Chapter 52: Silk Changing Color
At night, the two big men moved quite quickly, and the frame of the wooden house was quickly erected, and the wall was almost erected.
Bai Zhi looked at the two people sitting on the side resting and asked, "The frame of the house has come out, what about the wall?" ”
It's not like their house, with wood chips, right?
To be honest, she misses the modern cement brick and concrete walls, which are as strong as they are.
And where they live now, every night in the middle of the night, in the dead of night, Bai Zhi always has to worry about not being attacked by wild beasts.
The walls of their thatched huts are made of wood thatch, and the security and defense are almost zero.
Duan Xun raised his eyes and looked at the sky and said: "It's getting late now, and there is no way to go to the mountain to prepare other materials, so I can only make up for the night first, and then start tomorrow." ”
Make up for a night?? Where does Qingfeng sleep?
Originally, she saw that Duan Xun didn't like Qingfeng very much, but now she wants to see how he arranges it?
"Duan Xun, what should Qingfeng do that night? Where will he sleep? She asked him deliberately.
I saw Duan Xun glance at her and said, "Why don't you let him live in our house for one night?" ”
Bai Zhi nodded: "This is a good way, although the space in our house is not too big, but it doesn't matter if you make a floor bunk, just take the dry thatch in the yard and spread a straw mat in the house!" ”
Since he treats Qingfeng as his own, there is no reason to let him sleep outside.
Hearing this, Qingfeng shook his head: "I just sleep in the yard, I usually sleep in the open air, and I don't care about sleeping one more night." ”
She was already grateful that she was willing to take him in, and she didn't want her to embarrass him anymore.
Bai Zhi didn't think about it so much, she only regarded Qingfeng as a younger brother.
In her previous life, she was not young, and Qingfeng was only 19 years old, no matter how you look at him, he just looks like a big boy.
Duan Xun's eyes darkened and said, "Qingfeng, let's lay the floor in the house!" If we live at the foot of the mountain, it is inevitable that some beasts will come down at night, and it is more or less safe to sleep in the house! ”
After hearing his words, Qing Feng shrank down before nodding in response: "Okay!" ”
After dinner, the two men were busy all afternoon, and they were also covered in stinky sweat, so they took a shower at night, and after changing their clothes, Duan Xun still had a set of clothes prepared by Mrs. Yang who participated in the flower viewing banquet before, and Qingfeng ......
Bai Zhi sighed: "It seems that their family has to hurry up and make some money, otherwise they won't even have money to buy a change of clothes." ”
At night, the three of them slept in a cabin, and for some reason, Bai Zhi slept the deepest that night, and slept until dawn.
I never woke up in the middle of the night, listening to the screams of the wild beasts on the mountain, I knew that it was far away, but I still couldn't help but be afraid that those wild beasts would run down the mountain.
Early in the morning, Bai Zhi warmed up the leftover food from last night, and the two men went up the mountain after eating, leaving her alone at home to play with her silkworm baby.
She remembered that the silkworm would break out of the cocoon after pupae, so the cocoon would be useless, so she thought of a way to put the cocoon in the pot and use the water separation method to steam the silkworm to death in the cocoon, which not only did not destroy the silk, but also solved the problem of the silkworm breaking the cocoon into a butterfly.
Bai Zhi was surprised to find that the green cocoons were blue after being steamed at high temperatures.
It's green, but how can it turn blue? Then she thought about it, holding the blue cocoon, she soaked it in cold water again, and slowly the blue cocoon gradually changed color to fiery red.
Bai Zhi's eyes were big, she had never seen such a magical cocoon, she only remembered that modern cocoons are generally white, and after forming a pupa form, the silkworm chrysalis in the cocoon will be killed by high temperature without harming the cocoon.
She knows and understands all of this, but this is the first time she has seen a discolored cocoon.
Bai Zhi thinks that these silkworm cocoons will definitely sell for a good price, but she doesn't know where to sell them!
So, she put away the cocoons and sold them when the opportunity was right!
After everything was done, Bai Zhi wanted to go to the river to pick up some crabs, she never knew that she would be so fond of crabs! Perhaps the mountains and water here are good, and the crabs are also fat and delicious.
So she picked up the straw basket at home and walked to the river, there are no clothes to wash today, the empty straw basket, Bai Zhi always feels that something is missing, usually either to load some clothes to wash, or to load something else to wash.
Because it was morning when a lot of people were squatting by the river to wash clothes, Bai Zhi did not pick up the clothes and start washing them like them, but bent down on the riverside and began to pick up the crabs that ran out of the water.
It's not the first time she's picked up crabs, so it's no surprise that she's already surprised.
After Dayun finished washing her clothes, she saw that she was still guarding the river and waiting for the crabs to come out of the water and throw themselves into the net.
So he came over and squatted beside her and said, "White girl, I heard that there are more people in your family now, is it any of your relatives?" ”
Bai Zhi was slightly stunned: "How did Sister Yun know?" ”
Qingfeng only came yesterday, has it already spread?
I really can't hold anything.
"Hey, don't be polite to me, someone came back from digging wild vegetables in the mountains yesterday, saying that they saw that there were more people in your family, and they were building houses! Can this be fake? Dayun stabbed her with his arm and was close to her.
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes, why didn't she see anyone passing by near his house?
So he said with a smile: "I really can't hide anything, Sister Yun's magic eye, yesterday I went to the street with my husband to buy something, and I saw a beggar on the road, which was very pitiful, and I just felt that I also fell in love, so I brought him to the house, anyway, two people have also been, and one more person is just like that, nothing difficult or difficult." ”
She fiddled with the crabs in the box, thinking that all she had eaten recently was steamed crabs, or she would have a braised crab at noon, and it would be a change of taste.
Seeing what she said lightly, Da Yun couldn't help but be a little worried about her: "Sister Bai, it's not that my sister is troublesome, since the road to the outside of our village has been broken, every year it is not as good as a year, every year the court officials come by boat from the waterway, and leave after collecting taxes and grain, and I didn't see him say that he will report to the court and repair the road, and the rich people can still build ships, so we ordinary people can only wait and see, and if we want to go out, the money for the boat is enough to eat food for many days!" ”
Bai Zhi didn't know what Da Yun was telling her for this, so she just lowered her head and listened silently.
Finally, Da Yun sighed: "Sister! You are already outsiders, and you don't have good land, what can you do with three mouths! ”
Finally she understood, and went around and around, afraid that they wouldn't be able to eat!
"Sister Yun, don't worry, my father-in-law has some skills on him, there is no problem with taking Qingfeng to hunt, the food is still eaten, my sister is too worried," she couldn't cry or laugh, she really didn't know what to say!
At this time, Da Yun whispered again: "Do you remember what I told you yesterday about Aunt Li? In the past two days, I have seen her wandering around the village and not doing anything, which is very strange! Is it really pregnant? ”
Hearing this, she lowered her head, Aunt Li and She Yujin were in the same group, whether she was good or bad, she didn't want to care at all.
So he replied to her: "Sister Yun, I really don't know about Aunt Li, didn't Dr. She show her last time?" I think it should solve her problem! ”
