Early the next morning, as soon as Lin Wan woke up, she heard Dong Xue tell her excitedly: "The people ordered by the old marquis arrived early in the morning, and after breakfast, they hurriedly took dry food and went to Nanshan to collect medicine with the people in Zhuangzi." ”

Lin Wan looked at the hourglass in the corner of the room in surprise.

Because I slept late last night, I woke up this morning a little later than usual, but it was not yet hour.

"It's not yet time, the old lady has an explanation, so that the slaves and maids must not disturb the girl's sleep." Seeing that Lin Wan's gaze was fixed on the hourglass, Dongxue hurriedly explained.

Lin Wan didn't want to blame Dongxue, and she didn't want to make her day and night upside down because of the insect infestation.

She didn't have anything special to do until the herbs were down, and it was okay to wake up later.

She just didn't expect that the transfer of people would start in the second half of yesterday, and the people from the Zhuangzi not only arrived early this morning, but also went into the mountains to collect medicine.

Letting everyone go to the mountain to collect medicine is a temporary preparation made before the break yesterday.

Only when you have enough herbs can you make enough insecticides.

With enough potions, it is feasible to completely eliminate the pest.

The core insecticidal herbs grow in the depths of Nanshan, in order to collect more of the herbs, Qi Jun personally took nearly thirty people into the deep mountains, and this time it was a full two days, when they went out of the mountain, each of them carried a basket full of herbs.

The other teams did not need to go deep into the mountains to collect enough herbs on the same day, and then under the leadership of the masters of the pharmaceutical workshop, the herbs were made into semi-finished products.

When the core herbs come back, the pharmaceutical workshop is even more busy, not to mention the Ye family Zhuangzi close to the pharmaceutical workshop on this day, even the vineyard in Zhennan Hou Mansion, which is some distance from the pharmaceutical workshop, can also smell the smell of pesticides wafting in the wind.

"The smell of this insecticide is really not good, and I don't know if Wanwan is in the pharmacy or the orchard today. Alas, why did you make pests when Ye's in-laws were away! Cai raised his hand and fanned it gently, frowned and looked in the direction of the pharmaceutical workshop, and sighed a little worriedly.

Mama Qiao was taking a group of maids to help the pharmaceutical workshop with the gauze bag for filtration, listened to Cai's words, put down the needlework in her hand and said: "I just heard Dongxue who came back to get the gauze bag say that the girl only went to the pharmaceutical workshop to take a look, and then went to the orchard with the old marquis, saying that she was going to see the development of the pest, and that it was to formulate the concentration of the spraying potion according to the development of the pest. ”

Cai sighed again: "I hope that after spraying the potion, the worm can be destroyed, otherwise, Sister Wan is afraid that she will not have the heart to go home for the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is a few days away, the Tang clan has sent someone to Zhuangzi yesterday to urge them to return home.

Cai and Lin Xiuwu couldn't stay in Zhuangzi for the Dragon Boat Festival no matter what, so they naturally hoped that Lin Wan could go back to the city with them for the festival.

First, they didn't want to leave Lin Wan alone in the Zhuangzi, even if it was to treat insects in the orchard, Cai didn't want to watch Lin Wan get together with Qi Jun.

Second, it is also because Lin Hongyu's family affairs need Lin Wan's assistance.

Although Lin Hongyu's family affairs have long been said to be handled by the Luo family, the Cai family can't completely ignore it, such as the two families made an appointment to see each other in Huangjue Temple that day? It is the Zhou family in the name of the Cai family.

Even if Zhou Yumin is not a girl from the Zhou family? Lin Hongyu can say that he is one of the reasons why he is still motivated? The main reason is because of the background of Zhennan Houfu.

And because of this? Even if the Cai family has already stated that they will not interfere in Lin Hongyu's family affairs, as the old lady of Zhennan Hou Mansion, they cannot ignore Lin Hongyu's family affairs.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Hongyu and Zhou Yumin's family affairs should start the process? On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the two families must see each other.

Lin Wan is Lin Hongyu's own sister, and she is the person who contributed the most when Huangjue Temple looked at each other that day? On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Wan had to come forward to entertain the girl of the Zhou family.

Although Mama Qiao has not seen the effect of pesticides in person? But he didn't catch the maids around Lin Wan to inquire about the situation.

At this time, after listening to Cai's worried words, he said to Cai's while folding the finished gauze bag neatly and putting it away: "Old lady, don't worry, I heard that the newly prepared potion is spiritual!" None of the insects caught from the orchard survived as long as they were sprayed with potion. Today's pharmacy rushed to make potions overnight? Tomorrow all the people will gather in the orchard and spray the potion? I will definitely be able to return to the city before the Dragon Boat Festival. ”

"I hope so." Cai Shi was silent for a moment and said.

At this time, Lin Wan had already returned from the orchard, and was discussing with Lin Xiuwu and Qi Jun in the council's room in the front yard about the arrangements for tomorrow's concentrated spraying of wine potions.

"Brother Qi Jun, how many sprayers are there in Zhuangzi now?" After Lin Wan picked up the pen and wrote and drew on the paper, she looked up at Qi Jun and asked.

"There are thirty-two sets of two Zhuangzi here, plus twenty-six sets brought from each Zhuangzi? There are currently a total of 58 sets. "These numbers are well known, and even blurted out.

Lin Wan used the pen to scratch the paper for a while? Only then did he push the paper in front of Qi Jun and said, "Choose one hundred and thirty-six strong people, and a group of two or two will be responsible for spraying the potion." According to the grandfather's estimate just now? Tomorrow will be south-east, so let's line up and spray potions from the east side of the orchard to the west? So that everyone must do not miss a single fruit tree? Pick some other people to carry potions into the fields. The rest of the people are responsible for burning the ashes, the better? By the way, prepare some more lime powder. ”

A mixture of plant ash and lime powder in a certain proportion is the nemesis of insect eggs.

A few days ago, Lin Wan had already carried out the work of exterminating the mixture of grass ash and lime powder for each fruit tree.

However, according to past experience, the killing of insect eggs cannot be done overnight, at least after three to four times of turning the soil and killing it with a mixture of plant ash and lime powder.

Grass ash and lime powder have always been common things in Zhuangzi, but after the insect infestation came out, especially after the eggs of fruit trees were found, the amount of plant ash and lime powder increased a lot, and the inventory in Zhuangzi was about to bottom.

In the past few days, I have almost devoted myself to collecting medicines and medicines, and I have been a little negligent in the killing of insect eggs in the roots.

Qi Jun touched his head with some embarrassment, and nodded at Lin Wan again and again: "I'll arrange for someone to burn grass and wood ashes." Prepare lime powder. ”

"I can't help with anything else, so leave the lime powder to me." Lin Xiuwu, who didn't open his mouth for a long time, heard that a large amount of lime powder was needed, so he volunteered to take over this task.

Qi Jun was a little embarrassed to refuse, but Lin Wan smiled directly: "Then there will be Grandfather Lao!" ”
