Chapter 118: Silkworm Raising
The Lu family was busy. Wild Sand Literature Network
Because there are more people.
Lu Jian'an sent the two brothers Li Zhilin and Xu Mengshan to the county seat to buy another 300 catties of brown rice.
Now the two Li Zhilin brothers are helping Xu Mengshan do some errands and chores.
Lu Jian'an let them live in the outer courtyard, and divided them into two houses to live in the covered room outside the outer courtyard.
The good thing about the house here is that it is very big, because this house of the Lu family is a standard courtyard house.
In fact, there are a lot of houses in the two-entry house.
Originally, the population was small, and many houses were empty.
But an empty house is prone to breakage.
At that time, Mama Li and Xu were also worried for a long time.
It's a good thing that the young master is capable.
But their family is actually a little bit smaller.
Now that there are more of these people, even the Xu family feels that the family is more popular.
Look at this house is two.
But in fact, Old Man Li went to the gatehouse.
Now the Lu family also has a gray-haired and energetic old janitor.
The two sons of the Li family live with Xu Mengshan, and the three daughters and mothers-in-law of the family have to work in the backyard.
Naturally, there is also a room for living.
It is a time for several people to return home when they reach the holidays, which can be regarded as a time for family reunion.
Yes, holidays.
Lu Jian'an stipulated.
There are two days off in a month.
It is better to take separate breaks, and there must be no less people to work.
That's the big picture.
How could the eldest sister-in-law Li and the second sister-in-law not know.
Those slaves who are sold to the rich and noble families in the county town are not so comfortable.
I can go home once a year, and the owner is still kind-hearted.
They are truly content.
It's not okay to be grateful to the Lu family.
Now I eat well, live well, as long as I work well, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and I can still have money in my hand.
This kind of good thing is not all the speed of the head of his own family.
I didn't expect such a good thing to happen.
More and more hard work.
Sister-in-law Li followed Mama Li to learn to cook.
is also a smart person, although Mama Li has a bad mouth, but she has also worked in a large family before, so she naturally has a means of how to clean up those slaves and maids.
After a while, the backyard was arranged by her in an orderly manner.
Several daughters of the Li family have been trained quite a bit.
The youngest eight-year-old Li Erhua followed Lu Xuehan and became a girl, mainly because Lu Xuehan needed someone to follow.
Otherwise, this girl would be able to run to the front yard every day.
Now there are more men in the family, and the front and back yards are strictly separated.
Unless it is a special reason to do the work, the men in the front yard are never allowed to run into the back yard.
Of course, Lu Jian'an is excepted.
Even Xu Mengshan was not allowed to go to the backyard if he was fine.
Mama Li felt that the current appearance of their family had some precursors of a large family.
The rules must be beaten so that these people do not make mistakes.
At that time, if the young master of his family business is bigger, he will need many people.
She has to do a good job in the backyard.
The Lu family can't be criticized.
Mama Li is sincerely happy for the Lu family.
So when Lu Jian'an arrived in the backyard, he really saw a different scene.
Everything became organized.
Do things in an orderly manner.
is also a great praise for Mama Li.
Mama Li saw that Lu Jian'an didn't feel that she was pointing fingers and taking away the power of the family, and she was comforted.
Lu Jian'an actually saw it.
Xu is not a stand-up person.
Mama Li on the side is actually not a good thing.
There is a person who can live in town, and she is still willing to give Mama Li's authority.
Besides, Mama Li is different from others.
The Li family is a family, and they are always a little selfish.
Perfect.
But Mama Li had no children or daughters, and even her relatives died in the disaster year.
To put it bluntly, even if Mama Li has some rights, there is no place to go for personal gain.
This is what Lu Jian'an is most assured of.
In Mama Li's eyes, I'm afraid that the Xu family is her closest person.
Lu Jian'an can't compare.
That's really for the loyal servants of the Xu family who can die.
This is also why Lu Jian'an is relieved.
Now the front and back yards have been separated for food.
Never eat at one table again.
There are five more big men in the family.
The front and back yards have been completely separated.
The son of the Lu family lived peacefully.
The sericulture business began.
Xu Mengshan finally opened his mouth in the tofu shop, because he was a regular customer and wanted tofu dregs! Or buy, the tofu shop is naturally happy.
It's pie in the sky.
Although the money is not much, these are things to feed the pigs, and they are not worth a penny in the first place.
Now I can have some silver, and the owner of the tofu shop is also happy in his heart.
said that every tofu residue in the tofu workshop was sent by the Lu family to pull it.
The two Li Zhilin brothers would drive the ox cart to pull away the tofu dregs.
No one knows what the Lu family wants so much tofu dregs for.
In fact, at this point, everyone should be able to guess it.
Lu Jian'an used the method of raising silkworms with tofu residue invented by modern people in later generations to solve the problem of sericulture food is not green.
At first, when Xu Yuan saw the tofu slag, he couldn't believe it.
This thing, feed the silkworms?
Never seen it before.
But it can't be helped! The ants and silkworms have already hatched.
If you don't feed it, you won't starve to death.
It's October.
The mulberry tree has long since lost its leaves.
The temperature outside is getting worse day by day.
At this time, the wall of fire and the ground cage showed their effect.
After the burning, the room was indeed much warmer.
Watching those ant silkworms eating tofu dregs, it was so sweet.
Stay in front of the ants and silkworms for three or five days in a row.
Looking at the ant silkworms that grow little by little.
Xu Yuan was relieved.
It seems that he is inferior to his son.
An Ge'er is definitely a disciple of the silkworm god Niangniang.
As for this method of raising silkworms, not to mention that they don't have it in Chen State, even the entire continent has never heard of it.
This psychology instantly turns into worship.
I already knew that Lu saw An Tianlei kill people.
Those are just hearsay.
They hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
Now I have seen ant silkworms grow into adult silkworms day by day.
The heart is getting hotter and hotter.
This is simply the God of Wealth.
No wonder the son said that he had food with the master.
Look at the little leakage in Lu Jian'an's hand, and they will eat it with them.
There is an extra season of silkworms in this winter, and the cocoons will come out when the time comes! You don't have to reel the silk for others.
When the dry cocoons of their own house are reeled out, they can see the silver money when they are opened at home.
Especially when the major silk mills are not connected, even if there is some inventory.
Nor can it be compared with theirs.
At that time, the price of raw silk is the highest price of the year.
Xu Yuan thought about it in his heart.
It's still a son who has a good eye.
At this moment, even Feng, who was worried and couldn't sleep all night, was also steady.
A family of three is at ease and cares about silkworms.
Lu Jian'an's side naturally didn't need to say anything.
The Li family, Luo Qing, Wei Ran, and Zhao Xiaoman regarded Lu Jian'an as immortals.
Raising silkworms in winter is simply unheard of.
This is really only a disciple of the silkworm god Niangniang has such a ability.
