Recently, Li Jianbing has been arranging things in the village. Seeing that Li Zhe was relieved to let Li Jianbing do things, the second grandfather Li Manfu also began to gradually let go and began to enjoy his old age.
Therefore, Li Jianbing usually comes to Li Zhe to discuss anything in the village. There is nothing major that can help his old man, and his old man basically doesn't come now.
After a sound of the iron door being pushed open, Li Jianbing walked in and said:
"Brother Zhe, there seems to be some movement among the sows that mate with wild boars in our village..."
As soon as Li Zhe heard this, he put down what he was doing. This was a bit surprising to him. These wild boars were really powerful. They left their seeds so quickly. This movement naturally meant that they were pregnant. .
"Let's go and take a look! How many houses have there been any movement?"
After talking to his father Li Weiguo, Li Zhe and Li Jianbing went to play with the dozens of households in the village that had sows bred with wild boars. As they walked, Li Jianbing said:
"At first, Uncle Youcai's family discovered it. Later, almost everyone in the village noticed the movement. The wild boars no longer went back to the mountains every evening as before, but instead circled around the sows and refused to leave. go."
After walking a few steps, I arrived at a family's home. The sow in this family also hooked up with a wild boar on the mountain. It was Li Youcai who was the first sow in the family to hook up with a wild boar on the mountain.
When Li Zhe and Li Jianbing arrived at his pigsty, they saw a wild boar wandering around the pigsty, looking around with wary eyes. Inside the pigsty lay a sow with a fat head and big ears.
It's just that Li Zhe couldn't tell that the sow was pregnant at all. It was no different from before.
"Uncle Youcai, how did you tell that your sow was making trouble? I don't understand anything and couldn't tell it at all? What's more, your pig and wild boar have only been together for a month. So, Can you see the movement soon?"
Li Youcai on the side suddenly showed a proud look on his face. Firstly, his sow had made a move so quickly, and secondly, he could show off his knowledge in front of a powerful man like Li Zhe. He opened his mouth and said:
"Li Zhe, you are a cultured person. Naturally, you don't understand the knowledge of us lower-class people in the countryside. Your talented uncle can tell whether the sow is moving or not at a glance!"
Li Zhe was also interested when he heard this. He really didn't know much about these things. Although his family had raised pigs before, his parents wanted him to study well and go to university, so they didn't let Li Zhe come into contact with these things. Want to ask for advice:
"I want to learn from you, Uncle Youcai!"
When Li Youcai heard that Li Zhe, a powerful man in the village, said that he wanted to learn from him, the look of pride on his face became more and more prosperous.
Who is Li Zhe? He was a powerful man who led the people in the village to get rich. It would be a shameful thing to ask him for advice now!
Li Youcai started to explain without giving in.
"You can usually tell if there is any movement in this sow in about a month. Look at our sow's appetite and sleepiness now than before. And look at her smooth fur and close-fitting movement, and her tail is drooping. Even her temperament is much docile, which is all a sign of pregnancy!"
"Also, our wild boar usually won't continue to be in estrus after becoming pregnant. This pig is very grumpy when it's in estrus, which can be clearly seen. It's been thirty days now and our sow is also If you don’t go into heat again, you’re pregnant!”
"And the most important thing is, look at the appearance of the wild boar. Before, it didn't care about anything after eating. Now look at it, it's obviously like it's protecting its cubs."
Li Zhe couldn't understand what Uncle Youcai was explaining about the sow's behavior. These villagers were veterans of raising pigs, so they would definitely not make mistakes.
Moreover, Li Zhe could see the performance of the wild boar and verified from the side that the sow was pregnant. Sometimes this farmer's native method is more accurate than those scientific verification methods.
······
Next, Li Zhe and Li Jianbing visited all the houses in the village where the sows were making noises, and the scenes they saw were similar. The wild boars that had finished eating and then returned to the mountain all stayed around the pig pens and refused to leave. Go, like guarding a pregnant sow.
"Now I have more than a dozen litters of wild boar cubs, so I'm rich!"
After these sows give birth, the number of piglets in a sow's litter is generally between eleven and twelve, which means that you can have more than a hundred hybrid wild boar cubs at once, and you can have one generation at a time. With one generation of cultivation, the scale can become larger and larger. It is impossible to say that this hybrid wild boar cub can become another new way of making money for Lijiaji.
Before Li Zhe could recover from his immersion in joy, Li Jianbing on the side raised a practical problem.
"Brother Zhe, now this wild boar is staying next to the pig pen to guard the pregnant sow. People in these villages can't sleep well. It is a wild boar after all."
Li Zhe thought about it for a while, who could sleep with a wild boar outside in the middle of the night? Although these wild boars have behaved very docilely in recent days and seem to be less aggressive, they are still wild boars after all.
If the wild boar goes crazy, even a few adults are no match. It is no problem to be as strong as a man, and the strength is amazing. Even if the wooden doors of the farmhouse are tied up, they can't stop these wild boars. If the wild boar goes crazy, the whole door will be covered. It's not impossible to fall down.
Especially the wild boar that guards its pregnant mate is in a very vigilant state. If there is any disturbance in the middle of the night, the wild boar may be regarded as a threat. If any unlucky villager wakes up in the middle of the night and disturbs the wild boar, That would be troublesome. You have to let people poop and pee.
The toilets in farmhouses are usually built outdoors, and the smell of chamber pots and the like is very strong when placed inside. It is common to wake up in the middle of the night, especially for families with children...
Li Zhe thought that this was the case. It was time to find a solution. Moreover, it usually takes about 114 days from pregnancy to farrowing, which is nearly four months. These are all Li Zhe's reasons. Zhe knew it after listening to Uncle Youcai’s explanation.
When the sow gives birth to a large litter of piglets, the wild boars will definitely not leave. The animals' love for protecting their calves is very strong.
And when the time comes, it will be okay for a large sow and a litter of piglets to live in the pig pen, but it will be dwarfed by a larger wild boar. After all, the farmer's pig pen is only designed for sows and pigs. In the past, breeding pigs were usually used to breed pigs. After breeding, they would be taken away, but the sows would not be guarded like now.
Li Zhe thought for a while and said:
"It's better to drive all these wild boars and sows to the mountains and build several pig houses for them to manage them uniformly. It will be safer in the mountains and the villagers will no longer have to worry."
Li Zhe's idea was the most direct and effective method. Li Jianbing on the side naturally did not disagree and said directly:
"I think it's okay. Then we'll discuss it with Grandpa Er and listen to the villagers' opinions."
Li Zhe and Li Jianbing went to the second grandfather Li Manfu and told them about the current situation in the village and about building a pig house on the mountain and driving all the sows and wild boars to the mountain for management.
After listening to Li Zhe's narration, Li Manfu took a sip of tea and said directly:
"You have an idea and my old man naturally supports it. Besides, I know that everyone in the village is worried now. From now on, you can just take care of the affairs in this village. My old man is too old to take care of it anymore!"
"Second Grandpa, what are you talking about? Your old body is still very healthy. Major events in this village must be decided by you."
After exchanging pleasantries with second grandfather Li Manfu, Li Zhe and Li Jianbing went door-to-door to those whose sows were pregnant and told them that the sows and wild boars would be driven up the mountain together to agree to management.
He also mentioned that the hybrid wild boar cubs might be turned into an industry in the future, and the money earned in the future would belong to the village collective, that is, the company. These things must be explained clearly first, so as not to cause trouble later on. .
Naturally, these families readily agreed. A wild boar was at their door every day. Fortunately, they could not sleep well at night. The villagers all agreed with the decision to release the wild boar into the mountains. As for the future hybrid wild boar, Not to mention Zaizi’s matter, the villagers all said:
"What's this? This is the way you came up with. Let this sow seduce the wild boar on the mountain for no money. She will definitely return to the village by then. Aren't you embarrassing us! You kid If you say you have such a status, I will talk about you carefully..."
After being scolded by the villagers, Li Zhe couldn't talk back, so he could only flee with Li Jianbing.
Later, Li Zhe also handed over the matter of finding a construction team to build a pig house on the mountain to Li Jianbing. Young people just need to exercise more, otherwise how can they be lazy.
This pig house is mainly built for sows. After all, wild boars grow wild and don't need any pig houses.
Because these domesticated sows are generally very fond of home, if they run up the mountain and run back to the pig pens of villagers down the mountain, the wild boars will have to follow them back, and the villagers will still be worried.
Build a pig house for them on the mountain to prevent them from going back to the pig pen at the bottom of the mountain. After they get familiar with it, the sows will naturally not go back to the mountain again. Those wild boars will naturally be where their partners are. And there is also their eldest brother’s family on the mountain. The pig house was also built in the activity area previously designated for the big wild boar, just in time to reunite these wild boar brothers.
Li Jianbing also directly found a construction team from Jiangcheng to build the pig house!
A simple building structure like a pig house with a square roof is enough to keep out wind and rain. It is too simple. However, the construction team completed it in just a few days. The next thing is to give the sows in the village to After rushing up the mountain to their new home, the wild boars naturally followed their husbands.
However, these wild boars are still dangerous to a certain extent, especially when the sows are still pregnant. The villagers' behavior of driving away the sows may be regarded as dangerous behavior by the wild boars, and things can easily happen.
So Li Zhe also called down the two idiots Dahuang and Dahei from the mountain to suppress the formation.
I believe that with these two fools, those wild boars would not dare to act rashly.
