The two sisters, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, had only read about silkworm raising and weaving techniques in textbooks when they were children, but they had not had an in-depth understanding, so they were at a loss now, and they had no clue about these cocoons at all.

Yan'er raised silkworms when she was a child, and she also knew the process of this series of processes, so after listening to Chen Zhe, she immediately asked, "Brother Xiao Chen, do you want to reel silk next?"

"Yes, these cocoons have to be dealt with quickly, and I'll go boil water and reel silk in a while. Chen Zhe said.

Hearing Chen Zhe's answer, Da Qiao asked curiously, "Reeling silk?

Xiao Qiao joked with a wicked smile: "Chen Zhe, are you going to die?" Yes, you are going to die ......."

Chen Zhe glared at her angrily, this off-line girl is really a childish ghost.

Da Qiao also glanced at his sister and complained: "How old are you, and you still make such low-level jokes, aren't you afraid that the fans in the live broadcast room will lose their fans?"

Little Joe stuck out his tongue and said with a salivating face, "What's the matter? I'm such a character......!

At this time, Chen Zhe explained: "The so-called silk reeling is the process of reorganizing and decomposing the silkworm cocoon into silk threads...... We know that when the silkworm forms a cocoon, it spits out a silk thread and winds it into a cocoon, and silk reeling is the reverse process of forming a cocoon. ”

Da Qiao understood as soon as he heard it: "Reassemble the cocoon into threads, so that we can use it to sew clothes." ”

Chen Zhe smiled approvingly: "That's what it means." ”

But then he added: "But the silk thread formed by reeling silk is relatively thin, which is not suitable for making thread directly for sewing, and several strands of mulberry silk must be wound together to form a thread for sewing clothes." ”

Da Qiao listened carefully, and nodded after listening: "I understand." ”

Xiao Qiao looked at Chen Zhe with some surprise and asked, "Chen Zhe, do you still know how to reel silk? When did you learn this technique?"

Chen Zhe said with a smile: "This technique is not difficult, I was exposed to it when I was a child. Yan'er should be too, right?"

Yan'er immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I raised silkworms when I was a child, so I know how to reel silk." ”

Seeing this, netizens in the live broadcast room praised one after another.

"Chen Zhe is so talented. ”

"Yan'er is also very capable. ”

"To put it bluntly, the children of the poor are still in charge of the house early, and when they look at Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's family, they are relatively superior, and they have never raised silkworms. ”

"I also raised silkworms when I was a child. ”

"When I was a child, I learned to raise silkworms and reel silk in labor class. ”

“......”

Soon, Chen Zhe began to reel.

To reel silk, you first need to use a pot of hot water to scald the cocoon, so that the hot water can help the cocoon decompose.

The temperature of the hot water should not be too low, if it is too low, it cannot eliminate the glue force between the silk, but it should not be too high, close to boiling, so that it will damage the cocoon and silk.

I saw the light green silkworm cocoon rolling in the hot water like a boat, and Chen Zhe stirred it from time to time with a wooden stick to speed up the decomposition of the silkworm cocoon, so that the hot water and the silkworm cocoon were in full contact.

After a period of time, the silk on the cocoon gradually falls off, and the broken head can be identified by the naked eye, this process is called "Luoxu", which means that the silk can be drawn with these broken heads immediately.

After a period of time, these cocoons soaked in hot water have almost decomposed, and then Chen Zhe and Yan'er started to draw silk, first pulling out the toughest and most complete silk, tying it to the branch, and then slowly pulling out the follow-up silk and continuing to roll it on the branch.

Seeing that the original round spherical silkworm cocoon was drawn into a thin and long silk, this process simply made the Qiao sisters jaw-dropping, this crystal silk thread was stained with spring water, flashing colorful colors in the sun, the scene was actually very beautiful.

"Oh my God, this is amazing. Xiao Qiao was surprised and said, "Is the silk we wear woven from these silks?"

"Yes. Chen Zhe nodded and said, "The silk spun by silk is smooth and soft, warm in winter and cool in summer, very comfortable." ”

And with Chen Zhe and Yan'er's silk reeling, soon a branch was wrapped with crystal silk, and the thin cocoons in their hands seemed to be endless, constantly transporting silk threads outward.

Da Qiao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Chen Zhe, how long can this silkworm cocoon peel off?"

Chen Zhe said: "Because the silk of the cocoon is too fine, a cocoon can actually peel off a long silk, I remember it is about a few hundred meters...... Yan'er, do you remember the exact number?"

"It's between 700 meters and 1200 meters. Yan'er said precisely, "The length of the silk drawn from a silkworm cocoon is about within this range." ”

"It's so long...... Da Qiao said in surprise, "The silkworm is really a magical animal, such a small body can spit out such a long silk ......"

At this time, Xiao Qiao actually recited a poem very abnormally: "So, the spring silkworm is dead to the end!"

Her poem attracted Chen Zhe and the others to look at her with admiration, and even her sister Da Qiao didn't hurt her this time, but said in surprise: "It's okay, Mengfei, I didn't expect you to recite poems?"

Xiao Qiao raised his chin proudly: "Of course, I'm actually very cultured!"

......

Seeing Chen Zhe and Yan'er's skillful silk reeling techniques, the hosts and commentators in the live broadcast room did not hesitate to praise them.

He Chen said with a smile: "Chen Zhe is really a master of survival in the wild, after he obtained the wolf skin, he polished the bone needle, and after having the bone needle, he found the silkworm cocoon, and the silk thread was obtained by reeling silk...... Now it's time for them to sew fur coats, right?"

But at this moment, Professor Ma next to him shook his head and said: "Teacher He, don't be too optimistic, although Chen Zhe has obtained mulberry silk, mulberry silk is not equivalent to sewing thread, there is also a processing process. ”

"Really?" He Chen realized that he had neglected this process, and hurriedly asked modestly, "Professor Ma, can you elaborate on it?"

"Absolutely. Professor Ma said, "That's the case, the mulberry silk itself is too fine, and the toughness and strength are poor, so if you want to use it for sutures, you must first knead several mulberry silk together and twist them into thicker and stronger sutures......

"Ah...... I see. He Chen suddenly said, "But this process doesn't sound complicated, it should be no problem for Chen Zhe, right?"

Professor Ma shook his head: "No, Teacher He, it's not that simple.

Because of the material of mulberry silk itself, they are not easy to screw together with each other, and if they are twisted too loosely, the twisted sutures are easy to split into strands and become several separate silk threads again......

However, if you want to tighten it, you need professional techniques and rich experience to do it, or you need to rely directly on the help of the machine. ”

Hearing this, He Chen understood.

"I understand, so what Professor Ma means, the real problem is still waiting for Chen Zhe, that is to say, after he reels the silk, the process of using mulberry silk to make sutures, this process is the most difficult, Chen Zhe may not be able to do it smoothly, right?"

"Yes, for silk reeling, the more difficult step is the later step of making the stitches. Professor Ma said, but she added very cleverly, "But I believe that with Chen Zhe's ingenuity, this difficulty will not be difficult for him." ”
