My 1995 Small Farm

 Early in the morning, the fog has not cleared yet.

A dilapidated walking tractor tied to a wooden guardrail made a circle in the front farm and came to a creaking stop in the aisle outside the wheat field in the back village. There was a tractor pulling a tractor vomiting from time to time. Foaming tall white pig.

 When you come to Chenwangzhuang to breed pigs, you don’t need to ask any more questions. They will be bred to Wang Lishan’s family first.

The Wang Lishan family's pigs are not only used for selling meat. In years when the price of pigs is good, they also specialize in raising sows to give birth to piglets.

 There are about ten piglets in each litter.

 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 people who come to the countryside to collect pigs.

 So the ones who breed pigs also raised their tails, and asked them to breed many pigs.

Wang Lishan was called out. He had a bald head and walked around the tractor with his hands behind his back.

The boar on the car was spinning impatiently, and from time to time it would press its mouth against the guardrail. Two long pouches hung between its hind legs, which were very conspicuous. Occasionally, a bright red meat awl protruded from its belly, stretching and retracting. shrink.

 Wang Lishan couldn't help but nod and laugh.

 Then he pointed at the pig boy and said, "Baby, call your uncle Fugui quickly."

Invite Chen Ling to come and control the situation. No matter how popular this pig breeder is, he won't dare to trick them.

 But when Chen Ling led Hei Wa and the other two over, there were already a lot of 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 is so worthy of a pig has no such excuse! What if you don’t come if you don’t deserve it?”

“It’s not my fault that I’m not worthy. It’s you who came to our Kuliu County to find me. I can’t go all the way in vain. The tractor also burns oil.”

Although the man was from another county, he didn't show any timidity at all.

 As soon as he said this, the crowd exploded.

　　A pig’s tail will be more upturned than a human’s!

Yang Gangdan back then was not so arrogant.

Wang Lishan's face also looked grim. He was the one who found this man. He had inquired with his relatives in Kuliu County beforehand and also went to see him. His big boar was really good. After mating, the sows could give birth to thirteen children in each litter. Four.

 The more children you give birth to, the more money you get from selling each one. The more children you give birth to, the more money you get from selling them.

"You are a breeder of pigs, and you are crazy about it. Why are you so crazy? Why are you so crazy?" Wang Lishan was very angry.

 Looking like he was rolling up his sleeves to fight.

 The people at this time have such a temper. How can they be bullied by people from other counties at their own doorstep?

"Who is crazy? This is the rule in our county. Didn't your relatives explain it clearly to you? It's still early in the morning and I drove a tractor all the way to the mountain... Forget it, if you agree, you'll pay. If you don’t agree with the pig breeding, I will leave...next time, don’t go to our county to look for it..."

The man who is married to a pig is also afraid of being beaten for not being able to explain why.

What’s more, there was Chen Ling with two scary big dogs watching next to him, so he simply didn’t want to match him.

 It's a waste of time, just a waste of time.

At this time, Wang Lishan was a little embarrassed.

 Don't look at him being out of tune all day long and likes to have fun with 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 strode home, but kept muttering in a low voice: "It only cost five yuan to get a pig in the past. That was still expensive. It's stupid. In the past two years, it increased to ten yuan." Five yuan, twenty yuan, this year his grandma’s became fifty yuan...

From now on, I won’t raise pigs anymore. I’ll just bring in big boars to mate with pigs. "

Chen Ling watched from the side without saying a word.

 No way, he really doesn’t understand the art of breeding pigs.

I haven’t had time to go to the countryside to ask Guo Baolai yet.

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 served the pig was also unambiguous. He just 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.

  However, 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, then dragged a sow out by its ears.

“Come on, my pig has been in the pen for a few days, so it’s a good time for a match.”

As the old saying goes, old sows should be mated early and young sows should be mated late. Old sows should be mated as early as possible while young sows should be mated as late as possible.

Wang Lishan’s family changes a batch of pigs every two years, which needless to say are also gilts.

 The advantage of raising gilts in the countryside lies in this. You don't have to worry about being late in mating after going into estrus.

"You're not a bad pig, but it's still not as good as foreign pigs... Just look at it. Once you've raised foreign pigs, you'll know the benefits of foreign pigs... This thing gets fat very quickly. It takes half a year to raise it. Can get out of the cage.”

 The man who served the pig received 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.

Just said: "I have eaten a lot of foreign pork, but it is not as good 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."

 His words will be equivalent to nonsense in later generations.

 But at this time, the villagers were relieved after hearing this.

From their point of 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.

 They know that local eggs are more nutritious and good for their health.

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 can make money.

 But when it came time to match the pigs, it was not as good as everyone imagined.

At first, as soon as the wooden fence of the tractor opened, the big boar with foam at its mouth jumped down and rushed towards the sow.

 In the past, I licked and smelled the sow's butt...

"Look at how anxious you are. You haven't eaten anything. How can you get up there? Even if you get down on it, can you get in?"

I often engage in the business of breeding pigs. The man who breeds pigs is arrogant and speaks very vulgarly.

It made everyone laugh and laugh, and everyone said 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.

 The pigs had traveled a long way before coming, and the pigs had nothing to eat.

 Pig breeding is very physically demanding.

 Not only eat food, but also eat good food so as not to hurt the pigs.

 In order to 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 add a few raw eggs to the pigs in the trough every day to supplement their nutrition.

Wang Lishan had already paid fifty yuan, so 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 results of it…

 The big boar lay down several times in a row, and the sows all ran away with their buttocks sticking 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 frowned, thinking that shouldn’t be the case. These sows are already in a pen. Aren’t they given to boars if they are available?

“You don’t agree, is it because your foreign pig is too big and scares our pigs... Well, you can think of a way..."

“Brother, if your sow doesn’t accept her mate, it’s not because my boar won’t lie down! What can I do about this kind of thing?”

The pig grooming man wiped his hands on his coat and said, "When my pigs have a rest, I'll find another pig. I'll give it a try for free. Do you think it's okay?"

 “That’s okay too.”

Wang Lishan thought for a while and went home to pour the man a glass of boiled water and let him rest together.

They rested, and when Chen Ling saw the sun rising, 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 domestic medicinal materials such as wolfberry and licorice, emit a sweet smell after being dried, which is very attractive to flies.

 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 even if tried.

 The deworming medicine kits provided at home are not useful.

 Chen Ling used to do this when drying 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 shouts coming from outside, he got up and went out.

As we walked out, we saw on the north slope, Wang Lishan and the others were driving the big boar to the elementary school with the pig groomer.

Chen Ling followed and looked over, and found that he was going to the old courtyard of Grandpa Fourth's house.

 The pigs that Chen Yongsheng’s family raises there.

 There was only one little sow in the pigsty over there, and the remaining three were all slaughtered **** pigs.

By this time, most of the villagers had had breakfast, and more and more people came to watch the fun.

Even the old couple from Wang Chunyuan's family and Wang Chunyuan's family, who are opposite to Chen Ling's family and are even less popular than the Guang family, also came.

 In short, there were quite a lot of people watching the excitement.

  But what’s puzzling is.

It still won’t work this time.

The boar still lays down on her, and the sow sticks her **** 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, and there are so many local pigs. If you ask Lishan from your village, he has relatives in our area..." The pig husband argued loudly.

“Tch, whoever has no relatives in Kuliu County, let me tell you, don’t fool them.”

 The villagers gave a warning.

"Oh my god, I'm really not to blame for this. So many people in your village have seen it. My big boar has lied down so many times, and things are sticking out. The sows in your village won't let it go. Come in!

　　Why am I the one fooling people!

 You have to be reasonable! "

The man who breeds pigs is so impatient. How can he say that his breeding pigs are not good after seeing what he sees?

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll think of a trick for you."

 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 means to start with a hand and to hold a hand, which is really the literal meaning.

 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 harsh on the eyes.

  But this was a common occurrence in the early animal husbandry industry, and it was also an effective native method.

"Okay, stop shouting, Fugui has given me some 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.

Hearing his method, Chen Yongsheng was not doing well yet. The man with the pig turned his head and looked at Chen Ling in surprise. He couldn't figure out how this gentleman, who looked like a college student, came up with 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 chapter)
