There are really a lot of silkworms in their house, which is another important discovery, Xiantu asked his sister: "Sister, will you peel off the cocoon?" ”

"Yes, the silk spit out by our silkworms is made into silk by my mother and me, and then sold to the next village."

"Ao, you are so powerful, how many cocoons can our silkworms spit out in a year." Xiantu asked.

"My brother forgot that every year we go to the mountains to pick mulberry leaves, and when there are enough mulberry leaves, we can spit out 100 cocoons a day, but when the mulberry leaves decay, it is one or two a day, and we don't even spin out silk cocoons."

"Oh, how much silk can our family weave every year to sell."

My sister thought for a while and said, "Roughly calculated, it's three pieces of silk a year." ”

"That's so little, how much can you make out of these silks into clothes?" Xiantu then asked.

"Well, it's hard to say, we all sell these silks directly, and we can't afford to wear clothes made of silk, so we haven't done them, so we have to ask the tailor." Sister said.

"Oh, sister, if this is converted into ordinary linen, how many clothes can one horse make?" Xiantu asked again.

"Brother, why do you care about what the woman's family is doing today?"

"No, I'm just asking, this is to prepare for our future turnaround plan."

As soon as my sister heard that it was about turning over, she said, "According to the algorithm of linen coarse cloth, one horse of silk can make one or two clothes. Then he said, "Brother, you don't plan to open a silk shop or a tailor's shop, do you?" ”

Hearing my sister say this, I thought to myself, just these silkworm babies in our family, if you feed them well, you can make three pieces of silk, but you don't have the capital, you can't buy some silk to sell, even if you have the heart to open a silk village, you can't afford to do it!

My sister frowned when she saw Xiantu, thinking that he didn't like to hear what she had just said, so she said: "Actually, it is quite profitable to open a silk village, and they only give us the same money for a horse of silk that we draw, and they sell it casually for ten taels of silver, which is really profitable." ”

Hearing her sister talking with such business acumen, Xiantu was thinking about how to make her a profiteer in the future. Xiantu said to his sister: "Sister, how about you say that we should raise more silkworms and let them spit out more cocoons for us?" ”

My sister shook her head and said, "The mulberry leaves picked every year are put in the cellar, and if you let them eat, they won't be eaten in a month." We had to throw away all those thin silkworms, and only raise some fat silkworms to let them spit out their cocoons. ”

Although my sister's expression was a little vague, Xiantu still understood that the mulberry leaves on this mountain were not enough to feed these thin silkworms. If the food is solved, then there is no need to throw away those thin silkworms, and the high yield can always be guaranteed.

After a moment, he said to his sister: "Sister, let's go pick mulberry leaves in a while, and I will go to the mountain to have a look." When my sister heard this, she agreed with joy on her face.

I followed my sister to this mulberry forest, where a lot of mulberry leaves did grow, but there were people picking them under each tree. It seems that the demand is greater than the supply, the women here do not work in the field, but weave cloth and raise silkworms at home, every household here raises silkworms, no wonder there is a shortage of mulberry leaves, it turns out to be like this.

My sister also picked mulberry leaves with everyone, but Xiantu wandered around. When he was a child, he and his eldest brother also raised silkworms, but he remembered that it was not the mulberry leaves that were fed, but the leaves of the elm tree. At that time, the eldest brother also showed him that the silkworm ate the mulberry leaves and spit out yellow cocoons, and ate the white cocoons spit out of elm leaves. Although he couldn't feed the silkworm cocoon at that time, he still remembers the words of the eldest brother, and he just tried it this time. If it was true, then the eldest brother's stinky words would have helped him a lot.

Xiantu searched everywhere, and finally found a large elm tree. These elm leaves are much smaller than mulberry leaves, and they grow much denser. Seeing such a large area of elm trees, Xiantu thought that these were all picked by everyone, and not a single silkworm would starve to death.

Xiantu hurriedly walked over and pulled his sister to the elm leaf forest. Let my sister pick elm leaves to feed the silkworms. My sister looked at these elm leaves and said to him helplessly: "The silkworm doesn't eat this, it only eats mulberry leaves, you see everyone is picking mulberry leaves, and no one comes to pick elm leaves." "It turns out that everyone knew Yuye in the Tang Dynasty, and this will be a big shock to the archaeological community.

Seeing that his sister no longer paid attention to him, Xiantu begged and said, "Pick some, sister, just pick some." "Really, if people knew that he was twenty-seven years old, he wouldn't be laughed at to death if he was so coquettish. But he smiled proudly, smiled proudly, and laughed at the fact that Hongchen is not old. Who let him travel to the Tang Dynasty and become a seventeen-year-old child, there is no weak crown here, he used to be a child, and no one will laugh at him when he is heard to be coquettish.

My sister couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of Xiantu, and reluctantly agreed to pick elm leaves with him. In a short time they had picked a whole basket, and the woman who was picking mulberry leaves saw them picking elm leaves here, and pointed at them and laughed. Xiantu thought to himself, let them laugh, the one who laughs to the end is the winner.

My sister was embarrassed to go home with him with elm leaves, and from time to time someone asked him why he was picking this? The first pictures all smiled, only my sister blushed, as if she had done something embarrassing.

As soon as she got home, my sister chatted with Xue's mother about Xiantu's strange behavior, and said that she would come back with these elm leaves without a face. I really didn't know that my sister's face was so thin, so I would have taken it myself if I knew it, and let her follow behind.

Mother Xue was also very surprised by Xiantu's behavior, and followed Xiantu to the silkworm room (the room where silkworms are raised) with the basket. Xiantu picked out the rest of the silkworm baby's food and put some elm leaves in it. I really didn't expect these silkworm babies to support him so much, eating fresh elm leaves in large gulps. He thought, now his sister will never say that she has embarrassed her.

The ladies and sons at the door were dumbfounded, and Xiantu just smiled at them. This is to maintain his mystique and to show how humble he is.

My sister said hesitantly, "Brother, you are really a god. How do you know that silkworms still eat this, you never came to see our silkworms before you were sick, and this illness has become an expert in raising silkworms. ”

"Yes, son. Tell your mother well, how did you know that silkworms still eat elm leaves, and my mother thinks that you are getting more and more difficult now. ”

Hearing their words, Xiantu fell into deep thought, deep contemplation. He can't tell them that he has raised silkworms with his brother in the 21st century. But I can't find a reason to explain this, and my mother and sister don't know what to think of him.

Thinking, thinking hard, thinking about the series he had watched before, thinking about the movies he had watched before, thinking about the novels he had read before, thinking about the cartoons he had watched before, all in a matter of minutes. Find some reason to explain it, I thought about it for a long time and didn't think of how to explain it.
