Chapter 1444： Radish and goat milk products

Marin was obviously reluctant to be the head of injustice and accept the copper coins made of cheap Indian copper. In fact, if India's copper prices are used, copper coins should depreciate several times. For example, like the Ming Dynasty, one or two silver coins were exchanged for 1,000 copper coins.

If you accept the copper coins minted by Spanish Indian copper, it is equivalent to the Spanish earning a difference of several times. Although the relationship is good, Marin is not willing to be pitted. As for the opening to buy merino sheep, it is completely a lion's mouth. Because, the Spanish cannot agree.

The Spaniards treated Merino sheep as treasures, holding them in their hands. Marin had thousands of merino sheep on the side of Ayoun, but Spain did not allow him to sell merino wool. Therefore, Malinkong has high-quality wool that cannot be sold on the European market.

Fortunately, Marin uses a hybrid of British ewe and merino sheep, the North Sea Sheep, which is a sheep with very good wool quality. Although the quality of wool is not comparable to that of merino sheep, it can be higher than that of British wool. However, in the past few years, only 30,000 or 40,000 sheep of this high-quality breed have been desperately expanding their numbers, which is not enough to impact the European market.

However, with the rise of East Frisian milk sheep, residents of the North Sea country seem to prefer East Frisian milk sheep. The reason is that East Frisian sheep can provide a lot of dairy products to provide stable food and nutrient sources for sheep farmers.

In this era of expensive food, any food is precious. The goat milk products provided by East Frisian sheep are obviously a low-cost, highly nutritious food. Moreover, it is cheap. After all, sheep need only eat grass.

Now, sheep farmers are lining up to raise East Frisian sheep instead of North Sea sheep. Fortunately, most of the peasants were serfs this year, and Marin forced the promotion so that the North Sea sheep would not be left unattended.

Before going to Daming, Marin selected a batch of ewes with the best milk production capacity of East Friesian sheep for optimal breeding. Now, in the past three or four years, those 1,000 appearances have averaged two births per year and two to three lambs. And lambs grow up in a year, and they can produce lambs ... so, after three or four years, there are tens of thousands. However, after re-screening, only 5,000 ewe can keep more than 500 pounds of goat milk per year. For other ewes, the production capacity is slightly degraded.

And the 5000 handed over milk produced by the privately produced less than 500 pounds per year is terrible. In three or four years, the number has increased to more than 50,000. There are more than 30,000 ewes alone. Moreover, there are more than 7,000 milk cows with an annual output of more than 500 pounds. Then, these high-yield ewes were taken back by Marin to concentrate on breeding to avoid breed degradation.

However, there are still more than 30,000 ewes living in the East Frisian sheep. These East Frisian sheep, which produce less than 500 pounds of milk per year, are very popular among the people.

This is because all farmers and manors that raise East Frisian sheep have inexhaustible cheese and cream, and endless goat milk. The children ate more dairy products and were taller.

Therefore, the manor underneath is waiting for Marin's breeding center to promote the high-yielding East Frisian sheep to the public. In this way, everyone in the manor may be able to eat dairy products. Unlike now, because of limited production, only children can be given priority.

...

In fact, Marin is also anxious. He also hopes to obtain stable and high-product varieties as soon as possible. However, stable varieties cannot be cultivated in a few years. Only if the production capacity is stable for several generations can it be regarded as a high-product variety. Otherwise, suddenly a generation breaks out. Just like Yao Ming grew 2 meters 26 big, can you say that the Chinese are giants? Therefore, we must rely on several generations of observation and cultivation to obtain truly stable and high-yielding varieties ...

It's just that there is a big problem with goat milk now, that is, the smell of goat fat is relatively heavy. Those who eat too much goat's milk always have a smell of milk, which is very unpleasant. Unlike noble children like Caesar, they drink milk every day and smell better on their bodies.

How to remove these smells? Marin suddenly thought of radish. The radish and lamb are cooked together, which can absorb the smell of the mutton. Cooking with goat's milk is also a reason.

Last year, after returning from Daming, Marin brought back the radish seeds. Later, people had planted and promoted several estates near Wilhelmshaven where they hid in the beginning, but I do n’t know what happened now ...

So he called Kohler and asked him to send someone to see ...

Soon, the dispatched people returned. The report said that there were a few radishes in Zhuangzi over there. It ’s just that now the manor owners do n’t know what to do with the radishes, and they do n’t dare to decide, so they piled up the radishes in the warehouse, and they rotted a lot ... Of course, there is no problem with the preservation of seeds It ’s just that the radish itself is intolerant ...

"I wipe ..." Marin burst out, blaming himself for carelessness, and he almost forgot those carrots.

According to a report from the dispatched person, three stubble radishes have been planted in the local area. On average, one stubble was planted in more than three months and many radishes were harvested. However, only the stubble harvested last winter was preserved. Most of the first two crops are rotten, and those manor servants are afraid to eat ...

"How many turnips are stored now?" Marin asked.

The person sent to investigate thought for a while and said:

"There are probably millions of pounds. The thing called radish is too productive, and it can be planted in two or three months. But, the locals do n’t dare to eat it. Because, this is something you have personally ordered, Dagong. They eat ... "

"Then why don't they report to me that the radish is ripe?" Marin was a little depressed-how much radish had to be wasted ...

"Ah ..." The person reporting the report paused and said:

"They said ~ www.novelhall.com ~ that the little manor is in charge and is not qualified to report to Grand Duke ..."

When Malin thought about it, it was true that the small manor was in charge of affairs, which was equivalent to the village head of later generations. Have you seen the village chief report to the national leader? Therefore, in the final analysis, he was negligent and did not send someone to follow up.

In fact, with the radish seeds now available in those estates, if there is enough land to grow, millions of pounds of radish can be produced each season. Now, the reason is only one million pounds, because they did not dare to expand the planting area ...

...

After realizing his mistakes, Marin immediately sent people to transport the radishes to the farmers who raised the sheep for cooking with goat milk. After cooking, the goat milk will remove the odor. The radish that has absorbed the smell of radish can be used as feed for animals ...

In addition, Marin also asked some of the radish-growing estates to divide some of the seeds and distribute them to farmers who raised East Frisian milk sheep and let them grow their own. In this way, they can grow and harvest radishes by themselves, and cook goat milk with their own radishes. Goat milk cooked with radish has no smell, the processed dairy products will be more popular ... And children who eat goat milk without smell will not only be healthy, but they will not be unpleasant. Smell ...
