Zhao Qianqian thought for a while and added: "There are many mulberry trees on this mountain, and the leaves of the mulberry trees can be used to feed silkworms, and silkworms will spin silk into cocoons, and cocoons will be processed into silk."

Hearing this, Shen Changfeng became interested: "Sister-in-law, can you tell us in detail about the process of silkworms to silk?"

"Yes, we'd like to hear about it too."

Silk is a very precious cloth, only very rich and noble families can afford to wear it, mainly because it is not easy to buy it if you have money, and it is sold from other countries, which is very difficult to find.

Therefore, everyone is very interested in how silk is made.

Zhao Qianqian nodded: "Yes."

Zhao Qianqian explained: "Turning silkworms into silk can be roughly divided into eight steps."

"The first step is to raise silkworms, which are generally fed with mulberry leaves, and silkworms especially like to eat mulberry leaves.

Spread the mulberry leaves on the ground or on the bamboo mat, and then put the silkworm pupa, that is, the silkworm baby, on the mulberry leaves.

Every day, fresh mulberry leaves should be spread for the silkworm baby to eat, and the silkworm baby will reach the second step when it becomes a green silkworm.

The second step is to form a cocoon, when the baby silkworm grows up, it will spin silk and wrap itself in a cocoon chrysalis, and the process of spinning silk is about seven days.

When the silk spinning is completed, the cocoon is covered with silk. At this time, the silkworm baby is still waiting inside to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.

However, if you want to get silk, you can't let it break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, you must deal with the cocoon before it breaks the cocoon, which is the third step to deal with the cocoon.

To deal with silkworm cocoons, these silk that have not been broken into butterflies are scalded with hot water, and the silkworm chrysalis inside are taken out and the cocoons are cleaned.

Cleaning silkworm cocoons is a delicate job, generally done by women, men may not be clean, if not treated well, the silk will turn yellow, affecting the quality of silk, it will affect the quality of silk.

After washing, there is the fourth step, which is to dry the silk.

Drying silk can not be directly exposed to the sun, and direct exposure to the sun will make the silk discolored and black, so it should be dried in a cool place.

After drying, it is the fifth step to cook the silk.

After drying, the silk should be boiled in boiling water, mainly to make the silk change from raw silk to mature silk.

After the silk becomes mature silk, it can be dyed or drawn.

So after cooking, it is the sixth step, the process of weaving and weaving, at this time, a loom is used to wind the silk into silk cloth.

The seventh step is to dye the silk cloth, which needs to be boiled in hot water before dyeing.

The eighth step is to wash and dry, cleaning is to wash off the excess variegated colors until the water is clear, and after drying, it is the finished silk.

Silkworm pupae are edible and have high nutritional value."

Zhao Qianqian told everyone about the breeding process of young silkworms again, and everyone listened very carefully.

Ye Yuxuan asked, "What does the mulberry tree you said look like, when I go back this time, I will bring some back, if I can plant it, I can also produce silk by myself in Xijing in the future, so I don't have to travel thousands of miles to transport it back from Qianqiu."

Zhao Qianqian responded: "No problem, I will prepare all the things you need tomorrow."

"What is the warehouse here used for?" Ye Yuxuan asked.

Zhao Qianqian explained: "The first area stores silkworm cocoons and silk, and the second area stores grain."

Shen Changfeng pointed to the many small single rooms divided into a lot and asked, "What are those small rooms for?"

The foreman explained: "A small single room is a small granary, each small room has a number, when the grain is put into the warehouse, a card will be placed here as a record of the storage date, and when the grain is taken in the future, it will be taken away according to the date of storage, so that there will be no grain left for too long and affect the taste."

Saying that, he led everyone to the bottom of the small granary: "This gate you see is for putting grain, and the grain is poured in from above, and it is released from here, and you only need to use a sack to connect it here, and you can fill it directly, and it is very convenient to get grain."

Zhao Qianqian continued to explain: "In addition, after the grain is put into the warehouse, it will be sealed with this kind of brick, and there is no wood at all, so as to prevent a fire from burning the grain. And if the grain in a small silo is affected by temperature and moisture, it will not affect the grain in other granaries

quality."

Shen Junmo asked, "When we came, we saw that the mountains outside the south gate were all wheat, can this granary store so much grain?"

Zhao Qianqian smiled faintly: "No, the wheat you see is only the part under the mountain, and rapeseed is also planted on the mountain, and this warehouse can store the grain on this mountain at most." We will build a warehouse at the foot of each hill, and maybe expand it in the future, and when the wheat and rapeseed are harvested, we will have rice, corn and sorghum."

Shen Junmo originally thought that this warehouse was built big enough, at least it could store wheat from Nanshan and Beishan, but he didn't expect that there were also Xishan and Dongshan, in addition to growing wheat, he would also grow rice and corn, and he hadn't heard of what sorghum she was talking about.

"Sister-in-law, how did you come up with the idea of doing this?" Shen Changfeng asked.

Zhao Qianqian said: "Because I am a person who has suffered hardships, only when I have money and food can I not panic."

Jinyu asked, "Why do you suffer, don't your family love you?"

Zhao Qian smiled lightly: "No, because they can't help it, but now it's okay, I have so many brothers to make money with me, as long as we keep working hard, we will live a rich life."

A few people walked around the foot of the North Mountain for about an hour, and then went to the iron shop in the North City.

The buildings at the foot of the West Mountain were the same as those at the foot of the North Mountain, with factories and warehouses, so they went directly to the foot of the East Mountain from the iron shop.

At the foot of the East Mountain, there are brick kilns, wineries, fish farms, warehouses and housing.

Zhao Qianqian focused on taking them to see the brick kiln factory, fish farm and housing, and the warehouse and factory building were about the same as those in Beishan, so they didn't skip it and didn't go to see it.

Zhao Qianqian took a group of people to a two-story courtyard to see the structure of the house.

Shen Junmo stood on Zhao Qianqian's left, Shen Changfeng stood on Zhao Qianqian's right, and Fan Chen was less than three steps away from him.

Shen Mengdie stood in front of Ye Yuxuan, and Jinyu stood in front of Shen Mengdie.

"Sister-in-law, what is this?" Shen Junmo asked, pointing to a steel pipe.

Zhao Qianqian glanced at it: "Oh, this is the water pipe."

"Water pipes, what's the pipe?" Shen Mengdie asked.

Zhao Qianqian pointed to the mountain in front of him: "There are springs on the four mountains of Zhou Wei in Qingyun City, we build a pool at the spring on the mountain, and then use this steel pipe to lead the water to each household, the need for water is to unscrew the faucet, no need to tighten the faucet, there is no need for each household to dig a well in the yard, it is not safe to dig a well at home, and it is not as convenient as running water."

Shen Changfeng looked at Zhao Qianqian with a look of adoration: "Sister-in-law, what are you pretending to be in your head, how do you know so much?"

"Obviously something different from your brain!" Jinyu mocked.

Shen Changfeng glanced at her with disgust, and walked around behind Fan Chen: "Ugly girl, stay away from me."

"Who do you say is ugly?" Jinyu rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight Shen Changfeng.

Jinyu is a kung fu person, Shen Changfeng is not her opponent, he can only hide.

"I'll just scold you, ugly girl, ugly girl, what can you do to me." Facing the angry Jinyu, Shen Changfeng kept provoking.

Jinyu was angry, seeing Shen Changfeng put his head on Fan Chen's shoulder and stretched it out, and made a grimace at her, she rolled up her sleeves and pounced on her, Shen Changfeng was in a hurry and pushed Fan Chen forward.

Suddenly, the whole world fell silent.

Everyone held their breath.

Jinyu fell on her back and fell at Ye Yuxuan's feet, Fan Chen's whole person pressed on her, the two stared wide, and kissed each other mouth to mouth.

This is exactly the same as the last time in the Chenxi Teahouse, except that last time it was Fan Chen below and Jinyu on top.

Looking at Shen Mengdie again, she hugged Ye Yuxuan's neck with both hands, clamped her legs around Ye Yuxuan's waist, and hung on Ye Yuxuan's body, with her head firmly attached to Ye Yuxuan's shoulder.

Ye Yuxuan looked frightened, raised his hands, and didn't dare to reach out to hug the person hanging on his body.

Shen Changfeng opened his mouth wide, raised his hands, and maintained a pushing posture.

Shen Junmo reacted, and he exclaimed, "Dream Butterfly!" And step over and take his sister from the night

Yu Xuan took it down.

The silence was broken by Shen Junmo's exclamation, and Fan Chen suddenly withdrew his mouth and quickly pulled Jinyu up.

Shen Junmo glared at Shen Changfeng fiercely: "Go back and clean you up!"

Shen Mengdie was so ashamed that she couldn't do it, and hid behind Zhao Qianqian with her head down.

Looking at this embarrassing atmosphere, Zhao Qianqian stretched out his hand and pulled Shen Mengdie: "Hehe, accident! Accidentally! Pure accident!"

She pulled Shen Mengdie to Jinyu's side: "Everyone is tired, I invite everyone to go to the barbecue, and then go to my house to play, I will sing to everyone."

Shen Changfeng immediately ignored the trouble he had just broken into, and followed behind Zhao Qianqian: "Sister-in-law, do you still sing?"

"Well, I can sing many, many songs," she replied as she led Jinyu and Shen Mengdie towards the carriage.

Shen Junmo glanced at Ye Yuxuan and Fan Chen coldly, and followed towards the carriage.

Leaving Ye Yuxuan and Fan Chen a little messy in the wind.

Zhao Qianqian's carriage slowly drove towards the city, she lifted the curtain, and saw that the two were still standing.

"How long are you two going to stand?" Keep up, it's going to be dark if you stand any further."

Zhao Qianqian put down the curtain, regardless of whether the two of them followed.

The two looked at each other and got into the carriage.

The group learned while roasting in the barbecue restaurant, learned, and ate, and returned to the Zhao family's courtyard with satisfaction.

Zhao Qianqian entered the house and took out a guqin and put it in the middle of the yard.

Ye Qianfan brought two tables, one in the corridor on one side, and put fruits, nuts, and kiwi fruit stuffing.

Xiao Chaoyang took Zhao Yuqingyao and Zhao Guo to bring chairs and put them around the table.

The frost makes a stove, and the apricots make tea.

The old man secretly took a pot of wine and put it on the table.

Ye Qianfan went to call Leng Yu, and Leng Yu brought a few more brothers over.

In fact, in addition to the few people Leng Yu brought into the yard, there were more than a dozen people arranged on the roof.

Zhao Qianqian put three particularly bright lanterns in the yard, illuminating the entire courtyard as if it were day.

Jinyu ordered someone to go and get her flute.

Fan Chen went to the teahouse to get his flute, and invited the money shopkeeper by the way.

Zhao Qianqian is both a host and a singer.

First of all, Jinyu's brisk flute music, her flute sound is light and beautiful, setting off the atmosphere of the party.

Then Shen Mengdie played Shen Junmo's sword dance.

Then there is Zhao Qianqian, who sings "Wishing you prosperity."

Her singing suddenly detonated the scene, and there was a lot of joy.

Just as everyone was intoxicated, a group of people suddenly broke in.

The leader was actually Master Chen, followed by Zhao Siye.

When they entered the courtyard, they did not go down the hallway, nor did they watch the performances inside, but stood respectfully on either side of the entrance.

Immediately after that, a man wearing a hat with a veil came in, although he was covering his face, but he couldn't hide his noble and noble bearing.
