Chapter 503 Whitelist
Just like before, we will do it on a windless day.
The sun has set, leaving only a faint afterglow and no wind, which is perfect for spreading pesticides.
This agricultural sprayer is carried on the back. It is a large kettle of about 15 liters, which contains water mixed with medicine. There is a black hose connected to a metal nozzle on the side of the square blue kettle, which can atomize the medicine inside and spray it out.

After atomization, the medicine is sprayed more evenly, and the density of the mist can be adjusted by manually rotating the button according to the type of pesticide.
There is a motor inside the spray pot, so all you have to do is hold the spray head and walk forward, which is not very troublesome.
Zhao Yeqing walked slowly forward wearing a mask and a hood. In less than half an hour, he had sprayed all the cotton with pesticides.
I came home and washed my whole body before going into the kitchen.
Mu Xi stopped installing the retractable greenhouse after the sun went down and went home to cook dinner, which he had just finished.
There are lettuce with oyster sauce and sweet and sour fish that Zhao Yeqing mentioned several times last night.
Ever since the white sugar at home ran out, the two haven’t eaten sweet and sour dishes for several years, and they can’t make them with brown sugar.
Now that he had sugar and oyster sauce, Zhao Yeqing arranged the menu for this week clearly last night. Even the cherry tomatoes that were originally eaten as fruit had to be cut and mixed with sugar before being eaten.
She had been thinking about white sugar for a long time. Zhao Yeqing ate the golden and crispy fish meat dipped in the sweet and sour ketchup with a satisfied look on her face, recalling the tragic experience of wasting a lot of brown sugar just to make white sugar.
There was a torn copy of "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" at home, and Zhao Yeqing found a method of pouring yellow mud over sugar on it, which said that yellow mud could be used to turn brown sugar into refined white sugar.
The description is extremely simple, all you need is a conical filter, an appropriate amount of brown sugar and yellow mud.
She tried no less than ten times and wasted nearly five kilograms of pure brown sugar but still failed.
Either it can't be filtered out or it gets moldy.
After all the hard work, I still failed and had to give up.
Once again impressed by the exquisiteness of modern technology and looking at the crystal clear white sugar granules in the sugar jar, Zhao Yeqing felt that he had made the right decision to go to this city.
Mu Xi didn't say much during the dinner. Zhao Yeqing waved his hand in front of his dazed eyes, and when he came back to his senses, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's just that now I think everything went too smoothly..."
Zhao Yeqing actually had the same feeling. They gave it away as soon as they said they would, and the helicopter didn't take it away. A few cows, sheep and pigs were exchanged for so many things. Putting aside the issue of whether the value was equal, the trust came too suddenly.
It would be understandable if they came to the meadow and saw the business the two had built up over the years and confirmed that they had nothing to do with the organization. But why did they seem almost certain that the two were not bad people when they were in the city?
The two of them speculated and suspected but had no clue, so they simply washed up and went to bed. They didn't sleep well for two days outside.
After the retractable greenhouse at home was fully installed and tested to be able to operate normally, Mu Xi checked the circuit and said, "Next time I go to the city, I still have to get a new batch of wires and pipes to re-lay the circuit. The wires that are pulled out are not covered and are not safe from the sun and rain."
The switch was on the wall in the backyard. Zhao Yeqing was washing his hands next to the faucet behind the kitchen. "Okay, next time I'll go see if the hardware store or grocery store sells it."
I washed my hands thoroughly with the newly bought hand sanitizer and just sprinkled insect repellent on the edge of the fence. I happened to see that the wild vegetable seeds that I threw outside the backyard last year have actually grown this year.
However, not all vegetables grew. Basically, only the cauliflower survived and spread over a large area.
This thing usually only grows in places with relatively low altitudes, but this year a large patch of it could be seen behind the house. Zhao Yeqing was surprised and delighted. After washing the insect repellent on his hands, he hurried out to pick a small handful.
In the villages near Meishan, cauliflower is called chili grass because its leaves look very similar to chili leaves.

The cauliflower is very fresh and tender now. You can just pick the tips and make soup with them. You can taste the flavor of spring in one bite.
Even though it tastes good, you can't eat too much of it as it is slightly toxic. However, eating a small amount can be good for your body.
But there is such a big patch growing behind it that I can only eat a little bit every day and can’t finish it. I will get old after a while.
Zhao Yeqing planned to get some wild vegetables to sell when she went to the city next time, such as spring bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and cauliflower. They wouldn't sell for much money, and she estimated that the nearby mountain people would also take them to sell. She thought that if she couldn't sell them, she would give them to the old man.
It is simple and practical, and it allows me to thank him for giving me so many things, and it doesn't cost any money. There is no better deal.
Zhao Yeqing also specifically reminded him, "Next time you meet someone, put on a smile on your face. Don't be so serious all the time. As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person."
The next visit was scheduled for a few days later, and the two of them had to deliver the sheep that Brother Zhao wanted.
Fortunately, goat meat tastes better than mutton. In the past two years, we have almost always killed goats for food, so there are a lot more sheep. Last time, I gave two to my assistant and gave two to Brother Zhao. We still have four or five sheep at home.
The day before leaving for the city, I took the two sheep out separately, cleaned them, and tied them in the yard with ropes. I put clean grass on the ground and let them dry themselves outside so that they could be loaded onto the plane the next day.
Otherwise, everywhere will be dirty.
Before the two sheep got on the plane, their four hooves were tied up, and they were unable to move. Only then did they rise into the sky with their bodies stiff.
After getting the paint last time, within two days, the two of them painted the black helicopter white so that it would not be too conspicuous when going out during the day.
The main reason was that Zhao Yeqing was too disgusted with the aesthetics of the previous villains.
The black fuselage is painted with strange colors of spray paint on it, and it is obvious that it is not a serious helicopter.
The pure white helicopter landed this time in an open space no longer a hundred kilometers away. The last time Mu Xi asked his assistant, he learned that there were already very advanced detection equipment that could detect various data of the aircraft, as well as super-high-power cameras and observers working in shifts around the clock.
So before their helicopter took off last time and returned home, they simply removed the outdated shielding system and added the aircraft to the official whitelist.
This time they flew directly into the city and landed on the helipad near the food plot where they were going to meet the old man.
The cargo plane that flew to the meadow last time also stopped here.
After I got off the plane, someone came over to do the security check.
