Chapter 25: Silkworms Get Sick
Yao Dong ate a snack and let out a long sigh.
"There was an accident on the other side of the grange, and the silkworms got sick and died a lot at once. The disease spread very quickly, and by the time the cocoon was formed, I didn't know how many I would survive. Yao Dong rubbed his temples.
If most of the silkworms died, the loss would be immeasurable.
It's been a long time, but you can wait for the harvest in a few days, but if something like this happens, the owner is naturally very worried.
The most important thing at the moment is how to control the disease, but I also found several people who are very good at raising silkworms to see it, but they are still at a loss.
"Silkworms are sick?" Yao Nu's face also sank, "Won't there be a problem here in Yunshui Town?" ”
There are so many people who raise silkworms, and if the disease spreads everywhere, it will be terrible.
"I don't know if it's going to spread around. At present, there are a lot of deaths on the owner's side, and if this continues, not to mention the ruins of this season's harvest, there will be problems with the previous contract with people. ”
The Tan family has always had an alliance with the wealthy businessmen outside, and there is a minimum requirement for how many silkworm cocoons to be produced each season.
If you can't hand it in, it's a big problem.
"Then what does Master Tan want you to do?"
"Let me help ask if there is anyone who can solve the Tan family's predicament right now! I don't know where to find someone! ”
"Or put up a notice to offer a reward! If a lot of money is given, it will definitely attract a lot of people. Yao Nu said suddenly.
"As long as this matter can be solved, there will definitely be a silver reward, and the owner has always treated people badly. That's fine, I'll have someone make a notice. ”
"Can I go and see?" Ye Xi said suddenly.
"See what?" Yao Nu asked with some confusion.
"Look at the silkworms of Old Man Tan's house. There are so many people and so many ideas, maybe I can think of a way! Ye Xi thought that she was short of silver right now! If you can get Master Tan's reward, you may be able to solve the family's predicament.
"If you want to check it out, of course you can."
Yao Dong asked Ye Xi to wait for a while, he first got the notice and posted it before taking Ye Xi to the grange.
did not question Ye Xi's ability, many local families raise silkworms, and if anyone has some unique skills, it is possible.
After the notice was posted, Yao Dong asked the guys in Buzhuang to pay more attention, and he himself took Ye Xi and Yao Nu out of Buzhuang.
Master Tan's grange is not far from the town, so it doesn't take too long. From a distance, Ye Xi saw a large area of endless mulberry land.
The mulberry leaves are verdant, but they make the hot season a little cooler.
After entering the Grange and walking for a while, I saw rows of houses.
"This is it." Yao Dong said.
When I got close to the house, I saw a middle-aged man wandering, looking anxious, his face was wrinkled, and his fat was about to crumple.
"The owner." Yao Dong shouted, "This is Ye Xi, a girl from our village, she said she wanted to come and see." ”
Master Tan glanced at Ye Xi a few times, "This girl is really young." ”
Hearing this, Ye Xi also knew that Master Tan didn't think she had the ability to turn the tide.
No matter what the era, most people like to judge people by their appearance. It is said that there is no hair on the mouth and the work is not firm, and it seems that young people always give people a sense of instability.
"There are already notices posted in Buzhuang, which should attract some people. There are many people, and there will always be someone who can come up with a way. Yao Dong said.
"Yes, Miss Ye is here, then let's go in and have a look!" Master Tan sighed, his eyes full of sadness.
