Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

The sound is like a whistle, and the attack position is in the back half of the enemy, clustered in groups.

The shape is like a wolf and a fox.

Mu Xi's mind turned around and he had the result.

"It's a jackal."

The jackal of the wolf, tiger and leopard.

I think it's so beautiful

Mu Xi looked at the blood stains on Xue Bing's body and said, "This is not entirely Xue Bing's. It may be that these two attacked a lone jackal and were surrounded by a group of jackals."

You may not lose in a duel, but there are about ten of them.

Zhao Yeqing was so angry that he wanted to beat these two little leopards, and he dared not provoke them at all.

Fortunately, the two are small leopards and are faster than jackals, otherwise they would have to be found outside today.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the snow cake, Zhao Yeqing turned around, grabbed the paste, and patted it lightly on the butt.

The two of them waited until almost five o'clock, when it was almost dawn, and then went to bed to catch up on their sleep after confirming that there was no danger.

The little leopard has a very strong recovery ability, and most of its wounds were healed in just two or three days.

Zhao Yeqing has hardly gone out in the past few days. Except for going out to replenish the water for the pasture, he has stayed at home and watched every day.

The jackal is a smart, cunning and united animal, which combines most of the advantages of the wolf and the fox. She is afraid that if she is not at home, the family will be ruined.

Mu Xi has been very careful when going out recently. Whenever he goes a little far away from home, he always carries a gun.

Because he was worried that Zhao Yeqing would be alone at home, Mu Xi would not go out for more than an hour at a time.

It took two or three days to gradually transport back the mud used to make red bricks.

One brick mold is still missing.

Mu Xi used the remaining wood to carve one.

Zhao Yeqing dug a hole in the middle of the red mud pile, mixed water into it, and stirred it with a wooden stick for a while.

After the ratio of water and soil was adjusted, Zhao Yeqing took off his shoes and stepped on it to fully mix the water and soil.

The mud mixed with mountain springs was ice cold, and the wonderful touch made her feel goosebumps as soon as she stepped on it.

If she had to choose a job in the summer, she would choose and Niba without hesitation.

After the mud was mixed, Zhao Yeqing reluctantly put on his shoes and took the red brick mold to make bricks.

A rectangular mold with a hollow center and two handles on both sides for easy handling.

You only need to fill the red mud into the hollow rectangular hole in the middle, compact it and then remove it from the mold, and a brick is ready.

Red mud is sticky. Before use, Zhao Yeqing soaked the mold in water soaked in plant ash so that the red mud would not stick to the mold and make it difficult to release it.

When pouring the red bricks, Zhao Yeqing also sprinkled some plant ash on the ground, just like spreading flour when making pastry, to prevent the red bricks from sticking to the ground.

Mu Xi made another mold while Zhao Yeqing was making bricks. The two of them poured the mold together. After working on it for a whole day, the yard was covered with red mud bricks.

The red mud bricks need to be dried in the sun. First, dry one side, and then stand them up to dry. The red bricks can be dried in two days.

While waiting for the red bricks, Mu Xi dragged the cart out again.

There was one more thing they needed to do as soon as possible.

It's already November, and although the weather is still hot, we can't guarantee when it will get colder. We need to collect enough forage before it gets cold.

To make hay from pasture, it needs to be dried for a long time to ensure that all the moisture and small insects in the grass disappear, so that it can be best stored.

As well as being made into hay, they also plan to make silage.

Silage is much more palatable than hay.

After the pasture is fermented and turned into silage, it can maintain most of the original taste of the pasture, tender and juicy, with a slight acidity that makes the sheep appetizing. The more they eat, the stronger they will grow, and it is also easy to store.

According to the notes, it can be stored for more than two years.

But those were all previous notes. In recent years, the original owner had grown older and no longer made silage. He only used hay to raise sheep. The sheep did not gain much meat after the winter.

Although the two of them have little experience now, they are still young and strong. If there is a good method, they will always try it.

Silage fermentation takes more than a month, which is not a long time. They had no experience doing it for the first time, so in order to have a higher error tolerance, they made several packages in batches to try.

Originally, the pasture in the grass circle included brome glabra, which was suitable for silage.

The awnless brome has headed and gone to seed on its own, and now it has grown lushly into a large area, overflowing the grass circle.

Mu Xi used a sickle to cut from the edge to the middle. The middle ones were a bit old, while the outer ones were still in the earing stage and were relatively fresh.

Making silage requires forage with a higher sugar content. The principle is to ferment lactic acid bacteria.

Lactic acid bacteria plus brome.

Zhao Yeqing put down the notes in his hand.

Isn’t this the yogurt-flavored cereal that sheep eat?

Being angry is another day of living worse than an animal.

After Mu Xi pulled the forage back, he called Zhao Yeqing to come out and deal with it quickly.

It should be made when it is the freshest to ensure the moisture of the grass.

Making silage requires first chopping the grass.

Zhao Yeqing found a large guillotine from the tool shed and chopped the bundled grass under the guillotine.

Mu Xi grabbed a handful of chopped grass and squeezed it in his hand. It was moist but not dripping, which was the best condition.

There were many big blue and black bags in the hay house, and he put the chopped grass into them.

You have to stop when you have installed it for ten centimeters, and press down hard with your hands to squeeze out as much air as possible to make the grass inside become firmer.

According to descriptions in breeding books, large-scale silage is rolled back and forth by the wheels of large carts. They first tried to make a bag, but they could only press it as hard as they could with their hands.

Layer one layer after another until the bag is almost full, then seal the compressed grass.

The fermentation of lactic acid bacteria requires fermentation in an anaerobic environment. In anaerobic environment, all harmful bacteria will also die.

The fermentation temperature was below thirty-seven degrees. The two men carried the forage to a shady corner of the hay house where it would not be exposed to the sun and placed it.

The weather is hot now, and in about twenty days, this small bag of feed is probably almost ready for fermentation.

After two days of busy work, the silage was prepared and the red bricks were dried.

Today's red bricks can be used directly, but they are not very durable. It is best to calcine them once.

Mu Xi planned to build a stove over one meter high with red bricks, and then put the red bricks in and burn them, so that when the red bricks inside were being burned, the red bricks used to build the stove could also be burned.

Build the lower fire chamber layer first.

Three bricks are placed vertically to form a strip at the bottom, and two layers of bricks are used to thicken the top. In this way, a total of three strips are formed. After the top is capped, another identical layer is built above.

This way there are two parallel holes in the middle for putting firewood.

The upper part of the stove is relatively high and needs to be balanced.

Mu Xi took the unused soil from digging the toilet and septic tank, poured water on it, and mixed it into mud to fix the bricks.

This kind of mud is definitely not as strong as plant ash cement, but since the stove is built outdoors and used as a brick kiln, it is not that particular.
