"Cousin, do you know what medicine can be disinfected and sterilized?" Although Sheng Zi'an was an excellent war doctor, she still didn't know much about the effects of some ancient medicines, so she had to ask Yang Xiuting.

"Sanitize? Boil a large pot of water with astragalus, Chuanxiong, and angelica, and fill the room with medicinal gas, which can disinfect the gas in the room. If it is clothing, it can be the size of the male yellow tung seed, and burn the smoke in the fire to smoke the foot bandage, grass shoes, and the leader room to disinfect. ”

Yang Xiuting seemed to be a little proud.

Because Sheng Zi'an had said too much about medical skills that he didn't know in the past two days, he felt a little frustrated. Now that Sheng Zi'an even has medical skills to ask him, Yang Xiuting is of course overjoyed.

"Cousin, I'll lead them to use silk to make the things that need to be added to the thickened veil, and after the registration is over, I ask you to look for the medicinal materials that need to be used for disinfection, and prepare the materials and wait for us to make them and disinfect them directly."

"Okay, Zi'an, I see." Yang Xiuting was a little worried that Sheng Zi'an's weak body couldn't bear such fatigue. He continued to ask: "Zi'an, don't you really want to rest, it's too tiring, your body won't be able to support it." ”

"Cousin, my own body knows it by itself, don't worry about me." Yang Xiuting didn't say anything.

Sheng Zi'an said to Li Langzhong again: "Li Langzhong, after the registration of the people who are willing to help make the veil is completed, you can take them to make the veil, and this time the veil can be made of lighter cloth as much as possible." ”

Li Langzhong nodded, the matter was finally arranged, and Sheng Zi'an had time to drink a sip of water. After a while, the villagers finished registering, Yang Xiuting hurriedly went to look for medicinal materials, and Li Langzhong also went to lead everyone to make the veil, leaving Sheng Zi'an with the biggest project here, making the things that need to be used to adsorb germs in the thickened veil.

Because there was no condition to make polypropylene fiber in ancient times, Sheng Zi'an thought that it could also be made with silk. Silk is also a thin and dense material, so silk can be placed in a thickened veil.

Because silk is made of the liquid spit out by silkworms and then solidified, it is a natural protein molecule, which not only has good hygroscopicity, but also has good air permeability.

Moreover, silk fabrics can also absorb moisture, and the sweat and metabolites discharged by our bodies can be absorbed by mulberry silk fabrics, so as to keep our skin clean and adsorb some bacteria. So weigh it up now, silk is the most suitable item for making a thickened veil. But the villagers won't understand these things, and Sheng Zi'an didn't want to explain this, or it would be another big project.

Because of the plague, almost all of the cocoons in everyone's hands are now instead of the silk that has been matured and has been made, so Sheng Zi'an still has to follow everyone step by step until the cocoons are turned into silk.

"Who will lead everyone to make silk, I don't know much about the production process of silk, take this opportunity to learn too." Sheng Zi'an asked, not to mention making silk, it was the first time I had seen so many cocoons.

"Let Aunt Li take everyone to make it! The silk they make is the best we have. A villager said.

"Which one is Aunt Li? I'm sorry for you to lead the group. Sheng Zi'an asked.

Then a kind woman came out of the crowd, who looked to be about forty years old, and could clearly see that the bones and tendons on the back of her hand were protruding, and the skin on her hand was also full of wrinkles. But the hands look ruddy, powerful, and dexterous. Presumably this woman is what they call Aunt Li!

"Girl, I am Aunt Li." Aunt Li walked out, and then she continued: "There are only four steps to make silk, that is, burning, pulling, drying and pulling, and each of these steps is very important. ”

"Then let's get started and try to get it done before it gets dark. Excuse me, Aunt Li. ”

Aunt Li began to describe the process of making silk in detail: "This first step is to burn, this step is the foundation and the most important. As the name suggests, burning is to boil silkworm cocoons in boiling water. This step can also be called boiling cocoons, boiling cocoons is very particular, first of all, the time must be mastered, if the cooking is too bad, the silk will clump. Be sure to grasp the heat and time. ”

After listening to this, everyone began to cook cocoons, because Aunt Li is the person who makes silk with the best effect in the village, so everyone wants to take this opportunity to learn Aunt Li's craftsmanship, and their own silk can be sold at a good price in the future.

At this time, Xiao Jue returned from the west side of the village. He saw from afar that Sheng Zi'an was busy before and after, and he didn't stop for a moment. I couldn't help but feel a little guilty in my heart that I had let my wife be busy alone for so long.

"Zi'an." Xiao Jue hugged Sheng Zi'an's waist from behind, leaned over and whispered her name in her ear. Sheng Zi'an was taken aback by this sudden gentleness.

Sheng Zi'an's face flushed: "There are so many people, and my husband doesn't pay attention to it." Only then did Xiao Jue take his hands away from Sheng Zi'an's waist.

"Madame has worked hard, seeing you so tired, I feel very distressed for my husband. I'll take care of the rest, and Madame just needs to rest well and be at ease. ”

"Husband, I know all your kindness. But not today, I have to follow them to finish the silk, and I must make the thickened veil by tomorrow morning. Sheng Zi'an didn't agree to rest, and time waits for no one now.

Sheng Zi'an saw that only Xiao Jue came back, but King Yu did not come back, so he asked suspiciously, "Where is my father?" Why didn't he come back with you? ”

Seeing that Xiao was reluctant to mention his father, Sheng Zi'an didn't ask much.

At this time, everyone had already cooked the cocoons.

Aunt Li continued: "This second step is to dial. We need to put the cocoons one by one in our hands and remove the pupa and their black peeling, so that the silk we make will be very clean and free of impurities. We can go to the creek in our village to do this process, because the flowing water will help us to dispose of these impurities faster. ”

So they went together to the river. Xiao Jue also followed him to Xiaohe. He and Sheng Zi'an frolicked by the river for a while, which could be regarded as bringing some joy to the boring and depressing life of the past two days.

After everyone washed the cocoons, it was noon, and the sun was very sufficient, just enough to dry the cleaned cocoons. Aunt Sun instructed everyone to spread out these silkworm cocoons one by one, and then fix them on the wooden frame that has been erected, pull the silkworm cocoons evenly and fix them on the wooden frame, and wait for them to be completely dried before proceeding to the next step.

Taking advantage of the time of drying silkworm cocoons, Sheng Zi'an can finally rest a little.

After returning to the room, Sheng Zi'an didn't care about the image, and spread the whole person on the bed, like an octopus. Maybe it was because he was so tired, Sheng Zi'an fell asleep immediately.

Xiao Jue couldn't help but laugh when he saw Sheng Zi'an's appearance, how could this still be the leadership style of directing everyone outside just now, this is clearly a child. After the silk was dried, Sheng Zi'an hadn't gotten up yet, and Xiao Jue couldn't bear to call her, so he went to see the last step of making silk by himself.

"This last step is pull, and it's the most critical step. This step requires two people to cooperate to pull a sun-dried silkworm cocoon into a long width about the length of a person's length, and pay attention to evenness when pulling, not one more piece here and one less piece there, and then stack the three pieces of silk together, and a thin silk product is completed. ”

After Aunt Sun finished speaking, everyone started to move, because everyone does this on weekdays, so they pulled up the silk very quickly, and when Sheng Zi'an woke up and found that Xiao was not there, and when he went to the river, the silk had been made.

"Husband, why didn't you wake me up." Sheng Zi'an was worried that Xiao Jue would not be able to handle this matter alone.

"I see that Madame is too tired and want Madame to rest more. Now that the silk has been made, Madame will see what to do next. ”

It's almost evening now, and a lot of the veils on Li Langzhong's side have been made, Yang Xiuting's medicinal materials have also been found, and the silk on Sheng Zi'an's side has also been made, so you only need to combine them together, and thickening the veil will be considered complete.

"I think everyone is tired today, we have already prepared dinner for everyone, everyone can go to eat and fill their stomachs first. Come back after eating and stitch up the thickened veil, and we're done. Sheng Zi'an said to the villagers.

After the villagers left, Sheng Zi'an said to Yang Xiuting: "Cousin, let's boil the medicinal herbs now, and when the villagers finish sewing the thickened veil, they can directly disinfect the thickened veil." After speaking, Yang Xiuting organized people to cook medicinal herbs.

After the villagers finished eating, Sheng Zi'an organized them to sew the silk into two pieces of white yarn, and the thickened veil was considered to be completed.

"Everyone has worked hard today! Now we will hand out the thickened veil to everyone, and everyone can go home. A thickened veil can ward off the plague, but don't take it lightly! Just in case! After Sheng Zi'an finished speaking, the villagers went home.

Huh~ Today's work is finally completed, Sheng Zi'an is almost tired and collapsed, and tomorrow I can finally go to see the people infected with the plague.

After returning to the room, Xiao Jue told Sheng Zi'an what happened today on the Five Princes' side.

"Zi'an, when I went to the Five Princes today, my father insisted on entering the room to see the Five Princes, and I tried every means to dissuade my father from going in, but I just cared a few words across the room." Xiao Jue was still a little lost when he spoke, although he had been separated from his father since he was a child, but the blood of father and son was thicker than water. But his father cared so much about the five princes he had never met, Xiao Jue really couldn't understand it.
