Chapter 62 Poultry and animals are fattened and strong with Chinese herbs
After Zhang Guangming walked a long way, he said: "You two quickly see that this is the birthplace of the son of Bigan, in other words, it is the birthplace of the Lin family, and it is also the ancestor of the Lin family......
Professor Guo suddenly said: "The horses seem to be a little tired, and it is a little difficult to walk. β
Zhang Guangming said, "Let's go down and walk for a while and let the horses eat grass for a while." β
Their master and apprentice jumped out of the carriage and walked forward on foot, "Look ahead, there is Happy Valley in Cangyu Mountain!" Zhang Zhishu said excitedly, "Opposite is the Lion Leopard Head Reservoir." β
Li Zhongqiu looked at the reservoir in the north, she hurriedly patted Qin Chun's arm, and said softly, "Look! Wow! In the clear reservoir, there are black-and-gray wild ducks and snow-white white swans, eating those jumping fish!
Look at the brown and yellow cows and black and white sheep on the shore over there, eating green weeds! β
Zhang Guangming and the professor turned their heads and exclaimed almost at the same time: "Wow, that's it!" β
After walking forward for a while, "Look at the buildings here look so antique!" Li Zhongqiu exclaimed again.
"Yes, this is an old-style house in Xiaodianhe, which was built during the Qing Dynasty." The professor said.
Li Zhongqiu said: "No wonder, there are rows of stone houses and stone steps and stone roads with such characteristics!" β
Several people talked and laughed, walked through a green mountain and walked into a green mountain, turned a bend and went around a bend, and finally came to a small mountain village in the Taihang Mountains.
Professor Guo pointed to a ravine that stretched to the east and said: "There is a legend in this east ditch that once upon a time there was a big toad spirit in this ditch, and its breathing was full of whirring sounds.
I saw that the buildings in this village are all small buildings with gray and black tiled buildings with special ancient charm and two-story bluestone walls.
The building style is built according to the topography, and there are all kinds of fruit trees and flowers in full bloom in front of and behind the house, green leaves swaying, and birds standing on the branches chirping.
In some people's yards, puppies are lying at the door barking.
Sometimes there are a few cats meowing, and sometimes there is a flock of sheep bleating.
The people in the village saw their respected Technician Zhang Nong and Professor Guo coming to the village from afar.
One by one, they walked briskly, their faces showing extremely excited expressions.
Zhang Guangming smiled and said to the apprentices: "Hehe, the more I don't move, the more I read countless people, the people in this village are as honest and kind as the people in our village, enthusiastic and simple, and they also have the noble quality of helping others!"
At this time, a group of mountain people, smiling and ignoring the large and small stones under their feet, rushed towards this direction.
Zhang Guangming saw that he quickly grabbed the reins and shouted, "Huh, stand!" "The brakes stopped.
Zhang Guangming and Professor Guo jumped out of the carriage and hurried up to greet them with smiles on their faces.
There were seventy or eighty-year-old mountain people sitting at the door of several houses, standing up one after another, smiling and waving their hands to say hello, they all ran to tell each other, "Technician Zhang is here!" Professor Guo is here! β
One by one, they almost trotted down the high stairs and came to meet them with joy.
Several gray-haired old men hugged Zhang Guangming and Professor Guo's shoulders in good spirits, and said affectionately: "Eh, I can look forward to you!" β
"We miss you both so much!" Their words were affectionate and they were spoken with honorific titles.
An old lady on crutches came with a limp.
She smiled and said, "I can look forward to you two!" β
"Did Technician Zhang come here to breed new varieties?"
Zhang Guangming said: "I came here to collect Chinese herbs, and now the livestock and poultry in our village are sick.
"Oh, then you go to the mountains and pick some firewood and artemisia...... It can effectively prevent diseases and treat diseases in livestock. The mountain people immediately laughed.
An old man said, "Professor Guo, have you come here again to do research on agricultural machinery suitable for use in mountainous areas?" β
Guo Aimin was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Oh? Oh......"
They said enthusiastically:
"I'm going to come to the house for dinner today! I'll make you a bowl of rice soup to eat! β
"I'll make you a meal of millet thick rice for the professor today!"
β¦β¦
Professor Guo also said kindly: "Uncle, aunt, are you in good health?" β
They couldn't help but ask each other with concern, and they warmed up for a while.
Zhang Guangming pointed to the northwest and said, "Let's go to the mountains to collect some Chinese medicinal materials first, and by the way, bring some wild radish cherries, wild leeks, wild grapes, and wild strawberries to send to you."
Wait for me. β
Only then did everyone let go of Zhang Guangming and Professor Guo's hands.
Zhang Guangming and his entourage got into the carriage.
Almost at the same time, the mountain people said, "You must come to my house for dinner!" β
They politely declined, saying, "Thank you!" We brought dry food and water. β
The four of them said goodbye to the mountain people and drove the carriage up.
The mountain people reluctantly looked at the backs of a few people, and refused to leave for a long time.
Professor Guo pointed to the bumpy and gravel-paved path ahead and said, "Brother Guangming, just turn a corner in front of you." β
Zhang Guangming said: I know here.
He drove the carriage north to a road full of large and small stones.
He pointed to a road to the east and said, "There is a legend about that road......
When the king was defeated in the Battle of Makino, he passed through here in a hurry to flee to the court, and one of his shoes ran away, so the road was named the Shoe Slope.
Professor Guo turned to Zhang Guangming and said, "Brother Guangming continues to walk all the way west along this path. β
Zhang Guangming agreed, and drove the carriage on.
Due to the unevenness of the stones, the black horse took every step with difficulty, and the wheels made a "coo-dong" sound one high and one low, which carried several people forward and backward.
"Stand up, call ......" Zhang Guangming pulled the reins back, and the black horse stopped.
"Can't you go this way? The horses have to rest. Zhang Guangming stroked the back of the black horse distressedly and said.
The two young men helped Mr. Guo get out of the car.
After Professor Guo stood firm, he looked at the green bamboos in the bamboo forest, the mountain and the insects in the bamboo forest sang happily on the branches of the tall walnut trees, the frogs in the cracks of the stones below the bamboo forest sang one after another, and the crickets and worms sang in the stream next to the bamboo forest.
The group climbed all the way and walked for a while to an ancient monument, Zhang Guangming said: "This place is called Huanggu Nunnery." It's the other daughter of the King of the Rings that I told you.
Legend has it that she fled here in the Battle of Makino, when the imperial aunt built a temple here in order to hide people's eyes, and disguised herself as a nun to eat fast and chant Buddha here until her death.
She was buried here after her death. β
He pointed to the tombstone in front of him and said, "You see, this stone tablet is a proof." β
Several people crouched down to carefully watch the words on the stele......
"Judging from the inscription, this is indeed the place where the daughter of the king lived and was buried." Two educated youths said.
Professor Guo led the apprentices to pick wild vegetables and fruits, and gave some of them to the lovely mountain people who were kind and kind.
He, Zhang Guangming and two other educated youths brought another part of mulberry leaves, Polygonum multiflori, small sour dates, Bupleurum chinensis, Panax notoginseng, wolfberry, mulberry and other more than a dozen kinds of wild vegetables, wild fruits, and Chinese herbs back to Muyehua Village.
Zhang Guangming added these Chinese herbs to the grain bran and fed the livestock.
After adjusting the ratio again and again, he finally found an effective Chinese herbal medicine for the prevention and treatment of diseases.
After much experimentation, he has finally developed a good way to feed livestock and poultry.
Moreover, in this way, the animals raised are strong and pleasant.
The feathers on the fed birds are shiny and dazzling, and they are bright and beautiful.
The villagers have given unlimited expectations to the farms of each production team.
Zhang Guangming is no exception, he said to his wife with a smile: "The farms of each production team can be slaughtered when they arrive in Layue!" That's two wells! β
Li Yue'e smiled and said, "How nice it would be if that were the case!" Like the villagers, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang live in hope.
Summer is the season of lush flowers and trees, and the trees grow lush and lovely.
Zhang Guangming looked at these dense leaves and suddenly thought: "In the early summer of last year, due to drought and insect infestation, the wheat yield was greatly reduced, and the grain was scarce.
And this year, after dunging and watering the crops on the ground with the masses, weeding and eliminating pests, all kinds of crops grew well.
I will keep in mind my belief in serving the villagers wholeheartedly, and I will spare no effort to transform a barren village into a prosperous village.
This is my extremely lofty ideal, I can never forget the purpose of doing practical things for the villagers, I always do things that are beneficial to the villagers, and it is also my lifelong pursuit as a village party secretary to make the village prosperous and strong.
I also remind myself from time to time that when I look up at the starry sky, I must never forget to work the ground! β
So he worked hard day and night for the production and livelihood of the villagers!
Zhang Guangming is wearing the stars and the moon as usual today, taking vigorous steps, and the breeze in the morning after the rain is sweeping his face, and he is particularly cool to walk on the road.
When he came to the outside of the village, he admired the beauty of nature by the roadside, and he smelled the aroma of the flowers of the Chinese herbs.
The fragrance of herbs is pleasant, and the fragrance of flowers is refreshing.
The fragrance wafted into his nose in the air, and he hurriedly took a big breath of such fresh oxygen, and he suddenly felt relaxed.
He was secretly happy in his heart, these flowers were not only beautiful, but also how good it was to cure diseases and save people!
He looked up at the aspens and tall paulownia trees on the roadside, then looked down at the green grass and magnificent wild flowers, and then at the huge and bright flowers planted by the roadside.
He sighed in his heart again: as long as they are truly nourished, they will be giftedβthe grass will be green and pleasing to the eye; The big tree gives people a huge umbrella to shade the sun; The flowers will spit out a burst of fragrance, as if they have been sprinkled with perfume.
This nature has created such a miracle!
He was really impressed!
Zhang Zhishu watched and came to the field with emotion, and he bent down to carefully observe the emergence of seedlings in the corn field.
Two or three days after the summer, the seeds broke through the soil and showed a shy little face.
He saw the corn in the field, gently burrowing yellow-green tender tips from the black earth.
And the beans in another field across the ridge, with a grateful heart, were so humble that they first bowed silently to the earth for a few days, and then slowly looked at him with a sweet smile.
Zhang Guangming stood up and smiled happily, secretly happy in his heart: Okay! Look at the seedlings that come out of the brush, this land does not need to be watered.
He is like this, piece by piece, very carefully and carefully observing the crops in each field.
He was afraid that the seedlings of the field would not be even.
If you can't get out, it will be troublesome, and you have to carry water to replant one by one, so it will appear that the crops are uneven, not only looking like "the master is the master, the grandson is the grandson" but also will affect the yield of the crops.
The morning sun that erupted also jumped towards the blue sky with a red smile, and gradually the round red sun shone on Zhang Guangming's body, and he felt hot all over his body.
When he saw the tender green seedlings in the fields, his tanned and red face blossomed with joy.
It's autumn in the blink of an eye.
The management of crops in autumn is: watering, hoeing, manure, catching insects.
This morning, Zhang Guangming saw that the corn had grown waist-deep, and the sky was gloomy.
He wanted to take advantage of the rain and ask the villagers to immediately go and manure the crops.
He shouted on the loudspeaker: It's about to rain, let's quickly pull the fermented manure to add nutrients to the crops!
So, the team leaders and the team members immediately went to pull dung, and everyone ran towards the fields with smelly dung, or smelly cow dung, or sheep dung with a strong hernia.
In short, the village cadres led the masses to work actively in the fields as if there were wolves chasing dogs behind them.
Everyone is hoping for a good harvest in the fall.
Zhang Guangming thought: If I lead everyone to do this, can we achieve a bumper harvest in autumn?
