Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I blushed and my heart beat when I was teased by the boss
Chapter 54: Scraping poison to treat fruit trees
Xiao Gangzi was happy for a while, then saw Li Xinran lowering her head, thinking she was worried.
He touched the little cat biscuit in his pocket again and comforted him kindly. Li Xinran said,
"Li Zhiqing, my grandfather won't make things difficult for you, don't worry."
Li Xinran was thinking about it when he heard such words, which were like those of a young adult, and he burst into laughter.
"Your grandfather, why are you making things difficult for me?"
"Hmm...Hmm...Hmm..."
Xiao Gangzi puffed out his cheeks and hummed for a long time, but did not dare to say it.
What if, after speaking out, this Li Zhiqing becomes even more frightened.
Xiao Gangzi finally choked out a sentence,
"It's okay anyway, just don't worry."
Li Xinran smiled, raised his head, and followed Xiao Gangzi with light steps.
When Xiao Gangzi saw it, Li Xinran no longer lowered his head, and secretly applauded himself. He was really awesome.
As expected, Li Zhiqing was no longer worried.
After a while, Xiao Gangzi brought Li Xinran to a peach tree.
There were several people standing in front of the peach tree. In addition to Captain Zhao, there was also the old man who had been looking after the orchard, and a few people watching the fun.
"Grandpa, Li Zhiqing is here."
Xiao Gangzi shouted to the crowd and ran away.
Captain Zhao looked back and saw Li Xinran standing there.
He turned around and said hello,
"Li Zhiqing, please take a look at this rotten tree trunk. How to cure it?"
"This peach tree produced many and big peaches last year."
"This spring, the tree trunks began to rot. Once rotten, one piece of the tree became rotten, and the peaches produced became smaller and fewer."
"You know better. Show me this tree quickly."
There was an old man taking care of the orchard nearby, and he looked at Li Xinran carefully.
Yesterday, Captain Zhao told him that this educated youth had to prune the branches of fruit trees in winter.
After pruning in the winter, prune again in the spring to make the fruit trees bear more fruit.
He just waited and saw next year whether what this educated youth said was correct.
It just so happened that the trunk of a peach tree in this orchard was rotten, so I asked Li Zhiqing to take a look.
You can also explore her background first to know whether she knows how to prune trees.
Don't be that kind of blind scholar who can only talk but not take action.
Although she cured the pig, curing the pig is not the same as pruning a fruit tree.
Li Xinran had already asked about Captain Zhao's visit to her on the way.
She also sorted out the knowledge she had read before in her mind.
Now, Li Xinran did not refuse, and took a few steps forward to carefully observe the rotten tree trunk.
After about half a minute, Li Xinran straightened up, took a few steps back, and said,
"It may be that there is a weak parasitic fungus on the trunk of the peach tree."
Captain Zhao was confused and couldn't understand what Li Xinran was talking about, so he couldn't help but ask again,
"What, what's weak, what's bacteria?"
At this time, someone in the crowd said,
"Li Zhiqing said, are there mushrooms growing on the peach trees?"
Captain Zhao went to see the peach tree again. There were no mushrooms on the rotten trunks. They were just making noise.
After Li Xinran finished speaking, she thought that people in Beishan Village might not know what parasitic bacteria are.
She immediately explained again,
"There are pests on the trunk of this peach tree."
"It's just that this kind of bug is very, very small, smaller than half the eye of a needle."
When Li Xinran said this, Captain Zhao seemed to understand a little bit.
The eye of a needle is just a little bigger. This bug is smaller than half the eye of a needle. How small is it?
No wonder they can't see it.
"Then how can we treat this insect, which is smaller than half the eye of a needle?"
Captain Zhao put his hands behind his back and continued to ask.
Li Xinran said that she had already thought of a way.
"First scrape off all the diseased areas on the trunk."
"Use concentrated alkaline water or mash garlic and apply it on the rotten tree trunks."
"Next to the rotten areas and good tree trunks, you should also apply a little more concentrated alkaline water or garlic paste."
"Ten days later, apply it again, and then wrap it with strips of cloth or straw."
"In this way, it can both kill bacteria and prevent insects."
"After half a year, the fruit trees will basically be ready."
The uncle who had been standing nearby to take care of the orchard was very suspicious of what Li Xinran said.
"Just use some garlic and some alkaline water to cure this fruit tree?"
Li Xinran's tone was still very polite and she said,
"Or you can go to town and buy some pesticides."
"The pesticides sold in town are always useful."
The man in charge of the orchard simply stopped talking.
It would be great if they could buy pesticides.
The crowd watching the excitement on the side was also noisy.
They didn't quite believe that such a simple method would work.
Someone even whispered,
"Does this really work?"
"I have an apricot tree at home, and a piece of its trunk is rotten. Can I just apply some garlic on it?"
"I also have a cherry tree at home, and it's the same."
Captain Zhao, on the other hand, believed in Li Xinran.
Last time, when I was treating pigs, I just used some pepper powder.
Captain Zhao waved his hand to the crowd and pointed,
"You, go find some alkaline water, bring some minced garlic, and scrape off the damaged trunk."
"Then apply garlic paste and alkaline water to the tree."
"Remember, after ten days, apply a few more times."
Captain Zhao thought, anyway, just order alkaline water.
That thing is not valuable. Since it can be useful for fruit trees, just use more of it.
When the man heard Captain Zhao's order, he immediately went to get alkaline water.
Li Xinran watched the man scrape off the rotten parts of the fruit tree and apply alkaline water on it.
While painting, she asked again to paint some on the edges, on the longer trunks.
Seeing that after applying the alkaline water, nothing happened.
After Li Xinran said something to Captain Zhao, she planned to turn around and leave.
The crowd nearby saw that Li Xinran was about to leave and quickly asked,
"Li Zhiqing, my apricot tree has the same problem. Can it be cured by applying some garlic paste?"
Li Xinran stopped. She had never seen the apricot tree that the man was talking about, and she was not sure whether it had the same problem.
However, garlic sterilization can always be used.
So, Li Xinran said,
"You can try the same method."
"As long as it's caused by parasitic bacteria, that is, small and medium-sized insects, something can be done."
The person who asked the question was still a little hesitant.
However, Li Zhiqing just said that in half a year, we will know whether this method will work or not.
He planned to wait half a year and take a look at the fruit tree in the orchard.
If it worked, he'd try again.
Li Xinran returned again to the tree where the female educated youths were picking fruits.
As soon as Zhao Meijuan, Zhou Xiaonan and others saw her, they stopped what they were doing and involuntarily poked their heads forward.
"Xinran, what did Captain Zhao do to find you?"
Several people were quite curious about Li Xinran being called away by Captain Zhao.
Li Xinran didn't think about it and hid it.
There were so many people at the peach tree just now, and the people in the village probably didn't have to wait until work ended in the evening.
The speed at which gossip spreads is always astonishing.
Although, what she just did was a good thing.
However, good things spread only a little slower than bad things.
Li Xinran reached out to pick the fruit and said casually,
"The trunk of a peach tree is rotten. Captain Zhao asked me to take a look."
He touched the little cat biscuit in his pocket again and comforted him kindly. Li Xinran said,
"Li Zhiqing, my grandfather won't make things difficult for you, don't worry."
