Although he said that it didn't matter, Mu Yubai still took Chu Xingcan into the alley and took a shortcut to the tobacco shop. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After buying tobacco leaves, according to the usual practice, Mu Yubai took Chu Xingcan to the bookstore he frequented.

I don't know if it's because of the approaching autumn season, there are many literati voices in the large and small bookstores in the capital, and this small bookstore, which was not very lively, has also entered a lot of customers today.

"The girl is here." There are not many female customers visiting the bookstore, Mu Yubai quickly got acquainted with the boss, and every time he came, he could at least say hello a few times: "There have been a lot of scripts recently, do you want to take a look?" ”

"I don't want to read the book lately, I want to read a book on farming, but I don't know if the boss has it here." His eyes swept around the bookshelf, but he didn't find any titles that attracted him, Mu Yubai asked directly.

"That small shop really doesn't have one, you have to go to the Guozijian to have a look, there are more such books over there." The shopkeeper's face was apologetic, and he didn't seem to snub Mu Yubai for not taking care of his business.

"That's right, thank you for the shopkeeper's advice."

"Where, where." The shopkeeper arched his hand: "The most important thing is that the girl can find the book she wants, but as far as I know, the agricultural books that have been published now have nothing else except "Field Collection" and "Farming Essentials", but these two books, the girl has already passed, and there is no need to run again." ”

"How do you know I've read these two books?" Mu Yubai couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the shopkeeper's words: "I didn't tell you." ”

"The girl forgot, once the girl came to my store and was holding those two books." The shopkeeper touched his upper lip and stroked his mustache and said with a smile.

"The shopkeeper is really observant." Mu Yubai thought about it, it seemed that there was indeed such a thing, and couldn't help but praise the shopkeeper's sentence, and couldn't help but feel sad after praising it: "The content of these two books is too shallow, "Field Collection" is a popular science book for rich and noble people, and "Agricultural Affairs" is a bit dry, but it is only for some simple agricultural hazards. ”

Looking left and right to make sure that no one was looking at them, the shopkeeper suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "I don't know if what the girl wants to know is related to the drought in the south?" ”

"How does the shopkeeper know?" Mu Yubai couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, the thin middle-aged bookstore owner in front of him was a little not simple.

"I also know that what the girl is looking for is a way to treat and prevent insect plagues after the drought."

"You ......" Mu Yubai restrained his smile, stared at the shopkeeper with cold eyes, and looked the bookstore owner up and down again.

"Girl, don't worry, I know that you are Mu Yubai, a female military teacher, and I also know that you once said at the banquet of the Guogong Mansion that after the drought, there will be other disasters in the south." Speaking of this, the shopkeeper of the bookstore couldn't help but smile proudly: "Girl Mo underestimated me as the shopkeeper of the bookstore, opened a bookstore in the capital, and received people from all over the country. I heard that Mu Yubai, a female military teacher, likes to wear white clothes the most, with no ornaments, and a jade-handled silver-mouthed cigarette pouch pot around her waist. Looking back at the ladies in my store, only the girl you are the most describable. Coupled with your remarks in the Guogong Mansion before, I guess you also know that locusts will be spawned after the drought. ”

Yo he...... Looking at this boss in amazement, Mu Yubai collected the judgment just now, and there was a hint of surprise in her expression, she also met a Dasheng Holmes.

"The shopkeeper said very well, I am here to find a way to control the locust plague." After answering, Mu Yubai thought for a while, and then asked: "The shopkeeper's erudition, I wonder if you know any good way to deal with the locust plague?" ”

"I'm afraid the girl doesn't have much experience in the field." The shopkeeper smiled quite profoundly: "Corresponding to the locust plague, you don't need to read books." ”

"How?"

"I know this!" Chu Xingcan, who had never had a strong sense of existence, finally found an opportunity to interject, and looked at Mu Yubai with an expression that was about to ask me.

"You say." Seeing her like that, Mu Yubai wanted to laugh a little and decided to give him a chance to show his whiteness.

"With the birds, eat them." Chu Xingcan spoke loudly, attracting the attention of many people in the store.

"Huh? Millions of locusts are coming, how many birds will it take to eat them? Mu Yubai felt that this answer was a bit too fantastical, but he didn't expect to turn his head, but he saw the approving gaze of the shopkeeper, and he was puzzled: "Is it true?" ”

"Yes, not only birds, frogs, and toads are the natural enemies of locusts, and they can alleviate locust plagues in a short time. Not only that, locusts like to lay eggs in the dry underground, and if there is a locust plague, changing the low-lying places where the locust plague occurs into ponds and raising more fish and shrimp can also help to control it. ”

"Taught." He bowed deeply to the shopkeeper: "Yubai first thanked the shopkeeper for the victims in the south." ”

"Where, where, it's just some vulgar opinions, how can I get such a big gift from the girl, Miss Mu please hurry up." Hurriedly helped Mu Yubai up, and the bookstore shopkeeper was a little panicked.

This is the female military division who relieved the siege of King Rong's 300,000 rebel army, and she would give him such a big gift because of her words, which really made him sincerely afraid.

He couldn't even bother to buy the book, Mu Yubai pulled Chu Xingcan and gave the bookstore shopkeeper another salute, and hurriedly walked home with the tobacco.

"How did you come up with the idea of using birds to eat insects?" On the way back, Mu Yubai asked Chu Xingcan curiously, in order to reward her, she also specially bought her a piece of sugar cake that she had been hungry for a long time.

"Sister, haven't you ever raised a bird? I used to have one, and in order to feed it, I had to catch a lot of bugs for it every day. Chu Xingcan replied while nibbling on the sugar cake: "This cake is not as delicious as the palace, the sugar is not sweet at all, and there is sand in the cake." ”

"Street snacks, selling two copper plates and one, how can it be compared with the food in the palace, the food and clothing in the palace are the best." Hearing her words, Mu Yubai couldn't help but tease again.

"Not necessarily." Chu Xingcan pursed his lips and stuffed the last piece of cake into his mouth: "The tea in the palace is not as delicious as the one in my sister's house." ”

"The tea leaves at home are weighed from the tea shop." Mu Yubai was also a little puzzled, but at that time, in order to facilitate hospitality, she would come to her house from time to time to sit down with various immortals, and weighed the most expensive tea. But this is the most expensive, and it is not as good as which ones are in the palace, but they are the best things in the state capitals.

His thoughts turned a few times in his mind, and Mu Yubai quickly figured it out. Although the things of heaven are generally the best, no one can guarantee that there will be the best every year, right? If it is gone, will the Heavenly Family blame it?

Tsk~ Thinking about it, Mu Yubai couldn't help but shake her head, it seems, this workplace is thick and black, she still has to learn.
