At four in the morning, I woke up.
Got up and headed straight for the cowshed!
As soon as Jiang Ye appeared, the four cows started calling out one after another.
Jiang Ye bent down and looked at the red milk under their bellies. It was already very full, like buckets!
He quickly grabbed the milking bucket next to them and placed it underneath.
Put on gloves, grasped, and squeezed!
White milk spurted into the milking bucket with a hiss.
Soon, the bucket was full, ten pounds of milk!
Jiang Ye couldn't resist, he picked up the bucket and took a sip.
Fragrant!
Sweet!
It really tasted good!
The one he just milked had eaten premium pasture.
Jiang Ye went to milk the second cow that had eaten premium pasture.
The bucket was quickly filled, and he took a sip. It was equally fragrant and sweet.
The taste beat the yogurt sold in supermarkets!
Next, Jiang Ye went to milk the cows that had eaten ordinary pasture.
After milking a bucket, Jiang Ye took two sips.
Jiang Ye's expression became subtle.
This bucket of milk didn't seem as fragrant and sweet as the previous two.
Moreover, there was a very strange, gamey smell.
The smell was light, but upon careful tasting, it was indeed there.
Putting down the milk bucket, Jiang Ye continued to milk the cows that had eaten inferior pasture.
After milking a bucket, Jiang Ye frowned directly.
This bucket was obviously very thin.
Clear as water.
He picked it up and took a sip, with no milky taste at all.
The milk produced by different pastures really made a huge difference!
Jiang Ye carried the four buckets of milk back to the base.
He sold them separately.
The milk selling system was user-friendly. You put the whole bucket in, clicked sell, and only the milk disappeared, while the bucket remained in the trading bay.
[Item: Premium Milk]
[Item Description: Yogurt with high protein content, rich in nutrients, and excellent taste.]
[Estimated Price: 3600 yuan]
Jiang Ye was startled. A bucket of milk was so expensive!
There wasn't any gold in this milk!
Two buckets of premium milk were sold consecutively, earning 7200 yuan.
[Item: Ordinary Milk]
[Item Description: Ordinary yogurt, bland taste, mediocre nutrition, a choice for the common people.]
[Estimated Price: 1000 yuan]
The price plummeted.
But a bigger drop was yet to come.
[Item: Inferior Milk]
[Item Description: Who would want to drink such garbage yogurt?]
[Estimated Price: 200 yuan]
The price dropped ridiculously low!
Jiang Ye did a quick calculation and figured out: feeding the cows premium pasture was the most cost-effective!
He immediately bought several bags of premium pasture, took them to the cowshed, and dumped them into the cows' troughs.
However, the cows didn't eat.
They all looked up and mooed at Jiang Ye.
It turned out that the milk hadn't been fully milked yet, and the cows were still uncomfortable from being full.
Jiang Ye put down the milk buckets and milked two more rounds before the milk was completely squeezed out.
He calculated in his head that if he fed them all premium pasture, just from milking every morning, he could earn 43,200 yuan!
The key was that these cows were relatively easy to care for. As long as they had grass and water, there were no problems, and milking didn't take more than half an hour.
Returning to the base, Jiang Ye brewed himself a bowl of winter melon and white rice soup.
After breakfast, he took his supplements and injected a physical enhancement agent, feeling invigorated as he went out!
The wind was howling again today.
It felt a few degrees colder than the previous few days.
It was clear that the real winter had not yet arrived, and the temperature was still dropping.
Jiang Ye got into the rotorcraft, started it, and took off!
The cold wind blew fiercely as the rotorcraft soared into the sky.
In a short while, he arrived near the mine.
He aimed for the runway and landed smoothly!
The mining life of the new day began again.
Jiang Ye carried his pickaxe and jumped into the mine pit.
He aimed at the exposed borax with poor water content and began to hack and smash forcefully.
To be honest, he was already getting tired of this mechanical labor.
He felt like a soulless mining tool.
But, thinking that every pickaxe swing could earn him three to four figures, his work regained its motivation!
After working for more than two hours, he chipped out two sacks of borax ore with poor water content.
Jiang Ye was sweating profusely. He climbed out of the mine pit with the sacks.
He got on the plane, took off, and headed back to the base to transport the minerals.
As soon as he could see the base, his expression changed.
A very tragic cow cry could be faintly heard from the cowshed!
It sounded as if someone was killing the cows!
Jiang Ye landed quickly. As soon as the propeller sound stopped, the cow's mournful cry sounded again, this time exceptionally clear!
He immediately gripped the Assault Rifle he was carrying on his back, held it level, and approached the cowshed step by step.
If anyone dared to raid his home and kill his cows, Jiang Ye would give him a magazine!
The cowshed door was open, clearly broken into. The cows' cries from inside were still quite tragic.
Jiang Ye nervously held his gun and crept inside. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, he froze.
It wasn't someone trying to kill the cows; there was no one in the cowshed.
The intruder was a black wild bull!
It was clearly a native species of this planet, nearly twice the size of a normal cow, with black fur as long as hair. Its horns were not like ordinary horns; they were large and forked, more like antlers.
This alien black wild bull was mounting a blue and white spotted dairy cow.
What the hell? Jiang Ye was stunned.
The dairy cow looked at its owner pleadingly. The black bull was too strong, and it couldn't resist at all.
After a brief moment of shock, Jiang Ye raised his gun and pulled the trigger!
A fierce gunfire erupted, and thirty-five bullets shot out rapidly, a metallic storm engulfing the black wild bull.
Blood splattered, some dripping down the walls, thick and viscous. More sprayed onto the dairy cow, turning the blue and white spotted cow into a red, white, and blue spotted one.
Spent casings bounced all over the ground, clinking.
Boom! The black wild bull crashed to the ground, motionless.
Jiang Ye took out a new magazine from his waist and reloaded his assault rifle. These large beasts were tough-skinned, and one magazine might not be enough to kill them.
He cautiously approached.
The black bull's eyes were wide open, its mouth agape, revealing its white teeth. There were still remnants of snow oil grass between its teeth.
It was truly dead.
Jiang Ye reached out and patted the dairy cow's head. "Don't be scared. I killed this bad guy. I'll get rid of him now."
The dairy cow silently shed tears, snorting repeatedly from its nostrils, clearly frightened.
Jiang Ye grabbed the bull's horns and tried to drag it out.
But this black wild bull was too heavy, probably weighing nearly eight hundred kilograms. He couldn't move it at all.
With no other option, Jiang Ye returned to the base and retrieved his samurai sword.
In the cowshed, he carefully cut the black wild bull into pieces.
He first cut off the entire head, then the legs and tail.
Finally, using his pickaxe and samurai sword in coordination, he spent over an hour cutting the black wild bull's carcass into more than thirty pieces.
He carried the pieces back to the base one by one, washed the cowshed with water, and rinsed away the bloodstains.
With the carcass cleared away, the cows became noticeably calmer and began to lower their heads to eat grass again.
Jiang Ye exited the cowshed. This time, he learned his lesson and locked the door, to prevent any more impudent wild bulls from barging in.
Back at the base, he put the bull's head into the trading bay.
After a brief scan, a message appeared:
[Item: Dangerous Black Head]
[Item Description: Dangerous Black Wild Bull. It has two sets of vital organs that alternate use, strong reproductive capacity, tough muscles, and a violent temper. The bones and horns of the bull's head are valuable and can be used in medicine. The meat is poisonous.]
[Estimated Price: 120,000 yuan]
