Chapter 386: Colorful Silkworms!
Bernie picked up the pink bag and opened it carefully, only to see that it was all pink cloth, and it seemed to have some white, "Xiaoxiao, how do you wear this dress?" ”
"So, you go take a shower first, and then I'll teach you." Zhong Xuyao took them to the bathroom of the guest room and taught them how to use toiletries.
By the time all four of them came out in full-breasted skirts, it was already an hour later.
Bernie walked cautiously, lest he step on his skirt.
"Be careful with this kind of clothing." Nikita walked crookedly, and like Bernie, she always felt that the next step would be to step on her skirt.
"The length of this skirt is above the top of the feet, so you won't step on it when you walk normally, but it's hard to say when you squat." Zhong Xuyao reminded.
"No wonder, you said it wasn't suitable for wearing outside." Bernie twisted his body a little awkwardly.
"Once you're used to it, you're not so nervous." Zhong Xuyao said with a smile.
At this time, the hair of all four people was draped and fixed to the top of their heads with a hairpin.
"Xiaoxiao, how do you make this kind of colored silk?" Nikita looked at the fiery red thread on his clothes, and his eyes were full of fire.
At present, there are only two kinds of threads in the tribe, white and gold, and Zhong Xuyao's silk threads have more than six.
"The cost is relatively large." Zhong Xuyao scratched his head embarrassedly, "I fed a lot of silkworms to death because of this." ”
These threads are certainly beautiful, but they are all silk spit out by silkworms, and some leaves are poisonous in themselves, while others are not suitable for silkworms to eat. When she was sick and rushed to the doctor, she killed a lot of silkworms.
However, she also sorted out a lot of colors. At the same time, she also distinguishes these silkworms by color.
For example, the silkworm that spits out the purple silk thread selects the three best pairs of purple silkworms and uses them to hatch the next generation.
After the eggs of the next generation of silkworms hatch into ants, they continue to feed them with magical god flowers and leaves. And the color spit out by this batch of silkworms will be more pure.
After that, continue to pick the best silkworms in this batch to hatch the next generation. Keep it up. In this way, she will be able to get a purer purple silk thread.
Perhaps because of the unique characteristics of the Magic God Flower, now, the purple silk threads spit out by the silkworm can even emit some purple light at night.
"How?" Nikita
"It's just to feed them different leaves, and they want to be non-toxic." Zhong Xuyao
"Can silkworm babies eat other leaves?" Nikita was suddenly full of question marks. She always thought that silkworms could only eat mulberry leaves.
"They can eat it, but they only like to eat mulberry leaves, and the other leaves are easy for them to eat, and they are easy to die." Zhong Xuyao
"Xiaoxiao, can I take a look at your silkworm breeding base?" Nikita asked cautiously.
She really likes this colorful dress. I really want to raise a batch by myself.
"Yes." Zhong Xuyao took them directly to his silkworm house.
When the four of them stood at the door, they felt the difference in the sericulture house.
The inside of the silkworm house is somewhat similar to their cave, and it is made of stone and earth on all sides.
It's just that, in comparison, the lighting here is better, and even if you stand in the room, you can see the things inside.
The sericulture house is somewhat similar to that built by the tribe, with layers of cocoons around the walls and rows of silkworms in the middle.
It's just that the colors on each frame are a little different.
Nikita jumped in front of a bamboo sieve, where purple silkworms were struggling to nibble on a purple leaf.
On the edge of the frame, there is a kind of red leaves, and the silkworms on the leaves are red.
Nikita tilted his head, a little puzzled: "Xiaoxiao, is it not that it eats any color of leaves, and spits out what color of silk?" ”
"It seems so." Zhong Xuyao Until now, she herself doesn't know much about the principle. Anyway, as long as you can raise colorful silkworms, it's fine. She didn't delve into other issues.
"I'll try it later." Nikita
"Xiaoxiao, it's tiring for you to take care of these alone." Bernie looked at the silkworms around him, and there was some distress in his eyes.
Zhong Xuyao is usually outside during the day, but I am afraid that he can only work on the farm at night. When she thought of these things, she was doing them in the middle of the night, and she felt that the clothes she was holding were really uneasy.
"It's fine. You forgot, I can control items remotely, and it's also very convenient to pick mulberry leaves or something. Moreover, the ages of these silkworms are classified. It is also very convenient if you want to move silkworms on a regular basis. "Zhong Xuyao
Bernie suddenly remembered Zhong Xuyao's imperial ability, "That's fine. Xiaoxiao, if there is anything you can't do, you must say oh, we will definitely help you. ”
"Okay." Zhong Xuyao smiled.
After continuing to visit for a while, Zhong Xuyao took them out of the sericulture house.
Walking slowly on the soft grass, suddenly, Ellen's movements stopped, "Xiaoxiao, don't you have a dark night here?" ”
When they came in, it was already about nine o'clock in the evening, but until now, it was still as bright as day, and if there were any lighting tools in the house, there was still a way to say that it had passed, but now, they were in the wild.
"yes, shouldn't it be night?" Bernie was also puzzled.
"I don't know, I'm only in the day." Zhong Xuyao spread his hands.
"Really?" Bernie was amazed.
"Well, it's always been like this." Zhong Xuyao nodded, "There is no night here. ”
"If only there wasn't night in the tribe." Bernie
"yes, that way, we can cook at night." Nikita also agrees with Bernie's idea.
Although there are torches and candles in the tribe now, the brightness of these things is not very high. In this case, needlework is simply not possible.
They usually watch the weather and do things, and if there is no moon, they only give the shuttle of the loom on the line. As long as you hold the candle closer, you can barely see it. If there was a moon and the brightness of the torches, they could do some simple needlework.
Recently, in order to save these materials, they no longer do these tasks at night. I will only make some dried radishes and other things at night.
"There are also benefits of the night." Zhong Xuyao shook his head with a smile, "It will tell you that it's dark and you're going to rest." No matter how strong a person is, he can't go days and nights without rest. The reason why I fainted last time was because I couldn't tell the difference between day and night when I stayed here, and I didn't know how to rest. ”
"Also, the last time you fell asleep, you almost scared us to death." Bernie
"yes." Zhong Xuyao
"But Xiaoxiao, the light here is so bright, won't you sleep well?" Nikita
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Zhong Xuyao shrugged, "Okay, don't mention my business." Let's talk about Nikita. ”
"That's right." Bernie looked Nikita up and down.
At this time, Nikita was wearing a flaming red full-breasted skirt. The sleeves and hem of the skirt are embroidered with small daisies with gold thread. On the pink skirt on the chest, the branches and leaves of small daisies are embroidered.
