The crops in the field have just been planted, and Zhao Youqian occasionally does irrigation, hoeing, and weeding. Because of the previous planting model, there is no such thing as hoeing, that is, there are pests and droughts and floods, and the rest really depends entirely on "human planting and harvesting". Now that the soil is dug and the holes are settled, there are gaps between the plants, and weeds can be seen, so of course everyone is willing to hoe the grass in order for the crops to grow better.

Sun Siyuan stays at home every day and lets go of the rabbit and let go of the horse, she doesn't allow Zhao to have money to ride Xiaobai, but she has to climb on the back of the horse and swing for half an hour every day. Zhao Youqian was firm in his heart that Sun Siyuan was disgusting him, and he exercised more diligently, but he was no longer the fat he was now, although he was getting thinner, it was not as obvious as at the beginning.

Although he didn't go hunting in the mountains, he practiced archery without stopping, wasting many arrows every day, and occasionally shooting birds from the sky. He didn't let go of those efforts, and with his innate divine power, he didn't dare to say that it was appropriate for one person to overturn a big fat pig.

The days are peaceful, but after a long time, it seems boring, and Sun Siyuan thinks of doing something. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, clothing comes first, and Sun Siyuan feels that there is a big article to do.

The clothing of this world is mainly cotton, linen, animal skins and so on, silk has appeared, but it is only used in the court, because no one has mastered the technology of raising silkworms, and can only directly use a small number of wild silkworms from nature, so silk is extremely precious. But all this is not a problem for Sun Siyuan, she has books on silkworm raising, naturally she is not afraid of no technology, as long as she has the heart, it is simply "money".

She had the heart to breed first, so she spent money to buy wild silkworm cocoons, and the children in the village knew, and went into the mountains in groups and found more than a dozen, which was enough for Sun Siyuan, and she transplanted a row of mulberry trees behind her house, ready to feed the silkworm babies.

Slightly remodeled the room, it is the silkworm room, Sun Siyuan has to pay attention to the silkworm cocoon every day, and waited for five or six days to finally wait for the silkworm to break the cocoon and copulate, and then lay eggs, Sun Siyuan looked at the dense eggs, and felt that the mulberry leaves behind his house were not enough to feed.

In order to accelerate the improvement of the quality of silkworms, Sun Siyuan worked hard from the source and poured a lot of spiritual spring water under the mulberry tree, and the changes of the mulberry tree are almost visible to the naked eye. At the same time, she paid people to move mulberry trees into the mountains and plant mulberry trees on the side of the chicken coop. After the silkworm baby is greened, dozens of mulberry trees behind the house are lush and green, and the leaves are thick, which is very delicious at a glance.

Although there are many trees on the mountain, there are not many mulberry trees, so Sun Siyuan moved hundreds of saplings and prepared to take branches and cuttings after raising them. In order to ensure the survival rate of transplanting, Sun Siyuan also deliberately put a lot of spiritual spring water in the well on the other side of the chicken coop, so that Zhao could go and water the tree when he had money and time.

Raising silkworms is a thing that needs to be very careful, the children in the village want to see the legendary silkworm babies are rejected by Sun Siyuan, she single-handedly handles this matter, in order to disinfect the silkworm room every day to boil a lot of hot water, but also deliberately get a lot of lime at home.

This batch of silkworms has bred a total of about 2,000 silkworms, and the amount of young cannibalization is small, and the mulberry leaves at home are supplied.

After all, it was transplanted from a wild tree, and the growth was not good, and the silkworms in this period barely grew up after eating enough. After the silkworms formed cocoons, Sun Siyuan looked at the poor mulberry trees and felt very distressed, in order to ensure the food supply of the silkworms, these mulberry trees were almost directly wiped out by Zhao Youqian.

It took two months from silkworm breeding to cocooning, and in order to allow the mulberry tree to reproduce, Sun Siyuan decided to collect silkworm eggs and continue to raise silkworms the next year.

Mulberry trees are pruned in large quantities, in fact, the autumn cuttings are best with the upper part of the new strip without the wood bolting and the part of the wooden pillarization is the best, but Sun Siyuan can not take care of a lot in order to be efficient, and finally spent half a month, cuttings about 3,000 plants, accounting for three acres of land, the density of this cuttings is very small, according to the book to introduce the densely planted mulberry trees can reach five or six thousand per mu, but Sun Siyuan aims to obtain high-quality mulberry trees, concerned about the quantity.

The best two hundred cocoons were selected to be used as silkworms, and the other cocoons were scalded to death by Sun Siyuan to reel silk, more than 1,000 large cocoons, and in the end, only one catty or two of cooked silk came out.

The folk do not have the technology of raising silkworms and reeling silk, from beginning to end Sun Siyuan is doing it himself, Zhao Youqian a rough man can not help next to him, so he often goes to the town to buy some meat or go to the chicken coop to bring a chicken back to make Sun Siyuan to eat, although Zhao Youqian cooking skills are average, but this heart still moved Sun Siyuan.

In November, the silkworm eggs have been preserved, and the mulberry seedlings have also taken root in the ground.

There are ready-to-wear shops in the town, but Sun Siyuan heard that the garment makers in the town are all local tailors, and no one has ever touched silk, so she is aiming for the "Zhou Family Garment Workshop" in the county.

The Zhou family is half an imperial businessman, doing a weaving business, the Zhou family's garment workshops are all over the country, the materials in the palace are supplied by the Zhou family, and even some of the concubines' clothes are from the Zhou family. When it comes to silk, the most familiar is the Zhou family, but there is no silk circulation among the people, and Sun Siyuan is not sure if the Zhou family garment workshop in the county has ever touched the master of silk.

Sun Siyuan brought four taels of cooked silk and was ready to make two sets of intimate clothes for herself and Zhao Youqian. A few days ago, Zhao Youqian took the money to resist the wood to find Uncle Mu and made a carriage for his family, and when Sun Siyuan found out, the carriage had already been dragged home.

Knowing that Sun Siyuan was going to the county, Zhao Youqian put Xiaobai in front of the car early in the morning, although poor Xiaobai was "Ma Da", but he couldn't match Zhao Youqian's "high people", so he was still trapped. Sun Siyuan looked at Xiaobai, who was fat and strong during this time, and there was nothing reluctant to do.

After all, Xiaobai was towing for the first time, and he arrived at the county seat at noon, Sun Siyuan simply found the inn and opened a room, handed Xiaobai to Xiaoer, and went to find the Zhou family's garment shop after lunch.

During the meal, Sun Siyuan specially asked Xiao Er if he had any food made by green millet, and Xiao Er recommended green millet pork ribs and green millet branding. Sun Siyuan was eating green millet branding, thinking that the more green millet food, the better, so as to make the green millet more popular. Zhao Youqian was not interested in Qingsu branding, he only ate pork ribs, and saw Sun Siyuan gritting his teeth.

Zhoujia Garment Workshop is famous all over the country, although it is only a shop in a small county, but it is also more atmospheric than the decoration of other people's garment shops. Sun Siyuan first looked at the clothes on display in the store, and then asked if there were any silk clothes in the store, and the answer was, of course, no. Xiao Er explained to Sun Siyuan angrily that silk is used by nobles in the palace, and there is not enough in the palace, so where can it be spread to the people.
