The road to the back mountain is very long, and I also met many villagers who came back from the field on the way, and everyone stared at Zhang Alan's novel hairstyle for a long time.

"Alain, this hairstyle is for you."

"This hairstyle with strips of cloth looks like a pretty little girl."

If he encounters a direct compliment, Zhang Alan is also very happy, and introduces to people that Chen Wen's hair is tied and the cloth is embroidered by Chen Wen, and then the person will praise Chen Wen.

Chen Wen followed politely, and this time he followed Zhang Alan to recognize many people in the village.

Sure enough, it was the right choice to stay, it was a very welcoming and friendly village.

While walking and chatting, I soon arrived at the back mountain.

Chen Wen is the first time to come to the back mountain of the village, the mountain is not high, there are many trees, and there is a road that has been cleared.

Chen Wen followed Zhang Alan and observed the surroundings, "Will there be large animals?" ”

"There used to be, but when there was a famine in the past, it was hunted a long time ago, but there are a lot of wild fruits on the mountain."

After walking for a short time, there was no way out, and it was blocked by a stone, Zhang Alan stepped on the big stone and pulled Chen Wen up.

There is no road to the end, and the places that can be walked are very complicated, either there are stones or dead wood, and everything that goes around and around makes Chen Wen confused.

"Here we are."

Chen Wen looked up and found that several weak trees had red fruits on them, and many of them fell to the ground.

Zhang Alan picked up a few from the ground and handed them to Chen Wen, "Taste them." ”

Chen Wen felt that this fruit was so familiar, and when she pinched it gently, the juice flowed out, leaving purple marks on her hands.

Mulberry...... Ah, isn't it just mulberries?

Mulberries can be eaten raw, can be made into tea, can be mashed and then dyed clothes, mulberry leaves can also be raised silkworms, silkworms can be spun, silk can be made into clothes!

The usefulness was great, and Chen Wen's eyes lit up.

"Sister Alain, do you know how to raise silkworms?"

Zhang Alan was busy picking fruits, and when he heard the silkworms, he nodded subconsciously.

Then the hands of picking the fruit paused, reacted, looked at the leaves of the mulberry fruit, and then looked at Chen Wen's expression, "You want to raise silkworms?" ”

Chen Wen nodded hurriedly, silk should be very expensive, with silk, it is equivalent to having clothes, and with clothes, you can also dye clothes with mulberries, so that it will not be cold in winter.

Zhang Alan frowned and disagreed with Chen Wen's suggestion. She used to follow her mother back to her grandmother's house, and there was a family in the village that raised silkworms, and she was fortunate enough to pass by, and the smell was ...... Unforgettable!

"Do you really want to raise?"

"Hmm!" Chen Wen nodded firmly, "Can this tree be dug up?" "If you can dig it, then take it back and try planting it first, live, and she will start raising it in the summer!

"This tree can be dug up, but it's just ...... You've got to think about it. Zhang Alan was a little helpless, "Silkworm raising tastes great." ”

Big taste? The smell is not too heavy to clean up regularly, and Chen Wen will not retreat because of the smell, she patted the trunk of the mulberry tree and enlightened Zhang Alan.

"The silkworm will begin to spin silk seven or eight days after shedding its skin four times, and the silk it spits is silk, and silk can be used to make clothes and quilts...... Silk is much more expensive than cotton. ”

Hearing that silk is more expensive than cotton cloth, Zhang Alan widened his eyes in disbelief. The cloth on their bodies is only coarse cloth, and the clothes made of cotton cloth are also worn by the nobles in the town, so wouldn't they be able to earn a lot of copper plates with silk!

Seeing Zhang Alan's wavering eyes, Chen Wen knew that she was tempted, and continued to ask, "How is it?" Do you want to do it with me? ”

Zhang Alan thinks about the taste of silkworms, and then thinks about the overwhelming copper plates...... The temptation of nothing without a copper plate was great, gritted his teeth, and agreed.

The two of them gave up picking mulberry fruits and started digging trees, digging the small-looking ones first, but Chen Wen really didn't expect the roots of this tree to be so deep, and they didn't finish digging for a long time.

Both of them sat on the ground and were tired and panting, Zhang Alan's hair was a little messy, and Chen Wen decided not to dig it.

"First...... Let's dig one first, take one back and plant it first, and if it's successful, we'll dig it with a hoe another day. ”

"Okay."
