"We people are so happy today! Glad! We, the people, are so happy today! Glad! ”

After quitting Mr., Yunxi went back humming a song. I don't want any real bad news waiting for her.

"Oh no, little lady, chrysanthemum peanut bugs!" As soon as she entered the house, Yuanyuan reported her discovery to Yunxi.

Yunxi chuckled in his heart, it's finally here! In her previous life, the flowers on her terrace were medicine jars, and pests such as aphids, scale insects, red spiders, leaf miner flies, etc., were one after another, and they were repeatedly banned.

So in this ancient time when there were no pesticides, she was very careful, never dared to pour water on the leaves, and did not dare to plant too crowded, and the yellow leaves were also removed in time and thrown far away, just for fear of improper care of insects. From time to time, I also tinkered with garlic water and skunk leaf infusion to prevent pests, and the effect was not bad, and the spring and summer when the most prone to outbreak of pests passed smoothly.

Who knows if you can't hide, it's only been a few days in autumn, and the bugs are coming.

"Take me to see what to do." Yunxi put the things on the bookcase, didn't bother to wash his face, and walked out.

Yuanyuan hurriedly followed, and after a while, he arrived at the back garden. Jingrui was busy working in the garden, and when she saw Yunxi coming, she hurriedly greeted her: "Little lady, come on, that's it, look, it's black and greasy." ”

Yunxi took a closer look, and sure enough, the black chrysanthemum aphids were densely covered with the newly grown flower bones of the chrysanthemums, and they were trying to drill into the heart of the flower.

"Little lady, we must kill them immediately, otherwise when they get into the heart of the flower, it will be troublesome." Jingrui said.

It's not just trouble, if the flowers and bones are eaten, you have to sell them for money, and thank God if you don't lose money.

Yunxi looked at the black patch on her fingers and knew that she was pinching the worm with her hand. "Jingrui, you go back to the house and take a pen to sweep, don't pinch it with your fingers, it looks weird and disgusting."

After speaking, he turned to Yuanyuan, "You go to your mother first, ask for 20 dried chili peppers, add five scoops of water, boil for a quarter of an hour, and sprinkle it when it is cold." ”

As for herself, she planned to go back to the house to check the book that Ye Yuan had copied for her, and she seemed to remember that there was a mention of the insecticidal method of chrysanthemum pests.

As a result, when I went back to check, it was true, but she didn't know what Jiacao and Mangcao were mentioned in the book. It should be a product of the south, and if it was from the north, she would not have heard of it. However, for the sake of insurance, Yunxi still went to ask Ye Yuan and Ye Fu a few, but they all said that they didn't know, so they died.

This is troublesome, and the control methods she remembers are nothing more than spraying chili pepper water, onion and garlic water, neem water, and tobacco leaf water. Neem is still a product of the south, and tobacco is still far away in South America on the other side of the ocean, and it is estimated that it will take hundreds of years before it is introduced, but this is not necessarily, isn't the pepper coming in advance? Maybe tobacco is available now, but even if there is, far water can't quench the thirst of the near.

Just when Yunxi was worried, Jingrui hurriedly came in and reported another bad news, the back of the chrysanthemum leaf was suspected to be a small spider of pests.

"Isn't it a small red spider with a big needle tip?" Yunxi hurriedly asked.

Jing Rui was surprised: "Yes, yes, that's it, they're also pests, right?" I don't see them moving much on their stomachs, and they don't have insect nets, so I don't think it's a good thing. ”

"Very observant." Yunxi nodded, "It's a pest, I have a way to cure this, but it's more troublesome." ”

"Don't be afraid of trouble, if you have it, you can get it." Jingrui said happily, "Then I'll go and sweep the greasy worms again, little lady, you are busy." ”

After Jingrui left, Yunxi also raised his feet and went to the kitchen. Spider mites are more troublesome than aphids because they are not like aphids that lie on the front of young leaves and are easy to spot. It steals nutrients from the back side of the leaf, so it is not easy to find, and often by the time you find it, you already have to apply pesticides.

This time, though, she had to resort to a more cumbersome physical method, which was to brush the leaves with flour paste water.

This is what she learned in the flower forum before, and she has never used it because she is troublesome, and she sprays it directly. It's a nightmare to think about the number of plants that need to be treated now compared to the number that needs to be treated on the small terrace before, but there is no way, you can't buy pesticides, as long as it has an effect, no matter how troublesome it is!

When I went to the kitchen, I first looked at the round boiled chili water, the water was already boiling, and the kitchen was filled with a faint smell of chili peppers. Then in Aunt Zhang's puzzled eyes, she insisted on a little flour.

With flour and a container, Yunxi found a notched red porcelain basin that is not commonly used, this kind of porcelain basin does not know how it is fired, the appearance is very rough, it looks not much stronger than the tile pot, but the inside is very smooth, it is black and red, and it looks like ceramics.

But today she didn't come to study the pot, but to make the batter. Pour in the free first, then add 4 to 5 times the amount of water, and stir well.

Then she came out with batter water in the puzzled and inquiring eyes of several ladies in the kitchen.

Then I still took a brush and brushed it carefully on the leaves with red spiders, fortunately, Yuanyuan and Jingrui were taken care of more carefully, although the pests were not completely broken, it was the early stage, and it was not too difficult to cure.

But I can't stand the large number of plants, thousands of them, and I have to wait for her to treat them one by one, and it is estimated that the cucumber vegetables will be cold. So Yunxi is just trying the effect today, and tomorrow she is going to ask Jingrui and Yuanyuan to go to the village friends to help, pay them wages, and buy some snacks to eat.

Before Yunxi finished brushing a pot of batter, it was getting late, and it was time for dinner. Yun Xi threw it down and went back to eat. Yuan Yuan Jingrui and the two did not agree to go back to eat first, and insisted on doing it until they couldn't see clearly.

Jingrui smiled: "Little lady, you just let me do it, it will be harmful for one night if you don't do it for a night, what are you afraid of eating later, you can't be hungry." ”

Even Yuanyuan also insisted: "It's all because of me, I sprayed garlic water twice less, so I attracted these insects, I don't want to do it well, how can I be worthy of you, little lady, and my father, I must also talk about me." ”

Yunxi saw that the two of them insisted, so he didn't care about them, at most half an hour left and right, the sky was going to be completely dark, and he couldn't be hungry for much.

"I'll see tomorrow after brushing, and if it works, I'll ask the children in the village for help, and if it doesn't work, I'll find a way."

After Yunxi finished eating, the two little girls came back, Yunxi hurriedly drove them to eat, and checked the book carefully, because when copying it, it was classified by plants, and the methods of controlling pests were very scattered, maybe there was a method that she hadn't noticed.

The hard work paid off, and I really found two for her, which were relatively easy to operate. One is pulsatilla boiled water. Take half a catty of its bulbs, add five catties of water and boil for half an hour, filter and spray, which can kill greasy insects. There is also a peach leaf boiled water. Take one pound of peach leaves, add about three pounds of water and boil for two quarters of an hour, filter and spray, which can control greasy insects, inchworms and soft pests; The peach leaves are chopped and dried and powdered and applied to the soil to prevent and control underground pests such as mole crickets and grubs.

Yunxi thinks that the peach leaf boiling water is particularly good, not to mention the effort, and there are many types of pests to control, it seems that she underestimated the role of this book, and she will have to read it several times in the future.
