The three of them walked back to the courtyard. Du Yue suddenly remembered. “What did you exchange with Lu Donglai and the others?”
“Lu Donglai wants grass seeds and the planting method, as well as the mushrooms and the method to grow mushrooms. 1 asked for a cow and four horses, and he agreed.”
Du Yue looked at He Xing with admiration. He Xing would never be at a disadvantage when negotiating.
However, Lu Donglai and the others had also profited this time. These grass seeds were not ordinary grass seeds, and the mushrooms were not ordinary mushrooms either. These were all the mushrooms and grass seeds developed by Xia Ju. Not only could the survival rate reach 100%, but even the nutritional value and taste were many times better than ordinary ones. The horses that Du Yue had been longing for were finally here, but the problem now was where to keep them? Not to mention the horses, Du Yue was even troubled thinking about where to keep the cow. The sheep had already been led into the sheep pen. At this moment, it was burying its head in the grass and kicking non-stop. It was obviously eating very happily.
The cow was also grazing in the yard, but they could not just leave it there. Not to mention anything else, just the cow dung was enough to make Du Yue and the other two collapse. The three of them thought about it and finally decided to expand the courtyard. Fortunately, when they expanded the courtyard last time, they had guessed that such a day would come, so they deliberately left a small empty part. It was very convenient to expand the courtyard now. Taking advantage of the fact that Shen Teng had gone to Lu Donglai’s tribe, the three of them decided to start work now.
Otherwise, when Shen Teng came back, they would not be able to take out things from the space casually. As for whether Shen Teng would be shocked when he returned and saw the new stable and cowshed, Du Yue and the others could not care less. It was not easy for them to come to a place far away from human habitation. If they had to mind others when doing something, then their lives would be too difficult.
Although they did not have much contact with Shen Teng, Du Yue and He Xing knew him well. He was not a person who would talk too much. During their time together, he paid great attention to his sense of propriety and would not pry into other people’s privacy. The construction of the cowshed and stable was obviously much more troublesome than the previous chicken coop and sheep pen. Cows and horses were larger, so they had to be given a comfortable living environment. They also had to make sure that it was not troublesome to clean up. Therefore, the cowshed and stable had to be bigger. Other than size, there were also other factors such as smell and safety. The location was also very important. When they were building the cowshed, He Xing suddenly said, “You don’t have to worry about the smell. I’ll start making air purifiers in the next few days. When the time comes, we’ll see if it’s more suitable to put it in the RV or in the cowshed.”
Du Yue nodded. She was indeed quite worried about the smell, but since He Xing said so, she could rest assured. A person who could even make a high-tech range hood that could suck in the smell of oil and smoke should not find it difficult to make an air purifier.
The roof of the sheds for the cow and horses was reinforced, and the angle was also slanted. All three sides were blocked by walls, leaving only one side open. In the future, when the weather was cold, the open side could be sealed up. The power grid was installed behind the wall so that no one could break in. After the sheds were set up, they had to prepare a food trough for them to eat and drink. Du Yue rummaged through the space and finally decided to use a logistics box instead of a food trough.
Anyway, the logistics box was big enough and relatively sturdy. It was enough for the cow and horses to eat and drink. The ground was also covered with a thick layer of sand so that it would be easier to clean up the feces. When everything was ready, they led the cow into the cowshed. Seeing the cow leisurely eating grass and drinking water in the cowshed, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief.
When they were working, they could not feel the passage of time. Now that they were free, they looked at the time and realized that they had been busy for more than three hours. It only took about three hours to drive back and forth from the tribe to where they were. Shen Teng should be back by now. Du Yue subconsciously looked in the direction of the tribe and happened to see a car approaching them at the end of the grassland. Although they could not see clearly since it was far away, Du Yue was sure that Shen Teng had returned. Behind the car was a group of people who were traveling at a slower speed. They should be Lu Donglai and the others who were riding the carriage.
Du Yue and the other two walked out of the courtyard and saw Shen Teng’s car parked at the other end of the grassland. He had no intention of coming this way. Du Yue turned around and locked the door. The three of them walked toward Shen Teng. The grassland was 300 to 400 meters long. When they reached the end of the grassland, Shen Teng had just gotten out of the car. “I plan to set up camp here. We’ll be neighbors in the future..”
