When he wasn't working, Ye Fu would lie in the small room reading and sleeping. The weather was too cold, and he became more and more tired and lazy.
Fang Wei's sprained waist and ankle are almost healed. Others are warming themselves in the kitchen and chatting. After discussion, everyone plans to make an oven.
The oven can make bread, barbecue, and bake naan bread. There are still a lot of green bricks recovered from the village last time. I dug some soil from the ground of the house, and the oven quickly took shape.
"Ye Fu, come out quickly, something serious is going to happen."
"A sheep is about to give birth."
Everyone was surrounding the ewe in the sheepfold. Ye Fu went in to check and found that she was really about to give birth.
"Add firewood to the fire pit to heat it up, and bring over a bucket of warm water."
The sheep pen is quite warm, but there is still some cold wind coming in.
When we were in the safe zone, everyone had raised sheep, so it was not unfamiliar to deliver sheep. However, the weather was too cold now, and the sheep had not given birth for a long time, and it kept squealing because of the cold. Everyone was a little panicked.
"It won't be difficult to give birth, right?"
Ye Fu shook his head, "No, let's all go out. Fang Wei stays here to help me. Everyone is gathered here, and the sheep is also scared. It won't be able to regenerate."
The others went back to the kitchen to continue working on the oven, while Ye Fu and Fang Wei stayed behind to deliver the baby.
After drinking the water, the sheep stopped barking. It was pacing in place, very restless.
Ye Fu kept comforting it. If the baby couldn't be born within half an hour, Ye Fu would have to pick out the baby with his bare hands. Fortunately, the ewe was very upbeat and her body temperature warmed up, so she gave birth to her first lamb immediately.
"I finally gave birth. My belly is still big. I guess there are several more." Fang Wei was so nervous that her hands were shaking.
Ye Fu stroked the ewe's back. The temperature in the sheepfold was very high, and the strong smell of blood filled Ye Fu's nose. The other sheep were hiding aside. The ewe smelled the lamb after birth to confirm that the lamb was alive.
It started pacing in place again.
Soon, the second lamb landed, and Ye Fu breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, the ewe successfully gave birth to three lambs. Every half hour, Ye Fu would go to the sheepfold to check on the situation. Fortunately, the other sheep were very docile and there was no stampede. The three lambs could already stand up to suck milk.
, the ewe seems to be quite energetic.
In the afternoon, Ye Fugang wanted to take a rest, but another ewe was about to give birth. She and Fang Wei worked hard for two hours and successfully delivered four more lambs.
Sheep reproduce very quickly and can give birth to two babies a year. Everyone began to worry that the sheep pen was not enough, and discussed whether to build another sheep pen in the blueberry field.
Argali sheep are huge, about the same size as medium-sized cattle. Once the number increases, the sheep pen will definitely not be enough.
There are also four ewes about to give birth, and some of them are probably already pregnant.
If you want to build a sheepfold, you can only surround it with wood and build a fire pit.
According to estimates, the project is not small and will take several days to complete.
But sheep pens still have to be built. After all, the only industry we can develop now is breeding.
There is still a lot of meat in the cellar, there is no need to slaughter the argali sheep, the hardship is nothing, the lack of hope is the most terrible thing.
Ye Fu dug up all the blueberry trees, leaving the fruit trees for later planting. Everyone went into the mountains to chop wood and branches for two more days, and then they worked non-stop to build the sheep pen and build a fire pit. A week later, the sheep pen in the blueberry forest was ready.
Already.
Ye Fu asked Jiang Run to get some wooden baskets for growing vegetables. She planned to dig some soil back and add plant ash to the soil to see if she could grow the vegetable seeds recovered from country W.
It's not okay to eat only meat without vegetables, but the weather is too cold now, and Ye Fu is also afraid that the vegetables won't survive.
Knowing that Ye Fu wanted to grow vegetables, Fang Wei was very excited, "Don't you still have a roll of oilcloth? It should be able to be used as a greenhouse? I haven't eaten vegetables for a long time. Sometimes when I see animals eating leaves, I want to take a bite."
Fang Wei looked at everyone and said, "Eating meat every day has made everyone gain weight. Ye Fu is very good at growing vegetables. He will definitely not fail. Let's help build the shed. I don't know how long we will stay here. If
If we stay here for a few years, won’t we all eat vegetables?”
Fang Wei's words also touched everyone's heart. After eating too much meat, they wanted to eat vegetables. It wasn't just Fang Wei who wanted to chew the leaves. Everyone wanted to dig up the roots and cook them.
The roots of some plants are edible, such as yams and cockthorn roots.
"Build a shed. Since there are seeds in Ye Fu, no matter whether they can be planted or not, everyone should give it a try. Put two fire pits in the shed and keep the temperature inside the shed suitable. It should be possible to plant them. The wooden basket made by Jiang Run is even better.
It’s suitable for growing vegetables, but it’s definitely not possible to plant them directly in the ground. Let’s get some wooden baskets. What vegetables are easiest to grow in winter?”
"Cabbage, radish, spinach, celery, leek, garlic sprouts are all fine." These were the seeds Ye Fu got back from country W.
Anyway, idle time is idle. Wan Tao continues to organize everyone to work and build a greenhouse. The vegetable greenhouse is now owned by Ye Fu. From now on, she does not need to shovel snow or feed animals, she only needs to grow vegetables with peace of mind.
Ye Fu also took out a pack of kale seeds from the space. The kale was delicious with barbecued meat, so she decided to plant more varieties.
The greenhouse was quickly built, and the expansion outside the courtyard is getting bigger and bigger. Now, in addition to breeding, everyone has also developed planting, and finally there is no need to worry about food and drink.
After adding plant ash and sheep dung, horse dung and mammoth dung, the clay became nutritious. It was baked in the greenhouse for a week before Ye Fu scattered the seeds.
Ye Fu also scattered two handfuls of corn seeds. Although he was not sure whether they would work, he still wanted to give them a try.
Ten days later, the garlic sprouted, and other seeds sprouted one after another. Ye Fu finally did not overturn.
Four more ewes also gave birth, and there were more than ten argali sheep.
Wenwen's female snowshoe rabbit also showed signs of giving birth, so everyone specially made a rabbit nest for them next to the kitchen fire pit.
In the evening, after a busy day, everyone went back to the house to sleep.
However, a group of people came to Pinglin Village. They walked around the village but couldn't find a house to stay in. They were cold and hungry. Everyone began to complain to each other. At this time, several sheep bleated.
"Did I hear it right? There was the sound of sheep."
"That's right, I heard it too. Come on, let's follow the sound and have a look."
In the early morning, Jiang Run suddenly opened his eyes. He got out of bed and woke everyone up. Everyone thought it was dawn, but Wan Tao looked at his old watch and saw that it was only half past two.
"Someone is coming towards the courtyard."
As soon as everyone heard this, their drowsiness disappeared instantly. Jiang Run distributed the guns to everyone, and several men quietly walked out of the small courtyard.
Another group of people also came to the sheepfold in the blueberry forest. When they saw that there was not only a sheepfold, but also a vegetable greenhouse, they were all excited.
"There are actually people living here. Let's go over and have a look. We'll stay here tonight."
"There are so many sheep, let's catch one and slaughter it first."
