Chapter Eighty-Six: Insect Pests

The two small projects of barbed wire fence and color steel house are not too easy compared with the previous projects of cleaning fish ponds and planting saplings.

In just three days, the barbed wire fence surrounding hundreds of acres of fields at the foot of the entire Jiguan Mountain has been built, and at the same time, there are two floors and six blue and white steel houses of 120 square meters.

These two projects cost Li Yuhao less than 30,000 yuan in total, which is a drizzle for him.

During this period of time, with the continuous investment in the construction of the barren mountain of Jiguan Mountain, Li Yuhao has become more and more numb to spend money. Money will be credited to his account every day, and funds will be deposited into his account every once in a while in the two stores, but they can't stop the money from flowing away on this cockscomb mountain!

Just like Li Yuhao himself said, he spent money until he didn't feel it!

After the establishment of the color steel house, the task of rotating to see the mountain was put on the agenda.

After some discussion, it was decided to arrange a shift to see the mountain.

Zhang Weihua is old, and if something happens, Li Yuhao can't take responsibility, so he was excluded from the work of watching the mountain.

Huang Zerong and five other employees were divided into three shifts, with 2 people in each shift, each time guarding 10-day shifts, and the cycle was repeated.

In order to increase their enthusiasm for work, Li Yuhao also announced that the salary of those who watch the mountain in each issue will be increased by 50 yuan on the same day.

Zhang Weihua was not ranked to see the mountain, so naturally he did not have this benefit.

He himself was very envious, and found Li Yuhao's request to see the mountain, but was rejected by Li Yuhao on the grounds that he was too old and uneasy, and the deep-seated reason was Li Yuhao's jealousy of Zhang Qihua behind Zhang Weihua.

The daily salary is increased by 50 yuan, and the salary is 500 yuan more in a month, and it is just that the sleeping place has changed, and there is no shortage of air conditioning and water heaters in the color steel room, so Huang Zerong and these employees have accepted it.

In this way, the shift system was implemented, and Li Yuhao was a little relieved about the safety of Jiguan Mountain, and he didn't have to worry about a group of bastards coming in the middle of the night on a day and destroying the number of fields he had worked so hard to build.

At that time, Li Yuhao was really worried about himself, not because he was worried that he couldn't bear it, but because he was worried that he couldn't control himself, so he ordered the giant earthworm to kill.

As everyone performs their own duties and the work is slowly becoming formal, Li Yuhao has become relaxed.

Although he still has to run between the university town and Sanfeng Village every day, and the pollen around the mountains cannot meet the needs of the growing bee colony, Li Yuhao still runs to the mountains every once in a while, bringing a lot of supermarket bees or barreled sugar water to supplement the bees' nutrition, but the sense of urgency does not appear.

As long as the production base of Jiguanshan can continue to produce special seasonings, he can completely become a hands-off shopkeeper.......

If all goes well.

But the world just doesn't let Li Yuhao get his way!

The seasoning crops on the Jiguanshan production base are moistened by the secret special fertilizer of the giant earthworm and grow vigorously for a period of time, after which, inevitably, insect pests will inevitably appear!

This is not like the special seasoning that Li Yuhao planted in the room, the environment is controllable, Li Yuhao planted for a period of time, and did not find many pests, even if a few pests occasionally appeared, they were cleaned up by Li Yuhao in time.

But outdoor planting is different.

Although Li Yuhao had already used quicklime to kill bacteria once before planting seasonings, the huge Cockscomb Mountain could not be done once and for all with quicklime.

I don't remember the day when the staff began to notice the appearance of pests.

At first, it was only found sporadically, and many staff members were unimpressed, after all, there was no reason to plant insects. Moreover, onion and garlic plants have a strong smell and a strong insect repellent effect.

So the staff just cleaned up the pests they saw by hand and didn't pay attention to them.

A few days later, there was an outbreak of pests.

Perhaps these seasoning crops are delicious, and they attract a lot of bugs, and the scale of this pest outbreak is also very large.

These spice plants can be seen everywhere with the naked eye, crawling onion flies, thrips, leaf miner flies, aphids and other spreading pests, which are "relishing" the stems and leaves, and playing "happily".

Pests of this magnitude are already impossible to get rid of manually.

Li Yuhao and Huang Zerong have tried some natural insect removal methods such as chili pepper water from some earthworks on the Internet, but the effect is not good.

These special spice plants are still yellowing and wilting day by day.

Zhang Weihua saw this scene and said that there was no way, and it was recommended to use pesticides.

As long as it is lightly sprayed with pesticides, these pesky pests will die with a whimper.

Li Yuhao categorically vetoed it!

It's not that Li Yuhao doesn't know the effectiveness of pesticides, the use of 50% fipronidine EC 1000-1500 times liquid spray, can effectively control Ye'e pests, the use of 5% acetamiprid EC 1500-2000 times liquid spray, can effectively control thrips, the use of 50% fly amine EC 4000-5000 times liquid can effectively control spotted loon flies.

The problem is that once pesticides are sprayed, it will have a great impact on the taste and quality of the seasoning, and it will no longer have the magical taste of the past.

This situation has been encountered by Li Yuhao.

At the beginning, when the planting house was planted, when he encountered insect pests, Li Yuhao was too lazy to do it, so he went to the pesticide store and bought a bottle of insecticide.

Spraying pests with insecticides is certainly easy, and on the surface, these seasoning crops don't have much of an impact.

Later, when Li Yuhao picked and sent it to a flying fast food restaurant, the chef reported that there was a batch of seasoning crops that tasted weird.

Li Yuhao naturally tried it when he heard it, and found that there was really a batch of special seasonings that tasted weird, and it couldn't be said to be weird, but it could only be said that the taste of this seasoning was average, and it tasted similar to the seasonings bought in the vegetable market outside.

Special seasonings are the fundamental reason for the booming business of Feifan fast food restaurants, and this matter certainly aroused Li Yuhao's great attention.

Li Yuhao investigated to the end and found that these special seasonings with ordinary taste were all from seasonings that had been sprayed with insects.

Li Yuhao tested a few special seasonings again, and found that the special seasonings sprayed with pesticides such as pesticides had no abnormalities in appearance, but the quality was seriously affected, and he could no longer taste the magical taste.

So far, Li Yuhao has uprooted all the seasoning crops that have been sprayed with insecticides, and when he encounters insect pests in the future, he would rather work hard than use modern pesticides!

Li Yuhao and the others really couldn't think of any way, and in desperation, Li Yuhao had to order the staff to go to the field and manually remove insects!

But manpower is sometimes poor!

Hundreds of acres of fields, where are these six or seven people busy! Even if Li Yuhao ends up in person!

A group of people go out early and return late, working hard, but the effect is still not good, so they have to watch these seasoning crops wilt and wither day by day!

Li Yuhao was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

He kept looking up information on the Internet and consulting others, but he couldn't find an effective way to curb the growing pest.

Zhang Qihua constantly suggested that Li Yuhao should use pesticides for prevention and control, otherwise he may not harvest the particles in the end.

Li Yuhao flatly refused every time.

The insect infestation is getting more and more serious, and even Huang Zerong specially asked Li Yuhao to come out to talk, suggesting that Li Yuhao should not be too persistent, too much pursuit of pure natural, and may not have good results.

Li Yuhao smiled bitterly when he heard this.

He wants to use pesticides!

The state does not limit the use of pesticides, and the use of pesticides does not kill people! Li Yuhao is not a virgin!

The problem is that these special seasonings can't be used to kill insects with pesticides!

Once pesticides are used, the quality of these spices will be severely reduced, and the taste is similar to that of the spices bought in the vegetable market.

Well, even if they taste slightly better than those bought at the wet market.

But it didn't work.

This is not the "special seasoning" that Li Yuhao wants!

And Li Yuhao has now spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to rent land, not to grow spices and then transport them to the vegetable market to sell!

The fast food restaurant has no plans to change to a "flying vegetable shop" now and in the future!

Li Yuhao opened his mouth and wanted to explain the key point to Huang Zerong, but he couldn't speak!

Li Yuhao hesitated to say a few words that he couldn't hear, and finally sighed helplessly, shook his head, and stopped talking.

He asked Huang Zerong to go back early to rest, during this time everyone was very tired, and the useless work that could not see the effect made everyone very depressed.

And Li Yuhao is alone, in the afterglow of this evening, "slowly" on this "lively" field.
