Regarding pig castration technology, legend has it that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is now, the famous doctor Hua Tuo wanted to perform a craniotomy on Cao Cao to treat his illness. Cao Cao suspected that Hua Tuo had killed him, so he threw Hua Tuo into prison in anger.

Before he was executed, Hua Tuo gave the jailer the medical books he had written all his life.

Later, when Hua Tuo died, the jailer took the book home and read it under the lamp at night. The jailer's wife, fearing that it would bring trouble, took the book and threw it into the fire.

The jailer hurriedly went to pick it up from the fire, but unfortunately, only the last two or three pages of the green bag book were burned, and only the skills of wetting pigs and goats were left.

It was from here that the art of castrating pigs and goats began to spread among the people.

The legend goes like this.

As far as Li Mengxi knows, the methods of castrating pigs and goats in rural areas are different.

When I was a child, I watched people slaughter pigs. The castrated pigs were cut with a knife, and the lambs were rarely seen. When I was in primary school, my grandfather raised lambs. When the lambs were half-grown, when they were castrated, the eggs were tied with ropes, and then

Smashing the testicles of a sheep with a hammer is equivalent to castrating the sheep.

The difference between barrows and goats is here.

As for why the techniques are different, it may be that pigs and sheep have different physiological structures and the difficulty of castration is also different.

Li Mengxi thought about it, and when he set up camp in the evening, he marinated the pig.

The march continued, and the pigs continued to grunt.

When a child plays with something, his patience will not last long.

Little Brick hugged the pig and played with it for a while, but he no longer wanted to play. The little pig was dishonest, bucking and kicking, and Little Brick soon couldn't hold it back.

Finally, by accident, the pig ran out of Xiao Bian's arms, and Xiao Bian curled his lips and cried.

Li Mengxi is angry and funny.

The coachman Lao Tie stopped the car and before he was ready to go out to catch the pig, the little pig snorted and someone from behind helped catch the pig.

Li Mengxi thanked the kind soldier and took the piglet's legs with both hands.

"Look at you, I want to play with it." Li Mengxi taught his brother, "What should we do now? Where to put the pig?"

I have considered not killing the pigs. It has been too long and the piglets cannot bear the intestinal suturing. Even if they are killed and eaten, the piglets will not have enough meat. I have decided to keep them. Where to raise the pigs is still a question.

.

Li Mengxi thought of the carpentry camp. The carpentry camp is equivalent to the current military factory. If there is something missing, go to the carpentry camp and see if it can be made.

So, Li Mengxi took the piglets to the carpenter's camp and asked Lu Li to see if he could make a cage for raising pigs and a wooden pig trough.

Lu Li took the little pig, as if he had received a bomb, and he didn't know how to put it away.

Li Mengxi left the pig behind and left.

The craftsmen who were also from the carpenter camp found it funny when they saw Lu Li's bewildered look.

The arrival of the little pig adds some fun to the carpenter camp.

Although there was a shortage of meat in the army, and the little pig had no place in the craftsman camp, he could not eat pork, but he could quench his thirst by seeing the pigs running and hearing them grunting.

Li Mengxi gave up his work and put a bunch of carpenters, tools and wood in the car and followed the car, much more leisurely than the others. They were bored, so they started talking about pig cages while walking.

What to do.

"You can weave one from a bamboo batch."

"Muzhu? Where can I find it?"

"Then take a few sticks, one for each. The pig is not big, and the cage can't be too big."

Use scrap wood sticks to make a small cage. This method is generally recognized by carpenters.

You already have a cage, but you also need a pig trough.

The method that the craftsmen discussed in a few words was to cut off the tree trunk and dig out one piece.

The work was light and simple, but the carpenter was so bored that he stopped the fellow camper pulling the truck in front of him and said, "Hey, stop the car and let me get in."

The man pulling the cart didn't listen. He looked back and cursed, "The dog's cart is sinking. Climb up and do it!"

"You don't care about me!" As he spoke, the carpenter pulled the car over with his hand.

This is a car half loaded with miscellaneous things. Most of the carpenters' bedding and luggage are on the car. In addition, there are a small number of tools and a small amount of semi-processed wood, such as making wheels.

Square wood used, thin wooden strips used for scraping car spokes, etc.

The scoundrel carpenter climbed into the car and cursed at the man pulling the car from time to time. The scolding came back and forth, and it was very lively.

While cursing at others, the carpenter rummaged around in the car and found a few pieces of wood, comparing their lengths.

The wood is not long enough.

The man pulling the cart cursed again, and the carpenter cursed back.

Lu Li, who was following him, couldn't stand it anymore. Lu Li advised, "You'd better come down and walk by yourself."

If you were an ordinary person, you would just listen to the advice and come down.

But this scoundrel carpenter, who didn't follow the rules very well, had a thick skin. This scoundrel carpenter cursed at the team member who was pulling the car at the front, "I'm talking about rocks. I'll get on the car and throw you into the ball. I'm here."

I’ll just drag you along for a while.”

After saying that, the carpenter immediately changed his smile and looked down, "Are you right, battalion deputy? I'm in the car and I'm not resting. I can still cut two spokes, right?"

As he spoke, the carpenter actually picked up the wooden spokes and pretended to cut them with a sickle.

Lu Li opened his mouth, unable to say anything.

Call him lazy, but he is also working. Call him right, but the people in the crafts camp have no rules about climbing on the cart and staying seated while pulling the cart.

Lu Li felt unhappy, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.

Just when he was about to say a few more words, the carpenter on the car cut the spokes twice and stopped cutting them.

"Hey, I'm talking about the battalion deputy," the ruffian carpenter threw away the sickle and wooden stick in his hand, turned sideways and turned to Lu Li and said, "battalion deputy, if we have more cars, we will have enough empty cars.

One person has a car, and another person sits in the car.

If you can't do big jobs in a car, can you do small jobs as well?"

"If you leave for a whole day, you won't be able to do anything."

Having said that, the ruffian carpenter suddenly had an idea, his eyes widened suddenly, he looked over and looked straight at Lu Li, "Hey, battalion deputy, is this idea of ​​mine an idea?"

Lu Li's skills were limited, he was dull, and his brain was not very bright. Lu Li couldn't judge whether his ideas were different or not.

In fact, Lu Li didn't know whether any of his ideas would be useful.

Li Mengxi told Lu Li to remember what ideas the carpenters had and then report them to him.

Lu Li remembered this.

Lu Li nodded, "Let me ask you."

After all, I watched the scoundrel carpenter stop doing any work and start leisurely riding in the car with his back against the railing.

"Get off here!" Lu Li scolded him dissatisfiedly.

The ruffian carpenter smiled awkwardly and turned over to get out of the car with a thud.

It's afternoon now.

Since its establishment, the caravan has been fast and good.

There are only two caravans, each consisting of three knights and an empty carriage.

Along the direction of the march of the army, the two rangers spread out to the left and right and went several miles deep from the main road to search for villages.

The rebels are growing rapidly, and everyone and every aspect is growing.

Li Mengxi is becoming more and more familiar with various affairs, and he is making rapid progress. Taking the Ranger Caravan as an example, the Rangers are also growing steadily.

A caravan consists of four people, three riders and one cart. Among them, the entire purchasing process, including how to negotiate with passers-by and how to negotiate when going to the village to purchase, has a complete process.

The eight members of the traveling caravan gradually became familiar with the procurement process, and the procurement became more and more comfortable.

Purchasing is essentially spending money. It’s a good job to have hundreds of dollars on hand to spend as you wish.

The group on the left side of the caravan met another passerby on the road.

It was a pair of grandfather and grandson. The world was in turmoil. The old man carrying firewood also held a sharpened bamboo as tall as a person in his hand for self-defense. When the caravan came from a distance and smoke and dust started to rise on the road, the old man's expression changed.

I had to climb a ditch and run away while dragging my grandson with me.

"Hey!" The leading knight, a rugged man, immediately reined in his horse.

"You guys wait here." He said to the back, the cavalry captain dismounted and handed the reins to someone else.

"Old man, wait!" the cavalry captain raised his hand to greet him.

The pair of men, who were about to run away and looked panic-stricken, were suddenly stopped when they were called, and they stopped in fright and looked back in fear.

When he saw the cavalry dismounting and a leader-looking man walking over on foot, the old man carrying a bundle of firewood couldn't help but feel relieved.

As he approached, without saying anything, the cavalry leader took off the money bag from his waist without looking at it. He casually took out a handful of money, smiled and looked at the little baby huddled in the old man's arms with a scared look on his face, looking dirty.

Such a cute little baby, the cavalry leader thought of his own military advisor.
