125 Chapter 125 The Manor (2)
Seeing this, Chang Shun quickly led the couple to the cowshed. Zhou Ying thought it would be dirty and messy inside, but she was surprised to find it neat and tidy. Except for the lack of modern facilities, it was as good as a modern farm.
Although the ground in the shed was not made of cement, it was still paved with stone. The ground was covered with straw, and some lime powder was also sprinkled on it to disinfect and dispel moisture.
The key was that there was no other animal smell besides the smell of dry grass, and this was rare. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
When Gu Chengrui came in, he observed the cow’s health. He did not expect to find two sick bulls, which looked like they were injured.
!!
He called over a worker who was cleaning the shed and asked, “What’s going on with these two bulls? Were they fighting?”
“Yes, they did fight. I didn’t expect them to go into heat suddenly, and since they didn’t have the time to breed, so...” The employee said with a sheepish smile.
“Then inform the doctor here to treat it quickly. Look at the wound; it’s starting to rot. If you don’t treat it soon, they will be dead.” Gu Chengrui pointed at the wounds.
“This... This is indeed our negligence. We’ll go and find a doctor now.” The employee’s face turned pale.
“Alright, leave it to me. But how do you plan to build it? How big a place is your estimate?”
“The single dormitory being the size of this house is enough.
“If they wanted to settle down here, they could inform us in advance, and we would build them according to their family’s population.
“However, we will have to make it clear in advance that it could only be their immediate family, which means it only includes the husband, wife, and child. Moreover, they have to guarantee to work at the manor.
“For a single person like you who has lived here for a long time, I was thinking of a place with an inner and outer room. In terms of size, it should be about two and a half times the size of this house, and that should be enough.”
Uncle Nian replied, “It doesn’t need to be that big. A small outer room will do, as we just need a place for our guests.”
“It’s about the same. So, just take my suggestion.”
The old man didn’t say anything else.
After that, Zhou Ying learned about the overall situation of the manor from Chang Shun and Uncle Nian, while Gu Chengrui went out to find the doctor. He wanted to know the cattle’s physical condition; on the other hand, he also wanted to exchange his experiences as a doctor.
In the end, Gu Chengrui told the doctor the formula for traditional disinfection and sterilization. He suggested the doctor spray it in the sheds from time to time to prevent wounds from getting infected again.
