Chapter 43 Watch me use modern pesticides to treat rice blast (please vote for me)

After sending away the matchmaker, the crowd basically dispersed.

A few more curious people asked: "Aunt Su, why are you carrying so many gourds on your shoulders?"

Seeing someone asking, Su Qingqing didn't hide it and said directly: "I went back to the mountain to get some elixirs refined by the master. There are special medicines in them to deal with rice blast."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar!

"Aunt Su, you mean you can cure rice blast?" Someone shouted out impatiently.

The rice blast in Chenjia Village next door is causing quite a stir, and several rice fields have been damaged.

What’s even more frightening is that now the rice seedlings in the village have begun to have rust scars. This is a characteristic of rice blast!

Rice is the lifeblood of farmers, and they rely on it to eat and pay taxes!It is sick, which is more disturbing than a human being being sick!
One can imagine how much of a sensation Su Qing Qingyun's gentle words could cause in this rural village.

"Go tell the village chief and come to the clan leader!"

Some people had already shouted, and some people had already turned around and ran quickly, going directly to find Chief Tamura.

Mrs. Zhang pulled Su Qingqing and asked in a low voice: "Sister Su, this is an important matter. This is not a joke. Can you really cure rice blast?"

Su Qingqing said: "I brought the medicine anyway. Master has used this to treat rice blast before. We will know if it works or not."

Soon, Village Chief Tian rushed over. Before anyone arrived, he called out: "Ms. Su, do you really have the medicine to cure rice blast?"

Su Qingqing looked up at Village Chief Tian who was walking towards him in a hurry, and gave an affirmative reply: "Yes."

"Let's go quickly. Let's go to Tian Youliang's field to try. Their seedlings have begun to wither." Village Chief Tian made a decisive decision, "Ms. Su, you can treat it safely and boldly. If you need anything, just ask for it."

If it doesn't work, you can tell it by just trying it.

Anyway, now we are treating a dead horse as a live doctor. The seedlings themselves have begun to show rust spots and are about to wither. We are not afraid of more serious consequences.

Su Qingqing didn't shirk the blame. Originally, she traveled through time and space twice just to cure the rice blast.

This matter is not simply out of kindness. If it is done, it will obviously increase her influence in the countryside and lay the foundation for her future stability in this small fishing village.

Immediately, he put the three small gourds containing daily medicines tied with green ropes into Zhang's house, and then took down several large gourds containing pesticides tied with red ropes.

To Tamura Chief: "I need a pot for spraying pesticides, preferably a flower-watering showerhead."

Not every household has this kind of irrigation tool, but Tamura's family happened to have it, so he immediately sent someone to get it from his house.

Su Qingqing began to remove the cork from the gourd and mix the pesticide into the water in proportion in front of everyone.

Tricyclazole and rice blastin are necessary to treat rice blast. Now that we have started to use pesticides, we might as well add the pesticide Arika.

After mixing, Su Qingqing raised her head and said to Village Chief Tian: "Village Chief, although pesticides can cure rice blast, they are highly toxic to the human body. Since this product has been used to spray pesticides, it is best not to use it for other purposes."

It's medicine that's three parts poison. Chief Tamura nodded to express his understanding.

Su Qingqing then got up and carried a pot filled with pesticide water to the disaster-stricken farmland of Tian Youliang's family.

In fact, the job of applying pesticides seems simple, but it also requires some skills.

The first step of diluting pesticides is very important. In modern times, Su Qingqing had already poured the amount into a measuring cup and had a basic idea.In the second step, the time for applying pesticides is also important. Generally, it is either eight o'clock in the morning or three o'clock in the evening. These two time periods are the best for applying pesticides, both of which have been scientifically summarized.

Of course, you should also be optimistic about the weather when applying pesticides. Don’t encounter rain right after applying pesticides.When the pesticide is diluted by rainwater, it will no longer be effective.

When applying pesticides, pay attention to the wind outlet.People cannot stand downwind, otherwise the pesticides will be sprinkled on their bodies and penetrate into their bodies through their skin, which will cause poisoning.

In ancient times, there were also rain boots, which were divided into two types, one was clogs and the other was leather boots.

For pesticide application, it is of course better to wear leather boots. After all, clogs expose your feet to the outside.

Su Qingqing had already planned to buy pesticides from Hyundai, so Datang's leather boots were naturally prepared.

She didn't go to the market to buy it herself, but she asked the elder man from Uncle Tian Qi's family in the village to help in exchange for it.

He would go out every time for temple fairs and large gatherings, small gatherings, and grass markets. If there was anything to buy in the village, he would usually be asked for help.

At this time, Su Qingqing stepped on her leather boots and went to the fields, making the surrounding villagers feel distressed.

In the entire small fishing village, Su Qingqing was the first to use leather boots to make rain boots, while everyone else wore wooden clogs.

"You all get out of the way, and be careful not to stand downwind. Pesticides are poisonous and will cause poisoning if you spill them on your body." Su Qingqing waved her hand and asked the people gathered around the field ridge to spread out.

When everyone heard that it was poisonous, they immediately backed away without saying anything.

Then Su Qingqing started spraying pesticides. After Tian Youliang's family sprayed pesticides, she also sprayed pesticides on other houses nearby.

At first, those families were worried. Their crops had not been infected by rice blast yet, so why were they sprayed with toxic pesticides?

In fact, everyone felt a little panicked when they heard that pesticides were poisonous.Even if the seedlings that have been treated with toxic pesticides are saved, can they still be eaten?

After Su Qingqing finished spraying pesticides in these fields, she hurried back to Zhang's house to take a shower and change clothes.

Mrs. Zhang had already heated the hot water for her and was waiting for her to come back and wash herself.

Just now, Su Qingqing mentioned repeatedly that pesticides are poisonous. As a herb collector, Zhang naturally knows what to do, without Su Qingqing having to tell her.

While Su Qingqing was taking a bath, Zhang helped her wash her clothes with plant ash.

In the countryside of the Tang Dynasty, the cleaning products of the middle and lower poor peasants mostly consisted of rice water and plant ash. Occasionally, they would buy some soap locust, but they would not use it more than once.

As for the bath beans made from various Chinese medicines and pig pancreas, although they are very effective, they are obviously not affordable for ordinary people, let alone this remote fishing village.

Su Qingqing now only uses clean water for bathing. The next thing she desperately wants to do is to make home-made toothpaste and soap.

She knows how to make traditional toothpaste, and the method of soap has been researched in modern times and is waiting to be implemented.

This is also necessary to improve the quality of life and should not be delayed.

After taking a shower and putting on dry new clothes, Su Qingqing pulled out the void panel to check the sun value.

Good guy, it only took an hour at most to apply pesticides, but the sun value increased by a full eighteen points. This is an efficiency of nine points in one hour, which is faster than ever before!
Does this mean that pesticide application is more efficient than other forms of labor?
Without any further hesitation, Su Qingqing immediately decided to help Chenjia Village spray pesticides in the afternoon. It was a win-win situation.

The more sun the better for her, making it easier for her to travel back and forth.
