It has to be said that Chen Xiuyu knows Zhao Tuanqing and the others very well.
Seeing Zhao Tuanqing returning to Caodianzi with the tiger cub, and the three horses still waiting for someone to lead them, she immediately knew that the whole group would definitely have dinner at home today.
So, seeing that evening was approaching and Lu Lu and others were about to return from work, she put the child to sleep and put it in the car, then went to the vegetable field to get some fresh vegetables, plus the bacon and game at home.
, and began to prepare the food.
Lu Lu led everyone into the house, invited a few people to sit down on the kang, and made tea for them. When he went to the kitchen to help, he saw that the food was almost ready, and it was quite sumptuous.
The couple couldn't help but smile knowingly, and Lu Lu stopped interfering, turned around and left the kitchen, chatting with a few people.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the food was brought to the table one by one.
Seeing that Lu Lu was actually going to pour the tiger bone wine, Zhao Tuanqing quickly stopped him: "Xiao Lu, forget it, this tiger bone wine is so precious, keep it, you can't let us suffer like this, let's do what you said
of burning knives.”
"Yes, I don't want to waste it."
"Just burn a knife or make a glass of wine with mine bees. For the past two days, I've been wearing water-forked pants and tossing in the mud every day to get rid of the moisture."
…
Several people tried to persuade him.
"Okay, let's burn the knife!"
It wasn't that Lu Lu was reluctant to part with it. After all, it was brewed wine used to make medicine. He was afraid that if he drank too much, the others would be unbearable, so he took out the Shaodao wine he had prepared.
Shaodaozi is a kind of sorghum wine. It is named because the wine has a strong flavor and when you drink it, it feels like burning on fire or like being cut by a knife. It is a wine with a slightly higher alcohol content and no seasoning.
Of course, this is also the popular wine of the common people. Nowadays, Shaodao Liquor is well-known in the Northeast. It is said that it retains the essence of the ancient Sushen winemaking technique and is known as the king of spirits.
Like the current Erguotou and Shaoguo wine, they all evolved from Shao Dao and are mainly consumed by people in the wilderness.
The weather is cold and the wine is hot. After drinking it, you will feel endless pride.
Wine, like people, has a straightforward character and a fiery personality.
What I drank was that strong and bold taste.
The Laolongkou wine has been brewed, and the ones used to soak mine bees, wild blueberries and tiger bones are all high-grade corn wine. Lu Lu bought the knife in the district and planned to take it with him when he goes hunting in the mountains in winter.
Used for heating at critical moments in cold weather.
It’s rare to see private brewing, so when he does, he naturally buys more, but he doesn’t like the bottled Shao Daozi. After tasting it, he still feels that this private brewing is pure.
Several people drank heavily, and it was not until dark that they led their horses home. Seeing each of them staggering as they walked, Lu Lu was really worried that they would lie down on the spot, especially Raymond, who returned to the breeding farm.
There are many roads in the field.
After Lu Lu washed up, he went to lie down on the kang early to expand the wintering pond for forest frogs. It was a physical job and tiring!
Chen Xiuyu quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks. After doing some tidying up, she returned to the bedroom and saw Lu Lu playing with the child who had woken up. After smiling slightly, she sat cross-legged on the kang and said, "I've always heard that you want to raise Oroqen horses.
What’s that thing for?”
"You don't understand this... In a few years, the lives of people in the mountains will also change drastically. We are in the mountains and are accustomed to everything in the mountains, but for people outside, it will be different. There will be
Many people go to the mountains to play.
Do you think, by that time, riding horses into the mountains will become a very interesting thing? I believe that many people are willing to ride horses into the mountains to experience life and see the scenery in the mountains.
Also, after hunting and logging are banned in the future, not everything in the mountains will be open to traffic. If you want to enter the mountains, you will have to ride a horse in many places and rely on horses to transport things. By then, the Oroqen horse, which is now not favored by people, will
”
When Lu Lu proposed the idea of raising horses, he had already briefly thought about the future development.
In later generations, the mountains and forests were more used for tourism. Perhaps at that time, these Oroqen horses would be of good use.
"How did you know that hunting and logging would be banned in the future?" Chen Xiuyu looked at Lu Lu strangely.
Lu Lu smiled slightly: "Guess!"
Chen Xiuyu also smiled slightly. She didn't understand this, but it didn't stop her from trusting Lu Lu. At least, so far, many of the things Lu Lu had considered had good results.
Another three days were spent on the expansion of the overwintering pond at the forest frog farm. All manpower was concentrated on this matter, and the matter progressed very quickly.
In just these three days, four more wintering ponds have been expanded and started to store water.
At noon on the fourth day, when a group of people were expanding the last two wintering ponds in Lannigou, Chen Xiuyu led the people over.
She came here on a green onion with her child on her back, followed by a jeep.
The car stopped in the open space in front of the guard cabin in Lannigou. Wang Demin and three others got out of the car and followed Chen Xiuyu into Lannigou.
Following the path that everyone had stepped on and going hundreds of meters deep, Chen Xiuyu finally saw Lu Lu who was beating the slopes around the pool with a wooden board, making him covered in yellow mud. He immediately shouted: "Brother Lu, there is a zoo."
Someone is looking for me...come up quickly."
Lu Lu looked up at the three people in Chinese tunic suits, climbed out of the pool, turned back to the group of people working and said, "Everyone, please take a rest."
A group of people also put down their work and climbed out of the pool. Many people sat down and rested on the surrounding grass. Zhang Shaofeng and others and a few people who liked to join in the fun came closer.
As soon as he heard that it was a staff member from the zoo, Lu Lu knew that they were most likely here for the tiger cub.
He went to the ditch and washed the mud on his hands and face, and then walked up to the four people.
"Shaofeng reported the tiger cubs he picked up before. Today, the comrades working at the zoo came to the village. I took them to your home and asked Xiuyu to find out that you work in the farm.
, the mountains here are too far away from the villages. I have never been there, so I asked Xiuyu to take us for a trip.
It's hidden in the mountains, and you can't see anything. Only when you come in do you realize that there have been such big changes inside, and you have already done so many things here!"
Wang Demin briefly explained the situation and was surprised by the changes in Meizigou.
Lu Lu smiled and said: "My uncle is busy with things on weekdays, and this place is too far away from the countryside. It is really not easy to come here."
Then, Lu Lu looked at the three of them.
"Hello, comrade..." The leader was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who extended his hand to Lu Lu kindly.
Lu Lu looked at his wet hands and wiped them on his body instinctively. As a result, he smeared a lot of mud on his hands, so he smiled and said: "Forget it... We have something to talk about because of that tiger."
Is the kid here?"
"Yes... I just came here for it. We are the staff of Harbin Zoo. As soon as we heard that you picked up a tiger cub here, we rushed over immediately and wanted to discuss with you to get this tiger cub.
Transfer it to our garden for breeding."
Middle-aged people seem very polite.
Lu Lu nodded slightly: "The purpose of reporting the matter is to get more professional people to take care of it. The number of big paws is getting smaller and smaller day by day. It can be regarded as saving some seeds and doing something good. The key is that it is dangerous for us to keep them.
And it’s quite a burden, unlike animals like cats and dogs, which can easily hurt people and cause accidents.”
"Okay...thank you. There are not many people like you who have such awareness of protecting endangered animals!"
The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction: "I arrived at your meadow and saw that there are three lynxes and two cranes inside. Can these two be transferred to our park? We are willing to pay a high price."
Before Lu Lu could speak, Chen Xiuyu had already quietly reached out and pulled Lu Lu. When Lu Lu looked over, she shook her head slightly.
Lu Lu knew at a glance that Chen Xiuyu couldn't bear to part with the three lynxes. No wonder she and her children had to follow them to have a look.
"That crane was accidentally encountered when catching wild geese on Yan's Nest Island. I brought it back and hatched it. Then it was kept in the meadow. I usually only fed a few things and was never kept in a cage. I think it still needs to be raised.
Respect their habits. Since they are used to living in the meadow and cannot leave, let them stay. In winter, I will not force them to move wherever they want.
As for the three lynxes, they have been raised for more than a year. I don’t plan to transfer them. They stay at home and help look after the yard and chase away mice, weasels and so on. That would be good too." Lu Lu decisively refused: "
Just take that little tiger away."
"Don't you know that lynxes are not allowed to be hunted?"
A young man behind the middle-aged man interrupted and said, "That's illegal!"
"I really don't know that!"
The lynx has indeed been included in the protection list. Lu Lu knew it, but at this time, he could only say that he didn't know. He deliberately asked: "What do you mean?"
"I just want to tell you that lynxes are not allowed to be caught or hunted. They are protected animals." The young man said again.
"Then tell me, why are the purchasing stations still collecting? Shouldn't you go to the supply and marketing cooperative and tell the people at the supply and marketing cooperative? If they don't buy, won't there be no one to hunt them?"
If there is no business, there will be no harm. Lu Lu is familiar with this principle.
It is simply impossible for people not to hunt down things that are still being bought at the buying stations.
Lu Lu smiled faintly: "Do you still want to tell me that you must take away those three lynxes?"
The young man was about to speak, but the middle-aged man turned his head and glared at him, and quickly shut his mouth.
The middle-aged man said to Lu Lu apologetically: "He is still young, don't be familiar with him! He has not even understood the actual situation."
Seeing that the middle-aged man's words were quite pleasant, Lu Lu didn't bother to argue with him. He glanced at the young man and smiled slightly: "It's okay...don't you want to take that tiger cub away? Come on, I will take you there...
…”
With that said, he turned back to look at Zhao Yongke: "Third brother, let's go to your house with me."
After Lu Lu finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out of the ditch. Zhao Yongke and Chen Xiuyu followed immediately.
None of them chose to take a car, but each rode a horse, carrying a semi-automatic car, and led the way.
When they arrived at Zhao Yongke's house, Zhao Tuanqing was feeding the tiger cubs with the meat from the jumping cat.
It now seems to have regarded Zhao Tuanqing as its biggest support. It hangs around Zhao Tuanqing all day long. When it sees a stranger coming in, the little guy immediately hides behind Zhao Tuanqing.
After the three staff members got out of the car, they immediately came over and looked with joy at the tiger cub, which had become energetic after being fed for several days.
"She will be very beautiful when she grows up!" the middle-aged man praised.
Lu Lu didn't say much, but simply explained the situation to Zhao Tuanqing. Zhao Tuanqing reluctantly handed the tiger cub to the middle-aged man. He watched them take out an iron cage from the car and put the tiger cub in it. Zhao Tuanqing frowned.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Take this back and take good care of it!"
"must!"
The middle-aged staff member nodded, took out an envelope from his pocket, and handed it to Lu Lu: "Don't take the money too little, as a thank you for saving this tiger cub and taking good care of it these days."
Lu Lu took it casually and put it in his pocket without ceremony.
But I heard the middle-aged man continue to say: "When we went to the area, we inquired and said that you are the most powerful hunter. Man, we want to ask you for something."
"Say!" Lu Lu looked up at the middle-aged man.
"On weekdays, when you go hunting in the mountains, can you help catch some animals, such as blind bears, lynxes, wolves and other animals? The more rare the better! On the one hand, they are used for viewing in the park, and on the other hand, they are used for viewing in the park.
On the one hand, we also do some conservation research... We pay for the acquisition."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he took out a piece of letterhead from his arms and handed it to Lu Lu: "This is the animals purchased in the park and their contact information. I know that it is much harder to capture alive than to kill them, so the purchase price given is higher than the hunting price."
The one you can kill is even higher, what do you think?"
