Super Orchard

Chapter 24 Insect Catching Artifact
After Zheng Hao made another fried noodle, Shen Yangguang had almost eaten it, and only took out a small portion, leaving most of the rest in the pot. Zheng Hao didn't bother to bother, so he held the pot with his chopsticks and started eating.

After taking a bite, Shen Yangguang boasted: "Not bad, mouse, you can learn it after reading it once."

Without waiting for Zheng Hao to be proud, Shen Yangguang said again: "However, this noodle has been cooked for a long time, it is too soft and not chewy enough, and there is a little too much soy sauce, the noodles are pitch black and a little salty, generally speaking, they are barely qualified. "

While eating, Zheng Hao said nonchalantly: "Just eat what you have, why bother with so much!"

After eating, Zheng Hao was too stuffed, so he was not in a hurry to go home. The two sat on the sofa and chatted while watching TV.

While talking, Zheng Hao asked a question: "Now that autumn is here, it stands to reason that your orchard is not busy, why do you stay there all day and never go home, what are you busy with?"

After Shen Guangguang finished talking about avoiding the folks, he continued: "Besides, I do have other things to do in the orchard. You don't know how fat the bugs are there. We have been catching bugs for the past few days. Busy as hell."

"Don't you know that there is such a thing as pesticides? Spray the pesticides, and you can kill any bugs!"

"I want to create a brand of pure green fruits. I don't want to use pesticides, and there is no other good way. I can only catch them one by one."

"There are only three ways to kill insects. People catch birds and sprinkle them with pesticides. There are greenhouses around the orchard and the birds can't get in. If you don't want to spray pesticides, you can only catch them one by one!"

Shen Yangguang, who was still worried at first, suddenly brightened his eyes when he heard the word "bird eating", kissed Zheng Hao's fat face, and said happily: "You really deserve to be my good brother, as soon as you remind me Just remembered, isn’t there a lot of sparrows in our village? Let’s catch a few and put them in the shed, let the sparrows catch bugs and eat them, isn’t that the solution!”

Zheng Hao rolled his eyes and said: "You think sparrows are so obedient and will stay in the shed all the time, maybe they will fly away along the window at some point, besides, be careful not to get rid of the bugs, the sparrows have eaten a lot of fruit , if you starve them, even your seedlings will be harmed!"

"As far as I know, the food that sparrows like most is grains, followed by various insects, and finally fruits. As long as there are enough grains and insects, they will not bother to eat fruits that are difficult to eat."

Without waiting for Zheng Hao to answer, Shen Yangguang continued: "In addition, I put gauze on all the windows, so that the bugs outside will not come in, and the sparrows inside will not go out, killing two birds with one stone! When there are no bugs in winter, I feed the sparrows with grains, and there are many bugs in summer, so I reduce the amount of grains, so that the sparrows won’t be hungry, and the fruits don’t have to worry about it!”

After finishing speaking, Shen Yangguang didn't delay, and excitedly took Zheng Hao out to catch sparrows. It was already night, and sparrows had already returned to their nests, so it was a good time to catch sparrows.

Now Jinquan Village is mostly tile-roofed houses, and there will be gaps of different sizes at the junction of tiles and walls under the eaves. Sparrows will build nests in these gaps, and lay a layer of hay to form bird nests.

When Shen Yangguang was a child, he also caught sparrows and brought them home to feed. Unfortunately, this kind of small bird is difficult to feed. After being caught, it usually doesn't eat or drink, and it can't survive for a few days.

Shen Yangguang now has a golden air current, which can not only increase the vitality of animals and plants, but also make animals more humane. Dumb is a vivid example. With this guarantee, Shen Yangguang wants to give it a try.

The two carried a ladder, went out with a net bag and a flashlight, and wandered around the village, using the flashlight to shine on the eaves from time to time.

It is actually very simple to know where there is a sparrow nest under the eaves. As long as you see gray-white sparrow droppings on the wall below, and the droppings are not completely dried, you can be sure that there must be a sparrow nest here.

After walking for a long time, I found a sparrow nest, put a ladder on the wall, Zheng Hao supported it below, and lit a flashlight to help illuminate it. Only the sparrow is there.

The night was dark, and with the flashlight shining, the sparrows could only flutter in the nest a few times before being caught by Shen Guangguang and put in net bags one by one.

Then the two found another sparrow nest, and after taking out a few sparrows again, they found that there were still a few sparrow eggs in the nest, and Shen Yangguang took them out together.

After that, the two of them didn't continue to dig sparrows. There were seven sparrows in the two litters, which should be enough to kill bugs in the fifteen-acre orchard, and there were still a few birds' eggs, and a few more sparrows would hatch in a short time.

Immediately afterwards, the two carried the ladder to the orchard and asked Liu Dihua to open the gate and walked in. When they passed the apple grove, the two broke some branches and grabbed two handfuls of weeds on the ground. Go into the shed.

Press the switch of the greenhouse, and the warm light is powered on, and the whole greenhouse is brightened instantly.

This switch has three gears, the first gear is ordinary cold light, the warm light only provides lighting and does not provide heat, the second gear is low-temperature heating, which is used for normal heating in winter to slightly increase the temperature in the shed, and the third gear is high-temperature heating , used to greatly increase the temperature or melt snow.

Of course, there is also a fan on the warm light, which can transmit the hot air to the ground. Otherwise, the hot air is lighter than the cold air and will always be above the greenhouse, which will not achieve the effect of increasing the temperature in the greenhouse.

Shen Yangguang and Zheng Hao walked to the middle of the greenhouse, put down the things in their hands and began to weave a simple bird's nest with branches, not seeking beauty but firmness. After weaving, they spread a layer of weeds inside, and then climbed up the ladder to The bird's nest is fixed on the support of the greenhouse with wire.

Then Shen Yangguang put the sparrow and the bird's eggs into the nest again, and at the same time secretly sent a trace of golden airflow into the sparrow and the bird's egg. After inhaling the golden airflow, the fluttering sparrow suddenly became quiet, and no longer wanted to escape. , kept looking at his new home.

After finishing their work, it was already midnight. Shen Yangguang and Zheng Hao walked out of the shed and closed the door. This kind of door is not simply connecting the inside and the outside, but there is a small room outside the shed. There are two doors in total.

The purpose of this design is to prevent the heat in the shed from leaking out when people come in and out in winter. With the blocking of this small room, it can keep warm well, and it also ensures that sparrows will not fly out when people go in and out.

After a good night's sleep, Shen Yang came to the shed early the next morning and brought some grain to see how the sparrows were doing.

As soon as they entered the shed, several employees had already opened the windows inside, and while talking about how the sparrow came in, they chased it out with branches.

Shen Yangguang hurriedly stopped them and explained: "I worked so hard to catch and eat the bugs last night. Don't drive away the sparrows, close the windows!"

Several employees have never heard of anyone raising birds in a greenhouse to catch insects, but their boss has a lot of eccentricities, no matter how many insects there are, he doesn't spray pesticides, so he didn't say much.

Seeing that Shen Yangguang was going to press the switch to close the window, Wang Chunmei said, "Boss, don't worry about the sparrows flying out. It's strange to say that these little things usually run away when they see people. I don't know what happened today. They can't catch them in the shed." Walk."

Only then did Shen Yangguang realize that the sparrow didn't fly away, even if it stopped by the window, it just looked out, and then flew back and forth among the seedlings, picking up a big caterpillar from time to time and flying into the nest.

Shen Yangguang knew that this might be due to the golden airflow. After the airflow was strengthened, the sparrow could also feel that the environment in the greenhouse was different from the outside world, so he didn't want to leave.

But he couldn't explain it that way, so he said casually: "It may be that there are pesticides and fertilizers everywhere outside, and sparrows prefer to stay here."

After speaking, regardless of other people's beliefs or not, he handed the bag in his hand to Wang Chunmei and said, "Here are some grains, don't open them yet, and when there are fewer bugs in the orchard, sprinkle some around the bird's nest. If there are bugs, just sprinkle some more."

Wang Chunmei and the others also felt that their boss was getting more and more interesting, and they were used to it, so they put the bag of grains aside and didn't ask any more questions.

Dumb, who had been following behind Shen Yangguang's buttocks, was so happy that he got into the seedlings and chased after the sparrows when he saw them, having a great time playing.

These few sparrows are not like other sparrows of the same kind. When they see people and animals, they fly away from a distance, and they don’t care when they see Dumb coming. Ah-Dai kept spinning, and a bold sparrow even flew onto Ah-Dai's body and pecked at him twice. The angry Ah-Dai ran around all over the ground trying to catch the sparrow and vent his anger.

Seeing the sparrows flying around happily in the greenhouse, Shen Yangguang gave up his plan to buy gauze nets to enclose the windows, since the sparrows wouldn't go out anyway, so why bother?
