Chapter 324 The Difference Between a Mule and a Horse
"Yes, yes, we understand, we understand!"
Bai Zhantang had quick hands and eyes, and he held it in his hand as if he had found a treasure.
Since Chu Qiu said it was spiritual tea, it would definitely not be any worse.
Bai Zhanying and the two are also very excited. It doesn't matter if it refreshes the mind or the like, the key is to prolong life!
When middle-aged people have no choice but to soak wolfberry in beer bottles!
The unspeakable secrets in this are only known to them!
Now that we have this spiritual tea, is it not better than any other health care products?
"Okay, let's get down to business."
Chu Qiu waved his hand and interrupted the three people's thoughts: "You all know my plan for Daqing Mountain. Let me tell you how long it will take to build the road in the mountain. It will also cost a lot to build a power station and electrify it.
How much time??”
"Boss, we don't have much say in the power supply, but I think it won't take too long. As for building roads in the mountains, it depends on how you build them?"
Bai Zhantang and the other two looked at each other and did not answer. Instead, they asked a question.
"Um."
Chu Qiu smiled faintly, raised his hand, took out a map, and spread it on the stone table.
The three brothers looked stunned, looking left and right, wondering where Chu Qiu came from.
But soon, their eyes were attracted by the picture on the map.
Because the painting above is simply the epitome of Daqingshan, and it’s flawless!
"This map is the entire landform of Daqingshan. It is no exaggeration to say that it is exactly the same!"
Chu Qiu pointed at the map and said: "Look, this is Bumpkin Mountain, this is Fist Peak, and this is True Dragon Peak."
"Here, here, when the power station is built, a road must be built here!"
"There is also a road that needs to be built from the entrance of the village to Baozi Mountain. The total length is about four to five hundred meters. This is the only way into the mountain and the first road to be built!"
As Chu Qiu spoke, he took out a pen in his hand and drew the places where road construction was needed on the map.
In this way, the three of them could clearly see what Chu Qiu was thinking.
"Boss, the three of us have already figured out what you are thinking."
"To be honest, it is difficult to build roads in the mountains. It is ten times more difficult than building ordinary roads!"
"It will definitely take a lot longer!"
Bai Zhantang sorted out his thoughts slightly and spelled out the more difficult parts.
"Originally we thought we would build a road directly from the entrance of the village to the end, covering the entire mountain range, but it seems that is not the case now."
"If a road is built directly to the end, while we are building it, we can use machines to transport cement, sand, etc. along the road."
"But now, we need to start construction on multiple lines. There is no passage in the middle, and it is impossible to get machines and other things up."
"Sand, cement, and stones can only be carried by manpower."
"And the average person can't carry it. Even if they can carry it, I won't say whether anyone can do it. The key is that it's such a hot day. I'm afraid something will happen!"
"This will delay the entire project even slower! I don't know if it will be completed by the end of the year!"
After hearing these words, Chu Qiu couldn't help but frown.
At this time, manpower is really hard to find, and the key is to be naturally strong.
It seems that relying on people is not feasible.
"What about using a donkey?"
Chu Qiu's eyes lit up. The donkey was much stronger than a human being and had great endurance. It could walk on the mountain road as usual.
Moreover, there are not only a few people raising donkeys in every village in the world.
Horses are too expensive, and it seems that not everyone can keep them, and they are also difficult to obtain.
But donkeys and mules are still easy to get.
“Use a donkey??”
Bai Zhantang and the other three also showed surprise, "This is a good idea. Donkeys are stronger than people, and they can carry several bags of cement at a time. This is a good idea!"
"I think it's better to use horses and mules, that is, mules!"
Bai Zhanying's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "When I went riding before, I heard someone say that horses, donkeys, and mules, of the three, mules are the strongest, have the most endurance, and are explosive, but they are not good at running!"
"Moreover, a mule and a horse look alike at first sight, and it's almost impossible to recognize them to an uninformed person. Moreover, mules are much easier to care for than horses!"
"You are right about this. I was born in a rural area. I have seen many mules before. Some are bigger than horses and as long as horses. They are good at pulling grain and plowing the land!"
Chu Qiu agreed with this statement.
"Okay, this matter is settled, you hurry up and prepare the materials, I will go out and get some mules and come back!"
Chu Qiu clapped his hands, speaking rather vigorously.
He wanted to finalize the matter as soon as possible because he agreed to spend his honeymoon with his wife last night.
The four soldiers were divided into two groups.
Chu Qiu went directly to his uncle's house.
"Uncle, you are more familiar with me than I am in this ten-mile-eight village. Do you know any family that raises mules and donkeys?"
“Raise mules and raise donkeys??”
Chu Songbai was stunned when he heard this and said: "Why are you asking this? You don't want to raise them on the mountain, right?"
"That's not true. The roads on the mountain are too difficult to repair, and many machines cannot get there. Where manpower is needed, I want to get some mules to carry things like sand and cement."
Chu Qiu explained it again.
"Is that so? In fact, there are quite a few donkeys, but in terms of intelligence and load-bearing, mules are better."
Chu Songbai took a puff of dry cigarette, thought for a while and said: "Do you know Changqiu Village? In the upper reaches of the Shouwang River, they are close to the big river bend. The river slope is very long and large, and there are abundant plants and grass. Many people raise mules.
Breed donkeys and sell them!”
"Changqiu Village? I know this!"
Chu Qiu said happily: "I'll go take a look right now!"
After leaving Chujia Village, I made a magic formula when there was no one around me, and arrived at Changqiu Village in just a few breaths.
While in mid-air, Chu Qiu had already seen many people grazing donkeys and mules in Dahewan.
After dispersing and becoming invisible, Chu Qiu went directly to the river bend, found an old farmer, and said, "Uncle, how many donkeys and mules do you have here?"
"Not many, eight!"
The old farmer said with a smile: "Four mules and four donkeys!"
"Then will you sell it?"
Chu Qiu smiled and said, "I want to buy some mules. Can you show me which mules you raise?"
"Young man, are you kidding me? Who would want to raise someone like you at home?"
The old farmer smiled, obviously not believing it, but he still pointed out the mules and donkeys he raised.
"Our mules and donkeys are very obedient, and they all stay together and eat grass. I saw those eight, four mules, two of which were horses and mules, and two of which were donkeys and mules!"
"And one of the female donkeys and mules is pregnant with a calf. I'm not bragging. If a mule is pregnant with a calf, it's God's fault!"
Chu Qiu looked strange and said: "Uncle, isn't this mule a crossbreed and has genetic defects, so isn't it infertile?"
"Don't you understand this? Science also says that a mule only has a lifespan of 15 years, but the oldest mule in our village is almost forty years old. Can you believe it?"
"It is true that mules do not give birth, but there are always exceptions. Horses and mules are almost never seen, but it is still possible for donkeys and mules to give birth, but this possibility is too low, and you may not encounter it for decades!"
Chu Qiu nodded in agreement, there is no absolute in everything, there will always be a glimmer of hope.
Then I learned about the difference between horses and mules and donkeys and mules.
When a donkey and a horse are crossed, the offspring born from the donkey's belly are called donkeys and mules.
What comes out of a horse's belly is called a horse mule!
Horses and mules are like horses, even taller than horses.
Donkeys and mules are slightly leaning towards donkeys, but they are bigger than donkeys and smaller than horses!
They are collectively called mules!
"Uncle, if you raise so many animals right now, you will definitely want to sell them. Please tell me a price. I will take the two horses and mules as well as the donkey and mule with their babies!"
Chapter completed!
