Husband and wife are hot on the kang

Locusts don't eat garlic!

Also separating the locusts are two border military fields.

Yu Liangji suggested they plant a crop of garlic two years ago.

Garlic is not a commonly used vegetable, it can only be regarded as a side dish seasoning, but since Qing Fenghou said so, everyone obediently planted it whether they like it or not.

Their plan is similar to that of Shibalipu, except that they digest the garlic by themselves, and after planting the garlic, they have to replant a crop of Chinese cabbage.

At that time, winter cabbage will also be available. If there are Huotoujun who can make kimchi, they can directly use garlic cabbage and chili to make kimchi.

Everyone's eyes were red when they saw grassland locusts!

This thing is terrible!

Wherever it passes, not a blade of grass is left!

The result was good. Grassland locusts flew over covering the sky and covered the sun, and landed in the garlic field without eating a bite!

And the thousands of hectares of garlic fields, the place is not small, the locusts flew away without taking a bite, went straight to the grass behind, gnawed all the grass before taking off again, the soldiers took advantage of this time, simply Pulling the big net and swarming up, a large number of locusts were caught!

Later, some people caught a lot of locusts. It was because these locusts had flat stomachs. It turned out that when the locusts flew, they had to take turns to eat. When it was their turn, they arrived at the garlic field. Belly, the flight didn't move, it was caught by the big net!

Shi Hongda sorted out Yu Liangji's method, which had already spread to the frontier fortress through Beijing. The marshal ordered the fire leader to set up a frying pan, and the locusts were fried. After the frying pan was cooked, sprinkle some salt and pepper on it, and it tasted good!

Because it is deep-fried, the oil and water are very large, and the officers and soldiers of the entire border defense are dispatched!

Yu Liangji was enjoying the shade under the vines. Since he knew about grassland locusts, he put a glass cover on the greenhouse again, and the glass outside the cover was replaced with gauze.

Although it is a bit wasteful, there is no way, his experimental greenhouse can't have any accidents!

In the experimental field, he sprayed lime sulfur mixture, which locusts do not eat, but it cannot be sprayed on a large area. He sprayed it on all the villages that are not garlic fields.

Because garlic fields are not afraid of locusts!

Yu Liangji, who was enjoying the cool, was drowsy. A gust of hot wind blew by, carrying a bit of earthy smell, and then he heard everyone's panicked voices: "What is that?"

Yu Liangji opened his eyes and heard a little buzzing too!

"It's locusts!" Everyone yelled, and all the nets that had been prepared a long time ago were taken out.

Yu Liangji also jumped up, and Shi Hongda jumped out of the room suddenly, pulling him into the room: "Go in and stay here and don't come out!"

"I don't!" Yu Liangji struggled: "I also prepared a net to catch locusts!"

As he said that, he pulled out the eldest net from the cabinet and shook it, it seemed like that!

"But you...?" Shi Hongda didn't want him to go out, who knows if locusts bite people?

It doesn't matter if they are rough and thick, but Yu Liangji can't, and Yu Liangji is also weak, and there is still chaos outside.

"I must catch more locusts than you!" I practiced how to catch locusts in the insect farm back then!

Yu Liangji is very confident.

Shi Hongda couldn't resist him: "Then be careful!"

"I'm going to guard my experimental field!" Yu Liangji grabbed Shi Hongdao: "Don't worry about the garlic field."

In fact, it is only because of the smell. There are too few insects that can eat garlic, so Yu Liangji sterilized garlic and planted it every now and then, making his planting land basically free from pest disasters. This time, the whole village planted garlic. , In fact, it was to disinfect the land, but this year there were locusts, and the garlic in Shibalipu avoided the plague.

The locusts came soon, but it may be that they passed through too much and caught too many. After all, there was no net on the grassland, and they couldn't catch them, so they multiplied indefinitely and had food and drink. After crossing the Great Wall, it is a huge blow head-on!

In addition to the city walls, there are net bags and garlic sprouts!

The locusts were basically wiped out in half!

But the remaining half are also elites!

At the moment when the locusts arrived, Yu Liangji guarded his experimental field and rushed towards the locust swarm in the posture of fishing and casting a net. Behind him was all the people of the Hou Mansion, who were all guarding the experimental field of Lord Hou. Strive to keep the experimental field.

Fortunately, the experimental greenhouse is covered with nets, and the locusts cannot enter.

There are a lot of locusts in the bag, and many people have prepared in advance, and they will fry them in the pan immediately after they get them!

So the earthy smell of locusts mixed with the smell of dry oily residue.

The locusts only swept across the Shibalipu side, and everyone kept most of the crops. After that, the locusts went to other places, but the locust swarms became smaller and smaller.

"When will they be wiped out!" Yu Liangji wiped his sweat.

"Soon!" The weather was hot, and everyone was exercising vigorously, sweating all over, including Butler He, who was always elegant and capable.

"Hurry up, it's time to fry, everyone go take a shower!" Yu Liangji handed the locusts in the net bag to Chef Huang.

"Yes, yes!" Chef Huang gathered the locusts excitedly: "There will be appetizers tonight!"

Everyone wiped their sweat and laughed.

As soon as Yu Liangji came out of the shower, the door curtain was pulled open.

"News from over there!" Shi Hongda ran in.

"Ah?" Yu Liangji sat up at that moment.

"The locusts have passed the first line of defense at the border!" Shi Hongda said with a smile on his face, "Thanks to you, they planted garlic this year, but they didn't get eaten!"

Yu Liangji: "...!"

What a blind cat met a dead mouse!

After the locusts passed, the spring garlic in Shibalipu could finally be grown. Everyone said that Yu Liangji could pinch and count. Otherwise, if they followed the habit of previous years, they would definitely grow a lot of food, and now they have been eaten away by the locusts!

The two uncles of the Zhang family also came over, pulling a carriage with dumbfounded things!

"This is?" On the carriage, there are live chickens, ducks, geese, and little piglets. What is this for?

"Everyone, thank you for your gift!" Uncle Zhang said embarrassingly, "Because of your advice, the village grows all garlic, and a few of them are tax grains. This time the locusts, Well, a lot of locusts have been caught, not much food has been lost, and the garlic fields have not been damaged at all."

So everyone thought it was thanks to Lord Hou!

I gave a lot of gifts, but I didn't dare to come by myself, and I didn't dare to form a clique to come, so I entrusted the village head and patriarch to send it!

Yu Liangji accepted the gift, left the two Zhang family brothers for dinner, and went to see the Zhang family's children who were studying here before sending them back.

After the locust disaster, everyone began to tidy up the fields, and found some locusts, as well as the eggs they had laid at that time. Although they could not see many of them, it was estimated that there were quite a few. The field also began to harvest. After the harvest, the land was refurbished and exposed to the sun for three days. Some locust larvae flew out, and the children caught them directly!

For the rest, it is no longer a climate. Many poultry have been released to eat insects. Shibalipu began to grow autumn cabbage.

Autumn cabbage was planted in July. Fortunately, there were columbine carts, and when everyone shoveled the ground twice after the seedlings emerged, they shoveled the ground once, and then cut down the cabbage seedlings to try to grow Chinese cabbage.

Yu Liangji's test field also suffered some damage, but not too much.

"The higher-ups want to ask you to come up with a plan about resisting locust plagues..." Shi Hongda came in with something this day, and Yu Liangji was holding a small half of a watermelon, sitting under the grape arbor and eating it with a small silver spoon.

Seeing Shi Hongda come in, I was a little silly at the time!

Because Shi Hongda didn't let him eat watermelon like this, because he was afraid that his stomach would get cold, so he usually ate it secretly...

Got caught today!

"Who gave you the watermelon?" Shi Hongda's face dropped immediately.

He still remembers the first time he gave Yu Liangji watermelon, when there was no limit, Yu Liangji ate it very happily, but at night he ran into his stomach, his whole body was listless, his face was even paler, he was frightened, okay? !

From then on, Shi Hongda controlled him to eat.

It took three or four years before I dared to give him some hot and nourishing things like mutton soup. He usually drank bone soup and chicken soup.

I'm afraid of catching cold in summer, and I'm afraid of catching cold in winter. How can people take advantage of it?

"Well, I picked it myself in the greenhouse... Don't be so nervous, my stomach has improved a lot in the past two years, it doesn't matter if I eat some, besides, the weather is too hot, and my watermelon didn't cool in the well. Just pick it off and eat it, it’s okay!" Yu Liangji knew he made a mistake, but he was greedy for watermelon, for the sake of his little stomach, he didn’t dare to use well water to cool it, just picked it up and cut it and ate it , Of course, it also means hurry up.

Shi Hong was so angry that he directly grabbed his watermelon.

Yu Liangji reached out and tugged at the hem of his clothes, looking at him pitifully, his eyes could speak!

I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong!

look at my eyes!

Shi Hong sat down on the chair next to him angrily, dug into his watermelon with his small silver spoon, ate it all, and quickly killed his watermelon!

Yu Liangji: "...!"

That's his watermelon!

His watermelon!

"This is something given to you by your superiors. I would like you to write an article on how to resist the locust plague. This time everyone was terrified. I heard that other villages suffered heavy losses. This year's taxes and grains are all exempted." Shi Hongda ate After finishing the watermelon, he calmed down, wiped his mouth, and discussed business with Yu Liangji with a serious face: "Write down everything you said before. The fried locusts are delicious. Maybe we can hug the locusts in the future!"

Fried locusts have become a very good appetizer in recent days. I heard that a plate of fried locusts in restaurants is quite expensive, but more people like to spend money to destroy them.

Yu Liangji looked at Shi Hongda sadly: "Got it!"

After dinner in the evening, Shi Hongda took Yu Liangji for a walk, always paying attention to his expression to make Yu Liangji laugh.

"Why do you keep looking at me?" Are you an old man, okay?

"I'm afraid your stomach is uncomfortable." Even today's dinner is specially made neither hot nor cold, for fear that it will be too hot, and Yu Liangji will feel uncomfortable if it is cold and hot.

"I'm not sick!" Yu Liangji moved his face and turned the direction: "Don't look at it, we've been married for several years, so I don't feel ashamed!"

"Not too much." Shi Hongda turned his head, still looking at Yu Liangji.

Yu Liangji's cheeks were hot and his heart was sweet, it's good to have him by his side!

Until the next day, Yu Liangji didn't feel any discomfort, so Shi Hongda felt relieved.

"I said it's fine, I've raised a lot of meaty ones over the years!" Yu Liangji pulled his cheeks to show him: "They're all fat!"

From the very beginning, Liangji had sports, and later he started thinking about agricultural things, and his strength was much stronger than that of the original owner!

It's a pity that the foundation is not very good, and it is already very good now.

"Then be careful." Shi Hongda remained unmoved, and still controlled the amount of food he ate, only two melons a day, and one for older ones.

In this way, the days passed until August, and the cabbage grew very fast, and now it is as big as a sheep's head. When it grows longer, it will be harvested after August [-]th.

And the spring garlic at Shibalipu has also been sorted out. Although it is not big, it tastes good, and because it is for sale, the garlic is very clean, not stained with soil at all, and it is packed in burlap bags. , put in a dry place.

It rarely rains in July, but fortunately, there is no shortage of water. In August, there is no rain at all.
