Chapter 89 The herd (3)
Su Ming kept circling around the beast group in the sky. Tens of thousands of bison, yellow sheep, antelope, and giant-horned deer occupied a large area. The range of dragon power was limited and it could not cover all areas. In order to prevent the entire beast group from escaping everywhere, Su Ming could only fly around the beast group.
The witches were also helping Su Ming to keep the herd from chaos, and the remaining people brought ropes to all the bison and yellow sheep. Some people put ropes to cattle and sheep. Others took the cattle and sheep back.
So many cattle and sheep were sent back to Milanheim. Milanheim had no such large livestock pen to raise these livestock. They could only urgently build large livestock pens to raise these cattle and sheep livestock.
Tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were arrested, and one or two livestock pens were not enough. Fortunately, there were enough open spaces around Milanheim. All the workers who were building roads were recalled. The road construction was temporarily stagnant, and everyone was working hard to build livestock pens.
Because time is urgent and there are many livestock circles that need to be built, so we can only do whatever we want. A large number of workers began to erect wooden fences outside the city and then linked these wooden fences together. It was a simple livestock circle. As soon as the livestock circle was repaired, a large number of bison were driven in.
A large number of livestock lined up in a long line towards Milanheim. The entire town was running at high load. The arrest of tens of thousands of bison and yellow sheep at one time directly made Milanheim eat. If it weren't for Su Ming and many witches' help, this group of migrating beasts would have captured at most several thousand and caught some oil.
Although he was overeating, Su Ming had no intention of letting go of the remaining beasts. No matter whether he could hold it or not, he would catch them all first.
The workload of tens of thousands of livestock is very high. In addition to the bison and yellow sheep sent to the livestock pen, there are also a large number of injured and dead livestock. When the herd of beasts was stopped, a large number of buffaloes were trampled to death, and a large number of injured people were also injured.
Milanheim had no one to treat these injured cattle and sheep. Some minor injuries could be slowly recovered and left behind. All the remaining ones were sent to the slaughterhouse. All the fur tendons were divided and the remaining meat was sent to the kitchen.
When intercepting the beast group, the beast group was killed and injured, and roughly calculated that there were thousands of heads. There were too many meats divided by so many cattle and sheep, and the kitchen could not handle them at all. There was not enough pots, and in the end there was nothing we could do, so we directly distributed the divided meat to a team of workers.
The workers' team in Milanheim are divided according to the team. There are twelve people in a team, and each team gives them more than 20 kilograms of meat, salt and other seasonings, so that they can barbecue the meat themselves.
In this weather, meat cannot be preserved for a long time, and the kitchen is working hard to process fresh meat. Fortunately, Milanheim is not short of salt. Cut the fresh meat into strips of appropriate size, and then marinate the meat directly with salt to make it into a bacon-like state. After air-dried, these meats can be easily stored for several years.
In addition to making bacon, Su Ming also asked someone to find a few big pots and throw the meat into the pot to cook. Although Su Ming's cooking skills are average, in his former floating city, there were several half-ling masters cooking for him.
Halflings have learned a little bit of cooking skills. At the same time, he also knows that as long as the halflings are put in and salt, the meat cooked is not as good as the halflings' cooking skills, but it is much better than the bad chefs in the territory.
The first time civilians in the territory could let go of their stomachs and eat meat, which was something they didn't dare to think about before. Now, there is a lot of meat and eating it casually. Although the work is heavy, everyone is working very hard.
Tens of thousands of wild bison, yellow sheep, giant horned deer made the entire territory busy for three days, and then all the cattle and sheep were sent to the simple livestock pen established in Milanheim.
The cattle and sheep in this group of beasts were finally counted. In the group, there were 36,700 bisons, 22,300 yellow sheep, 25,300 giant horned deer, and more than a dozen other beasts, which looked like more than a thousand.
So many livestock have directly turned Milanheim into a huge animal circle. Tens of thousands of livestock are not just caught, and the next thing is even more overwhelming.
Bringing these livestock back requires feeding, which requires a lot of forage. A bison needs to eat about thirty kilograms of forage a day, and more than 30,000 cows are millions of forage. In addition to the yellow sheep and giant horned deer, Milanheim needs to consume about two million kilograms of forage in just one day.
It took only a few days for this group of cattle and sheep to eat all the weeds around Milanheim. If you want to continue feeding these livestock, Su Ming could only use food.
Fortunately, soybeans and black beans are richer in nutrients than hay, and the cattle's appetite is not as exaggerated as before, but the food consumed every day is still very amazing.
Su Ming could only increase the efforts to purchase grain, and at the same time bought a large amount of coarse grain to feed livestock. More than 60,000 cattle and sheep, Milanheim naturally couldn't digest it, so Su Ming also began to sell these cattle and sheep to the outside world.
At the same time, the food in Milanheim has been directly improved by two levels. Originally, there were only a small amount of meat a day, but now it has been multiple times. Each person has a large piece of barbecue or cooked braised meat.
This time, there were too many meats. Although the kitchen had worked very hard, there was still a large amount of fresh meat that had not been made. Su Ming could only use spells to make a large amount of ice cubes to preserve the meat.
Su Ming only plans to leave a part of the tens of thousands of bison and yellow sheep captured this time. Most of the bison and yellow sheep will be sold or eaten, and the remaining part will be domesticated into plowing oxen.
Originally, Su Ming was still worried about the plowing oxen that would plow the land next year, but now he was worried about the too many cows. Milanheim's current strength cannot raise so many plowing oxen and cannot use so many cows, so the day after he caught the bison, Su Ming sent someone to take a large number of bisons to the city of Cana for sale.
Although bison is wild and difficult to tame and difficult to control, bison skin, bison horns and beef tendons are all good things, better than domestic cows, and the quality of the bows and arrows made is better, and they are military supplies, and the price is not cheap.
