Chapter 66: Boiling Cocoons

Chen Wen squatted on the ground, looking at the silkworms that had already formed silkworms, and it was Liu Ginkgo who was squatting with her.

After Chen Wen taught Liu Ginkgo what she should learn today, he went out with her to look at the green, and then he became like this, staring at the silkworms with big eyes and small eyes.

After a long time, Liu Ginkgo couldn't bear it and asked her, "Did you raise this silkworm for recreation?" ”

Chen Wen shook his head: "It's to turn them into silk and make winter clothes." ”

"But ......" Liu Ginkgo poked the silkworm lightly: "Then you, don't you cook it now?" I think in two days it will be a butterfly. ”

Chen Wen bit his lip and shook his head at her: "I'm not very good at cooking." ”

Of course she knew, in fact, it could have been cooked a few days ago, but ...... She can't control the heat.

This silkworm has survived a lot, and it has already spun silk. Counting the numbers and stuffing a little less, it is estimated that it should be no problem to make two thin winter coats, but now there is a serious problem in front of us......

On the one hand, he didn't know where to start, and on the other hand, Chen Wen was reluctant.

She's been raising it for a long time.

Chen Wen stared at the silkworm, not knowing what to do.

But it is true that as Liu Yinxing said, if she doesn't cook it, she will break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.

Liu Yinxing was dumbfounded: "Then what now?" ”

"Otherwise, I'll try to boil it, right?"

It's better than squatting and waiting, not knowing what to do.

After speaking, Chen Wen went to the grocery room, found a big cloth bag, and pushed all the silkworm chrysalis in.

Liu Ginkgo helped her throw it together, and after throwing it away, she also had most of the cloth bag.

It's a bit heavy.

Liu Yinxing helped the handle.

The two men dragged the cloth bag into the stove and threw it to the door, attracting the attention of the other two people who sat on a small bench to cut and wash the fruit.

Liu Yangmu had no distractions, just glanced at the two little girls with his spare eyes, and then continued to do his thing.

Li Suniang said to Chen Wen with a smile while cutting the fruit: "Finally made up your mind to cook?" ”

"Well, when the time comes, I will turn into a butterfly and fly away, and my winter coat will fly."

"Do you really want winter clothes?"

"That's right."

Li Suniang is helpless, there is no place to go in the cold in winter, and few people will put real clothes in them, especially those who do more farm work, at most they wear more.

Chen Wen is a person who is afraid of cold, he doesn't like to sweat in summer, and he shiveres when he gets a little cold.

Although Li Suniang has no opinion, she also feels pity.

In Li Suniang's opinion, loading cotton is a luxury, and she never thought that she, her little granddaughter, would also have to load silk!

If this silk is sold...... How many cotton clothes can you buy, you don't have to worry about winter.

She also raised this question with Chen Wen, who insisted on replacing cotton clothes with silk.

Chen Wen looked innocent, bypassed a few people, and turned out a large pot under the stove to hold water.

It wasn't until it was filled with water that he crouched down and prepared to lift it to the stove.

Lifted it up, only a little, paused for two seconds, put it down, riveted it hard, lifted it again, this time holding on shorter.

Chen Wen spread out his hands, looked at the two red marks that had been strangled, and sighed deeply.

People have become smaller, and even this strength is not as good as before, and they can't even lift a pot of water.

Liu Yinxing stared at Chen Wen's movements curiously from the beginning, saw through her embarrassment, and poked her brother with her finger.

Liu Yangmu frowned: "What's wrong?" ”

"Whoa." Liu Yinxing raised her small chin in the direction of Chen Wen.

After being reminded by his sister, Liu Yangmu looked back at Chen Wen, and saw her standing in a daze at a pot of water in a daze.

Wipe the water on her clothes casually before getting up to help her.

And Liu Ginkgo is to replace Liu Yangmu's position and cut fruits.

Liu Yangmu pushed Chen Wen away with his hand, Chen Wen was unintentionally touched, and immediately came out of his melancholy mood.

At a glance, Liu Yangmu had already brought the pot to the stove.

Chen Wen stood behind him, stretched his neck, and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Yang Mu." ”

Liu Yangmu's hand threw firewood, a meal.

Her voice was soft, with a slightly coquettish tone, like a young lady in town.

However, those ladies will not say "thank you" to him.

"You're welcome." Then he pointed to the cloth bag at the door and said to Chen Wen, "Go and drag that silkworm over." ”

was stunned for two seconds, and then hesitated: "Can you drag it?" ”

Chen Wen hurriedly nodded: "Drag, drag." ”

In order to show that he was really dragging it, Chen Wen hurriedly dragged the cloth bag over.

While the water was still boiling, Liu Yangmu squatted down and grabbed a handful of silkworms.

The tentacles are a little sticky.

He was surprised to see the little girl who was squatting with him. I didn't expect her to be able to feed so many silkworms.

Chen Wen felt his incredible gaze and raised his proud little head.

Liu Yangmu hit her indifferently: "It's good that I didn't throw too much at that time, otherwise you wouldn't have winter clothes." ”

"......" Chen Wen touched his nose in embarrassment and remained silent.

The two of them squatted awkwardly, and Chen Wen didn't know what topic to find to alleviate the embarrassment, so he didn't speak.

Fortunately, after a while, the water in the pot boiled, and Liu Yangmu took out the silkworm and put it in the pot until he couldn't put it down.

Liu Yangmu lowered his eyes: "Let's cook it twice." ”

Chen Wen nodded obediently: "Thank you, Brother Yang Mu." ”

Liu Yangmu tugged at the corners of his mouth: "No." ”

Chen Wen hesitated and pushed Liu Yangmu's arm: "I...... I can watch it myself, you can go back and go about your own business. ”

"Are you sure?"

Chen Wen nodded heavily: "I can." ”

Liu Yangmu smiled, touched the top of Chen Wen's head, and habitually messed it up.

Chen Wen shrunk his neck. I was really not used to someone touching my hair, I wanted to dodge, and I remembered that he had just done me a favor, so I endured it and stood obediently for him to touch.

secretly pity him in his heart, rubbing other people's hair casually, what a broken habit!

And after Liu Yangmu kneaded it, he suddenly remembered that she was not his sister, and quickly withdrew his hand.

But looking at her neatly combed hair, it was already a mess at the moment, Liu Yangmu pursed his lips.

I don't know if this little girl will be angry.

Fortunately, after waiting for a while, Liu Yangmu didn't see any impatience or anger in Chen Wen, so he put his mind at ease.

What a good job.

But Liu Yangmu still didn't move Chen Wen, but looked at Chen Wen's arm and said, "I'll come." ”

That little arm, if you lift it, it should be broken.

In the end, Chen Wen didn't force it, and the laborious work of boiling silkworms was handed over to Liu Yangmu.

And she is to give Liu Yangmu a hand.

After Liu Yangmu finished cooking, Chen Wen soaked all of them in water and brought Liu Yangmu a glass of water.

Liu Yangmu stretched out his hand to take it, and Chen Wen's gaze naturally fell on Liu Yangmu's two thick arms first.

The green tendons on the top are obvious, and the palm is large.

The place where it accidentally touched her fingers was also rough.

Then his eyes fell on his clothes again, four or five large and small patches, which were not well repaired, and they were Liu Yinxing's handiwork.

Chen Wen lowered his gaze and had an idea in his heart.
