Old Master Su was very fast. When he arrived, Su Ziling and the others had just finished spraying the area above.
It took three loads of water to prepare a piece of land. Su's father went to fetch water, while Su Ziling and the others sat on the ground and enjoyed the breeze.
"This medicine seems to be of some use!"
Suddenly, they heard Grandpa Su's voice. Su Ziling and the others turned around and looked, "Grandpa, you're here? You're so fast."
Old Man Su was standing in the field, bending over and looking at the first few rows that were sprayed with pesticides.
"Here it is. This little gadget is not difficult to make. I'll use it for now and work on it better when I get back later."
He looked at them one by one and said, "This medicine is effective. After such a short while, I see that it is a little dizzy and has already climbed up."
"Look, look, there's one that just crawled out here, and it's still on the leaf, but it's not moving anymore. But it should be because it's smaller, so the medicine takes effect faster."
At this time, Mr. Su was like a little child. He took a stick and poked the insect gently, and the insect fell to the ground.
After making sure the bugs were really dead, he smiled from ear to ear, "I let you chew my corn, I let you eat my crops, now it's over, isn't it?"
He clapped his hands and walked further inside. It should be because the time was running out, as those sprayed at the back were not dead yet. However, it was also obvious that the movements of those insects had begun to slow down.
"I think this pesticide will work. For such a large area of land, it would take us half a day to weed. Spraying pesticides will be much faster. It will only take a short time."
The old man looked at a few rows, put his hands behind his back, and walked more briskly. His wrinkled face became narrow slits when he smiled.
"This medicine is good. At this rate, we should be able to finish spraying it tomorrow."
Thinking of this, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He originally thought that he would never be able to catch all the bugs, and after he caught them all, there would be more. He was so anxious that he couldn't eat or sleep well.
"By the way, since this medicine is useful, I will go back later and tell the tribe leader. Then we can gather together and tell them how to make this medicine, so we don't have to teach them one by one."
Seeing that the medicine was effective, the first thing Mr. Su thought of was to tell everyone about this medicine.
Firstly, most of the people in Baihua Cave have the surname Su, and if you trace back, they are all Su. Secondly, the old man has been farming all his life, and he can't bear to see the crops being destroyed like this, even if they are not his own, it makes him feel sad to see it.
"Grandpa, don't worry, let's finish spraying our own first. We'll finish spraying everything tomorrow and see the effect the day after tomorrow. Don't let us wait until only a few die and then we make a big fuss and ask them to do it too."
"By the time the bugs have been wasted and they haven't died yet, I'm afraid those people will make trouble."
Human nature.
Mr. Su sighed, "You are really thoughtful. I was so happy that I forgot about it."
"Come, try this spray gun I made." Grandpa Su handed the spray gun to everyone and took out a bamboo tube from his waist.
"This is the juice of the hairy fish vine you mentioned. There's not much, so I filled a bamboo tube. The juice of the hairy fish vine is too difficult to collect. I worked so hard for a long time, but only got this little. I guess it's only enough to spray one row. It's better to use peach leaf juice. I think the effect is also quite good."
I think it would take four scoops of peach leaf juice to mix into one bucket of water, but I'm afraid it would be difficult to even mix this bamboo tube of hairy fish vine juice into one bucket of water.
Su Ziling took the bamboo tube and took a look at it. The bamboo tube was quite big. When filled to the brim, it would probably hold about 500 milliliters.
The ratio of hairy fish vine juice to water is one to four. One milliliter of hairy fish vine juice is matched with four kilograms of water, which means one hundred milliliters is matched with four hundred kilograms of water.
But she pounded it herself, and the rotenone content in it is only about 12%, so she has to increase the dosage a little.
Their family's condition is so serious that she plans to double the dosage of the hairy fish vine juice, to a ratio of two to four.
"Grandpa, the juice of the hairy fish vine is mixed differently from the peach leaf juice. Just the bamboo tube you brought can be mixed with about 600 kilograms of water."
Grandpa Su was stunned. "So many? Doesn't that mean that this bamboo tube can almost spray all the corn in our house?"
"Not that bad." As soon as Su Ziling finished speaking, the old man spoke up, "It has to be placed securely. If it falls, everything will be gone."
"The water is here." Father Su put the bucket steady and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I just went to fetch water and saw my second uncle's family also catching insects. When they saw that I had fetched water several times, they asked why I fetched so much water." Father Su scratched his head.
"I thought that Yong'an was the shopkeeper of our restaurant, and the relationship has eased a lot this year, so I said a few more words. I guess he will come up and ask questions later."
It's not surprising that Su Wenfu would ask. After all, it had just rained and there was plenty of moisture in the ground, so there was no need to water it. In fact, you can't drink that much water. He must have been curious after picking it up several times in a short while.
Father Su looked at Old Man Su, then looked at Su Ziling, "Did I... say something wrong?"
"I was just too happy. As soon as I sprayed the medicine, I saw that it was about to take effect. I was so happy that I ran away."
"Xiao Qing? What are you going to say later?"
As soon as Mr. Su finished speaking, Su Ziling saw Su Wenfu climbing up onto the stalk of the ground.
"Dad, it's okay, let me tell you."
Su Ziling smiled and said, "Uncle, are you guys here to catch bugs too? How's it going? Have you finished catching them?"
"No, it's not that easy." He walked over slowly, looking at Su Ziling's corn as he walked, "Your seedlings are growing really well. The crops are growing differently with the manure."
"Yes." Grandpa Su took over the conversation, "We raised cows and pigs, dug a manure pond, and fermented more manure. Not to mention, the crops grew well, but they suffered this disaster this year. I don't know where these insects came from."
Mr. Su patted the ground stem beside him and said, "Come and sit for a while."
The two brothers sat on the ground and looked at the corn seedlings that were gnawed into pieces.
Looking at these two people, Su Ziling felt that something was missing. If he had a cigarette, and then let out a puff of smoke when the wind blew, well, the atmosphere would be there.
Su Wenfu turned his head and looked at the field that had been sprayed with pesticides. "Brother, I just heard from the second brother that you are not catching any more fish now. Are you spraying pesticides? How is the effect?"
He raised his hand and scratched his hair, his eyes full of anxiety. "The seedlings in my area are not growing well. There are so many insects that we can't catch them all. There are even two or three insects on one seedling."
Hearing him say that his family had many insects, Father Su leaned towards Su Ziling and said in a low voice, "That's true. His corn seedlings are much more seriously damaged than ours."
Mr. Su sighed first, then said, "It was Xiaoqing who did it. I don't know where she got a secret recipe from. We have just started spraying it. We have only sprayed this little area, and the effect is not clear yet."
"She was just saying that the medicine is not difficult to make. The main thing is to see how effective it is. I thought we should spray ours first and observe the effect every other day. If it works, we will distribute the medicine to everyone. If it doesn't work, we still have to catch it by hand. If it doesn't work, we will have to replant it."
