This is a small episode.
Chen Ling didn't take it seriously.
I only know that the family spent money to book a room at the farm, but they never stayed.
This is one's freedom, he didn't think much about anything else.
I can’t think of anything else.
These two days have really come back.
He no longer needs his uncle and brother to cook, and cooks by himself every day.
Give the little girl some food.
The little kids in the village and their close relatives also got lucky.
Such as rotten pork noodles and braised pork noodles, these are all specialties of Lao Bei'an. The taste is heavy and has northern characteristics. Most local mountain people also like this bite after eating it.
There are also fried quail, stir-fried snails, pork belly and chicken. If you make too much, you will be given a large pot to several people in the village to share.
In the countryside, courtesy is the most direct and simple.
Chen Ling sent him some food at noon, and each family brought him baskets of early corn, peanuts, and yam beans in the evening.
Incredibly enthusiastic.
The village has been very busy recently, with a lot of tourists, many of whom are here for the first time, and almost all of them are city dwellers who have no experience in rural life. They are very fun, but there is nothing to do. I don’t understand, I don’t care whether it’s dangerous or not, I just care about having fun.
This requires people to care and remind everyone... But after the villagers earn this money, they will definitely work hard and not be impatient.
Just a little tired.
After all, in addition to this, in this season, the villagers are also busy planting winter vegetables, spraying medicine and so on.
For example, at Wang Lixian’s house, he was busy doing various things in the greenhouse.
You also need to fertilize when growing vegetables in a greenhouse.
The dung on his house was quail dung from Chen Ling's family.
Now that the fertilization is done, the ground needs to be plowed. After plowing the ground, we have to fight in the greenhouse. The big holes dug by the pigs and badgers last year also need to be repaired.
It doesn’t look like there’s much work, right?
But once you start working, you may not be able to finish it after half a month of work.
After all, I only have so much to do at home, so I don’t think I’ll find anyone to help me.
In this way, I only clean up by myself when I have free time.
In the end, it works slowly.
Su Su's body is getting heavier and heavier. While Chen Ling is cooking delicious food for her sister-in-law, she often spends half a day in the kitchen making some of Su Su's favorite foods.
Like pig's trotters, duck necks, chicken feet, beef tendons...
She doesn't like to eat serious meat, but likes to eat this kind of thing.
Chen Ling only liked her and would often make a big pot.
That’s right. Among these ingredients, pig’s trotters and beef tendons are easy to buy, and they are also very cheap.
Duck necks and chicken feet are hard to find in the countryside these days. There aren’t that many.
Chen Ling asked the little sheep to bring it back from the city slaughterhouse.
I packed ice packs along the way to keep things fresh.
As for the statement that pregnant women are not suitable for eating greasy and heavy food, Chen Ling and his family don't care.
Gao Xiulan was a bit tongue-tied at first, but later on, seeing her son-in-law nourishing her daughter's body with various goat milk and eggs all day long, she felt that there would be no problem.
Emotional happiness is more important than anything else.
Many women are psychologically sensitive during pregnancy, and the trivial things accumulated in their daily lives can cause their mood to remain depressed, which can be very dangerous.
These days, the old turtle has not appeared again, and the tourists from outside seem to have gradually forgotten this matter, and are gradually attracted by the beautiful mountains and waters near Chenwangzhuang.
When traveling in the mountains and rivers, their lively figures are seen on the reservoir, and their cheerful laughter is heard on the mountains.
Fishing and swimming, chasing monkeys and small animals in the mountains and forests, climbing trees to catch birds, I was happy every day.
There is nothing wrong with that.
Not only did the villagers increase their income, but even the wild animals and monkeys that ran diligently to the crop fields no longer dared to go down the mountain easily.
And they hardly stay in the village except during meal time.
The village is relatively clean.
Now that she has time and peace, Chen Ling also tidies up her home, repairs mud walls, ties up thatch piles, and sprays medicine on the vegetable garden.
The crops and vegetables he grows are very disease-resistant.
But if you don’t care, it will attract a lot of bugs to bite you.
This is also a very helpless thing.
When it comes to resistance to pests and diseases, the pests mentioned here are some aphids or microbial pests and diseases.
For example, after the seedlings grow up, they will attract crickets, snails, mole crickets, caterpillars... these things will not work.
They are good at causing harm to vegetables.
Some bite the leaves, some eat the roots, and some drill into them.
Pesticides work.
The medicine prepared by Chen Ling can wipe it all away.
But after a while, there will be many more running from the corn fields and the grass at the foot of the mountain and river.
It is useless to eat birds and small animals, they will be beaten endlessly.
Of course, Chen Ling didn’t expect to eliminate them all.
“Oh, there are so many bugs that I can’t control them for even a week and they start making nests again.”
Chen Ling wore a straw hat and walked into the large vegetable garden on the farm. Crickets and grasshoppers were popping out in the grass.
It sounds like the sound of raindrops falling on the tiles when it rains.
Big and small, densely packed.
Behind him, a little girl, holding a milk baby, followed him along the ditch, swatting at the grasshoppers and crickets as she walked.
After a while, a large string was pierced with the stems of Setaria spp.
In the large vegetable garden, the shelves are covered with beans. When the evening is cool, small white and purple flowers will bloom and produce long, flat beans.
Behind the beans are cucumbers. Strong and dense vines climb on the shelf. The green leaves overlap and rows of green cucumbers hang below.
The growth is too strong.
Many bean and cucumber vines have grown to the ground, entangled above some weeds, growing wildly.
After the beans and cucumbers, there are eggplants and tomatoes.
It also grows extremely vigorously.
If it weren’t for the support of the shelves, the tomatoes and eggplants would have hung to the ground.
This was a batch of vegetables sold after the flood a while ago, but now they have grown again after a few days.
‘Kaba’
Chen Ling pinched a string bean that was more than one meter long and almost hanging to the ground. It was covered with insect holes.
If you pinch along the insect hole casually, you will see the black, sand-like insect feces inside the beans, with a fat caterpillar squirming inside.
Chen Ling shook his hand, shook it to the ground, and trampled it to death.
The plump caterpillar burst into pulp immediately, which shows how fat it has eaten.
Chen Ling picked a few more lentils.
There are bug eyes on it too.
When I opened it, I could smell the fresh air, and the caterpillars inside were still small.
But there are too many bug eyes and the beans cannot be eaten.
‘At first glance, it looks good and has a lot of knots. However, it turns out that the outside of the golden jade is rotten and the inside is full of bugs. There are five or six large and small bugs on a string bean.
When the beans are old, no seeds are left, only the skin is left.
The cucumber has also been chewed with holes everywhere. What can I do? People can't eat it, but sheep can eat it. ’
Chen Ling sighed slightly in his heart.
I tapped the bamboo stick back and forth on the shelf and shook it a few times. The caterpillars and caterpillars in the leaves and vines also crackled and fell out.
Look carefully, there are several kinds, big and small.
Caterpillars are also black and yellow, with needle-like bristles all over their bodies. When crawling, their backs will arch up and down quickly, and they will crawl onto their feet without noticing, which is very embarrassing. .
This is a bug on beans and cucumbers. Tomatoes and eggplants are similar.
Some of them were eaten by insects or pecked by birds and animals. There were small holes on them and the insides were all broken.
The tomatoes went bad while they were still growing on them.
Bad tomatoes are similar to bad watermelons. When you pick them, you can hear the sound of water sloshing inside, and the smell is very unpleasant.
As for eggplant, it is slightly better.
Overall, tomatoes and eggplants are in better condition.
But if you look carefully, some of these two plants, like cucumbers, have large withered yellow leaves, and more than half of the entire plant can have yellow leaves.
Chen Ling knew that grubs had begun to appear on these roots.
Grubs only eat vegetable roots, but they also eat potatoes and yams.
You can’t tell at first. The cucumbers and tomatoes look fine, but the roots have been bitten.
Over time, the entire plant will wither.
In fact, some cucumbers and eggplants are beginning to wilt now.
Many of them have just grown and are still small. They are a bit dead before they grow to a big size.
"Zhenzhen, go back and get the basket. Pick the good vegetables first. I will have to apply medicine later."
"Okay, let me get the basket. The basket is big and can be filled with Much more.”
Wang Zhenzhen put a bunch of grasshoppers into Rui Rui's hand, "Rui Rui, be good, take it. You stand here and don't move. I'll take the basket. Let's go feed the turtles later."
< br>After saying that, he turned around and ran home.
After a while, he ran over with a big bamboo basket in his arms.
“Brother-in-law, here you go.”
Wang Zhenzhen is not afraid of hard work, and jumped up and said: “Many of these vegetables are bitten by insects. Let me help you pick them, and then feed them back. Sheep.”
"No, you can take Ruirui to play."
Chen Ling waved his hand and let them go, so as not to interfere with his work here.
It would be faster for him to work by himself.
Pick the beans first. In fact, the beans grown by most people also have bugs, but they have fewer bug eyes. It is normal for one or two beans in a large handful to have bugs.
As soon as you soak it in the water, the bugs crawl out and eat them.
The impact is not big.
The Chen Ling family is not good at it. They plant it too well and it attracts bugs too much. There are many bug holes up and down on a string bean, and often only one string of beans in a cluster has bugs, and the rest are basically the same. There are all of them, but this kind of food is inedible.
Much more serious than others.
Chen Ling no longer cares about whether it is good or bad. As long as he finds any obvious signs, he will first pick off a large cluster of beans next to them. The heavy and dense beans are picked off by him with a swipe.
At last glance, there are more than half the basket of bad beans.
Come on, just pour it directly into the sheepfold and let the sheep eat it.
There are fewer good beans left, those that have not been bitten by insects, than bad beans.
Chen Ling didn’t care about so many, and picked them all three times, five times, and two times.
If you can’t finish it, you can’t finish it. You can go back to pickle pickles, or make dried beans and make dumplings in winter.
Cucumbers can be dried in the sun and pickled in pickles.
Eggplants can also be dried.
Tomatoes are fine. They can be cooked or eaten raw. Others give you one for free. No matter how much you have, you can finish them all.
It’s better than being bitten by bugs in the fields.
After a busy day of work, I picked baskets full of vegetables, pulled out the yellowing plants, and fed the bad ones to the sheep.
Although our goats are a little wild, they are very good at dealing with these messy bad fruits and vegetables, and they will never waste them.
It truly proves that sheep eat all kinds of grass.
Chen Ling even wanted to select two lambs and feed them fruits, medicinal materials, etc. to taste the difference in the taste of the meat during the New Year.
Thinking wildly, he went to carry the medicine bucket.
The potion mixed with neem seeds and other things has been brewed in two large vats.
This is an exclusive secret recipe that he figured out by himself. It is as effective in killing insects as pesticides and degrades faster. It is taken from nature, returned to nature, and harmless to the human body.
Chen Ling carried a spray bucket on his back and sprayed the two-acre vegetable garden four or five times.
This is when I went home to rest.
When the sun was about to go down, he took a half-green tomato and gnawed it over to check the situation. He found that the ground and grass blades were full of dead crickets and grasshoppers with their stomachs turned over.
Many green worms and caterpillars have also become sluggish.
People walked over without knowing how to run away. Chen Ling stepped on a piece of large-leaf weeds. Without paying attention, four or five black caterpillars were trampled to death under the grass blades, and the sauce-colored intestines and caterpillars exploded out. Yellow eggs.
"Oh, disgusting."
Chen Ling kicked it away, but he was still very satisfied with the efficacy of the pollution-free pesticides he prepared.
Seeing that the ground was full of pests that had been killed by pesticides.
Even snails fell to the floor under the shaggy vegetable shelves covered with vines.
He then greeted: "Erhei, drive the chickens over here."
Erhei was quite far away at this time, but Chen Ling's order was certainly not unheard, and he immediately rushed up the mountain barking.
After a while, it sounded like a pot was exploding on the mountain.
From far away, I could hear the crow of chickens and the flapping of wings that filled my ears.
Local chickens of various colors flapped their wings and flew down from the mountains. There were hundreds of them, clucking as they flew, and there were also many pheasants mixed in among them. Time flies in the air.
The tourists who came here to play were dumbfounded.
They all stared blankly as Erhei led a few male dogs to drive away the chickens and kill them towards the west.
The chickens are used to being driven by dogs. They run very well wherever the dogs chase them.
After flying down from the mountain, he ran towards the vegetable garden with his thick chicken feet.
"Duh, duh, duh..." The dog was driving away, and Chen Ling was also barking in cooperation, leading him to the vegetable garden.
The chickens instantly had a clear direction.
Chen Ling lightly stepped on the ground with his feet to signal that there were bugs on the ground. When the chickens saw the bugs, they immediately clucked and rushed up one after another, looking for and pecking at them excitedly.
For a while, the vegetable garden was full of chicken heads.
"Boss Chen, you are so awesome. The chickens are trained in such an orderly manner and can go wherever they are told."
Someone came over to watch the fun and couldn't help but marvel.
Everyone felt that this scene was like watching a sideshow, which was very interesting.
"And your chickens are too big. How do you raise them? One chicken is bigger than three or four in your village. The rooster is bigger than the ordinary geese. The hens are almost catching up with the geese." ”
This person’s description is quite accurate.
Ordinary people, or those who have never raised chickens or stayed in the countryside, may think that it is too exaggerated for a chicken to grow as big as a goose.
This is a native chicken and not a broiler chicken from abroad. How could it grow so big?
But it’s not an exaggeration at all.
There is such a thing in the country.
For example, the famous Jiu Jin Huang.
The so-called Jiu Jin Huang refers to a breed of chicken. Yellow chickens can grow to a weight of nine kilograms, hence the name.
A chicken, or rather a hen, can grow to over six pounds, and the one with the fat head is bigger than a duck.
Not to mention nine pounds?
As for Chen Ling's chickens, most of them are eight or nine pounds, and there are many chickens that are ten pounds and up to eleven or two pounds.
The whole chicken is tall and strong, with extremely thick paws, big size and lots of meat.
It suddenly looks like a big goose.
“Haha, that’s bigger than other geese, right? My chickens, ducks and geese are bigger than other people’s. I can only say that my chickens are about the same size as other people’s geese. If you want to compare with my big geese, they are still bigger. It can’t be compared.”
As soon as Chen Ling finished saying this, by coincidence, as if to cooperate with him to prove it, Wang Zhenzhen supported Ruirui and rode on a big goose, swaying. came over.
Ruirui even grabbed the big goose by the neck and shouted excitedly, "Drive, drive, drive!", beaming with joy.
“Brother-in-law, look, this big goose can also ride. How about we don’t let the little red-crowned crane go? After we raised it at home, we rode the red-crowned crane and let them carry us to the sky. , how nice.”
