Chapter 139: Resettlement of Livestock, Fairyland No. 5 and 6
A barbecue dinner, from afternoon to evening. Read М
The lamb chops are tender and not too dry or greasy.
The pork chops are salty and fragrant, and the flavor is rich after being marinated.
The pork belly is full of oil and juice. Sister Bai is no different from the three carnivores, and she eats with a smile on her face.
Saranzhu, who was as quiet as a wooden man, also had a full belly and lay comfortably, staring blankly with her belly sticking out.
Although these meats are ordinary varieties, Gu Ke and others ate more than 100 kilograms, but they still felt a little full.
The main reason is that the body's instinctive desire for meat fat has been greatly satisfied.
Looking at the remaining skewers, even Xiaoman no longer had the feeling of "green eyes" in the past.
Gu Ke did not intend to let her go like this. He raised his hand and opened the lid of the round oven that had been simmering on a small fire next to him for an afternoon: "Xiaoman, don't worry, there are special dishes prepared for you here."
Two pieces of pork belly appeared in front of everyone, they were really big.
After being roasted for a long time in the round oven, and poured with red pear juice and gravy, a small part of the surface was burnt black, while most of it was red with oily gloss.
Waves of slightly sweet meaty aroma came, and even though Xiaoman was satisfied with a pile of skewers, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Sweet? It looks delicious."
Xiao Ping'er had a similar expression: "This came up earlier, I should be able to eat a big piece."
Gu Ke laughed and took Xiaoman's small stone knife and raised his hand to cut it.
He deliberately used the back and forth cutting action, and it was very slow. The black and red pork belly was unwillingly cracked under the pressure of the blade.
The juice with oily stars overflowed and slid from the inside, revealing a clearly layered cross-section, with the sweet and sour aroma of red pear and meat.
Xiaoman widened his eyes and rubbed his stomach: "Ahhhhh, I want to eat it, give me a big piece."
Xiao Ping'er also nodded frantically, indicating "Me too".
Only Bai Suqing was confused: This looks very greasy, but what should I do if I still want to eat it!
Fortunately, Gu Ke's "special dish" was not aimed at her.
The two children worked together to deal with one piece, and he only cut a small plate for himself and Bai Suqing to taste.
The rest was directly put in the warehouse, leaving it for the two children as "snacks" tomorrow.
The sun sets and the moon rises. The charcoal fire in the barbecue stove on Yulong Peak has gone out, and only the small oven still emits a little flame.
The two children and Saranzhu ate and drank enough, and collapsed on the bamboo couch and chairs, humming, satisfied like three happy piglets.
Gu Ke and Bai Suqing sat on the rocking chair, letting them rock gently, holding a cup of clear tea in their hands, and chatting carefully.
The Cangshan Mountains are covered with snow, and the wind and smoke are clear. The family sits leisurely, and the fire is friendly.
...
In the next few days, Gu Ke took the two children and slowly processed a large number of poultry and livestock.
In the end, only dozens of adult male and female pigs and sheep with the best physique were left, as well as their young. A total of more than 200 adult chickens, ducks and geese were left.
These foreign livestock were of inferior quality, and it was useless to keep too many, and more energy would be spent on taking care of them.
Leaving these behind was enough for them to reproduce naturally and gradually expand their population.
Anyway, there were no natural enemies or dangers in the valley, so their reproduction speed would not be slow.
When batches of young cubs grew up, the old batches would be gradually eliminated.
There were also a dozen old cows, which were found when Wei Zhongde sent soldiers to look for livestock.
Plow cattle are very important animal power, which can be used for plowing and pulling carts. Private slaughter is not allowed in all parts of Dawu, and a considerable "cow slaughter tax" will be levied.
Some people who want to eat beef will use old cows to report old age and then kill them to avoid this "cow slaughter tax".
This kind of thing belongs to the gray area, and people without some power cannot do it.
However, this time Wei Zhongde was in a hurry to get livestock, and launched a "surprise attack" across the city.
The private slaughterhouse with cattle was caught off guard and caught in the act. Not only were the pigs, cattle and sheep confiscated on the spot, but they also had to pay a fine afterwards.
Gu Ke was reluctant to do anything with these old cows, in case they could still give birth to some calves.
He got too many livestock this time, with all the main varieties, and he would not change them for a long time in the future.
Collect them again just for beef? Haha, he didn't want to spend a few more days messing around.
Finally, there were about twenty old horses and donkeys, still from Wei Zhongde.
He needed too many livestock, so he simply stuffed in the old and unusable horses and donkeys in the army.
The trading contract did not prohibit this behavior, after all, they were alive and their meat could be eaten.
The reproduction rate of horses and donkeys was not high, let alone these old, weak and sick ones.
Besides, they could not be eaten for the time being, so Gu Ke was too lazy to bother and just let them go, and he would deal with them when there were more in the future.
There were also aquatic products.
Qianquan City is located at the mouth of Qianquan River, with one side facing the river and the other facing the sea. There are many aquatic products in both the sea and the river.
The cave cannot breed seafood, and roadside stalls will not accept it, but the fish, shrimp and crabs in the river can.
Compared with the poultry and livestock raised at home for a long time, the number of aquatic products caught and eaten is not much, but the absolute number is not small.
Gu Ke threw them all into the small river within the scope of the ten-mile pasture.
Xiaoman and Xiaoping'er sprinkled some rice bran, grains and meat residues into the river at regular intervals and in fixed quantities every day, just like the livestock shed, to ensure that they would not starve to death.
The main reason is that Yulong Valley is special. There were no insects before, and the small river was naturally the same.
Now it has become Yulong Cave, and insects that have not been confirmed by Gu Ke cannot enter.
If some fish food is not fed, some carnivorous fish, shrimps and crabs may really starve to death.
Finally, there were some scattered and different animals.
Such as dogs, rabbits, hares, pigeons, quails, turtles, and hundreds of non-raptor birds - Gu Ke thought that it was probably Wei Zhongde who sent troops to shut down some flower and bird shops.
In addition, there were two boxes of bees and a large pile of earthworms.
These were just the ones Gu Ke accepted.
Among them, he only accepted two dogs that were two or three months old, leaving them for Xiaoman and Xiaoping'er as playmates.
And there were more that were rejected, such as carnivores such as cats, mice, cockroaches, bedbugs, fleas, ladybugs, etc.
The number of people who proposed this kind of transaction was quite considerable, at least thousands of people.
Taking advantage and having crooked minds are common problems of human beings, or instincts, so Gu Ke was not surprised or angry.
Of course, he did not leave these big loopholes.
The rules were set early, and these were all listed on the list of goods that were refused to be traded.
Yulong Cave Mansion is not an ordinary natural environment, but his cave mansion, and also his private garden (vegetable garden).
This place is not big, it is protected by the system, and he controls it, so he doesn't need these animals to maintain ecological balance.
The greenhouse in the previous life also wanted to reject all interference from animals and plants outside. At most, he could get some bees to pollinate - artificial pollination is really a huge amount of labor.
Besides, the crops in the cave are not restricted to "human exclusive", and animals can still benefit from eating them.
Gu Ke would be stupid to let those messy things in.
Even if these animals were brought into the cave, the parasites, eggs, etc. inside and outside the body were not on the "entry" list, and they were automatically cleaned up when they entered the cave.
The messy animals were left over at the livestock farm, and only two boxes of bees were temporarily placed in the fairy field.
The fairy field has the ability to automatically pollinate, but Gu Ke wanted to taste what the honey in the fairy field would taste like.
Now only here are there flowers every day for them to collect honey.
And when spring comes, they will have to show their skills and pollinate all the plants outside the fairy field.
In a sense, his cave is a greenhouse. Artificial pollination is not as time-saving and labor-saving as the diligent little bees.
A small amount of earthworms are put into the fairy field for individual cultivation.
Most of them are put into ordinary land and let them reproduce on their own.
Xiaoman saw two chubby little dogs, one yellow and one black, and excitedly wanted to take them to Yulong Peak.
As a result, she was ruthlessly rejected by Sister Bai, and gave her a choice between two options: "Either let them stay at the bottom of the peak, or you stay at the bottom of the peak with the two dogs."
Xiaoman could only choose the first one.
Gu Ke did not help her this time.
There are only bedrooms, study rooms, sheds, and the fairy field of Zizhulin on Yulong Peak, which is a good place to sleep and practice.
The rest of the buildings and fairy fields are at the bottom of Yulong Peak, which is convenient for work.
Xiaoman only sleeps and practices martial arts on the peak every day. There are plenty of places to play at the bottom of the mountain, and it is really unnecessary to bring dogs to the peak.
Just like he had dogs in his previous life, but he didn't like dogs to go on the bed and sofa.
With Bai Suqing's words, he also designated Yulong Peak as a forbidden area for most animals, except bees and earthworms.
After doing these things, Gu Ke began to think about how to spend the soul source in his hand.
In one night in Qianquan City, not only did he harvest a large number of animals, but he also made a lot of money because of the monster group attacking the city.
There were more than 300 monster corpses brought back by Bai Suqing alone, including 13 monster generals, with an average of about 100 soul sources, a total of 1283 units of soul source.
There were more than 300 monster soldiers and small monsters left, with an average of more than 10 units of soul source, a total of 4821 units of soul source.
Total: 6104 units of soul source.
Even though he had high expectations for directional projection, Gu Ke still had to be surprised by this harvest.
However, there was no system building that could be activated in the cave mansion. I don't know if it was gone or there was not enough soul source.
He was too uncertain.
Today's cave mansion has all kinds of functions from living to working to practicing martial arts, and it seems that there is nothing missing.
If you want to know if there are new buildings, one is when the soul source reaches the activation value, and the other is the New Year event, which appears randomly and you can also know the conditions for opening.
One requires your own efforts, and the other depends on luck. Neither can be rushed, so I simply don't go into it.
Nowadays, most of the system buildings in the valley are level 2. Gu Ke plans to upgrade them all to level 5-except for the livestock farm.
The original price of each system building such as the bedroom and study room from level 2 to level 5 is 560 soul sources.
The workshop and processing workshop are more expensive, each costing 2240 soul sources.
The bamboo house is 40% off, and the actual cost is 3100+ soul sources.
With more than 3,000 soul sources left, you can first upgrade the roadside stall to level 6, then harvest some soul sources, and upgrade the livestock farm to level 1.
However, this collective upgrade, only the standard bamboo houses made of purple emperor ice heart bamboo will cost more than 100.
Gu Ke will make three or five houses a day, which will take more than a month.
This does not take into account the consumption of raw materials. The growth rate of Purple Emperor Ice Heart Bamboo is much slower than that of ordinary purple bamboo.
Then it is imperative to increase the number of fairy fields.
When Miss Qin was here, the fairy fields produced more than enough food.
He did not want to take up too much of their time for martial arts training, so he did not add new fairy fields.
After they left, the output of the fairy fields increased wildly.
He wanted to save soul sources to build a level 5 roadside stall, but he did not even build a livestock farm, let alone a fairy field.
Now? Haha, a few hundred soul sources are nothing!
Let me see, the exclusive fertilizer in the warehouse should be enough for a 50% discount. He first confirmed that there were more than 300 exclusive fertilizers, and then he waved his hand and placed the No. 5 and No. 6 fairy fields between the buildings at the foot of the mountain and the foot of the peak.
The original price of No. 5 fairy field was 160, and No. 6 fairy field was 320, totaling 480 units of soul source.
Each exclusive fertilizer of the fairy field can reduce the consumption of 1 unit of soul source, up to 50%.
No. 5 and No. 6 fairy fields consumed 240 exclusive fertilizers and 240 units of soul source.
The two fairy fields are divided by the road leading to Yulong Peak and surrounded by the west side of the building complex at the foot of the mountain.
As the saying goes, it is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo.
After the purple emperor ice heart bamboo is transplanted, it will fill the No. 5 and No. 6 fairy fields in a few months, and the scenery of the building complex at the foot of the mountain will be three times better.
It cannot be compared with the bamboo forest that Sister Bai loves the most on the peak, but it is beautiful enough for Gu Ke.
Every time I cut bamboo in the purple bamboo forest on the peak, I can't even mention Sister Bai's helpless look.
In the future, the purple bamboo forest on the peak can be kept to see if better varieties and better quality bamboo can be grown.
Even if it can't be grown, the characteristics of the old purple emperor ice heart bamboo are not comparable to new bamboo, so it's good to keep more.
The two fairy fields were completed and Xiaoman, who was looking after the ingredients at the livestock farm, noticed it and came through the air with a yellow dog.
Before the person landed, cheers rang out: "Old Gu, you've opened a new fairy field again. What delicious food are you going to grow this time?"
Gu Ke looked at the unfortunate little yellow dog being held in the air, trembling all over, and his lower body seemed to be dripping with water, but he was scared to pee by the "high-altitude bungee jumping" just now.
This dog has short yellow hair, pointed ears, a long snout, and limbs that are neither long nor short.
Xiaoman swore that this dog must have the blood of a mountain dog and is a good dog.
Now it seems that the mountain dog bloodline cannot solve the problem of fear of heights.
He used his divine thoughts to comfort the poor little yellow dog so that it would not be frightened and sick, and then he said to Xiaoman and Xiaoping'er who followed closely behind her: "Transplant all the bamboos, and our houses should also be upgraded."
When Xiaoman heard it, she nodded repeatedly: "Then the kitchen must be upgraded first, I will go to dig bamboos. Little sister, let's go."
With a whoosh, she rushed to Yulong Peak.
Gu Ke shook his head speechlessly and turned to look at Xiaoping'er.
She was also holding a small black dog in her arms, but she buried its head in her arms.
Therefore, it did not witness the high-altitude bungee jumping with its own eyes, so it would not be scared.
This little dog is chubby, like a ball.
It has short black hair all over its body, only some white hair on its chest, and a slightly short snout. At first glance, it looks like a little black bear spirit, a little silly.
Seeing him looking at it, Xiaoping'er smiled and put down the little "black bear spirit".
This guy immediately moved his four legs and pounced towards Gu Ke, wagging his tail happily.
Gu Ke rubbed the dog's head and looked up at the peak: "Okay, she is being spanked by Sister Bai, you can go up and save her."
"Well, let Xiao Hei accompany you first." Xiao Ping'er smiled and flew away.
