Chapter 351: Raising Cows!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“All, cattle?”
When the Shi family heard Gu Qingming say that she wanted to raise cows, their foreheads bulged.
This child was getting more and more energetic.
“Baby, you want to raise cows? Why do you want to raise cows?” Grandma Gu asked in surprise.
Gu Qingming was speechless. She said, “Grandma, I’ve grown up. Don’t call me Baby anymore.”
She had corrected this form of address countless times.
Grandma Gu smiled and said, ‘Tm used to it.”
…..
Grandma Shi asked, “Ming’er, why do you suddenly want to raise cows?”
Gu Qingming said, “Our family has planted so many rice and vegetables. I heard that after the the grains are threshed, the stalks can be used to feed the cows. There are also those inedible vegetables and old leaves that can be used to feed the cows. 1 think these things might as well be used.”
When the Shi family heard this, they were a little speechless.
In the countryside, these things were not useless.
Straw could be used as organic fertilizer, crushed as chicken feed, fish feed, and vegetable leaves could be used to feed chickens, ducks, pigs, and geese.
After a moment of silence, Eldest Uncle asked, “How many cows do you want to raise?”
Gu Qingming asked, “Eldest Uncle, how many cows do you think I should raise?”
At this moment, Second Uncle calculated, “Fifty to sixty acres of straw, vegetables, and leaves, two seasons a year, and so on. Oh, Mingming, other than raising cows, what else do you want to raise? Pigs? ducks?”
Gu Qingming thought for a moment and said, “Second Uncle, do you think I should raise them?”
At that time, after chatting with Liu Limei, she suddenly thought of raising cows!
Second Uncle smiled and said, “In my opinion, we won’t raise them for the time being. After we buy the cows, we ll consider whether to raise other poultry.”
“I also think that this is better!” Eldest Uncle and Third Uncle agreed unanimously. “We have to approach this step by step! Whether it’s raising cows or pigs, we don’t have any experience. Therefore, we have to accumulate experience.”
Gu Qingming thought for a moment and said, “Alright, we ll listen to Uncle!”
“Then Mingming, how do you plan to raise the cows?” Eldest Uncle asked.
“Huh?” Gu Qingming was stunned again.
She only knew that she wanted to raise cows, but she really did not know how to raise them.
“Raising cows? Are you planning to raise them independently?” Eldest Uncle explained, “If you want to raise them independently, I’m afraid you’ll have to rent a large piece of wasteland or directly rent a mountain. Oh, Mingming, how many cows do you plan to raise?”
Gu Qingming thought for a moment and said, “Uncle, how many cows are suitable to raise now?”
“In my opinion, let’s try 50 cows first. Then, we ll slowly increase it!” Third Uncle said.
“I think this is feasible!”
The whole family agreed.
“If we re raising cows, we should develop the mountain. There’s not much wasteland. Moreover, it’s said to be a wasteland, and this land is planted by people. No one has planted that land. As for the mountaintop, that’s much better. As long as we surround the mountaintop, we can let the cows go straight to the mountain.” Grandpa suggested, “The cattle farm will be built on the mountaintop.”
“I think the mountaintop is much better than the wasteland,” Eldest Uncle agreed. “Mingming, what do you think?”
Gu Qingming, who knew nothing about this, smiled and said, “Then I’ll listen to Uncle and Grandpa. You guys are more experienced.”
Eldest Uncle nodded and said, “Alright, if you really want to raise cows, you have to find someone to buy cows from, build a cow farm, and buy a mountain. Most importantly, you have to buy enough cow food at the moment.”
“Are we buying calves or a bulls?” Third Uncle asked again.
“Calves!” Gu Qingming said decisively.
After raising calves and feeding them with spiritual spring water, they could nourish their muscles and meat would be even more tender.
“Alright, let’s raise calves!” Eldest Uncle said. “With more than fifty calves, we can only go to a large cattle company!”
Gu Qingming said, “Eldest Uncle, leave the buying of cows to me!”
It was difficult for Eldest Uncle and the rest to find a cattle company, but it was easier for her.
“Alright, then let’s prepare the cow farm and cow food!”
At night, Gu Qingming carried Little Orange into the space.
Little Orange was sleeping soundly with her mouth slightly open. After closing her eyes, she had a row of thick and dark eyelashes. They were pink and tender. She was simply adorable and beautiful.
As soon as Little Orange entered the space, the five adorable creatures surrounded her.
Kong Xingfan shouted with a serious expression, “You can’t lick Little Master. You’ll wake her up.”
The four little cuties whimpered and meowed, indicating that they knew.
Kong Xingfan said, “Shut up. If you make a sound, you will also wake Little Master up.”
The four little cuties lay on the ground, wagging their tails and fanning themselves. Their big round eyes were fixed on the little girl.
There was also a little elf hovering over her.
Gu Qingming was speechless. She felt that every time she entered the space, Little
Orange would become a rare animal that was admired.
Gu Qingming placed Little Orange in the crib and covered her with a small blanket. Then, she said to Kong Xingfan, “Come down. I have something to tell you!”
Kong Xingfan flew down and stood by the crib.
Still holding his cheek, he asked, “Master, is there a problem?”
Gu Qingming said, “I plan to raise cows!”
Kong Xingfan nodded and said, “Raising cows? That’s great!”
Gu Qingming said, “Previously, I had plans to set up a baby and child food company, but the time is not ripe yet. 1 haven’t prepared everything yet.”
Kong Xingfan nodded and said, “The things we grow are all washed by the spiritual spring water to remove the dross and leave behind the essence. They can be used to make infant food, especially supplementary food. That’s the most suitable. It can increase immunity and develop the development of the brain.
“Every baby is the future flower of the motherland and a strong pillar of future construction! I think it’s feasible to make baby food!”
Gu Qingming nodded and said, “I’m thinking about that! I feel that there’s really too little land contracted now.”
In the eyes of the villagers, 200 acres of land was a lot of land.
However, in the eyes of an ambitious person, 200 acres of land was really too little.
Kong Xingfan thought for a moment and said, “I think you’d better contract the land in Stoneback Village and the surrounding villages.”
Gu Qingming spread her hands and said, “I want to, but as you can see, it’s a little difficult for me to even rent these 200 acres of land, let alone a few thousand acres.” When Kong Xingfan heard this, he rolled his small eyes at her and said, “Are you stupid? Don’t you know how to cooperate with the government? I believe that as long as the government comes forward, not to mention a few thousand acres of land, even tens of thousands of acres of land shouldn’t be a problem.”
Gu Qingming thought for a moment. “That’s possible, but at the same time, we have to give the villagers enough benefits so they will not cause trouble!” “Build a farm!”
