When the mulberry tree grows to the height of a man again, the Gangu rain stops all things growing.

The mulberry leaves that grew this time were all large and thick, and they looked very pleasing. At intervals, a male mulberry tree for pollination is planted upwind to ensure the yield of mulberries as a by-product.

Later, Ganguyu taught the villagers how to manage the mulberry forest.

For some branches with too many buds and too dense buds, budding needs to be thinned. When the new shoots grow to four to five inches, select three or two mulberry buds with strong development and reasonable direction to grow into strong branches, and the rest should be removed. For the main branch with only one bud, it should be topped at the right time to remove the apical dominance and promote its branching.

For some trunks that are too tall, they need to be cut dry to achieve the purpose of dwarfing mulberry plants. Thinking of the villagers of Bath Village who had worked hard to pick the leaves of the elm tree at the end of the village, Gangu Yu couldn't help but shake his head and smack his tongue.

After doing these things, everyone picked some mulberry leaves, and then they went down the mountain. Listening to the jubilant discussions of the villagers behind her, Lina hooked Ganguyu's shoulders and asked, "What about the remaining few mulberry forests, are you going to continue to improve in the next few days?"

"Not at the moment. Gangu Yu said, "Now there are not many white filaria in the village, and the number of eggs is also very small, so this mulberry forest is enough for the time being." Let the remaining mulberry forests grow on their own, pay attention to watering during the drought, and then graft at the end of winter this year, the success rate is higher, and the grafting cost is smaller. ”

A beautiful woman in a grass skirt immediately echoed: "In order to cultivate the mulberry forest just now, the three of us have tried our best to exert the growth of all things, and Xiao Guyu also took out two additional scrolls of the growth of all things, which is not a big consumption." If you want to cultivate the remaining mulberry forests, I think we should take our time!"

Pei Pei immediately asked, "Then one day these mulberry forests will not be enough." What should I do? If there is no growth of all things, it will take at least a year for the rootstock to be cultivated, and it will take several months after grafting for the mulberry forest to begin to take shape.

"Shouldn't you still be fantasizing about the white silk worm's silk fabric dominating the whole continent?" said Gangu Yu, who said with a smile. "Rest assured, with this excellent mulberry forest on the north slope, if you want to expand the planting area of mulberry trees in the future, you can directly use this excellent variety for striping or cuttings propagation, which can save a lot of time. ”

At Ganguyu's suggestion, the villagers went home with the mulberry leaves they had collected and tried to feed the filaria at home. He himself returned to the village chief's house with Pei Pei and Lena, and Silke had already prepared dinner and was waiting for them.

Dinner was a simple meal, but it was already very hearty for Bath Village. Silke was clearly in a good mood. A small barrel of the treasured ale was brought out to entertain everyone, but in the end, most of the wine ended up in Lena's stomach.

After being full of wine and food, Gangu Yu asked Pei Pei to wash all the mulberries he picked and take them out for everyone to taste. However, this plate of mulberries was eaten by Xiaoqing, who had only been eating for a long time.

Facing Pei Pei's bulging cheeks and resentful eyes, Xiaoqing just blinked his eyes twice innocently, and wiped his mouth with a small square scarf rolled in his tail, which was elegant and dignified. Lina, who was on the side, couldn't help but grin when she saw this scene, and then she seemed to suddenly remember something. He quickly retracted his smile.

Finally, Gangu Yu took out a few more cups. A few crumpled dried leaves were placed inside, then brewed with boiling water and delivered to everyone.

"What is this?" asked Lina, glancing at the cup and looking disgusted.

"This is a mulberry leaf, right?" Pei Pei observed for a long time, until the dry leaves gradually unfolded and regained their shape. She suddenly said.

"That's right, freshly baked mulberry leaf tea, you can try it. Gangu Yu introduced.

"Mulberry leaf tea, in such a short period of time, why did you process all the tea leaves?"

Although the tea leaves on the salty continent are of inferior quality, they are dried, killed, rolled and dried. There should be a lot of tea-making processes, and this is not something that can be completed in a while. And the mulberry leaf tea that Gangu Yu took out is obviously a finished product that has been fried, and the speed is a little incredible.

"Brother's movements have always been fast...... Phew, I mean, with the blessing of Mother Nature, making tea is not a matter of minutes?" said Gangu Yu.

In fact, he just spent a lot of money to buy a tea recipe in the store, and then quickly made some mulberry leaf tea with an agricultural and sideline product processing instrument.

"Well, the color of this tea looks pretty good, and it smells like mulberry leaves. Pei Pei looked at the tea in the cup curiously and commented.

"This is mulberry leaf tea made from mulberry leaves in summer, so the color of the tea soup is green. The best mulberry leaf tea is made from mulberry leaves after frosting, and the tea soup is bright yellow. "Long-term drinking of mulberry leaf tea can play a role in prolonging life, and at the same time, it also has a certain effect on weight loss and beauty." ”

As soon as Gan Guyu's words fell, Pei Pei's eyes were shining, and his little face immediately leaned over to the cup and took a sip of tea, but his facial features instantly wrinkled, and he kept smacking his tongue and said: "Scald, hot, hot!"

"Oh wow, don't you be stupid every time you hear about weight loss and beauty, okay?" Lena gloated.

Gan Guyu couldn't cry or laugh, and he couldn't complain about Peipei, who was already full of beauty, who was still obsessed with beauty. After the tea was warm, the poor Pei Pei was like revenge, pouring the teacup cup after cup until the mulberry leaf tea was no longer colored.

The next morning, Peipei, who was urged to get out of bed by the strong urge to urinate, walked to the toilet in a daze, and when he passed by the kitchen, he found that Gangu Yu and Silke were already busy inside. When she solved the problem and returned easily, it happened that Gangu Yu also walked out of the kitchen with a large plate of fragrant food.

"Wake up?" Gan Guyu smiled at her, "It's just time to have breakfast soon, you go and wake up the stinky woman too." ”

"What is this?" asked Peipei, licking her lips.

"Mulberry leaf cake. Gangu Yu took one from the plate and gave it to her, and she turned to leave. Ganguyu and Silke came to the table, and simply picked up a piece of mulberry leaf cake and ate it first.

Gangu Yu's mulberry leaf cake is different from the common method in that it is made by sandwiching a sugar-soaked batter in mulberry leaves, rather than chopping the mulberry leaves and mixing them into the batter. This is the way his mother made mulberry leaf cake for him when he was a child, and he also thought that the mulberry leaf cake made by this method was more delicious.

Just as he was eating mulberry leaf cake and thinking about his relatives with some melancholy, a sharp knock suddenly sounded outside the courtyard gate. (To be continued.) )
