Chapter 159 Villagers of Siliu Village ([-])
As a local, I have heard all kinds of gossip about well-known big families in the county since I was a child. Except for birth, old age, sickness and death, there are not many good things. Fishing boats, ruining people's livelihood, and doing bad things will never happen. Now they have the opportunity to sue the black and get eye drops, and everyone is very happy.

At the same time, Qi Ke had already eaten in the spiritual realm, changed his clothes and prepared to work.

First of all, wash the mud on the root of the pig, put it on a wooden tray like bean sprouts, cover it with a piece of wet gauze and put it in a dark place, try to see if this can accelerate the germination.

Then, Qi Ke changed into a full set of work clothes, put on a mask, gloves and goggles, and went outside the villa with a shovel and basket to pick flowers.

The back of the village is densely covered with water networks, and small rivers and brooks form a series of waterways extending in all directions. The former owner of the salt merchant also dredged the river to take salt boats, and expanded a relatively large river. It is very convenient for the villagers to farm and get water. It can be noticed that Yuan Ting and the others wear ordinary straw sandals on their feet, but in fact, the best shoes for this environment are rubber rain boots, long tubes, which can cover the entire calf, and are very reliable for going to the sea to isolate parasites.

Qi Ke herself has a lot of rain boots. She wears these rain boots every day when she does farm work. It is impossible for her to change her habit of using rain boots to work in the fields, so the local people have to get used to and accept rubber products.

She doesn't know if there are rubber plants that can extract latex in this world, but fortunately, there is an invasive alien species in her spiritual realm.

guayule.

Guayule has been invaded for almost 100 years. It grows in hot places, can grow in riverside ditches, farmland and pastures. The plant is poisonous and can cause human allergies and cause livestock death. However, it is toxic and has medicinal value. The latex content is very high. And it does not contain ingredients that can cause allergies, so it is very suitable for medical hygiene and daily necessities.

Of course, Qi Ke would not take the initiative to collect guayule. She suspected that this plant was the seed that she stepped on on the sole of her shoe when she went south to buy seedlings and was brought into the spiritual realm. This plant is very diffuse, and there are seeds and seedlings all year round. Grabbing land everywhere, such a good environment in Qianhe territory is out of control once it grows. The effective way to clear it is to uproot it before flowering and then burn it.

This plant that was inadvertently brought into the spirit realm caused a lot of trouble at the beginning. Every time it seemed to be cleaned up, who knew that the plant would appear again in a few days. Later, Qi Ke was also tired. Guayule doesn't invade farmland, pastures, and farms, so she just grows the plant as she pleases, and comforts herself as adding a little plant diversity to the spiritual realm. After all, this is one of the three major gum-producing plants.

Now, Qi Ke deeply felt that fortunately this invasive plant is not easy to clean up, otherwise he would not know where to get rubber in the future.

The process of extracting latex from guayule is complicated and requires the use of organic solvents. She seems to have to do chemistry as a mechanic, but she will definitely find a way to build a rubber product production line.

Qi Ke clenched her fists to cheer herself up, took the tool and walked towards the first guayule plant she saw, trying to use her innate skill of the master of the spiritual realm to pull out these guayules so that they could be transplanted into the No. [-] field. Don't let it grow, and grow it well in the future, the more it grows, the better.
