Chapter 41 Insect Elimination

And Xiaoqing they sell mulberries, first of all, the quality is guaranteed, because they want to raise silkworms, and mulberry fruits, this mulberry tree naturally can not be treated casually, picking mulberry leaves, is also a reasonable arrangement, not blindly random picking, but to meet the growth of these mulberry trees, but also to repel insects, raise some birds to catch insects, reduce those nutrients that should not be lost, in this way, can ensure that the fruit of these mulberry trees can be sweet. In this way, their mulberry fruits are better than others, most of them are extremely sweet, and only a few are not sweet enough.

Next, packing. Anyone who comes to buy, as long as they buy, it costs more than five catties, they sell, because they will be equipped with a beautiful and delicate flower basket, and then put the mulberries one by one, and make the whole flower basket as if they want to give gifts, so that people will feel exquisite when they look at it, and they will also feel that the price is worth buying, their mulberries are all picked out to sell a big blue and purple black and sweet mulberries, any one is very sweet, and fresh, and even these mulberries are cleaned, as long as they open the basket can be eaten, in this way, rich people are buying, there will be no idea of being wronged, and it makes people feel very convenient.

Of course, it is impossible for all mulberry fruits to be so big and sweet, and those small ones that are not sweet are directly made into jam and preserved fruits, and they will not be wasted at all.

In fact, any business that the Wang family does now is a middle-class and upper-class business, and there are relatively few people who pay attention to this area, and the things they sell will be more high-end, and they will not offend people, and they can earn more to make their labor more worthwhile.

Therefore, although the price set by the Wang family is relatively high, there is still an endless stream of people who come to buy, in order to ensure that this mulberry fruit can be fresh, so they get up before dawn every day. Eat first, then put everything aside, the whole family, young and old, have to go to the mountains to help pick mulberries, and the mulberries picked every day have to be cleaned, and when they are cleaned, they are selected, and then the head of the village leads the men to the city to sell.

And the women, who had been busy, began to eat, and the men ate breakfast while they were washing, and when breakfast was finished, they had to do what they had done in the past. Tired.

Fortunately, every day from the beginning of the mountain, there is only half an hour of picking time, and then the rest is the time to clean, etc., the flowers are not very long.

Even if it's a daily toil. There are still a lot of mulberries that have fallen to the ground, and I saw these falling to the ground. Adults feel sorry for it. Let those children and adults go up the mountain to pick it up when they have nothing to do, and if they pick it up, it will be made into jam, and some villagers will know how to use a woven fence to put it under the tree, so that if the mulberry falls on it, it will fall down at that time. It's hassle-free and convenient.

However, the area of this mulberry tree is too large, and not every mulberry tree can do this, only a part of it. Save them some effort for themselves, and the rest is up to everyone to use their abilities to pick up.

The mulberry tree dropped the mulberry fruit, but it was cheaper for those pheasants and hares on the mountain, and they ate a round belly.

When the mulberry fruit is harvested and the cotton seedlings grow, they will start to pick the top, which is to allow the cotton to spread more branches, grow better, and bear more cotton.

However, there are a lot of problems that follow, when I first found out, Zhuang Tou and Zhuang Tou were very nervous and headache, just because they found pests in the field, Zhuang Tou didn't know what these things were, only knew that these were pests, and there were two kinds, there was only one kind, but when the cotton seedlings bloomed cotton bolls, another kind of pest appeared.

If Wang Ya is here, you can know that this must be cotton aphid and cotton bollworm, for these two control methods, Wang Ya really knows Lu Dao, and has learned it in high school textbooks.

Zhuang Tou thought of a few ways and had no idea, and finally could only report this matter, Xiaoqing listened, and asked the owner of the sub-shop, only to know that the cotton aphid can be controlled with some insects and other things such as spiders, but there is no better way, in the end, the boss thought of the same, but shook his head at Xiaoqing: "It's useless now, this thing has to be tripped with the cotton seed when it is a cotton seed, and now it's too late to get it." ”

Xiaoqing said: "It doesn't matter, since that thing can kill these pests when the cotton is planted, then I think it will have a certain effect even now." ”

The owner of the sub-shop nodded, and also felt that this was the truth, so he told Xiaoqing the way, Xiaoqing deployed it according to his words, and then let people spray it among the cotton, not to mention, it was really effective, and because they had implemented the relationship of raising chickens in the field before, in fact, as early as when the cotton seedlings were young, those chickens began to peck at those insects, otherwise, such a large field, can there be so few insects?

However, in the face of the cotton bollworm, the boss shook his head, and only said that if this method is useless, he doesn't know what to do, after all, he is not here to grow cotton, and it is already very good to know what to use to kill the pests that grow on the leaves.

Seeing that the boss had no choice, Xiaoqing was helpless, after several inquiries, there was no news, and after the worst, Xiaoqing also thought of Wang Ya, mainly because the idea was mentioned by Wang Ya at that time, maybe Wang Ya would have any news.

Xiaoqing really didn't expect that as soon as she said it, Wang Ya knew what kind of pest this was, Wang Ya naturally knew what kind of pest, Wang Ya didn't think of it before, but now when Xiaoqing said it, she remembered that cotton often gets two kinds of pests, one is cotton aphid, the other is cotton bollworm, if it is for cotton aphid, Wang Ya can know that what is the way is to use insects to deal with them, as for those formulas, Wang Ya really doesn't remember.

As for dealing with cotton bollworms, Wang Ya really has a good way, and immediately told Xiaoqing, saying: "You go and let people pick some poplar branches, that is, willow branches, and then put six to seven handfuls of poplar branches on each acre of land, and wait until daytime, before dawn, and then pinch those adult insects to death." As for the larvae, I can only let the chickens and birds catch them, and I can't help it. ”

Xiaoqing didn't expect that the method Wang Ya said was so simple, and couldn't help but be a little skeptical, but thinking that there was no other way, Xiaoqing tried to let people put eight handfuls of poplar branches in each acre of cotton field, and then let people go to the field to kill those adults when the sky was not bright.

Then, Xiaoqing was also inspired by Wang Ya, and felt that yes, she was really stupid, since there was no other way, couldn't she raise some birds?

Thinking of this, Xiaoqing wants to buy wild birds at a high price, especially some wild birds that like to eat insects, and it is good to do anything, but if you want to do this, the money you need will not be small, and you will need no less money, and you have to inform the Wang family, and it just so happens that Wang Ya is also there at that time.

When Wang heard this, he only felt that Xiaoqing was a little whimsical, and muttered, "Is this okay?" If you could, it would be a good idea, but how could birds grow in the wild? ”

Wang Ya's eyes lit up, and she said supportively: "It's okay, Brother Xiaoqing, you just do it, I support you, but if you want to buy those birds, it's best to find out, what birds like to eat this kind of insects the most, if not, any bird can be, it's best to choose the kind of birds that are easy to feed, don't pick their mouths, and eat any insects, and also understand what the habits of these birds are. Or it's windy and rainy, and then close this bird house, how nice! ”

Wang Ya, who came from modern times to ancient times, naturally knows the Tao, this kind of thing, just domesticating birds, nothing is impossible.

Then, Wang Ya said: "Our own people may not be familiar with it, why don't we find a master who is good at raising birds to help us, or let someone learn this craft?" ”

Xiaoqing said: "Sister Xiaoya, I think it's better to let everyone in Zhuangzi learn from it, and we will ask the master who raises birds to give a lecture to the people in Zhuangzi and help us decorate the house." ”

"But, what are people doing?" Wang Ya couldn't help but hesitate a little, it's not that Wang Ya doesn't have confidence, no matter what era, as long as it involves the issue of skills, everyone is basically secretive, in fact, this can also be understood, after all, it is the skill of people's life, why teach you?

If it's one or two, people should also accept an apprentice, if there are many people, is it still the ability of people to eat, besides, in this way, won't this secret be leaked out?

Xiaoqing said: "It's okay, little sister, it's okay, we don't want to make a living from this, grab the job of the bird master, we just want to raise a bird method, the master doesn't care, and when the time comes, give more money, it's okay." ”

In this way, the two of them discussed, however, Xiaoqing still asked Wang's opinion, Wang basically stopped talking when Wang Ya spoke, not that he didn't know what Lu Dao said, but he just felt that since his daughter was willing to take care of it, let her come, many things in the family, in fact, Wang Ya was in charge, Wang knew that some of her knowledge was not as good as her daughter, and she had nothing to be jealous of.

Therefore, basically if Wang Ya intervenes in something, the Wang family will not be silent, although it looks shocking, the results of the most embarrassing people are always so surprising and surprising, so the Wang family naturally has no objections.

The matter was settled, and Xiaoqing immediately set about it. (To be continued......)
