My 1995 Small Farm Chapter 542

   This is a small episode.

  Chen Ling didn't take it seriously.

   All I know is that the family spent money to book a room at the farm, but they never lived in it.

   This is other people's freedom, he didn't think about anything else.

   I can't even think about anything else.

   Really came back these two days.

  He doesn't need his uncle and brother to cook anymore, he cooks by himself every day.

   Give the little girl some food.

  The children in the village and the people who are close to them are also blessed.

  Like rotten meat noodles and stewed noodles, these are the specialties of the old Beijiao, with a heavy taste and very northern characteristics. Most of the local mountain people also like this mouthful after eating it.

   There are also fried quail, fried snails, and pork belly chicken. If you make too much, bring a large bowl to the village to share.

   In the countryside, reciprocity is the most direct and simple.

  Chen Ling sent him some food at noon, and each family brought him early corn, peanuts, yam beans, baskets and baskets in the evening.

  Extremely enthusiastic.

The village has been very busy recently, with many 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. Don't care about the danger, just for fun.

   This requires people to take care and remind everywhere... But, the villagers will definitely do their best after earning this money and will not be impatient.

   Just a little tired.

   After all, apart from this, this season, the villagers are also busy with planting winter vegetables, spraying medicine and so on.

  For example, at Wang Lixian's house, he was busy with various tasks in the greenhouse.

  Growing vegetables in a greenhouse also requires fertilization.

   At the beginning, the manure on his house was Chen Ling's quail manure.

   Now that the fertilizer has been fertilized, the ground will have to be plowed, and the ground will be used for fighting in the greenhouse. The big hole that the pig badger dug last year will also have to be repaired.

   It doesn't look like much work, does it?

  But once you start working, you may not be able to finish the work after half a month.

   After all, I only have such a few things at home, so I don't need to find someone to help me with the work.

  In this way, I only clean up by myself when I have free time.

   In the end it was slow.

  Susu's body was getting heavier and heavier. While Chen Ling was making delicious food for his sister-in-law, he would often spend half a day in the kitchen making some favorite food for Susu.

  Like pig's trotters, duck necks, chicken feet, beef tendons…

  She doesn't like to eat serious meat, but she likes to eat this kind of food.

  Chen Ling could do what she wanted, and often made a big pot.

   That's it. 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 still asked the little sheep to bring it back from the city slaughterhouse.

  I packed ice packs along the way to keep them fresh.

   As for the saying that pregnant women are not suitable for greasy food, Chen Ling's family doesn't care.

  Gao Xiulan said a few words at first, but later on, seeing her son-in-law feeding her daughter all kinds of 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 some trivial things backlogged in daily life will keep their mood low, which can be dangerous.

   These days, the old turtle has never appeared again, and foreign tourists seem to have gradually forgotten about it, and are gradually attracted by the beautiful mountains and rivers near Chenwangzhuang.

  Traveling in the mountains and water, their lively figures are on the reservoir, and their cheerful laughter is on the mountain.

  Fishing and swimming, chasing monkeys and small animals in the mountains, climbing trees and catching birds, every day is very happy.

   There is nothing wrong with this.

  Not only did the villagers increase their income, but even the wild animals and monkeys who ran diligently to the crops did not dare to go down the mountain easily.

  And they hardly stay in the village during the day except for meal time.

  The village is relatively clean.

   When he was free and clean, Chen Ling also tidied up the house, repaired the mud walls, **** thatch stacks, sprayed the vegetable garden and so on.

  The crops and vegetables he grows have strong disease resistance.

  But if you don't care, it will attract many bugs to bite.

   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.

  It's like after the seedlings grow up, the crickets, snails, mole crickets, caterpillars... these things will not work.

  They are good at killing vegetables.

  Some bite the leaves, some eat the roots, and some drill into them.

   Spraying works.

  Chen Ling's medicine can wipe everything away.

   But after a while, many people will come running from the cornfields and the grass by the river at the foot of the mountain.

   It is useless to eat birds and small animals, and they will never stop.

   Of course, Chen Ling didn't expect to wipe them all out.

   "Oh, there are so many bugs, I can't even control them for a week, and they started to make trouble again."

  Chen Ling wore a straw hat and walked into the large vegetable garden of the farmland, and the crickets and grasshoppers in the grass crackled and jumped out.

  It sounds like the sound of raindrops falling on the tiles when it rains.

  Big ones, small ones, densely packed.

  Behind him, a little girl led a milkman and followed him along the ditch, catching those grasshoppers and crickets as she walked.

   After a while, a bunch of grass stalks were used to pierce through the grass.

  In the big vegetable garden, beans are growing on the shelves. When the evening is cool, small white and purple flowers will bloom, and long, flat beans will grow.

  Behind the beans are cucumbers, and there are vigorous and dense vines climbing on the shelf, with green leaves overlapping, and rows of green cucumbers hanging below.

  The growth is too vigorous.

  Many bean and cucumber vines have grown to the ground, wrapped around some weeds, growing wantonly.

  Beans, cucumbers, followed by eggplants and tomatoes.

   also grows extremely vigorously.

  If it weren't for the support of the shelves, the tomatoes and eggplants would have already fallen to the ground.

   This was a batch of vegetables that were sold after the flood a while ago, but now they have grown again after not seeing them for a few days.

  'click'

  Chen Ling pinched a bean that was more than one meter long and was about to hang down to the ground. It was covered with insect eyes.

   Just pinch along the worm's eye, and you will see black sand-like worm droppings inside the beans, and a fat caterpillar wriggling inside.

  Chen Ling shook it with his hand, shook it to the ground, and trampled it to death.

  The fat caterpillars immediately burst into pulp, which shows how fat they eat.

  Chen Ling picked a few more lentils.

  There are insect eyes on it too.

   Open it and smell a fresh air, the caterpillars inside are still small.

   But there are too many insect eyes, and the beans can't be eaten.

  'At first glance, it looks good, with a lot of knots, but it turns out that the gold and jade are rotted inside, and the inside is full of bugs, one bean, five or six bugs, big and small.

  When the beans are old, the seeds cannot be left, only the skin is left.

  The cucumbers were also chewed and there were gaps everywhere, what's wrong with this? People can't eat it, but sheep can eat it. '

  Chen Ling sighed slightly.

  Taking the bamboo stick back and forth on the shelf, shaking it a few times, the caterpillars and caterpillars in the leaves and vines also crackled.

  Look carefully, there are several kinds of big and small ones.

  Caterpillars also have black and yellow, with needle-like bristles all over the body. When crawling, their backs will arch up and down quickly, and they will climb onto their feet without paying attention, which is very responsive.

   These are bugs on beans and cucumbers.

  Tomatoes and eggplants are similar.

   Some don't know whether they were eaten by insects or pecked by birds and beasts. There is a small hole on the top, but the inside is all broken.

  The tomato is broken while still growing on it.

   Broken tomatoes are similar to bad watermelons. When you pick them off, you can hear the sound of water sloshing inside, and the smell is very unpleasant.

  Eggplant is slightly better.

  Tomatoes and eggplants are doing better overall.

   But if you look carefully, these two kinds of plants also have large yellow leaves like cucumbers, and more than half of the yellow leaves can appear on a whole plant.

  Chen Ling knew that grubs had begun to appear on these roots.

  Grubs only eat vegetable roots, but they also eat yams and yams.

   It was not obvious at the beginning. The cucumbers and tomatoes looked good, but the roots had been bitten.

  The whole plant will wither after a long time.

  In fact, some cucumbers and eggplants are starting to wilt.

  Many of them have just grown, and they are still small, and they are a little dead before they grow to a large size.

   "Really, go back and get the basket, pick the good vegetables first, I have to spray medicine later."

   "Okay, let me take the basket. The basket is big and holds a lot."

  Wang Zhenzhen stuffed a bunch of grasshoppers into Rui Rui's hands, "Rui Rui, take it, you stand here and don't move, I've got the basket, and we'll go feed the turtles later."

   After speaking, he turned around and ran home.

   After a while, he ran over with a big bamboo basket in his arms.

   "Brother-in-law, here it is."

  Wang Zhenzhen is not afraid of hard work, and said bouncingly: "Most of these vegetables are bitten by insects, let me help you pick them together, and pick them back to feed the sheep."

   "No, you can take Rui Rui to play."

  Chen Ling waved his hand and let them go, so as not to interfere with his work here.

  He works faster by himself.

  Pick the beans first. Generally, the beans grown by others actually have worms, but there are few insect eyes. It is normal for one or two beans in a lot of beans to have worms.

   Once soaked in the water, the worms will crawl out, and they can be eaten anyway.

  The impact is not big.

Chen Ling's family can't do this, the planting is too good, and it attracts insects too much. There are many bug holes on the top and bottom of a bean, and often as long as one of the beans in a cluster has worms, the rest basically have worms. There is no way to eat it.

  It is much more serious than that of others.

  Chen Ling doesn't care about good or bad now, as long as he finds obvious signs, he will first pick off a large cluster of beans next to each other, and he will pick off the heavy and dense beans.

  Last look, there are more than half baskets of bad beans.

   Get it, pour it directly into the sheepfold, and let the sheep eat it.

  The remaining good beans, which have not been bitten by insects, are less than bad beans.

  Chen Ling didn't care so much, and picked all of them.

   If you can't finish it, you can't finish it. Go back and pickle pickles, or make dried beans, and make dumplings in winter.

   Cucumbers can be dried in the sun or pickled in pickles.

   Eggplant can also be dried.

  Tomatoes are fine, stir-fry or eat raw, don't give away one, no matter how much you have, you can finish it.

  Better than being bitten by bugs in the field.

  After busy work, several baskets full of vegetables were picked, the yellowed plants were pulled out, and the bad ones were fed to the sheep.

  Although the goats in my family are a bit wild, they are good at handling these messy bad fruits and vegetables, and they will never be wasted.

  It really proves that sheep eat herbs.

  Chen Ling even wanted to pick out two lambs and feed them with fruits and herbs, so as to see if the meat tasted different during the Chinese New Year.

  Thinking wildly, he went to carry the medicine barrel.

  The potion made by mixing neem seeds and other things has been soaked in two large tanks for a long time.

   This is an exclusive secret recipe that he figured out by himself. The effect of removing insects is not worse than that of pesticides, and it degrades faster. Take it from nature, return it to nature, and it is harmless to the human body.

  Chen Ling carried the spray bucket on his back, and sprayed it four or five times in the two-acre large vegetable garden.

   Then I went home to rest.

  When the sun was about to set, he took a half-green tomato and walked over to check the situation. He found dead crickets and grasshoppers on the ground and grass blades everywhere.

   Many caterpillars and caterpillars also become sluggish.

   People walked over and didn't know how to run. Chen Ling stepped on a large leaf of weeds and didn't pay attention. He trampled to death four or five black caterpillars under the grass blades, bursting out brown intestines and yellow eggs.

   "Hmm, disgusting."

  Chen Ling kicked it away, but he was still very satisfied with the efficacy of the pollution-free pesticides he had formulated.

  I saw the poisoned pests all over the ground.

   There are even snails that have fallen all over the floor under the messy and vine-grown vegetable shelves.

  He greeted: "Erhei, drive the chickens over."

   Erhei was quite far away at this time, but Chen Ling's order would definitely not be missed, so he immediately rushed up the mountain barking.

   After a while, I heard that the mountain seemed to be fried.

   From a long distance, you can hear the sound of clucking chickens and flapping wings.

Native chickens of various colors flapped their wings and flew down from the mountain. There were hundreds of them, clucking and clucking as they flew, and there were many pheasants among them. .

  The tourists who came here to play were stunned.

   They all stared blankly at Erhei leading a few male dogs to drive away the flock of chickens and kill towards the west.

  The chickens are used to being driven by dogs, and they cooperate very well wherever the dogs drive them.

   After flying down from the mountain, he ran towards the vegetable garden with thick chicken feet.

   "Duh, duh, duh..." The dog was chasing him away, and Chen Ling barked in unison, leading him towards the vegetable garden.

  The flock instantly had a clear direction.

  Chen Ling stepped on the ground lightly with his feet, indicating that there were bugs on the ground. The chickens clucked immediately when they saw the bugs, and rushed up one after another, excitedly looking for and pecking at them.

  For a while, the vegetable garden was full of chicken heads.

   "Boss Chen, you are so good. The chickens are also trained in such an orderly manner that they can go wherever they are told to go."

  Someone came to watch the fun, and couldn't help but marvel.

  Everyone felt that this scene was like watching a juggling, which was very interesting.

"And your chickens are too big. How did you raise them? One chicken is bigger than three or four in your village. The rooster is bigger than ordinary geese, and the hens are almost as big as the big geese. "

  This person is quite accurate.

  Ordinary people, or those who have never raised chickens or stayed in the country, may think that it is too exaggerated for a chicken to grow up to the size of 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 China.

   It's like the famous Jiujin Huang.

  The so-called nine catty yellow is a breed of chicken. The yellow chicken can grow to weigh nine catties, so it is called this.

  A chicken, or a hen, can grow to weigh more than six catties, and the fat one is bigger than a duck.

   What's more, it's nine catties?

  As for the chickens in Chen Ling's family, most of them weighed eight or nine catties, and many chickens weighed up to ten or twelve catties.

  The whole chicken is tall and strong, the chicken feet are extremely thick, and it is big and meaty.

   Suddenly it looked like a big goose.

   "Haha, it's bigger than other geese. My chickens, ducks and geese are bigger than other people's geese. My chickens can only be said to be about the same size as other people's geese. If you compare them with my geese, they still can't compare."

  Chen Ling had just finished speaking, so by coincidence, as if to cooperate with him to prove it, Wang Zhenzhen supported Ruirui on a big goose, and walked over unsteadily.

  Rui Rui was also excitedly grabbing the goose's neck and shouting "drive, drive" excitedly, beaming with joy.

   "Brother-in-law, look, this big goose can also be ridden, why don't we let the little red-crowned crane go away? We will raise the red-crowned crane at home when we grow up, and let them carry us to the sky. How nice it is."
