The dragon I raised by myself

It had just rained in autumn and the ground was still wet.The fresh air after the rain hit my face, smelling of trees and grass.

On both sides of the road are rows of small one-story houses with black tiles and white walls, and clusters of yellow corn and red peppers are hung under the eaves of each house to add a touch of joy to the harvest.

The old tractor "chugs" forward, passed through this strange village, and continued to advance into the mountains.

Yu Zhouhe raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was 08:30, three to ten minutes before the appointed time, and he should be able to arrive in time.

Today he went to report, and when he was in his senior year, there was an internship requirement for graduation.

It is difficult to find a job in the major of animal science, and the internships are basically in those directions, such as breeding farms, feed factories, and quarantine stations, which can be counted on five fingers.

Generally, the college will be responsible for the distribution, but the sow mating and breeding base that Yu Zhou and he are going to is specially introduced by the professor, and the address is in a place called Longqiyan in the countryside of Binhai City.

He had never heard of this place name, and he couldn't find the exact location on the electronic map.The breeding base should also know this situation, so they called and asked him to take an urban and rural bus to the Longkou County Bus Terminal, and someone would pick him up.

After getting off the small silver van, a young man in a flowered headscarf came forward to say hello enthusiastically.

"Hey, you're the one the patriarch asked me to pick up, right? I've seen photos, but I didn't expect the real person to look better!"

Isn't it just good-looking, the young man thought, in the tens of seconds since the person in front of him got off the car and stood in the corridor waiting, there were several groups of girls peeking at him with blushing faces.

Yu Zhouhe didn't pay attention to the second part of the young man's words. He only thought that the patriarch he mentioned meant the head of a breeding team at the base, and nodded, "Hi, my name is Yu Zhouhe, and I'm here to report."

"It's time to wait for you. You're welcome, get in the car first!" The young man smiled and snapped his fingers, leading people to find the mount parked at the entrance of the alley.

"In order to welcome you, I drove out all the best cars in the clan."

Yu Zhouhe looked in the direction.

I saw a tractor with a sea blue body, clear and bright, which needs to be cranked to store power before starting, and can travel hundreds of kilometers.

The young man proudly stroked the front of the car while looking at Yu Zhouhe, as if waiting for him to make a statement.

This style was eliminated almost ten years ago. I didn't expect to see it here. It seems that the economic level of the breeding base is not very good...

Yu Zhouhe stared at the small piece of iron sheet that had been wiped down to faded color, pondered for a while, and gave a thumbs up, "Good car!"

The young man smiled with satisfaction.

His name is Dong Mingyue, he has a cheerful personality and talks a lot, talking about things along the way.

"Hey, are you tired of studying in college? I'm not a material for studying. I went home to work after graduating from high school. I especially admire people who study well."

"Let's divide it into majors. My major is not bad. There are few people and there is not much pressure."

Including him, there are only eight undergraduates in this year's Agricultural University, and there are less than 20 people in the animal medicine department next door.

Dong Mingyue asked again: "By the way, I heard that you just won the first prize in the National College Student Animal Husbandry Skills Competition. What is this competition for?"

Probably the professor mentioned it to the person in charge of the base when he recommended it.

Yu Zhouhe rested with half-closed eyes, and answered casually: "Chicken semen collection, quality testing and artificial insemination are better and faster than anyone else."

Dong Mingyue scratched his head with one hand, "...wouldn't the chicken be uncomfortable?"

Yu Zhouhe paused for a moment, "Then, next time I ask?"

Dong Mingyue laughed loudly, and changed the subject again: "By the way, the people in the clan are very happy to know that you are coming to help. We can't handle those cubs. The patriarch said that it must be professional."

Yu Zhouhe was curious about their breeding scale, "How many piglets have been born in this litter base?"

Sows generally give birth to two litters a year, with autumn paired with spring and spring paired with autumn. Calculating the time, it should be the time when the piglets have just been born in autumn.

The survival rate of newborn piglets may be reduced due to various reasons, and management must be strengthened.If the scale is large, manpower is really needed at this time.

Piggy?Dong Mingyue had a strange expression on his face.

Could it be that the patriarch has resorted to all means to this extent?

The tractor has only one driving position, and Dong Mingyue sat in front without looking back.Yu Zhouhe couldn't see his expression, and didn't hear his answer, so he thought his voice was too low, so he raised his voice and asked again.

Dong Mingyue hesitated, "Probably, seven or eight..."

Yu Zhouhe slightly opened his eyes wide.

It's just enough for a litter, and anyone with breeding experience can handle it, so you still need to recruit extra people?This internship was arranged by the professor, so it shouldn't be a liar...

Don't look at Dong Mingyue's carelessness, but he is good at observing the atmosphere. Noticing Yu Zhouhe's silence, he quickly changed his mouth: "The rest are not yet born, and they are all waiting for you. And we have beautiful mountains and clear waters, and life is very beautiful , you will definitely like it!"

Yu Zhouhe responded vaguely, and decided to wait and see.

At this time, the tractor had already driven into the mountain road, passed through the diffuse fog, and stopped in a clearing almost halfway up the mountain.

He followed Dong Mingyue to a small single-family courtyard, walked through the courtyard, and the two of them entered the hall.

A man in a long coat came out of the house.

Dong Ming jumped out, "The patriarch."

The man looked to be in his forties, not too tall, and a little fat.Seeing them, he said cheerfully, "Here we come."

"Hello." Yu Zhouhe nodded to him.

The man smiled like Maitreya Buddha, "I have had a hard time on the road. My surname is Dong, Dong Bing. You can call me patriarch just like Mingyue. Let's find a place to sit down and talk."

Yu Zhouhe later found out that almost all the people in Longqiyan have the surname Dong, and only a few people have foreign surnames.Moreover, those with foreign surnames basically did not stay in the village, and all went out to work.

After entering the inner room, Dong Bing said, "Zhou He, you don't mind if I call you that?"

Yu Zhou smiled, "It's okay, you can call me whatever you want."

He has fair skin, outstanding facial features, and he is born with a pair of smiling eyes, which look especially good when the corners of his eyes are bent, which makes people feel good about him.

Dong Bingying nodded in satisfaction, and cut to the chase: "Let me first introduce you to the work here, mainly to take care of the cubs, and there are no other rules. You don't need to check in, and you can rest when you're done. If you need to leave for something, just ask me for a leave of absence." If you come, we will arrange accommodation, plus a monthly salary of [-] for meals."

With such a high internship salary and accommodation included, Yu Zhouhe was so excited that he applauded like a seal in his heart after hearing this.

After talking about this, Dong Bingying thought for a while and asked again: "Can you cook?"

Yu Zhouhe nodded, and could cook some simple meals.

Dong Bing continued: "That's it, there are a lot of ingredients on the mountain, and there is a vegetable field nearby, where you can pick them for free. If you don't want to do it, you don't have to pay the 500 yuan monthly meal standard. I will ask someone to help you cook three meals a day. .If you have other requirements, you can also ask, and we can help solve them if we can."

Yu Zhouhe thought about it, and decided to cook or come by himself, and eat whatever he wanted, saving money and being comfortable.

After the introduction, he asked, "Should I join the job today? Can I go and see the base first?"

First understand the house feeding environment and the condition of the cubs, and then determine the focus and program of cultivation.

Hearing this request, Dong Mingyue was a little anxious and winked wildly at the patriarch.

How can there be any breeding and breeding base for sows? If you bring people there, won't everything be ruined?The contract hasn't been signed yet, and they didn't say anything about the person running away.

Dong Bingying, however, seemed to have a plan in mind. When he didn't see his hint, he coughed and said, "Yes, but we are breeding in secret here, and everything follows the principle of confidentiality. You have to be mentally prepared in advance."

Could it be that some wild protected animals were raised?If it is a pangolin or something, should I report it or should I report it?

Facing Dong Bingying's kind gaze, Yu Zhouhe suppressed his thoughts and nodded calmly.

So the three of them went out together.

Yu Zhouhe thought there would be some distance, but he didn't expect to go out from the back door of the small courtyard and just turn a corner.

They are standing in front of a cave.

Yu Zhouhe paused, pursed his lips and remained silent.

What about the pigsty?What about the fence?What about the equipment?

A cave wants to send him away. Is he looking down on people or pigs?

Dong Bingying turned on the flashlight to illuminate the interior.In a space of about [-] square meters, there is a long stone bed on the side, covered with straw and branches, forming a soft nest like a bird's nest.

With his hands behind his back, he turned around and said, "Zhou He, come and take a look."

Yu Zhouhe approached.

"The ones I want you to help raise are actually not pigs, but these..."

I saw five or six eggs the size of an adult's palm laying in the straw nest, closely next to each other.

"This is... an ostrich egg?"

The size and color seem to be a little different, Yu Zhouhe is not very sure.

Dong Bingying did not answer directly, but said: "When Professor Chen recommended you to come, he said that you would be able to take good care of these eggs until they all hatched. I trust him, so I trust you too."

After hearing this, Dong Mingyue almost clapped his hands. Jiang was indeed old and spicy, and he thought of pulling Uncle Chen out to increase his credibility.

Sure enough, Yu Zhouhe's expression loosened a lot when he heard Professor Chen's words.

Since the professor knows about these eggs, there should be no problem.He didn't suspect that the other party was lying, after all, he could tell whether such words were true by asking.

Yu Zhouhe stared at these eggs for a while, then turned his head to confirm again, "It's really three thousand five thousand a month, and accommodation is also included?"

Dong Bingying said firmly: "Yes, if you agree, you can pay one month's salary in advance."

"Okay," Yu Zhouhe nodded, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket, "Look, is it WeChat or Alipay?"
