Chapter 144: Rice Pests and Rice Field Crabs
Yu Qiuyu originally thought that Yu Yifan would not care about Yu Feng's marriage, but she didn't expect Yu Yifan to give such a conclusion?
The Shi family and Master Wu are not a good match for Yu Feng at all, but Li Jin has sharpened his head and wants to marry Yu Feng to the son of the Shi family and Master Wu.
Thinking about it, Yu Qiuyu looked back at Yu Yifan in surprise.
"Brother, I'll give you a suggestion."
Yu Yifan didn't know what he was thinking, and when he heard Yu Qiuyu say this, he looked up at Yu Qiuyu in surprise.
"What do you suggest?"
Yu Qiuyu coughed twice, cleared her throat, and said, "Brother, that's the case, I don't think you should use this kind of thing as an excuse to refuse your aunt." ”
Yu Yifan looked at her in surprise again, "Why?" ”
Yu Qiuyu looked directly at Yu Yifan, sighed, and said earnestly, "Because my aunt wants you to help, if you say this, someone as cautious as your aunt will definitely think that you don't want to help them at all, and if Sister Yu Feng can't marry Ruyi Langjun in the future, she will naturally hate you for refusing to save you in the first place, unless you are willing to marry Cousin Yu Feng." And cousin Yu Feng's virtue is worrying, and she is really not a good match for your Lord Yu, so I think it's best not to tell your aunt if this kind of thing is inappropriate, just give proper guidance, anyway, let's do things with a clear conscience. ”
Anything else, who wants to care so much about right and wrong?
After thinking about this, Yu Qiuyu looked back at Yu Yifan again.
Yu Yifan lowered his head and supported his cheeks, as if he was thinking about it.
Looking at Yu Yifan, Yu Qiuyu felt that his heart was lifted.
How scared and worried she was that Yu Yifan would agree to Li Jin.
Or worry more about Yu Yifan will cause trouble for himself.
Yu Qiuyu sat opposite Yu Yifan, not daring to move, anxiously waiting for Yu Yifan's answer.
She hoped that Yu Yifan would not agree to Li Jin, but she was afraid that Yu Yifan would get into trouble.
At the same time, though, she was a little confused.
How did Yu Yifan know that Master Wu and the little son of the Shi family were not a good match for Yu Feng at all?
Looking at Yu Yifan's appearance, he doesn't look like the kind of person who casually talks empty words and doesn't pay responsibility afterwards.
It didn't take long for Yu Yifan to finally raise his head from his contemplation.
"Okay, I promise you, I won't tell my aunt, but if my aunt asks, I still have to say it."
That's whatever.
However, Yu Qiuyu thinks that Li Jin is not so shrewd and not so idle, who would be idle to ask some questions that should not be asked and add to the blockage for himself?
Therefore, if Yu Yifan didn't mention it, Li Jin Bacheng would not take the initiative to come over and ask Yu Yifan, "Lord Yu, are Master Wu and my daughter suitable for boarding?" "Master Yu, is the son of the Shi family and my little girl suitable for boarding?"
The dinner ended in a state of palpitations.
Yu Qiuyu put away the rice bowl, and after Yu Yifan rinsed his mouth, he looked at the book by the light of the candle.
Yu Yifan wanted to better handle the affairs of the prefect's yamen, he didn't say much before the prefect's yamen, and worked diligently all day long, for fear that he was not good enough, in order to let himself better understand his work content, Yu Yifan basically looked through the files and official affairs that had been piled up before the prefect's yamen every day.
Yu Qiuyu believes that this is not necessary.
It's okay to deal with the things in front of you from the perspective of a prefect, and you don't need to care so much about anything else, besides, when Zhao Zhichen became the prefect, he didn't see him and the great achievements of the previous prefect of Lingnan.
But Yu Qiuyu's thoughts, Yu Yifan didn't dare to agree.
Yu Yifan believes that since he is already sitting in the position of the prefect, he should handle the work well.
This made Yu Qiuyu very helpless.
Yu Yifan is a workaholic, often forgetting to sleep and eat in order to deal with official business, and Yu Yifan's health is not so good, Yu Qiuyu wants to persuade him but can't.
It's really painful.
In ancient times, she was a little woman with no power or power, and this family needed to rely on Yu Yifan to exist.
But Yu Yifan doesn't care about his body so much......
Yu Qiuyu persuaded Yu Yifan several times, but Yu Yifan still didn't listen, Yu Qiuyu had to silently clean up the rice bowl, and then brought Yu Yifan a bowl of ginseng soup.
Then, Yu Qiuyu went to the courtyard outside and brought in his little crab seedling jar.
She bought eighty or ninety crab seedlings today, and she wanted to buy more, but considering the location of the rice field and considering that it was the first time she had studied rice field crabs, she still dispelled the idea of buying more crabs.
It's spring, there are fewer bugs, bugs are a food source for crabs, if there are more crabs, there will definitely not be enough bugs to eat, so it's not a waste?
Moreover, crabs will also reproduce and produce, and Yu Qiuyu does not need to worry so much about the number of crabs.
Yu Qiuyu took good care of the crabs, put the crab jars in a hidden place, and ensured that they would not accidentally fall over when they went out, and then went to bed early.
After Yu Yiran finished writing the homework that his husband had left for him, he also went to bed early and prepared to rest.
In the middle of the night, Yu Qiuyu was thirsty, and when he got out of bed to drink water, he found that the light in Yu Yifan's house was still on.
Yu Yifan is still reading.
While Yu Qiuyu poured himself a glass of water, he also poured a glass for Yu Yifan.
"Brother, rest early."
Yu Qiuyu knew that Yu Yifan would definitely not listen to his reminder.
He is so "stubborn", Yu Qiuyu has no tricks.
With worries about Yu Yifan's physical health, Yu Qiuyu lay on the bed and fell asleep again for a long time.
After getting up early the next morning and making breakfast for Yu Yifan and Yu Yiran, Yu Qiuyu took a whip, led the black horse, held the crab seedling jar, and went up the mountain early.
The straw and trees were still stained with dew, Yu Qiuyu glanced at the straw, and the insects were still flying around in the grass.
Looking left and right, Yu Qiuyu looked for a relatively moist soil and released some of the crabs in the jar.
The crab fry crawled around in the soil, and they didn't climb for a while, but soon found a suitable hole and drilled into it.
Seeing that the crab seedlings in this place were placed, Yu Qiuyu stood up, held the clay pot steadily, and led the black horse towards the next rice field.
The black horse likes to eat grass, but the grass with dew drops in the morning is not suitable for horses to eat, until the sun comes out, the dew on the grass is almost dried and evaporated by the sun, Yu Qiuyu let go of the black horse, let the black horse eat.
She didn't even have a rein.
Anyway, the black horse recognizes the master, and as soon as he whistles, no matter where he is, the black horse will run over and stay by his side obediently.
Wu Qima ate the flowers and plants he liked to eat with peace of mind, and Yu Qiuyu released crabs in the rice field with peace of mind.
After shuttling between the rice fields for an hour, Yu Qiuyu released the rice field crabs in turn according to the situation of insects among the rice straws.
Standing on the mountain and looking at the endless rice fields, Yu Qiuyu breathed a sigh of relief.
In front of her, a small crab crawled at her feet, and she looked down at the little crab crawling around on the ground to find a place to punch holes, and suddenly felt an urge to eat the crab.
According to the number of insects, and then according to the growth of rice field crabs, if nothing else, about this summer, Yu Qiuyu can eat fragrant rice field crabs.
However, she has to look at the growth of rice field crabs first, and if they grow well, Yu Qiuyu can think about breeding rice field fish again.
So she can think about self-reliance, how much silver is left?
Yu Qiuyu remembers that when she was studying agricultural knowledge before, she had studied insect pests, and she also studied pests a lot at that time.
The main insect pests of rice are, two borer, three borer, rice leaf roller, rice planthopper, gray planthopper, white-back-planthopper, brown planthopper and so on.
And yesterday, when she went up the mountain to check, she found rice planthoppers and gray planthoppers among the insects flying around next to the rice seedlings, and also found traces of rice leaf rollers on the rice leaves.
Rice leaf roller borer is easy to cause white stripes in rice, which will seriously reduce the 1000-grain weight of rice, and the deflated grain will increase, which will lead to the reduction of rice yield.
As for rice planthoppers and gray planthoppers, they suck juice and can also spread the virus.
In ancient times, these insects were the main cause of reduced crop yields.
Not only that, the ancient methods of controlling pests are also relatively backward, often treating the symptoms but not the root cause, even in modern times, the method of controlling pests is also the use of chemical fertilizers, although this method is relatively effective, but crops will also be mixed with some toxins, resulting in unsafe diet.
Yu Qiuyu personally believes that the best way to control pests is to set up a high-level consumer, and fix the ecological environment within a range, these pests are just first-class consumers.
This method is both safe and effective.
At that time, Yu Qiuyu broke the topic of the doctoral dissertation from this perspective, and also achieved great success and successfully obtained the degree certificate.
The rice field crabs were almost released, and Yu Qiuyu rode a black horse and walked slowly down the mountain.
She rode down the mountain, and when she got off the mountain, she saw many villagers "picking vegetables" at the bottom of the mountain.
Their hands were still on the vegetables, but their eyes kept glancing at Yu Qiuyu's rice fields.
Drunkards don't mean to drink, their attention is not on vegetables at all.
Seeing Yu Qiuyu riding down from the mountain, they hurriedly took their eyes back.
However, before Yu Qiuyu left from the bottom of the mountain, someone took the initiative to talk to Yu Qiuyu.
"Qiu Yu, isn't it tiring to run up the mountain so early."
"Yu family girl, isn't it tiring to take care of such a big mountain alone?"
Yu Qiuyu knew what they wanted to ask, and what they cared about was not whether they were tired, but whether they were thinking about what they were planning.
The curiosity and gossip of this group of people are really not very light.
