Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

Chapter 57 Locust Extermination Plan 1



Just pour the four things of wormwood, cocklebur, alum and realgar into the water and boil, soak the dry grass in it for half an hour, let it dry and light the dry grass, the smoke from the dry grass can kill the locusts.

However, this method has a disadvantage, that is, if a person inhales a large amount of smoke, it will cause certain harm to the body.

Seeing this, Jiang Ling sighed helplessly and muttered, "Hey, it would be great if there were masks in this era."

"Mask?" Jiang Ling looked up at his clothes to dry, and a thought suddenly popped out of Jiang Ling's mind.

Early the next morning, Uncle Lu appeared at the door of Jiang Ling's house driving the ox cart with a tired face.

The road was terribly quiet, and Uncle Lu didn't have the spirit he used to. He sat alone in front of the bullock cart, waving his whip or sighing softly from time to time.

Jiang Ling knew that yesterday's locusts had caused quite a panic to the farmers, and her plan had to be tested as soon as possible.

The ox cart stopped at Li Shanren's door. As soon as Jiang Ling got out of the car, Ah Fu came over. Seeing Jiang Ling, he quickly asked, "Auntie, do you have any more mint cream? Our master may need some more."

"Huh? Your master used so much in a day?" Jiang Ling asked in surprise.

"Auntie, you don't know that your mint ointment was sold out in less than an hour after our master sent someone to get it to the rouge shop yesterday. The owner of the rouge shop even came to our master's mansion to ask if there is any more." Ah Fu said with a smile.

Jiang Ling was even more surprised when she heard the words, she didn't expect that her peppermint ointment would become popular in Changning Town overnight.

As soon as she was brought to the inner courtyard by Ah Fu, she saw Li Shanren waiting for her. Li Shanren came to Jiang Ling in three steps at a time, and he asked with a look of expectation: "Mr. ...Do you still have that peppermint cream?"

Jiang Ling patted the bamboo tube and said, "Yes, I made twenty yesterday, how many do Li Shanren need?"

Li Shanren smiled at first, but when Jiang Ling said that there were only twenty, he shook his head and said, "Oh, this is too little, Mrs. Jiang, can I reserve a hundred with you in advance?"

"One hundred? This...you think highly of folk women too much. Let's not talk about the production process. One hundred requires at least three hundred catties of raw materials." Jiang Ling said, covering her slightly surprised mouth.

"It's not difficult. Mrs. Jiang, I have plenty of people here. You just need to say where to pick this thing, let alone three hundred catties, three thousand catties will be fine." Li Shanren stroked his beard and said.

After hearing this, Jiang Ling shook her head and said to Li Shanren: "You don't know, Li Shanren. Although these raw materials are everywhere in the back mountain, I took them back from the children with two copper coins and a basket on my back."

"It's not easy for a farmer. They all face the loess and their backs to the sky. Whether they can eat depends on God. If you really let the servants and servants go to the back mountain, wouldn't it cut off their few ways to make money? "

After Li Shanren heard this, he looked at Jiang Ling in surprise. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He stroked his beard and said, "Mr. Jiang, I underestimated you before. I didn't expect you to be a woman." To say such a thing.”

"Then how many can you make in a day?" Li Shanren continued to ask.

Jiang Ling thought for a while and stretched out three fingers and said, "Currently, it should be up to [-] a day, but I will continue to sell mint water, so it may be lower than this amount."

Li Shanren thought for a while and continued: "Then how about I ask the boy to pick it up once every five days? How about I buy it for a box of forty copper plates?"

Although Li Shanren's words sounded very tempting, Jiang Ling shook his head unexpectedly.

She rubbed her chin and said: "Li Shanren, you know that the secret recipe of folk recipes is not spread out. If this thing is really popular in the future, I can't supply it to your home alone. If you need it, I will pay you twenty copper coins a piece." What do you think of the boxes for sale?"

Jiang Ling's words stunned Li Shanren for a moment, and he began to carefully look at the dark-skinned and thin village woman in patched clothes from top to bottom.He always felt that the woman in front of him was not simple.

After a long time, he stroked his beard and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Okay! Then follow what you said, but you need to give me one hundred in advance!"

Jiang Ling nodded in agreement, and after some conversation, Li Shanren happily called Ah Fu and asked him to guide Jiang Ling to the back kitchen while he was busy with other things.

Jiang Ling looked at all the tools in the back kitchen, and said slowly with several servant girls: "Now I will teach you how to mash spicy herbs!"

As he spoke, Jiang Ling took out the mint from the back basket and put it in the tool and began to demonstrate the operation steps.

This step doesn't require any skills, just some patience, and soon these maids and servants are all doing well, and after a while, they smashed all the mints and put them aside.

Jiang Ling checked it carefully, and then said to them: "Thank you for your hard work today! Go back!"

After all the maids and servants left, Jiang Ling closed the kitchen door and began to operate the previous steps. After a while, several large bowls of syrup had been made by Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling first poured two bowls of syrup into the bamboo tube, then opened the door of the kitchen, and looked around. The little girl who opened the door for Jiang Ling last time was sitting lazily and dozing off quietly not far away. .

Jiang Ling quietly walked to the little girl's side, and patted the little girl's shoulder. The little girl didn't seem to expect that someone would come, so she stood up in a panic.

Turning around and seeing Jiang Ling, he patted his chest and said, "Oh, auntie, you scared me to death!"

"Little girl is ready, who do I look for?" Jiang Ling pursed her lips and smiled.

"Oh, auntie, you finished things so quickly? You wait for me to call for someone!" As she said that, the little girl quickly ran in one direction with her skirt lifted.

After a while, Ah Fu and the little girl appeared in front of Jiang Ling together. Ah Fu looked at Jiang Ling in surprise and asked, "Sister-in-law, have you finished everything?"

Jiang Ling nodded, and walked to the kitchen with Ah Fu and the little girl.

Jiang Ling pointed to the steaming sugar syrup and said: "You have ice cubes at home, you can put less water and more ice cubes to cool down the temperature. The ratio should be the same as before!"

After hearing this, Ah Fu quickly asked people to prepare a basin. There were a lot of ice cubes and some water in the basin. Ah Fu walked to the stove, carefully poured the bowl containing syrup into the basin, and stirred it evenly with a spoon. Put a little in a bowl and taste it carefully.

"Well, it tastes like this, but auntie's mint water seems to be sweeter than the previous one." Ah Fu put down the bowl and said.

"This is normal, because you put ice cubes in the basin, and if the ice cubes melt, the taste will be lighter." Jiang Ling explained.

Ah Fu nodded after hearing this, Jiang Ling suddenly thought of something, she opened her mouth and asked: "Ah Fu, where is your master?"

"Our master is in the inner hall, auntie, are you looking for our master? I'll take you there!" As he spoke, Ah Fu led Jiang Ling towards the inner hall.

"Master Li, the woman has an unfeeling request." Jiang Ling said after seeing Li Shanren.
