African Entrepreneurship Record

June 12, 1871.

The first town and city of the East African Kingdom, Lufu Village.

A tragedy is taking place 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 angry roars.

Today, all the villagers in Lufu Village came to the entrance of the village to join in the fun and watch the tragedy. Some people who had not seen such a scene for many years watched with relish, and some people who had never seen such a thing exclaimed.

Especially the white villagers, who had never seen such a scene before, they were deeply shocked, and at the same time they felt their lower bodies tighten, as if they had experienced the same thing.

"Oh my God, is he really a veterinarian? I think he looks more like a butcher, and his equipment looks very different from an ordinary knife, more like a flattened spoon. Is this something from the East? What secret skill? Andrei." Juris asked Andrei, his eastern neighbor and the village security captain.

"According to your European theory, it's true. Treating pigs is not a veterinarian! After all, this is part of the operation. I think the pig cutting should be considered an operation! The pig cutting knife should be regarded as a kind of scalpel." Andre tried his best to explain to Yuris in his own language.

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

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

Yuris: "I have eaten it!"

Andre: "That's good. When I was in Germany, I also saw your pork. It does have a much stronger smell than Far Eastern pork, and it can't be washed clean with water."

Andre graduated from the Hechingen School and was sent to East Africa without going to junior high school, so he still had this knowledge.

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

Juris: "Of course, no one in Europe does this. Is there something special about it?"

Andrei said to Yuris Kop: "Let me tell you this, after the piglet is castrated, the meat will grow faster and the taste will not be bad. If it is not castrated, the pork produced will have a bad smell."

Juris said a little doubtfully: "Is this really the case?"

Andre: "Why are you lying to me? This is all the experience summed up by the predecessors! After all, everything has its reason for existence, but the meat of castrated pigs is more delicious. Your ancestors haven't discovered it yet." "

Yuri: "I see! That means this castrated pig has grown up and doesn't smell bad?"

Europeans also eat pork, but pigs are not castrated during breeding. Such pork has a very rich flavor, so secondary processing is very important. Most Europeans are not very good at handling pork and usually use spices. Masks the smell of pork.

Although East Africa is one of the spice-producing countries, the planting area is not large, and spices are mainly exported. East African civilians do not need spices. This is Ernst's view.

Naturally, how to solve the problem of strong smell of pork is to introduce the profession of piggrowers to castrate piglets. However, according to Western standards, piggrowers are proper veterinarians.

He looked like a butcher, but was actually a veterinarian from East Africa. He was as tall as a mountain as he walked towards the station. Two villagers handed a piglet over to him. He lifted the pig's leg with one hand and held the piglet in his hand.

He took a sterilized pig knife from the porcelain bowl filled with alcohol and said, "Cleave the path of life and death with both hands, and cut off the root of right and wrong with one knife." He spoke plausibly.

In an instant, he raised the knife and slashed it at the piglet's lychees. In an instant, the two lychees fell into the bowl prepared in advance.

Only then did the little piglet react and scream in pain. The veterinarian took a needle and thread and sewed it twice, sprinkled some powder on the wound, and the castration operation was completed. People on both sides watched carefully. .

"Okay, are there any piglets in your village? If there are any more that need chopped pig eggs, send them over as soon as possible. I'm rushing to the next village!" the veterinarian said.

There are few veterinarians in East Africa, and even fewer are able to castrate pigs, so most of them are mobile workers. According to government arrangements, they castrate pigs in the area they are responsible for along fixed routes.

"No, no, these are the piglets the government issues!"

Piglets are distributed free of charge by the East African government to be raised in villages to increase the meat consumption of East African residents and to consume excess food production.

The breeding industry in East Africa is divided into agricultural breeding and pastoral breeding. Pastoral breeding is easy to understand. Agricultural breeding is mainly captive breeding, and feed feeding accounts for the majority.

In the past, working livestock such as cattle and horses were mainly kept in captivity in East Africa. Now the output of cattle and horses has increased to a certain extent, but they are mainly used for labor and transportation. Some of the northern pastures are still used for export, but very few of them are distributed to the people of East Africa.

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

Like Europe, North and South America, there are moist grasslands that are most suitable for the growth of pasture. However, the humid areas in East Africa are rainforests, but the grasslands are divided into two seasons: rain and dry. Once the dry season comes, the pasture will be reduced, which is not conducive to grazing.

Therefore, in East Africa, equal emphasis has been placed on pasture farming and farming in agricultural areas. However, farming in agricultural areas is more scattered and the units are smaller, but the scale is no worse than 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 meat production in East Africa. First of all, it only takes about half a year from birth to slaughter for a pig, and it has a strong reproductive capacity. Secondly, pigs As an omnivore, it is not picky at all. There are a large number of agricultural and sideline products that can be used as pig feed. Relatively speaking, the cost of raising pigs is lower than the cost of raising other animals.

In East Africa, there were a large number of potatoes and other crops grown specifically for black slaves. These crops, which did not require much effort, were easy to grow and had huge yields. They could be used as pig feed.

There is not much difference between Europeans and the Far East when it comes to their choice of meat. Everyone uses pork as the most important source of meat, and only people influenced by Arab culture do not eat pork.

Germans are very enthusiastic about eating pork, which is reflected in the production of various sausages. But in the current era, it’s good if everyone can eat enough. It’s not so particular. Just throw it into the pot and cook it.

This time, the East African Kingdom introduced a total of 200,000 breeding pigs, mainly in the Central Province, the Maritime Province, the Maritime Lake Province, and the South Salzburg Province for pilot promotion. The breeding is carried out on a village basis, that is, large-scale breeding is not carried out. .

Large-scale breeding has high risks and technical requirements. One careless step may lead to the annihilation of the whole army, especially in captivity. With so many livestock raised together, it is difficult to solve health problems.
