Chapter 73 The Uncle on the Train

"Okay, if I can find out the news about the two brothers, I will write to you in this way." Uncle Li nodded and promised. The couple waited with them for a while, and the train to Tongzhou City started checking tickets. .

Now the tickets are still being checked manually. Xiao Guofeng held the salute and held Zheng Caiwei's hand, and she held Zheng Caixiu's hand. The group said goodbye to the Li family and his wife, followed the flow of people to check the tickets, and boarded the platform.

The platform was crowded with people who had previously checked in. Xiao Guofeng and Zheng Caiwei found an empty seat and stood there. Taking the tickets, they checked the nearby signs to confirm that the train they wanted to take was indeed on this platform. Xiao Guofeng felt relieved. .

The three of them waited for a while, and the roar of the train was heard in their ears. The train heading for Tongzhou slowly entered the station.

Passengers on the platform began to get restless and followed the train with salutes in hand.

Xiao Guofeng is experienced in taking trains. There are only many people in the seat compartment. The tickets Uncle Li bought for them were for soft sleepers. There were not many people in the soft sleeper compartment. Xiao Guofeng took the two sisters and waited patiently for the train to stop and find their Go to the gate and lead the two sisters onto the train.

"Over there, in front." Zheng Caiwei has good eyesight. After searching for a while, she found the seat corresponding to her ticket. "This is our number, connected, in the same compartment."

Zheng Caiwei was very happy, opened the door and went in.

The soft seats on this train only had upper and lower berths. After Xiao Guofeng corresponded one by one, he found that they had two lower berths. Xiao Guofeng handed one of the tickets for the lower berth to Zheng Caixiu, "Sister Caixiu, what are you still doing?" You need to recuperate, so you lie down on the lower bunk." Then he gave Zheng Caixiu the ticket for the upper bunk on the lower bunk to Zheng Caiwei, "Xiaowei, you are still young, you sleep on the upper bunk, and I will sleep on the other lower bunk."

In Xiao Guofeng's opinion, the upper berth is safer than the lower berth. When the lower berth is not sleeping at night, the passengers in the entire compartment will sit and chat with each other. They will not return to their own berths until it gets dark and it is time to go to bed. Rest.

So Xiao Guofeng let Zheng Caiwei sleep on the upper bunk, which not only prevented his bed from being used by people coming and going, but also gave him peace of mind when sleeping at night. After all, even if someone wanted to do something to her, they would have to climb up to her shop, and there would be no movement when climbing up. It would also wake her up, so she gave Zheng Caiwei the safe ticket to the upper bunk.

"Okay, second brother." Zheng Caiwei obediently helped Zheng Caixiu sit next to them.

Xiao Guofeng also walked to the other side, to his lower bunk.

Entering the compartment before them, an uncle who was sitting on Xiao Guofeng's bunk immediately put away the book he was reading and was about to go to the upper bunk.

"Uncle, please sit down. It's daytime now. I don't plan to sleep. It's too shaky and it hurts my eyes to read." Xiao Guofeng stopped him and sat at the end of the bed, taking out the math textbook he had read in the hospital this morning. , keep watching.

"Thank you, comrade." The uncle sat down again and continued to read the book in his hand.

The train started moving quickly, but it was very quiet in their carriage. There was only the sound of turning books. Zheng Caixiu was still injured and fell asleep after a while.

"Little comrades, are you all students?" After reading for a while, the uncle closed the book in his hand and turned to chat with them, because among the three children in the same compartment, except for the injured one, During the break, the other two were flipping through the books seriously. Such an ambitious young man wanted to have a good chat with them while he needed a break from reading.

"No." Xiao Guofeng was also tired of reading. Having lived a new life, he attached great importance to the balance between work and rest. When his uncle closed the book, he also put the textbook aside, "But we all want to take the college entrance examination next year, so we are all reviewing .”

"The college entrance examination is a good way out. Young man, you must review carefully." The uncle nodded approvingly and advised them to review carefully.

"Uncle, what you are reading is a book on silkworm breeding." Xiao Guofeng looked at the book in the old man's hand. The handwriting on it read: Notes on Silkworm Breeding.

The uncle nodded, picked up the handbook on silkworm breeding, and while flipping through it casually, he said, "Yes, I am from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of Guizhou Province. This handbook was obtained by asking some elderly people who raise silkworms. It was recorded later.

During this time, I have been conducting inspections in various places in our province. I found that the soil and climate in our province are very suitable for growing mulberry and raising silkworms. Foreign countries admire our country's silk very much, so I want to visit various counties and cities. Let’s see where is suitable for planting mulberry trees and raising sericulture. When the time comes, we can promote mulberry trees in our province.These days, it is really difficult for our country to earn some foreign exchange. "

"Can I take a look?" Xiao Guofeng asked, "I am also a farmer, and I can also farm. I also know a little about silkworms. If our province in Guizhou wants to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms on a large scale in the future, I think it will be very good. "

"Really? Then take a look." The old man handed the notebook in his hand to Xiao Guofeng.

Xiao Guofeng took it with both hands and looked through it carefully. Only then did he realize that some of the methods of growing mulberry trees and raising silkworms recorded above were too old, but some of them were good. He told his uncle some of the opinions he had accumulated in his previous life. "Although our province is a southern city, there are some northern counties and cities that are not suitable for sericulture. In my opinion, Changjin City is the most suitable. Changjin City is closest to the south. The land is very suitable for the growth of mulberry leaves, and the weather It’s hot, and as long as the mulberry leaves grow fast enough, autumn silkworms can be raised until November.”

"We will also raise silkworms in autumn!" The uncle heard this and pushed up the glasses on his nose.

"Of course, although mulberry leaves are said to be cold-resistant, silkworms like warm environments. Winter in Changjin City only officially begins on the winter solstice, so before November, there will still be a silkworm that can spin silk and make knots. Cocoon, this can maximize the use of mulberry fields." Xiao Guofeng analyzed based on his experience in his previous life.

"There is another place that is Tongzhou City. Although Tongzhou City is not as far south as Changjin City, the climate is also suitable. When the last batch of silkworms reaches the fifth age in November, the temperature of the silkworm house can be increased. , can also spin silk and form cocoons.

Of course, other cities to the south are also good, but the benefits brought to the people by planting mulberry leaves, raising silkworms and farming should be considered. "

"In your opinion, how can we increase the production of silk?" After listening to Xiao Guofeng's words, the uncle immediately became interested and wanted to hear what unique insights this young man would have on raising silkworms.

"Raising silkworms is just like raising pigs. If the pigs are fed well, they will naturally gain weight. Therefore, the silkworms must be fed well. Only when they are full and eat enough will they spin out more silk and produce more silk. Only when the cocoons are big enough can we extract more silk, so in addition to ensuring the body quality of the silkworms, what we should pay most attention to is the quality of the mulberry leaves and the efficiency of mulberry harvesting."

"Oh!" When the uncle heard this, he immediately asked a sharp question, "Then how should we enhance the quality of mulberry leaves and improve the efficiency of harvesting mulberry leaves? How should we enhance the health of silkworms?"

Looking at his uncle who was looking at him with shining eyes, Xiao Guofeng laughed.

This uncle is really studious.
