Portable space

Hu County and Chang'an are separated by the Fengshui River, which is not very far away. It takes more than an hour to enter the boundary of Hu County along the Huanshan Road.

Although Chang'an County is mentioned, it is still in the Zhongnan Mountains. This Hu County is also a mountainous area near the Qinling Mountains.

Presumably, Wang Gui is not familiar with the terrain here or has not been here for a long time, so the changes have changed a lot and he can't find things in his memory, so the driving is not very smooth.But I finally arrived at the location after nine o'clock. It was not a bustling area, but a small village on the back of the mountain.

After parking the car, Wang Gui made a phone call.

A group of people in the carriage jumped down, and Wang Peng looked at the mountain not far away and said, "Why are you still on the side of the mountain? That modern pig farm is built here?"

The others also showed strange expressions, probably because they thought that the so-called modern pig farm should be in the city.

Not long after, a middle-aged man came, greeted Wang Gui warmly, and then led the crowd towards the foot of the mountain.A large brick-walled courtyard is located at the foot of the mountain, and inside are rows of bungalows.

First, they were brought to a small building on the second floor, where the women brought tea and cigarettes.

After an introduction, I found out that this guy is called Xue Qunwu. I can’t tell that he is also a talent who has been trained by a university, and his study is the major of breeding. After graduation, he went back home and baked such a small hill and the surrounding area to raise pigs. They have made a lot of money over the years.

As for how Wang Gui met this person, the two didn't say anything, so everyone didn't know.

Xue Qunwu yelled to the woman: "Prepare a few dishes and some wine" and then said to Zhang Taiping and the others, "Go, let's go to the pig house first."

The row of bungalows built against the wall is a pigsty. There is a big wolf dog tied in front of the door. When it sees a stranger, it bared its teeth and rushes over, smashing the iron chain, looking very fierce.It wasn't until Xue Qunwu waved his hand that he stopped, but he still looked at the few people vigilantly.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "This dog is not bad."

Xue Qunwu replied with a smile: "This is a German shepherd dog bought at a high price from outside. I usually rely on it to herd pigs."

"Isn't there a pigsty? Why are you still releasing it?" Wang Peng asked in bewilderment.

"I have not only domestic pigs, but also wild boars here." Xue Qunwu replied, "Domestic pigs are fine, they can be kept in the pig house all the time, but wild boars are not good, they have to be driven out for a run on the mountain, so The meat on the body is the lean meat, otherwise it would be worthless if it becomes a domestic pig."

This is indeed the truth. The reason why wild boar is different from domestic pork is that wild boar runs on the mountain all day long, and there is almost no excess fat on its body, and it is all healthy lean meat; It grows meat, basically eating, sleeping and eating. It grows very fast, but the meat on its body is mostly fat.

After entering the pig house, the light inside is very bright, the ventilation facilities are good, and there is no peculiar smell. It is completely different from the dirty and messy pig houses often seen in rural areas.

"It's really clean." Wang Bajin sighed. He also has a pigsty in the backyard of his own house, where he raised a pig. The environment inside is simply unflattering, especially in summer, the smell can definitely kill people.

Xue Qunwu smiled and said nothing. The first criterion for raising pigs is hygiene.

The inside of these bungalows is transparent and merged into a huge space inside. Pig houses are built in two rows.There is an aisle in the middle, and there is something shining blue and purple light hanging above it. Zhang Taiping and Wang Gui know that this is an instrument for disinfecting the air.And a thermometer is hung at a certain distance to measure the temperature inside the pig house at any time, so as to keep the temperature at the most suitable stage for pig growth.

Each small pig house is an isolated space, and there are rows of flush holes on the ground, which needless to say are used to clean the inside.

Xue Qunwu introduced the facilities and construction structure to everyone while walking, without any reservations.In fact, there is no need to keep it. The same technology may have different results in the hands of different people. Even if it can be successful, it has no effect on him.

There is also a fluorescent lamp above each small space. Xue Qunwu introduced: "This lamp is equivalent to the sun outside. If it is lit for several hours every day, it is equivalent to basking pigs in the sun."

Wang Laoqiang said jokingly, "The pigs here are really comfortable."

Wang Peng pointed to the shaggy heads under the fluorescent lamps and said, "This is not for bathing pigs, is it?"

Xue Qunwu nodded and said with a smile: "It is indeed for bathing pigs, and washing once a day is a must."

"Huh? You really bathe pigs?" Wang Bajin felt a little unbelievable.

Seeing Xue Qunwu approaching, all the pigs lying in the piggery boiled up, put their mouths on the iron gate and groaned.These pigs don't look big now, but if you wait for a while, the time when they grow up will be exactly the time before the year, which is the time when the price is good.

The whole body is naked without the slightest filth and odor, which greatly changed the concept of several mountain people on raising pigs.

Old man Qian asked, "What do you mainly feed this pig?"

Xue Qunwu didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "Most of them are special feed, and occasionally they will cut some grass."

"What does the special feed look like?" Wang Bajin asked.

"It's over there, I'll take you there to have a look." Xue Qunwu pointed to the empty space in the room and said, where bags of things were piled up.

Several people humbly asked for advice, and Xue Qunwu also answered without reservation.Probably the relationship with Wang Gui is unusual, and there is no sign of avoiding the answer at all, at least the questions raised by everyone have been answered satisfactorily.After that, Wang Min didn't ask any questions, but he kept in his mind the questions raised by what everyone said and the answers he got.

After walking in, I realized that the signs on these bags are not the same, so naturally they are not a variety.

Xue Qunwu introduced: "There are many types of common feed for pigs. According to nutrition, they are divided into 8 types: protein feed, energy feed, roughage, green feed, silage, mineral feed and feed additives." After a pause, everyone digested this sentence After talking, he continued, "I only have protein feed, energy feed and mineral feed here. Other feed can be replaced by collecting things from nearby villages."

Usually, when raising pigs at home, they only feed some corn husks or wheat husks, and hardworking people even feed them with grass, and only occasionally feed some soybeans or bean dregs and the like.Today is the first time I heard that there are so many specialties in feeding pigs, and there are such different feeds. It is a long experience.

After leaving this room, Xue Qunwu led everyone to another room.The layout inside is similar to the previous one.

Xue Qunwu said: "This is where wild boars are raised."

Everyone stood in front of it and looked at it. It was indeed a half-sized wild boar, mostly with black fur.Due to natural reasons, even in the piggery, it is not peaceful.

There are also a few pig houses that are half black and half white pigs of various colors, and their styles look a little different from those of wild boars.

After seeing it, old man Qian asked, "Isn't this a purebred wild boar?"

Xue Qunwu said with a smile: "The old man's eyes are as bright as a torch. This is indeed not a purebred wild boar, but a hybrid of a wild boar and a domestic pig. In recent years, wild boar has been very popular, but this wild boar has a disadvantage that it is too rough. So some people hybridized wild boars with domestic pigs, which not only shortened the growth cycle, but also improved the meat quality."

Most of the people here have eaten wild boar meat. People like Wang Laoqiang, Wang Bajinqian, etc. are all tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-t-t-t-t-t-t----in their view, as long as they have meat to eat, they don't have such high requirements.Only Zhang Taiping and Wang Gui nodded in agreement.

Looking at the restless wild boars in the piggery, Wang Bajin asked, "How do you raise these wild boars? Are you not afraid of them running away?"

Xue Qunwu shook his head and said: "It's just stocking on the hillside behind. You don't need to worry too much about escaping. Although these are still wild boars, they are still human-sized and lack a bit of wildness. Even if they are released, they will Running around, but not going straight into the deep mountains and being unable to get out. As long as there are people watching over you, you won’t be afraid of running away. Of course, it would be best to have one or two shepherd dogs.”

When leaving the pig house, Wang Gui asked a question that everyone was very concerned about: "How long will it take for these pigs you raise to come out of the cage?"

"Generally, if there are no accidents, ordinary domestic pigs can be ready for slaughter in three months, and new breeds like that hybridized with wild boars will take about three to four months before they can be slaughtered. As for pure wild boars, it will take five months. It’s been around, or even longer.” Xue Qunwu added, “Of course, the time I’m talking about is calculated from the stage of piglets that can guarantee the survival rate.”

After Zhang Taiping and Wang Gui came out, the others looked at each other with shock in their eyes.You must know that the pigs raised in the village are all ordinary domestic pigs. The shortest time is half a year before they are slaughtered, and some are eight or nine months, or even a year. From the beginning of the year to the New Year, they are released to kill or sell .

At this moment, everyone's hearts are shocked and their thoughts are surging. If the pigs they raise can have such a high slaughter rate, then it will definitely be a profitable industry.

Zhang Taiping asked: "How did you get your piggy?"

Others don't need to ask this question, because if you raise one or two piglets by yourself, you don't have to worry about this problem at all, but if you have them in the village, there must be hundreds of piglets, so the source of the piggies needs to be considered.

Xue Qunwu replied: "Ordinary domestic pigs are selected in nearby market towns, but these owners' cubs are ordered from special places, and those hybrids are also ordered."

Old man Qian asked strangely: "Why don't you breed piggies yourself, so that you don't have to spend money to buy piggies, wouldn't you earn more?"

Xue Qunwu shook his head and said: "The old man doesn't know something. The cultivation of this piggy seems simple, but it is not. Piggy is the most likely to get sick, and if it is not handled properly, it will die, and it is easy to stay in the piggery. The virus is not conducive to the subsequent breeding. It is much simpler to buy piglets directly from other places, and the health is guaranteed, and the hygienic environment in the pig house is also guaranteed. Although it costs a little more money, it is beneficial to the subsequent breeding .”

Old Man Qian nodded and said, "It seems that this is really completely different from raising pigs in our countryside."

After leaving the piggery, a big dog came out of the door. It was a big dog that was not tied by an iron chain. The old man Gui and Qian remained calm as before.

Zhang Taiping could tell that this was a Tibetan mastiff, although it was not a very pure breed, it was still very valuable.

This Tibetan mastiff did not show any attacking posture.Xue Qunwu patted the Tibetan Mastiff's neck and let it guard the door of the wild boar house.

After the Tibetan Mastiff was gone, Wang Peng was able to relax.This is not an ordinary dog. I know the Tibetan Mastiff, which can bring people the shadow of death. It has the same combat power as a wolf.

Wang Peng said to Zhang Taiping: "This dog is very big, brother, it will almost catch up with Ah Huang."

"Oh?" Xue Qunwu was a little surprised, "Brother Zhang also has a big dog in his house?" Big dogs like his Tibetan mastiff are rare, and only some special breeds can achieve it. Ordinary native dogs and shepherd dogs are simply not There was no such possibility, and Wang Peng's tone was bigger than his Tibetan mastiff, so he couldn't help being surprised.

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "We also live at the foot of the mountain, and we raise a big dog to guard the yard."

Wang Gui said to Xue Qunwu with a smile: "The big dogs in the Marshal's house are not ordinary dogs. There is only one purebred Tibetan mastiff, and the other two are also big dogs of extraordinary quality. Yours Tibetan Mastiff is not comparable."

"So powerful? Then when you have time, you have to go and see it." Xue Qunwu said.

Then I turned around on the hillside where the wild boars were stocked behind the yard.

Zhang Taiping asked: "I saw in the pig house just now that there is a sewer below, and the water and pig manure inside have been washed away from the sewer, but where did it go?"

Xue Qunwu smiled proudly and said, "Did you see that place?"

Everyone followed his finger to see a small house not far to the east of the yard.

Xue Qunwu continued: "Under that small house is a huge biogas pond, and all the pig manure on weekdays has been flushed there and turned into biogas."

Zhang Taiping and Wang Gui looked at each other, their eyes lit up.I was still worried that if the pigs were raised, the feces could not be disposed of in time, which would affect the overall environment of the village, especially after the development of the hot springs in the future.

The current biogas has pointed out a way for them, which not only solves this problem, but also provides energy for the village.If possible, use biogas to replace the energy problem of the whole village. This is a matter that is beneficial to the environment and the whole village.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Xue Qunwu smiled and pointed to the village not far away and said, "Don't think this village is close to the mountain, it's remote and small, but there are many people in it who have replaced firewood with biogas."

Wang Peng asked next to him, "Brother, what is marsh gas?" Several other people were also puzzled.

Zhang Taiping said: "I can't give you a detailed explanation now, but this biogas digester can solve the problem of pig manure. If it is placed in the ground for a period of time, it can produce a combustible gas similar to gas, which can be used like a gas stove. For cooking."

Although Wang Peng didn't know what methane gas was, he still had some understanding of gas stoves, and he could understand Zhang Taiping's meaning by comparison.
