One by one, they heard that there was a way to kill and drive away the pests that grew in the medicinal herb base, and their faces showed joy one by one.

"Let's hurry up and eat first, try the eldest sister's method first, eldest sister, I don't know if this method will succeed or not, so I have to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, but, fifth brother, the eldest sister still has something to ask you."

"Eldest sister, what do you have to say, you say, fifth brother listen?"

"If the eldest sister thinks of this method, it won't be able to drive away the pests in our medicinal material base, let's dig out these medicinal materials in advance, whether these medicinal materials are effective or not, and whether they can be sold for money." Liu Yiyu asked.

"No, these medicinal materials have not yet been completed, and the medicinal effects in them have not reached the level of effectiveness, so they cannot be used." The fifth brother replied without hesitation.

"Then, the leaves on the top part of the medicinal herbs we grow have been eaten up by pests, will it affect the efficacy of the medicinal herbs?" Then Liu Yiyu asked after thinking of this.

"This is not going to happen, the production of medicinal herbs will be reduced, this is certain."

"That's it, the eldest sister knows, let's eat it quickly, try the eldest sister's method first, if it really happens, our family will be able to recover at least part of the loss." Liu Yiyu nodded, indicating that he understood.

After everyone in the Liu family finished eating, Liu Yiyu asked Liu Li, the second sister, and the third sister to take out all the wormwood in the house, and then Liu Yiyu asked them to chop all the wormwood.

"Eldest sister, do you want to chop up these wormwoods and sprinkle them into the medicinal herbs planted in the field? The fifth brother and our grandfather also chopped wormwood, mixed it with other insect repellent herbs, and sprinkled it into our planting herb base? But these can only be used for a while, and after a day or two, they will be restored again? ”。 The fifth brother saw that his eldest sister was thinking of this method, and after he and our master used it, the fifth brother shook his head with some disappointment.

"Oh, you have used wormwood to chop and sprinkle it into the medicinal herb field we have planted to repel insects, what other deworming herbs have you mixed with and chopped together?" After Liu Yiyu heard the words of the fifth brother, his eyes lit up, and he specialized in the industry.

I just heard my mother say that if you smoke wormwood and smoke it, you can repel insects and mosquitoes, and if you use several medicinal materials that can repel insects and kill insects, in a proportion, and light and smoke them together in your own medicinal fields, is it more effective? .

"Are there peppercorns, artemisia, cloves, herbs, and peilan?" The fifth brother replied.

"Fifth brother, is this method different from the method you and our grandfather use? The eldest sister wants to chop these wormwoods, light them with fire, and smoke them slowly, do you think this can drive away these pests? What's more, what about killing?

However, the eldest sister thought about it again, I am afraid that the effect of wormwood is not as strong as several proportions combined to smoke, and the eldest sister estimates, should we also have a certain proportion? ”。 Liu Yiyu said what he thought.

"Why didn't the fifth brother think of this method? Eldest sister, your method may not work, but our family has planted ten acres of medicinal materials, and we use these medicinal materials to smoke and repel insects, I am afraid that the dosage is very much.

Cloves and peppercorns are worth a lot of silver, but to the other few cheap, Rao is so, the amount is more, but also have to spend a lot of silver, sister, according to the fifth brother, let's first use chopped wormwood, light it with fire, smoke it first, if there is an effect, we don't get anything else, just use wormwood to smoke and repel insects.

If the effect is not good, let's think about other things, big sister, what do you think? ”。 The fifth brother's eyes lit up, and he said to Liu Yiyu about the things he was thinking about one by one.

"Cheng, let's do this first, fifth brother, now a small batch of wormwood has been chopped out, you and Brother Huang will try this method first, and we will continue to chop wormwood here."

"Okay, big sister, I'll go now." The fifth brother said, took out the dustpan, got a dustpan and went out.

At the time of three quarters of an hour, the fifth brother rushed in excitedly and hurriedly said to the Liu family, "Mother, eldest sister, what is this method?" It has only been smoked for such a short time, and there have been many pests falling from the leaves of the medicinal herbs, and the fifth brother also turned over the pests that fell, some of them are completely dead, some are half-dead, and some are fainted, but when they are smoked with wormwood, it consumes too much wormwood, and after only such a short period of effort, a dustpan of wormwood is about to run out."

As the fifth brother spoke, he filled two dustpans of wormwood, and then used a flat pole to carry it out on the left and the right.

"Mother, how much wormwood do we have in our house?" Liu Yiyu looked at his mother, and saw that he had chopped a lot of wormwood, but when he put it up, there were only a few dustpans.

In addition, if you plant ten acres of medicinal herbs and smoke wormwood to repel insects, this is not enough.

"Our wormwood has moved out, that's it, but there are a lot of old and tall wormwoods at the foot of the mountain? Mother, why don't you go and chop some back? ”。 When Liu Li heard that the wormwood was smoked, he could drive away the pests in the ten acres of land he planted, and Liu Li was happy in his heart.

"Well, my mother, the second sister, and the third sister are going to chop wormwood, the fourth sister, you and the eldest sister go out together to help the fifth brother, the ten acres of land planted by our family, just rely on the fifth brother and the eldest brother Huang to be busy, plus time waits for no one, let's move quickly, Xun'er, you and the eighth sister continue to chop wormwood, eighth sister, can you eat and live?" If you can't eat, you tell your eldest sister that after all, your body is the most important, and nothing else can be compared." Liu Yiyu arranged the tasks one by one.

"Eldest sister, I'm fine, how am I?" The eighth sister patted her chest and said reassuringly.

"Don't be reckless, if you can't do it, don't hold on, don't let your mother and eldest sister worry about you, you know? And Xun'er, you are staring at the eighth sister, you know? ”。

"Big sister, I know." Xun'er nodded at Liu Yiyu.

In the ten acres of medicinal herbs planted by the Liu family, seven or eight piles of wormwood were ignited, and Liu Yiyu, the fifth brother, the fourth sister, as well as Huang Qing, Zhou Wenwu, Zhang Cheng and Liu Yiyu's henchworm Feibai also came, and they looked at a piece of wormwood one by one.

Wormwood can't light an open flame, first, light an open flame, there is no smoke, how to drive away insects, and second, you have to find a person to blow the smoke of wormwood in the wind, to the medicinal herbs in the planting field, this job is a trick.

How so? It's more tiring than doing gravity work.

It's hard to control the smoke.

If it's a headwind, it's sure to choke on your mouthful of wormwood smoke.

At first, it was all in the process of groping, but after everyone slowly figured out some methods, things became simpler.
