Chapter 19 Forage Fields
The forage farm is located in the grass field five miles away from the western suburbs of Caoyuan Village. It is a large courtyard covering an extremely large area.
In the yard, more than ten open-air forage yards were built, with hay like a hill. Some of them were full of fresh forage grass for drying. In the yard, there were also two huge indoor forage storage warehouses, and then several tent-style houses. There was also a herd of a basin outside. There were several horses, cattle and sheep in the yard.
In addition, there is a relatively independent small courtyard in the northwest corner of the large courtyard. It used to be a resident, but now it is abandoned and dilapidated.
For Jin Ling, this place is indeed very familiar. In the past, I often hid and played games with my friends.
An old man in his seventies received Jin Ling's name. His name was Shao Tong.
The old man attached great importance to the newcomer this time. When he met him, he put on his formal outfit as an immortal. His left front chest was embroidered with an intermediate immortal logo of one sword and two stars.
Old Shao is obviously in his twilight years and his teeth are leaking. In fact, in Jin Ling's eyes, the old man's white immortal power is relatively strong, and he should have been promoted to a high-level immortal. I don't know if he doesn't care about this level of promotion or he doesn't notice it.
"Why are you kid?" He accepted Jin Ling's recommendation letter and the appointment letter of the village head office, and was both happy and surprised. "I am old and useless. I can't even calculate the simple forage storage. I have been hoping that someone in Xian Village can be sent to take over. Unexpectedly, the person who came will ruin you, you little guy."
Jin Ling helped Aunt Yang's family come here to sell pasture and meet the old man, and he is also an acquaintance.
"I failed to open an immortal, so I have to find a living." Jin Ling said, "I gave Mr. Sun a jar of good wine to the storyteller. In return, he recommended me to the village owner to work in the forage farm."
"The forage farm is good, the forage farm is good!" The old man opened his leaking mouth, "Here, it is leisurely, quiet and safe, and he does not receive less money than those immortals who suffer in the village owner's mansion! Have you eaten? I'll cook for you!"
As he said that, he plunged into the kitchen next to him. After a while, three dishes and one soup were served, and one of the dishes was actually a whole chicken. In addition to these, there was also half a pot of hot wine.
Mr. Shao's enthusiasm made Jin Ling a little unbearable. Jin Ling couldn't help but suspect that the old man's happiness was completely against his will. Although he was a thirteen-year-old boy, although he was famous for being smart in the village, he was still a mortal in the eyes of outsiders. What kind of benefits could he help?
You should know that when you go deep into the field, there are monsters around you. During the day, monsters may disappear, but at night, it is often the time for them to start moving and foraging.
The reason why there are immortals in charge is mainly because we need to prevent the attack of monsters at night.
Then, Jin Ling immediately understood that no matter how old he was or whether he was an immortal, as long as he came, he would be a big help.
Because, before he came, Mr. Shao was the only one in the forage farm. The only thing that someone could talk to him could make the old man excited.
The main responsibility of this forage farm is to purchase the forage from local herdsmen and then dry it into hay for Shuangshixian Village and the higher-level Lingshan Fairy Township to use for their own use in winter, or to sell it to other immortals, etc. The profits obtained from the sale are distributed by Grassland Village, Shuangshixian Village and Lingshan Fairy Township according to the level.
You should know that the snow is heavy in winter, and it is difficult for grass to grow, so you must make reserves early.
There are natural pastures around, where grass can be harvested and dried, and then become feed for mounts to be eaten. This takes a long process. Shuangshixian Village does not have enough manpower to do this, so it has to adopt the method of purchasing from local villagers.
As a power institution, you must also seek some benefits for the people in your location. Anyway, the funds for purchasing forage are allocated by your superiors.
The collected forage is stored in various warehouses of this forage yard. Among them, the best ones are stored in indoor warehouses, while the others are stored in open-air places. People from Shuangshixian Village or people from Lingshan Fairy Township to collect forage only need to rely on a kind of village. The village chief issued by the village chief and village chief issued a note with the word "proof" written on it, which is generally based on a burden. Others who come to buy forage, need to hand over the money to Shuangshixian Village first and get the same certificate note before they can get the forage.
To a certain extent, as the manager of this forage farm, Mr. Shao’s daily work is just to collect notes, and then supervise the herdsmen to deliver the forage and the visitor to pick up the amount of forage and register.
As long as you have learned the most basic arithmetic, people who can write two words are qualified.
It was precisely because of this belief that without any training that he came to the grassland the next day, under the strong advocacy of Mr. Shao, that the little brothers Jin Ling officially took office.
The old man watched coldly, watching him register and supervise the collection of materials, and found that after a day, the little guy did not make any mistakes.
So, the old man disappeared on the third day. He left only a note saying that he was going to travel for several days. The grassland had been laid out and the powerful magic beast urine, and ordinary magic beasts did not dare to invade it. He also instructed that during his absence, Jin Ling would do his duty and do a good job in receiving and receiving the relevant materials.
After all, when I was just a newcomer, the young man was unsure. He searched around and searched every corner of the entire forage farm, but he still couldn't find the old man.
If he couldn't find it, he could not find it, so he completely took over the registration work of the forage farm. He did his work meticulously and steadily from morning to night every day.
It was left with me, a young man, to be in charge of this huge forage farm. It was fake to say that I was not a little panic in my heart. It was okay during the day, but there were always people coming and going. When the gate was closed at night, the entire forage farmyard, except for the snoring of the carts, there were only the low sound of insects, and there was no one to talk. It was so quiet that it was scary.
No wonder Mr. Shao, who is seventy years old, can't stand it anymore.
When he was just a little new to the forage field, some people came to store and retrieve the forage during the day, and sometimes they were not at ease at night. Jin Ling did not dare to practice the five elements power on the black bracelet, or practiced the use of immortal power. In his spare time, he just used his fists and feet, or held a short sword, and practiced the style of the dummy made of hay.
He practiced some fists and feet with the martial artists in the village, but he didn't know how to use swords. He was just a little impressed by the basic moves of some immortals and martial artists in the Shuangshi Xian Village. So he followed the memory, regardless of right or wrong, and he started practicing it anyway.
After Lao Shao left, after spending the first two days of fear, Jin Ling had completely adapted to the work of the forage farm. He cooked himself, made pits around him, sprayed the urine of monsters everywhere, and cleaned the hygiene in the farm by himself.
The forage farm quickly became clean and tidy.
But night was coming, and listening to the tranquility around him, he always maliciously speculated: Lao Shao never returned, was he eaten by the monster outside?
