Stone sulfur mixture is made of quicklime, sulfur and water, is a fungicide commonly used in modern agriculture, fruit trees are sprayed with stone sulfur mixture during dormant period, prevention and control of common rot disease, anthracnose, rust of fruit trees, kill the overwintering eggs of mites on fruit trees. Her family planted a few acres of fruit trees, and her father would boil them every summer when she was a child, so she knew the proportion. Peony plants can also be sterilized with a stone sulfur mixture, which she seems to have seen on TV as well.

"Second uncle, have you heard of sulfur?" Now is the time to spray the peony branch with stone sulfur mixture, and it is necessary to hurry up and boil the stone sulfur mixture. Sulfur was an essential material in ancient times, and the Great Zhou must have it.

"Sulfur ......" The second uncle and Wang Linyuan glanced at each other, both a little dazed, "But the realgar that soaked in wine?" ”

Lan Yi shook his head: "It's not realgar, it's sulfur used in **, haven't you heard of it?" ”

"Gunpowder?" The second uncle was worried when he heard this, "Old man, this medicine must be bought at the pharmacy." ”

Gunpowder...... Medicine...... Lan Yi knew that the second uncle had misunderstood, so she hurriedly shook her head with a smile: "Second uncle, it's not that I'm sick, this sulfur is for peony, I'll go to the hillside to find Liuzi first." ”

The six sons were well-informed, but they had never heard of such things as sulfur, and neither had Zhao Huajiang and Lin Xi heard of it.

"Uncle Zhao, our peony survives the winter, in addition to tying straw to keep warm, what should we do to prevent insects?" Lan Yi asked.

Zhao Shangjing said bluntly: "Cutting off diseased branches and leaves is burned, and other methods are rare." ”

Wang Lin was happy to see his sister-in-law bowing her head and pondering, so she interjected: "Sister-in-law, if the crops in the field are small insects, there are some methods. ”

"Raw worms," this worm should be an aphid, Lan Yi then asked, "Second brother, can you tell me what methods there are?" ”

Wang Linxi was silent for a while, and then sorted out his words: "The insects in the soil are lime, and the branches and leaves are smoked and sprayed. Smoke mostly with chia grass and mangweed; The juice is sprayed with arsenic, lime, or salt mixed with water. But that's not all, the year before last we had a big pest here, when the yamen sent people down to command the insects, they mentioned that in addition to arsenic, lime and salt, there are mirages, fishy water, and stone flow yellow boiled juice to smear and repel insects, but these latter few we use less here. ”

Zhao Huajiang looked at Wang Linxi in surprise, but he didn't expect that he knew a lot. Zhao Huajiang as a craftsman, unless he is a disciple, he will not tell his housekeeping skills to outsiders, Wang Linxi is real, his brain is also easy to use, what he said the year before last I still remember, is a good seedling.

"Has this second brother of Shiliu Huang been seen?" Lan Yi didn't care what Zhao Shangjing thought, Shi Liuhuang should be what he called sulfur.

Wang Linxi pursed his lips, he also inquired later, but found nothing: "No." Sister-in-law thinks that this stone flow yellow and sulfur are the same thing? ”

I have to say that although Wang Linxi is silent, his mind is also clear.

"It should be."

Liuzi patted his head suddenly, and also remembered something: "Madam, I heard that the things used by the juggling team to breathe fire are stone flow yellow, and the juggling team must have it there." ”

"Sulfur is also something that makes gunpowder for fireworks, and it seems that Shiliu Huang must be sulfur. Sixth son, you know many people and have a wide range of roads, can you find a way to buy ten catties of stone and yellow back? ”

The trust in Lan Yi's eyes and the recognition in his words made Liuzi flutter suddenly, and he immediately patted his chest and promised: "Madame, don't worry, I'll bring Madame back tomorrow." ”

Lan Yi lowered her head and snickered, this kid couldn't help but be praised by others, and he was still a little frizzy.

"Uncle Zhao, I saw in the book that you can use this stone yellow and lime juice to smear the peony branches to prevent insects, do you think this method can be done?" Lan Yi sorted out her expression and consulted a professional.

Zhao Huajiang thought for a moment, mirage boiled water can be used, and the proportion of this water is very related, such a unique craftsmanship will naturally not leak out lightly.

"The lime should be usable, but I don't know if the stone is yellow. Madam, this boiled water to repel insects pays attention to the amount of water, and if it is not used well, it will suffer. ”

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, this medicine is very safe." Long-term repeated use of stone sulfur mixture will cause drug harm, but once or twice a year is still beneficial and harmless.

Zhao Shangjing saw that she was so sure, and he was inevitably unconvinced. Although he is a florist hired by the three families, the real master is still the eldest girl of the Xia family, if this medicine is broken, although he can't blame it, but such a large area of peonies is planted in vain It is also distressing.

"Madam, do you only use medicine on your hillside or do you use it all? What if I'm on a business trip? Zhao Shangjing asked directly, he was a straight-tempered person, otherwise he would not have offended the lord's family in the Xia Mansion and was kicked out.

"Sister-in-law, if you want to use it, use it in one piece." Wang Linxi could hear what Zhao Shangjing meant, but he still believed in his sister-in-law's ability more than him.

Seeing that Zhao Shangjing's face was unhappy, the sixth son was afraid that he would say the wrong thing again, so he hurriedly interjected: "My girl has explained that the affairs on this hillside are all decided by Madame. Madam, I have to bother you with how to use it after Shi Liuhuang bought it back. ”

Liuzi's words were very clear, and Zhao Huajiang looked at Lan Yi in surprise after hearing this, then lowered his head and stopped talking.

How could Lan Yi not know what he was thinking, but such a person couldn't blindly suppress: "En." I have seen the use of the medicine after boiling it in the book but have not used it, and then I will invite the second uncle, the second brother and Uncle Zhao to discuss it, you are all good at farming and raising flowers, I am just talking on paper. ”

The next thing is simple, Liuzi bought sulfur, Lan Yi boiled the stone sulfur mixture according to the proportion and diluted it with water to a suitable solution, after the peony pruning is completed, remove the dead leaves on the peony and apply it to the branches with a brush, after a few days of drying, the temperature gradually approaches zero, and the last process - the peony branch is tied to straw for the winter, this binding method is like tying the transplanted tree with a straw rope in the modern city to keep warm, simple but very effective.

"It's still too weak! You have to strengthen your exercise, otherwise you will be able to run anywhere if there is danger. Soaking in the bathtub, Lan Yi rubbed her sore arms and sighed, after a few days of busyness, Lan Yi's arms were about to turn into the same scarecrow mode as the peony plant, painful and hard.

In fact, Lan Yi's body is good among women, she was born in the hometown of martial arts, she was influenced by her father since she was a child, and she also learned three sets of Shaolin Changquan and Yang's Tai Chi, but it is only used to strengthen the body, and she has never fought with anyone. But Lan Yi still practiced in the morning and evening when she had free time, stretching her fists and feet to ensure her body's reaction speed and coordination.

After the peony branches were bundled, Zhao Shangjing did not immediately leave Beigou Village and go home for the winter, but went into the mountains to look for flowers with Niu Wentian, the father of Niu Dan. Niu Wentian is also half a hunter, and he will also go into the mountains to hunt when he is not working, Zhao Shangjing is a nymphomaniac, and he can't wait to go all over the mountains for the sake of strange flowers and plants.

Lan Yi remembered Xu Xiake's bold words of "The big husband should swim in the blue sea and the twilight is blue", and she also had a little admiration for this Zhao gardener. She will not look for grass in the mountains, but she will also wander around the side of the mountain to harvest wild fruits and herbs.

First of all, there are many persimmons in the mountains, but because they are loved by the villagers, there are many people who pick them. Lan Yi followed the Chen family to the mountains to pick twice and found that the persimmon trees in the ravine had been picked up, so she followed her second aunt Li to learn to make persimmons, the persimmon steps were very cumbersome, but Lan Yi did it very seriously, because persimmons are familiar and favorite dried fruits.

In addition to persimmons, what can be harvested in this season is the hawthorn in the mountains, the hawthorn is also called red fruit here, because of the sour taste, the village people do not pick much, Lan Yi is very tempted, this is also a good opportunity to make money. It costs a lot of money to plant peonies, Lan Yi is okay, but the second uncle's family can be said to be very poor. Only a small part of the grain laid by the second uncle's family was left, and the rest was directly sold for silver to supplement the family, but they did not borrow silver from Lan Yi again.

In the past few days, Wang Linxi and Lin Yuan and his wife have been resting at home, slowly tired of the autumn harvest, Lan Yi directly called these four people, led the donkey to the mountains to pick red fruits everywhere, and told Lin Xi and his wife that the red fruits could be sold at a good price in winter.

After a few days of picking like this, the five of them also picked twenty bags of red fruits. Lan Yi put the red fruit in her west wing room and dried it for a few days before storing it in the cellar. When storing, I borrowed the preservation method described by the second uncle, first spread a thick layer of fresh pine branches on the ground, and then pile the hawthorn on it, and cover the hawthorn with thick hawthorn leaves and licorice for long-term storage.

In the midst of busyness, the most important festival in September - Chung Yeung Festival.

The ancients took yang as the top, and in the Book of Changes, the number six is yin and nine is yang, so the ninth day of the ninth month of September is a double yang day, that is, double yang. The yang energy of the double yang day is too strong, and the Zhou people think that this is a fierce day, and the custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine with dogwood is inserted to ward off evil spirits and drive away evil.

Dogwood is called to ward off evil spirits, chrysanthemums are for longevity, appreciating chrysanthemums, drinking chrysanthemums, hairpin chrysanthemums, and eating chrysanthemum cakes are the main tones of the Double Ninth Festival. Most of the people in the village plant one or two chrysanthemums by the courtyard wall, and the wild chrysanthemums on the roadside and hillside are also in full bloom, which is correspondingly interesting. Lan Yi didn't plant chrysanthemums in her yard, she always enjoyed flowers and didn't plant flowers. Flowers are not good for a hundred days, although the flowers are beautiful, the falling flowers are whiter and add a few years of ruthless emotion, she doesn't want to increase the sadness, and the wild flowers in this mountain are the most beautiful, and there is no need to plant a few at home.

Because the women of the Zhou Dynasty liked hairpins, the chrysanthemums of the Double Ninth Festival became a must-have scenery on the women's heads, and even when they went to the mountains to pick red fruits and hawthorns, the chrysanthemums on Liu's head were never picked, and even a few wild chrysanthemums of various colors were decorated with the edge of the large chrysanthemums, which was suitable for the occasion.

There are also many women in the village who are dressed like Liu these days, and the young and beautiful daughter-in-law is also pleasing to the eye, but there are a few older fat women who are also a flower, which makes Lan Yi feel that there is a fight with the flowers in "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", but these women still feel very confident, and Lan Yi doesn't dare to look up every time she sees and says hello, for fear of laughing.

How do you know that her appearance of hanging her head like this is a different meaning in the eyes of Liu and others. PS: Approaching the Spring Festival, let's go to the New Year's market today to make a big purchase, and I bought a few hundred yuan of all kinds of dried fruits that I was reluctant to eat on weekdays and gave them to my parents as a little heart. Xiaolan felt that he was a poor bastard with filial piety, and everyone said, isn't it?
