I became a farmer in the apocalypse.
Chapter 162 The Cow and Its Mother
Just as Lin An described, it was like a small house, and the whole tree seemed to be glowing. The banana peels, made of some unknown substance, emitted a faint, shimmering yellow light. Just like its name, each banana resembled a tiny moon.
[Congratulations! You have now added the world's first evolved plant to your collection. Have you ever seen such a beautiful banana tree?]
Jiang Li had never seen one before, and it was quite beautiful. She wished she could grow it too, so she could place it on a farm. It would not only be a fruit tree but also a beautiful sight, and it would even glow at night, making it absolutely gorgeous.
[The reward for the encyclopedia entry [Banana Seedlings x10] has been distributed!]
[Bonus reward for you [the calf and its mother] has been sent to the barn. Please check.]
Jiang Li: "?"
Jiang Li didn't react for a moment until she suddenly heard "moo~moo~moo" coming from the livestock shed.
"What's making that noise?" Lin An asked, puzzled.
Following the sound, they found two black and white cows, one large and one small, standing in Jiang Li's livestock shed.
"When did you get your dairy cows?" Lin An asked, puzzled.
Jiang Li: "Just now."
At this moment, the calf and its mother looked at Jiang Li and Lin An with their clear, big eyes.
Lin An: "What do they eat? Do they eat straw?"
Jiang Li went over to check on the calf, which looked to be about a month old. In Jiang Li's experience, this was the same breed of cow as the Holstein cow in her ranch before the apocalypse, and it was definitely the king of milk production.
The calf's mother gave birth a month ago, indicating that she is currently in her lactation period.
After giving birth, a cow will have a lactation period of up to ten months. If well cared for, the daily milk production can be as high as 30-40 liters. A calf only needs to drink 5-6 liters of milk a day, and the excess milk can be shared with people.
It seems that the baby cow the system sent is secondary; the main thing is to send its mother over.
Jiang Li was delighted. She looked at Lin An and smiled, "We'll probably have an endless supply of milk from now on."
Lin An's eyes widened. "Really?"
Jiang Li opened the system store and found bagged hay seeds, which were cheaper than rice seeds. A bag of hay seeds only cost 2 gold coins and contained 10 kilograms.
Jiang Li bought a bag of them and will set up a small pasture for them tomorrow.
Before the apocalypse, a high-yield dairy cow needed at least two or three acres of pasture to feed it. Jiang Li planned to get them one acre first, because she could make the pasture grow quickly so they wouldn't go hungry.
Jiang Li brought over the haystacks she had stored earlier, spread them out, and first laid out a sleeping place for them.
Zhu Cuihua also arrived, looking curiously at the two cows in the cowshed.
It's a tiny pig weighing 8.1 pounds, compared to a 1000-pound cow. They're simply not in the same league. It's as small as an ant, the kind that could be trampled to death by the cow if it's not careful.
Jiang Li has given up on expecting Zhu Cuihua to gain weight; she feels that eating beef is probably a more reliable option than eating pork.
After preparing the sleeping area for the calf and its mother, Jiang Li closed the cow pen and brought Zhu Cuihua out to prevent the useless little thing from being trampled to death by the cow.
Back at the beverage shop, Jiang Tang made a large cup of chilled apple slices for everyone.
"Apple juice has low nutritional value."
In the apocalypse, no one would waste fruit like that. Yesterday, Jiang Tang made grape iced tea while keeping as much fruit pulp as possible, so there's even less need to juice apples.
Jiang Tang handed the first glass to Lin An, saying, "Weren't you just asking for an apple? Try this. It has apple slices in it, and also apple-flavored sweet juice."
Lin An took it, opened the lid, and found that it was covered with a layer of crushed ice, and the whole cup felt icy cold to the touch.
I picked up a slice of apple with a toothpick and ate it; it was delicious, and the ice water inside was also very sweet.
I like this way of eating.
Jiang Li also took a cup and sat under the apple tree to eat.
"I feel like something's missing here."
Lin An also sat down, and the two of them sat directly on the lawn.
"We're missing a small table and stools," Jiang Li said.
The beverage shops are now taking shape, but which beverage shop doesn't have a few tables and chairs in front of it?
I'll make arrangements tonight.
"By the way, that batch of bananas was a reward for providing you with the information, and you'll also receive 50,000 points directly."
Jiang Li nodded. "Understood."
Jiang Tang went to the rice paddy and found Chen Ye, who was busy working, and gave him a glass of iced apple juice. "Take a break and have some apple juice."
Chen Ye took the iced apple, knowing it had been picked from the apple tree next to the beverage shop.
When he arrived this morning, he saw that the apple tree had grown to four meters tall, with apples that were a mix of green and red, and all of them were very large.
Sitting on the edge of the field, I opened the cup and ate the apple slices. They were icy cold, as if they weren't hot at all.
He really enjoys working here. The boss is great, the boss's family is great, and he eats really well every day.
Hearing Qiao Wu say that she was a long-term worker and would stay on the farm indefinitely, and considering that he was just a temporary worker, and that perhaps tomorrow when the farm wasn't busy, Boss Jiang wouldn't want him anymore, he wished he could become a long-term worker like Qiao Wu.
Qiao Wu was still tending to her grapes in the field. She also buried the 10 pumpkin seeds that Jiang Li had given her. A pumpkin the size of an apple sprouted from the ground, and it was still green.
"Time to eat dumplings." Jiang Yan came out of the safe house, first bringing out a square table, then a large pot of cooked dumplings.
Qiao Wu was startled when she heard the voice.
Dumplings?
She went over to take a look and exclaimed, "Why are we having dumplings for lunch today?"
Jiang Yan: "Who knows?"
He only did it because Jiang Li told him to. When Jiang Li said he wanted dumplings, he naturally made dumplings. He even had to send a message to the landlords' group at the last minute to find someone to trade for the pork with grapes.
Seeing his reaction, Qiao Wu understood immediately, and felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Some people might think she's superfluous and only let her drink the dumpling soup when eating dumplings, but others might cook a whole meal of dumplings just because of something she said.
I experienced things with Jiang Li that I had never experienced with my family.
Jiang Li went to the construction site where Ye Hongjun and Ye Tong were working.
The framework between tools is beginning to take shape.
"Come and have lunch first," Jiang Li said. "We're having dumplings for lunch today."
We promised to cover their lunches, so of course we'll keep our word.
Ye Tong is someone who can't hide her feelings; her eyes lit up as soon as she heard about eating dumplings!
Finally, he could eat something good. He knew that working for Sister Jiang would definitely bring him good food! That's why he was so proactive and enthusiastic in the first place.
