Chapter 51: A whiter cocoon

The silkworms raised by silkworm farmers in Yunshui Town began to spin silk one after another, and the Tan family in the town also began to be busy harvesting silkworm cocoons and silk.

Yao Dong is also very busy, going everywhere to collect it. This time, the silk produced by the Tan family itself is not good, and the quality is not good, so Master Tan hopes to collect more cocoons.

The silkworms at home don't have to be carefully taken care of after spinning, and the Wang family is also busy with the work in the fields.

In addition to some of the Zhou family's fields, mulberry trees were planted, and the others were also planted with rice.

Ye Xi's injuries were not all healed, and the Wang family didn't let her work in the fields, so she took care of the housework at home.

Yao Nu knew that Ye Xi was at home, so she came to Ye Xi with a needlework and did some needlework by the way.

In this rural area, many people's clothes and shoes are made at home, so there is a lot of needlework throughout the year. There are also embroidery skills that are good, and you can also pick up some embroidery work from the town to earn some money to supplement the family.

Ye Xi looked at Yao Nu embroidering the vamps, and the embroidery was very bright.

"You're pretty good at what you do." Ye Xi said with a smile. She remembered that her grandmother in her previous life would also make shoes for her and Xiaoyi, although in that era, there was no shortage of all kinds of shoes on the market, but she still cherished the shoes made by her grandmother.

The dress is light and warm, and when I think about it, my memory is full of warmth.

It's a pity that she didn't learn her grandmother's craft.

"If you want to talk about the craftsmanship of this embroidery, no one can compare with the Ye family's aunt! She embroidered flowers as if they were alive. Yao Nu said suddenly. It's a pity that she passed away early. ”

Ye Xi recalled the memories of the Xie family, probably because the Xie family had passed away for too long, and it was very vague in his memory.

However, she knew that Xie had a good hand in embroidery, and because of her good craftsmanship, there were people who would come to Xie to help embroider wedding dresses.

At that time, the life of the Ye family was quite good.

However, in recent years, Ye Degui has rushed to the exam several times, and his family wealth has almost been scattered.

In this era, reading is quite a luxury, books, paper and pens are not cheap, reading is shackled, and the exam is entangled...... Everywhere there is spending.

Xie left early, Ye Xi or Xin Yao had never learned Xie's craftsmanship, and every time someone in the village talked about it, it was a pity and regret.

"It's all my fault, what do I do when I say this." Yao Nu hurriedly snorted.

"My mother has passed away for many years, I won't think much about it." Ye Xi shook his head.

After sitting and talking for a while, Yao Nu said that she wanted to see the cocoons of the Zhou family, and the two went to the silkworm room.

After looking at the cocoon, Yao Nu was quite surprised, "Why is your silk so white?" As he spoke, he reached out and gently stroked the cocoon.

"Is it whiter than yours?" Ye Xi was a little surprised by Yao Nu's reaction, in her opinion, isn't silk all so white?

"It's whiter than mine." Yao Nu nodded seriously, "If it's really the silkworm you raised, it's better." ”

"What does this mean? Aren't they all the same? Ye Xi smiled, but suddenly remembered that the silkworms at home had fed Tuoye.

Previously, Wang was worried that there would not be enough mulberry leaves, so she proposed to feed some tuo leaves. Grandma used to say that feeding some tuo leaves in moderation can make silk tough and shiny.

In this way, could it be that this is the credit of Takuha?

"You must have used some good method, didn't you?" Yao Nu looked at Ye Xi seriously. "Tell me about it."
