"How do you deal with it? Could it be that they can't be emasculated?"

Zhao Si scratched his head and said his bold guess.

"Yes, that's it. ”

"What?

I nodded, "Actually, in the countryside, people will also castrate pigs in heat, and they are piglets." ”

Because pigs come into heat very early, if they are not castrated, they will bite their own kind to death.

I've seen how to castrate pigs, the methods are a little cruel, the screams of the piglets can make you unbearable to watch, and the people who specialize in this kind of thing are called pig knockers.

Because of the cruelty of the methods, the reputation of the pig knocker is not very good.

It can be seen from one thing, that is, if some children in the countryside lose their temper and cry non-stop, adults will scare him that the pig knocker is coming, and the child will be so frightened that he will stop crying immediately.

Of course, I haven't witnessed this with my own eyes, it's just hearsay, and whether it's true or not remains to be verified.

"So you're going to castrate them?"

Zhao Si looked at those moose, and always felt that this method was a little unreliable.

"Not really, I'm going to use herbs to deprive them of a particular function. ”

"What's the difference between this method and castration?"

"There's no difference, it's just that it's safer. ”

Just kidding, it's strange if you don't get kicked to death by a moose when you use a knife......

It is more tiring to separate the animals at night, and it feels more tiring than with children, who can still understand what you say, but those animals do not understand at all, and run away as soon as you get close to it.

"Hey, you stink!"

Nie Chunxian pinched his nose and took a few steps back, I sniffed my hand, and sure enough, there was an inexplicable smell, which should have come from those animals.

"You don't have a bathtub, can you give it to me?"

After a tired day of back pain, I want to take a good soak.

"That's not good, it's our girl's family, and no one is allowed to touch it, touch it!"

"But the bathroom was built by a man, why are you using it?"

"Don't be forceful! No, no, no!"

......

That night I picked two strong moose and put medicine on the forage they were eating, and if they ate them, they would be castrated by the medicine.

But their sense of smell is quite sensitive, and they don't eat when they smell an abnormal smell.

"What can I do?"

Zhao Si looked at the two moose who were unwilling to eat grass and was worried, people are not so stupid, this method does not seem to work.

"It's too much medicine, right? ”

This time the dose was reduced to a tenth, and the two moose lowered their heads and sniffed the hay on the ground, and after a moment they began to eat.

"One-tenth of the dose is too little, and it is estimated that it will take two or three days to feed them. ”

"It's okay if it's longer, I'm afraid it's useless. ”

The digestive ability of animals is not comparable to that of humans, especially for herbivores, their digestive ability for vegetarian food is not generally strong, even if there are irritating plants, they are fine if they eat them, so I am afraid that those herbs will not work.

"What then?"

Zhao Si felt that it was really nerve-wracking, and he didn't expect this first step to be so difficult.

"Let's wait for two days, if it's really useless, think of another way. ”

Camp.

I was a little thirsty so I went to the kitchen to drink water, but I didn't expect to meet Lin Ya, who I hadn't seen for a few days.

Her face was completely healed, and if you didn't look closely, she couldn't tell any signs of injury.

"Little Brother Su, thank you. ”

Seeing that I wanted to drink water, she offered to hand me a glass of water.

"Does your face still hurt?"

I took the water cup and asked casually, there are still others in the kitchen, Nie Chunxian and they are cooking supper, they didn't dare to eat supper when they didn't have enough food before, but now that the food is sufficient, there is no need to treat themselves badly.

"It's all right. ”

Lin Ya shook her head a little shyly, to be honest, it is hard for me to believe that such a girl would have suicidal thoughts until now.

Maybe it's because they value their appearance more than their lives.

"What's so delicious? ”

When the lid of the pot was lifted, a stream of hot air sprayed up, and you could see that it was bones boiled inside, and it turned out that it was bone broth for supper.

"Boiled pork ribs, put some wild fruits, the taste should be okay. ”

Nie Chunxian took the spoon and rummaged in the pot, this was the first time she cooked, and it was all done by Xiaoqian and a few of them before, because she couldn't.

In the past, she didn't even bother to make instant noodles.

"It's the first time Mr. Nie cooks, and I really doubt that this thing will cause stomach trouble if I eat it. ”

"Bah! Shut your foul mouth!"

After the pork rib soup was stewed, the first bowl of soup was given to me, because there was no seasoning, so I put some wild fruits and saccharin, so it tasted sweet.

It's the first time I've drunk the sweet pork rib soup, and although it tastes a little worse than the pork rib soup with salt, it's still delicious.

"How's it going?"

I nodded, tilted my head and drank the pork rib soup in the bowl, since it was a supper, I just drank a bowl casually.

Besides, drinking too much sweet things is easy to urinate.

You haven't eaten salt for a long time, and in the long run, you're afraid you'll have problems, such as goiter and other diseases.

So I'll have to think about getting some salt.

The next day I took a few people to the beach, where there were some potholes, and the sea water left behind by the low tide would be evaporated by the sun, leaving some salt lumps in the pits.

And that's what we're looking for.

Drying salt in seawater wastes a lot of time at the beach, so we pick up ready-made pieces of salt.

Such lumps of salt are unpurified coarse salt, some of which resemble the plate salt that people used to eat, and all we have to do is pound them into powder.

"Little Brother Su, can you throw such salt directly into the pot?"

Xiao Qian looked at the coarse salt that had been filled with a jar, these salts were not snow-white like purified refined salt, but were a little yellow and looked dirty.

"Yes, but there are a lot of impurities in it, so you have to filter it with a strip of cloth to make it safer. ”

The cloth strip acts as a filter and can filter most of the impurities.

So the hole in the strip of cloth is as small as possible, so I thought of a good thing.

By the waterhole.

"Pure Immortal, didn't you have a pair of stockings before, are you still there?"

"Yes, but why are you asking this?"

"Anyway, you don't wear it, so you might as well use it as a strainer to filter coarse salt. ”

Nie Chunxian looked at me incredulously, "My stockings are very expensive, I usually don't want to wear them, I'm afraid of scratching them, you actually want to use them to filter salt!"

"You don't lack such a pair of stockings, and besides, like primitive people now, there is no girl in the camp who still wears stockings, what else do you pay attention to?"

And I haven't disliked that the stockings were worn......

Of course, when straining coarse salt, I have to use a bamboo tube as a cover so that I don't get seen.
