Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 123 123. Alternative Pig Raising
The factory building of the pig house is about ten meters high from the outside. Dong Qiangqiang originally thought there would be at least two floors inside, but when he opened the door, he found that there was only one floor inside.

Because there is only one floor, the ceiling in the factory building is sufficient.Standing at the door, Dong Qiangqiang could easily notice the color difference between part of the ceiling and the ceiling next to it.

As he watched, Fleischer noticed his movements.He pointed to the roof and said: "Those can be opened and closed automatically. When the weather is good or the temperature in the factory building is too high, they will automatically open for ventilation."

A lot of glass windows with good light transmittance are installed staggeredly on the roof. Bright and straight beams of light fall from the sky and shine directly into the pigsty, making the whole pigsty look bright without artificial lighting at all.

Under the leadership of Fleischer, Dong Qiangqiang and others strolled into the factory building.

The entire factory building was divided into several large rooms. The room that Dong Qiangqiang and the others walked into was about [-] to [-] square meters. There were six pigpens in total. The light blue hard plastic corridor for walking is convenient for the staff to get close to the pigsty.

Dong Qiangqiang saw at a glance a group of light pink piglets that hadn't grown up in a row of pigpens against the wall. He was about to walk over to take a closer look when he heard a familiar melodious music suddenly sounded above his head.

Dong Qiangqiang unconsciously listened carefully for a while, and asked Fleischer in surprise: "Are you listening to Bach for pigs?"

Fleischer had a happy expression on his face: "You also listen to classical music?"

Just as Dong Qiangqiang was about to answer, he suddenly felt a little awkward: If he answered "yes", wouldn't it mean that he was also a pig?

But he also knew that he was talking in a hurry, and the other party didn't mean to tease him, so he answered the wrong question: "Why do you listen to classical music for them?"

Fleischer explained with great interest: "Classical music is mostly soothing music, which is very good for mental relaxation. I believe it will have the same effect on pigs, making them feel better. And I I have always believed that the melody of classical music has mysterious energy.”

Lei Lanting moved closer to Dong Qiangqiang's side and whispered, "It sounds fresh to me."

Seeing the expressions of the two, Fleischer added with a smile: "Of course I didn't invent this, it's also the result of expert research."

Dong Qiangqiang wondered, "Do you really trust your German experts?"

"That's not necessarily the case. They occasionally come up with some bad ideas, although I quite like some bad ideas." Fleischer smiled and pointed to the pigsty, "But it's not a bad idea to listen to music for pigs. It's indeed better than not listening to it before." The effect is better when playing music. For example, my pigs are less sick than before. Of course, this is also due to my wife. She is mainly responsible for the disease prevention and control of pigs. There has never been any pig disease like swine fever or foot-and-mouth disease. I believe that classical music is also attributable here. Before, those colleagues in the village laughed at me, and later they all learned from me to play music for pigs, as we said just now Luke here, he has twice as many speakers in the pigsty as I do."

"Can pigs understand?" Lei Lanting couldn't help interjecting.

"I checked it specifically, and it is said that pigs have very high IQs, and listening to music is also a kind of enjoyment for them." Fleischer added seriously, "But not all music can be listened to, such as pop music and electronic music. Everything is too noisy, not suitable for playing in such a big environment. Pigs will be very restless when listening to it, just like people, eating and pulling become unstable. After trying for a while, I realized that it is still classical music. Best. My youngest daughter's favorite is Bach, so it's all about Bach for them."

Dong Qiangqiang and Lei Lanting glanced at each other, and both felt that this German old man was very interesting.Everyone was not as reserved as when they first met, and the topics gradually increased.

"Then besides playing music for them, have you provided them with other ways of entertainment?" Lei Lanting jokingly pointed to the TVs hanging on the wall here and there, "For example, show them a blockbuster movie?"

Dong Qiangqiang was looking at the roof and the pigsty before, but didn't pay attention to other places. He only noticed the TV hanging on the wall after hearing what he said.

"That's right, occasionally we show them some TV shows, like natural scenery, or the underwater world or something."

"Then can they understand?" Hans, who hadn't spoken for a long time, was also aroused by this topic.

Fleischer smiled without saying a word, took out a remote control from his pocket, and pressed it lightly a few times, the music on the loudspeaker above his head stopped abruptly, and a dark blue color slowly appeared on the TVs on the wall at the same time. A picture of the ocean and dense schools of fish.

The pigs in the pigsty were eating, playing or lying leisurely. When they found a moving picture on the TV, they turned their heads and stared at the TV without moving.Except for a few pigs who were still sound asleep, most of the pigs were attracted by the TV content.

"Honey, is it real or not?" Lei Lanting was greatly surprised, "Has this pig become a sperm?"

Fleischer turned off the TV and turned on the music again: "But experts say that watching TV for more than 15 minutes is not good for pigs, so I only play a short episode for them occasionally. Most of the time it is better to listen to music .”

Dong Qiangqiang looked at the pigs in a large room, and asked with interest: "Mr. Fleischer, how many pigs do you have here?"

"Well, as of 22 o'clock last night, there were a total of 1823 pigs in all the factories. However, a few pigs were released this morning, and it should be 1839 or 1840 now."

"These pigs look fat and strong." Dong Qiangqiang complimented, "What breed are they?"

"This pig house mainly raises Pietrain and Changbai." Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang is very interested in his pig house, Fleischer is very happy.He usually deals mainly with pigs, and he doesn't have many opportunities to talk to outsiders, and many of the limited exchanges are also related to pigs.It was rare for him to meet some foreigners today, and he didn't expect to be able to talk about his major, which made him happy.He pointed in another direction and said, "There are some Durocs in other factories, and I also have a breeding pig of Iberico pig, which was specially given to me by my old friend in Munich." When he said this, his His face was full of pride.

But Dong Qiangqiang knew nothing about pig breeds, and catered to Fleischer just to make the chat less awkward.He nodded vaguely, making an expression of listening carefully.

Looking at the pigs in various poses and poses in the pigsty, a thought suddenly flashed in Lei Lanting's mind: If catching pigs can't continue, it would be nice to have a part-time job with Fleischer.The environment here looks very good, and there is no need to speak foreign languages ​​​​to the pigs.

"To raise so many pigs, you need a lot of workers, right?" Lei Lanting looked around.But in Nuoda's factory building, he saw an employee in a blue uniform, "Why do I only see one person?"
