Currently we are growing turnips.

About August from temperature. Turnips are growing quickly and quickly.

Turnips grow in about 60 days and are very easy to grow.

In other words, it is perfect for us.

This cub is more for goat and cattle feed than for eating.

By the way, turnip cultivation seems to be going smoothly. Speaking of strong ...

"Leader! There are insects here too!" (Ron turns the leaf)

"Wow, really?" (Rosward peeks in)

"I don't have a drill."

"Huh!" (Tetra screams lightly)

“……” (grams crushed silently)

It is a feeling.

Maybe the location in the forest is bad.

Pest heaven.

It is cleared as soon as you find it, but there is no drill. And I feel bad.

Anyway, this area is full of insects. Summer is at its height, and bush mosquitoes are also active. I ca n’t help but feel bad.

But I finally found a solution! !

"Look at this."

"What that"

"It is a flower called" Shirobanamushiyokeiku ".

This flower contains an insecticidal ingredient called pyrethroid.

A natural insecticide. Pyrethroids are very safe because we have little effect on mammals.

By the way, it is also a material for mosquito coils.

Since the pyrethrum originates from the Mediterranean coast, is it likely to grow? I thought and looked for it. Sometimes this world has a weird guy (griffon), but it's basically the same as the Earth's vegetation.

"I found this colony of boiled rice. Boil it down and put it on a turnip. The insects should disappear."

"Is it good just to hang? It is good.

Tetra gladly said. She hates insects.

"Is that really good? That's good. Let's go picking immediately."

Ron agrees.

Everyone doesn't seem to be wrong. It's natural.

"Let's go!"

I immediately headed to the flower garden.

_______________

In the flower garden we pick the flowers silently.

The sight is very romantic, but the application is pesticides.

It's a bit surreal.

"Tetra, this one"

I hand the bouquet of chrysanthemums to Tetra. This opens both hands.

"Eh! Poso, suddenly ..."

Somehow Tetra turned her face red.

"... Tetra-chan"

Soo-yeon listens to Tetra with her stunned face. Then Tetra's face turns red.

"……confusing……"

I was staring for some reason. Unreasonable.

"I wonder if this is enough. It's a problem to lose too much."

I would like to raise them in the village if possible, but I do not have such time. Insects don't come by just planting.

Return to the village, first prepare the pottery. Put chrysanthemum flower and water in it.

"After that, boil it down."

Add firewood and slowly boil over time.

Then cool it down and spray it on the turnip leaves.

"Is it really effective?"

"Perhaps"

I don't know because I never used it. It's definitely good for mosquitoes.

"By the way, why do insects die? Curse?"

So Young asked. Do you think that way?

"Because it's poison."

When I say so, the kids scare their faces.

"It's okay. It doesn't work for people. I don't know if I drink a lot."

The children expressed a reassuring expression.

…… Alms says it's okay, so it's probably the idea that it's OK. Nice, but complicated. If possible, think on your own.

"Well then, let's spray it."

In this way, the pest was successfully driven away.

__________

"I'm getting bigger"

"I'm looking forward to eating."

Ron is drooling.

I'm starving for these vegetables nowadays because I'm eating only nuts.

... I'm raising it for winter feed.

Can I eat a little?

"I need fertilizer soon"

Harvest time is near. To increase the size, fertilizer must be added at this time.

"What is fertilizer?"

"It's like rice for a crop. Well, what to raise ..."

The three most important nutrients required by plants are phosphate, nitrogen and potassium. However, there is no fertilizer that can effectively obtain these three. Then ...

"Do you want to bring it in the forest soil?"

Forest soil is made of rotten leaves. It should be usable as organic fertilizer.

"I have to make sure weird insects do not get in."

Like beetle larvae.

____________

"Huh! @ Almus!"

Tetra is hugging. What is it?

"Mi, earthworms ..."

Don't be scared by that. Approve the gram. Trying to grab it with your finger normally ... hey, don't crush!

"The earthworms improve the soil, so throw them into the earthenware with the soil."

"Is that so?"

Gram puts an earthworm in an earthenware vessel with a surprised face.

"Why is this?"

Tetra looked openly disgusted.

"Would earthworms move about in the soil? That would cultivate the soil."

Let's keep silent about feces. Absolutely dislike.

"Hey"

He seemed convinced. It was good.

"It's time to gather and sow it in the field"

"Yup!"

Return to the village and cover the turnips in the fields with soil.

I hope you can make a delicious turnip.

____________

"Finally harvested"

The time has finally come! !

It's surprisingly easy because you just pull the turnip off the ground.

I haven't grown so much in the first place.

Next, let's grow more.

"Leader! Let's eat"

"Wait wait. Calm down. This is the goat and cow food of the winter. We can eat a little bit.

"I?"

"Yes, because the responsibility is serious."

I say that and hit Tetra's shoulder. Tetra laughs.

I can finally use math. This will make the unmotivated kids understand the importance a bit.

Today's dinner was turned off.

Cub party.

However, there is no good seasoning.

It ’s just a boiled turnip.

But if you chew it, it is sweet and delicious. It's at least better than the nuts and wildflowers (weeds taste) of forests.

"delicious"

"Yes."

Eat the boiled turnip leaves. Crispy and delicious. Delicious but ...

I want to eat with soy sauce. I want salt at least.

Eat the boiled turnips. Soft and sweet. However……

I want to pickle it ...

Gathering, hunting and agriculture move.

If you move it, sweat will come out.

If you sweat, you lose salt.

I haven't taken any salt recently.

Get the salt if you have the chance.

I decided.
