Villager of Daming

Chapter 933 Pesticide spraying cave dwelling replacement

People don't think about the big picture, they just do their own things well.

In every group, there are always people who are willing to lead others and find ways to make others listen to them.

More people have their own little thoughts, but they want to listen to others, especially if they can't do it themselves, they can follow the crowd.

The method usually used to select a village head is for a local wealthy family to prove that they can run a business and are at least literate and able to do arithmetic.

Now that the princes have come over, the common people have found their backbone, happily eating fried noodles and thinking about what work they will do later.

The harvest season suddenly arrived for the people, and their muscles were tired from continuous high-intensity work.

It's just that they can bear it and think everything is normal, which year isn't this the case? Don’t be afraid of being tired, have a good harvest, don’t be hungry, and live happily.

We have almost done all the work at home, and the yard is neatly tidied up, so we can’t eat for free! It is sinful to eat without working, especially if you eat so much.

Three meals a day, the meals must be transformed into something.

The craftsmen who followed here made a lot of net bags for catching grasshoppers. They were made of twine and had holes, as long as the grasshoppers couldn't get out.

It’s more economical than using other cloths, so what else can you use the cloth for? Pure waste.

In addition, a pump was made, and an atomizing device was added to the front, which is a densely packed small hole.

The plant ash soaked yesterday afternoon was mixed with lime water. Today it will be used by the people to spray the vegetable fields. It usually rains after the wheat harvest.

Once it rains, bugs will appear on the leaves of the vegetables. Now spray it to promote growth. If there are residues on the leaves, the bugs will not be able to grow.

The two kinds of water can kill insects when used alone. When mixed together, calcium hydroxide and potassium carbonate form calcium carbonate and potassium hydroxide, which can still kill insects.

Potassium hydroxide is a strong base. The body fluids of many insects, including mosquitoes, are acidic. Generally, the medicine sprayed after being bitten by mosquitoes is alkaline. What mosquitoes inject into the human body needs an acidic environment. If an alkali is added, it will be given to the body. And.

If it is just to kill insects, you can also add salt and sugar. They can dehydrate the insects and dehydrate the plants by the way, so there is no need to plant vegetables.

Mix the two things in water and spray the water on the vegetables. The precipitated calcium carbonate can be used to feed livestock and poultry, eliminating the need for them to find stones to eat.

Some pigs are deficient in calcium. If the pig pens are built with bricks, the pigs will eat them.

Some dogs who have gallstones are willing to eat grass and find ways to alleviate their symptoms. Especially for local dogs, their owners will not take special care of them. The dogs need to survive on their own.

Naturally, artificial breeding must consider what the animals being raised need, so that the animals can grow healthily, work well, and eat meat.

The sergeants rarely teach theories to the people. They only tell them how to deal with any situation they encounter. When the people are literate, they will teach it in newspapers in the future. It will be easier for the people to accept it after they read the newspapers themselves.

The people finished eating one after another and went about their work as arranged. This work was not done for others, but was done for themselves by following orders.

Start setting fire over there. After harvesting the wheat, finish gleaning the wheat ears, put the chickens and ducks in, and then burn it. Leave a little wheat straw in it, otherwise there will be no fire.

After burning, apply basal fertilizer and mechanically plow. The purpose of burning is to kill insects and eliminate bacteria.

Local cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, etc. were gathered together and assigned to locations inconvenient for mechanical equipment to plow there. At the same time, the wheat there was harvested manually.

The guards helped and went hunting in the mountains. There were wolves killing wolves and poisonous snakes being caught.

There are also many scorpions and small geckos here. Just like this around the Taihang Mountains, including Hebei, you can see scorpions and webless geckos at any time.

The scorpions in these geographical locations do not need to be specially raised artificially. They can be caught one by one using tools made by craftsmen that are like picking up garbage.

Otherwise, children would take action and directly pinch the scorpion's tail. Once pinched, the sting would hurt for several days.

To avoid being stung, use new tools and try to catch the big ones, and you will have the medicinal materials. So in addition to catching grasshoppers, the children also had to find scorpions. They were first rewarded with a few pieces of sausage made from pig intestines.

For lunch, I had blood sausage made with the sauerkraut brought by the team, plus sausage. The storage time is so short, and the blood sausage always needs to be soaked in water.

"So sausage is better. At least it can be stored for a long time. This sausage is very fragrant. It can be stored for up to two days after being made. If you don't eat it, it will start to get sticky inside."

Zhu Fan was eating sausage slices, pig intestine casings, and an extra stuffed bamboo fungus. The bamboo fungus was filled with pork and mushrooms, steamed and poured with juice.

The officials are also eating, and it tastes delicious. Every dish is delicious.

They were actually quite confused and didn't know how to evaluate the princes.

Call the princes extravagant! They only have two more dishes, not counting cucumbers and eggplants, so the people won’t lose much, it’s just the difference between small and big!

Let’s just say it’s not luxurious! This dish is so delicious. How do you make it? It doesn’t look complicated. If you eat it every day, you are guaranteed to gain weight. Now you are too thin.

Wang Shitong ate another bamboo fungus and looked up at Zhu Fan: "Your Highness, in the first two months, the local people dug bamboo fungus in the bamboo forest. They were reluctant to eat it and waited for the department store to collect it. Can they be sold at a higher price?"

He is the magistrate of Taiyuan County. There is moso bamboo here, and the people dig bamboo shoots and collect bamboo fungus. The bamboo fungus cannot be kept long, so they all eat it.

Bamboo shoots cannot be dried and no one wants them. After the dried ones are soaked, they lose their fresh taste, just like firewood.

However, bamboo fungus can be dried in the sun. This one is good after soaking, similar to other mushrooms.

After Zhu Fan heard what the other party said, he was stunned for a few seconds and asked: "The sergeants didn't tell you about the bamboo fungus? The merchants didn't mention it either?"

Local officials shook their heads one after another and said nothing. What do you mean? What can be said about Dictyophora?

Zhu Fan understood: "Uh-huh! The bamboo fungus we eat today is not found in the bamboo forest, it is grown. If there is a large area of ​​one kind, how many are there in the bamboo forest? It is not enough to eat.

What we eat is grown in large fields, and we can’t eat it all, so we sell it all. It’s like growing crops, there are a lot of them.

There are also white fungus, fungus, enoki mushroom, gray mushroom, monkey head mushroom, group mushroom...

We ask you to find caves just for planting things. In a natural environment, you can plant a large number of things with a little repair. "

After Zhu Fan finished speaking, he looked at the officials. As expected, they were stunned.

"Your Highness, is it the cutting method? The kind that grows mushrooms?" Magistrate Guo thought of a technique that existed in the Song Dynasty.

"No!" Zhu Fan shook his head: "That kind of thing is too troublesome. If I harvest the wild ones, I will give you a good price. It depends on the quality. Not all wild ones are better than artificially grown ones."

He did not forget that the wild taste and taste are better, and most people can't tell the difference unless they have eaten it.

In the future, artificial food will become larger in scale, cheaper, and ordinary people can afford it.

After he said this, the officials continued to eat bamboo fungus stuffed rice, trying to tell the difference.

After finishing the meal, everyone looked at each other and felt that it was the same as the wild ones they had eaten before!

"Can't you eat it? Because the ones we brought are all carefully selected, with thicker walls and meaty ones.

In fact, there are fewer wild ones. Even if the content of some things is higher, if you eat the cultivated ones every day, they will definitely be better than the wild ones.

I think the cave dwellings here are suitable for planting. After the brick house is built, we can replace it with cave dwellings and grow fungi there. "

Zhu Fan knew how everyone felt after tasting it, so he decided to solve the problem of using abandoned cave dwellings in the future.

　No more today
