Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 58 Sumu's Ranch

The spring day is bright and the whole pasture is full of greenery.

The pasture in the space grows extremely lushly, and there happened to be a spring rain two days ago. Because of the network structure of the underground root system, there is almost no loss of water.The air in the deep mountains is also fresh, and the fresh green grass leaves are as if they have just been washed with dewdrops.

As long as you approach the pasture, you can smell a refreshing scent of green grass, and from time to time you can see many bouncing birds pecking at insects in the grass.

The man-made lake in the middle of the ranch is sparkling, Mr. Zhang deliberately planted a few small trees by the lake, and it will be a good place to enjoy the shade when the small trees grow up.

According to Su Mu's plan, the village head led a group of strong laborers to build houses, chicken coops, sheepfolds, and cowsheds for the herdsmen on the pasture.A simple small well was even dug near the house for daily water use by the herdsmen.Although the entire ranch is not as formal and high-end as those foreign ranches, it is really the original appearance of the mountain village, simple and practical, just in contrast to the continuous mountains.

"Dididi!" In the middle of the afternoon that day, a bright car whistle suddenly sounded in the quiet Huatanao.

The villagers who were working in the fields and on the hills were busy looking around the mountain road. It didn't take long for several large trucks to stop at the entrance of the village.

"Brother Muzi is back!" A group of boy scouts were helping to erect the fence on the pasture. When they heard the sound of a car horn, they ran faster than one another, and rushed towards the village like a runaway horse.They were still thinking about Su Mu saying that when he comes back, he will bring back some fun things!
In order to buy chicks, Su Mu drove to two well-reputed farms to inspect them in person.Only then did you decide on the seedlings you wanted.

These trucks were packed to the brim. Not only did he buy more than 1 chicks; he also bought hundreds of ducks and geese, as well as more than 1000 sheep and [-] calves.

To the delight of the children, the last truck was loaded with an oddly shaped vehicle.It was the all-terrain vehicle Trailblazer that Su Mu bought in the city before!He thought it was just a trip, so he happened to bring it back along the way, so he wouldn't need to ride around on Erba Daqi all day in the future.

"Don't make a fuss, you have a condition if you want to ride in my car! Let's get down to business first and settle all the animals, and then let's talk about the rules of riding in the car." With the help of several drivers, Su Mugang drove the opener As soon as the victim was removed from the car, the Boy Scouts surrounded him with water.

He hurriedly called the village head and the others to come and help unload the chicken coop.

"Muzi, why did you buy so much?" Dad saw that the chickens, ducks, geese, cattle and sheep were all alive on the truck he brought back, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Our first wave is for experiments. You bought so much, what if you can’t manage it?”

"Don't worry, dad, the grass in our pasture is not ordinary pasture! I can assure you that raising these animals is absolutely no problem." Su Mu asked everyone to carefully carry them to the pasture with a trolley, and said with a smile: " The main reason is that it’s more cost-effective to buy together. It’s a pity that we have such a good pasture for nothing. At worst, we need a few more people to manage it. I also plan to get some rabbits to raise when I have time. With so much pasture, I’m afraid it will be eaten up? "

Cripple Liang also came over to watch the excitement. Hearing what he said, he smiled brightly and said, "Do you still need to buy rabbits? I'll ask your grandfather to go up the mountain to buy you a few litters of wild rabbits to raise. They are much more delicious than domestic rabbits!"

Dad still didn't know what to do, but he bought everything back, so he didn't say much.

The adobe house on the other side of the ranch has not been built for a long time, and the house is slightly damp.Su Mu was thinking about how to arrange these animals after they were all put in the pasture, but Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chen had already discussed to build a shack in the pasture.

He wanted to dissuade them, but he couldn't stand the enthusiasm of these elderly people.In the end, the two parties had to compromise, and the village chief and the others helped to build a hut for a temporary stay; but the three meals a day were prepared by Su Mu's mother at home and delivered to them so that they would not start fire again.

After everything was arranged, Su Mu gave an order, and the people in the land reclamation team stopped their work.

Building shacks, pulling wires, and erecting poles; almost all the strong laborers of the village came to help organize the pasture.

After unloading the cars, several large trucks drove away from Huatanao.

But the ranch suddenly became lively! More than 1 bright yellow pompoms were chirping and screaming. At first, they were crowded together and dared not move. After a few minutes, I don’t know if they were tempted by the pasture, and they began to try to peck. grass leaves to eat;

Even smarter chicks picked up the black grass seeds scattered in the grass and ate them.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhang hurriedly took a bucket of water from the well and poured it into the sink. The dozens of sinks placed in the grass were all connected, and it took several buckets of water to fill them up.

Su Mu pretended to step forward to check the working principle of the sink, but in his hand, he poured in the space water he prepared calmly.

The little chickens gathered together and chattered around to drink water. After drinking the water, they were obviously more energetic than before!There are even a few that may not be suitable for long-distance transportation and are a little wilted. After drinking the water for a short time, they began to actively peck the grass and grass seeds.

Ducklings and geese are temporarily placed on the other side of the artificial lake. They are aquatic animals and it is easier to grow near the water.

As early as when the fish fry were put into the artificial lake, the sumu had already been mixed with space water, so there was no need to worry about them.

Not far from the chicken coop are the sheepfold and the cowshed.Because they have just been transported and haven't been trained, they can't be free-range for the time being. They can only stay in their own enclosure and gnaw on the fresh grass on the ground. Sumu took a moment to add water to their drinking troughs.

More than 1 chicks chirped and chirped; coupled with the cries of lambs and calves from time to time, the pasture was instantly full of life.

There were also more than a dozen big sheep running around excitedly mixed with the little lamb, all of which Su Mu bought from Old Chen Tou.

Old Chen can now rest easy, the flock of sheep was bought by Su Mu, and now he can get a monthly salary like everyone else!
Herding sheep on the pasture is much easier than before, at least there is no need to drive the flock to find fertile grass.After these little lambs get used to the environment, they open the sheepfold every morning and drive them to the south slope to graze, and gather them back at night, the task is considered complete; more importantly, they will never lose money, regardless of whether the lamb is sold well or not Sell, you can get your salary on time every month without taking risks.

"Hey, Muzi, you see that there are so many cattle suddenly added to the ranch, do you still need manpower? Or count me in, nothing else, at least the twenty cows, I will take care of them all myself." When recruiting workers, they registered a group of people who could herd cattle and sheep. Before Su Mu could ask, the cowherds who couldn't wait for a long time stood up and took the job.

Seeing someone voluntarily asking for a job, Su Mu responded immediately.

Then he and the village chief worked together to find a few more reliable and experienced people, and assigned them to Mr. Zhang and Old Chen.

These calves are easier to handle; the other thousand sheep, although the number is a bit larger, but they are led by the old head Chen who has been herding sheep all year round, so there is nothing to worry about;
The only trouble is that there are now more than 1 chicks. Because of their small size and large number, care must be taken to care for them.

Su Mu went to the chicken coop to have a look. The adobe house was very spacious, and there were many wooden shelves with layers inside, and the mats made of reeds were padded layer by layer.

During the day, these chicks are raised in the grass, and they are not driven to the chicken coop until night.The village head even brought his own big white geese over, and having a few of them would save some snacks at night.Su Mu thought for a while and brought the smart and obedient Dahui to the chicken coop to guard the gate, so as to avoid the weasel and the like trying to beat the chicks at night.

The boy scouts' work for two days was not in vain. At this time, a simple fence with a piece of tree branches can block the chickens and prevent them from running out at will.Otherwise, with such a high pasture bush, you won't be able to see a dozen or twenty of them running into it.Now the chicks are too small, and if they don't spend the night in the henhouse, they will almost be ruined.

"I think it's time for Muzi to make a fortune. The little guys I bought are more happy than the other!" Whether it's a chicken or a lamb or calf, they don't recognize their birth, and they just eat wherever they go.The village chief felt that it was rare, and said with a smile: "As long as the animals don't get sick, and they eat and drink well and don't waste them, you are destined to make a lot of money!"

"It's true what the village chief said! Just say that I take care of the orchard on the back mountain. How long did it take to plant it? That one is more vigorous than the other!" Da Kui also praised with thumbs up: "Even the orchards in the county The technicians went up the mountain and said that they have never seen such a good soil here, and the fruit trees are strong and strong. If the current growth rate is maintained, they will all bear fruit next year!"

The villagers were surprised when they heard this. The village head widened his eyes and asked, "Aren't they kidding you? As the saying goes, it takes five years for peaches, three apricots and four pears, and the peach tree can bear fruit after three years? It must be the technician and You are joking, don't look at the peach trees planted in my yard, they are watered frequently enough on weekdays, and only two peaches were harvested in the third year, the peach garden on the mountain has just been planted this year!"

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Dakui scratched his head and whispered, "That's what the technician said, not me..."

"Maybe it's because our Huatanao's geomantic omen is good, or else, if the orchard can really bear fruit next year, it means that I should be allowed to make money. I can't just eat and drink spicy food alone. At that time, we will collectively Salary increase!" Su Mu snickered inwardly, if he did something else, it might even bring fruit this year!
So he half-jokingly said: "Dakui, please take care of yourself. Whether everyone can double their wages depends on the fruit trees you have!"

As soon as everyone heard that Su Mu was serious, they booed one by one: "Da Kui's daughter-in-law, go back and give your Da Kui some more eggs, and try to manage the orchard well. Will our salary double next year?" , it all depends on your Da Kui!"
