In the early morning, the fog has not cleared yet.
A dilapidated walking tractor tied to a wooden guardrail made a circle in the front village, and then stopped in the aisle outside the wheat field in Houzhuang. A tall white pig with foam at its mouth from time to time.
When you come to Chenwangzhuang to breed pigs, you don’t need to ask any questions. They will be bred to Wang Lishan’s family first.
The pigs of Wang Lishan's family are not only used for selling meat. In years when pig prices are good, they also specialize in raising sows to give birth to piglets.
Each litter contains about ten piglets.
Sometimes a litter of pigs can be sold for two thousand yuan.
The price of pigs this year is not very good, but there are many pigs picked up in the countryside.
So the pig breeders also raised their tails, asking them to breed a lot of pigs.
Wang Lishan was called out. He had a big bald head and walked around the tractor with his hands behind his back.
The boar in the car was spinning impatiently, and from time to time he would press his mouth against the guardrail. Two long pouches hung between his hind legs, which were very conspicuous. Occasionally, a bright red stick protruded from his belly. The meat awl stretches and contracts.
Wang Lishan couldn't help nodding and laughing.
Then he pointed at the pig boy and said, "Baby, call your uncle Fugui."
Invite Chen Ling to come to the market. No matter how popular this pig breeder is, he won't dare to trick them. Bar.
But when Chen Ling led Hei Wa over, there were already many people surrounding the wheat field.
The man who was breeding pigs was asking Wang Lishan for money: "Give me money first, and then I will breed the pigs. If you don't give me money, I won't be worthy."
"Are you being unreasonable? You have to give me money first. Whoever has a pig that is so worthy can't say that! What if you don't come here if you don't deserve it?"
"It's not my fault that I don't deserve it. , you came to our Kuliu County to find me, I can’t go all the way in vain, the tractor is burning oil.”
Although the man is from another county, he doesn’t show any timidity at all.
When he said this, the crowd exploded.
A pig’s tail will be more upturned than a human’s!
Back then, Yang Gangdan was not so arrogant.
Wang Lishan’s face also looked ugly. He was the one who found this man. He had inquired with relatives in Kuliu County beforehand and also went to see it. This man’s big boar was indeed good. After mating, the sow Each litter can give birth to thirteen or fourteen people.
The more you give birth to, the more money you get from selling one. The more you give birth to, the more money you get from selling one.
"You are a breeder of pigs, and you are crazy about it. What are you crazy about? What are you so crazy about?" Wang Lishan was very angry.
Looking like he was rolling up his sleeves to start a fight.
People at this time have such a temper. How can they be bullied by people from other counties in front of their own homes?
"Who is crazy? In our county, this is the rule, and your relatives didn't explain it clearly to you? It's still early in the morning, and I drove a tractor all the way to the mountains... Forget it, If you agree, pay the money to breed the pig. If you don’t agree, I will leave... Next time, don’t go to our county to look for me..."
The man who breeds the pig is also afraid of saying no. Qingdao was beaten.
Not to mention that there was Chen Ling with two scary big dogs watching next to him, so he just didn't want to match.
It's just a waste of time.
At this time, Wang Lishan was losing face.
Don’t look at him being out of tune all day long, he likes to make fun of others.
But sometimes the more this kind of person is, the more respect they have, and they even get blown away by other pig farmers in the village.
"You can't leave, isn't it just fifty yuan? I'll give it to you first, and I'll get the money for you."
Wang Lishan glared at the man, turned around and said loudly Walking home, he couldn't help but whisper: "It only cost five yuan to get a pig in the past. It was still expensive and stupid. In the past two years, it increased to fifteen or twenty yuan. This year, his grandma It’s fifty yuan...
From now on, I won’t raise pigs anymore, and I’ll just take the big boars and breed them with pigs. ”
Chen Ling watched from the side and said nothing.
No way, he really doesn’t understand the secrets of breeding pigs.
He hasn’t had time to go yet. The villager asked Guo Baolai.
At this moment, Wang Lishan lost his usual playful smile and handed a few pieces of money to the pig man: "Here, fifty, take it!" ”
"Okay, let the sow out!"
The man who groomed the pig was also unambiguous. He clicked and stuffed it into his pocket.
Wang Lishan’s family raises a lot of pigs. If there is only one old sow, he can just drive the boar into the pig pen.
But if there are too many pigs in the pig pen, it will easily affect the distribution of pigs, and in the end there will be no pigs.
Wang Lishan turned around and opened the door of the pigsty, and dragged a sow out by its ear.
"Come on, my pig has been in the pen for several days. It's a good time to mate."
As the old saying goes, old sows mate early and young mates late. Old sows should mate early when they are in heat. For gilts, the later the better.
Wang Lishan’s family changes a batch of pigs every two years, and it goes without saying that these are also gilts.
This is the advantage of raising gilts in the countryside. You are not afraid of being mated late after going into heat.
“You’re not a bad pig, but you’re still not as good as a foreign pig... Just watch it. Once you’ve raised a foreign pig, you’ll know the benefits of it... This thing is fat and it’s making noises. One is fast, and it can be ready for sale in half a year.”
The man who served the pig took the money and had a smile on his face.
Of course, pig feed has not yet been developed, various hormones have not bloomed everywhere, and white pigs have not been bred for several generations. What he said about being slaughtered early is mostly bragging.
Wang Lishan and others were dubious and turned their attention to Chen Ling.
Chen Ling nodded slightly. Foreign pigs fatten quickly and produce a lot of meat. This is undeniable.
I just said: "I have eaten a lot of foreign pork, but it is not as delicious as our local pigs, but raising pigs is expensive, just like raising foreign chickens and selling foreign eggs. There is no problem with foreign pigs. ”
What he said was equivalent to nonsense in later generations.
But at this time, the villagers were relieved after hearing this.
In their view, it is good to be able to sell early and make more money, just like foreign chickens that lay eggs quickly and frequently. This is well known.
Local eggs are more nutritious and good for health, and they know that.
They have known for a long time that no one has the ability to raise native chickens so well and lay eggs so diligently.
Just grab one that makes money.
But when it came time to mate the pigs, it was not as good as everyone imagined.
At first, as soon as the wooden fence of the tractor was opened, the big boar with foam at its mouth jumped down and rushed towards the sow.
I licked and sniffed the sow’s butt again...
“Look at how anxious you are, you haven’t even eaten, how can you lie down on it? Lie down, can you get in?"
I often engage in the business of breeding pigs. The man who breeds pigs is arrogant and speaks very nasty words.
It made everyone laugh and say anything. While laughing, he took a short whip as long as a foot and waved it a few times to drive the boar aside.
Let Wang Lishan prepare some food for his pigs.
We had traveled a long way before coming here, and the pig had nothing to eat.
Breeding pigs is very physically demanding.
Not only eat food, but also eat good food so as not to hurt the pigs.
Only in this way can you work for a few more years and earn a few more years of money.
Otherwise, you will be dead in less than a year.
Those who specialize in raising breeding pigs even have to mix a few raw eggs into the pig trough every day to supplement their nutrition.
Wang Lishan had already paid fifty yuan, but he couldn't bear to give the pig good food. It would be good if he could make it full. He took the food bucket that he usually feeds to the pig and gave it to the pig man to feed the pig.
When you are full, let the boar go and make out with the sow.
The result...
The big boar lay down several times in a row, and the sows all ran away with their buttocks stuck out.
The big boar lay panting.
The man who was tending the pigs was also so tired that he was sweating profusely.
“Brother, your sow doesn’t accept it!”
Wang Lishan has been watching from the side, and he also frowned, thinking that shouldn’t be the case, this sow is making trouble! If you have a pen, don't you mate the boar if you have one?
“If you don’t admit it, is it because your foreign pig is too big and scares our pigs...Well, you can think of a way...”
“Brother, you The domestic sow refuses to mate, but my boar refuses to lie down! What can I do about this? ”
The man who worked with the pigs wiped his hands on his coat and said, "When my pigs have a rest, I will find other pigs and give it a try for free. Do you think it will work?"
"That's okay too."< br>
Wang Lishan thought for a while, and then went home and poured the man a glass of boiled water so that he could have a rest too.
They rested, and Chen Ling saw the sun rising, so he led the two dogs back to the village yard to tidy up.
Take out the two bags of dates from the east room and dry them.
Even though the weather is getting colder now, there are still a lot of flies.
For example, red dates, as well as medicinal herbs such as wolfberry and licorice at home, emit a sweet smell after being dried, which is very attractive to flies.
The flies in this season are so stupid.
Like a grasshopper after autumn.
The movements are slow, staring in confusion, as if the soul is missing, and cannot be driven away.
The deworming medicine kits provided at home are not useful.
This was how Chen Ling used to dry wolfberry and medicinal herbs at the farm, so he had to cover it with a window screen.
After covering it, check whether there are any mouse holes in the house.
Hearing the excitement outside and shouting coming, he got up and went out.
When I went out, I saw on the north slope, Wang Lishan and the others were driving the big boar to the elementary school with the pig husbandry.
Chen Ling looked over and saw that he was going to the old courtyard of Grandpa Fourth's house.
The pigs raised by Chen Yongsheng’s family there.
In the pigsty over there, there was only one sow, and the remaining three were all slaughtered eunuch pigs.
At this time, most of the villagers had had breakfast, and more and more people came to watch the fun.
Even the Chen Ling family, Wang Chunyuan's family, and my wife, who are even less popular than the Guang family, also came.
All in all, there were quite a lot of people watching.
But what’s puzzling is.
It still won’t work this time.
The boar still lays down on her, and the sow sticks her butt out and hides, preventing the boar from mating.
This is strange.
Chen Yongsheng frowned and said, "Don't we, the local pigs, not recognize you, the foreign pigs?!"
"Impossible, there are so many families in our county, there are so many local pigs, If you ask Tateyama from your village, he has relatives there..." The pig-wielding man argued loudly.
"Hey, whoever has no relatives in Kuliu County, I tell you, don't fool people."
The villagers warned.
“Oh my God, I’m really not to blame for this. So many people in your village have seen it. My big boar has fallen down so many times, and everything is sticking out. You guys The sows in the village are not allowed to enter!
Why am I the one fooling people!
You have to be reasonable! "
The man who breeds pigs is extremely anxious. What he saw before his eyes, how can he say that his breeding pigs are not good?
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I will give you some ideas. A trick. ”
Chen Ling rubbed his chin, remembering what his father told him about breeding large animals when he was vaccinated.
Sometimes you need someone to help you.
This is literally what it means to get started and follow.
For example, some males are uncooperative and do not have worldly desires. They still need help from others to stimulate them with their hands.
Although it's a bit eye-catching.
But this was a common occurrence in the early animal husbandry industry, and it was also an effective native method.
"Okay, stop shouting. Fugui is here to help. Listen to what Fugui has to say!"
As soon as they heard that Chen Ling was about to take action, the group of people fell silent.
Chen Ling greeted Chen Yongsheng and the pig man and told them how to operate later.
After hearing his method, Chen Yongsheng was not doing well. The man who married the pig turned his head to look at Chen Ling in surprise. He couldn't figure out how this gentle young man who looked like a college student could think of it. Such a crude method.
What a guy, we actually let us hold down the sow and stuff the boar in.
His grandma has been breeding pigs for so long, but I never thought of this method.
I learned it, I really learned it. (End of this chapter)
