising.

For ranchers, relying on milk to make a profit has almost become a luxury. Climate fluctuations and unstable market demand make this job full of challenges.

During milking, cows can become agitated if nearby large animals bark.

The "accident" during Adrian's last visit was still vivid in his mind. The big guy's energy was so high that it made countless tough men bow their heads and cry.

And this cow has also entered the critical breeding period.

But its future still needs to wait for the decision of Charlie, the middle-aged man affectionately called the "breeding master" by the cattle.

Fresh milk cannot be stored for a long time, so Lin Feng decided to taste it immediately and put the rest in the refrigerator.

Although it was freshly squeezed, it was fresh milk. Lin Feng did not dare to drink it directly. It must not have been sterilized by high temperature. Who knows if there are any germs in the milk.

While milking, he thought that if there were residential areas around, the milk might become a wonderful gift.

But the reality is that if something goes wrong with the milk being sent out, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

In this capitalist world, sometimes it seems safer to throw away the milk than to share it with those in need.

We have all the milk for the coming week, and the kitchen refrigerator is full, so we have to store some of it in the small refrigerator upstairs.

Catherine asked for some milk so she could continue making cakes.

Lin Feng used the small milk pot in the cupboard to warm up a small basin. It tasted okay when he drank it. As Charlie said, it was rather rich, or overly fragrant.

In my father's case, he can drink milk, but not too much. The doctor's previous recommendation was not to exceed 400 ml per day.

"How does it taste? This is absolutely pure milk."

"fragrant!"

Mom is just one word.

She likes to drink thick milk, saying that the milk she drank before was diluted with water and was very thin, so this is pure milk. But my mother also thought it was too fragrant. If it wasn't freshly squeezed milk, she would think it had added flavoring.

Lin Feng grew up drinking goat's milk when he was a child. At that time, there was an old man in the village who raised several goats and delivered milk from door to door every morning in glass bottles. The price was very cheap and ordinary families could afford it.

Later, I started drinking milk from bags, which I remember costing about two yuan. Anyway, I never lacked this kind of nutrition when I was a child.

The several adult cows in the pasture are probably about to produce milk, and they won't be able to drink enough milk by then.

Professional milk companies will regularly send trucks to collect milk. Of course, the farms they go to are all large farms. A small farm like Lin Feng's produces a few hundred kilograms. A trip there is not enough to cover the travel expenses.

Even if we contact the milk company, they probably won't be willing to send a car over.

Charlie suggested taking the milk to a professional institution for testing to see what the ingredients are like. Although the road to commercialization is difficult, at least you can drink it with peace of mind.

Lin Feng thought it made sense. He also wanted to know the quality of the milk moistened with the water from the Small World well.

After contacting the institution, they were told that the test required at least five samples, so Lin Feng prepared five small glass bottles to fill with milk on the day of delivery.

In fact, you don’t need so much, just a little for each sample, similar to the specifications used in hospital tests.

In the evening, I took Wayne and David to exercise outside for a while.

The two German Shepherd brothers are relatively lazy, or they may have fallen asleep early because they were very active during the day.

Wayne has put on a lot of weight recently and needs to use it to lose weight. It looks like it will turn into a big white meat ball.

First, he took the wooden house and villa for a run. This is what Lin Feng does every night.

I usually eat a lot of meat, and beef and sheep are the norm. Occasionally I eat some venison, wild boar, fish, etc. to change my taste. If I want, I can eat hare meat as much as I want.

Fat accumulates over time, especially in winter.

There was heavy snow before and the roads were closed. People basically stayed in the pasture and seldom went out. They ate and drank every day, and it was difficult not to gain weight.

It was under these conditions that Wayne became increasingly mellow.

Lin Feng still has photos of him looking pitiful when he was at the rescue station, and he looks completely different from what he is now.

Since David came to the ranch, his standard of living has also skyrocketed.

However, David is the fatter type who is getting stronger and stronger, with strong limbs. In addition, the Dogo dog has a slender figure, which makes it look more majestic.

In comparison, Wayne is much more honest and honest. He is a big, fluffy dog ​​that is perfect as a pillow. He is a dog that is very popular among ladies.

But in terms of combat effectiveness, Wayne is definitely at the cutting edge. He looks silly, but he is actually very explosive.

As a veteran of ranching, its performance is impeccable in all aspects.

Lin Feng tried to pick up Wayne, but it was a bit difficult. The guy's weight was probably over a hundred pounds, and he could compete with Jasmine.

The movement attracted the German Shepherd brothers, who soon joined in.

Four dogs are much more lively.

William Harry has been doing well recently. He frightened a cow so much when he first arrived at the ranch, and now he can chase the cow.

Lin Feng suddenly fell into sorrow when he looked at the four guys in front of him. These are all four male dogs!

I didn't pay attention to the gender when I adopted them. As a result, the ranch accidentally became a group of monks. But don't become a crooked dog.

Harry already has this tendency. During the day, he likes to swish and swoop on David, and he even twitches. This is a red flag!
