From the morning to the end of the meal, there are still some mulberry leaves that have not been dried.

After eating, I continued to dry for a while, and then I wiped out all the mulberry leaves to dry.

Several children felt very tired, but everyone was happy, and when these silkworms formed cocoons, they could be sold for money, and they were the happiest when they collected money, and they didn't feel tired when they thought about it.

After the morning was busy, there was not much to do in the afternoon, and after dinner, the rain was much lighter, but it was still falling.

Lin Dezheng was standing under the eaves and looking at the sky, and said with a smile, "This year is another good year, it is raining at this time, God has opened his eyes, the wind and rain have been smooth in the past few years." ”

Siqi also stood under the eaves and watched, she thought, last year was this season, she came here, was struck by thunder, and raised at home for a long time.

Time flies so fast, a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and it feels like I haven't been here for long.

Everyone says that happy times are always short-lived, and it seems that she is very happy here, so she feels that the days pass quickly, otherwise it would be like a year.

It wasn't until mid-afternoon that the rain slowly stopped, and Wu smiled, "That's good, take the sheep out and put them in later, I ate so much grass today, it's not enough." ”

These sheep are about to be sold, although it has been hard work for so long, but when I think that I can sell it for a lot of money, I feel that it is worth it.

This year, the season is a little later, and it is probably not until mid-April that they can start planting large seedlings, and the first silkworms they raised can be sold in mid-April.

This year's raising is also good, a silkworm seed has a cocoon of sixty catties, and two silkworm seeds add up to one hundred and twenty catties.

Last year's silkworm sand was kept and sold for money, and the price of silkworm sand is not expensive, but it can also be exchanged for a few dollars.

This thing can feed the fish, Siqi discussed it with Lin Changgui, and decided to keep the silkworm sand, and when the time came, he threw the fish fry to feed the fish in the pond.

This year, a few children followed Lin Changgui to the town to sell silkworm cocoons, this season is still busy farming, many farmers have not yet started to raise silkworms, so the price of silkworm cocoons is higher.

Last year, it was sold for 50 wen a catty, and at this time this year, it can be sold for 55 wen, but a few of them are very happy, and the hard work is worth it.

However, looking at the price of silk, Siqi is still very excited, it is still not cost-effective to sell raw cocoons, and if you reel silk to sell, you can make more money.

This year, the first stubble of silkworms sold for six taels of silver, and the shopkeeper took six taels of silver, and then took the usual money, and gave them six hundred yuan.

"Shopkeeper, it's not troublesome to reel silk and hemp, we want to reel silk next time and sell it." Siqi raised his head and asked him.

The shopkeeper also wants to reel silk and sell these cocoons, and he is very happy that others come to sell silk, and he can save a lot of effort.

"It's not troublesome, it's just time-consuming, there are workers in the backyard reeling silk, if you want to learn, you can go and see."

As long as you are a long-term silkworm farmer, it is not a secret, and you will be able to learn it.

Siqi turned around and said, "Dad, let's go and have a look, if only we could sell silk." ”

Lin Changyuan nodded, and several people went to the backyard together, there were a few pots and stoves in the yard, and several workers were working together.

Siqi looked at it, and she knew about it, but she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, and she knew it in her heart when she looked at it.

After looking at it for a while, Menghuan said, "It doesn't seem to be very difficult, let's try it next time." ”

Siqi nodded, "I don't think it's difficult, silk sells for one hundred and fifty wen a catty, which is much more expensive than raw cocoons, and you can also leave leftovers to be beaten into silk cotton, which can be used to make clothes in winter." ”

The more I talked, the more cost-effective I felt, so everyone decided to try their own silk reeling at home next time.

Today's account was received, everyone was very happy, bought some things in the town and went back, and also bought three catties of pork to make dumplings to eat at night.

There is still meat from last year's New Year's pig at home, but it is all dried meat, and dumplings still need fresh meat.

This place is not like the north, you eat dumplings at every turn, but you will still eat them a few times a year, and you can eat them at home, with thin skin and big filling, and you can eat comfortably.

After going home, several children happily told Wu how much money they earned today, Wu smiled and said, "Competent, our children are all capable, how worry-free, just save money, and when you are older, you will take it out and spend it, and then the marriage will be beautiful." ”

Siqi smiled, "Grandma, it's too early to say this, it's important to buy more delicious food, we bought meat, let's make dumplings tonight, right?" ”

"Yes." Wu agreed to come down, and he hadn't eaten dumplings for a long time.

On the way, the children discussed that the money from the sale of silkworm cocoons should be handed over to the public middle school, because they were busy raising silkworms and could not take care of the work in the field.

At this time, Mengzhu took out the money and said their thoughts, Wu Shi hurriedly said, "What are you doing here, grandma is happy to see you making money, you never worry about this money, you just keep it yourself, and the public has money to spend." ”

Mengzhu said, "Grandma, we haven't worked in the fields, how can this be, we should give this money." ”

Wu said that he didn't want anything, and Lin Dezheng also said, "Okay, okay, the family just needs to live a good life, don't worry about this, the money you earn is collected, and the work at home is also done by a few of you, so it's done." ”

They will not ask for the children's hard-earned money, and it is not a famine year, the family has lived a good life in the past two years, and they are happy to see the children diligent.

No matter what the children said, the Wu family just refused to accept it, and the Xuan family smiled and said, "Grandma doesn't want you to keep it, and after earning money to buy a few catties of meat in the future, our family will have a good meal, and this will be it." ”

As soon as they said this, they understood that grandma didn't want money, so she would buy more things at home, and that would be fine.

The money for selling silkworm cocoons is Mengzhu Menghuan, Siqi and Zijie are divided among the four of them, and one person gets nearly two taels of silver, which makes several people very happy.

Raising silkworms is indeed to make money, why didn't you think of it before?

Zijie smiled and said, "It's good, so much money, let's raise more." ”

Siqi smiled, "How can you raise more if you want, there are so many mulberry trees at home, we are tired enough to choke on two silkworm seeds, no matter how much we can't raise, that's all." ”

Mengzhu nodded, "Yes, if you can't take care of it too much, but you will waste things, we can't be too greedy." ”

Zijie understood, and said with a smile, "Then raise so much, sister, I will be more diligent and save more money to buy delicious food." ”

The adults laughed, one by one, they were all gluttonous.
