Chapter 122 Shaving the Wool

Rock charged the electric saw in the camp, carried a bucket and walked to the Jingkong River.

hiss!

The wound on his shoulder stuck to the fabric, and when he took off his shirt, the skin tore open again, causing him to gasp in pain.

After Rock took off all his clothes, he jumped into the river with a plop.

The water temperature in summer was very comfortable. The cool river water washed away the blood, sweat and stains on Rock's body, allowing him to regain some strength.

After soaking in the river for a while, Rock sat on the bank, used a grass stem to pop the blisters on his hands, and then returned to the camp carrying a bucket of water.

During the whole day of transportation work today, his sheep were working very hard.

These low-strength lambs are now showing signs of collapse, and Rock has to take care of them in time to recover them from their weak state.

If he left it alone, the sheep would probably get sick.

At this time, Bay Leaf and Heluga had returned with a large amount of birch bark. Rock put the birch bark into the pot, filled it with water, sprinkled a handful of salt into it, and cooked a pot of simplified energy drinks”.

After the water was boiled, he and the three elves also drank a bowl each, and then carried a large bucket full of birch bark water to feed the thirty Meili sheep one by one.

After drinking water, the Meili sheep regained some strength and began to eat grass.

Rock felt relieved when he saw that all the Meli sheep stood up from the ground after drinking the birch bark water.

After taking care of these Meili sheep, Rock began to prepare dinner for himself and the elves.

He now fully understands how difficult it is to live in the wasteland. It can be said that he worked from morning to night, and everything must be done.

At night, tired Rock did not watch a movie with the elves, but soaked his feet in hot water and went to bed early.

A dreamless night.

When he woke up the next day, as Rock expected, his whole body began to ache.

He is very experienced in this situation. It is caused by high-load exercise the day before, and it will return to normal in a few days.

But I can no longer work this morning.

Abo, please stretch it for me.

Stretching can help muscles relax and speed up blood circulation. Rock had already stretched before going to bed last night.

Hearing Rock's call, the Arbo monster came to his side, wrapped him up skillfully, squeezed slowly, and pulled his muscles and ligaments.

After letting Abowei stretch for help, Rock felt a lot more relaxed.

But he couldn't do heavy physical labor for the time being in the morning, so he planned to use this time to shear the wool of the Meli sheep.

Normally, the hair of Meili sheep is not cut in winter and summer.

In winter, it is because the wool sheep need thick hair to keep out the cold, while in summer, it is simply because the hair quality of the wool in this period is very low.

The wool of the Meili sheep grows very quickly, and will fall off and re-grow rapidly in the hot summer, making the hair that grows out very fragile and easy to break.

Therefore, the normal pastures that raise Meili sheep are sheared in three months in spring and three months in autumn.

The wool of Bail sheep is usually sheared once every two weeks. A Bail sheep of normal size can shear 500 grams of wool each time, and can produce six kilograms of wool a year.

The purchase price of Meili wool is only 30 yuan per kilogram. If you want to make money, you can only carry out large-scale breeding and hire people to help shear the sheep.

Although Rock's territory is large, the wild elves in it are also relatively high-level and do not fully meet the conditions for large-scale breeding of Meli sheep.

However, these problems are not unsolvable. Rock chose to introduce a group of Meili sheep first, not only because Meili sheep are docile and suitable for novices, but also because Meili sheep can indeed create good profits.

He already has some long-term plans and his own ideas for the subsequent breeding of Meli sheep.

Of course, that's all for later. Now we need to take good care of the thirty Meili sheep.

According to Rock's observation, the reason why the Meili sheep lay motionless on the ground yesterday was not only due to fatigue from work, but also had a lot to do with overheating.

The wool covering their bodies prevents the heat generated in their bodies from being dissipated in a timely manner, leading to symptoms of listlessness and excessive exhaustion.

So Roark planned to shear the wool of the Bili sheep so that they would feel better while working.

Rock put on a pair of rubber gloves given to him by Pierlu, grabbed a sheep from the flock, picked up an electric clipper and shaved its wool.

Mea~

Melia sheep do not always like their own hair. In summer, they dislike the thick wool.

After seeing Roark starting to shear the sheep of his companions, the Meili sheep all came together one by one.

They can all cut it, one by one.

The sheep in Rock's hand was very docile, standing quietly and letting him shave it with a clipper.

It's just that the brain is not very honest and always sticks out to eat grass.

cymbal

The electric clipper passed across the hind legs of the Meili sheep, shaving off a large ball of light yellow wool.

Rock followed the order from back to front, holding onto the dark blue skin of the Meli sheep, and shaved off all the hair on it.

The shaved Meri sheep are smaller in size, with only a thin layer of hair less than one centimeter long.

Baa baa~

It can be seen that the Meili sheep was very happy after the hair on its body was shaved, and it jumped to the side to eat grass.

The remaining Meili sheep also spontaneously lined up in front of Roque.

Compared with other jobs, Rock feels that shaving is very relaxing. After shaving three Meili sheep, he became proficient in his movements.

Soon the thirty Meili sheep all became slender, leaving only a curl of hair on their heads.

Without the thick wool, they shook their bodies comfortably and felt the direct contact between the air and their skin, showing even more vitality than usual.

The shaved wool Rock was not thrown away, but kept.

Although these wools do not sell for much money, they can be made into felts and used in many places.

After resting for a whole morning, Rock felt that he and the Meili sheep had recovered a lot, so he started cutting down trees again.

At the current rate, it would take Rock about six days to collect enough logs for a log pile.

It would take a month to build four stacks of wood, and he had to collect and process enough wood during the summer.

In this case, by the beginning of next spring, the wood will be basically dry and just ready to start building a house.

If Rock hadn't stocked up on lumber this summer, he would have had to wait until next fall to build the house, and by then there would be a risk of insufficient construction time.

This is why Rock must drag his tired body and keep working.

After all, every extra day of delay may lead to more delays in subsequent work.

Buzz buzz

Rock, wearing a pair of sunglasses, was holding a chainsaw and cutting spruce branches quickly.

With yesterday's experience, he became much more proficient in handling wood.

Meili Sheep's condition improved a lot after shaving her wool, and she no longer fell down tired after today's work.

After surviving the most difficult first day, the wood harvesting work was proceeding smoothly.
