Chapter 146 The Master Next Door

At around nine o'clock the next morning, Qi Ming was already waiting in the meeting room. Today, two experienced old reptile breeders were invited from the zoo next door. Training, he wants to receive it!
This is for the zoo to make a good talent reserve in advance for opening a reptile house.

Of course, this is because Qi Ming was forced to help him. This week, two kinds of snakes were refreshed in the animal market. Qi Ming thought about it and arranged breeders for these new members in advance. Foreign aid.

Many reptiles pose a threat to the safety of keepers, such as crocodiles, monitor lizards, large snakes and venomous snakes.

Crocodiles and large lizards will not only bite the breeder, but also sweep with their powerful tails, causing the breeder to lose balance and fall. Large lizards have sharp claws that can cause deep scratches. Pythons and anacondas have huge With its entanglement power, adult individuals can strangle large mammals including humans, and even if they escape the strangulation, the sharp teeth can cause serious trauma.

Among them, the most dangerous ones are undoubtedly poisonous snakes, such as poisonous cobras. The sprayed venom can accurately hit small targets within 2-3 meters. Goggles must be worn when cobras are operating.

The only new snakes in the zoo market are tree vipers and bamboo leaf greens, and the protection and manipulation of these poisonous snakes requires special training.

Although this kind of thing has been communicated with reptile owners before, I consulted about the points that need to be paid attention to in raising these more dangerous reptiles, and also found some information, but zoo breeding is different from personal breeding after all!

For example, the preparation of anti-venom serum is very troublesome to store. For long-term storage, it must be stored in a low-temperature refrigerator at minus 20 degrees to minus 70 degrees. To thaw, it needs to be dissolved in a refrigerator at 4 degrees for a day, and then put it at room temperature to dissolve it all. , and the 4-degree refrigerator can only be stored for one month.

Therefore, individuals, including some small farms, will not prepare anti-venom serum when raising poisonous snakes, but if zoos raise poisonous snakes, they must store serum for a long time and update it regularly.

It is also necessary to carry out a drill plan for snake bites, simulate the emergency treatment measures after the breeder is bitten, clarify the division of labor for each person, and understand the emergency treatment methods and the use of serum to prepare for unexpected events.

In the meeting room of the office building, Qi Ming warmly shook hands with the opposite party: "Hey, hello, Master Li, and master Tang! Xiaoli, pour a cup of tea for the two masters!"

Xiaoli happily agreed: "Hey, okay!"

Then it was time to brew tea.

Breeders Master Li and Master Tang looked surprised, because they did not expect that the director of Jiajia Zoo turned out to be a young man in his 20s, and the director of their zoo was in his 50s.

I also went to some other zoos to communicate, and the director I met was at least 40 years old, and I have never seen such a young one.

However, Qi Ming will not be underestimated because of this!

Entering the park, the first impression is that the environment here is much more beautiful than theirs. The display boards on the peacock lawn on the roadside are also very professional, not the old-fashioned ones that everyone uses. You can see it from these simple details Come out the difference in level.

Not daring to push her too hard, she stood up and bent down to shake hands with Qi Ming one by one: "Hello, Director Qi, you don't have to be so polite!"

Qi Ming said sincerely: "No, no, it should be. The two masters are masters at first glance. I also heard from your director before that they are experienced old employees who have taken care of these dangerous reptiles for more than 20 years. I also hope that you will not hesitate to teach us, guide and train our employees more, and impart a little experience."

Seeing that Qi Ming respected him so much, the two masters also had some smiles on their faces. Master Li praised: "Director Qi is really young and promising, and manages such a big zoo. well organized."

"Hey, thank you, thank you." Master Tang took the tea brought by Xiaoli, grinned his crooked teeth to show kindness, and then nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, the environment here is really good. Working here is definitely a very comfortable thing, if it was 20 years earlier, I would definitely want to come here.”

This is not entirely flattering, I am indeed a little envious of the employees who can work here!

Qi Ming's eyes lit up: "Master Tang, it doesn't have to be 20 years earlier, we are also recruiting now, are you interested in changing places?"

Master Li laughed, and Master Tang hurriedly waved his hands again and again: "Forget it, forget it, I can't move anymore when I'm old."

I have worked in the zoo there for half my life, and my house and family are there. I am also a relatively experienced old man, so how could I change to a new city?

After Xiaoli poured tea for the two masters, she also poured a cup for Qi Ming and herself, sat obediently beside Qi Ming, took a breath with the water cup, took a sip, and listened to their discussion.

Although the two masters are here to help train the breeders, it is impossible to urge them to work right away, so Qi Ming is going to chat first. It just so happens that he is also interested in the experience of raising venomous snakes, so he asked with piercing eyes He said: "When the two masters took care of the poisonous snake, what was the most dangerous situation? Have you ever been bitten?"

When Xiaoli heard this question, although she was afraid, she was also a little curious. She shrunk her head and looked nervously. She held the water glass to her chest and listened carefully.

Master Li smiled and said, "I'm in charge of taking care of crocodiles and lizards. If you want to talk about poisonous snakes, you have to ask Lao Jiang!"

Master Tang subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette to smoke, but when he saw a girl in the room, he took out his hand stuffed in his pocket, raised his water glass and blew, thinking and recalling: "Of course it is very dangerous. Now, it was not as standard and protective as it is now, like I have been raising snakes for so many years, and I have been bitten more than a dozen times."

"Hey~" Xiao Li was startled, shivering like a little quail.

Qi Ming also opened his eyes wide and held his breath!
Seeing the reactions of Qi Ming and Xiaoli, Master Tang smiled and said, "It's not all poisonous snakes, it's a few times it's a boa constrictor, and it hurts after biting, but it's not a big deal. The first time I was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake was a cobra. I was scared to death at that time, but fortunately, I just took a bite without injecting poison, so I was more careful later, and I would pay attention to protection when feeding.

But after two years, I gradually relaxed, and I was a little lucky. I didn't protect myself when I was feeding, and was bitten by a bamboo leaf green! "

Master Li stretched out his left hand, pointed to his index finger and said, "It was a white lipped bamboo leaf green that bit me at that time, and the two teeth bit on the fingertip and pad of my finger."

Qi Ming patted his thigh: "Hey, our zoo has introduced white-lipped Zhuyeqing this time."

Zhuyeqing is actually a genus name. It is widely distributed in Asia. There are dozens of different species of Zhuyeqing. White-lipped Zhuyeqing is more widely distributed in Guangdong, Fujian, and Hong Kong.

Then he asked with concern, "Then how was your injury?"
