Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

This is a piece of white luck. The key is that it looks no less lucky than killing a pig.

You know, this little piglet only weighs about ten kilograms, which is completely incomparable to a big pig weighing one hundred, forty or fifty kilograms.

"Who would have thought that pigs can also gain luck?"

Xiang Yunduan sighed in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable. After all, these pigs completely deprived the pigs of their fertility, which was no less "sin" than directly killing the pigs.

And if you really want to talk about it, killing a pig is just killing one pig, but killing a pig is equivalent to annihilating the descendants. If a pig is not married, it is theoretically capable of giving birth to many piglets. After all, a pig can give birth to more than a dozen piglets at a time. It's all trivial.

"Do you see clearly?"

Xiang Yunduan was only slightly stunned by the fact that the chopped pig gained good luck, and then returned to normal. After releasing the finished piglet, Xiang Yunduan asked Wang Shitou, who had been watching beside him.

"See clearly. It doesn't look too difficult. I feel like it's a bit simple. It only took a few seconds to get it done?"

Wang Shitou said with some surprise.

He had really never seen a pig before. Yang Jiadi had brought his apprentice with him when he went to the countryside before. He and Zhang Dahe were not qualified to observe and learn from it.

"It's quite simple. How about you come next?" Xiang Yunduan said with a smile.

"No, no, no, I'd better take another look. If something goes wrong, it will be bad!" Wang Shitou quickly shook his head and said.

Xiang Yunduan didn't force it. This job seemed simple, but it couldn't be learned by watching it once. Fortunately, there were many opportunities. Let Wang Shitou study hard by his side first.

Since the pig can get luck, Xiang Yunduan must have taught Wang Shitou. After all, the apprentice he taught can get luck by killing pigs. There is no reason why the apprentice can’t get luck by using the pig!

So we must go to church!

Next, Xiang Yunduan beheaded several young male piglets without any problems, and he became more and more proficient at it.

After he felt that he was completely accustomed to the feeling of operating a knife on a live pig, he set his sights on the sow piglets.

There is a big difference between the sow and the boar. If the difficulty of the boar is only two stars, then the difficulty of the sow is at least five stars.

The boar just needs to remove two bells, because the bells are on the outside and are easier to operate.

But for sows, all the uterine horns and both ovaries of the sow must be removed. This is obviously more complicated. The whole process can be said to be a minor operation.

For the master of Xianzhu, the level of difficulty can be compared to that of a doctor performing an appendix surgery on someone.

"Did you feed the pigs at noon?"

Xiang Yunduan asked before eating the sow piglets.

Generally speaking, the sow needs to be starved for half a day before feeding, because if fed, the intestines will be more bulging, and when the knife is used again, the intestines may be scratched accidentally.

Moreover, during the operation, it is still necessary to continuously squeeze the piglet's abdomen to expose the piglet's uterine horns from the wound. If there is food in the piglet's abdomen, this operation will also be affected.

"No, no, the commune has already informed us that the master of the piglets is coming today. We all know this, so we didn't feed them!" said the breeder who brought the piglets over.

Because communes and brigades have been established here, the raising of pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese is no longer done individually by each household as before, but is done uniformly by specialized breeders sent by the brigades.

Of course, this collective breeding is definitely different from the big factories of later generations, because it is really difficult to prevent various pig diseases these days. In order to prevent one pig from getting sick and infecting other pigs, even in collective farming, it is There are several separate locations, and there is more than one breeder, but each person is responsible for a part.

Since the breeder knew the procedure, there was nothing more to say about the matter. He took the teapot from Wang Shitou and took a few sips before starting to feed the sow piglets for the first time.

There are usually two methods of raising sows, which are called "small pick-up" and "big pick-up".

The main difference is that the surgical opening is different. For large-scale surgery, you need to make a large incision of about ten centimeters in the pig's body, and then directly reach into the abdominal cavity to find out the ovaries and uterine horns and cut them off.

This method is generally suitable for adult sows. If used on piglets, there is usually a risk of intestinal adhesion, so it is generally not used.

Xiang Yunduan needs to face all piglets today, so he is going to use the "little pick-up" method to complete it.

"Go and bring a bench, just the long bench that students sit on in class!"

Before starting, Xiang Yunduan said to Wang Shitou.

His legs were a little sore from squatting half-crouching all the time. There were many piglets behind him, so it would be more comfortable to sit down.

Soon, Wang Shitou brought a stool over.

Xiang Yunduan sat down on the stool, then pulled the piglet to be castrated, turned its back to him, stepped on the pig's neck with his right foot, and stepped on the pig's left hind leg with his left foot, thus making the piglet's The lower body is in a semi-supine position.

"Bring over the box!" Xiang Yunduan said to Wang Shitou again.

This box contains various medicines distributed by the infirmary before departure.

Among them are styptic powder, anti-inflammatory drugs, iodophor, needles and thread, tweezers, and cotton balls.

Generally speaking, pigs do not bleed too much, and there is no need to suture the wound. However, sometimes accidents inevitably occur, and at this time, it is necessary to stop the bleeding and suture the wound.

Xiang Yunduan opened the box, first took out the tweezers, then opened a glass bottle, took out a ball of cotton ball, and then dipped the cotton ball in the bottle containing iodophor. After the cotton ball absorbed the iodophor, this Just took it out.

The next step is to use a cotton ball to rub iodophor on the pig knife and piglet abdomen for disinfection.

From here it can be seen that this sow is indeed more dangerous and complicated than the boar.

After waiting for disinfection, Xiang Yunduan stretched out his left hand, his middle finger found the hip bone position on the pig's back, and then his thumb and middle finger formed a straight line and stretched toward the piglet's abdomen.

The location where the knife needs to be operated is generally one to two centimeters to the left of the midline of the pig's abdomen, directly opposite the second to last and between the three nipples of the pig.

However, the specific location still needs to be explored. This is all based on experience.

After Xiang Yunduan put his thumb out, he began to press down tentatively until he found a place where there was an obvious den when pressing.

This position is the best position to operate the knife.

After finding it, Xiang Yunduan pinched the handle of the pig knife with his right thumb, middle finger and index finger, and then started to cut.

Don't use too much force in this step, because if you use too much force, it will easily penetrate too deep and risk slicing the intestines.

The knife must be penetrated slowly. When the resistance at the tip of the knife suddenly disappears, it is time to stop drilling. This means that the pig's abdominal cavity has been cut open.

The pig knife used by Xiang Yunduan is heart-shaped, and the length of the tip is just in line with this depth.
