Haiyan Heqing Four O’clock Days - Chapter 95

  Chapter 95 [Chanju Qiufeng] Frost-bearing fruit branches blooming, the snow is still late and the weather is cold [frosty·Fifth]

  White flowers on black background drive people to sleep,

  Hiding in the house for fear of the cold.

  Qilu land is busy with farming,

   Fighting for radish is not due to gluttony.

——

  Going a little bit south, we reached the farmland and the wilds. The sound of “buzzing” has been accompanied by the ears along the way.

  Frostfall showed its power, trying to use the wind to help Kyushu blast away that noisy thing, but it was not successful. The noisy bug also bit a big bag on Kyushu’s finger, which was very itchy and painful.

——

  China China Shenzhou Qilu Land————

  The land of Qilu is still busy with farming. Some places are busy harvesting, and some are busy planting seeds.

  Of course, now the weather is getting colder and colder, and most of the things I grow are quick-cooking dishes. The radishes and cabbage were planted in the early autumn, and now they have gradually grown a little.

  Farmers are busy in the fields, and the noisy bugs with black and white patterns are better to fly around Kyushu without feeling tired, and want to wait for an opportunity to bite out a big bag for Kyushu.

  This bug, if not new, is the most common mosquito in summer. At the end of autumn, these mosquitoes may feel that they are dead soon, and they bite people like crazy.

  People say “mosquitoes from frost drop their heads in a few days.” But they forget that mosquitoes bite people the most itchy at this time. After all, this is the last trace left by their hard work in this world.

  Not to mention the impact of mosquitoes on plants at this time.

  Look at it—this mosquito got into the field after not getting any benefits in Kyushu, sucking the juice of the plants. As a result, the lives of these plants are threatened, and the harvest of the farmers who grow these crops cannot be guaranteed.

  Meng Jiuzhou had heard of this before, and looked at the mosquitoes flying away from him and rushing to the field a little worried. Suddenly regretting it is better to be bitten. If the mosquitoes are full, they will not ruin those plants anymore.

   Thinking of this, Kyushu stared at the movement of the mosquito, but did not expect the mosquito to fly…fly…

  Flying purposefully changed its appearance. The mosquitoes rammed around like a headless fly, swaying from side to side for a while.

   Then it shook, as if it could no longer flap its wings, and then the “buzzing” that often accompanies mosquitoes flying was also small and inaudible.

   Suddenly, the mosquito headed down and fell straight down. Following the direction where the mosquito fell, Kyushu saw the rising light smoke-it turned out that it was an experienced farmer who burned the wormwood in the field, and the smoke stunned the mosquitoes!

Looking at the crops above the smoke, there are no small insects on the leaves that grow in piles in summer, only one or two are frozen and stiff, curled up, and carefully peddles for themselves The caterpillar of the silk house has no strength to move again.

  Not far away, farmers are pulling radishes, and the huge radishes are pulled out of the field by the farmers.

  Green radishes with a greenish-white gradient can be eaten as fruits. The farmers did not drink water when they had a break at noon. They peeled a green radish and took a bite. It was crispy and sweet, with a slight spiciness, just to dispel the frosty air.

  One day later, most of the radishes in the entire field were pulled out, and the farmers piled up the radishes with their cars and sent them to the vegetable cellar that had been dug a long time ago.

  Leave a few radishes to take home, some are made into evening meals, and some are handed over to the home cooks to make radish sticks and dried.

As for the radishes in the vegetable cellar, they are no longer reserved for the winter to eat in the winter as they did decades ago. The buyers have been contacted and sold to the cities, and the farmers who have made money will take them. In exchange for some other food, the table is no longer full of carrots and cabbage in winter.
