Chapter Ninety-Four: Castration

It must be too late for the guests in the city to go back, so when they send off a waiter, Hachiko leads everyone back to prepare for rest.

Looking at the chickens and ducks in the open dam, Hachiko sighed: "It's not easy, how could there be such a big gift in the past......"

Su You said: "I'm afraid it's not okay to lose here, the wild things in the mountains will not come." Let's all move to the yard. ”

Fortunately, the fish have been raised, and in the inlet ditch of the pool in front of the ancestral hall, Zhang Sheng commanded people to build a weir with stones and mud, and erected a fence to close a channel, and now there are hundreds of carp and grass carp in it.

The poultry were moved into the outer courtyard, and the babies, including the eight princes and eight mothers, each took out a toothbrush and flossing handkerchief, brushed their teeth, washed their faces and feet.

Only Ersu doesn't have these, and the two can't help but look at each other, why did we become dirt buns in the end? No, let's get two sets too!

The next day, everyone got up early, and there was no way, and the chickens in the front yard were crowing one by one, and they couldn't sleep if they wanted to.

Su You straightened up from the quilt and said hatefully: "I'm angry, only one of the strongest roosters will be left, and the rest will be disposed of!" ”

Hachiko slapped him on the head: "You can eat so much?!" Isn't that a bad thing?! ”

Shi Wei was eating and laughing on the side.

When the three of them came out of the inner courtyard, the yard of a new house in Bagong was full of chicken and duck droppings, and they couldn't help but have a headache: "You have to think of ideas......

Su You touched his chin: "There is a way, but you have to waste a bottle of good wine......

After breakfast, Su You sent Baniang and Twenty-Seven Niang to the boat, and also wrapped a pack of crispy meatballs, sugar and oil fruits, etc., plus a few fat chickens and ducks, which is a benefit but not a fee.

However, everyone's favorite is the white water that I tasted yesterday, and Su You had to take the babies up the mountain to scavenge all the edible white water in the swamp before sending them away.

Su Shi reluctantly pulled Su You: "Mingrun, there are two pigs...... When was that? ”

Su You put his hand on his head: "When you worship your ancestors, you still have three months to go." I'm sorry to ask you to wait......"

Sending away the foodie, Su You took Shi Wei's hand and came back, and asked her to call the little butcher to learn the craft at the entrance of the village, and go home to prepare first.

The preparation is not complicated, and there are still two small scalpels used in the steer half a year ago hidden at home.

With the murder weapon, modern castration surgery for roosters also requires tweezers, flaring forceps, small diggings, and probes.

Tweezers and probes are readily available, small digs and flare pliers are not.

However, it is difficult to resist Su You, the old pig maker in the village, a bamboo bow can replace the flaring pliers, and a brown silk can replace a small digger.

Take a bottle of Yongchun dew, add quicklime powder to it, and cover it again.

Quicklime powder reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide, which removes the water from the alcohol and produces pure alcohol.

The water is then boiled and distilled water is obtained through a condenser.

After three parts of pure alcohol and one part of distilled water, a medical alcohol with an alcohol concentration of 75 percent was obtained.

Then there is the chicken control device, which is actually a thin bamboo pole, which is bent into a U-shape by fire.

Take a piece of bamboo, also bake it into an arc, tie ropes on both sides, and tie two small bamboo sticks to the head of the rope to make a bamboo hook.

It is necessary to ensure that when the two bamboo hooks are hooked together, the bamboo bow can tighten the line, but the elastic force should not be too large.

It is also necessary to use a thin bamboo pipe to poke the inner hole, tie a brown silk at one end of the bamboo pipe with fine twine, and then bend the remaining filament part of the brown silk back into the bamboo pipe, and stretch out a section from the other end to become a brown silk sleeve.

With everything done, all that remains is to sharpen the knife, sharpen the iron needle, and slash twice with a wood knife at a point on the edge of the needle to produce two small barbs.

Finally wash everything, put them in water and boil them to sterilize.

After a while, Shi Wei jumped up and down and led the butcher to come, two, one big and one small.

Tu Zi saw Su You and smiled: "Little Tuzi is a hand, I'm afraid I can't understand it, you teach me first, teach me first." ”

Su You smiled: "Of course it's better for you to come, isn't it still afraid that you adults won't believe me." ”

Tu Zi waved his big hand: "Who still doesn't believe in the oil baby, that is the Han Bao mallet!" Several orange trees at home are alive and well, and I'm still waiting to eat sweet oranges next year! ”

Su You said: "Okay, Brother Gou, you go to my room to get the drawings, and then lead the little sisters to build a chicken shed and a chicken coop." I'll teach the butcher steer first. ”

The villagers are not stupid, and there are many roosters who send them as gifts, and the hens have to keep their own eggs.

And the chickens are not very big, Su You estimated that he touched it, and it was not clear that the chicken babies sent by Cheng Wenying grew up.

They are still poor, and the villagers can't get any decent courtesy.

However, the operation was just right, grabbed a U-shaped bamboo pole to jam the wings, the U-shaped bend pinned to the head, and then the legs were straightened and tied between the curved bamboo poles with ropes, and the little rooster could not move.

Su You said: "The key to this step is that the legs should not be stretched too straight, so that the muscles are more stretched, the pressure in the stomach is less, and the intestines will not be squeezed out of the wound." ”

Just this little trick, if the butcher learns it, the craft of chopping chickens will be able to stand alone.

This is Su You's last life with two bottles of good wine and the old pig maker in the village in exchange, the general craftsman will pull the chicken feet too tight, often accidents, only the old pig maker will not, Su You felt very curious, so he pestered the pig maker to ask the reason.

If it is a little more useful, people will definitely not say, but there is no chance to plow chickens in later generations, and good breed chickens can grow nearly ten catties without plowing, and they cut a chicken for sixteen or seventeen catties, who will sell it? !

The is set up, and Suyou begins to demonstrate the operation.

First of all, Su You pressed his finger on the back of the rooster: "The last intercostal space of the chicken, one tail finger width from the midline of the back, is the position of the knife." You touch it. ”

When the butcher was very clear about the location, Su You plucked the feathers around that part, and then wet the surroundings with water: "Wet the feathers, wipe them around, and the wound will be exposed." ”

Then began to disinfect with alcohol: "This is disinfectant wine, the degree is too high to drink, this thing is very expensive now, but you have to do it if you want insurance." ”

"If you don't want insurance, you can spit and smear some grass ash after the operation, but the survival rate is not guaranteed."

A small opening of one centimeter was opened along the intercostal direction, and the bamboo bow was taken to hang the small bamboo hook on both sides of the incision, and the bamboo bow opened the incision naturally, and then used a knife to expand a little opening, cut the inner membrane, and then introduced the abdominal cavity with a brown silk sleeve, and used the brown silk to cover the junction between the mesangium and the back, tie it tightly and pull it off, and use an iron needle to tie it out.

Taking out one and then taking the other, Su You said to Tuzi: "If the rooster is bigger, then take the top edge first, and then the bottom edge, so convenient." ”

"If the rooster is small, then take the bottom edge first, and then the top edge, so that it will not be blocked by bleeding and cannot be operated."

After speaking, he took off the bamboo bow and smeared the wound again with alcohol: "Okay." You do the rest, and I'll guide you on the side. ”

The whole process was very light and smooth, Su You took the little rooster off the bamboo bow and put it in the bamboo cage: "After castration, the little rooster needs to be placed in a clean, dry and quiet place, carefully cared for for three or four days, and the wound will grow." ”

The next thing is to do it, and Su You is directing beside him, while reminding him of the precautions.

For example, the incision site must be accurate. If the incision is made before, it will injure the lungs and cause death.

For example, if the incision is deviated, it may hurt the thigh muscles and affect walking.

For example, the movement should be steady, accurate, and light, so as not to cause heavy bleeding and death.

For example, before the wound heals, it is necessary to check frequently, and if it is found that there is a puff under the skin, it should be punctured with a needle to deflate.

If the wound is suppurated, it should be cleaned with saline and given medicine......

The butcher has a good technique and learns quickly, and soon a dozen little roosters are disposed of.

The butcher was holding a knife and touching left and right: "There seem to be a few ...... over there"

Su You said, "Uh...... Those ones are growing strong, and I plan to keep them for seeding, and slowly make good seeds. ”

The butcher pointed to a pile of ducks: "There are a lot of male ducks there!" ”

Su You finally rolled his eyes: "You're still addicted, aren't you?" Male ducks don't fight! After learning the craft, this set of guys will also send you, remember to boil water for a while before each operation to disinfect, brown silk If you can find the horsetail, it is better to replace it with horsetail silk. ”

Tuzi began to look left and right again: "I remember the ...... you came back from riding a donkey"

Su You got up: "Don't make trouble!" That's Zizhan's heart, delicious and drunk, and I'm going to return it in a week...... Forget it, there are still two mules tied to the back of the ancestral hall, you go and pick a few, just be careful not to get kicked......"

Tuzi thanked him again and again, smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyebrows, went home straight and castrated his chickens, raised them fat, and sent them as a thank you gift during the New Year.
