"Brother Chen, are you picking vegetables?"

"It's not picking vegetables, it's thinning out seedlings."

"Thinning? What is thinning?"

"..."

Good guy, here comes the 100,000 whys again.

Chen Ling was speechless and could only answer simply: "Thinning is to thin out the dense vegetable seedlings to give them more living space. Otherwise, if there is not enough nutrients, the vegetables will not grow well."

In fact, many of these reporters came from rural areas. Jian Miao knew about this, so he helped Chen Ling explain.

The seedlings growing in this vegetable field will need to be spaced out in about a week due to the dense planting.

Especially this Chinese cabbage, because it can grow very big, there is only one seedling left in a hole.

All the rest need to be removed.

More importantly, be careful not to pull out the seedlings randomly when thinning them out.

You can't plant all the good seedlings until the end, leaving only the weak, bad, and diseased seedlings that have been eaten by insects.

At this time, thinning is often not done all at once.

But in batches.

For example, if there are ten vegetable seedlings, two will come out the first time, and eight will remain.

The second time there were five left.

By taking your time, you can select the healthiest and strongest vegetable seedlings without making any mistakes. This method is very safe.

"Yes, that's right. This young man said it in detail."

After listening to a male reporter finish speaking, Wang Cunye grinned and praised.

"Hello, uncle, what are you spreading on this vegetable patch?"

"These, these are wheat bran, wheat bran mixed with plant ash, used to prevent insects, otherwise the insects will come to eat the vegetable seedlings. If wheat bran is sprinkled, the insects will eat the wheat bran first, and they will all swell to death."

"What about this, what about this? Why are there piles of grass in the vegetable field? Why don't you clear it out?"

"That one is also for insect protection. Crickets and other things like that like to burrow under the haystack. Put it before the sun goes down. When you get up early tomorrow morning and lift it up, that guy can climb one layer under the haystack, so you can just put it there.

They're all gone in one fell swoop."

Wang Cunye stood up slowly, supported his waist and explained: "If we don't do this, just relying on wheat bran, they won't be fooled over time."

"ah?"

"Here, just planting grass can eliminate insects? Is this also possible?"

This group of young reporters were dumbfounded, and they were all stunned.

"It's definitely possible. It's been like this for many years. If you don't believe me, come and have a look at the vegetable field tomorrow. Crickets will definitely crawl all over the ground." Wang Cunye said, and asked the young man who just said that thinning was very good.

: “Isn’t that how you grow vegetables there?”

"No, we are in a plain area with a large plot of land. Sometimes we can grow vegetables on several acres or more, and we have started applying pesticides a long time ago." The young man shook his head.

"Oh, that's true. This method is too tiring and not suitable for large plots of land." Wang Cunye nodded.

"We live in the mountains, so we don't grow much of anything. For cabbages like yours, you only need a few vegetable beds, so you can spread some grass over them quickly, and it doesn't take much effort."

"In the past, we used sticks to make holes one or two fingers deep under the haystacks. At night, crickets and other things would burrow into the holes. When we got up during the day and lifted the grass, they were all gone.

They're stuck inside, and no one can escape."

As he spoke, the old man himself started laughing.

The young men and women were influenced by him, laughed too, and found it very interesting to hear what he said.

Everyone was even eager to try, wanting to find a few sticks and poke holes under the grass.

"Let my son-in-law find a stick for you. He is good at making this hole. Let him teach you."

The old man sat happily on the earth, rolled up a cigarette and pointed to his son-in-law.

Chen Ling was just idle, listening to his father-in-law talk with these people, but he didn't know that the matter had returned to him.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he suddenly felt helpless. Come on, let's just find a few sticks and do it.

Then they went to the edge of the orchard to find some straight wooden sticks, and taught these enthusiastic young reporters to poke some deep holes under the haystacks.

This is much more effective than simply laying grass or spreading wheat bran.

It is also the people's years of farming experience that have figured out the living habits of these pests.

Vegetables that mature in late autumn, such as radish, cabbage, spinach, etc., are most susceptible to the harm of these crickets and other insects. In order to ensure that the vegetables can last through autumn and winter, it is natural to come up with effective methods to prevent and control them.

Take these people to tidy up the cabbage here.

Taking advantage of all the free labor, Chen Ling took out the little white cows, hooked up the plow, picked out the peeled potato pieces in a basket, and led them to plant potatoes.

If potatoes are planted now, they will naturally be harvested in winter.

It is also called winter potato.

Originally, Chen Ling was waiting for Zhao Dahai and others to come and plant this work with them. Anyway, the plot of land in the vegetable garden is not big, so everyone can finish the planting just by having fun.

Moreover, all the cucumbers, tomatoes, and other items were plowed away, and the vacant land was plowed, leaving only the remaining areas for planting.

I didn't expect these reporters to catch up with such a good thing.

It's really cheap for them.

Growing potatoes is simple. Cut a potato into large pieces, use the peeled potato pieces, put them in a cloth bag or a small basket, carry the cloth bag or basket, and follow the cow.

After the ox plowed the ground, he held a piece of potato in the ditches made by the plow, threw it into the ditch, and stepped on it with his feet, and the potato pieces were trampled into the soil.

Moving forward, throwing another piece, stepping on it again, it's just the same thing.

After Chen Ling demonstrated it twice, these young men and women learned the lesson. They started laughing and competing and finished the job in less than two hours.

However, doing farm work is secondary. They just want to feel fresh and play along.

Catching is better than fishing.

After finishing their work, their attention soon turned to the little white cow.

But with Chen Ling's previous warning and some things about the little white cow that the young men in the village had said, although they were very excited when they saw the beautiful little white cow, they didn't dare to approach it rashly, but they were definitely curious.

.

Everyone gathered around Chen Ling and asked questions. After asking about cows, they asked about dogs.

Since he had exerted his energy and helped with the work, Chen Ling patiently told them some things.

These young reporters were fascinated by the story about taking dogs to hunt wolves and wild boars last year.

"Brother Chen, I heard that in the future, hunting will no longer be allowed and guns will be put away." said the female reporter who was very interested in Chen Ling.

"Well, well, hunting is not a one-size-fits-all thing."

Chen Ling smiled and said, "For example, if the number of natural enemies of wild boars gradually decreases, they will soon overrun and become a disaster. We must go into the mountains regularly to eliminate a group of them. Otherwise, if we let them go completely, it will harm people, crops, and even the mountains and forests."

It’s all a disaster.”

This is true, but young people who have never experienced such an incident do not pay much attention to it, and just listen to many of Chen Ling's words as stories.

How have they ever seen the ferocity of wild boars?

"Brother Chen, let's take a photo together."

These female reporters really liked being close to Chen Ling as much as they saw Tang Monk's flesh.

After he finished speaking, he enthusiastically took a photo with him.

If Wang Susu hadn't come out with the baby in her arms to give them water, they could have pestered Chen Ling to finish shooting the film.

But as soon as Wang Susu appeared, they all dispersed automatically.

And I was also surprised by Wang Susu's appearance and temperament.

Especially the girls from the provincial and Taiwan provinces, they didn't take it seriously when they came, but now after seeing Wang Susu and Chen Ling standing together, they suddenly realized what a good match is.

Not to mention anything else, just by looking at their temperament, others can tell that these two people are a couple.

This is a very strange feeling.

It makes some girls feel very ashamed of themselves.

However, this strange feeling did not last long.

They were attracted by other things on the farm.

The beautiful fish in the water channel, various flocks of birds flying around in the orchard, and the brave egret that landed on the back of a buffalo not far away, as well as the egrets walking around in the circle

quail.

It's really dazzling.

After finally seeing the true face of Heiwa Xiaojin and seeing the kite in the farm.
