If your family is going to pass on your ancestral chicken and pig castration skills to you, are you willing to take over?

Yes, it is equal to learn one more skill, the art does not pressure the body. If you castrate a pig, you can still have pig's balls to eat.

Even if you learn to castrate chickens and pigs, it's hard to use the technology in the future, and there's no market for it in our local villages. Now the state control, farming industry, especially pig industry, to factory intensive farming, away from residential areas. Its purpose on the one hand to engage in environmental metallurgy, on the other hand, in order to purify the people's table, to prevent the inflow of diseased pork into the market, as well as to facilitate the control of epidemics. So there are almost no retailers raising pigs in our rural areas.

Long so big have not seen castrated chickens, castrated roosters and hens lay eggs without fertilization, hatching chicklets, in the countryside no one to castrate chickens.

Castrated pigs, I saw too much as a child. At that time, every household in the countryside are raising pigs, sows under the piglets out of the full moon will have to be castrated for piglets. If you don't castrate, the piglets are prone to estrus, and once the piglets appear to be early, they are emotionally unstable, eat irregularly, and are prone to lose weight.

The most interesting thing, after castrating the piglets, you can eat pig eggs. Because when I was a kid, my family was too poor to eat meat, so after castrating a pig, I could have a nice meal if I got a pig's egg. But the pig's balls still taste fishy.

Readers, you ate pig's balls when you were a kid?

Q:If your family were to pass on your ancestors' chicken/pig castration skills, would you be willing to take over?

The pig castrator is also a craft job on our side, pig farmers will hire a pig castrator to castrate piglets when they are very young, because castrated pigs grow faster! The castrator generally castrate a pig to ten dollars and pig testicles, honestly this income as a part-time can, but if as the main business, it is difficult to ensure that the livelihood of the rich, so Kun think, technology can be inherited, after all, "more skills do not pressure the body," but take over even if.

Now around the home castration pig maker are some old people, these people can not do heavy work but gain, can not go out to work can only do this line of work to earn money, and now the young people can say that there is almost no work in this line, because after all, it is not good to listen to, and young people now want to sit in the office when the white-collar workers, there is no reason for people to do castration of pigs in this line of work, and young people to do the work of the girl friend is not good to look for!

Although the pig castrator is not lack of pig testicles to eat, but their lives are often not rich, this is because the pig castration wages are not high, and not all year round work, so down to the end of the year, almost not save the savings, which is also a real problem!

All in all, Ah Kun think, if my family to pass the ancestral pig castration technology to me, I will gladly agree, after all, the art of more than pressure, but succession is impossible, the first castrator listen to the work is not decent, the second castrator income is not stable, it is difficult to ensure that the livelihood of the rich! What do you think?

If it were me, I would certainly be willing to take over, but I only choose to castrate chicken technology. Because the castration of pigs have not seen, may only be a wage, castration of chickens is different, in addition to wages, castration down the "chickpeas" can also be sold at a good price.

Previously in our rural areas, every now and then there will be some castration master down, sometimes even a day to several it, which shows that in the past this industry is still very popular. Just now the rural chicken less people, many people also changed their profession. However, now also do more money than before, before castration of a chicken only a few cents, although now also three or five dollars, but now more "chickpeas", before no one wants, now several hundred dollars a catty it, and not often, many bosses are with the castration master booked in advance to pay, and so on there is sent over.

And now it's not like the old castrated chicken people, do not know which place has a master in the past, often blindly run. The author's local now every village is a fixed time and place to come, basically will not run empty. A few days ago just met a castration master to our village, asked him about his income, he said a year on average every day there are more than a hundred fast money income, which is very considerable in our rural areas, and free time, the work is also very easy.

If my family has castrated chickens and pigs, I will take over this craft, castrate pigs and chickens, which is a very good craft work in rural areas, castrate pigs and chickens, I'm willing to learn, I heard that this work in the countryside is very lucrative, although a job does not give much money, he also has a fixed job, and every day in the home someone looking for castration and castration of pigs and chickens, but also have a certain amount of income.

One, castrate pigs and chickens craft

If you take over this craft, every day to earn more money, if you want to carry things, to the rural areas of the various Tuen Mun walk, with a horn best, castrate pigs and chickens, very cheap, three dollars a la, castrate pigs and chickens this technical work, it is not very tired, for fear of work is not good to find, if the castration of a day of twenty chickens, ten piglets, can earn a more than 100 dollars. The first is that it is not a good idea to have a large chicken farm, but it is a good idea to have a large chicken farm, so it is not a problem to have a large chicken farm.

Two, ancestral craft work

Castrated chickens and pigs, he is the ancestral craft work, only to their own direct lineage of troops, hanging ancestral craft sign, castrated pigs and chickens will be more and more work, I once went to a large market in the countryside, saw castrated pigs and chickens of the people, there are people with a few roosters, go to find the person castrated chickens, said roosters castrated delicious, to save a tawdry smell, and a person with a small piglets and chickens, and a person with a small rooster, to find the person castrated chickens, said roosters castrated delicious, to save a tawny smell. The first thing that you need to do is to get a good deal of money from the government, and then you have to pay a lot of money for it.

This technology is easy to learn and easy to operate and does not require any big tools, often seen in the village when I was a child to help castrate chickens and pigs, castration fee is not expensive a few cents a pig fee is a little more expensive, due to too much time has been too little to remember, just think that this is a door craft, and now into the village to help the village is almost no, the family has the need for the street also to send their own to look for people, the price of the castration fee also went up 1.5 million dollars to find a person, the castration fee also went up 1.5 million dollars. The fee has also risen to 1.5 yuan / only.

This year's New Year's Eve when the family mistakenly bought a rooster, because there is a saying in the village is not eat roosters, so have been raised, I wanted to kill and forget the Ching Ming Festival, and finally raised to May, the rooster are old age, and then not eat the old man at home, can not eat, but to eat before you have to castrate the next day, so the next day, we grabbed a cage to the street chicken castration, castration of the chicken, the master said that the chicken is too old, it is estimated that the hand can not survive a few days. The master said that the chicken was too old and was not expected to last more than a few days. The family thought that this are brought or castrated it, the results of a small knife mouth down not long, the chicken has no vitality, with a foot kick it does not run, back home on the not, in vain, a chicken, but also in vain, raised so long.

This castration technology can earn money of course to take over the class, first of all, others sent to castrate the chicken out of things, castration master is confiscated, because this can be sold, I heard that a catty to dozens of dollars, and castrate the pig out of things will be more expensive, because there is a dish in the barbecue stalls called "piggy bank", a string of more than 10 dollars, if you are a good person. If you have learned this skill, you can specialize in working for people who raise pigs and chickens, and collect the things you take out and sell them for money plus the labor cost, you can count on an extra job in the countryside to earn money.

There are fewer pigs in the village, and it is unlikely that the pigs will be driven to the street for castration, but there are many people who raise chickens, and they will have to carry their own castration to the street, and set up a booth on the street, and the business will be delivered to the doorsteps, and if they are familiar with the work, other people will be invited to help castrate the pigs in the home, and when they come to the village, they will probably do business with more than one family, and the families will hear that they will come to the village, and they will ask to help for the convenience of their own convenience, and they will be paid for the help, and this way the charges will be quite a lot at a time. In addition, nowadays people are not too rare this job, will be less people, a person monopolized the whole village work, there is such a good thing, or learn more good.

The three hundred and sixty-sixth line, line out of the scholar. In the countryside, geldings are one of the 36 lines. This line of work has been passed down from the Warring States period to the present, and has supported countless people.

Now in the countryside, geldings and pig geldings are a very high threshold for this craft, not something you can learn if you want to learn, and you can take over if you want to take over. Now in some rural areas, that is, some people spend money to learn, are not necessarily a master is willing to teach.

In the past, when there was no means of earning money in the countryside, anyone who could geld a chicken or a pig would be able to feed his family. Now geldings have become a scarce craft, like the masters in my town, the least of which earns 100,000 dollars a year.

It is important to know that in the past, there were a lot of people in the countryside who could geld chickens and pigs, and basically there were a few masters doing business in the villages every day. And in the past, the rural areas are individual farming, every family has some chickens, but not many. The gelders had to go door-to-door to do business and faced competition from many people. In fact, in the past, the geldings master, indeed nothing to make money, just earn a little hard work to ensure that the family subsistence only.

With more and more farmers going to the city to work in the countryside, fewer people are raising chickens and pigs in the village, which once made those geldings and geldings even worse, so some of the geldings and geldings were put down by the geldings and geldings and the young people were not willing to enter the business.

With fewer and fewer people knowing the craft, some have changed their profession, some have passed away, etc., and very few people have joined the profession, the people who know how to geld chickens and pigs in the countryside have become more and more precious.

This is a profession that can be very appetizing. When the industry becomes popular, it becomes very difficult for a layman to enter the circle and learn the trade. Simply put, those who know how to geld chickens and pigs, and their craftsmanship is outstanding and recognized by everyone, they will only pass their craftsmanship on to their sons, and even their relatives are reluctant to pass it on for fear that more people will join the profession and steal their jobs. As for passing on the art to outsiders, like the geldings in my town, the masters have long said that they will not teach even if they are given tuition fees.

Geld the chicken and geld the pig, this craft, the layman seems to think it is very simple, is not the first chicken side parts, a little bit of the chicken legs there, go a little bit of hair, and then use a knife to open a mouth, take out the chickpeas, do not have to sew on it. And geldings are even simpler, hang up the piglets, grab the pig beans with your hands, squeeze them up, cut them with a knife, and then pick them, and the beans come down. Before and after less than a minute.

This craft is like a layman watching a doctor doing surgery, sterilizing the patient's skin, then cutting it open, cutting out the lesions, and then sewing it up, and then it's done.

In practice, it never looks so easy to take geldings.

The opening position, if the opening is off, it is not easy to take chickpeas, and it is easy to take unclean. As long as the root of the chickpea is not clean, there is residue, then the chicken even if the geldings have failed. When the chicken grows up, it will grow a crown and have male characteristics. For this kind of geld failure geldings, it is very difficult to sell, even if the price is half the price is not willing to take.

For the novice geld master, the incision is small, he can't take out the chickpeas, and the incision is big, the chicken is easy to die, and the wound is not easy to heal, increasing the risk of chicken wound infection.

In addition to the incision problem, and then take chickpeas and deal with the chicken body lining, there are also a lot of skills. In short, novice gelders not only increase the risk of geld failure, but also increase the risk of chicken death. In the case of having a master to bring, novice gelders become veteran gelders, all of them have to go through a lot of chickens to practice. And those who are groping on their own, even more do not know how many chickens to waste to get out of the master it.

Besides the technical aspect, there is also the aspect of reputation and public recognition. Because geldings are a very technical craft. Many individual farmers, or farms, would rather spend more money to hire a master, but also not willing to find a master's apprentice, not to mention hiring those who are untrained.

It's simple, a thousand chickens, the teacher geld, two dollars a labor fee, may only ten is a failure or dead. And the novice apprentice, a dollar and a half a labor fee, there may be dozens of chicken failure and death. And the uneducated person, there may be hundreds of chickens are failure and death, just do not use the money, no one wants. The chicken itself is not very profitable, failure so much, farmers are not a big loss.

Like my side of the town that a few geldings geldings master, for what annual income of more than 100,000?

First of all, they geld a chicken's labor cost ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 yuan. Generally, they geld for farms. Because of the large number, one person can geld thousands of chickens a day. Usually go to the countryside, will be fixed time fixed place, let the village people bring chickens over to geld, greatly improving the efficiency.

In addition to the geldings of the labor cost is very substantial, more profitable from the chickens taken off the chickpeas. That chickpeas, but very expensive, and in short supply, hundreds of dollars a catty. An average of forty chickens will have a catty of chickpeas. If you geld a farm, you can geld twenty pounds of chickpeas a day. A day can earn a few thousand dollars.

And the countryside, the chicken is not so much, a few pounds of chickpeas a day or a few pounds of chickpeas, that light chickpeas is a few hundred dollars. Geldings master, monthly income of ten thousand yuan are very easy. In the countryside monthly income of more than ten thousand, is very high income.

Income so high occupation, you think there is an opportunity to take over if you are willing to take over?

Rural residence in the rural life, remember the previous earlier years, people have not gone out to work, are at home farming and planting, will be a bit of handicraft is very popular, like castration of chickens and pigs can make money, although contact with chickens, pigs are more dirty, stink; before, and is willing to do this work is not much, and every family and every family have a lot of chickens, ah, pigs, a castration of chickens and pigs, the master is usually A master who can castrate chickens and pigs usually serves more than one village, and now few people are willing to do such a job, they all go out to work; if someone passes on the ancestral chicken and pig castration technology to me, I am willing to learn.

Now the countryside will castrate chickens and pigs less, people are going out to work, raising chickens, pigs are also a lot less, the younger generation has not suffered anything, of course, not willing to learn, all day long with those chickens, pigs, dirty and smelly to deal with the same age for fear of laughing at the lack of success, and then again, castrate chickens and pigs can not earn a lot of money, and the family still have to build a house, renovate the house to buy a car, to get married, and which young man is willing to learn it? Which young man is willing to learn? And women, generally more timid, but also embarrassed to do this line, to move the sharp knife, for fear of accidentally hurt his hand, but also afraid of people laughing, embarrassed.

Previously, the mother of the countryside vegetables sows, each time the production of piglets up to more than 20 days, ready to wean before the mother will pay to piglets to go (that is, castration); and each time the production of piglets is generally in the 10-13 such, a year 2 times, and do not have to keep the piglets as breeding pigs, are to go, but also an expenditure, the back of the mother to see the castration of others is not difficult, and also to their own I've been trying to give my family's piglets a go (with my dad helping out on the side), and I don't see anything wrong with them, and they're all growing up just fine.

Now the countryside is also living in the rural life, if someone to castrate the ancestors of the chicken castration technology to me, I am willing to learn, learn to castrate chickens, chickens only small, relatively simple; also do not want to earn any money, after all, now the rural pig very little very little, chicken, it is also a hen on the side of more than a rooster on the side of the small amount of need to castrate less than a chicken to make any money, as a skill, maybe someday it will be used to, the chicken, and then I'm going to try to make some money. After all, I also plan to raise some chickens, and the village neighbors also raise chickens, maybe one day can help them.

Now I don't see anyone down in the village yelling to ask who wants to castrate the chicken, I saw a roadside earth house on the back wall of the written castration phone, who need to call so, because too few people raise roosters, generally raise hens to stay in the eggs, sell, castrate the master down in the village to yell in vain to waste of time, are changing careers to do the other, some people called to go to castrate the chicken on the way to go.

The former ancestral castration technology in rural areas, like gabion, is about to disappear, the feeling of being able to take over is also a legacy, so that they can master a skill, even if it can not be used as a profession to make a living, as a person living in the countryside, it will be useful.

The technology of castration is basically not used anymore, before it was a full castration of male and female pigs, sows should be in the belly of the pig under the knife to pick out the uterus, the work of this high technology, so you have to ask the master who knows the technology. Now the sows are not castrated, boars, pig farmers can castrate themselves. So you don't need to learn how to castrate a pig, you can't raise a family.

Chicken castration on the money, now the rooster can be castrated in about a month. A master can castrate 1500 a day, to the farmers castration also want 1 yuan a. A day can earn 1500 yuan, we have a lot of masters are driving two or three hundred thousand cars to give people castration. So castration is still a good industry.

I am definitely willing. Because, this is not simply a technology, its value is multi-faceted, and is permanent, sustainable. It's not just a skill, it's valuable in many ways, and it's permanent and sustainable.

First of all, he is ancestral, inevitably with a unique summary of experience and technical accumulation, with the uniqueness of the technology. If this is just a simple technology, I think it is two can, nothing great. However, although the simple technology, after a long period of accumulation, summarization, enhancement, the value has been enhanced, it is no longer simple. In their own hands, to be able to enhance the ancestral technology, it has a sense of mission and sense of accomplishment, my personal value has been greatly enhanced.

Secondly, as a special profession, it is a very good choice to make a living. At least it is not like other professions, there is too much pressure of career and job competition, and there is more independent time that can be used for technical learning and improvement. Even if I don't pursue this career, he can be the most powerful backup for my professional life.

Third, it has the potential for sustainable development. As long as human society still needs to breed poultry and livestock, this technology will always have a future. And the breeding of poultry and livestock is continuous and uninterrupted, this technology is also corresponding to the permanent, uninterrupted, sustainable.

There is a unique technical content, long-term, sustainable need for technology, everyone needs. Moreover, it has a very good future, both as a profession and as a career. I believe that not only I would like to do it, but also you would like to do it.

In fact, like in the past, this castration of chickens and pigs technology is the old generation of people handed down things, but now learn less people, castration should still have a lot of pigs, after all, is in order to let the pig grow faster, but castration of chickens is really very rarely heard of. However, these techniques have not disappeared, but with the passage of time, it is estimated that very few people will specialize in learning these things again.

Of course, it's not that one wouldn't want to learn to do this, the question is what is the outlook for this industry now, and what is the income. Perhaps many people say, for this traditional things can not be measured by money, but in real life, and how many people can escape the money?

Why is it that now the old generation of people handed down things to learn fewer and fewer people, the key is not to make money ah! Their busy work for days of handmade work, people with the machine a few minutes may be done, and get to the market to buy above, not many people can really distinguish in the end who's handmade, who's the machine to do. We can't be financially free, so we can just go and be slaves to money.

We have an old gentleman like that is also the old generation down to do bone massage, I was a child after the foot wrong wrist, to his side of the people with the hand to press the press, kneaded, not out of three days can get off the ground. Of course the process is quite painful, anyway, I guess that time my screams can be heard throughout the village. The number of people who went to his house to seek his help was really kind of endless. However, when I met him later and chatted with him, I asked him if he had passed on this craft to his son, and he said that his son didn't want to learn it and didn't think he could make much money doing it. It seems that their generation has a saying is to go to him to see the doctor can, but can not collect money, of course, can send some gifts and so on.

In this money-oriented society, more and more things are being thrown away by our own hands.
