Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 70 Stable source of red luck

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.

Then, he rotated the pig knife left and right, expanding the wound laterally.

"Ouch~"

As soon as this action came out, the piggy howled immediately because he felt the pain.

In fact, this is also part of the surgical process.

Letting the pig howl will help increase the pressure in the pig's abdominal cavity, making it easier to squeeze out the ascites and uterine horns.

Of course, this process also requires certain techniques, including constant pressing on the pig's abdomen. Soon, Xiang Yunduan saw the piglet's uterine horns at the wound site. At this time, he reversed the pig knife, used the small hook on the handle of the knife, went deep into it, and slowly removed the uterine horns and the ovaries on both sides. All are ticked out.

Then it's easy, just use blunt force to cut off all the uterine horns, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.

At this point, even if 90% is completed, all that remains is to use iodophor to disinfect the pig's wounds again.

After finishing, lift the pig upside down and pat the pig belly gently with your hands. The purpose of this step is to prevent the pig's intestines from getting stuck in the incision.

After everything was done, Xiang Yunduan also breathed out silently.

After all, it was his first time doing it and he was really inexperienced. He was really afraid of something going wrong.

Fortunately, the silver-level slaughtering skills are still very powerful, and there are no mistakes. It is just that compared to those experienced, his speed is still a little slow.

"Hey, red luck?"

After successfully castrating the first sow piglet, Xiang Yunduan was surprised to find that the luck he got this time was actually red.

"I just don't know if it's an exception or if all sow piglets have red luck?"

With expectations in his heart, Xiang Yunduan brought another sow piglet over and continued the castration.

But this time, he had experience. While castrating, he began to explain to Wang Shitou next to him.

The boar can understand it at a glance, so there is no need to say more, but the sow cannot. This must be explained more. After all, first of all, determining the position of the knife is not a simple matter.

Once the position is not found correctly, the knife may easily injure other organs, which is not good.

Moreover, the operation is only the first step. How to successfully pull out the uterine horns and ovaries later is even more difficult.

This time, Xiang Yunduan moved slower and lasted longer because he was accompanied by an explanation.

Moreover, Xiang Yunduan had the wound of this pig sutured in the end, not because of any problem, but mainly to teach Wang Shitou skills.

Although suturing is generally not required, suturing skills definitely need to be mastered, just in case.

You can't say that if something happens and you need to use suture skills, but you don't know how to do it, then it's over.

In this way, Xiang Yunduan and Wang Shitou, one taught and the other learned, time passed quickly. As more and more pigs were slaughtered, Xiang Yunduan also completely verified his previous ideas.

This sow actually had red luck throughout the entire journey!

This was such a surprise to him. It was equivalent to obtaining a stable source of red luck.

It's just that this pig can't be slaughtered every day. It may even take his turn for several months or even a year.

But this is already very good. After all, it takes at least several hundred pigs at a time, and the sow piglets should account for half of the number. This is not a small number.

Because he had a stable source of red luck, Xiang Yunduan was in a good mood. The last little boar even allowed Wang Shitou to try it out.

Of course, it was not all done by Wang Shitou, but Xiang Yunduan grabbed the little boar's descendant bag, tightened the skin on the descendant bag, and then let Wang Shitou cut the little bit of skin with his knife.

Just like this, Wang Shitou was so excited that he shouted with excitement.

"Okay, okay, stop screaming. Where did you go? Besides, why did I see you clamping your thighs when you did it?" Xiang Yunduan said with a smile.

"Oh, Master, you don't know, when I picked out those two bells just now, I felt a chill in my crotch, and my hands and feet were a little numb." Wang Shitou said with some emotion.

"Haha, I don't think you were so nervous when you were killing the pig. Why is the pig's hands and feet numb?" Xiang Yunduan said strangely.

"That's different. This thing... How should I put it? Anyway, I would rather die than be treated like this. I'm surprised. What do you think of those who used to be eunuchs in the palace? ?

If it was forced, forget it, but I heard that there are people who take the initiative to kill themselves and then seek to enter the palace.

I heard my father say that there used to be a guy in our alley who entered the palace on his own initiative. However, within two months of entering the palace, the Republic became a republic. Tell me, how terrible this is! "

Wang Shitou said with a sigh on his face, seeming to be very sympathetic to what happened to that man.

"Some people are just for power. After all, it is very tempting to be able to do things to the level of Wei Zhongxian and Li Lianying.

There are also people who really can't live any longer. They will starve to death if they don't enter the palace, so they can only think of a way! "

Xiang Yunduan agreed with Wang Shitou's words. The question of death or castration was indeed a very difficult decision for a man to make. The explosion was as severe as a mother and daughter-in-law falling into the water at the same time and neither of them knew how to swim.

……

Dinner was eaten in the commune.

The large canteen here has also been built, and it can be said that the progress is quite fast.

Xiang Yunduan was still surprised at first, but he understood it while eating.

When the canteen of Qianjin Commune was first built, it was built to make it easier for the villagers who went to build the dam to eat.

The construction of Miyun Reservoir started this year, and many nearby villages have provided manpower.

Because Qianjin Commune was close to the place where the dam was built, it was responsible for the food problem of these people.

Later, I found that this model still has many advantages. It can save a lot of time to focus on work, so it began to be extended to all villagers.

To be honest, many things these days are really achieved through hard work. Many projects are worked on day and night, working in shifts, such as road construction, water canal construction, land reclamation, mining, etc. wait.

The canteen did make a great contribution in this regard at the beginning, but later it went wrong...

Originally, if we ran a large canteen like a factory canteen, there would be no problem at all. The only bad thing was that it was free.

Originally, when each of us was cooking at home, we planned how much we would eat every day, when we would eat dry food, and when we would eat thin food. This would allow us to reasonably allocate the food we have, so that there would be no shortage of food.

But once it’s free, everyone eats freely. If you eat less than others, you feel like you’re at a disadvantage. Obviously you’re full after eating four taels, but when you see others eating five taels, you feel unbalanced, even if you’ve already eaten. If you can't eat anymore, you still have to find a way to eat another one or two, and the atmosphere will suddenly become bad.

In this case, it is not surprising that the large canteen at the back cannot be opened.

After having a meal in the front cafeteria, Xiang Yunduan witnessed a bizarre and funny performance.

This further strengthened his idea to quickly find a way to stock up on food.

Unfortunately, he personally has no way to buy food from the countryside. If he has a public identity as a purchaser, he may still be able to use the opportunity of purchasing for the unit to do some tricks and help himself stock up on goods.

Now I can only wait to find a solution in the pigeon market after returning to the city.

Fortunately, there was no delay, because before he went to the countryside, he discovered that the pigeon market might have been secretly targeted because of the black market. During this period, it was really not appropriate to act rashly.

　Useless trivia: Miyun was only placed under the jurisdiction of Sijiu City in October 1958. It used to belong to Hebei Province. The plot requires it, so it is slightly advanced in the book.
