Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

"I know. Don't worry. I've already asked Qing Wu and the others to go. Three of them will be responsible for one county. Plus, there will be help from the local county yamen runners. It will be quick."

What Lu Yan didn't say was that he also recalled all the Qingyi Guards around Nanning Prefecture.

"Didn't Shen Xingye ask the yamen runners to notify all the villages to come to the county? We will have a unified teaching day tomorrow. When they go back later, they can soak the peach leaves. We can spray them for a day the day after tomorrow. If we have more time, we can spray them for another day the day after tomorrow. In three days at most, we can basically finish spraying the medicine. All we have to do is wait."

Each county government office usually has more than 40 people. If all of them are sent out, it is estimated that they can visit all the villages in one day.

Thinking of this, Su Ziling breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the mulberry tree ping not far away, she turned her head and looked at Lu Yan, "Let's go over there and take a look."

Lu Yan looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. How about coming back tomorrow morning?"

Su Ziling shook his head. "I told the old lady when I passed by that village this morning and asked them to pick the peach leaves. And my father probably told them how to do it when he came back. Let's just go over and take a look."

"Okay, I'll tell Shen Xingye."

In the end, Shen Xingye and Chang Ce were in Haojiayuan, while Su Ziling and Lu Yan went to Sangshuping opposite.

The two villages are separated by a col. Going downhill from this side and then climbing up will reach Sangshuping.

When we arrived at Uncle Li's house, they were in a commotion. "Uncle Li, isn't your dosage wrong?"

"Yes, isn't it said that ten catties of peach leaves equal one ounce of lime?"

Mr. Li was stunned for a moment. "It was ten catties of peach leaves and two ounces of lime. I remember it clearly."

"Impossible. What I heard was ten catties of peach leaves and one ounce of lime."

"Then why did I hear four catties of peach leaves and ten catties of water?"

"This person said the same thing, which one is right?"

"Yes, and is this peach leaf reliable? I have never heard that this peach leaf can kill insects. Is it just a bluff?"

The crowd, who were already wavering, no longer believed that peach leaves could kill insects after just a few words.

"What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about?" Aunt Li yelled.

"I begged you to come? Believe it or not, forget it. It's as if I begged you to come."

"Besides, this is taught by the government. Do you understand the method taught by the government? Didn't you hear the yamen runners come to inform us to go to the county to study tomorrow?"

"Why did we get the recipe in advance? That was because Miss Xiaoqing asked her father to come and teach us. Where did she get the recipe? She figured it out and it was approved by the government."

"She used it herself and found it useful, so she gave it to us and told us how to make it work. She didn't have to do that. Now that she has given us the recipe, you are still questioning her?"

"I found a way today. Soak peach leaves tonight and spray them tomorrow morning. The earlier you spray, the earlier you can kill the insects. Do you understand the season? The land you have been farming for most of your life is now in the dog's stomach?"

"Don't you understand the benefits of killing the insects one day earlier? I'm leaving this message today. If you believe me, stay here. If you don't, get out of here and stop chattering in my yard. I owe you that!"

Aunt Li cursed indiscriminately, and no one dared to say a word. No one spoke, and of course no one left.

At the current growth rate of the insect, they can no longer catch it. This prescription is their last straw.

I thought, let's give it a try, what if it works? That would be great, but if it doesn't? Then I can just plant it again like before.

Someone said weakly, "It's not that we don't believe it, but we feel that the dosage is not right. How about we go over and ask?"

"I saw a group of people coming from the opposite village, and they were working in the fields. Just now, there were people picking peach leaves by the river. I guess they are government officials. The road is not far anyway, so let's go and ask them, in case there is a problem with the dosage..."

Hearing this, Su Ziling finally spoke up, "Auntie, Auntie Li, are you home?"

"Hey, here she is, here she is, Xiaoqing is here?" Aunt Li's eyes lit up when she heard her voice.

He pushed everyone aside and quickly came out to open the door. "Hey, why are you here? It's so late."

Su Ziling pointed across the street and said, "I came here with the government officials to teach you how to kill insects. I thought you guys had picked the peach leaves so I came to see you. I have to rush back to the county soon."

"You came just in time. Please help us check the dosage. Your father came back and told us that we were soaking the water and forgot to remember the amount of lime."

Aunt Li pulled her hand and said, "Come in quickly. Have you eaten yet? My steamer is still in the pot. We can just pull it out and stir-fry some vegetables."

"You really haven't eaten today, so we won't be polite then." Su Ziling agreed with a smile.

Su Ziling knew quite a few people in Sangshuping. Many of them had been to her house, where she sold sweet potatoes, peas, and duck eggs. Last year, she also sold mushrooms. As time went by, everyone naturally became familiar with each other.

Everyone was obviously very happy to see her, "Oh, Xiaoqing is here, come on, we just happened to have a problem here, come and help us out."

"Yes, I clearly remember that the dosage of lime is one ounce of lime for every ten pounds of peach leaves."

"Why do I feel like it's four pounds of peach leaves and ten pounds of water? I didn't hear any lime?"

Seeing that everyone was about to quarrel again, Aunt Li looked unhappy and said, "Okay!"

After saying "OK", everyone shut up. Aunt Li then smiled and looked at Su Ziling, "Okay, you keep busy here, I'll go cook. I happened to have cooked a piece of bacon today, so I'll fry some dried fern for you. There's also wild onion. I picked a bunch of peach leaves today, so it's just right for frying eggs."

"You don't have to make so much, just stir-fry two."

Aunt Li waved her hands and said, "Yes, yes, you finally made it to dinner time..."

Aunt Li had already entered the kitchen, and Su Ziling could no longer hear what was said afterwards.

"Your aunt has this kind of temper. Are you scared?" Mr. Li said this, but his face was full of pride.

"It's okay, it's okay, Auntie has a good temper." Su Ziling smiled and came to their water tank.

Mr. Li lowered his voice and said, "Yeah, I think it's good too. If her voice wasn't loud, she really wouldn't be able to control this group of people."

Su Ziling smiled. She hadn't expected that Aunt Li, who usually looked quite gentle, could be so fierce when she got angry.

Looking at the peach leaves in the jar, Su Ziling asked, "Uncle Li, how many pounds of peach leaves are there? Have you added lime?"

"No, this jar is quite big, so I put 50 kilograms of peach leaves in it, and haven't put in the lime yet. So, no one remembers how much to put in." Uncle Li scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Add one pound of lime to fifty pounds of peach leaves and three times the amount of water, and soak for two and a half hours."

After Su Ziling finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said, "It's ten catties of peach leaves and two ounces of lime. Four catties to ten catties of water is the ratio of the stock solution, which is the peach leaf stock solution that we will make in a moment."

"Add four pounds of liquid to ten pounds of water. Everyone, remember this. If you are worried that you can't remember it, you can ask someone who can read to come and I will write it down for you."
