Chapter 203 Wolves(1/2)
Captain Sun listened to his opinion, handed over the mushrooms needed by the field department, and negotiated with them about mushroom cultivation in the future.
Soon the farm department decided to allow them to use a small team to grow mushrooms, which not only supplies the entire farm but is also responsible for selling to outsiders.
Correspondingly, the number of military horses to be trained by the seven teams has also been reduced.
It’s impossible for me to do more work and get the same money.
No one is willing to do that. The factory headquarters dares to say that. Team 7 promises to go to the factory headquarters to let them know what it means to force the government to force the people to rebel.
For their own sake, no one in the field department would dare to do this.
This immediately made the seventh team cheer. They didn't expect that just growing mushrooms could lead to such a good thing.
For them, growing mushrooms is much easier, which is a good thing.
Captain Sun was also very happy. He smiled at Du Yun and said, "I'll leave this matter to you in Lingjun."
It is said to be a comprehensive planting, but how do they know how to plant it? Xu Lingjun needs to take the lead in this matter.
Du Yun nodded in agreement, this is what I should do.
Next, the most important thing is of course to prepare materials. Since you want to plant more, you have to prepare materials.
Now is undoubtedly the most suitable time.
It is not yet time to prepare forage for the winter, and the herdsmen still have some time to spare. They will need to prepare forage for the winter in a while. How will they have time to prepare these things?
As for the coming winter, herdsmen will have more leisure and can prepare the things needed to grow mushrooms at that time.
Please, in this northwest winter, when the cold wind is howling, you ask them to go up the mountain to cut down trees and prepare materials, just for fear that there will be no problems.
If a heavy snowfall seals the mountains and seals people up to the mountains, they can be frozen alive into ice sculptures.
Who dares to bear the consequences?
It’s better to start preparing now.
In view of the large number of trees to be planted next year, the field department specially arranged people from other teams to come and cut down trees.
Anyway, I leave this matter to you.
Du Yun nodded, this is relatively easy. Just tell them what trees are needed and let them go up the mountain to cut them down.
There is no such thing as forest protection now. As long as you can cut it, the field department will not object.
It doesn't matter if you put aside your objection.
Du Yun took them up the mountain to cut down trees, make various preparations, and prepare all the necessary things. They can start planting next year.
In order to have a good yield, Du Yun decided to improve the planting methods and explore more productive planting methods to achieve higher yields.
Well, this requires spending more money, and it is no longer as simple as just cutting down trees.
Captain Sun didn't want to agree at first, but then he was fooled and nodded in agreement.
He also wants to see the difference, in case it can have a high output.
Du Yun was going to make fungus bags to see if he could get a higher yield and how much.
And when the work is over, the factory has already begun to prepare winter fodder for the horses to eat in winter.
This is none of our business. As a doctor, the most important thing for Du Yun at this time is to run to the mountains to collect herbs instead of mowing grass at the foot of the mountains.
It is quite nice to search for herbs in the mountains with a backpack on your back.
A pine forest appeared in front of him, and Du Yun suddenly became interested. When people mention pine trees, what is the first thing that comes to mind?
Pine nuts and the difficult task of picking them.
Not just one or two people picked pine nuts and got into trouble.
Picking is done while sitting on a hydrogen balloon, and accidents can easily occur due to hydrogen balloons.
If the balloon loses control and the wind blows again, the person will fly hundreds of miles away. Who can guarantee what it will look like when it is found?
It is possible to lose your life for this.
This is simply picking with your life.
In this case, even though the pine nuts are ripe now, they are of little use.
Why do we use hydrogen balloons to pick? It’s because climbing trees is too difficult.
If the consequences of falling from the tree are more serious, it is better to use hydrogen balloons to pick from the very beginning.
This is not the case for him. You are afraid of problems when picking pine nuts, but some are not afraid of problems, such as squirrels.
Squirrels feed on various nuts, and in winter they store a large amount of nuts as overwintering food.
Now they are guaranteed to have stored a lot of food. We don't need to pick pine nuts ourselves, as long as we can find a place where they store food.
In this pine forest, the most common thing that squirrels store is undoubtedly pine nuts, which are easy to find.
Having made up his mind, Du Yun searched around to find traces of the squirrel.
He climbed up with a telescope and looked far away. When he found traces of squirrels, he stared at them to see where they hid food.
Then he found out that he had been tricked by a squirrel.
People are very smart, and the places where they hide food are not easy to find.
Squirrels will make fake moves when hiding things. In order to prevent theft, squirrels will perform a set of "fake moves": dig holes, pretend to hide nuts in the holes, and actually put the nuts in their mouths.
This is a performance for other snooping animals. After the performance, the nuts are hidden elsewhere.
And he is exactly the voyeur who wants to get something for nothing.
After working hard for a long time to find traces of the squirrel, I finally saw where it was hiding food. I thought about getting something for nothing, but then I was tricked by it.
That’s all, let’s just go with the flow and look for it if we can find it. If we can’t find it, let’s talk about it.
Suddenly, the traces of a group of wild wolves caught his attention. Judging from the situation, their activity range was relatively close to the seventh team.
In winter, when wolves are short of food, they are very likely to go to Team Seven to hunt the herdsmen’s cattle, sheep, and horses.
How can this be done? Cattle, sheep and horses are the most important tasks of Team 7, so there can be no problems.
After a slight hesitation, Du Yun went down the mountain to find Captain Sun to report the matter.
"Are you sure?"
"I did find traces of wolves on the mountain near Team 7."
This immediately made Captain Sun frown.
"If you search again, can you find any traces of the wolves?"
"I can try."
Yes, you can try it, but who can guarantee it?
But you can try, what should I do? If something happens, you will be the unlucky one.
I nodded helplessly and asked him to try.
"I leave this matter to you. I must find a way to find it and hunt or drive away the wolves."
Captain Sun then summoned his men to explain the situation and prepared to send people up the mountain to hunt the wolves.
Prevent wolves from coming down the mountain in winter and harming cattle and sheep.
This is a major matter for the entire seventh team, and there can be no problems.
When they heard about this incident, everyone was very worried. They didn't expect to find traces of wild wolves again, and they were determined not to let wild wolves harm the team's livestock.
Someone patted their chest and promised, "Don't worry, Captain, I will definitely find the wolves and kill them."
"Do you have the ability to know how to kill wolves?"
"I don't know, but I can learn."
Everyone burst into laughter. If it were really that easy, there would be no dedicated hunters.
You show your determination well, but we won't let you go up the mountain.
A group of people laughed and assigned tasks, forming a hunting team to go up the mountain. They quickly gathered the hunters in the team and asked them to go up the mountain to hunt wolves.
As for the cattle, sheep and horses they usually graze, others will temporarily take care of them.
On this grassland, not only every household has shotguns and hunting dogs, but there are also a lot of them.
Gathering together the shotguns in the team, there are more than twenty shotguns, rifles and pistols.
Bringing more than a dozen hounds along with you will give you the feeling of leading a yellow hound to the left and holding the blue sky to the right, and riding thousands of horses to roll over a level hill.
Of course, there are not many people, and the weapons are also messy.
Since he was going to spend the night in the forest, Du Yun specially brought his wolf skin clothes with him.
There is a big temperature difference between day and night here. It’s easy to tell during the day. But at night, when the howling northwest wind blows, you will clearly feel what it means to freeze to death.
Li Xiuzhi looked very worried. This was her man going out to hunt, and he was hunting wolves.
It can't be that easy. If something happens, it may be turned into a body and carried home. Who is going to go hunting? Being bitten by a wolf is not so easy to bear.
