Chapter 407: Snail Prince
Song Jinyuan scratched his head, feeling helpless.
"this……"
Xia Ning covered her lips and said, "It's okay, you guys go back, I'll take care of him."
"Okay, let's go then."
After Song Jinyuan and Miao left for a while, Song Yuntang came with a small bottle.
Seeing Xu Wencheng squatting on the grass pitifully, with his hands raised above his head like a mushroom, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xia Ning could no longer restrain himself and his shoulders were shaking with laughter.
The two of them couldn't help laughing as they fed Xu Wencheng the detoxification pill. Only then did Song Yuntang look at Xia Ning.
"You stay here and watch over him. Don't leave until he's feeling better. If anything happens, contact me immediately."
Xia Ning nodded, "Yes."
…
The next day, Song Yuntang looked at Xu Wencheng with a smile.
"You're not going to say you're a mushroom today?"
Xu Wencheng looked a little embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, please forget about this matter, but don't tell anyone, I still have to save my face."
In fact, when he woke up in the morning, he had almost forgotten what happened yesterday. It was Xia Ning who told him because he was curious about how he got back yesterday.
Song Yuntang gave him an unpleasant look.
"You know you need to save face, but why do you still eat randomly?"
Xu Wencheng scratched his head.
"I won't dare to do that again."
Song Yuntang continued, "The weather has been humid recently, and a lot of things have grown in the mountains, but many of them are poisonous. Don't eat anything you don't recognize. Next time you go up the mountain, you can ask Aunt Miao to prepare some dry food for you. Don't treat yourself like a savage."
Xu Wencheng chuckled.
"knew."
"Luckily you didn't eat much this time. If anything bad happened, I don't know how to explain to your parents and your eldest brother." She took out two bottles from the medicine box. "One bottle is detoxification pills, and the other is medicine for wounds. There are many snakes, insects, ants and beasts in the mountains. Take them with you when you go into the mountains in the future just in case."
Xu Wencheng reached out and took it.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Song Yuntang wanted to laugh when he thought of how he squatted in the bushes and caught mushrooms yesterday.
She suppressed the smile on her lips.
"Go and do your thing."
"Hey." Xu Wencheng turned around and took two steps, then turned back and looked at Song Yuntang's frozen smile. He scratched his head awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, laugh if you want to."
After saying that, he ran away.
Song Yuntang covered his mouth and laughed for a while, almost laughing to tears.
…
Qiao Da came hurriedly.
"Boss, before I came here today, I heard from the villagers that locusts have appeared in the fields."
Song Yuntang calculated the days and found that it had been almost half a month since Qiao Daqiao went to the county town to inform her. The current climate was suitable for the hatching of locust eggs, so there would probably be more and more of them in the future.
Before I knew it, she had been back for half a month.
Although life in Zhuangzi was comfortable, after being separated from Xu Qingye for such a long time, he still missed her a little in his heart.
But right now, the most important thing is to resolve the crisis.
"How are the fields on our farm?"
"We have sprayed pesticides on the fields on the farm and cleaned up locust eggs every day. The situation is much better now. We haven't seen any signs of it yet," said Qiao Da.
"I want to get news about the locusts. Has Uncle Joe released them all?" she asked again.
"I've already told you that before we came to the village, many people in our village took their tools to catch locusts in the fields today."
Song Yuntang nodded. "I asked you to make some moxa sticks a few days ago. Light them on the fields to prevent locusts from approaching, especially on the dry land where sweet potatoes and peppers are planted."
Although sweet potatoes are underground, if the leaves are damaged by locusts, it will still affect the sweet potato harvest.
Qiao Da responded, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
After Song Yuntang packed up, he went to the fields to check the situation.
It was better than she had imagined. The green crops were growing strong and lush. If they were not destroyed by locusts, the harvest this year should be good.
She walked towards the Jiang family's farm next door. With her reminder, the Jiang family had taken precautions early, and there were not many locusts in the farmland.
Occasionally one would jump out and be caught by Song Yuntang to take a look at.
"When drought strikes, locusts will appear. These locusts are quite large. It looks like the food is good."
If a place is originally dry and rainless and suddenly experiences an increase in rainfall, it will lead to a locust plague, and vice versa.
This kind of locust is non-toxic when it is alone, but if the density of locusts is too high, they may have no medicinal or edible value.
According to the current prevention and control measures, locusts can be collected temporarily before the number of locusts increases.
Anyway, she'll be watching here for the time being, so nothing should go wrong.
…
After walking around the farm, Song Yuntang returned to the courtyard.
The yard was so quiet that I thought there was no one there.
"Xia Ning, has the second batch of mugwort arrived from the county?"
Xia Ning clasped his fists and said, "Just now Qiao Da came to see his subordinates and said that the medicinal materials have been delivered and they are stepping up the production of moxa sticks."
After being made into moxa sticks, they can burn longer, which can save a lot of medicinal materials.
"After it's done, send some to the Jiang family's farm next door." Then Song Yuntang looked at Xia Ning as if he had thought of something, "I remember last year Tu Shi planted a circle of taro at the foot of the newly opened wasteland. Go dig some for us. After lunch, peel the taro and we'll stew it for dinner."
"yes."
After Xia Ning bowed, he turned and walked towards the adobe house.
Song Yuntang rubbed his shoulders and just as he stepped into the courtyard, he smelled the fragrance wafting from the direction of the kitchen in the new courtyard.
There was some confusion on her face.
These days at the farm, Aunt Miao would prepare meals in the front yard and then ask Xia Ning to bring them to her. She had only used the kitchen in the new yard three times when she felt like it.
There was usually no one else in the new yard, except her and Xia Ning, and Xu Wencheng. But didn’t Xu Wencheng go out early in the morning?
Thinking of this, she walked towards the kitchen.
When he got closer and caught a glimpse of a tall figure standing in the kitchen from afar, a look of surprise flashed in Song Yuntang's eyes.
The man was wearing a light blue gown and was busy working inside with his sleeves rolled up.
He looks as focused when cooking as when reading.
His calm and peaceful appearance always made her feel inexplicably at ease.
"Why are you back?" Song Yuntang walked towards him quickly.
Hearing the sound, the man turned his head to look outside the kitchen, his deep brows showing a gentle smile.
"The teacher had to go to the provincial capital for something, and someone happened to be too busy to leave, so I followed the carriage that brought the mugwort back from the clinic."
Song Yuntang took a closer look with a joking tone.
"What delicious food did Mr. Tianluo make for me today?"
Xu Qingye didn't know what Mr. Tianluo meant, so he didn't ask much. He placed the steamed buns he had made next to the pot of stewed chicken and said, "I stewed the chicken for you with mushrooms, blanched some steamed buns, and fried some vegetables later and we'll have dinner."
He put all the steamed buns on the edge of the pot, covered the pot, then opened the steamer next to it, took out a piece of cake and put it next to Song Yuntang's mouth.
"The sweet-scented osmanthus cake has just been steamed. The temperature is just right. Try it."
