Wen Xian didn't know what kind of animal that was outside the door. I don't even know if the guy outside found her.
Therefore, there was nothing she could do except come back and close the door.
Otherwise, if that guy breaks in suddenly, the people in the cave will be doomed.
After Sheng Lian'er brought the torch, she motioned to Sheng Lian'er to hold the door instead of her. Then, she climbed onto the stone, carefully followed the vent, and handed the torch out.
After waiting for a while, Wen Xian still didn't hear any movement outside, so she stretched out half her head to see what was going on outside.
This sight made her happy. When luck comes, nothing can stop it.
She jumped off the stone and said, "Let's go out and catch them back."
And the movements between her and Sheng Lian'er had long since awakened the others. Therefore, she no longer suppressed her voice.
Curious heads on the wooden bed looked over, especially the pregnant woman Jiang Jingwan, who had been listening carefully to what was going on here.
Jiang Jingwan is due to give birth in more than a month, and her belly is so big that it is inconvenient to get out of bed at any time. Therefore, she could only lie on the bed and watch silently.
When they heard Wen Xian speak, they no longer suppressed their voices. The others immediately got up and put on their shoes and ran over, especially Wu Junlan and Xia Zhi who were the fastest.
"What is that outside?" Zheng Rou couldn't squeeze through, so she had to raise her head and ask.
"Of course it's a good thing." Wen Xian replied with a raised eyebrow, then quickly led people out and moved the guy blocking the door to the fire in the cave.
"Two sheep?" Jiang Jingwan couldn't help but let Jiang Lingling help her sit up, staring at the sheep beside the charcoal fire as if staring at a big meal.
Wen Xian took out a rope and tied the ewe's legs to the pheasant, and said, "To be precise, it's a ewe and a lamb."
Moreover, the lamb is still very young, not even as big as Xiao Huihui, and has not yet been weaned.
Little Huihui, who was sleeping next to the fire, raised his eyelids telepathically and took a look, and then continued to sleep without having anything to do with himself.
Xiao Huihui thought to herself: Mommy has picked up animals again and eaten them.
However, Wen Xian did not intend to eat them. She also plans to take good care of her two sheep, especially the ewes.
When the baby in Jiang Jingwan's belly is born next month, she can still drink goat's milk with her.
Jiang Jingwan looked regretful and warned herself in her heart that she couldn't compete with her children for food.
With the addition of two sheep, the cave seemed even more crowded.
A chicken, a wolf, and two sheep are all about to become a breeding farm.
Moreover, there are more animals. We eat, drink, and have sex together, and the smell in the cave instantly rises.
Especially at night, mixed with the smell of Gongtong, it makes people feel restless for a long time.
Although the two half-frozen sheep that appeared out of nowhere are not dangerous, the possibility of other ferocious animals coming over cannot be ruled out.
Therefore, everyone did not go to the hut at the entrance of the cave at night, but chose to wait until the next morning to go there, or use a gong bucket.
Not to mention, the two sheep adapted very quickly. Except for the first two days when Xiao Huihui and so many of them were so scared that they huddled in a corner, they spent the rest of the time eating and sleeping.
The lambs just need goat's milk, while the ewes eat the leaves they brought back some time ago.
Maybe the ewe knew that it was snowy outside, and that she would not be able to find anything to eat if she went out, and that she would be easily eaten as prey.
Therefore, it does not dislike the yellowing leaves at all. He even knows how to store grain and save some food.
Wen Xian wanted to let the ewes give more milk so that they could also drink goat milk. When eating every day, she would specially save some, add the leftover bones to make soup and feed it to the ewes.
Of course, Xiao Huihui is no exception. If the ewe has some, she will also give a portion to Xiao Huihui.
She even made a charcoal fire for two sheep and a chicken to keep them warm.
Little Huihui is free-range, not in Wen Xian's arms, but next to the charcoal fire.
After raising it like this for seven days, Wen Xian finally took action on the ewe.
"Husband, madam, I'm nervous." Zheng Rou squatted next to Wen Xian holding a basin, feeling a little uneasy.
But she was really curious about how to milk a goat, and she must follow the madam to see it once.
Wen Xian smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? Look at how docile it is."
The handler is short-handed and the cannibal is soft-mouthed, but the ewe is quite sensible. When he saw them coming, he didn't even look at them and continued to eat leaves.
What's more, if the milk is not squeezed out, the ewe will not feel comfortable holding it in.
Before milking the goat, the ewe needs to be wiped clean with warm water to avoid bacterial contamination.
After Wen Xian carefully wiped it clean with a handkerchief, she asked Zheng Rou to put the basin underneath and connect it. Then I pressed it gently with my hand, and the goat's milk flowed straight into the basin.
What you need to pay attention to during this period is that the intensity of milking must be moderate and not excessive force to avoid harming the sheep.
The squeezed milk is best consumed within 24 hours, otherwise it needs to be frozen.
Although the temperature outside was low, Wen Xian could not find any container to store goat milk except bamboo tubes.
Seeing more and more goat milk in the basin, Zheng Rou felt relieved and began to feel anxious.
She looked at Wen Xian expectantly and said, "Madam, I want to try it too."
It looks very funny, which is really embarrassing but also makes people curious.
"Come on, be gentle." Wen Xian wiped her hands and exchanged positions with Zheng Rou.
Zheng Rou squeezed it tentatively and felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in her heart as she watched the goat's milk flow smoothly into the basin.
She was having so much fun, and the others watching were also excited to try it. Unfortunately, it was almost crowded today, so I had to give up and come first next time.
This time, I squeezed out almost four kilograms of goat milk, which was enough for half a basin. If you don't have to save some for the lamb, you can at least squeeze out a pound.
From this, Wen Xian came to the conclusion that this was an ordinary dairy goat.
Dairy goats usually produce about five or six kilograms of milk a day on average, and they produce milk nine months a year.
"Nine months?" Jiang Lingling said in surprise, "Then I won't have to worry about food and drink when the child is born."
Someone would give her a pillow every time she dozed off. She was still worried that she would not be able to find a wet nurse and the child would starve. The arrival of this ewe directly provided for nine months of food.
Not only for nine months, but as long as you keep raising the ewes, you can drink goat's milk every year.
However, Wen Xian said angrily: "We can still starve the child to death. If the mother's milk is not enough, I can still nurse the child. Even if that doesn't work, we can still think of other ways."
For example, make rice soup, or batter, chestnut paste, etc.
Xiao Huihui, who has the most say: Gooey, gooey is delicious.
Jiang Lingling was slightly startled: "Sister Wan still has to breastfeed herself?"
Coming from a big family, there is no precedent for a biological mother to breastfeed. This, this, this, breastfeed by yourself, is that okay?
Wen Xian asked strangely: "What else?"
Then she looked at Jiang Jingwan and asked in confusion: "You don't want to breastfeed the child?"
