After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 166 The Perfect Insecticide
When Gu Jingcheng and Wan Fuzi came out of the yamen, it was dusk again.

The matter of pests is now hanging high in the hearts of each of them.

He was afraid that Su Xiaomu would be anxious at home alone, so after saying goodbye to Master Wan, he immediately went home to find her.

Just now, the county magistrate made it clear that once the matter of the pest infestation is confirmed, it will be known that the eggs will be locusts when they grow up.

According to the historical records of Guochao, the last large-scale outbreak of locusts in Guochao was decades ago, and the locusts that time were also fierce, causing a lot of harm and loss to the entire country.

That crisis was deeply engraved in the hearts of these old people from the country, and now they still feel terrified when they think about it.

If the locust crisis started from Fucheng, it would really kill the county magistrate!

The three of them were anxious in their own way, but the moment Gu Jingcheng entered the courtyard and saw Su Xiaomu, he felt that his whole body was comforted.

Su Xiaomu moved the table and chairs under the grape arbor. She put all the traditional Chinese medicines she bought on the table, and kept adjusting the formula according to the prescriptions in her memory.

Su Xiaomu's hand was stained with a lot of green concoction, she felt that her forehead was a little itchy at the moment, she raised her hand to scratch her head, but when she saw the green color of that hand, she withdrew her hand in embarrassment.

But as soon as he withdrew his hand, he saw Gu Jingcheng who was standing at the door and didn't come in.

At this moment, Su Xiaomu's eyes lit up. Without any hesitation, she directly put the green concoction on her apron, and ran towards him bouncingly.

"Gu Jingcheng!" Su Xiaomu called him crisply, "How did your discussion with them go? Did the magistrate believe what I said?"

She studied it all afternoon, and felt that she had almost found the touch.

It is estimated that in an hour or two at most, she will be able to research the insecticide.

At any rate, Su Xiaomu was very happy when he saw a little light of dawn.

"I have sent people to investigate, but the magistrate of the county has no solution to deal with the eggs. I read a lot of history books today, and I also summoned a farmer privately. He said that there is no way to completely kill the locusts. No expulsion."

When Gu Jingcheng saw Su Xiaomu running towards him, a trace of sweetness and joy filled his heart, but when he thought of the urgent situation at the moment, he immediately suppressed the sweetness and joy in his heart.

After turning his gaze over her, he looked at the herbs on the table.

"how?"

"The research is almost over. I just asked Aunt Zhao to cook later. Let's eat first and discuss this matter after we finish eating."

Su Xiaomu is very sure about this insecticide now, and her mood is much better, and she is no longer as heavy as before.

"However, you have nothing to do, so you can help me. Just wait for my research to be successful, and we will go to the experiment together. After everything is confirmed, you will take the prescription to the county magistrate."

Su Xiaomu has never been a person who wants to be famous. Once this insecticide is made, it will only have Gu Jingcheng's name written on it.

"But you made this one." Gu Jingcheng didn't quite agree with what she said, and rejected Su Xiaomu without any hesitation.

Gu Jingcheng looked at Su Xiaomu with extremely serious eyes, and his black eyes were full of sincerity: "What is yours is yours, and it is your contribution to the people of Fucheng. They should know it, not to crown mine. Name, add... color to my imperial examination."

"You know I don't care, not to mention that husband and wife are one."

Su Xiaomu didn't really want to get to the bottom of this issue with him, so he beckoned to let this topic go first, and then dragged him to make insecticide.

Gu Jingcheng was still a little unhappy because the topic was terminated, but he couldn't get angry again when she led him by the hand and walked into the yard.

With a helpless expression on Gu Jingcheng's face, he and she arranged herbs on the table for a long time, and finally when Aunt Zhao put the last dish on the table, the first bottle of insecticide was made!

"I think we succeeded!"

Su Xiaomu felt her brain itching even more now, but now the potion in her hand was a symbol of happiness, she stretched out her hand to scratch her forehead without any scruples, leaving a lump of green on her forehead.

Seeing her like this, Gu Jingcheng couldn't help laughing out loud, he said: "Is it because you don't have any scruples?"

"No, not at all!"

Su Xiaomu himself said it with a smile.

The two of them wolfed down the meal, and then found a nearby farmland to dig up the soil.

Interesting to say, this farm is in the city, quite close to their small courtyard.

This time it was Gu Jingcheng who dug the soil, and Su Xiaomu squatted behind him to look at the soil dug out.

Sure enough, there were more insect eggs here than in the farm.

But it's normal, because livestock are not allowed in the city, and the farms are on the outskirts of the city, and the free-range chickens and ducks can eat a lot of eggs in the fields.

To a certain extent, chickens and ducks resolved certain crises.

But after all, it is a drop in the bucket, and there is not much use left and right.

Su Xiaomu poured the insecticide into the soil. Holding a small hoe in her hand, she mixed the potion and the soil evenly. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, she opened the pictures to check the condition of the eggs.

Sure enough, the medicine they prepared was very effective, but within a quarter of an hour, most of the eggs were dead.

After repeating this, Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng found another field full of crops and sprayed the potion on the leaves of the crops.

Because it is a traditional Chinese medicine, although the medicine is strong, it will not cause any harm to the crops, but this time it takes a long time, almost an hour, before the insect eggs attached to the leaves of the crops fall.

After all the experiments were successful, Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning home, the two of them dared not touch the things in the house casually, because they had ordered Aunt Zhao to boil two pots of hot water before leaving, and there was always charcoal fire in the stove, so the water was still hot at the moment.

Each of them took a room, took a comfortable bath, and finally had time to sit in the yard and watch the moon comfortably.

"I am now... the big rock that has been hanging in my heart has finally fallen. You don't know that when I just found those bugs today, I was completely scared. I was really afraid that the locusts would come and everyone would be displaced. "

Su Xiaomu closed her eyes and let her whole body relax.

It is said that after a catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe. If the locust plague really breaks out in Fucheng, then the arrival of the plague is just around the corner.

Su Xiaomu knows some simple medical theories, but it is only limited to minor illnesses and pains.

She is not the kind of powerful time-traveling girl, and there are no cheats for her in this era.

At that time, under the double attack of the locust plague and the plague, she might lose her life.
