Now that he has returned to the village, Gao Mingcheng naturally wants to go to his own territory.

May is the time when the flowers are in full bloom and thriving, and Kofuyama also becomes extraordinarily vibrant.

After a year of planting, the fruit trees are thriving, and the branches are luxuriant, and it is a joy to look at.

Gao Mingcheng walked around Xiaofushan and checked the situation of various fruit trees.

There are many insect pests in spring, so he needs to check them out in time, and then judge whether top dressing is needed according to the growth of leaves and flowers and fruits of fruit trees.

At this time, the loquat tree already has green fruit hanging on it, and when the fruit turns yellow, it is time to ripen.

Those few Dongkui bayberry trees with high hopes are also small green fruits hidden in the lush leaves, and when the bayberry turns red, it will show its style and attract attention.

As for the most common orange trees, the flowers on the tree are almost gone, and they belong to the decay stage, and only the pomegranate flowers hang high in the treetops, showing their beauty to the natural world.

Gao Mingcheng's orchard, because there is no scientific planning, the main focus is a mess, and he planted some fruit trees suitable for local growth.

At the foot of a hill, there is also a small shelf, where grapes are grown, when they were planted last year, the vines were very small, but this year the vines are much thicker, and there are many grape leaves, and under the broad leaves, there are clusters of small green grapes.

When Gao Mingcheng was walking around in the mountains, he met Chen Dasong and his son.

They also work in the mountains.

Gao Mingcheng asked Chen Duofu to manage the beehive, but the beehive did not need to be taken care of every day, so he often followed Chen Dasong to Xiaofushan to do things.

When the three of them met in Xiaofu Mountain, they naturally greeted each other for a while, and then Chen Dasong talked about some things about the orchard.

"Mingcheng, there are a few grapefruit trees with scale insects, you have to buy insecticides as soon as possible, otherwise the nearby fruit trees will grow insects."

"Also, you should top fertilize once in June, and you have to buy some manure and urea back."

"Of the more than 100 chickens, a total of eight died, and a few of them didn't know where they went, maybe they were taken by some wild beast."

Chen Dasong reported conscientiously.

Gao Mingcheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and get the insecticides and fertilizers back in the afternoon, and you can use them when the time comes." As for the chickens, it's normal to have a few dead. ”

After Chen Dasong finished reporting, Chen Duofu immediately said: "Mingcheng, there is already honey in the beehive, can you shake the honey now?" ”

Chen Duofu is still a beekeeper for the first time, and he can't fully grasp the situation of honey, so he looks at Gao Mingcheng with an inquisitive gaze.

Gao Mingcheng asked, "How is the situation with the beehives?" Are bee colonies strong or weak? ”

Chen Duofu thought about it for a while before he said, "It's okay, I don't see a big problem." ”

Gao Mingcheng decided to take him to see the situation of the beehive himself.

So Chen Duofu led the way in front, and Gao Mingcheng led the two dogs to follow.

When he returned to the village, the black tiger and the elves would always run to follow him, affectionately reluctant to leave.

After a while, the two of them came to a slightly flat hillside where more than a dozen beehives were placed.

Gao Mingcheng stepped forward to open the lid of the beehive and check the situation of the bee colony inside.

"Hey, two bees are hurt! It seems that they have been driven out by other bees, and they are not allowed to return to the hive. Chen Duofu noticed that several bees were driving out the two injured bees, and he was a little surprised and puzzled for a while.

Gao Mingcheng told him about the importance of the strength of the bee colony, so he felt that it was a pity that the bees were injured in a fight.

Gao Mingcheng looked at the place where he was pointing, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Didn't you see that the two bees that were driven away were relatively large?" Look closely, there's one thing missing from them! These two drones should have just mated with the queen bee, and their sex and organs remained in the queen bee's body, and when the sex and organs were broken, the internal organs were also taken out, so they didn't live long. ”

"Bee colonies are intelligent, and they will chase out sick bees so that they can keep the colony healthy."

"But you also have to be aware that if there are a lot of bees fighting, then it may be splitting. So when the new queen bee grows, it should be sorted in time. By the way, I'll find a carpenter to build a few beehives for later, and you'll see when the time comes. ”

Gao Mingcheng decided to buy some more beehives and come back.

I used to do everything by myself, but I couldn't be busy, but now I have asked Chen Duofu to manage the beehive, so I can raise more.

Gaojia Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and behind the small hills near the village, there are more vast mountains, so raise more bees and don't worry about the source of honey.

Chen Duofu had no objection and listened carefully to the skills taught by Gao Mingcheng.

After Gao Mingcheng checked the honeycomb spleen, he found that the honey inside was indeed brewed, and the color and luster were very good, so he nodded and said: "In this case, the honey can almost be shaken out." If you can't grasp it, then simply shake the honey a few days later, otherwise the new honey will have a lot of moisture and will not be easy to preserve. ”

Chen Duofu nodded again and again, indicating that he remembered.

"Let's go, go back and get the honey shaker." Gao Mingcheng led Chen Duofu back to his house at the foot of Niuweiling Mountain.

He had a lot of farm tools here, so in order to make it easier for Chen Dasong and them to use, the keys to the courtyard gate and the hall were given to them.

Only the bedroom where Gao Mingcheng and many beauties lived was locked with a new lock.

But in this family, there is nothing valuable.

After taking the honey shaker, I returned to the mountain again.

Gao Mingcheng first taught Chen Duofu how to shake honey, and when Chen Duofu said that he had learned, Gao Mingcheng asked Chen Duofu to do it.

He stood by and stared at it for a while, and found that Chen Duofu had indeed learned.

So he said: "When there is more honey in the honey shaker, you can take it home, pour the honey into the clay pot to precipitate, and then continue to go into the mountain to shake the honey." Remember, be sure to cover the pot with clean gauze, otherwise bugs will get in. ”

"When the precipitation is ready, pour the upper honey into the bottle with a funnel, and the remaining slag is filtered with clean gauze before collecting."

"Hey. I remembered. Chen Duofu said.

Gao Mingcheng finished explaining the matter and left.

He drove his own tractor to the cooperative in Junling.

Pesticides and urea are sold here.

In addition to buying these things, he bought some snacks, and since he had returned to the village, he would stay for one night before leaving.

Back in Xiaofushan, Gao Mingcheng took out the agricultural tools for spraying, and after configuring the pesticides and water in a certain proportion, he went with Chen Dasong to deal with the insect-bearing fruit trees.

Scale insects are a very common insect pest, which can easily appear every spring when the temperature rises.

If the fruit tree has scale insects and is not managed, then the leaves will be densely packed with white bugs, which will make the leaves yellow and die, and the fruit will rot and rot.

However, because it was discovered early, there are not many insect pests on these grapefruit trees, and they only need to be sprayed in time, which should not affect the hanging fruits later.

However, this year's grapefruit trees are still small and may not bear fruit.

In terms of doing farm work, Chen Dasong is better than Gao Mingcheng, so Chen Dasong is the one who takes the medicine.

Not only the trees that had insects were sprayed, but also the nearby trees were sprayed. Because after the scale insects become adults, they will fly to nearby trees to lay eggs, and these eggs that are difficult to see with the naked eye must also be killed.

The days of returning to the village are so unpretentious, in addition to working, they still work, but there are quite a lot of tricks in farm work, such as turning the soil, hoeing, fertilizing, and spraying.
