Chapter 87 Eight horses! Thousands of cattle and sheep! The migration to the ranch begins! (First order required!)
The car drove all the way to the pasture. At the edge of the pasture, Qin Suru and several herdsmen were standing and talking.
Seeing a car approaching in the distance, Qin Suru knew immediately that it was her son.
She walked up to him with a smile, the car slowly stopped, and Chen Chuan jumped out.
"Xiaochuan, when did you buy a car?"
Chen Chuan hugged his mother and explained with a smile.
"I didn't buy it. The Forestry Bureau gave it to me."
Qin Suru straightened her son's collar and praised him.
"That's right. Alim told me that because of you, he has gained a lot of face in the Forestry Bureau."
"My son is really promising. He has only been working for a short time and he can get a car directly from his superiors."
While the mother and son were chatting, the local herdsmen started screaming in fear.
"Sister Su Ru, stop chatting and run!"
"Achuan, there's a wolf! Take your mother and run!"
Qin Suru was startled and instinctively protected her son behind her and looked at the place where the herdsmen were pointing.
A large gray wolf with scars all over its body ran towards his son's car.
But what made her brain freeze was that next to the gray wolf was their Husky.
Chen Chuan hurriedly waved to the herdsmen.
"Brothers and uncles, don't panic. This wolf has no ill intentions. I called it here to help us escape."
When these words were spoken, the herdsmen were stunned, and Qin Suru was also stunned.
Chen Chuan hooked his finger at the gray wolf, which looked extremely ferocious in their eyes.
"Da Huang, come here."
Da Huang immediately stuck out his tongue and ran to Chen Chuan's side. It rarely got so close to Chen Chuan, and imitated Erha, rubbing its head against Chen Chuan's pants.
Now Da Huang has a nine-point affinity towards Chen Chuan, and can be said to be completely captured by the Egg Yolk Pie.
The Husky ran to his old master and rubbed Qin Suru's pants.
The herdsmen were stunned, and Qin Suru was also stunned.
Wow, such a big gray wolf is acting like a pug, wagging its tail in front of Cheng Jian.
Such a scene is quite impactful.
Chen Chuan smiled.
"Look, don't worry, this wolf is with me."
A strong herdsman in his thirties swallowed his saliva, held his breath for a long time, and finally uttered a word.
"Xiaochuan, you are really amazing!"
These herdsmen are neighbors of Chen Chuan's family and the surrounding shepherds. They have watched Chen Chuan grow up.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is Chen Chuan's elder.
Chen Chuan scratched his head.
"It's okay, I just like working with animals."
As soon as it entered the grassland, Daimao left Chen Chuan's car and kept circling in the air.
Now seeing Chen Chuan stopped moving, got out of the car, brushed it and flew down.
It fell on Chen Chuan's shoulder.
When several people saw this, their eyes became even more envious.
"It's incredible! Ah Chuan actually raised a golden eagle. This is exactly what I wanted to do when I was a kid!"
"Yes, I think this young man, Achuan, is getting more and more handsome."
"Achuan, you're not married yet, right? Do you have a girl you like?"
Chen Chuan hurried to explain.
"No, no, I don't raise this. This golden eagle just has a good relationship with me."
"No, there's no rush. I'm still young and I have to focus on work right now."
……
After a lot of effort, Chen Chuan finally got rid of these kind-hearted herdsmen and breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, even in Altay where the people are simple and honest, one cannot escape the dilemma of being introduced to a partner and urged to get married.
Chen Chuan drove the car and followed the large herd of sheep.
Next, we need to prepare for the transfer of pasture.
Every time a large herd migrates, in order to prevent parasitic diseases and other infections from being brought to another pasture, the herders will gather the sheep together and give them a medicinal bath.
Medicinal bath refers to the use of various medicinal materials to soak cattle and sheep in them, so as to achieve the effect of disinfection and insecticide.
Chen Chuan started the live broadcast.
"Medicinal bathing is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Kazakh people and a fine tradition of the people on the grassland. We are now heading to a medicinal bathing spot not far from my yurt."
The audience teased.
"The host's tone makes me feel like he's being directed."
"Chen Chuan: Today we are not forest rangers anymore, today we are tour guides!"
"Local Cultural Bureau: Good boy, this is your initiative to promote culture, don't ask me for money."
The large herd of sheep walked for more than an hour and finally reached the medicinal bathing site.
These two days are the peak period for medicinal baths for cattle and sheep. If you want to take a bath, you have to queue up.
After waiting in line for dozens of minutes, it was finally their turn to queue for the flock of sheep belonging to Chen Chuan's family.
This time, the audience finally got to see the scale of Chen Chuan's cattle and sheep. There were more than 200 cattle and sheep in total.
"Damn! The anchor finally stopped hiding his wealth and showed us his financial resources. But why do I feel even more upset?"
"I originally thought that the anchor was a slave like me, who was oppressed by society and had no choice but to escape from the city to become a forest ranger. But now I see that he is just enjoying life!"
"He's rich, handsome, good at fighting, loving, kind-hearted, and humorous. Ah, the anchor brother is perfect."
Chen Chuan looked at the audience's booing and didn't take it seriously.
As a child who grew up on the grassland, less than 300 cattle and sheep were really not a lot in Chen Chuan's eyes.
Take the family at the back for example, they have nearly a thousand heads of cattle grazing.
He had already gotten off the car and was herding his sheep with his mother and other shepherds.
After driving the sheep in, close the door, because the medicine pool certainly cannot accommodate so many sheep at one time, they can only be put in batches.
Chen Chuan also followed him in and broadcast the medicinal bath process live to the audience.
The medicine pool is very large and can accommodate more than 50 cattle and sheep at a time. The medicine soup inside is brown-black, the same color as traditional Chinese medicine.
However, because it is used to eliminate infectious diseases and parasites, it contains strong medicines and has a strong odor.
Coupled with the various smells from the cattle and sheep, the smell of this medicine pool made Chen Chuan's face turn a little green.
There were four fully armed staff members standing in the pool to ensure that every cow and sheep were fully soaked in the medicinal soup.
The four staff members were quick, experienced and skilled, and it usually took them less than three minutes to prepare a batch of sheep.
Chen Chuan broadcast two batches of live broadcasts to the audience, and then took the second batch of sheep out.
Medicinal baths can not only eliminate diseases, but also serve as a bath for cattle and sheep. After the medicinal bath, the cattle and sheep come out and their hair dries out under the sun.
Not only were the parasites and odors on the body cleaned away, but the hair also became smoother and shinier. When walking among the herds of cattle and sheep, one could even smell a faint scent of herbs.
These are the benefits of medicated baths. After taking medicated baths, the mortality rate of cattle and sheep will be greatly reduced, and the cattle and sheep will grow better.
At the same time, when Chen Chuan was driving the flock of sheep for a medicinal bath and his face turned green.
His mother Qin Suru took this opportunity to return home.
Because changing pastures is not an easy task, it requires a long, long walk. Qin Suru went home and packed up the necessary items for the journey.
First, she took out the dough that had been prepared long ago and cut it into pieces and sections, rectangles, diamonds, squares and other shapes.
At the same time, the ingredients added to these doughs are different. Some have jam, some have cheese, and some have minced meat.
As for the base ingredients, they are all made by mixing flour, milk, yeast, sugar, honey, water, etc.
Then, throw the cut dough into the oil pan, turn it over, fry until golden brown and then remove it.
This is baursak, a famous snack of the Kazakh people, which can also be used as a staple food.
The production process and status of this food are somewhat similar to the fried dough sticks that people usually eat.
But due to the different ingredients used in its production, Baursak tastes more layered.
Qin Suru made two big bags of snacks like this at one time.
Of course, two big bags are not enough. After all, it is impossible for people to only eat fried snacks on the road.
People on the grassland rarely have trouble eating meat.
They drink wine and eat meat with big mouthfuls, and they are never stingy when it comes to meat.
She also prepared more than ten kilograms of dried beef to be eaten on the summer ranch.
When Chen Chuan and other shepherds led their flocks past their home.
Qin Suru was already waiting at the door with bags.
At the same time, there were eight horses parked around the door.
Each of the eight horses is full of energy and looks like a good horse that has been fed and trained for many years.
This time, Chen Chuan's family moved to another pasture together with two herdsmen, with a total of more than 2,000 cattle and sheep.
It would take about five days to bring the sheep to Oak Summer Ranch, as the journey is not short.
Here, Chen Chuan and others stopped the car and got on their horses.
Although every household has a car, whether it is a motorcycle or a pickup truck.
But when it’s time to move the sheep to their next pasture, no one chooses to ride a bike.
First, the roar and exhaust of the car would scare the cattle and sheep. Just like today, although Chen Chuan was driving the car, he always followed the back of the herd.
The second point is herding sheep on horseback, which is a tradition of the Kazakh nomadic people.
Only by riding a horse can you feel the feeling of herding sheep.
They packed up their bags and packed up the yurts. Everyone carried some things on their backs, and more was given to the strong cattle in the herd.
"Moo~"
A cow shook off the load on its body, seeming unhappy.
Erha's eyes were as sharp as lightning. He saw the condition of the cow and ran over immediately.
A pair of eyes stared at the cow. Although there was a big difference in size between them, the other one was overwhelmed in momentum.
"Wang!"
A dog barks, full of power.
The cow immediately calmed down and did the hard labor quietly.
Erha is like an Alaskan sled dog on weekdays, silly and nonsensical, but when it comes to doing things, it regains the power of a Kazakh shepherd dog.
The herders do this not to exploit their cattle and sheep.
If these strong cows do not help carry things, the time to reach the summer pasture will be much longer.
This is done to increase the marching speed of the entire herd of cattle and sheep so that they can eat fresh grass in the pasture as quickly as possible.
"Brother Achuan, wait for me!"
Chen Chuan had just taken a few steps on his horse when a young man's voice was heard behind him.
Chen Chuan turned his head and looked back, raised his eyebrows when he saw the person coming.
The boy was about sixteen or seventeen years old, but he really didn't recognize him.
The young man was tall, but he looked very sunny and honest. When he saw Chen Chuan looking at him, he urged the horse under him and walked with Chen Chuan.
"Brother Achuan, don't you remember me? I'm Erken."
Chen Chuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows again, and looked at the young man carefully.
The two families present were neighbors and had very good relations with Chen Chuan's family. One of the families had a child who always liked to follow Chen Chuan when he was a child.
It can't be said to be a follower, it can only be said to be a human pendant.
That child was Erkin.
"I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown up pretty fast."
Erken smiled, and his smile was full of youthful sunshine.
"I just had a break during my senior year of high school, and my family happened to be moving to a ranch, so I followed them here."
He looked at Chen Chuan with clear eyes.
"Brother Achuan, are you live streaming? I'm your fan. Ever since I saw the video of you saving someone by the river, I've been following you."
Chen Chuan has been live streaming, with his phone on his chest and the camera always moving in the direction of his body.
For example, now, the flock of sheep has not officially started to move yet, and he is riding on the horse, facing Erken.
Naturally, the people in the live broadcast room also saw Erken.
"Wow, what a handsome boy with good temperament. It seems that there are not many ugly people in Xinjiang."
"This little brother is really sunny. When he smiles, his smile is much more sunny than that innocent smile."
"From what the host said, they have known each other since childhood. A handsome guy and a little handsome guy. They bumped into each other!"
Chen Chuan nodded and shook his cell phone.
The people in the live broadcast room immediately felt dizzy and began to be very friendly to Chen Chuan.
"It's live, do you want to play?"
Erkenneng's eyes suddenly lit up and he leaned forward.
"Wow, there are more than 10,000 people online. Can I really play?"
Seeing Erken approaching, the direction of the barrage immediately changed in order not to pollute this sunny and cheerful little boy.
"It's okay, little brother, just broadcast it live. We've had enough of Chen Chuan."
"Little brother, take it and play with it. Sister likes this one better."
"I think it's totally possible. You can use your phone as an assistant or something, and you can also take pictures of your brother Achuan."
He saw the last comment and pointed it out to Chen Chuan.
"Brother Achuan, I think it's okay. I'll help you shoot and be your assistant."
Seeing that the boy was eager to try, Chen Chuan smiled and nodded.
Take off the phone, there is a hook on the back for hanging on clothes, which is very convenient.
Erken held the mobile phone, pretending to be very professional and posing in various ways.
"Brother Achuan, the audience said it was so hard to see your whole body."
"Brother Achuan, the audience said that your riding posture is very handsome."
"Brother Achuan, a sister said..."
This guy is like a barrage reader. When someone sends a barrage, he will repeat it aloud.
But this time, he got stuck while reading, and his wheat-colored face gradually turned red.
I guess some vicious words appeared in the barrage again.
