Chapter 329: Catching Insects

In spring, everything recovers, birds and beasts also usher in the reproduction period, beasts are like this, in fact, people are also like this, in the spring, it is very easy to move.

No, Huang Dazhi took a fancy to the blind date and was about to get married, and Gao Mingwan also took a fancy to the blind date and was ready to get married.

Huang Dazhi's wedding date is very close, and it will be more than 20 days before the wedding date, but Gao Mingwan's wedding date has to wait a little longer, Wang Xiuxiu has a birthday in June, and the Wang family hopes to let Wang Xiuxiu get married after her birthday at home.

But the following days were not good all of a sudden, so I had to delay until August to get married again.

During this time, they had to be busy with marriage, buying houses and buying various wedding supplies. Gao Mingcheng, a married person, seems a little leisurely.

The fruit trees bought from Shimen Village have already been planted, and after two spring rains, the fruit seedlings are growing well and there are no problems.

But when Gao Mingcheng inspected a batch of sugar oranges planted last autumn, he found that there were several tree borers.

Orange trees are the most susceptible to insect decay, people who have planted fruit trees, should be no stranger to this, once the fruit tree borers, it must be cured as soon as possible, otherwise slowly, the fruit tree will be easy to die.

In addition to orange trees, peach trees are also the most susceptible to insects.

In later generations, peach gum has also become a beauty product and is sought after, but how did peach gum come about? That is, the tree has insects, or is infected by fungi and bacteria, resulting in epidermal damage, and then the bark will flow gum, and the viscose will gather together, and it will become golden peach gum, and if it hangs on the tree for a longer time, it will become tan.

Once the peach tree is bleeding gum, it will reduce the yield of peaches, and the bleeding gum parts will also rot, or even cause the entire branch or peach tree to wilt.

Therefore, planting fruit trees does not mean that after planting, there is no need to manage them.

The field management is also very troublesome, once you don't manage it, then the fruit tree will either die, or not bear much, or the fruit is sour.

Gao Mingcheng's batch of peach trees has just been planted, and they are healthy and disease-free, but it is difficult to say after that.

Seeing Gao Mingcheng holding a thick wire, many beauties asked curiously, "What are you doing with this?" ”

Gao Mingcheng said: "The orange tree has worms, I will use this to hollow out the wormhole, and then catch the worms." ”

"By the way, you have to get pesticides." Gao Mingcheng remembered that he didn't take pesticides, so he came to the miscellaneous room where pesticides were specially placed and took pesticides and some cotton.

"I'll take you with me." Many beauties said with interest.

During the days when she returned to the countryside, she lived quite comfortably, the meals were all cooked by Gao Mingcheng, knowing that she couldn't eat rice and meat, so she changed her to a vegetarian diet, so although she still felt hungry, it was much better than before.

"Okay, you follow along, but when the medicine is up, just walk away." Gao Mingcheng commanded, and then brought a lot of beauty to the tree where the insects were born.

How can you tell if a tree has insects? Peach, apricot and cherry trees will secrete gelatinous substances, and as long as you see these gelatinous substances, you will be able to know that there is a problem with the tree and you need to treat it in time.

But trees that don't secrete gelatinous substances have to look elsewhere to see if the branches and leaves are wilting, and whether there is insect droppings under the roots.

This batch of trees has not been planted for a long time, and even if there are insects, the insects are not large, so from the outside, the wormholes are small, and there is less insect droppings discharged.

Gao Mingcheng pointed to the root of one of the trees and said, "Pay attention, this small pile of wood chips. These are insect droppings, and we have to empty all the insect droppings in the tree holes later, and then catch the insects out. ”

As he spoke, he had already squatted down and began to work with the thick wire in his hand.

Under his nimble control, the insect-eaten hole was hollowed out little by little, because the tree was small, the insect was small, and the hole was not big, and soon, the thick wire stabbed a worm and dragged it out of the hole.

The bug is not completely dead, and the body is still wriggling and struggling.

"Well, it's a longhorn beetle larvae, this thing is very fragrant when fried in oil. But it seems that pregnant women can't eat it. Gao Mingcheng showed it to many beauties, and many beauties saw that the white and chubby larvae of the longhorn beetle was still writhing, and they only felt a burst of nausea, and turned their heads to the side and retched.

Gao Mingcheng regretted killing the worm and buried it with soil.

This pregnant woman really can't afford to hurt.

"Tomei, you'd better go somewhere else." Gao Mingcheng said, and then prepared to take cotton and dip it with pesticides, and then stuff it into a wormhole with a branch and smear pesticides everywhere.

Pesticides can play a role in killing insects, if you just take out the insects, then it can't be cured, after smearing pesticides, Gao Mingcheng used wet mud to block the wormhole.

This is the same as a person who needs to be bandaged when injured, and plugging the hole with mud can prevent ants from crawling in to build a nest, and it can also prevent other insects from laying eggs in the tree hole.

Many Mei walked to the side to see the growth of other fruit trees, and after there was no interference, Gao Mingcheng's movements were faster, and after a while, he caught a few larvae of the longhorn beetle.

One of the bugs is as fat as a little finger, and it's full of protein!

Gao Mingcheng swallowed his saliva inexplicably, remembering that when he was a child, he really ate all kinds of insects, and the living conditions were too poor at that time, and he often couldn't eat enough.

So the insects and eggs of the birds in the mountains were sinned, and he ate all the bamboo worms, the larvae of the longhorn beetle, the locusts, and the kudzu worms.

If you don't have the conditions to fry it, you can just put it on the fire and cook it, and then eat it while it's hot, it's very fragrant.

Gao Mingcheng reminisced about his childhood, but he didn't plan to eat these insects, he was afraid that after seeing many beauties, he would even dislike the pot for stir-frying.

But he didn't lose the insects, and packed them in a wide leaf, intending to bring them back to the chickens, who ate such high-protein insects and loved to lay eggs.

When he passed by his vegetable patch, he saw a lot of weeds growing in the field, including a lot of dandelions.

It is indeed a good thing that everything recovers in spring, but for farmers, hoeing grass has also become a daily routine, otherwise you have not hoeed grass for three or five days, then you are fortunate to feel Tao Yuanming's field life - grass is full of beans and seedlings.

Tao Yuanming is not bad for money, so the grass can be sparse with beans and seedlings, but the farmers who rely on the land to feed themselves do not dare to do this, they must hoe the grass and fertilize frequently, and expect the crops to grow vigorously and then produce grain.

Gao Mingcheng also planted the vegetables that should be planted in the field, and he would return to the village every three or five days, so the vegetables must be planted.

If a countryman goes to buy vegetables to eat, he will be laughed at and his big teeth will be laughed off.

Gao Mingcheng first put insects, pesticides and other things home, as soon as the insects were thrown on the ground, a fat hen quickly rushed up, pecked the insects on the ground to eat, and other hens also swarmed up, eating happily.

Gao Mingcheng carried a hoe and a bamboo basket to go out again, he planned to get some dandelions to eat, now the dandelions in the field are very tender, they are a kind of wild vegetables that can be eaten, and when the dandelions grow up, they are a kind of herbs that can be used in medicine.

But for children, the deepest impression of dandelion is definitely its seed.

The seeds are white balls, fluffy and cute, and when the wind blows, the seeds fall off and go away with the wind.

That kind of seed is like a parachute, where it falls, where it will grow a large dandelion in the next year.
