"Just put the things in the yard first, I'll unpack them myself later." He Yuzhu opened the gate and gestured for the group to unload the goods into the yard.

The group worked in pairs and soon unloaded all the goods in the yard.

After unloading the goods, the four men turned and left.

After the deliveryman had gone far away, He Yuzhu closed the door and then had time to carefully examine the animals placed on the ground.

He discovered that the mouths of all the animals were bound with ropes, which explained why he hadn't heard a single cry earlier.

He Yuzhu looked up at the sky and realized it was getting late, so he quickly gathered all the animals into the grassland of the blessed land.

After collecting the animals, he picked up a kitchen knife and followed them into the grotto. He first cut the ropes binding the animals' mouths, and then used the kitchen knife to untie the ropes binding their bodies.

As soon as the rope was loosened, the animals immediately stood up and ran off into the distance.

Watching the animals scatter and flee, He Yuzhu thought to himself: With these three kinds of animals, once the breeding scale expands, we will never have to worry about meat again.

Now, the blessed land is home to pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks, and the water is teeming with grass carp, crucian carp, common carp, loach, river shrimp, eels, catfish, and turtles.

With the addition of the sika deer, roe deer, and gazelles we bought this time, the variety of meat we have is already quite abundant.

However, we still need to add some more oxen and donkeys. After all, although I am as strong as an ox, I can't really treat myself like livestock.

Time flew by and it was the end of 1947 when He Yuzhu's two ewes gave birth to six lambs.

During his vacation, he bought a heifer, ten female donkeys and three male donkeys from the market.

To prevent inbreeding among the animals in the grotto, he specially added five roosters, five hens, three rams, three ewes, five boar piglets, and ten sow piglets.

After the ewe gave birth, goat milk was added to He Yuzhu's diet.

Perhaps because of the special environment of this blessed land, the goat milk produced had no goaty smell at all.

At first, he was worried that drinking goat milk would leave him with a goaty smell, but to his surprise, the goat milk not only had no odor, but after drinking it for a long time, his skin became more and more delicate and smooth.

After entering puberty, He Yuzhu's appearance gradually changed.

He Yuzhu in the TV series was played by He Bing, but the current man looks nothing like He Bing. The only thing they have in common is that they both have double eyelids.

He felt that he was starting to look more and more like Xu Lingjun from "The Herdsman," with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a very strong facial profile.

After more than a year of meticulous management by He Yuzhu, the once barren land in Dongtianfudi is now full of greenery.

The foxtail grass he had sown earlier produced seeds in just two or three months. With his help, these seeds quickly multiplied and grew in the blessed land, and the entire wasteland was soon covered with green grass.

On those two hills specifically used for planting bamboo, the newly sprouted bamboo seedlings have already grown to over a meter tall.

He Yuzhu predicts that it will take another two or three years before these bamboos enter their peak growth period and begin to sprout bamboo shoots in large quantities.

On another mountain, camellia trees, tea trees, orange trees, cypress trees, and eucommia trees are all growing lushly, presenting a vibrant scene.
