Chapter 532
Just when Zhang An was about to drive his deer home, Zhang Jianwen stopped them all.
"You guys don't want to go home yet. I made you stand on the post for a long time in the afternoon, so you should go to my place for a drink."
Originally, everyone came here just to help drive the deer. , it doesn’t take much time.
But who would have imagined that there would be so many people following the deer, so the few of them could only work as security guards in the deer park for an afternoon.
Although everyone thought it was nothing, Zhang Jianwen himself would feel bad if he didn't treat everyone to a drink.
At Zhang Ping's house in the evening, everyone was eating, drinking and chatting animatedly.
The topic is all about the deer raised in the village, and everyone is full of hope for them.
After all, everyone in the village is waiting for Luyuan to make a profit, and then everyone can share the money.
“By the way, Zhang An, don’t drive those deer back home just yet. Let Dahua lead the deer in the deer park to get familiar with them for a few days.”
Today Zhang Jianwen and others also saw that these deer are completely different with heads and without heads.
Moreover, the deer in the village were caught from the mountains. They are not as easy to raise as domestic deer that have been raised for several generations. They also have obvious mountain and forest habits.
You must know that many years ago, Chang Qing had already tried to catch some deer from the mountains and raise them, but the final result was a failure.
Although no one knew much about raising deer at that time, they took care of them just like raising livestock at home.
But the most fundamental reason is that the first generation of wild deer were too difficult to tame.
Although Zhang Jianwen was still young at that time, he still remembered clearly that a dozen deer were caught in the village at that time. As a result, when they were raised, many of the deer did not eat or drink, and they whined and thought every day. Escape.
In the end, only a few can be fed, and the others basically stop eating or die in depression.
The group of deer caught in the village last year did not have the same problems as before. After keeping them at Zhang An's house for such a period of time, Zhang Jianwen often went over to take a look. They were exactly the same as those he tried to domesticate many years ago. There are two different looks.
The only difference is that there are more big flowers from the Zhang An family, but I didn’t expect it to be so much easier.
And he discovered that during the time they were kept at Zhang An's house, many fawns that were previously very thin were now much healthier.
Deer are never fat, but Zhang Jianwen can clearly feel that they have gained a lot of meat.
So he thought of discussing with Zhang An to continue letting Dahua lead the deer in the deer park.
Otherwise, he would be worried that if Dahua was gone, the deer would start to miss home again in a few days and would not be tamed.
That kind of result was not what he wanted to see, because the village had already spent a lot of money on raising deer.
And through today, Zhang Jianwen also discovered that the dozen or so deer in the village alone were still too few and not attractive enough.
With the addition of Zhang An's group, the number has more than doubled, which creates a different visual effect for those who come to see the deer.
"That's no problem, but I have to trouble the old masters to put more thought into taking care of it."
Zhang An readily agreed, and during this time, the fruit trees in the orchard have already begun to bear fruit. , even if he rushes back home, he will not let the deer out.
Because of the big flower, it will take other deer in the family to eat the leaves and fruits on the trees.
So if they rush back, they will be confined at home, so it’s okay for them to stay in the deer park for a while.
"After we get familiar with the herd of deer in our village, we will do the same as the Zhang An family and bring back some fragrant deer to raise. Those things are the golden hens that lay golden eggs."
Looking at it. Now that the domestication of the deer herd has stabilized, everyone begins to look at Shu, and their eyes shift from the deer herd to the fragrant deer.
After all, everyone knows that although deer antlers are expensive, there is still a certain gap between them and musk.
“I advise everyone to think about this. It is currently impossible to achieve unless you buy artificially bred second-generation cubs, because this thing cannot be compared to grass deer. That guy is now at the ancestor level. Although I have a few animals at home, they are all listed under the name of the rescue station. If you want to eat national food, you can try it.”
Looking at it, I drank a little. Some of the people who were drinking were eager to go to the mountains to catch some fragrant deer, but Zhang An couldn't bear to attack them.
The forest musk deer has appeared on the protection list in the past few years, but the above people have not paid enough attention to it, and there are many gray markets below.
But in recent years, the above-mentioned attention on this area has been increasing year by year.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhu Yuliang suggested Zhang An to come back with such a brand.
And this is when he discovered that the animals raised by Zhang An's family are very close to people, unlike other people who are purely for profit.
So the plan of these people in the village to catch a few native fragrant deer and tame it is destined to be a flower that cannot bloom.
"Hey, is this thing so powerful? Let's forget it."
After hearing Zhang An's words, several people seemed to have been poured cold water on them. They immediately shivered and shook their heads quickly. He shook his head and gave up the idea.
This is just a villain who talks in front of his own people in the village and has no special intentions.
Otherwise, if these words were spread, it would not be impossible for him to be taken back for interrogation for several days without mentioning that he was going to eat national food.
When Zhang An went out from Zhang Jianwen's house, it was already dark outside.
The other people were all a little drunk and were swaying around when walking. Only Zhang An acted like a fine person.
"Xiao An, your two big cats haven't been fed yet, so we don't dare to go. We can only wait for you to come back. I have taken out the meat and defrosted it in advance. You can just feed it directly. ”
As soon as Zhang An returned home, Wang Fang opened his mouth to remind him.
Although she was very opposed to Zhang An keeping two leopards at home before, but now that she has agreed, she will be more considerate.
Because she felt that Zhang An brought this thing back from the Forestry Bureau and it was a task given to Zhang An by the unit, so she must take good care of it.
After all, the job that Zhang An picked up from the Forestry Bureau was already a great event for the old Zhang family.
So no matter what, Zhang An must complete the tasks assigned by the Forestry Bureau and cannot lose this leisurely and honorable job.
“Okay, Mom, I understand.”
Wang Fang didn’t say anything, Zhang An himself had almost forgotten about it.
He came to the kitchen and took two pieces of thawed pork and prepared to go into the big circle.
Although the meat has been frozen and not as delicious as fresh, the two leopards are not picky now.
After all, they have experienced it in the mountains for a while, and they can indeed have a full meal when they can catch prey. But in the mountains, even those at the top of the food chain cannot catch prey every day, so they must be hungry sometimes. If they are unlucky, they may be hungry for several days in a row.
So after being severely beaten by reality, they are very satisfied as long as they have something to eat, and there is no way to pick and choose.
When they arrived at the circle, Zhang An found that after the deer herd was removed, the circle was much quieter and emptyer than before.
Because in the past, every time Zhang An came to the pen, whether it was sheep or deer, he would stand up and walk to the edge of the fence, waiting for Zhang An to feed them fodder.
When I came here today, there were only the sheep in the sheepfold with their heads stretched out, waiting for Zhang An. You could immediately feel the obvious difference.
Zhang An ignored the eagerly awaiting flock of sheep and opened the door of the leopard room first and threw the meat into the two leopards.
During this period, the two big cats lived very comfortably in Zhang An's house. In the first few days after arriving, they were still standing alert. Now they don't care about anything and just lie down on the ground with their eyes closed to take a nap after eating. .
It wasn't until Zhang An opened the enclosure door that they got up from the ground.
After raising them for so many days, the original injured areas of the two big guys have healed, but some places on the newly grown tender skin are still bare and hairless, and they look like they were chewed by dogs.
Those places were hit by iron sand and steel balls. It is estimated that hair will not grow in a short time.
After raising it for a while, Zhang An discovered that the one with the injured chest seemed to be his brother, and the other one should be his younger brother.
Because Zhang An discovered that ever since the injured leopard healed, it had been suppressing the other leopard, and the other leopard did not rebel and was very obedient to discipline.
Because Zhang An gave them two names, the elder brother was called Da Mao, and the younger brother was called Er Mao.
In addition to the fact that the big cat is slightly larger than the second cat in terms of body size, there is another difference.
On the big cat’s forehead, there are two money spots on the left and right sides of the center of the eyebrow, which looks very symmetrical.
The second cat is different. It has two spots on the left side of its eyebrows and only one spot on the right side.
After closing the leopard room, Zhang Ancai took some fodder from the haystack and put it into the sheepfold.
Horses are not fat without night grass, and the same is true for sheep.
The few sheep I bought at the beginning have now grown to more than 30 sheep.
This is because from time to time, a sheep in the flock no longer wants to live, and Zhang An catches it to satisfy its greed.
As for the four little guys brought back by the Huatou family by air, they had been confirmed to be antelopes before, but Zhang An never figured out where the antelopes were from.
The few little ones that were just like puppies at the beginning have now become adult antelopes. They are much taller than the family's sheep, but still shorter than the deer.
And they have begun to multiply their own group. Now there are more than ten antelopes in Zhang An's family.
It was still the time when the cubs were being given birth. Zhang An took advantage of the fact that the family was not paying attention and caught some cubs and put them into the space, otherwise there would be more.
Zhang An raised them not for meat like the sheep at home, but because of the antelope horns on their heads.
This thing is a good thing for calming wind and spasm, calming the liver and subduing yang, clearing the liver and improving eyesight, clearing away heat and detoxifying. It can have a life-saving effect at critical moments.
But as the number of antelopes decreases in the future, there will be fewer and fewer of these things. If you go to the pharmacy to buy it yourself, it is very easy to buy fakes.
So since Dahua and the others worked hard to catch the little antelopes, Zhang An planned to keep them so that they could easily get the antelope horns in the future.
Antelope horns are just like deer antlers. As long as the foundation is not damaged, they will continue to grow after being removed.
It’s just that the regeneration time will be relatively long, so the price of this thing is very expensive, even if it is artificially bred in large quantities in the future, it will not be cheap.
Time flies so fast, it is no longer as difficult as before, and May is soon here.
Although there is only one day off on May Day this year, this day is Planet Six. If you include Sunday, it will be a pleasant weekend.
And as the weather gets hotter and hotter, there are more and more tourists in Changqing Village.
After such a long time, the grass seeds planted in the open-air dam have grown all over the ground and are very lush.
Therefore, the deer are also put in the dam during the day, allowing them to move freely.
So Lu Park also began to shine under everyone's eyes, and the stands were full of people every day.
Dahua is still staying in the Deer Park, as if it is a good place. It has become a little happy here and does not miss Shu.
On May Day, Zhang Jianwen decided to open a project that allows tourists to feed deer by themselves.
The premise is that the grass fed to the deer must be sold in the deer park, so the deer park also opened a separate window for selling grass.
However, although it is said to be for sale, the price is not expensive. A handful of very crisp and tender grass only costs 50 cents, and one cent can feed a whole family.
Originally, everyone thought that not many people would spend money to buy a handful of grass.
But the result shocked everyone in the village. There was a long queue in front of the window where the grass was sold, all of them were tourists waiting to sell grass.
Because fifty cents is really not much for these tourists who come out to play, it is equivalent to buying a snack for their own children.
The most important thing is that the sika deer in the deer park are so cute. Many people have never fed them with their own hands. I heard that you only need to spend 50 cents to buy a handful of grass to experience it. Who can resist this?
There are two reasons for this kind of thing. As long as someone takes the lead, others will feel that if they don't experience it, they will be missing something.
Especially for many children, when they watch others feeding the sika deer, they can touch it with their own hands, and suddenly they can’t walk, and they keep asking their family members to buy it.
In this era, many children in families are only children, especially in urban families. The young masters and princesses have all spoken out, and the adults naturally line up to buy grass.
Originally, Zhang Jianwen asked Wu Qingzong and the others to prepare a lot of grass, but he didn't expect that half of the inventory was gone in just one morning, and the rest could only last one afternoon.
So he called the children in the village together and held a small meeting. The theme was to let these dolls mow the grass, and then he paid for it.
And the price offered by Zhang Jianwen was not low, a full basket of two yuan, which made the children very excited. After all, they could not get a dime to cut the grass at home.
So the doll army rushed home, carrying their baskets on their backs, and began to charge into the fields.
Not long after, baskets of grass began to be transported to the deer park.
At the end of the day, some diligent children actually earned more than ten yuan, which made many adults excited.
