Chapter 294: Mulching
When eating breakfast, Chu Jiaqiang saw that Zhou Furong's voice had changed, and he must have eaten a lot of barbecue last night.
"It's all about you to eat in moderation, grandma's! I just don't listen, now it's okay, right? Chu Jiaqiang said angrily.
"It's pointless to talk too much, aren't you very good at medicine? Hurry up and help, damn it, it's so uncomfortable. Zhou Furong said with difficulty, his voice was extremely hoarse, which made people worry.
"I'm asking for trouble, I don't want to die if I eat." Chu Jiaqiang muttered.
Hearing this, Jackton and the others next to him looked unnatural, because they were also eating a lot during this time. In the past, it always felt that Chinese food was not suitable for them. But when I got here, I discovered the charm of Chinese food, and I couldn't stop eating. People can have many ways to make a dish, and if you eat several meals in a row, there may not be a repeat, and the taste is excellent. Compared to my own country, those half-cooked steaks and dry toast are many times better.
"I'll go out by myself for a while, go find some wild strawberries, eat some in, and it will be relieved at noon, and it may be fine at night." Chu Jiaqiang suggested.
The others glared, and even Ye Caiping chuckled and said, "Robber, don't fool people!" Can strawberries still cure diseases? If so, isn't Renjia Pharmaceutical Group going to go out of business? ”
She knows that strawberry juice also has the effect of moisturizing and nourishing the skin, and she can use it to make a variety of high-end beauty creams, which have a significant effect on slowing down the appearance of wrinkles on the skin.
"Just, can you give some targeted advice?" Zhou Furong said depressedly. I don't believe that strawberries can cure throat discomfort. Those wild strawberries also taste good, though. He went to find something to eat, and he was more than happy to do so.
"You know. Many things in the world can be used in medicine. Even pearls can be used as medicine, but why can't strawberries? Then, Chu Jiaqiang explained to them the effect of strawberries.
Strawberries are also considered to be the best in medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine believes that strawberries are sweet and cool, and enter the spleen, stomach, and lung meridians. It has the function of moistening the lungs, strengthening the spleen and stomach, diuresis and swelling, and relieving fever and dispeling heat. It is suitable for pulmonary fever, cough, loss of appetite, lack of urination, heat and thirst, etc.
In the famous Chinese medical book "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is recorded: "Replenish the spleen, strengthen the vitality, subdue the hyperyang, support the declining soil, strengthen the spirit, benefit the qi, and widen the ruffian." Eliminate phlegm, detoxify alcohol, quench thirst after drinking, benefit the leader, and be happy. ”
From the perspective of Western medicine, the rich vitamin C in strawberries can not only prevent scurvy, but also have a positive preventive effect on arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, angina, cerebral hemorrhage, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, etc. Strawberries contain pectin and cellulose, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. Improve constipation, prevent hemorrhoids and bowel cancer. The amines contained in strawberries have a certain effect on leukemia and aplastic anemia.
"Of course, now many strawberries out there are genetically modified or the like, and the value of medicine has changed. In addition, some fruit farmers also inject hormones for profit, and they are lucky to have nothing to eat. So, I asked you to look for wild strawberries, especially one of them. You may not know each other, just pull a child, he must know, where is the most they know best. Chu Jiaqiang said again.
Hearing this explanation, the guy didn't say a word, and hurriedly walked out, definitely to find those children.
"Anyway, I see that some of your strawberries are blooming. It's early! In some places, it only blooms in March and April, and it is not eaten until May or June. I estimate that in two months, you may have to eat. Ye Xiaoshuang said suddenly. Moreover, she also found that those daylilies were also ready to bloom.
"It's warm in our place, it's December now, and the north is estimated to be icy and snowy. But do you see we have a big change in temperature here? However, there is a large temperature difference between day and night, so it is right to wear an extra one at night and in the morning. Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile. In fact, many places now have greenhouse planting, and you can mature it whenever you want.
However, when the strawberries bloom, they have to be mulched. Chu Jiaqiang still missed this job, in the final analysis, he was still inexperienced, or in the eyes of others, he was too lazy to even do this work.
Originally, the mulch film should have been laid down a long time ago. In this way, weeds can be prevented from growing without the hassle of weeding. In addition, it is to cushion the fruit, so that the fruit is not easy to be polluted by soil and mildew, and try to keep the strawberry clean. You know, strawberries are more difficult to clean, just like bayberry. If you really want to be clean, it's best to soak it in light salt water.
Of course, for the guy who has never been sprayed with pesticides at all, everyone still has great expectations for Chu Jiaqiang's strawberry, and there may be many people who pick it directly into their mouths when the time comes.
"The last time I went to a strawberry farm, the owner of the farm always told us that strawberries were difficult to manage and that there was a lot of labor. But I think brother-in-law, you're very relaxed! Walk around like an idler all day long. Xu Bimei glanced at Chu Jiaqiang and said.
"So you outsiders don't understand, where do I run almost every day, why don't you see it? Strawberries are prone to lesions, such as gray mold, powdery mildew, blackberry disease, etc., as well as spiders, aphids, ground tigers and snails and so on to take advantage of the loopholes to cause damage. Chu Jiaqiang immediately counted the girl.
Actually, now is not the time for high attention. Once the strawberries are grown, that's what to keep an eye on. Many molds and insect infestations are targeted at the fruit.
Botrytis is a fungal disease that occurs on leaves, flowers, fruit stalks, and fruits. Powdery mildew is a disease that damages leaves and fruits, and fruit swelling stops and coloration deteriorates. The disease occurs throughout the growing season under conditions of continuous rain, over-irrigation, over-over-growth and over-dryness. Black mold is mainly harmful to fruits, softening and rotting, and strawberries are more severe in storage and transportation.
In addition, spider mites will suck the sap of strawberry leaves, and in severe cases, the leaves will curl and yellow, and the plants will shrink, which will seriously affect the yield. Common cotton aphid, parasitic on the whole strawberry plant, and leaves, flowers, heart leaves are the most. Ground tigers and snails are omnivorous, and eat the fruits empty in order to harm the leaves and fruits. Before planting, carefully turn the ground and prepare the land to eliminate soil and stone eggs; Pull out weeds and old leaves of ground plants in time and manually catch them.
Chen Wu rolled his eyes, Chu Jiaqiang didn't say that it was okay, but when he talked about this, he was extremely depressed. This guy put all his chickens into the strawberry field, and it is incredible that those chickens pick insects and snails to eat, but they are very disciplined and do not destroy strawberries.
"Your chickens and ducks almost cleared the grass for you, what else do you want?" Chen Wu really couldn't bear it anymore.
Chu Jiaqiang was dumbfounded for a moment, this matter is really difficult to explain. After chatting a few more words, Chu Jiaqiang went to the town and pulled the black mulch back. His family has a lot of people, and everyone helps, and soon the mulch is laid down.
