Chapter 1103: Cows, Milk

Bang!

In some houses not far from the farm, there was a sudden explosion sound, and I don't know what happened, only to see some birds and beasts around scattered in an instant!

"Failed again!"

A man with a floury face said with some disappointment, this was their seventeenth defeat.

Li Jian also stood by and watched, this was proposed by him, but he could only follow these people to fool around!

"It's okay, at least it's much better than before, this time the temperature should not be well controlled!"

If you want to study something, how can you not spend time and energy, there is no ready-made cheap to pick up, so you can only work hard yourself.

Li Jian said comfortingly on the side, although he has failed many times, but each time it is better than the first, and I believe that it will be done soon.

"Captain, we've consumed more than two hundred flour in the past few days! Isn't it ......"

Just their own research, making noodles every day consumes so much, ordinary people simply don't have the capital to research.

"Flour is not a problem, we also harvested a lot last year, and we also bought a lot from various places, and the food is still very sufficient!"

Li Jian now has money and won't let it rust, just buy things and store them if they have nothing to do, food is the most important thing, and now their granary is full, so they don't have to worry about eating at all.

"That's good!"

A few people nodded, and finally Li Jian came out, it is better to let them study quietly after all, they will only get in the way here!

The first thing I did when I got back to the farm was to see how they were doing with their chicken coop.

This year, Li Jian plans to raise poultry on a large scale, anyway, this mountain is so big, it is not a problem to feed so many chickens.

"Dig a pit for me here, put lime in it, and sprinkle it around the chicken coop every day!"

They are raising chickens, and it would be bad if they had chicken plague or something, and now there is no vaccine for chickens, only prevention.

"Captain, why are we getting so much lime when we have nothing to do?"

"Don't worry so much, you can get it, try to get as much as you can!"

Li Jian also explained too much, and directly asked Lao Zhang to get it.

This time, the chicken coop was built very large, and at least 50,000 poultry could be raised.

It is also said that if something happens in one place, it will not be affected in other places.

However, Li Jian still thinks that this chicken coop is too small, and it will have to be expanded in the future, 50,000 chickens is not much at all, and they can be eaten quickly if they are given.

And Li Jian's main thing is not only chickens, but also eggs, duck eggs and whatever, these are all good things!

After a few days, the chicken coop was finally ready, and they were almost finished a year ago, and now they just need to add wood fixing and so on.

There are a lot of disabled fighters on the farm, and it can be done in a short time.

"Captain, our chicks should be able to hatch soon, and we will be able to raise them well!"

Lao Zhang wiped the cold night on his forehead and said with some excitement, but Li Jian was not as excited as he imagined.

Raising chickens is not farming, like planting potatoes or something, you can have a little income in the end, but if you don't raise chickens well, you will definitely not have a chicken in the end.

Therefore, the preparation must be done sufficiently.

"Raise more dogs, be responsible for watching these poultry, if there are yellow-skinned or wolves or the like, it can also serve as a warning!"

Although there are very few wolves on the nearby mountains, Li Jian is not so relieved.

"How's the sheep going?"

At this time, Li Jian asked Lao Zhang, who was packing up his tools, wool and even goat's milk are good things, which will be of great help to them.

"Oh, those sheep that specialize in wool eat well, and their hair grows fast!"

"As for those milk-producing sheep, the amount is too small, we won't raise them at all, and the rams and ewes don't do anything together, and they can't give birth to lambs!"

"Even if we are born, we may not be able to feed us!"

Lao Zhang is still very worried, he didn't know this before, and the work on the farm is completely halfway home, and the skills are not in place.

"That's okay, it's going to be spring soon, you put those ewes and rams together, they will definitely do something, and the little lambs will definitely have them then!"

Although Li Jian specially invited farmers who knew how to breed, they couldn't take care of it completely.

All the wool and everything are sent to the quilt factory, and when the time comes, you can get out of the woolen sweater or something.

"How's the cows, it's okay to produce milk!"

Li Jian hopes that those cows can produce a lot of bought, and they will be sent to the fortress every day when they are milked.

The soldiers were able to drink milk every day, and their lives were really comfortable, and they were definitely in good health.

At this time, Li Jian is also going to get the preservatives out as soon as possible, the milk is too poor to keep fresh, if there are no preservatives, it is estimated that it can only be stored for three days in this winter.

Not only did he want the soldiers in the fortress to drink milk, but also the soldiers of the brigades below.

It's best to make milk powder or something, so that you might be able to chew it twice on the march.

"Those cows are fine, they can produce milk every day, although it doesn't taste very good, it tastes very good, but it really has a lot of effect on the body!"

Lao Zhang didn't like milk very much before, because of the taste of food, but now he will have a few cups every day, and his body is on par.

At the same time, this is also the reason why the children in the school are so good, especially every morning there is a small glass of milk, and if it doesn't grow well, there are ghosts.

"Of course, otherwise why would I raise these cattle that can't plow the fields!"

Cows don't plow the fields, and this long-haired cow is not a cow at all in the eyes of many people.

If it weren't for Li Jian's special effort to let people go to the north to exchange with people, it took a lot of oceans, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to taste cheese now.

Every month, someone would pull cattle from the north, and Li Jian spent money to buy them.

Now they have almost 200 full-grown cows on their side.

They also raise male cows, although the amount is not very much, but the cows also need to mate, otherwise how to give birth to calves, you can't always rely on cows to buy it!

And Li Jian still wants to eat beef, those extra adult bulls are directly killed, and Li Jian is ready to make beef jerky.

Black cattle and cattle that plough the fields cannot be killed, because the common people need them.

It is said that about half of the time every year, the cattle that plough the fields are not raised by them at all, they are all taken away by the people, and Li Jian does not charge, he only needs to feed the cattle.

This is completely convenient for the life of the common people, they have come to borrow cattle, so that every season to plough the field, there is not a single cow on the farm.

Otherwise, they really don't have that much energy to raise other cows, after all, many cows need to be watched.

Before, Li Jian had been worried that there were too many disabled fighters on the farm, and it would be bad if he couldn't support them, but only now did he realize that there were fewer of these fighters at all, so he had to hire workers.

Even now that Li Jian is punishing the soldiers, he doesn't care about the confinement, and directly lets them come to work on the farm.
