Chapter 1223
When people raise animals, they will establish feelings with animals, and the deeper this feeling, the more tacit understanding they will have with each other, which is reflected in the competition, that is, the animals will unconditionally cooperate with the owner and help the owner win the final victory of the game.
If the relationship between humans and animals is not good, then, at the critical moment of the game, the animal will refuse to cooperate, and even deliberately make trouble, so that the owner loses face, so as to completely lose the game.
The right way is to put more care and love into the animals raised, to put it simply, to care more about the animals they raise, so that they feel your love for it, so that they can establish a close master-servant relationship.
Whether it is a cat or dog that is close to humans, or a donkey and horse that seems to have a cold relationship with people, they all have a lot of inner feelings, everything in the world has feelings, not only humans have feelings.
However, different animals show different ways and intensities of feelings, which will cause many misunderstandings, such as cats and dogs show strong feelings for people, while cattle and horses are relatively cold.
This situation has led to many people who like cats and dogs excessively, and have no feelings for cattle and horses, and even deliberately raise dogs to a height above other animals, always emphasizing the greatness of this animal, and indirectly despising the rest of the animals.
For example, some people will say that dogs can guide the blind, can watch the door, how can they be, it seems, these abilities are incomparable to other animals, but they don't think about it, cattle can plough the land, donkeys can pull mills, horses can ride, chickens and geese can lay eggs, cows, horses and donkeys can be used to pull carts, and these abilities are not possessed by dogs, and many people raise things, there is no guide to the blind at all, anti-drug these functions, at most is to accompany and pretend to be forced, the interference to the neighbors is quite big, It will even collide with passers-by, bringing great disruption and disaster to the whole society.
It was originally an animal that could be used well and could serve human beings, but it turned out to be a social nuisance by many uncivilized people, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness, the sorrow of dogs and the sorrow of people.
Originally, many people who raised cats and dogs were caring people, but after the toss of some extreme dog lovers, many people felt that this person was of extremely poor quality when they saw the person who raised animals, and was an extremist and an extremely selfish person, so they were unwilling to associate with such people.
The selfishness of some people has led to the whole group being attacked, which is really undesirable and uncivilized.
In the society of later generations, the reason why people will love dogs extremely is naturally because of the emptiness of the spirit, and when the spirit is empty, many times it is necessary to raise an animal to relieve the lonely mood, among all animals, the most like to please humans, I am afraid that there are only dogs, in addition, with the development of urbanization, it is not realistic to raise a cow at home, so many people can only raise dogs, and over time they naturally prefer dogs.
Ang Lee is not a dog lover, to be precise, Ang Lee prefers horses with higher practicality, or chickens, ducks and geese that can bring him enough by-products, it is more cost-effective to raise these things, while raising dogs is pure investment but no return, just spiritual companionship.
There are very few dogs in the house, only four or five, all of them are very obedient high-quality dogs, mainly to help the servants who watch the door, to prevent strangers from breaking in at will, there is no other role, as for going out hunting, you don't need a dog, Li An feels that taking a dog to hunt is completely cumbersome, his archery skills are powerful enough, and he also invented a powerful sniper rifle, it is enough to use these for hunting, and it is useless to take a dog.
Tang Er is still young, obviously not quite understanding the importance of establishing a relationship with animals, and how to establish such an intimate relationship, which requires Ang Lee's education and guidance.
"Tang'er, my father will teach you to brush the horses now, okay?"
Li An said.
Although Tang Er was a little reluctant, he still nodded and said, "Okay!" We're going to brush the horses now. ”
The backyard is large enough to have a clean water source, and in order to grow crops in the greenhouse, there is also a special manure heap for composting, and there is a manure tank next to the manure heap, which is not very large, so as long as it is not very close, it will not smell much.
There is also a pool for storing water not far from the manure tank, this pool is much larger than the manure tank, and there are even lotus roots planted in it, but due to the season, in the pool at the moment, in addition to some cold water, there are not too many plants, only some aquatic plants, you need to wait until the summer, here can be full of lotus flowers, full of lotus leaves.
The sewage from washing vegetables and laundry in ordinary life will not be directly disposed of, but will be stored in this puddle, which can be regarded as a rational use of resources, and the pollution of these sewage is not large, and there is no problem with breeding lotus roots and fish.
Although it is winter at the moment, because the fish have a strong resistance to the cold, there are still many fish swimming around in this pool, and a small amount of aquatic plants in the water is food for the fish, in addition, some of the leftover pasta will be put into the water to supply the needs of these fish to grow.
This backyard can be said to have formed a complete ecological chain, domestic sewage and leftover pasta can be used to raise fish, and fish manure and animal feces can be used to grow vegetables, leftover leaves can also be used as fertilizer, and then the produced fish and vegetables can provide food for humans, thus forming a complete ecological cycle chain.
If Li An wants to scrub the horses, he naturally chooses to be next to the puddle, so that the sewage flowing out can flow directly into the puddle to avoid pollution of the ground, and in order to dirty the ground, near the puddle, he specially used the cement newly invented by Li An to make a scrubbing platform.
The platform is slightly higher on all sides, flat in the middle, but there is a sink leading directly to the puddle, and on one side of the platform there is a platform for a not-so-large water tower and brushing tools.
This water tower is actually a tin bucket, the height is only more than a zhang, it is full of clean water, and there is a pipe at the bottom leading to the scrubbing workbench, so that when the horses are brushed, they can be cleaned with flowing water, so that the cleaning effect will be better.
Although the weather is colder in winter, the horses are more adaptable to the environment, and as long as the water is not too cold, the horses are acceptable.
In order to prevent the water pipe from being frozen and cracked, this small water tower will be temporarily added when it is in use, and the temperature can be adjusted at will.
Because it is in winter, if you use cold water to rinse the horse directly, it is easy to cause the horse to get sick, so you must mix boiling hot water into the well water, so that the water temperature can reach the body temperature of the horse, a little more or less does not matter much, but it must not deviate too much, too hot will burn the horse, and too cold, will make the horse sick.
In winter, the temperature of the well water is much higher than that of the water on the river, about 10 degrees Celsius. There is no big problem with washing the horses directly with such water, but after all, ten degrees is still too low, at least to thirty degrees to be useful, so it must be mixed with hot water.
The servants heard that Li An was going to take Tang Er to scrub the horses in person, so they naturally went to prepare immediately, whether it was boiling hot water or cold water in the well, it was sufficient, and the boiling hot water was quickly carried, and the well water was also drawn quickly, and buckets of well water were quickly sent over.
Li An and Tang Er just brushed a horse, and it stands to reason that they don't need much water, but after all, Li An personally brushed it, so the servants still prepared according to the maximum amount, so as not to be enough for Li An.
A few buckets of hot water and a dozen buckets of cold water were quickly poured into a large iron bucket one zhang high, and Li An felt that it was almost enough, so he began to teach Tang Er to scrub the horses.
"Tang'er, father flushes with water, you come to scrub the horses, okay?"
Li An said.
"Good! Father. ”
Tang Er took the brush and said with a smile.
Li An gently turned on the switch, and a stream of water about the same body temperature as a human body gushed out softly, landing on the white crane's horse, and the splash partially fell on Li An and Tang Er's clothes and skin.
The reason why the water tower was not built higher is because the higher the water tower is built, the greater the water pressure, so that the water sprayed out will be more violent, which will wet the people's bodies, and the larger the water spray, the greater the amount of clean water used, which can easily lead to the horses have not finished brushing, and the water in the water tower has been gone.
The water tower is built low, the water pressure will be smaller, so that the water head will be softer, which can not only save water, but also not easy to splash people's clothes, which is a very suitable and good way.
Tang Er gently wiped his face with his sleeve, and then happily brushed the horse, because he had not learned how to brush, so the brush was very inadequate, it was simply a blind stirring on the horseback, not only was the brush not good enough, but also made himself covered in water.
"Hehehe......"
Maybe it was the first time to brush the horses, and Tang Er had a very strong sense of freshness, so he had a lot of fun, brushing here and poking there, and there was no seriousness.
"Tang'er, don't mess around, you can't brush it clean like this, come, give the brush to your father, and let your father teach you to clean."
Li An said with a smile, let Tang Er take out the brush, he wanted to demonstrate in person, and teach Tang Er how to brush the horses.
"Tang'er, look at it! Brush the horses, be sure to clean from top to bottom, little by little, don't miss any place, like you scrub so indiscriminately, how can you remember where it has been brushed, where it has not been brushed, and also, when brushing evenly, neither too hard, nor too light, too much force will hurt the horse, and not enough force, it will not be clean, understand? ”
Ang Lee opened his mouth to educate.
"Got it, father."
Tang Er was not very happy to respond, when he rode the horse just now, he was very interested, but at this moment to brush the horse, in addition to the excitement just now, he immediately felt bored, after all, brushing the horse is not a refreshing thing, this is fundamentally different from riding a horse, just like driving a car and repairing a car in work clothes, can this feel the same? Anyone likes to drive around, but how many people like to get under their car to fix it?
"Don't pout, come, continue to scrub, and scrub the whole body of the white crane."
Li An didn't let Tang Er go, and asked.
Tang Er said helplessly: "Yes, father." ”
After speaking, he honestly brushed the horses, but because Tang'er's strength was still too weak, he didn't need to use his strength at all when brushing, especially some parts that were not very good at brushing, and they were not in place.
Of course, Tang Er is still just a child after all, and it is already very good to be able to learn how to scrub horses seriously, as for the brushing is not in place, it can also be practiced slowly, this is not in a hurry, there is no need to be in a hurry, and there is no need to be so demanding of him.
"Although the brush is not very good, however, my Tang'er has taken the first step, my father is very happy, come, there is still the last horse's tail here, which also needs to be cleaned, however, Tang'er must remember, when cleaning the horse's tail, you must not pull the horse's tail hard, otherwise, the horse will be angry, maybe it will give you a kick, then it will be bad, you have to put the horse's tail in the bucket to soak it, and then stand on the side and slowly clean, remember it."
Li An said.
Although the horse seems to be very docile, but in fact it also has a temper, only by following the horse's temper, it can serve human beings well, if it does not follow the horse's temper, the horse will stumble, even if the owner and the horse have established a deep relationship, the horse will still stumble, because this is its temper, is its habitual action, for example, when the owner slaps the horse's tail hard, the horse just wants to tell the owner, don't trample my tail, I hurt, and the horse can't speak, He can only express his thoughts with movements, so he will kick behind him.
Some people also feel that when the horse's tail is violently lame, the horse will feel a very strong security threat, and because this threat is behind them, their eyes can't see at all, and they can't figure out what the threat behind them is, and they can't see their owner, so the horse will instinctively kick back, and then protect their own lives.
