Chapter 87 The specific situation of the large farm

The three girls carried their burdens along the path between the pig farm and the chicken farm, and soon came to the edge of the artificial lake.

As soon as you catch the eye, in addition to the sparkling artificial lake scenery, the most eye-catching thing is the two large lighthouses located in the artificial lake.

The large lighthouse with a height of 18 meters was something Chen Lin had seen from a distance before when she came to Wang Qiang's house.

But when I came near them, I really understood how shocking these two majestic and simple lighthouses would be!

The top of each large lighthouse stands tall like a large pot lid. Under the big pot lid, there are more than a dozen large light bulbs neatly surrounding it.

The lake water has submerged the huge base of the big lighthouse, making the big lighthouse seem to emerge from the artificial lake, standing straight in the extremely clear lake water.

I guess after the big lighthouse is powered on, the night view of Brother Aqiang’s house will be a dreamlike feeling.

A canal about one meter wide and half a meter deep, made of bluestone slabs, winds from Dacha Mountain.

The gurgling mountain spring water is poured from the canal into the artificial lake, and then flows along the water outlet on the other side with a two-layer bamboo fence to block the fish, to the large ditch built by Wang Qiang last year outside the bamboo forest, and then converges into

Tea river.

"quack……"

"Oh oh oh..."

Hundreds of ducks and geese are swimming and playing in the artificial lake, or they are lowering their heads to catch small fish, or they are fluttering and flying in the lake, which is pleasant and comfortable.

In the clear lake water, you can see many fish from time to time, most of them wandering around in groups, looking for their food.

The shallow water area around the lake is empty except for a small pier made of bluestone. The other places are full of lotus seedlings.

When the lotus flowers bloom, it will be a beautiful pastoral picture that makes people forget to leave.

What caught Chen Lin's attention was the small island located in the middle of the artificial lake.

On the micro-island, which is only one acre in size, there is a circle of sparse willow trees planted on the edge. The willow trees have sprouted branches and look full of vitality.

On the island, there is also a bluestone road in the shape of a Tai Chi pattern S, which divides the island in the middle and runs through the entire island, embellishing the place with an ancient charm.

In the middle of the island, there is a pavilion that looks very simple and exquisite.

There is also a set of bluestone tables and chairs, and the floor is also paved with bluestone slabs, which looks very clean and tidy.

It must be very poetic to go boating to the island to drink tea and relax in the summer and autumn of the year.

How could Chen Lin, who never travels far, see such beautiful scenery?

For a moment, she seemed crazy...

It took a while before I came back to my senses.

"Sister Yu'er, what on earth did your brother build these two big lighthouses for?"

Chen Lin asked Wanyu beside her with some confusion, "If it is used for lighting, as a street lamp in your home, there is no need to build it so tall, right?"

She asked a good question, because most people would think so if they saw these two big lighthouses.

If you want to use it for lighting, just build some lamp posts around the big villa and beside the gatehouse. There is no need to spend so much energy and labor to build such a huge and spectacular lighthouse.

"My brother said that these two large lighthouses are used as street lights at night, and they only have a supporting role."

Wanyu explained, "The biggest function of these two large lighthouses is to trap and kill flying insects when they are all lit up at night."

"There are so many flying insects at night now. My brother said that by using the phototaxis of most flying insects, we can attract the surrounding flying insects at night, and they will keep circling and flying around the big lighthouse."

"Until they are exhausted from flying, they will fall into the lake below the big lighthouse and drown."

"Drown flying insects can become food for some fish, oh, and frogs."

"In this way, not only will a large number of flying insects be killed, but a large number of fish and frogs will also be raised, and most of the pests and diseases in our fields and forests will be eliminated. This will kill three birds with one stone."

She suddenly said excitedly, "The most important thing is that these two big lighthouses are very beautiful! Look at the two circles of big light bulbs. If they light up at night, I don't know how beautiful they will be!"

"It's a pity that my brother said that we won't be able to put these two large lighthouses into operation until our Jiangbei Village officially gets electricity in a few months."

"ah……"

Chen Lin's little mouth opened wider and wider as she listened. Her big, watery eyes widened with disbelief on her face, "This... such a tall and beautiful lighthouse is actually mainly used to kill flying insects."

of?"

Well, she felt that her brain was not enough, and it took her a while to feel relieved.

That's right! Street lights have been installed in some places in the county.

Whenever the weather gets warmer, I see the street lights at night surrounded by dense numbers of flying insects.

If there is a pool under the street lamp, when the flying insects are exhausted from flying and fall to the water, their wings are stained with water, and they are unable to struggle, and they will inevitably drown.

Brother Wang Qiang is really powerful, he can think of such useful methods!

At this moment, girl Chen Lin was convinced by Wang Qiang.

This girl has a very strong self-esteem and is very smart. If she wants to admire her from the bottom of her heart, Wang Qiang should be the second person.

The first, needless to say, is her mother Lin Liping.

"Okay! No more talking!"

Wanyu clapped her little hands and said to the second general Heng Ha next to her, "Let's quickly clean the soil from the sweet potatoes, and then pick up the sweet potatoes and corn cobs to feed the wild boars."

"Brother and sister cook very quickly. I think it will be ready in about half an hour at most."

"So, we have to hurry up!"

Following the little girl's order, the three of them dumped a load of sweet potatoes into a small bluestone pool in the shallow water of the artificial lake in front of them.

This is a place specially designed by Wang Qiang to clean wild boar food, mainly sweet potatoes.

Therefore, he built a small shallow pool with an area of ​​only about two or three square meters in this small shallow area.

A layer of bluestone slabs is laid at the bottom of the small pool, and there are several layers of bluestone steps connected to the lake shore, making it very convenient to clean sweet potatoes.

The three girls cleaned the sweet potatoes very quickly. They poured the sweet potatoes from a pair of large baskets into the lake water, then washed them casually, took them out and put them back into the big baskets.

In fact, there is a little bit of soil on the sweet potatoes, so wild boars are fine eating them.

The stomach of this omnivore has a very strong digestive capacity, which is no worse than that of a dog.

The original wild boar stomach is a rare medicinal material in later generations and is quite valuable.

After washing the sweet potatoes, Wanyu poured two large baskets of corn cobs into the water, in order to let the dried corn cobs absorb some water, so that the wild boars would like to eat them more.

Corn cobs are actually very sweet and nutritious compared to corn kernels. They are very suitable for feeding wild boars, sheep, horses and other livestock.

Of course, it would be better if it is ground into powder and mixed with light salt water.

But Wang Qiang originally planned to raise livestock and poultry, so how could he take care of those wild boars so carefully?

Anyway, the livestock, poultry and fish raised at home can be fed casually, there is not so much particularity.
Chapter completed!
