Sun Dahai bought Zheluo salmon and Huitou catfish. These two fish add up to more than 20 kilograms.》八》八》Read》Book,∞o◎Sun Dahai actually doesn’t need to buy too many fish.
, they can't have a few meals here, and they have to continue walking north.
It was cold and the road was slippery, so it was not easy to carry the two big fish back. Although they weighed more than 20 kilograms, in order to keep them fresh, the fish were all wrapped with ice. All in all, they still weighed thirty or forty kilograms.
Heavy.
The fish seller was experienced. He told Sun Dahai that the supply and marketing cooperative sells simple sledges. Buy one to drag the fish back. In the future, it will not only be a means of transportation in winter, but also can be used as a toy for children to play with.
Carrying the fish, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the small town. When they went in and took a look, they were disappointed. The things here were not as good as the military service department in the family area.
There are two types of sledges. The large one is really big. It is probably used for pulling goods. Sun Dahai chose a small one and let Erxiao sit on it, with fish stuffed under their feet, and then prepared to go back.
Hu Cheng and Master Li were responsible for pulling the sledge. They tied the traction rope and pulled it on the left and right in front. Sun Dahai and Gao Yi were responsible for holding on to the back of the sledge to maintain balance so that the two children would not have too much fun.
The car overturned again on the road.
Pulling a sledge is actually not tiring. The key is to stand firm on your feet and move forward at a constant speed. Master Li is from Long Province, and Hu Cheng has been here for four years. They have long been accustomed to walking on ice and snow.
The group returned home, and Sun Dahai asked Hu Cheng to bring in the fish to thaw, while he sat aside and worried about tomorrow's meal.
Forget it, Sun Dahai was not going to trouble himself any more. He called for help outside the field and planned to call Li Yue to ask the base to send him all the things he needed.
Sun Dahai picked up the phone. ↙八↙八↙Read↙, but found that he couldn't use it and had to call Hu Cheng. This was the army's line. Sun Dahai didn't know how to connect to the local line.
After busying for a while, the call finally came to Li Yue. Sun Dahai's request was nothing to Li Yue, so she wrote down what Sun Dahai needed and promised to send a car to deliver it tomorrow.
Niu Hong didn't come back at noon, so she ate in the hospital. Sun Weimin took everyone to the canteen in the family area.
At noon in the cafeteria, there are four dishes and one soup, fried pork with potato slices, fried pork blood with soybean sprouts, dried bean curds with hot peppers, scrambled eggs with soybean paste, and a bucket of egg drop soup. The staple food is steamed buns and rice.
This kind of food seems a little inferior to the level of residents in this family area. However, considering that it is only 1986 and the winter supply in the Northeast is insufficient, Sun Dahai can accept it.
These dishes are more or less a combination of meat and vegetables, and the officers and soldiers of an ordinary company must not eat as much as these.
After getting up from nap, everyone didn’t know where to go to play. The second child suggested that he also wanted to play with the sledge. Hu Cheng suddenly suggested: “Then let’s go to the breeding farm. There are deer there, which is fun, but I don’t know if the deer can poop.”
Sledge.”
The breeding farm is a little far from the family area, and Sun Dahai and the others are not used to walking on snowy roads, so Master Li drove the car out and everyone took a ride there.
Sun Dahai found it strange that the army's breeding farm actually raised deer. The army only opened breeding farms or farms to relieve some of the logistical pressure.
Deer breeding is standard special breeding for the purpose of making money, which is contrary to the purpose of setting up breeding farms for the army.
On the way, Sun Dahai asked about this matter, and Hu Cheng's answer answered Sun Dahai's doubts.
It turned out that in the winter three years ago, the mountains were closed by heavy snow. A family of sika deer, probably very hungry, went to the military horse farm to eat dry food.
The military horse farm is located at the foothills of Xiaoxing'an Mountains. Every winter, animals from the mountains will invade the horse farm. The military horse farm usually drives away or kills these wild animals to prevent these wild animals from entering residential areas, hurting people or damaging crops.
But this was the first time Junma Chang had seen a family come together for a meal. There were one male, four females, and two young deer, which made Jun Ma Chang couldn't bear to take action.
It happened that the war horses and stallions of the military horse farm were transferred to winter, and there were only about thirty draft horses and draft horses left. With enough feed, the military horse farm ignored that family and allowed them to eat among the horses.
After spring begins, this situation cannot continue. This is more or less a horse farm for the army. We cannot just raise other animals just because the managers are soft-hearted.
Moreover, the war horses and stallions will be back soon. They are not as docile as draft horses or pack horses. If they see deer here, they will definitely fight.
But this family of sika deer really regards this place as their new home and can't even drive them away. Every day they follow the horses for a walk and eat, and go back to the stables to sleep together at night. Moreover, two of the doe deer among them are already pregnant.
It's even more troublesome.
Hu Baocheng, who was still the director of the breeding farm at the time, heard about this incident. He happened to have two people under him who were good at raising deer, so he sent a car to pull the deer back and settled in the breeding farm.
"Then you are raising these deer for nothing?" Sun Dahai asked Hu Cheng.
"We don't raise them for free. Every year we cut the antlers and sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative to offset the cost of purchasing various materials from the supply and marketing cooperative. Now, two of the four young deer are male deer, and it's time to cut the antlers.
Already."
While talking, the car drove to the breeding farm.
In this breeding farm, including the farm not far away, the people working in it are not all soldiers from the army, but also military families and local people hired with money, and everyone works together.
The breeding farm mainly raises pigs and chickens. Since the establishment of the Long Province Branch Base, raising pigs here has become much simpler than before. Every year, the breeding farm receives piglets and feed from the Long Province Branch Base, and then sends them back to the base for slaughter after fattening.
The base deducted some of the parts suitable for making canned luncheon meat as piglets and feed costs, and most of the remaining pigs were harvested by the troops.
Based on the needs of the troops, the base slaughterhouse will replace most of the pigs with parts suitable for cooking in the military canteen, such as hip tips, pork belly or leg meat. In this way, both sides get what they need, which is a win-win situation.
Every year, the base provides one thousand piglets and corresponding feed to the farms. Through fattening, it basically guarantees more than half of the entire division's pork demand.
The chicken farm here has slowly developed through accumulation over the past few years. The egg production is still insufficient. It can only meet the needs of the canteen in the family area and the hospital canteen, and cannot take care of the troops below.
Hu Cheng said hello to the gate guard, drove through the gate and went straight to the deer house.
The deer house is a few wooden houses, with a large open area surrounded by wood. Now in the afternoon, it is the warmest time of the day, and several deer are basking in the sun in the open area, sitting or standing. From time to time, they use their hooves to plow
Clear the snow and find some hay to eat.
"Little deer." Sun Yuanyuan shouted, jumping out of the car and running forward. Sun Dahai quickly caught up with her and held her back.
Hearing the noise, a soldier with a big broom in his hand came out of the deer house and walked over.
"Liu Tao, you are on duty today." Hu Cheng waved and greeted the other party.11
