Chapter 154 Insect Killing Methods

Tang Shenyuan told Professor Wu Shengming about the situation in the vegetable shed on the phone. After pondering for a few minutes, he said:
"You can't use pesticides, in fact, there are many ways to kill insects..."

Listen, this is how knowledgeable and cultured people talk. When you are at a loss what to do, there are many ways for people to speak. You have to admire them!
"Is there any way?" Tang Shenyuan asked.

"I have five methods here..."

Exam, there are five methods, but I don't have any method.Tang Shenyuan smiled wryly in his heart, and thought of asking the old professor for advice.

"The first method is the leaf insecticide method! This method is simple and easy, that is, smash 1 kg of fresh neem leaves or Ailanthus leaves, add the same amount of water to soak for one day, filter to remove residue, add 50 kg of water to spray, and can prevent and control insect pests. Cabbage caterpillars, aphids, etc.; the second method is to use vegetables to kill insects, use 50 grams each of onion, garlic, and pepper, wet and mash them, wrap them in gauze, soak them in 15 kg of water for 24 hours, and spray them with leaching liquid. Effective control of aphids, spider mites...the fifth is the 'sugar-coated cannonball' method..."

"Oh? Sugar-coated cannonballs?" Tang Shenyuan was also surprised to hear this idiom, and couldn't help laughing.

Over there, Professor Wu continued: "Use 'sugar-coated shells' to trap and kill insects. Take 0 kg of brown sugar, 5 kg of vinegar, add 1 kg of water, mix and stir, then add an appropriate amount of insecticide, divide the pots and place them in the vegetable field. , it is extremely attractive to adult insects such as cabbage caterpillar, and can reduce the harm of its larvae..."

"Ah? Do you still need to use pesticides?" Tang Shenyuan said, "This is no good, you can't use pesticides!"

"Actually, a small amount of insecticide will not do any harm..."

"Let's forget it. What we want are absolutely natural and pollution-free green vegetables. We must not use pesticides, otherwise it will affect our reputation..." Tang Shenyuan said very firmly, this is what he must insist on, otherwise If you don’t do it, then do your best!

"Well, you are right!" Professor Wu said after pondering for a while.

He agrees with Tang Shenyuan very much. Although he knows that it is okay to use pesticides properly, but if you use them once, you will easily become dependent, and there will be a second or third time... From now on, the vegetables in Honghe Village will not be green vegetables. up!
He said: "Since this is the case, there are only two ways left now..."

"Aren't there three other ways?" Tang Shenyuan made sure that he remembered correctly, so he said this.

"There are two methods, that is, the first method is to use fresh neem leaves or Ailanthus leaves to kill insects, and the second method is to use vegetables to kill insects!"

"The third method, can't you use baking soda? Shouldn't the leaves be poisonous?"

In Tang Shenyuan's impression, baking soda is not poisonous, who hasn't drunk soda?Why can't it be used?
Professor Wu over there laughed when he heard Tang Shenyuan's words, "Baking soda is very suitable for food and industrial use. Of course, the food is not poisonous, and the baking soda for industrial use is low-toxic. Although the neem leaves are poisonous, But it is a natural toxin and not strong, it will be decomposed soon, it will not cause harm to the human body, and the neem tree can also be used as medicine!"

"Hehe, since the professor said to use these two methods, let's use these two methods!" Tang Shenyuan didn't know much about this kind of thing. Professor Wu is a professional, and his opinion is the most important. "Then I'm going to prepare something to kill insects now..."

"Wait, are you ready for what I told you before?"

"What? What's the matter?" Tang Shenyuan was puzzled.

Wu Shengming over there suddenly smiled wryly, and said: "It seems that you have forgotten, well, it is the matter of cultivating food seeds!"

"Oh, so it's this one, I've already started to prepare..." Tang Shenyuan opened his eyes and said nonsense.

He can't let the old professor think that he is not doing his job wholeheartedly, otherwise he will definitely teach him a lesson when he comes to Honghe Village in the future!
"Well, we have to hurry up on this matter. It's November now. It's best to take care of everything now, and we can plant seeds and start cultivating in spring."

"Okay, I wrote it down!" Tang Shenyuan felt bitter for a while, why was he so busy?

……

"Brother Asheng, will this work?"

Oolong watched Tang Guang'an carrying a sprayer on his back and spraying the vegetables with water mixed with green onion, garlic and pepper. Although the smell made him want to vomit, he didn't know whether it would work for the bugs. "This concept?
"Yeah, if you can kill insects with onions, garlic and peppers, wouldn't it be a loss for those who buy pesticides?" Oolong's father said.

In his impression, except for the pesticides produced by science and technology, which are more effective against insects, other local methods are useless.

Tang's father and Tang's mother didn't have so many worries, because they knew that this method was taught by Professor Wu Shengming, and it should work. He is a teacher in a university, so he knows a lot. Can the method he gave not work?
"If you want me to say, it's better to use the water soaked in neem leaves first..." Uncle Tang Qinghe said.

Tang Shenyuan nodded and said, "I want to fight both. Neem leaf water can kill insects, and green onion, garlic and pepper water can control insects. It is a two-pronged approach. Even the leaders said 'grasp with both hands'!"

Tang Qinghua was also there, and he was very concerned about this pest infestation, because he knew that the success of the greenhouse vegetable project meant that he could ensure his leadership of Honghe Village. This project was proposed by Tang Shenyuan, and he supported Tang Shenyuan Yes, and if Tang Shenyuan failed, it also meant that he also failed.

Because of Tang Shenyuan's success and the pies he painted, the people of Honghe Village were full of longing for the future, so they were willing to follow them. Even the people on the side of the village head let go of their prejudices and accepted their orders.If the project fails, not only the people on the village head's side will blame them, but even the people on their own side will blame them. Then they will definitely fall to Tang Haijun's side.

……

"What are they doing?"

"What are you spraying with a plastic bag on your back?"

"Damn, you don't even know the sprayer, and you still have the plastic bag hahaha, you are so funny!"

"Sprayers? Are they spraying pesticides?"

The tourists reacted and were very angry.

"Isn't it the promised green vegetables? Why are you still spraying pesticides?"

"Hey, are there still few people in society who say one thing and do another?"

"So we were fooled. Vegetables that cost tens of yuan a catty, can such vegetables be worth 50 yuan? I can sell more than ten catties for 50 yuan at the vegetable market..."

"Go, go over and ask Tang Shenyuan for clarification..."

Tourists come here because they heard that Honghe Village has beautiful scenery and delicious food. These days, many tourists have tried green vegetables and found that they are indeed delicious, much more delicious than ordinary vegetables.After eating it, I don’t want to eat other vegetables. Many people would buy a few catties and take them home before leaving, just to let their family members eat delicious vegetables, but now... they found that they were actually applying pesticides to vegetables , which makes tourists feel cheated.

Fortunately, Tang Shenyuan, the "Brother Tang", has a pretty good reputation on the Internet, so although the tourists were angry, they didn't smash it directly, but chose to ask him to understand!
"Hey, there are a lot of people coming over there, who are they?" Oolong was the first to notice the tourists.

Tang Shenyuan and the others were blamed, and they also found out that there were a lot of angry tourists. Tang Shenyuan hurried over to receive the tourists. He had been away for more than half a month, and now these tourists were basically unfamiliar faces.

"Hi everyone, come out to play so late!"

Now that the sun is setting, most people will go home to cook, but it is the best time for tourists to play, isn't there a poem that says so. "The setting sun is infinitely good, but it's almost dusk."How timid it is to go out for a walk at dusk, especially in such a beautiful place as Honghe Village.

But as soon as Tang Shenyuan said this, some impatient tourists rushed to say:

"If you don't come out now, you don't know that you use pesticides on vegetables..."

"Yes, it is! Don't think that you want to take advantage of the dusk when there are few people, and no one will see the pesticides on the vegetables..."

"You are deceiving us. It is in vain that we come to play with you so enthusiastically. The vegetables we eat are made from pesticides...the price is so high!"

"Liar!" "Unscrupulous merchants!" "..."

Hearing what the tourists said, Tang Shenyuan was startled, but the other villagers panicked. They knew it wasn't pesticide use, but they didn't know what to do in the face of a group of angry tourists.These tourists are the God of Wealth who brought wealth to Honghe Village, so don't offend them!

"Hahaha……"

At this time, Tang Shenyuan laughed, which was so unexpected that the tourists were all dumbfounded.

It was the same tourist who said just now: "What are you laughing at? Did we hurt your sore spots and become angry? Don't think that we are afraid of you, believe it or not, we will expose you on the Internet!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the other tourists lit up, and they responded with words:

"Yes, this kind of people should be exposed, otherwise more people will be deceived!"

"Ordinary vegetables are sold as green vegetables. This is price cheating. You can call the police..."

"I will never come to Honghe Village again. My classmate said he wanted to come here to play. When I got back, I told him not to come again. Fortunately, there is such a beautiful scenery here, but there are a bunch of black-hearted people..."

This is a bit embarrassing. If Tang Shenyuan glanced at the villagers and their eyes were a little red when they heard this, he knew that things would get worse if he didn't explain it.Tang Shenyuan stopped Oolong from talking back.Quarreling is the specialty of many rural people, who hasn't quarreled before?Not to mention a group of tourists talking nonsense without knowing it, even if they take advantage of it, they will be scolded and don't know who their mother is.

Tang Shenyuan stretched out his hand to suppress the commotion of the tourists and villagers, and said firmly, "We didn't apply pesticides..."

"You think we are blind, the sprayer is still on your back, and you are talking nonsense with your eyes open..."

"Hehe, sometimes what you see with your own eyes may not be true..."

"Seeing is believing, hearing is believing!" said a tourist. "We all saw it with our own eyes, do you still want to deny it?"

The tourists agreed with the tourist's words very much, and they all spoke in agreement:
"Yes! Don't let them fool you..."
