Chapter 700 Beanworm and Tussah Silkworm Are Different Species

"I caught a bug." In the soybean field in Liangpo Village, Lantian County, four-year-old Xiao Zi was holding a small basket as she caught bean bugs.

Xiao Zi's face is pink and tender, and the hair in the two horn braids is not yellow at all.

Once she wore small clothes and pants, even the dirt on her sandals could not hide her cuteness.

She was not what she looked like now last summer. At that time, she was skinny and thin, and her hair was tied behind her head with a straw rope.

Then her family started planting them in a greenhouse, and in less than a year, they grew beautifully.

Now is the time when bean bugs are growing best and are getting ready to burrow into the soil for the winter.

People who had soybean fields at home began to catch the insects and then find places to raise them.

Once the winter wheat is harvested next year and the land is plowed, it can be planted.

In Jingzhaofu, one crop of winter wheat is planted, followed by another crop of soybeans or sorghum.

The grain plot is dedicated to growing grain, and the vegetable plot is dedicated to growing vegetables.

The method of raising bean insects was announced, and the people of Jingzhao Mansion chose to believe it completely.

Lose ten pounds of beans in exchange for a hundred pounds of worms.

If others don't buy it, Li Jia Zhuangzi will take it, the price is high, or they can make the stuffing themselves.

Even His Majesty can eat it. Dongzhu Li ate it when he was having a barbecue.

Why can't I eat it myself? It is said that eating this bug is similar to eating an egg.

The adults look for bugs, and four-year-old Xiao Zi actively participates.

Adults have psychological barriers when catching bugs, but children do not. When they catch bugs, they feel fleshy and soft.

If she is not told not to eat, she will open her mouth and bite.

Four village officials, Wang Xu, accompanied Xiao Zi and helped find bugs.

"Another Doudou." Xiao Zi's eyesight is actually not as good as that of adults. She needs to grow up to have better eyesight.

But she is focused and very patient. She treats catching bugs as a game, a game she plays with adults.

"Xiao Zi, are you thirsty?" Xia Hao raised his arm, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his arm that had many red scratches, and asked Xiao Zi.

"If you don't drink water, catch beans and insects." Xiao Zi moved the small basket and squatted down slightly to be as tall as the bean sprouts.

The reason why she doesn't find bugs any slower than adults is because of her height.

She stood up and could see the bugs on the bean stalks.

As soon as she squatted down, she saw the insects on the back of the leaves.

The adults were tired from squatting and standing up, but the children did not feel tired. The adults could only hold the leaves with their hands and turn them over to look for insects, so there were marks on the backs of their hands and arms.

Xiaozi turned Doudou into Doudou and Chongchong. She felt that the smaller one was called Doudou and the older one was called Chongchong.

The big bean bug was longer than her little hand. When she held it, it looked like a whole work of art, with strong contrast.

"Li Yifei said that bugs are delicious and asked everyone to raise bugs and work hard." Chai Baohong found that the work of catching bugs was hot and tiring.

"Insects eat leaves. Dongzhu Li said it was good, and the people believed it."

Wang Xu didn't know how worms and eggs could be compared together. He only knew what Li Yi said and the people were sure to listen.

"I feel like I haven't been able to help. I live in the village for free. I can't even be a village official."

Zhu An looked through the leaves one by one looking for insects, looking depressed.

He once had ambitions and thought he had talent, but what he lacked was an opportunity.

As long as he passes the imperial examination and is allowed to serve as an official, his talents can be used to open up territories for His Majesty and educate the people.

Finally, the opportunity came. No need to take the exam, I could become an official in the village.

When he first came here, he felt that he was being overqualified. Now he feels that he is useless and understands nothing.

I just learned how to keep accounts, but I haven’t figured out how long it takes to grow cucumbers and eggplants in a greenhouse.

Cucumbers and eggplants in greenhouses grow slowly, unlike those in the field.

After asking for advice from people who have grown vegetables in greenhouses, I realized that when growing vegetables in greenhouses in winter, you need to dip the flowers in them, so that you can bear more fruits.

"At least we can cook for ourselves." Wang Xu was more optimistic. They finally made a fire secretly while eating the village food.

They learned this in the past when other people were lighting a fire. They helped pass firewood to others, and then they could also use fire sticks to make fire.

What to cook, how long to cook, how much water to put under the curtain in the cauldron, whether to stew and steam rice or boil rice and steam vegetables...

They didn't help much with administrative convenience, but they did the work and learned a lot of survival skills.

"I want to know if Li Yi can cook by himself?" Chai Baohong wanted to compare with Li Yi, but he could.

Zhu An found two big bugs and quickly put them into the basket: "Li Yi made many kinds of stir-fry dishes. He must know a lot."

"Of course my Li Lang can do everything. When I grow up, I want to marry Li Lang. Li Lang plays with me and makes delicious food for me. Giggle, giggle~~"

Xiao Zi suddenly answered and felt inexplicably happy.

four people:"……"

Not just in Liangpo Village, but everywhere in Jingzhao Prefecture where there are bean fields, insects are being looked for.

Bean bugs do not necessarily live in bean fields. They eat grape leaves, sesame leaves, and hemp leaves. They are also found on the leaves of perilla and perilla, which are used as spices and medicinals.

I used to stomp on bugs like this when I saw them, but now I catch them quickly.

Once you know how to raise it, in the current months, once you bury it with sand and soil, the big bugs will stay inside and stop moving.

Occasionally if someone doesn't want to sleep, just crawl out, feed them some leaves, and bury them inside.

You can eat it now, or you can wait until next year to turn into pupae and continue to raise moths to lay eggs.

Anyway, as long as you see it, you know that this thing can be eaten and it will not harm any crops.

If it really doesn't work, don't eat beans and grapes, just eat insects all day.

Li Yi is now staring at the insects in a daze. The leader of the Khitan, Li Shihuo, came to Chang'an, saying that he was apologizing, but in fact no one could do anything to him.

He brought some human bodies, furs, and dried meat as gifts.

He actually brought a portion to Li Yi, saying that when Li Yi's team went there to trade, they had rescued more than 1,500 people from the Tang Dynasty.

When asked about Li Yi's hobbies, Li Yi likes to collect things, flowers and plants, insects and birds.

Flowers and plants were not given, and birds were not given, but insects were given.

"Is this raised for mulberry leaves all the way? But I can't raise it either. Our Jingzhao Prefecture... has tussah silkworms, but there are too few."

Li Yi was worried about the two baskets of big green worms. He wanted to eat them, but he also wanted to raise them.

If he wanted to raise them, he had to take them to the wild, put the worms on the leaves of the tussah, and then make cocoons.

With the cocoon, you can cut it open and eat it, or wait for it to turn into a moth over the winter, and then collect the small insects to continue raising it.

Zhuangzi is obviously not suitable for raising this thing, and must take it to the wild. Is it necessary to build a oak forest for tussah silkworms?

Li Chengqi watched from the side and asked: "Is he making things difficult for you?"

"Li Shihuo? Can he understand silkworms? Others can learn to farm, but if you want to learn to raise silkworms, you have to wait."

Li Yi didn't think Li Shihuo was going to make trouble.

The silkworms of the Tang Dynasty were just there, and you could take them at will. Others would not be able to raise them. It was much more difficult than farming.

Only later, some countries knew how to raise them a little bit.

It can't compare with China, but it still refers to mulberry silkworms.

If it's tussah silkworms, Henan and Hebei don't speak, and the Northeast doesn't make a sound, who dares to call? Especially Liaoning in the Northeast.
