Back to the era with space materials

Si Ningning planned to discuss it with others later and get two locks if there was a suitable opportunity.

After untying the hemp rope from the lock ring, Si Ningning put the basket in the house, took the mugwort he had pulled back at noon in front of the door and went to the well.

Charcoal is used to make mosquito coils, which can easily stain the area. If you are near a well, just rinse it with water for a while.

The mugwort needs to be kneaded into moxa velvet. Although the mugwort was pulled out only at noon, the weather is hot and the mugwort leaves are thin. By now, the surface of the mugwort is already wilted, and the edges have become very crispy.

It can be broken into crumbs and rolled into moxa velvet, which is no problem.

Just, it's a bit laborious.

Si Ningning rubbed it for a long time, until his neck felt sore, and he could only get out a small cluster of moxa velvet as big as his fist.

Although it was hard work, there was nothing she could do. She had not expected this situation in advance, otherwise she would have bought a lot of pesticides and incense.

The kneaded moxa was temporarily put aside. Si Ningning took out the hammer from the space, first broke the charcoal into small pieces, and then slowly pounded it into powder. Mix the carbon powder and moxa at a ratio of 2:1 and stir evenly.

Carefully take a little water out of the bucket and make sure the mixed toner and moxa can be kneaded into a ball.

Si Ningning picked a few leaves from the paper tree beside the well, placed the small balls on top, and carefully brought them back to the window sill to dry.

After working for nearly an hour, the final product was only five small balls the size of a baby's fist, which was pitifully inefficient.

From ancient times, there are stories about using mugwort to repel insects and mosquitoes. These will definitely have some effect. Si Ningning just hopes that they can live up to their expectations.

Not to mention one night, half a night, two or three hours, you have to stick to it, right?

There was still a while before the end of work. After drying the mosquito coils, Si Ningning took out a hoe from the space and lightly dug a few shallow ditches near the drainage ditch by the well. He took out the mint seeds he had sorted out before and sprinkled them in.

Mint has strong adaptability. Although this area is under the shadow of trees, it has abundant water resources, many decaying leaves nearby, and the soil is quite fertile.

Once germination is successful, the growth will not be bad.

When it grows into a dense mass, it will also be the time when the weather is hot, so it can be used at that time.

Xu Shuhua is in charge of cooking this week, so she is the first to come back in the evening.

After stepping into the house with two feet in the mud, Xu Shuhua was startled when she saw Si Ningning was there. She glanced back, took a few steps and sat down next to Si Ningning's bed, "Ningning, there is something good!"

After working hard for several days, Si Ningning was extremely tired and was lying on the bed to recover. After hearing this, he got up suspiciously and asked, "What good thing?"

Xu Shuhua patted the flag on her sleeve, carefully reached into her pocket with one hand, and took out four eggs with green or blue shells, "Wild duck eggs! Exactly four, one for each of the four of us!"

As she spoke, she glanced out the window subconsciously.

The meaning is obvious: there are only four eggs, and the domestic sales of female educated youths are just one per person, so there is no intention to alarm the male educated youths.

Si Ningning could understand, but she had a toothache and took out an egg from Xu Shuhua's hand. She turned it around and looked at it repeatedly, "This is a wild duck egg? Who said that?"

The color of the egg shell is like Tiffany blue with a layer of gray on the surface. The color is a bit dark, and each egg is no bigger than a thumb. It doesn't look like a wild duck egg at all.

Si Ningning put the egg back into Xu Shuhua's palm, "Don't tell me where you got the snake eggs from, right?"

This was a joke. Si Ningning had watched the Animal World channel, and the snake eggs were all oblong and white in color.
