Chapter 643 643. What can rhubarb do?
Xiao Zhu, the branch secretary, never expected that he would help Song Tan’s family get rhubarb back with this train!
When she went back and told everyone about it, everyone found it unbelievable.
Ulan also didn't expect: "This old man Li, didn't he say that nothing happened? Why did he act like..."
She didn't finish the rest of her words, but it was obvious that she couldn't understand his behavior.
Rhubarb is worth a lot of money now, why should you just give it away? He also said it would be given to Qiao Qiao.
But if you don’t believe it, Party Secretary Xiao Zhu said that he helped bear witness, made a gift contract, and even recorded a video!
Because of this, his son and daughter-in-law made a fuss in the ward and were scolded by the nurse.
At this moment, everyone was speechless looking at Dahuang standing safely in the yard.
Only Qiaoqiao said happily: "Oh oh oh!!"
He circled around the rhubarb:
"Dahuang will belong to our family from now on! Can I take him to the back mountain? Or bring him to Dabai."
This silly boy, he doesn’t know anything about this!
But when everyone looked at his smile, they thought it was nothing. Just give the rhubarb as a gift. They are the ones taking advantage anyway, so why do you think so much?
Ulan relaxed and was thinking about this:
"Let your dad take some time to build a simple cowshed tomorrow. At night, you can take it to the back mountain for the king to watch. During the day, you can take it to Dabai and let it soak in the water by the pond to cool down... over there There’s a lot of grass too.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah!” Qiao Qiao nodded quickly, and then he imitated everyone and let out a long sigh of relief:
“I will definitely take good care of Rhubarb!”
“The little fat man is so annoying, I’m really afraid that he will take the rhubarb and sell it for meat... The rhubarb is old, and it is very hard for him to plow the fields..."
After hearing this, Secretary Zhu Zhu glanced at Song Tan again and thought, "Don't worry. That little fat man will not dare to enter our yard in the future."
He was so honest in the hospital today. Who would believe that Song Tan didn't hurt him?
While Qiao Qiao was happily leading the cow up the back mountain, Song Sancheng suddenly asked:
“It’s true that we got rhubarb for free, but what can it be used for?”
As soon as this question was asked, everyone fell silent.
Yeah, what can rhubarb do now?
The family will have more land next year, so we can hire people or arrange farm machinery so that there is no need for cattle to plow the fields.
There is not much work for it to do now. They wanted rhubarb, and whether it was looking at Old Man Li or Qiao Qiao's condition, they were definitely reluctant to kill it.
Ah this.
Xiao Zhu, the branch secretary, is also numb:
"Just...just keep it for nothing, just keep it as a dog and cat?"
But dogs and cats can just eat leftovers, right? This rhubarb will need special forage when winter comes!
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
In the end, it was Seventh Cousin who made the decision:
"Why do you have nothing to do? You grind so many soybeans to make soy milk, and you call your cousin every time? Just let Dahuang help. Just change to a larger stone mill."
“When the corn is dried, it can still be ground into cornmeal.”
Professor Song also pondered: "If your family grows rice next year, if you still use the traditional threshing method, rhubarb can help pull stones and grind it."
As for the others...I really can’t think of anything else.
But no matter what, Rhubarb can still be used, as if their troubles are worth it. Everyone felt happy again and then dispersed.
…
Here, Qiaoqiao had already pulled Dahuang up the back mountain, and was looking at each other with the king at this moment.
One cow and one dog stared at each other, and Dahuang’s always gentle and patient big eyes were also full of vigilance——
Even if it is a cow of the king's size, he can feel threatened.
However, Qiaoqiao didn't notice it at all and was still counting on his fingers.
"Dahuang, Dahuang, I like you so much... Look, this is the king of our family. We also have Dabao, Dabai, Daxiong... and Datian. Your name is Dahuang, so you are the same as them. "
“You stay in the mountains at night, and the king will protect you.”
He sighed again as he spoke:
"Da Tian has started stealing things recently. I spanked him, but what should I do if he still doesn't change? If my sister finds out, will she kick Da Tian out of the house? Stop calling him Da Tian?"
Obviously Datian was fed with rice from home every day, but he still seemed not to have enough to eat. He secretly went to the warehouse and pulled out a pack of dried fish and shrimps.
Seventh Cousin For the convenience of storage, these are packed in small packages and evacuated. Da Tian was small and clever at stealing, so he took a bite out of the innermost bag.
However smart it is and no matter how clean it is, the smell of fish and shrimp cannot be hidden.
Qiao Qiao didn’t take it seriously at first, but later he found out that the dried fish had been bitten by it and dragged to the back mountain by familiar roads.
The dried shrimps were all hidden in its mouth. He caught it and spanked it, then slapped it all over the floor.
For this reason, Qiao Qiao put on her most ferocious attitude: "Datian! Didn't I tell you not to steal? You can't steal! If you do this again, I'm going to tell my sister! I'll grab a handful of rice for you every day. Why are you still not full?"
Da Tian is covered in golden fur, velvety and shiny, and feels soft in the hand. No one can resist it.
But Doudou looked at Qiaoqiao, feeling guilty and clever, and squeaking in his mouth, as if he was accusing something...
In short, fight as long as you fight, and don’t dare to fight next time!
The mountain forest was dark, and the flashlight illuminated the land in front of her. Qiao Qiao sighed and sat there, her round head filled with careful thoughts and worries.
…
Qiaoqiao's secret is not a secret at all. This silly boy's eyes are purring when he lies, which makes him extremely cute.
Song Tan had no intention of investigating. She was following Professor Song and looking at the pictures taken by the drone.
The large piece of land on the river beach now belongs to him, and it is an extremely gentle land with gentle winds, humid climate, and fertile soil... so weeds are especially abundant.
Just look at the green area now. If you raise cattle and sheep there, you only need to build a shed and there is almost no need to worry about food rations.
The only problem is that if you want to renovate it, because it is next to the river, it is difficult for an excavator to get down to nearly half of the place.
At this moment, Professor Song was analyzing her with a pen.
“If you want to raise cattle and sheep, I suggest arranging an excavator to clear out the area that can be dug. In this way, by the end of September or October, we can quickly plant a batch of bamboo grass or sweet elephant grass.”
“They grow very fast and can be harvested when the temperature drops. With just one crop, there is no problem in producing several tons per acre of land.”
“Don’t waste it near the water where you can’t use an excavator. Try planting it directly. Even if the yield is not that high, it won’t mean that it won’t grow.”
“With a little processing, it can be used as green storage for cattle and sheep in winter, and can even be used to feed pigs. Otherwise, to feed cattle and sheep in winter, you will need to buy high-priced feed... It is not cost-effective.”
I didn’t go back today for the Dragon Boat Festival, but I will go back tomorrow!
The sweet elephant grass is easy to die in freezing temperatures and is intolerant of cold, but it does not require soil and can be planted anywhere (including desert transformation).
