Chapter Twenty-Six: Silkworm Eggs

Chen Wen saw Zhang Alan standing at the door of the village chief's house from a distance, bored and playing with grass.

Then, as soon as Zhang Alan looked up, he saw Chen Wen, Chen Wen met her eyes and waved at her, "Sister Alan." Afraid that she would be in a hurry, she walked a few steps quickly.

Zhang Alan raised a smile, saw her go fast, and hurriedly said, "You slow down." ”

Chen Wen obediently slowed down, and after a short distance, the two of them quickly converged.

Zhang Alan returned the basket he was carrying to Chen Wen, Chen Wen took it and was about to put the box containing silkworm eggs into the basket, but Zhang Alan stopped him.

"Don't put it in yet."

Chen Wen stopped his movements, "Why?" ”

"I just want to see what silkworm eggs look like."

Chen Wen smiled and gave the box to Zhang Alan, she hadn't seen it anyway, so let's take a look first.

Two palm-sized boxes, Zhang Alan carefully opened them.

The top and bottom of the box are covered with thin cotton paper, and the silkworm eggs are like sesame seeds, attached to the paper.

Just by looking at it, Chen Wen couldn't help but marvel, he didn't expect that the fifty copper plates were actually densely packed with so many silkworm eggs.

If these silkworms have a high hatching rate and more silkworms, after raising them well, she can get a lot of silk!

With silk, she and her grandmother will be able to have warm new clothes this winter! Maybe you can even build a new quilt!

Thinking of this, Chen Wen was even happier.

Compared with Chen Wen's joy, Zhang Alan glanced at it, and couldn't help but have small bumps floating on his skin, it turned out that silkworm eggs looked like this...... It's a little scary to be densely packed.

She immediately closed the box and quickly stuffed it into Chen Wen's basket.

"What's wrong?" Chen Wen was puzzled, is it that so many silkworm eggs are not pleasing to people?

Zhang Alan shook his head and smiled reluctantly: "Put it back after reading it, you go back and raise it well." "When she grows up and is not scary, she will go and observe it.

Chen Wen nodded happily: "Okay, then let's go back." ”

She got silkworm eggs, swept away the unpleasant mood of the rain before, and couldn't wait to go back.

Zhang Alan thought of Chen Wen's foot injury, and stretched out his hand to help her very intimately, Chen Wen also directly focused on her, with a little support, in order to take care of Chen Wen, the two walked very slowly.

After walking for a long time, Zhang Alan remembered what she was going to ask her: "By the way, did Liu Tianquan's stunned person say anything?" ”

Zhang Alan is sure that Liu Tianquan will definitely not say anything about Chen Wen, but he will definitely complain about her, and she wants to listen to what Liu Tianquan will complain about.

"I didn't see Brother Tianquan, where is Brother Yang Mu waiting for me."

"Ah...... Brother Yang Mu! Zhang Alan was surprised, it was actually Brother Yang Mu, and Brother Yang Mu could wait patiently at the entrance of the village all the time!

can think about Brother Yang Mu's stinky face when he was unhappy, he was afraid that Chen Wen would be murdered, so he asked her again: "Brother Yang Mu didn't kill you, did he throw your face?" ”

Chen Wen was silent for a long time, first shook his head, and then nodded.

"Shaking and nodding again, what does that mean?"

"I could tell it was unpleasant, but he didn't hurt me."

Unpleasant is unpleasant, and he didn't say a word to her, which made Chen Wen have a much better impression of him. Looking fierce, he is actually quite patient and has a good temper.

Sure enough, he is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

"Oh, that's good."

Zhang Alan was a little relieved, but in fact, he was secretly surprised in his heart, if Liu Tianquan was like this, he would behave unpleasantly, but it would be reasonable to be a murderer.

Brother Yang Mu shouldn't be, Brother Yang Mu hates unpunctual people the most, and when he encounters this, he will definitely sneer or scold mercilessly.

Zhang Alan quietly glanced at Chen Wen, thought about it for himself, and perhaps understood why Brother Yang Mu didn't scold her.

Or, maybe you just met Chen Wen; Either that, or when he saw Chen Wen's pleasing face, he was embarrassed to scold.

If she was reluctant to scold Chen Wen.

What a pleasing and well-behaved character!

I thought about it, and Zhang Alan didn't have any doubts, so he helped Chen Wen all the way, and soon arrived.

Although Chen Wen repeatedly rejected Zhang Alan, he couldn't resist Zhang Alan and still helped her back.

"Rest well." Zhang Alan patted Chen Wen on the shoulder and said hello to Grandma Li, who was serving dinner: "Grandma Li, I'm leaving." ”

"Okay, be careful."

Li Suniang held a candle in her left hand and a bowl of warm rice in her right hand, and walked towards Chen Wen.

Chen Wen got up to pick it up.

"Why is it so late, I'm still hot."

"I can't go fast, and I'll come back slowly."

"Doesn't this foot hurt?"

Chen Wen shook his feet and pouted: "It hurts." ”

Li Suniang gently poked Chen Wen's forehead, "I'll take a look after eating." ”

Chen Wen ate quickly, finished eating quickly, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, sat back in the chair, kicked off his shoes, pulled the candle closer to him, and untied the cloth little by little.

Sure enough, blood oozed again.

Li Suniang brought a new rag, "Tell you to run blind." ”

"I'm not running blind." Grandma gave her a new bandage, and Chen Wen took out the box in the basket with her empty hands and carefully opened it to show her grandmother.

"Look, grandma."

Li Suniang looked up, "Ouch, there are so many, close it quickly, be careful that you can't find it." ”

Chen Wen nodded hurriedly, carefully closed the wooden box, and was overjoyed: "If these are hatched, we will be able to wear warm clothes made of silk in winter, and we can also cover warm quilts." ”

Li Suniang treated her wounds, and was silent for a long time before she asked her questions, "You don't want to sell it?" ”

"No, it's not."

Selling silk? Chen Wen looked confused.

Li Suniang smiled and shook her head, she was really a stupid child.

Chen Wen fell into deep thought. She really hadn't thought about selling silk before, and the original intention of raising silkworms was to solve the problem of cold in winter, so that she could spend the first winter smoothly in ancient times.

But...... If the silkworms are raised well this season, it is not impossible to sell some of them.

After selling silk, she will have money to buy the next season of silkworms, and she can also sell them after cultivating new silkworms.

Yes...... Roll Profit!

Li Suniang finished bandaging her wound and said, "Indeed, look at me, I don't know if I can support it or not, so I think about it so long-term." ”

"......" Chen Wen was speechless, but he also felt that it made sense, nodded, and eliminated the unrealistic idea of making a fortune in his head.

Li Suniang glanced at the box and said, "You silkworm is like this?" ”

Chen Wen nodded, it just rained today, the air humidity is also appropriate, and it will not be too cold or too hot, and this box can be loaded, looking at it is not an ordinary box, it should be suitable for silkworm egg hatching.

The silkworm eggs are small, and if you move them around, you are afraid of spilling them, and it is not easy to pick them up.

Let it be like this for a few days, and then observe it for a few days.

Li Suniang sighed, feeling that there was little chance that she would be able to feed. Alas, I knew that I had persuaded her in the first place, and I would not have wasted fifty copper plates in vain.

Chen Wen didn't know that her grandmother was retreating in her heart, she picked up the candle and stood up slowly, "Go to sleep." ”
