Chapter 1302 1286. How is Licking Bricks Made (25)

New Zealand is sparsely populated and rich in resources. People have no sense of thrift. It can be seen from Wang Bo's purchase of books last time that millions of books were just disposed of as waste!

In winter, as long as the sky froze for a moment, the towns and villages began to heat up crazily. Fearing that they would be wronged, every household even had a stove and air-conditioning heating in the house, wishing that it would snow outside and be shirtless inside.

However, with so many stoves burning so hard, Wang Bo has never seen smoggy weather in New Zealand. As long as it is not cloudy, the sun is shining and the weather is fine.

Therefore, when he learned on the Internet that some brick-and-mortar households in China blamed the smoggy weather on the stove in the north, he found it ridiculous.

Mortak's wife put a large teapot on the table, and they used a large cup, and Wang Bo felt that it would be great if he could drink this cup.

In addition to the two of them, there were also ranchers nearby to play, and there was nothing to do when it snowed, so I just took a short vacation for myself.

"Hey, Moses, how are you doing? I heard that you fell off your horse some time ago?" Wang Bo said after taking a sip of sweet and sour black tea.

Old Moses shook his head and said, "Don't talk about it, damn it, I thought I was going to be blessed by the Lord, I even saw God's feet!"

"so serious?"

"Well, if God hadn't been merciful and kicked me down from the sky, then you can go and put a wreath on my grave now."

Listening to his humor, Wang Bo knew it was not a big deal.

Someone said: "What did you give Motakla a cart? I just looked at it from the window, it looks like fodder?"

Wang Bodao: "Yes, it's fodder, one batch is alfalfa fodder, and the other batch is green corn-based silage fodder."

Suddenly someone said regretfully: "Then he is really lucky, do you still need to lick bricks? I also have a workshop to produce, and you don't need to give me feed in return. You know, I am completely happy to help you for free, haha."

Several people laughed, and Motak shook his head and said, "Forget it, Kleite, aren't you going to raise livestock? What can you do with pasture?"

Clayt laughed and said, "It's snowing well this winter. From this point of view, there shouldn't be any drought in the next six months. If that's the case, why don't I raise livestock?"

"I really want to change the farm. The groundwater in this farm is too bad."

"Your place is already good, buddy, I heard that some time ago someone bought a pasture in Cromwell, and the price was low, but that was a foreigner who didn't know about pastures at all. The pasture he bought lacked groundwater and suffered a lot of losses. "

Wang Bo heard the news that the person who bought the ranch was a Chinese, but he was a Chinese rich man from Wall Street in the United States, who wanted to take advantage of the land boom in New Zealand to buy land and make money.

Drinking sweet hot tea, everyone chatted for a while, and when the body warmed up, Motak was going to lead someone to make licking bricks.

Wang Bo is the demander, and he can't let Motak do it by himself, so Lao Wang, who hasn't done physical work for a long time, also rolled up his sleeves and went into battle.

It was too cold outside, he rolled up his sleeves and put them down as soon as he went out, his skin got goosebumps from the cold.

Motak converted a warehouse into a workshop, which can not only produce licking bricks, but also produce dry feed, beef jerky, cheese and other items.

The entire warehouse was cleaned and spotless, and the machines were polished to a bright spot. After wandering around inside, Wang Bo came back and said, "With this, your pastures and farms can be self-sufficient."

Motak smiled and said, "Every ranch should have such a production line, aren't you tempted?"

Wang Bo shrugged and said: "I have a ranch, a sheep oil production line, a cheese production line, and I am preparing for a yogurt production line."

Mortak dissolved a bag of chemicals in water and said, "I've heard about the cheese and milk you produce there, but it's too expensive for me to use."

All the products produced by Sunset Ranch are high-end and high-quality goods. Except for the townsmen who sell them cheaply as welfare, many of them go abroad.

Wang Bodao: "If you like, you can go to my ranch to get it at any time. Hey, what did you add?"

Motak patted the bag and said: "High-nitrogen urea is specially used to supplement nitrogen for livestock. Sugar, honey, salt, mineral additives, and vitamins are also added, all of which are necessary for livestock."

"Sugar and honey?"

"Of course, they're not stupid. If it doesn't taste good, why would they be interested in licking it?" Motak said.

After preparing a large bucket of nutrient solution, Motak whistled, and his workers brought out three large bags from the hut. Wang Bo looked at it and found that it was Portland cement.

"Why is cement still used?" Wang Bo was surprised.

Motak spread his hands and said, "Because it's called licking bricks, can there be no cement in the turn? Don't worry, it won't eat them badly. In fact, their rumens need some silicate particles."

The nutrient solution and silicate were prepared, and someone added wheat bran powder and other dry powders, and then the mixer began to hum.

After stirring for nearly half an hour, Motak whistled again, and someone manipulated the machine to officially make licking bricks.

Making licking bricks requires molds. Motak introduced to Wang Bo: "In fact, generally speaking, the specifications of the molds should be flexibly determined according to the number of cattle and sheep fed and the feeding method used."

"Standard parameters are fine," Wang Bo nodded, "My ranch has been using standard mold parameters."

Motak's molds here are mostly made of wood, made into rectangles, and weigh about five kilograms.

A batch of molds is sent up, and the contents of the barrel flow out, and then wait for an hour in the mold to harden slightly, then buckle it out, and use the mold again for the next batch.

Generally, licking bricks can be fully hardened after 30 hours, and can be used after they are completely dry.

The licking bricks that just came out are brownish-yellow, with a sweet aroma, just like snacks.

"The formula I use is somewhat different from the feed mill, but the principle is the same. It can provide a good fermentation environment for the rumen of cattle and sheep, promote the proliferation of rumen microorganisms, increase the feed intake of livestock, and promote the digestion, absorption and utilization of fibrous feed. .” Mortak explained when he saw his research.

Wang Bo said: "Yes, you did a good job."

Motak smiled and said, "Of course, buddy, if you do what you do and love what you do, let's make some insect repellent bricks for the next batch. It will definitely be beneficial for those animals to eat in spring."

There are several types of licking bricks, common element licking bricks, mineral salt bricks, concentrate supplementary material bricks and insect repellent medicine bricks.

Naturally, Wang Bo would not refuse to accept Motak's kindness, so as to save him from buying.
