Three words with his mother are inseparable from a blind date. After this phone call, Zhang Chi felt even more tired.
Keep playing on your phone.
I wanted to find a TV series to watch, but I found that the so-called new TV series, besides love or love, were some kind of idiot dramas. Finally, Zhang Chi found an old comedy to watch, and he was so happy that he went to bed.
, turned off the phone and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Early the next morning, Zhang Chi got up and just took a shower when he saw Cannon running in hurriedly.
"BOSS, BOSS!"
"Here, why are you so anxious?"
Zhang Chi shouted at Cannon, then picked up the cup and poured water into his mouth, rinsed it and spit it out, took another sip, poured it in his mouth a few times and spit it out.
I brushed my toothbrush, put the cup and toothbrush in their original positions, wiped the water stains on the corners of my mouth with my hands, and patted my face with water.
"BOSS, good news," Cannon stood at the door of the bathroom and shouted to Zhang Chi.
"What good news? The price of beef has increased? By how much?"
Zhang Chi feels that there is good news for him now, except that the price of beef cattle has increased.
Cannon said: "None of them!"
"That's money. No, the money won't be in your hands," Zhang Chi said jokingly.
"Come with me, our grass has sprouts growing in the snow," Cannon said to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi was a little confused after hearing this: "What did you say? There are buds growing in the snow. Are you trying to trick me?"
"You'll know when you come out and take a look," Cannon said.
Zhang Chi put down the towel in his hand, put on his coat and hat and followed Cannon outside.
Now the snow outside has stopped, and the thick snow covers the sky like a big white quilt. Originally, it looked a little green, but now I look around, except for the sky above my head, everything else is white.
If you dare to go out without wearing goggles at this time, you will definitely develop snow blindness.
Zhang Chi was naturally wearing goggles. He valued his own life more than anyone else.
Who knew that Cannon did not take Zhang Chi very far, but directly in front of the house, and began to use his hands and feet to dig up the snow on the ground.
"what are you doing?"
"Let me see the grass."
By this time, Cannon had already cleared away the snow on the ground, revealing the original layer of hay on the ground.
"what is the difference?"
Cannon opened up the hay layer and said, "Look over here again."
Now Zhang Chi saw that under the hay layer, many of the originally withered grass stems had turned bright yellow. What did this look like? It was a bit like the leek and garlic we eat in China.
"I'm going!"
Zhang Chi didn't know what to say.
"It's covered with snow, forming an insulation layer, which raises the temperature of the ground underground. You can see that this ground can be poked, and a piece of it will sink in when you poke it," Cannon said to Zhang Chi excitedly.
"Where does the temperature come from?" Zhang Chi was a little puzzled.
Cannon said: "I think there may be a hot spring somewhere not deep underground."
"spa?"
Zhang Chi scratched the back of his head after hearing this. He was not sure whether there was a hot spring somewhere underground. He thought it had something to do with the slurry in the gourd.
Cannon said with certainty: "Yes, I suspect there are hot springs! Otherwise, the surface temperature would not be so high."
"That……".
Zhang Chi didn't know what to say.
"We can use this grass to feed cattle, and I tried it just now. The cattle like to eat this grass very much. It is much better than hay and the taste is also good."
As he spoke, Cannon pulled a piece of grass and handed it to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi looked at the yellow leaves and tender grass stems, and the more they looked, the more they looked like chives. When he chewed them in his mouth, there was no chive flavor at all, just a grassy taste.
"How is it? It tastes good," Cannon asked, looking at Zhang Chi with a happy face.
Zhang Chi hummed: "Not bad, not bad!"
At this time, Zhang Chi hadn't turned a corner yet. He didn't know what kind of benefits this grass would have to him if it grew under the snow.
Cannon was very happy and opened his mouth and said: "With this grass, we will no longer need to feed some feed during the day. With this grass and the current grass feed, we estimate that we can save one-third of the food in a day."
material".
One cow can save one-third in one day, and hundreds of cows can save a lot of money in one day. Not only is this money saved, but the saved fodder can also be sold for money. This is equal to
Earned two thirds.
After understanding this, Zhang Chi suddenly became energetic.
"Let's go to the cowshed and have a look. By the way, are the cows over there?" Zhang Chi asked Cannon.
Looking up and looking around, Zhang Chi didn't find his own herd of cattle.
Cannon said: "I drove the cattle eastward."
"Walk!"
Zhang Chi took Cannon with him to the east.
Naturally, it was impossible for the two of them to walk across the snow. The snow was so thick that Zhang Chi would have to fall down from exhaustion. How could it be so easy to walk on snow that was above his knees?
However, Zhang Chi had a long-legged ride. When he got to the cowshed and saddled up, Chi Yanshan served as Zhang Chi's legs.
The two of them rode towards the cattle. They couldn't run anymore, so they had to walk on horseback.
The pasture to the east is connected to Serior's house. There are many trees in this place, and it is usually difficult to find cattle hiding here.
After walking around two clusters of trees, Zhang Chi found a herd of cattle burying their heads in the snow in the large open space in the middle.
BAA Baa baa!
In addition to cattle, there were also sheep, but the sheep were too small and the snow was thick, so Zhang Chi did not notice these guys at the first time.
When they got closer, Zhang Chi discovered that there was an open space around the herd. The grass in the open space was half withered grass and half the yellow bearded grass that Zhang Chi had tasted just now.
The cattle ate deliciously, and a few sheep also joined the cattle, taking advantage of the open space created by the cattle to steal the grass on the ground.
"This is really good," Zhang Chi said, "When you finish eating this piece, you can eat it somewhere else."
"When this patch is finished, I plan to cover it with snow to see if the grass can continue to grow like this after covering it with snow," Cannon said.
"If it can still grow like this, we won't need to save so much hay for winter in the future. When the price is good, we can sell it and it will be another income," Cannon said.
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "This is a good idea."
While he was smiling, Zhang Chi spotted a black insect moving under his feet out of the corner of his eye. This guy was quite big, and Zhang Chi was shocked.
"Don't step on it, this is the treasure of our ranch," Cannon said immediately when he saw his boss trying to step on the black bug.
Zhang Chi stopped and realized that the black bug he saw turned out to be a Shit Crocodile.
Shit crocodiles are a good thing for ranches. They like to roll dung into balls and then transport them underground for storage.
The result of this is that on the one hand, there is less excrement on the ground, and you don't have to watch where the cows poop, but these guys never eat the grass next to their own excrement. If there is too much excrement on the grass, these excrement machines
I will find another place to eat grass.
Under normal conditions, there are no dung beetles. It takes several months for the earth to digest the feces. No rancher can wait for so long, so they all look forward to having more dung beetles in the pasture.
When there are more feces, there will be less feces on the ground, and the time for the earth to digest these feces will be reduced accordingly. The interval between grazing will be shorter, and the benefits will naturally increase.
The second is that the manure that reaches the ground will become nutrients for pasture.
This is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone, so the Shit Crocker is a friend of the ranch and a good helper for the cowboys.
Such a useful thing instantly became cute in Zhang Chi's eyes.
"Little thing, it's so dark and pleasing to the eye."
As he spoke, Zhang Chi wanted to use his fingers to pull it, but when he thought of the nature of the job this guy was doing, he retracted his hand.
Others can push cow shit, but touching it by yourself is the same as touching cow shit. Even if Zhang Chi doesn't care about cleanliness, doing this will have psychological effects.
But Cannon didn't care at all. He stretched out his hand and caught the Shikko in the palm of his hand, holding it up: "I didn't expect that they were still working diligently at this time."
After saying that, Cannon started looking for it on the ground again.
"What are you looking for, looking for cow dung and putting it away?" Zhang Chi asked.
Seeing Cannon holding a burrito in his hand, Zhang Chi wondered whether he would eat the burritos made by Cannon in the future.
Cannon put the dung bag in his hand on the ground, actually looked for a cow dung and put it next to it, then continued to squat on the ground and started looking.
Zhang Chi was quite curious and squatted down to look at the grass with Cannon.
"found it!"
Cannon was excited.
He stretched out his hand and pinched it on the ground, and an insect landed in the palm of his hand.
"Boss, look, there are still this kind of shitheads in the ranch."
Zhang Chi looked at the palm of his hand and found that there was a slightly larger dung beetle in Cannon's palm. The color of this dung beetle was a little different from the previous one. The shell of this dung beetle was gray-brown, which was similar to the color of the earth.
The colors are almost the same.
Cannon said: "This kind of dung beetle is stronger and the dung balls it makes are bigger. BOSS, let's take a look at the dung balls it makes."
Zhang Chi drove and almost kicked Cannon flying to the top of a snow-capped mountain in the distance.
What do you think when these two old men have nothing to do but squat next to a pile of shit and watch a shit beetle rub a ball of shit?
If word of this gets out, your boss's face will be completely lost.
And this sounds pitiful.
The two bachelors have nothing to do, just watch Shit Krong push the shit ball!
Although Cannon has a wife, he is equivalent to a bachelor here.
Cannon placed the dung beetle next to a pile of cow dung.
"BOSS, this pile of cow dung is fresh."
vomit!
If someone heard what he said, they would think that these two fools ate each other separately. How can cow dung be described as fresh? You said it was freshly pooped!
Zhang Chi wanted to leave, but felt that he had nothing to do, so he might as well stay and see.
So Zhang Chi stood next to Cannon without squatting down. Although grass-fed cow dung didn't stink, Zhang Chi still hated seeing this brown-black and sparse stuff.
