The next day, Lu Zhou got up early as usual.

First we came to the newly built cattle pen.

[Ding, the sign-in is successful, congratulations to the host for getting 32 adult cattle!]

"What a risk, the reward is an adult cow..."

Lu Zhou was very satisfied with today's sign-in reward.

"According to the sign-in rules, similar items will also change the details as the occasion changes. For example, if you sign in the calf pen, it will be a calf, but if you sign in in the new cattle pen, it will be a big cow. But fortunately, the number will keep growing.

....”

Lu Zhou naturally likes to have adult cattle, which can be directly used as survival supplies, and also eliminates a lot of labor and fodder required for breeding in captivity.

Now the food crisis has been alleviated for the time being!

"Master, are there too many cows again?"

Wula got up early today. With her sleepy eyes, she saw the extra cows in the new cattle pen from a distance. She was so excited that her eyes widened and she trotted over.

"Well, let's arrange for someone to take care of it today to prevent the cow from freezing."

"I know, Ulla understands!"

When Wula walked to the cattle pen, he happily pulled a cow and couldn't hold it back any longer, and asked happily:

"Master, where did you get these cows?

The quality is really great!

These cows will be raised until next year and they will give birth to a bunch of calves. Then they will be raised until the year after that and they will give birth to a bunch of calves.

After three years, we Zhuangzi will no longer have to go hungry!"

Ulla couldn't help but dance.

Very happy.

"Look at your potential!"

Lu Zhou scoffed and made up a reason casually: "These are rewards given to me by the prairie gods."

"oh!"

Ula, however, was convinced and nodded without any doubt. He squatted down and pushed aside a ball of cow dung and smelled it: "As expected of the grassland god's cow, this cow's daddy smells very healthy! In my opinion, it has been fattened to

Six hundred pounds is no problem!"

Lu Zhou curled his lips.

Six hundred pounds is nothing.

In ancient times, there was no scientific selection of cattle breeds. They could only raise cattle to a maximum of 600 pounds, and they had to have enough fodder to raise them.

However, the excellent cattle breeds rewarded by this system are estimated to be almost 600 kilograms now, and they will be fattened to at least 1,000 kilograms next year.

"Well, with these cows, Zhuangzi will not be short of food for the time being!"

"Old Wu, take me to the hole dug yesterday!"

Lu Zhou turned around and walked to the other side.

Since he learned about the serious situation yesterday, Lu Zhou gave up the kind of sleep that lasted all day. He planned to take some time to come out every day to see the construction situation in this village.

At this time, I happened to meet a servant who was gathering fodder.

Lu Zhou took another look with interest.

The servant was an extremely thin young man. In his previous life, he should have been at an age where he could wield a keyboard.

But now he is carrying a large bundle of fodder, which is very uncoordinated with his body, and he walks unsteadily.

This servant probably hasn't been a slave for long, and his toes haven't been frozen off yet.

When the thin young man saw that it was Lu Zhou, he quickly put down the materials and then knelt down with a "plop", his whole body lying on the ground.

Lu Zhou frowned slightly. Seeing this, Wula quickly stepped forward and kicked him:

"Get up! Get up quickly, the master doesn't like people kneeling!"

But the thin young man didn't move at all, he just retracted his head into the ground again.

Wula kicked him hard again.

The thin boy buried his head tighter and curled up.

He started to tremble and endured the pain without saying a word!

Is it stubbornness or fear?

Lu Zhou was not in the mood to be entangled. He sighed and asked Ula to stop. He took out a piece of leftover meat scraps from his pocket and threw it on the ground. Ula saw it in his eyes and felt heartbroken, but he did not dare to stop it.

When Lu Zhou and Lu Zhou walked away, the boy desperately grabbed the meat dregs and crazily stuffed it into his mouth.

"What kind of world is this..."

Lu Zhou shook his head secretly.

If a person had not experienced some mental and physical torture, he would never become like this.

Not only this young man, but all the other servants of Zhuangzi were like this, like zombies.

Except for a few people who can say a few words.

And among these people who can speak a few words, Ulla's IQ is also outstanding.

Lu Zhou sighed.

If you want to change some things, you have to do it step by step.

Keep walking to the other side.

The most urgent task is to start making the stove and make iron tools as soon as possible.

...

At the other end of the village.

Lu Zhou finally saw the shallow pit for the stove, which was only about one meter in diameter. He didn't know how long he had been digging last night. Anyway, Lu Zhou couldn't stand the cold wind at that time, so he went back to the tent to rest after not looking for long.

But now it seems that the work efficiency in this wilderness is really low. It took most of the night to dig out a shallow pit about one meter in diameter.

And now not long after morning, the servants were gathered here again.

Lu Zhou looked at the emaciated and shaky appearance of each of them. Without hesitation, he said to Wula next to him: "Quick, go make a pot of broth!"

"Ah! Double boil again..."

Ulla went reluctantly.

...

After drinking the broth, a group of people quickly became more energetic.

Everyone spread out the clay, followed Lu Zhou's instructions, added gravel and sand, mixed with water and compacted it firmly.

Then add water, then stamp it firmly, and finally cut the reconciled clay into strips and surround the pit.

Just like laying bricks, they are laid up in circles.

Every process here can be replaced by a bowl of broth. After this group of people complete these tasks, each person can be replaced by three bowls of thick broth!

So much so that the eyes of the people on the side turned green. They usually only eat some wild vegetable leaves and minced meat and bone soup. How could they eat such thick meat...

And Lu Zhou did not favor one against another, and tried his best to find various excuses. Those who moved soil, fetched water, and even those in the cattle pen, as long as they were able to work today, could drink a bowl of thick broth.

Soon, everyone in Zhuangzi was able to drink at least one bowl. After drinking several bowls of meat, some people's eyes became much clearer.

Ulla looked on and felt heartbroken.

At this time, Lu Zhou suddenly remembered something and asked Wula: "Lao Wu, why do we have no horses in Zhuangzi, and why don't we have sheep?"

I had never seen them before and thought there were no such animals in this world, but since it is the Ming Dynasty, there should be cattle, horses and sheep!

When Wula heard this question, she suddenly said with runny nose and tears: "In late autumn and early winter, horses and lambs freeze to death, and only cattle can be saved..."

"so cold?"

"Well, we were all frozen to death. There was a sudden strange snowfall, and there was no time to prepare."

"Strange snow?"

Lu Zhou opened his mouth and suddenly remembered the Little Ice Age in history. During this period, the global temperature became colder and natural disasters continued, especially at the end of the Ming Dynasty!

During this period, even the Ming Dynasty, which was far to the south and had abundant water and soil, suffered from constant disasters and the people were in dire straits, let alone this distant Siberia.

If he hadn't traveled through time himself, Zhuangzi probably wouldn't have been able to survive this winter.

Lu Zhou suddenly felt that the burden on him was heavier.

...

The furnace continues to work.
To be continued...
