Chapter 199: Silkworm Raising (1st Update)
Chapter 199
I saw Cheng Wanyu's silkworm room with my own eyes and listened to her carefully explain the method of raising silkworms. Only then did everyone believe in their hearts that Cheng Wanyu, the lady in their eyes, really knew how to raise silkworms.
"It turns out that there are so many things about silkworm raising, and this is the first time I've heard of it!" Xie Zhi'an's eyes lit up, as smart as she certainly knew that a good opportunity to make money was coming.
"Yes! In the past, I only heard that raising silkworms made money, but I didn't know that there were also spring silkworms, summer silkworms and autumn silkworms. Male ploughing and female weaving This is the way of life handed down by our ancestors, we have lived in the city for a long time but have forgotten our roots! Ah Mei's words made several women present nod their heads, and even Chen Bingyi's family, who has always had little roots, couldn't help but echo.
"I used to suffer a lot, working in the fields during the day, weaving at night, and I don't know how hard it was. After getting married, I didn't do that, but I forgot that I could still do it. It's really bad, it's better than you as a young lady who doesn't do housework! Although Chen Bingyi's words were not very popular, Cheng Wanyu could also hear that this was actually praising her.
The energy of the woman's family is limited, and the children share most of the thoughts with the house. When several women meet, they will no longer care about those gossip, but will study how to make money with each other.
Ah Mei got help from Cheng Wanyu and returned home to start raising silkworms. Tie Guan Li still drinks and loses his temper at every turn, and even laughs at Ah Mei is so stupid that he really thinks that he can wear silk silk with a few silkworm babies.
But Ah Mei was unmoved, and tried to avoid him while he was drinking. will not cry because of Tie Guan Li's bad temper, and stick to his own small world.
Such a change made Tie Guan Li scoff, and one day he took advantage of the drunkenness to smash the silkworm baby that Ah Mei had worked so hard to raise.
Ah Mei looked at the silkworm baby who was trampled by her husband on the ground, and wanted to cry without tears. Today, the silkworm baby has shed its skin three times, but unfortunately this qiē has been ruined by him.
The slightly drunk Tie Guan Li still felt that it was not enough, so he used the strength of the wine to stomp on the silkworm baby on the ground in front of Ah Mei. While crushing it with his feet, he said triumphantly: "Do you really think these things can make you wear silk satin?" Phew! ”
Ah Mei knelt on the ground, holding the baby silkworm that had been ruined in her hand. raised his head and looked at her husband's drunken face, and Cheng Wanyu's words rang in his head over and over again.
"The life of the silkworm passes through the silkworm egg, ant silkworm, mature silkworm, silkworm cocoon, silkworm moth, a total of more than 50 days. But now you don't need so long, what I'm giving you is an ant silkworm. They have just come out of their eggs and will be able to eat mulberry leaves in about two hours. Ants and silkworms begin to sleep in about four days until they shed their first layer of skin, and so on four times. By the time the fourth skin is shed, you will find that the silkworm has turned dark brown and is starting to spin. This is the ripe silkworm, and then the silkworm grass made from dried straw is used for them to 'go up the mountain'. After four days of spinning silk and forming cocoons, silkworms become silkworm chrysalis, which can be eaten by themselves or sold to subsidize households. Leave a part of the silkworm moth for twelve or three days, and then they lay silkworm eggs. Isn't it better for the days to go by! ”
This time, the silkworm babies are still sleeping, and when they wake up, they shed the fourth layer of skin and become silkworm chrysalis.
Six days, only six days. Cheng Wanyu said that silkworm babies should sleep for six days after molting for the third time, which is very important for big sleep. When they wake up, they will become silkworm chrysalis after seven or eight days and begin to spin silk.
You can make money by spinning, and the busy work of getting up early and being greedy for darkness these days is almost a little bit.
But this man! Ah Mei raised his head suddenly, staring at Tie Guan Li with red eyes. This person ruined all his efforts, and the skills he learned with great difficulty were ruined before he could see the results!
Tie Guan Li has long been accustomed to his wife's submissiveness, and she usually follows with her head down and whispering softly no matter what she does. Even when he was in a bad mood, he would only cry secretly if he hit her to vent.
But since she started beating the little worms she didn't know where to get them, she guarded a bunch of maggots all day long and didn't listen to herself. When she wanted to lose her temper and scold her, she either went to pick mulberry leaves or make some broken straw. I kicked her twice and didn't say anything, and I didn't come out to say anything about arguing with the guests. Even when I go to bed at night, the dream words in my mouth are also muttering about what day it is.
Today he bought two jars of wine and went home, and she looked at it and didn't say anything, but made two small dishes for herself. If she usually nagged a few words, drinking a lot of things like that.
Tie Guan Li didn't see his wife's strange expression, and he muttered in his heart that maybe it was because the family's money was ruined by Cui Xiyue's slut. That's why his mother-in-law suddenly became abnormal, and she thought about getting some silk to make a new dress for herself.
"What an idiot! Look at these maggots on the ground, and if they don't eat, it's like they're dead. I've never heard that maggots in a pit can be turned into clothes, you're a fool and you're cheated all day long! Tie Guan Li felt no guilt, and was ready to continue to go out to buy two more jars of wine.
Unexpectedly, Ah Mei suddenly stood up from the ground, rushed into the kitchen, and took out a shiny kitchen knife in an instant.
Hair scattered, red eyes, look crazy: "You don't let me live, I won't let you live, today the two of us will die together!" ”
Tie Guan Li has never seen his mother-in-law like this, not to mention today's terrifying posture is that he has never shouted loudly to himself. I was sober up for a while, and I didn't think about what she could do with a weak woman even if she held a kitchen knife. It was not easy to snatch the kitchen knife from her hand with the strength of his body.
But at this time, how could he have this awareness, as soon as his legs were weak, he immediately ran out of the house, one tall and one short.
Ah Mei has been depressed for a long time, and now her hard work has been wasted. Screaming and rushing out with a kitchen knife, she ran behind her husband while shouting.
The husband and wife chased after me, which stunned the people on the street. Until Tie Guan Li jumped to the tree, Ah Mei held a kitchen knife and shouted under the tree. Everyone knew what happened, and they couldn't help but speak for Ah Mei!
Later, the lame man knew that Ah Mei was all to subsidize the family, and wanted to save the dowry for the eldest daughter to use for the younger son to study. Only then did he realize that he had misunderstood Ah Mei, and he cried when he heard that everyone calculated that he had lost a lot of money. After that, the people persuaded and coaxed the lame man to come down from the tree and sent the two back home. "Xiaocui is the most fond of inquiring about other people's gossip in this family, and now she is telling Cheng Wanyu about the Amei family.
"This lame man really has no conscience, and he doesn't know how distressed he is when he marries such a good daughter-in-law. It's either beating or scolding people all day long.,It's easy to get a livelihood from Miss.,I don't know how to cherish it.。 I don't want to think about how cold our place is, how many days a year can we raise silkworms! Xiaohong listened angrily beside her, and screamed for Ah Mei.
"But it will be easier for Ah Mei to raise silkworms in the future, I heard that the lame man cleaned up a small warehouse overnight, specially made a silkworm room for Ah Mei, and said that he would not drink alcohol in the future, and when he didn't strike iron, he would come to help Ah Mei pick mulberry!" Xiao Cui said with a smile, her cheeks puffing out with relief on her face.
Cheng Wanyu nodded: "This is a good thing, it not only let him see Ah Mei's ability to fill the family, but also let him know how powerful Ah Mei is to start a fire." In the future, I will dare to do it to women lightly! ”
Mama Dong, who was listening carefully to the excitement on the side, remained silent, and stopped talking when she saw that the new thing was finished. couldn't help but ask: "I heard that there has been a lot of chaos in the city recently, and there are two girls who call themselves chivalrous girls, who specialize in making trouble!" ”
Xiao Cui was eating mung bean cake, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but nod and said vaguely: "Isn't it!" Now it's chaotic outside, our Huaizhou Mansion is outstanding, and naturally some people are worried about it! Run this way! ”R1152
