After the bean seedlings were planted, Chen Erlin and the three of them left Fangjia Village and went to other villages in Xiaohe Town to look for piglets, and it was not so easy to buy back more than 30 little piglets.

Although Fang Jing doesn't know the price of piglets at the moment, it shouldn't be too expensive, at least Fang Jing believes that it won't be too expensive, the rich don't eat it, the poor can't afford it, and it is estimated that not many people will go to large-scale breeding, pigs are not animals that everyone likes, but they are not like sheep, cows, horses and donkeys.

"Jing Wazi, why is this pig shed so good? Anyway, the pigs are dirty, why do you want to make them so clean? Zhang Xiaoxia looked at Fang Jing and cleaned the built pig shed, even the ground was paved with flat stones, and a large group of village women stood on the side, surrounding Fang Jing to introduce the precautions for raising pigs.

"Uncle, this pig is not much different from cows, donkeys and horses, they also like to be clean, but they don't want to sleep in a very dirty place every day, they also want to live comfortably, they can't get it themselves, so we have to help them get it, and besides, if the livestock shed is clean, it can reduce diseases, and the dirtier it is, the easier it is to cause diseases." Fang Jing looked at Zhang Xiaoxia and the other women, and talked carefully about the management of the pig house.

"Oh, Jing Wazi, do you have to clean it every day? Do you want to bathe them? Although Zhang Xiaoxia agreed with what Fang Jing said, if she really wanted to raise pigs like two bears, it would be a delicate job.

"Uncle, you can't be like this, how can you clean it every day, as long as it's not very dirty, just clean it properly, pig manure still has to be cleaned up, the straw in the corner can be cleaned up after a while, and if it's wet, it's a good fertilizer for the farmer." Fang Jing said to everyone, and at the same time, he did not forget to inspect the pig shed.

"Jing Wazi, you said that this pig should be fed some grass and some finely chopped chaff? And to feed the pigs grain? Cook some more beans for them? Can it grow so big? Isn't that a waste? Aunt Xiu just listened to Fang Jing's introduction of pig raising methods on the side, and felt that it was not very difficult, but it was a little distressing to eat rice and beans.

"Aunt Xiu, how do you say this, there is input to have a harvest, just like we plant beans, you have to give up the land and time and seedlings to have beans harvested, this pig is the same, you have to be willing to give it to eat, at the end of the year, more than 100 catties of pigs, kill how to eat how you want." Fang Jing knew that everyone was worried about food, and no one was willing to share the existing grain to raise a pig, which was definitely not worth it in the hearts of the people of Fangjia Village.

"Jing Wazi, can I not feed food? I'll just feed some beans, or do I tell my baby to get some wild vegetables for him to eat? "The fat aunt's family is even more reluctant to have food at home, what kind of life was it before, and what kind of life is it now, I know it most clearly.

"You can do this yourself, I mean you can dig some wild vegetables and grass without wasting food, these are all okay, but they must be fed to grow up, if they are not full, they have to go hungry and lose weight, you know this truth." Fang Jing knew that he would definitely not be able to say anything, but he also knew the importance of food.

"That's good, that's good, as long as you don't waste food, you can do anything." After hearing this, everyone's hearts also fell to the ground.

"Oh, and ah, the piglets you buy have to be taken to Uncle Yuanliang's house first, this is discussed with Uncle Yuanliang of the village, the main thing is to sterilize the piglets, otherwise, the piglets can eat and make trouble, but the meat is not long." Fang Jing also knew that this group of women might not understand why they wanted to breed, but for Fang Jing, pigs that were not sterilized could only be said to be energetic and angry.

Although Fang Jing does not know much about piglet sterilization, but fortunately, Fang Jing's secondary school in the previous life studied aquaculture, and it happened that the school had a major in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine. It's really a good way to say.

"Jing Wazi, why do you have to be sterilized, wouldn't it be a pity if you cut it to death?" When a woman in a village heard that the piglets were going to be sterilized, her heart was beating a drum.

"This sterilization of piglets is to grow meat, the second is to reduce the smell of urine on the pigs, and it can also reduce the pigs that are too noisy, and the sterilized pigs will be very honest, eat and sleep, sleep and eat, only grow meat and do not make trouble; In addition, I will teach Uncle Yuanliang how to sterilize pigs, and promise not to let a piglet die, and if it dies, I will compensate you. After Fang Jing explained, he also assured everyone.

"Jing Wazi, this can't be helped, how can you pay for this, this piglet is only half a money-related matter, if he dies, he will die, and then buy his head back." The woman who asked just now didn't dare to ask Fang Jing to pay money, this village is doing well now, who doesn't know that Fang Jing brought it, if this is really a mess and wants to pay for the piglets, then her family doesn't have to stay in Fangjia Village.

"Okay, this matter is settled, let's talk about it after Uncle Muramasa and they buy the piglets and come back, anyway, there are no piglets now, and you don't know if you talk too much, but after the piglets are bought back, you have to cook the beans in advance, add fine chaff and wild vegetables to cook together, and the neutered piglets have to make up for it at this time." Fang Jing finally settled the matter.

In two days, the village is a few of them bought thirty-one piglets back, each little piglet is more than half a dollar, less than six hundred dollars in price, male and female, each looks so thin, it weighs more than ten pounds, it seems that the original master will not take good care of these little piglets.

Originally, Fang Jing told Mura Zheng that they should try their best to buy boar cubs, but they must not have enough boar cubs to buy, so they had to replace them with sow cubs, which was also a helpless thing.

All the little piglets were packed in bamboo frames and transported to Fang Yuanliang's house, of course, Fang Jing had already prepared everything that should be prepared, a stainless steel willow leaf scalpel, some herbal powder, and some fine hemp rope.

It is relatively simple to sterilize the boar, it is normally called castration, and the ** is cut off directly by the roots, but the opening can not be too big, otherwise the wound of the piglet will cause death due to bleeding or inflammation, and it needs to be sutured if necessary, and the sterilization of the sow is also called the small peach blossom technique, relatively speaking, it is much more difficult than castration, first of all, you have to control the position, and you have to quickly touch the uterus ovary of the piglet's left inner abdomen after the opening, and then cut it, the opening can not be too much, these have to go through perennial operation practice to be in place, Raw hands, can only make the sow cry in pain, and in modern terms, these basic old skills are about to be lost.

"Uncle Yuanliang, catch the boar, clamp it with this bamboo frame, pinch the piglet's eggs with your left hand and protrude, cut it directly with a knife, and then pull it out lightly, and then sprinkle these medicinal powders, it's okay, if the mouth is wide, you have to sew it with this thin hemp rope needle and thread." Fang Jing taught Fang Yuanliang how to castrate the boar baby step by step, and most of the people in the village surrounded the two of them in a circle, and they had to take a good look at this excitement.

Fang Yuanliang's mother-in-law, Zhong Meilan, had already boiled these knives, needles and threads for nearly an hour in accordance with Fang Jing's instructions, and still added medicinal powder, of course, Fang Yuanliang also washed his hands and rubbed them with medicinal powder, in order to avoid infection and inflammation, after all, there are no anti-inflammatory Western medicines or injections in this era, so you have to choose the simplest, most effective and in line with the times.

The medicinal powder prepared by Fang Jing was collected by many children in the village, dandelion, purslane, houttuynia cordata, and banlan root, which were dried and ground into powder, Fang Jing spent a lot of time grinding these things, of course, these are also the best and most affordable herbs at present.

More than 20 boar cubs were cut for nearly an hour to get it done, Fang Yuanliang was also sweating profusely, after all, he was a person who was missing half a leg, so he had to sit and work, and his body was not very good, so he couldn't be tired and sweat after doing this hour's physical work.

"Jing Wazi, this little boar has been cut, but how can this little sow be cut?" Fang Yuanliang looked at the seven or eight little sows and was a little dizzy, after all, there were no piglets with eggs, and there was no way to start.

"Uncle Yuanliang, you can rest first, drink a bowl of water, and I'll tell you how to get it later." Fang Jing is not Zhou Papi, let alone Huang Shiren, he doesn't want a person with physical deficiency to continue to work in such a tired situation, although there is no big problem at the moment, but Fang Jing is still unwilling to do this after all.

The people who watched the excitement understood that it was not very difficult to castrate piglets, mainly in those techniques, plus knives and powder, these are the key, everyone knows that this powder was brought by Fang Jing, and I heard Fang Jing say that it can stop bleeding and disinfect, thinking that the powder should be very expensive, although everyone is envious, but no one dares to ask Fang Jing for this powder.

After resting for a quarter of an hour, Fang Yuanliang said that he could continue, Fang Jing told Fang Yuanliang sentence by sentence that the first sows who tried to be neutered suffered a lot, and the time was not as fast as the little boars, it can be said that both male and female sows were the first few to suffer the most, who called Fang Yuanliang just learned, in the past, people used to use knives to cut people, which would cut piglets with knives.

"Uncle Yuanliang, that's it, these you are so good at manipulating in the back, just don't open the mouth too much, you can slow down." Fang Jing watched as Fang Yuanliang finally finished getting the first gilt cub.

"Okay, Jing Wazi, I know." Fang Yuanliang is an honest man who doesn't talk much, but is very loyal, but his head is very flexible.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the gilts were all ready, and all the piglets were locked in a small bamboo shed that had already been prepared, of course, this bamboo shed was prepared by Fang Yuanliang's family for their own pigs.

"Jing Wazi, this is good? These piglets aren't going to die, are they? Mura Zheng looked at a group of little piglets in the bamboo shed, was surprisingly quiet, and asked Fang Jing.

"Muramasa, there shouldn't be any big problem, the wound is not big, and the powder can also play a great role in the wound, as long as you pay attention to it for a few days now, if the wound is not pus and has a scab, you can catch it home and raise it separately."

In the next few days, the villagers arranged to take care of these little piglets, Fang Jing also came over every morning and evening to see the situation, fortunately nothing happened, Fang Jing thought that this wave of operations was completely successful, Fang Yuanliang could handle this craft in the future, and then the families caught the piglets and went back to take care of them carefully, obeyed Fang Jing's words, and fed the little piglets with some bean essence, looking forward to the little piglets growing up quickly, so that they could kill and eat pork.
