Chapter 11 Extreme Heat
The best way to repel mosquitoes with mugwort is to burn it. Its special smell can quickly drive away mosquitoes. As a medicinal material, it also has antibacterial, antiviral, dehumidifying, and menstrual regulating effects.
Applying mugwort on your body or spraying it on your clothes can also effectively repel mosquitoes.
If the room is filled with mugwort, you can escape the disaster.
When the outside temperature reaches above 70 degrees, even heat-resistant mosquitoes cannot survive.
Lu Zhifeng stood by the river holding his daughter, but he didn't catch any fish because he saw some strange insect eggs in the water.
When Jiang Siyi reminded him, he squatted down and took a closer look. It turned out to be a small worm that had not yet formed into a mosquito.
It would be so terrifying if all these big eggs hatched.
Lu Zhifeng hugged his daughter tightly, said thank you to Jiang Si, and hurried to find mugwort.
Jiang Si looked at the forest protection gun on Lu Zhifeng's back and felt a little envious.
She bought so many equipment, but none of them could match the powerful forest ranger gun in Lu Zhifeng's hand.
The Longquan Forest Nature Reserve is quite large, and there are many poachers. Lu Zhifeng became the captain of the forest ranger team a few years ago, and he should have more than one forest ranger gun.
If the timing is right, maybe I can use some supplies to exchange a rod from Lu Zhifeng.
Jiang Linhai asked Jiang Si, "Should we also get some mugwort?"
Their house is close to the back mountain, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the summer, so they planted some in the yard. Seeing such dense insect eggs, Jiang Linhai's scalp tingled, and he felt that what they had at home was far from enough.
Mugwort has many benefits, so naturally the more the better.
Jiang Si nodded, "Well, let's get some more to take home!"
Jiang Linhai knew where there was a large amount of mugwort, and the father and daughter harvested it in no time and got several large bundles.
There are also many people harvesting around, not to prevent mosquitoes, but to use it for firewood.
Suddenly, a tall figure walked out from the edge of the forest.
Everyone looked up and exclaimed in surprise.
Qin Shen actually caught two huge wild boars again!
Are wild boars that easy to catch?!
Fearing that they would have no meat to eat in the future, many people no longer had bacon on the table at home. Seeing Qin Shen catch wild boars one after another, everyone became envious and wanted to catch wild boars too.
The bacon made from the two pigs in Jiang Si's family is enough for them to eat for a long time, and there are also many other meat products in the space.
She was not interested in the wild boar Qin Shen had caught, but Qin Shen took the initiative to walk up to her and said, "Do you want a wild boar? I need salt."
Jiang Si was a little surprised that among so many people, he chose to talk to him.
Maybe their house is close, making it convenient to exchange wild boar meat?
Local people have the habit of making sauerkraut, and they buy salt in boxes.
Domestic pigs couldn't stand the high temperature, so every household killed them. Some families didn't even raise a pig, and they felt dizzy from eating vegetarian food.
Jiang Si thought for a moment, "How much pork can I get in exchange for three bags of salt?"
Others pricked up their ears as well.
Qin Shen pointed casually, "A hind leg."
A wild boar's hind leg weighs twenty pounds and can be exchanged for only three bags of salt.
This is a good thing!
Before Jiang Si agreed, the person next to him rushed in and said, "I'll change, I'll change, three bags of salt, right? Let's go home and get them now!"
Qin Shen looked at them and said, "She goes first!" Then he looked at Jiang Si and asked meticulously, "Is that okay?"
There are many ways to consume salt. Qin Shen wants salt probably to preserve food.
Three bags of salt are really a good deal.
Jiang Si nodded: "Change."
"Then I'll cut the wild boar meat and you bring the salt over in exchange," Qin Shen said.
"good."
Zhang Mayi was a relative of my grandmother's. He wanted to exchange for wild boar meat, but he couldn't come up with three bags of salt, so he set his sights on Jiang Linhai.
Zhang Mayi said with a smile, "Lin Hai, we are all family. Please lend me three bags of salt in exchange for wild boar meat. I will send you some millet later."
:
Zhang Mayi is the most stingy person in the village. Jiang Linhai doesn't believe that he would send millet if he got wild boar meat.
Jiang Linhai looked directly at Qin Shen and asked, "Can millet also be exchanged for wild boar meat?"
Qin Shen nodded, "Okay, one hundred kilograms of millet for twenty kilograms of wild boar meat."
The price of wild boar meat that could be exchanged for three bags of salt suddenly increased to one hundred kilograms of millet in exchange for twenty kilograms of pork.
Zhang Mayi was unwilling to do so. "Lin Hai, you have so much salt at home. It's just three bags of salt. Don't be so petty."
Jiang Linhai shook his head and said seriously, "There's not much left at home from making sauerkraut. Three bags of salt is the most we can squeeze out. If it weren't for the children eating meat, I wouldn't be willing to change it."
Zhang Mayi's face choked, but he continued to say, "Then your house is close to Qin Shen's. Please help me get a hundred kilograms of millet first, and I will return it to you later."
The weather was so hot that Jiang Linhai was too lazy to argue with him. "No, we don't have much millet to begin with. Okay, let's stop talking. I'm going to get sunburned if I keep talking."
Jiang Linhai immediately interrupted the conversation, not giving Zhang Mayi any chance to take advantage. He was so angry that he stamped his feet. "You won't even help with such a small matter. You don't even acknowledge family affection. You've lived all these years in vain. You're so selfish!"
Jiang Linhai ignored him and carried Ai Cao and Jiang Si home.
Zhang Mayi saw Qin Shen surrounded and the wild boar meat was almost sold out, so he hurried forward and said, "I'll give you half a bag of salt in exchange for ten pounds of pork loin."
"No."
Zhang Mayi said angrily, "Thigh meat isn't as good as leg tendon meat. You should be content with half a packet of salt."
Qin Shen picked up the wild boar meat and was about to leave.
Zhang Mayi stopped him and said, "You are so young, how come you don't have any manners? You put too much pork in it, and without salt, it will go bad in two days. I gave you half a bag, which is good enough. It's better than letting it rot and get maggots."
Qin Shen gave him a cold look and said, "Get out of the way!"
Zhang Mayi refused and insisted on exchanging half a pound of salt for ten pounds of pork loin. When people around him said he was shameless, he shouted that Qin Shen was the son of a murderer and that anyone who ate his wild boar meat would be poisoned to death.
"ah--"
A shrill scream echoed through the sky.
Zhang Mayi was kicked to the edge of the field by Qin Shen. Those who originally wanted to exchange wild boar meat with Qin Shen suddenly didn't dare to do so.
The murderer gene is hereditary. Qin Shen said he would do it, and if he really poisoned them, he would have no way to explain himself after he died.
When Jiang Si returned home, he did not rush to get the wild boar meat. Instead, he burned mugwort in places where mosquitoes might sneak into the house, sprayed them with strong insecticide, and put two layers of gauze in all the rooms they entered and exited.
Even the toilet was temporarily blocked, and a temporary toilet was used. The collected natural waste was put into the space to water the vegetable garden.
Finally, he directed Jiang Chengwu and Jiang Linhai to build a special honeycomb secret door structure at the entrance.
If you really have to go out temporarily, you can minimize the number of mosquitoes coming in.
She asked Jiang Linhai to go to Qin Shen's house to get the wild boar leg. Standing at the window and observing, she found that a large group of people were rushing towards their house.
They seemed to be knocking on doors and trying to stop villagers. They must be people who had fled from the city looking for food and water to survive.
There are so many of them, like a swarm of locusts passing through.
If the villagers refused to give them food, they would kidnap them and rush into their homes.
Just a few seconds after Jiang Si picked up the telescope, he saw that the doors of several houses in the village had been smashed open.
