East African Kingdom, the first town, Lufu Village.

A tragedy is happening at the entrance of the village. If you pass by the entrance of Lufu Village at this time, all you can hear is the sound of tearing and howling.

Today, all the villagers in Lufu Village went to the entrance of the village to join in the fun and watch the tragedy happen. Some people who hadn't seen such a scene for many years watched with relish, and some people who had never seen such a thing cried out in surprise.

Especially the white villagers, who have never seen such a scene before, they are shocked, and at the same time feel their lower body tighten, as if they have already felt the same.

"My God, is he really a veterinarian? I think he looks more like a butcher, and his equipment looks very different from ordinary knives, more like a flattened spoon, is this from your east What secret technique? Andre." Yuris asked Andre, his neighbor to the east, who was also the captain of the village's security.

"According to your European principles, yes, treating pigs is not a veterinarian! After all, this is part of the operation. I think pig cutting should also be counted as surgery! The pig cutting knife should be regarded as a kind of scalpel." Andre tried to explain to Uris in his own language.

Uris: "But these pigs are healthy! They don't look sick, so what's the point?"

Andre: "Healthy? Have you ever eaten pork?"

Uris: "I've eaten it!"

Andre: "That's good. When I was in Germany, I also saw your pork. It is indeed much stronger than Far East pork, and it is the kind that can't be washed with water."

Andre graduated from Hechingen School. He was sent to East Africa without going to junior high school, so he still has some knowledge.

Andre: "So you don't castrate piglets when you raise pigs?"

Uris: "Of course, none of us in Europe do this. Is there something special about it?"

Andre said like Julius Cop: "Let me tell you this, after the piglet is castrated, the meat grows faster and the taste is not bad. If it is not castrated, the pork produced will be very smelly."

Uris was a little dubious and said, "Is that really the case?"

Andre: "What to do to lie to you, this is the experience summed up by the predecessors! After all, everything has its reason for its existence, but the meat of castrated pigs is more delicious, and your ancestors have not come to discover it. "

Yuri: "So that's it! That is to say, this castrated pig has grown up and has no smell?"

Europeans also eat pork, but they do not castrate pigs in breeding. This kind of pork has a very strong taste, so secondary processing is very important. Most Europeans are not very good at handling pork. They usually use spices to prepare pork. Masks pork smell.

Although East Africa is one of the spice-producing countries, the planting area is not large, and spices are mainly exported. Common people in East Africa don't need spices. This is Ernst's opinion.

How to solve the problem of the strong smell of pork is naturally to introduce the profession of piggery to castrate piglets, but according to Western standards, piggery is a proper veterinarian.

He looked like a butcher, but he was actually a veterinarian in East Africa. At that stop, two villagers handed over a piglet. He lifted the leg of the pig with one hand, and grasped the piglet in his hand.

He casually took a sterilized pig's knife from the porcelain bowl filled with alcohol, "Splitting the road of life and death with both hands, cutting the root of right and wrong with one knife."

In an instant, the knife was raised and the knife was aimed at the lychee of the little piggy. In an instant, two lychees fell into the bowl prepared in advance.

Only then did the little piggy react, screaming in pain. The veterinarian took a needle and thread to sew a few times, and sprinkled some powder on the wound. The castration operation was completed, and the people on both sides watched carefully. .

"Okay, are there any piglets in your village? If there are any piglets that need to be slaughtered, please send them here as soon as possible, and I'll hurry to the next village!" the veterinarian said.

There are few veterinarians in East Africa, and there are even fewer veterinarians who can castrate pigs, so most of them are mobile jobs. According to the government's arrangement, they castrate live pigs in the area they are responsible for along a fixed route.

"It's gone, it's gone, these are the piggies that the government sends!"

The piglets are distributed by the East African government to the villages for free to raise. They are used to increase the meat consumption of East African residents, and to consume the overproduced food.

In East Africa, the breeding industry is divided into farming in agricultural areas and farming in pastoral areas. Breeding in pastoral areas is easy to understand, and farming in agricultural areas is dominated by captive breeding, with feed feeding accounting for the majority.

In the past, cattle and horses were mainly raised in captivity in East Africa. Now the production of cattle and horses has increased to a certain extent, but they are mainly used for labor and transportation.Among them, some of the northern pastures are used for export, but very few are distributed to the bowls of East African people.

In fact, the pastures in East Africa are far inferior to those in other regions, and they are worse than those in Australia.

Like Europe, North and South America have humid grasslands that are most suitable for pasture growth, while the wet places in East Africa are rainforests, and the grasslands are divided into rainy and dry seasons.In the dry season, the pasture will decrease, which is not conducive to grazing
Therefore, in East Africa, both pasture farming and agricultural farming have always been emphasized. However, farming in agricultural areas is relatively scattered and the units are relatively small, but the volume is not inferior to farming in pastoral areas.

At the same time, farming in agricultural areas is naturally more suitable for raising grains, chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, and pigs. Among them, pork is very suitable for increasing the meat production in East Africa. First, it only takes about half a year for a pig to be slaughtered, and it has a strong reproductive capacity. Secondly, pigs As an omnivorous animal, it is not picky at all. There are a lot of agricultural and sideline products that can be used as feed for pigs. Relatively speaking, the cost of raising pigs is lower than that of other animals.

In East Africa, there are a large number of potatoes and other crops specially grown for black slaves. These crops that do not require much effort are not troublesome to grow, and the yield is huge, which can be used as pig feed.

The choice of meat for Europeans is not much different from that of the Far East. Everyone has always used pork as the most important source of meat, and only people influenced by Arab culture do not eat pork.

The Germans have great enthusiasm for eating pork, which is reflected in the production of various sausages.However, in the current era, it is good for everyone to be able to eat enough, and it is not so particular, just throw it in the pot and cook it.

This time, the East African Kingdom introduced a total of 20 breeding pigs, mainly in the Central Province, the Coastal Province, the Maritime Lake Province, and the South Salzburg Province. .

Large-scale breeding has high risks and high technical requirements. One carelessness may cause the entire army to be wiped out, especially in captivity, where so many livestock are kept together, and hygiene problems are not easy to solve.
