rural small wild medicine

Chapter 221 Don't worry, I have a solution
What surprised Zheng Shanhu and other brothers was that only two days had passed, and the ginseng and ganoderma in the greenhouse had grown wildly.At this speed, within a week, it can grow into a finished medicine that can be eaten.

"It's great! Boss, how do you make ginseng and ganoderma grow so fast?" Zheng Shanhu didn't see Wang Xiaochuan applying pesticides, let alone applying chemical fertilizers, or watering and loosening the soil. , naturally asked in surprise and wonder.

The other brothers also looked at Wang Xiaochuan puzzled.

How can Wang Xiaochuan tell about his use of the Yellow Emperor planting method, he just said that this is the function of the greenhouse for heat preservation and moisturizing!
"But Biecun also used greenhouses to grow ginseng and ganoderma, and they didn't grow so fast." Zheng Shanhu wanted to break the casserole and ask the end.

But Wang Xiaochuan said: "Shanhu! Maybe God is kind to us! By the way, you and your brothers have worked hard these days. You guard the greenhouse and report to me what happens. I won't come here these days. , I want to concentrate on caring for the wiregrass, and wait for Dong Zong to buy it. When the time comes, I will make money, and I will share the money with everyone, and there will be wine to drink and meat to eat."

When Wang Xiaochuan said this, Zheng Shanhu regained his spirits and said, "Boss, don't worry! My brothers and I will take good care of this place. You can take care of the wiregrass with peace of mind."

So Wang Xiaochuan left with peace of mind and came to the ten acres of iron wire grass.

To Wang Xiaochuan's surprise, there were many signs of being gnawed on the tips of the ten acres of iron wire grass seedlings. What gnawed them?
Wang Xiaochuan squatted down and soon discovered a problem, that is, there were many small locusts on the grass seedlings.

The little locusts were constantly nibbling on the iron thread grass and pinching their fingers. In the last five days, Dong Yuhan and Han Jia would come to buy the iron thread grass.If this problem is not resolved quickly, it is bound to affect sales.

How to get rid of locusts?Wang Xiaochuan couldn't think of a way for a moment.

At this moment, Shen Xueli hurried over, and she said out of breath, "Xiaochuan, it's not good, there is a large area of ​​locust plague in my clematis."

Wang Xiaochuan was quite surprised. He really didn't expect that not only his ten acres of ironwort, but also the herbal land of his sister-in-law's family were also affected by the locust plague.Finding that this was not an isolated phenomenon, Wang Xiaochuan decided to take a look at the situation to find out the reason before thinking of countermeasures, so he followed Shen Xueli to her home.

When he came to the field five miles outside the village, Wang Xiaochuan gasped as he stood on the iron wire herb field of his sister-in-law's house.

The locusts are bigger and naturally more destructive, but judging from the area that the iron wire grass seedlings have been devoured, it is chilling.

How can it be sold when the leaves are eaten by locusts?

"Xiao Chuan, what should we do? Did it grow in vain?" Shen Xueli said with a mournful face.

Wang Xiaochuan looked calm and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, let's find out why the locust plague happened? There were no such locusts before."

Shen Xueli shook her head and sighed: "Xiaochuan, to tell you the truth, my sister-in-law came to see the situation early this morning. After careful observation, I found that the locusts flew over from the nearby cornfield."

Wang Xiaochuan looked around and found a large corn field not far away. He hurried into the corn field and found some locusts flying in the corn field.

However, the number of locusts in the corn field has decreased a lot. It turns out that the corn has been eaten up.It is conceivable that if the locusts are not eliminated in time, the ironwort will be devoured by the locusts just like corn, and the losses will be heavy.

"Xiao Chuan, what should we do? If we don't kill the locusts, we will lose all harvests." Shen Xueli was about to shed tears.

Wang Xiaochuan also couldn't think of a solution for a while, but he couldn't bear to see Shen Xueli shed tears, so he quickly comforted him and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I have a solution."

"What can I do?" Shen Xueli asked urgently.

But Wang Xiaochuan said: "Sister-in-law, you will know when the time comes. By the way, leave the locust extermination to me. You don't have to worry about it. Just come to the herb field tomorrow to see the situation."

"Can you do it?" Shen Xueli was a little dubious.

Wang Xiaochuan nodded seriously.

Shen Xueli left, thinking in her heart: What method is this Wang Xiaochuan using?In any case, I hope to see tomorrow's results and not let myself down.

As soon as Shen Xueli left, Wang Xiaochuan began to think hard, what method should I use to kill the locusts?
It is certainly possible to use pesticides, but there are pesticide residues, and Dong Yuhan will come to buy them in five days, which is obviously not feasible.

In Wang Xiaochuan's desperation, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately took out the "Secret of the Yellow Emperor" from his pocket, and quickly read the Yellow Emperor's planting method in it.

Wang Xiaochuan hopes to find a way to get rid of locusts from the book, and his hard work pays off. Wang Xiaochuan got an idea from the book, which is to use the original ecological food chain to get rid of locusts.

Which animals eat locusts?The Yellow Emperor planting method did not elaborate, but only gave the idea of ​​using the food chain to eliminate locusts.

Wang Xiaochuan decided to find the answer by himself. He came to a corn field and found a small amount of locusts.It is worth mentioning that Wang Xiaochuan discovered a detail.When a locust gnawed on the remaining corn cob, a frog flopped and swallowed the locust.

Frogs eat locusts, which makes Wang Xiaochuan's eyes shine.

If you catch a large number of frogs and put them in the wire grass, you can eat locusts and eliminate the plague of locusts.

With a solution, Wang Xiaochuan immediately called Zheng Shanhu and arranged tasks.

"What? Boss, aren't you crazy? I arranged for my brothers and I to catch frogs at night. Do you want to eat frog meat?" Zheng Shanhu was puzzled by Wang Xiaochuan's sudden order to catch frogs.

Wang Xiaochuan didn't want to explain anything to Zheng Shanhu, he just said: "Shanhu, don't ask me, I just ask you to lead your brothers to catch a thousand frogs in the middle of the night. If you can't complete the task, I will take you as a questioner." .”

"Boss, you are going crazy! One thousand, isn't this killing me and my brothers?" Zheng Shanhu complained.

But Wang Xiaochuan instructed on the phone: "Shanhu, this is a very important matter, don't worry, I will catch frogs with you in the first half of the night!"

Seeing that the boss also joined in, Zheng Shanhu didn't say anything, and he immediately followed suit.

It was getting dark, and Wang Xiaochuan led his brothers to catch frogs, each with a flashlight in their hand.There is also a net bag, and behind it is a bamboo basket with a small diameter and a cover on it, which is convenient for holding frogs.

Zheng Shanhu and his brothers are well aware of the frog's living habits, as is Wang Xiaochuan.Frogs have been seen in low-lying lands, ponds, ditches, etc. where reeds and weeds grow.

At night, the frogs came out to eat mosquitoes and locusts. Wang Xiaochuan led the brothers. He set up a demonstration and used the strong light of the flashlight to illuminate the frogs.When the frog saw the light, it stopped moving.At this time, Wang Xiaochuan caught the frog in a net bag and poured it into the bamboo basket.

"Unexpectedly, besides being a super hunter, Boss is also a master frog catcher!" Zheng Shanhu praised with thumbs up again and again.
