"Look, these are two parts of water. One part is pure alum. The bluer the better. The other part is quicklime and let the water pass. Don't stir it slowly. Wait slowly for it to turn mud, then filter it with fine gauze, add a beaker of water to make lime milk..." Of course, Li Yaofu couldn't withstand the threats and temptations of Hong Tao, the big bad wolf, and finally agreed to be the inventor of Bordeaux liquid with the other two classmates. Then the three people picked up the notebook and watched Hong Tao operate on the spot without blinking their eyes, and wrote down every word, every step, and every unit that Hong Tao said in the notebook. This is the real reward.

Bordeaux liquid is a very simple compound. It is made of pure alum and water to make a copper sulfate solution of about 80%, and then uses quicklime to make a lime milk of about 10%. When using it, prepare it on site according to the ratio of one part of lime milk and nine parts of copper sulfate solution. After dilution, it can be sprayed on the crops. However, there is a sequence problem here. You must pour the copper sulfate solution into the lime milk. Do not operate the reverse, otherwise the solution will precipitate and fail.

"Go, remember the preparation steps, just find a piece of sugarcane field to try it, just spray it on the leaves with a bamboo spray drum. Remember to wash your hands, this is pesticide, it is poisonous, and you will have diarrhea after taking it!" Hong Tao did not do it too much, but only mixed two beakers of lime milk and copper sulfate solution, and then asked Li Yaofu and the other three to go to the sugarcane field to try it out to see if this sky blue potion works.

The reason why he didn't go by himself was that he was a thief. If no one found out that this test, Bordeaux liquid did not work, just pretend that it had not happened. It doesn't matter if someone discovered it. The little apprentice tried to play, and it was normal for him to be a living horse. It was normal for him to fail. Those who didn't see it and didn't follow him, which means he was not optimistic.

It is definitely impossible not to be discovered. Almost all the workers on the farm stayed in the farmland, and even their families came. They still held the last glimmer of hope, hoping that it would rain heavily, and maybe the condition would be cured. If you don’t burn it, don’t burn it. No one cared about Li Yaofu’s three children spraying the crops with small bamboo tubes. They were all about to burn things, so just do whatever they wanted.

Pesticides are not explosives. The effect cannot be revealed immediately. After Hong Tao sent these three children to spray, he walked home by himself. He has not been doing well these days. He plans to go to Qi Zu to find a balance tomorrow. This old man can always surprise him, but if he really doesn't, he will try to shoot a few shots. By the way, he practices his own shooting skills. Why is that guy Swan who can shoot more accurately than himself? This is unscientific.

Unfortunately, when he arrived at Qi Zu the next day, he had not even been robbing for a few shots, Ciqi ran over panting and called him back to the north bank. He said that Huang Hai and his people were going to break into the secret laboratory of the Chemical Group. The police could hardly stop him, so they had to let Hong Tao go over and calm him down.

"Don't you know what Lao Huang is doing?" Hong Tao and Ciqi were riding on the road while riding on horseback. How did they think about it and what was related to Li Yaofu and the others going to the sugarcane field to test Bordeaux liquid yesterday. Don't be wrong, they poisoned all the crops in the Yellow Sea to death.

"I said I wanted to find your apprentice. The police officer in charge of guard saw him rushing in with so many people. He definitely didn't dare to let them in, so he started arguing. I didn't dare to show up. Lao Huang didn't like to pay attention to me. He might not be too excited if he didn't have me. Once I go, maybe he would have to do it. I'll come to you first." The good-for-money charity didn't come to the scene, and he planned to pull Hong Tao as a shield.

"You are quite a thief. In the future, try to avoid provoking these old guys. They are heroes of Jinhewan. They are older, so let them live their old age comfortably. Those who can turn a blind eye and keep their eyes closed will pretend to be invisible, but there is a principle that cannot cause too much impact. They cannot explicitly violate national laws. This is my bottom line. You must grasp this degree. If such a thing happens, you don't care about it, then I will deal with you first!"

Hong Tao did not blame the timid, his approach was more in line with his wishes. Huang Hai, Bofu, Chen Mingen, Wen Boda, and Wen Laoer had no choice but to regard them as heroes in Jinhewan. As he grew older, his style of conduct became more and more arrogant.

They don’t take the imperial officials who were slaves from Ciqi very much, especially Ciqi and Cixi brothers, who are very popular with few people in the empire. But as long as they do not violate the law, Hong Tao does not intend to be serious with them. How many years can they live? They have worked hard for more than ten years for Jinhewan, and they are indeed heroes. Even if they are a bit out of order, they can endure it themselves.

"I understand, I understand..." Ciqi was very moved. It is better to meet such an understanding boss than to pay a lot of bonuses.

When Hong Tao rushed to the gate of the chemical group, the police and the farm workers brought by Huang Hai did not have physical conflicts, because the Weng family also heard the news and drove them out of the factory to persuade them to fight. Huang Hai could not be unreasonable in the face of his family, so he had to sit at the gate waiting for Hong Tao to deal with it. The Weng family did not dare to let him enter the small courtyard of the laboratory. The confidentiality level of this courtyard is the highest. Except for Hong Tao and relevant personnel with work certificates, no one can enter, and even if Bozhu comes, it is useless.

"Oh, Uncle Huang, don't go home to cook at noon, what's the sing about this!" Hong Tao always smiles when dealing with these old people. No matter what you say, as long as you don't scold your ancestors in front of you, he won't be angry.

"I'm still having a meal, I'm almost in a hurry! What about those little guys who went to the sugarcane field to spray medicine yesterday? Call them out." Huang Hai's hair turned white, his back was hunched, and his teeth were missing, but his voice was not small at all, and he was confident.

"Can you tell me what you are asking for? They are all children who have just graduated for less than two years. Your situation is a bit scary. After all, they are my disciples. If you have any questions, please tell me first. I will go back and criticize them?" Hong Tao has made up his mind. If Li Yaofu and the others really poisoned the crops, they can only be used as a shield. The idea was made by himself, and the potion was prepared by himself. If there was a credit, they could give it to their disciples, but if there was a problem, they would still be human.

"Hey... I won't let you follow you, you have to follow you, you're not fighting, so many people won't misunderstand it! Xiaotao, those three kids are so capable. Someone went to see the sugarcane field where they sprayed medicine yesterday. Guess what? The leaves no longer rust. I came to ask them to continue spraying medicine, which is the blue potion of yesterday." Huang Hai realized that it was a bit inappropriate for a large group of people behind him. He wiped the sweat from his head, took a sugarcane seedling from a worker next to him, pointed to the rust spots on the leaves and talked about his purpose.

"Are you sure it works? How did you see it?" Now it was Hong Tao's turn to be a little surprised. Is Bordeaux liquid really that effective? It was sprayed yesterday afternoon and took effect today at noon? You must ask this thing clearly, don't read it wrong.

"I promise it works. I am responsible for this field. I know how many leaves are on which tree are sick. When I went to see this morning, not only did the leaves get sick, but the rust spots on the sick leaves did not expand, and the color became darker, as if that piece had died." A black and thin middle-aged man stood behind Huang Hai, and told Hong Tao in detail the basis for his judgment on the potion's effectiveness.

"That's it... Uncle Huang, you take the people back first, prepare more bamboo spray drums, and then find a few large wooden barrels to fill with clear water and put them on the edge of the field. I went back to the laboratory to watch them make up the potion first, and then send them to the edge of the field to spray together. Call everyone who can call them, and try to spray all the fields today and then see the effect." After hearing the description of the farm employee, Hong Tao felt a little relieved. It seemed that Bordeaux liquid had played a role, at least controlling the condition. So what are you waiting for? Squirt quickly! Controlling it for one day can reduce some losses. If the disease can really be eliminated, the output this year will not drop too much.

Hong Tao spent this day by the field, but he was still not relieved that Li Yaofu and others were dispensing medicines independently, and even more worried that those farm workers who had never used pesticides were constantly instructed everyone not to let pesticides stick to their skin for too long. If they were stained, they should be rinsed with clean water and forced everyone to bring masks made of cotton. No matter how toxic Bordeaux liquid is, it is also poison. You must be careful when operating.

"Does these blue potions really work?" After working hard for a day, Hong Tao ran to his imperial village with two cans of medicine before the evening, pulled Baixiang and several of her Li family members to spray his tobacco fields, and then he was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist. Although Hong Tao was full of energy on the warship, he was really not as good as Baixiang when he did farm work. He was like a mountain when he was traveling.

"It works. I tried it yesterday on the farm. Let's take a look tomorrow. If these rust spots do not continue to increase, it means it is useful. Spray it again in a few days and the crop disease will be cured." Hong Tao had already sat on the ridge of the field, not wanting to move, only his mouth was still alive.

"Hehehe... That day I said to you in front of everyone, don't be angry, I will change it in the future, Bozhu has already scolded me..." Hearing that Tobacco Field was saved, Bai Xiang was in a good mood, and knew that he was a little too much to Hong Tao a few days ago, so he took the initiative to apologize.

"It's okay, it's common for couples to quarrel. I often don't stay at home. At home and outside, children and elderly people rely on your care. Don't be afraid of being scolded if you work less. This is fair." Baixiang was able to admit his mistakes on his own initiative, and Hong Tao was very pleased that his wife was reasonable, which was God's kindness to him.
