Lu Jian'an naturally had a plan, she was not idle yesterday, and inquired a lot, every household here lives by planting mulberry and raising silkworms, and one acre of mulberry land costs ten taels of silver, plus silkworm seeds, even the most expensive expenses cost more than ten taels of silver, and the ten taels of silver in their hands have not done anything.

Besides, what can you do with an acre of mulberry field?

After a year of hard work, according to the current prices, it is good that they can eat enough, and it is basically impossible for them to make a big improvement.

Just this day's yellow rice porridge?

Lu Jian'an can't say that he dislikes it, but he really dislikes it.

She wants a quality of life, not just to live.

There is certainly a difference between being alive and being happily alive.

Not to mention big fish and meat, at least it can't be yellow rice porridge.

Mama Li is pouring her belly into the soup.

Seriously, it's not hungry at all.

She's not a wronged master.

Therefore, in order to plan for the future, it is inevitable to buy land to grow mulberry and raise silkworms, and if you can't be a traverser who dominates the world, at least you can be a rich idler.

Adequate food and clothing should be the minimum standard.

Now is the time to achieve this goal.

Before Lu Jian'an could take a breath, the door was knocked one after another, and sure enough, after Li Da yesterday, some people came to the door one after another with bad cocoons to deliver goods.

Mama Li just wanted to fight out, but was stopped by Lu Jian'an.

After a day's work, another 200 catties of bad cocoons were collected one after another, and 300 catties of silkworm cocoons had been piled up in the utility room over there.

Inside the tall baskets are blue-black cocoons.

Mama Li looked at the pile of cyan silkworm cocoons with grievances and complaints in her stomach, but Lu Jian'an is the young master, the only man in this family, as long as the Xu family does not come forward, they are the biggest family members, who can say anything.

This family is confused.

She's a subordinate.

Even if it is Xu's grandmother, she is also a subordinate, and she has no right to say anything.

After Mama Li persuaded the Xu family to no avail, she also stopped honestly, but unfortunately she threw a cloudy face, giving people a look at every turn, Lu Jian'an was also annoyed, not that the ancient slave respected the master very much, but as soon as she came, she met a slave bully, what is the matter.

To say that Mama Li is not a good person, and she really wronged her, this old mama is bent on defending the Xu family, and there is really no bad intentions in the rest, it is because of this that Lu Jian'an did not have a seizure, there are not many people in the family, and it is not her ability to lose her temper with Mama Li.

The situation at home is already like this, and it can still make flowers.

At this time, you need to hire people.

But their family has no money to hire people, and no money to buy people, so they have to find their own way, and making money is the king, otherwise I am afraid that in another year, I am afraid that they will really go hungry.

Xue Han is still waiting for his eldest brother to give him meat, the little girl is not greedy, but the more this is the case, the more Lu Jian'an feels that it is his responsibility to make this little girl eat well.

A child of this age is growing up, and this child is malnourished.

Things are still a lot worse, she has to go out to prepare things for silk reeling, since she wants to reel silk, of course, it is to make cooked silk, also called silk training, a pound of raw silk costs 200 Wen, cooked silk she inquired, to double the price, these 300 catties of bad cocoons according to their own method to do down, at least 20 catties of cooked silk, this is at least eight taels of silver, their own cost is only more than one or two pieces of broken silver, the profit is huge.

Even if it's for an acre of mulberry fields, she has to work hard.

If you want to make this cooked silk, you also need to make some chemical reagents! To put it bluntly, it is actually very easy, that is, the processed soap liquid and alkaline water, the ratio is appropriate, and the quality of the naturally cooked silk is very good! Of course, the temperature and the number of water changes are also key.

When he went out, he realized that many people outside the door saw him with wrong eyes, as if they were looking at two fools.

Probably everyone thought that he was just a strange scholar, who didn't serve farming and crafts, so he would have a hot brain and do this kind of thing.

Lu Jian'an bought some of the things he needed, the water for making silk reeling, silk reeling is not just casual water, white and bright silk has technical content in it.

The untreated silk on the silk is attached to certain impurities, the main one is sericin, if it is not properly removed, it can not get the suitable silk, and the silk can not show its unique softness, slenderness and luster characteristics.

The first process is to remove these impurities, but what she wants is not only to remove impurities, but also to change from raw silk to cooked silk, which is to add chemicals to the water of silk reeling, in fact, it is very simple to say, it is the chemical reaction of soap and alkaline water, of course, it is simple to say, and the proportion formula should be evenly blended is a technical work.

The soap beans in the grocery store can only be refined by themselves, and the soap is said to be used by the nobles, who are considered to be in the countryside, so naturally they can't afford it, and no one can afford to use it, only the shops in Fucheng can sell it.

There is such a thing as alkali, but it is not pure, so go back and find a way to refine and process it yourself.

Thanks to the fact that she has been studying this for decades, it is these ancient methods of handmade silk that she has studied, otherwise it would be a real problem.

The biggest advantage of this place is that silk is very important here, and the important one can even replace the circulation of silver money, many people do this, this industry is a sunrise industry, it is said that the big family even has a special school to train disciples to pass it on from generation to generation.

I walked into the grocery store, bought what I wanted, and was about to leave.

But I don't want to be blocked by someone.

A voice sounded, and when I looked up, I saw a young man smiling at him, not warm, but giving people the feeling of smiling and not smiling.

"This is not Lu Gongzi!"

Lu Jian'an confirmed that the original owner didn't know him, but they had just come to settle down in this place, and they didn't have a firm foothold on their heels, how could they have acquaintances, of course, they might have something to do with the Xu family.

"Sixth brother, this is Master Cao, the master of the Cao family's silk workshop."

A person next to him spoke, and Lu Jian'an recognized that it was Xu Mengshan, the eldest son of his uncle Xu Yuan, and they could be regarded as having met, when his father was at the funeral, he also had to call his eldest brother, Xu Mengshan, who was the eldest in the Xu family, had now walked around on behalf of Xu Yuan and learned to run the business of the Xu family's silk factory.

"Big brother, Master Cao!"

Lu Jian'an bowed his hand, in principle, there was no conflict between the two waves of people, but she could see that this Master Cao seemed to look at herself as if she was on top, and she looked down on herself.

The problem is that Lu Jian'an wondered, he didn't provoke this Master Cao.

It means a few things to get up and block the way.
