Chapter 451 2 Why are the He family’s cows so obedient?

Qiao Ran was holding the branches and mulberry tree and was about to turn around when she saw water chestnuts and lotus leaves on the pond out of the corner of her eye, and her heart moved.

There was no fertile mud underneath the newly dug pond. Qiao Ran asked her second uncle and the others to leave a layer of mud because some fish, like loaches, like to burrow in the mud.

Logically speaking, if you plant lotus roots and water chestnuts in mud that is not fertile enough, the harvest will not be very good. However, who said that they have the golden finger of spiritual spring?

As long as there is a spiritual spring, what will be planted will not work well?

Qiao Ran thought that she would plant the mulberry trees in the next few days, and after finishing the spring planting, she would get some lotus roots and water chestnuts to plant outside.

There are so many things she wants to do, but fortunately she has the support of her family, so she doesn’t have to do everything herself.

After staying in the space for a while, guessing that the time was almost up, Qiao Ran left the space, carried a large bundle of mulberry trees out of the woods, and walked towards the fish pond.

Qiao Erhe, Qiao Sanhu, Zheng Huiniang and others were already waiting there. Seeing Qiao Ran carrying so many branches, they quickly stepped forward to help.

Qiao Erhe took the bundle of mulberry branches she was carrying: "Ran Ran, there are so many, why don't you ask us to help move them?"

"It's okay, it's not heavy."

She can even move big rocks, but this is just a bundle of branches a little thicker than her waist, and she can easily carry it back.

"You even dug up the tree?"

Qiao Sanhu took over a dozen mulberry trees with roots in her hands.

"Well, I'm thinking of planting a few trees with roots, so that I can use the mulberry leaves and don't have to go to the mountains to pick them often."

"That's right. If I had known we would go with you and wait for you at the bottom of the mountain."

Several people returned to the fish pond. Qiao Erhe and others looked at Qiao Ran, waiting for her to teach them how to plant mulberry trees. After all, they had planted crops, but not mulberry trees!

Even various crops have different planting methods, not to mention that the mulberry tree is just a branch, and they are not sure how to plant it.

Qiao Ran said to the eager people: "Plant these dozen mulberry trees over there first, three feet apart, like a fence to surround this section of the embankment. Then we can raise ducks and geese."

Then he pointed to the large bundle of branches and said, "These branches should be cut into a length of one foot, leaving three to four buds."

She took out a pair of gardening shears and a knife and demonstrated in person: "When cutting, cut diagonally like this, or cut diagonally like this, so that the cut or cut is diagonal, making it easier to insert into the mud and take root." . Soak the pruned or cut branches in this pot for a while before cutting them into the soil. When inserting, insert them diagonally, to about this depth."

Several people gathered around Qiao Ran and studied seriously.

Soon everyone divided the work and cooperated, some pruned or cut branches, some loosened the soil, some took cuttings, some watered, and some planted the dozen or so mulberry trees with roots.

After the lesson, Qiao Ran used a wooden basin to get some water from the ditch, and put some spiritual spring water in it. The survival rate of the branches soaked in the spiritual spring water must be very high.

Several members of the Qiao family were busy. Not far away, villagers who had had lunch and were carrying hoes to work in the fields came over. When they learned that they were going to plant mulberry trees, they all enthusiastically wanted to help.

For a while, the pond's dam was full of helpers. It was originally expected that it would take a day or two to plant these mulberry trees. With the enthusiastic help of everyone, they were all planted in less than half a day.

Now it's better, the Qiao family won't delay spring planting.

The fish pond has been dug, the fish fry have been put down, and the mulberry trees on the dam have been planted. Next, it is time to get busy with spring planting and rice transplanting.

The next day, Qiao Erhe and Qiao Sanhu led the cows to the fields.

The wound on the female buffalo's back has been completely healed by Qiao Ran's medicine and spiritual spring water, leaving only a little mark. It's nothing to the cow, it's just a few missing hairs.

The cows that drank the water from the spiritual spring were stronger and more powerful, but much more docile than before. They were just like domestic cows, not as wild and untamable as other bison.

The calf also followed the mother cow out, happily following beside it. It looked like a happy child, which made people envious.

The calf drank the water from the spiritual spring and walked much more smoothly. It seemed to be growing very fast. It was originally small and looked a little stronger.

The villagers also lined up to use other adult bison to plow the fields. Since the bison had not yet been domesticated, the villagers who had not yet had their turn also helped drive the bison to the fields.

Some bison are still wild and untamable. They refuse to move even if someone leads them by the nose. They have to be pulled and pushed by several men to finally get to the edge of the field.

Seeing Qiao Sanhu carrying the rake and Qiao Erhe leading the cow easily, with the calf following obediently, the men in the village were envious.

"Hey, it's really strange! They are both bison, so why is the Erhe family's cow so obedient? If I hadn't known that it was also a bison, I would have thought it was the Erhe family's domestic cow that has been raised for many years!"

"Isn't it? Such obedient bison are really rare. How long have you been raising them? None of the other cows are obedient. Why are Qiao's cows so obedient? They are nothing like the bison that were just captured."

"I heard that cows are also very understanding of human nature. Maybe this cow knew that Ran Ran saved her and healed her injuries, so she wanted to repay her kindness!"

"I have also heard from old people that cows are more humane than cats and dogs. If you treat them well, they will remember them!"

"Ah, then I have to treat the bison well later and make it obedient and work quickly."

The men were talking about it, and when they arrived at the edge of the field, they soon discovered that what they just said couldn't be done at all.

These bison are so difficult to tame!

It took quite a while just to hitch the oxen to the rake.

Finally, someone pressed the head, someone pulled the tail, and someone hugged the cow's body, and finally the plow's traction rope was put on the cow.

It's just that those bison had something tied on their bodies, and they were all very uncomfortable and wanted to break free of the rope.

A group of people were pulling, pushing and dragging the cows forward. They were so tired that they were covered in sweat. Some cows just refused to obey and stood still. They were so angry that they said what they just said. He forgot all about being kind to the cow and had no choice but to whip the cow.

Some cows will walk forward when they are in pain, some ignore the pain, just lower their heads and flick their tails or even lie on the ground to get rid of the rake, and some even bump into people when they are beaten.

There was a lot of excitement in the fields. Almost every cow plowing the fields had six or seven men helping him. Everyone was so busy that people looked up at their cows.

Only on the Qiao family's paddy field, Qiao Sanhu led the cow in front, and Qiao Erhe helped rake behind the cow. The two and the cow cooperated very well, and soon half of the paddy field was raked.

Later, without even being pulled by Qiao Sanhu, the cow was able to circle the paddy field on its own, raking the remaining half of the paddy field.
