Qi Da rubbed his hands and said, "It's just, it's a little bit of other use, if you don't sell it, uncle, do you think it's okay?"

Li Zheng didn't know what to think, and said, "It's not impossible, but you have to pay the money for the silkworm seeds, and besides, don't shout everywhere."

Qi Daodao: "We don't shout! Don't tell anyone!"

"Alright then, just go back and bring me the money." After Li Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Chen's and told him again, "Don't mention it to anyone!"

Chen hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't worry, none of us will mention this matter!"

"You must remember to pick cocoons, and the movements of your hands should be gentle."

Qi Lele said, and pointed to another place: "If you want to pick this yellow cocoon, it is not yellow enough yet, so you have to wait."

"Before picking cocoons, pick out dead silkworms and rotten cocoons, and if there are silkworm dung and other debris, try to pick them out as much as possible."

"The cocoons that have been picked should be gently placed on a thin plaque, and then placed in a second layer after they are full. It can't be stacked too high, a thin plaque can be placed in two or three layers at most."

Behind her, there were several people, large and small, all of whom listened attentively, and even Su Yaxian came to join in the fun.

"In addition, if you see some silkworm cocoons that are obviously larger, you should also pick them out separately, maybe it is a double palace cocoon."

"What is a twin cocoon?"

Qi Lele smiled, "The Shuanggong Cocoon is a cocoon of two or more silkworms together, so it has to be bigger. We use checkered clusters, one lattice for a silkworm, and it shouldn't be likely that there will be a double cocoon, but if there is, we have to pick it out."

"Good!"

After listening, everyone scattered in all directions, each guarding a bunch of checkered clusters and began to pick and choose.

Qi Lele pondered while picking up the cocoon.

If this fresh silkworm cocoon wants to be stored for a long time, it needs special equipment to dry or cryostore, which is obviously not possible at present.

Then only timely cooking and drawing of cocoons is the best policy.

When Qi Lele was first sent to her grandmother, her grandmother supported her by raising silkworms and selling raw silk.

It's just that later the technology became more and more advanced, and the machine gradually replaced the labor, and the grandmother had only one person, and she had to take care of the small ones, and the income became less and less, so she simply changed her career and opened a small restaurant.

So Qi Lele is most familiar with silk reeling.

Wait until you finish picking the cocoons today, and start cooking the cocoons tomorrow!

"Tomorrow?"

Qi Lele nodded: "The cocoon can't be left for long."

Xie Zi'an said, "Then I won't go out tomorrow."

Since Qi Lele decided to build a few small factories two days ago, Xie Zi'an has not been idle, and has been discussing the drawings with Qi Lele at night, and he has to go to the place to build the factory during the day.

After all, some of the existing products at home are edible and some are toxic chemicals, which cannot be produced together.

The most difficult point is that the factory building, which has a simple and crude design and no aesthetic appeal, has to choose a place that is inconspicuous enough not to be disliked by Xie Dai.

After choosing a place, Xie Zi'an had to supervise the work in person, just because this time, even the middle-aged craftsman refused to do it.

"Eldest Prince, with all due respect, do you think it is appropriate to put this row of houses in the same place as your family's mansion?"

Xie Zi'an said, "It's not suitable, that's why I need your help to make this mansion more suitable for the entire mansion."

Middle-aged craftsman: "......"

This kind of straight row of houses, where can it be called a house?

"Why didn't the eldest prince build a courtyard? What can we do with this abrupt horizontal row, empty in front and back?"

Xie Zi'an said, "That's what you want. In the future, if it is not enough, add a row of stools at random in front and back. If you build a yard, it might be more convenient than this."

The middle-aged craftsman said, "The yard is also very convenient, if it is not enough, just surround the yard outside the yard, isn't it?"

"There must be an empty space around the circle; And so on and so on and so on,

It only takes one to face an open space."

The middle-aged craftsman was speechless, he actually felt that Xie Zi'an was reasonable!

No, no, no! This is absolutely not a no-go! This kind of house is uglier than that staff dormitory! If he responds, the old class master will definitely kick him out of the Chinese class!

"Or, when the house is built, the eldest prince will ask someone to make a painting on the wall?"

「……」

After hearing this, Qi Lele leaned back with a smile: "So, did he finally agree?"

"What do you think, ma'am?"

Qi Lele laughed and didn't forget to pat his ass: "Xianggong is out of the horse, that will definitely be able to convince him!"

Xie Zi'an slowly pulled her under him: "I don't know how Madame will treat her?"

Qi Lele hurriedly raised his hand to support him: "Not tonight! Tomorrow, I still have to take a smoking, I have to save some physical strength!"

"Oh?"

"I really didn't lie to you this time, you'll find out tomorrow when you watch it."

Xie Zi'an slowly picked the loophole in her words: "This time?"

Qi Lele secretly said that it was not good, and said with a smile: "I didn't lie to you before!"

"Madame, guess do I believe it or not?"

「……」

After agreeing to a bunch of unequal terms that humiliated the country, Qi Lele was finally let go, nestled in someone's arms and fell asleep gritting his teeth and hatred.

Early the next morning, Qi Le was woken up by Aunt Wang before dawn.

Xie Zi'an beside him was no longer visible, thinking that he was taking a few younger siblings to "morning exercise".

Normally, it would be at least an hour before they returned.

Qi Lele wants this time difference.

This time, because there are not many cocoons, Qi Lele plans to reel silk in the kitchen.

Since they moved over, this kitchen has not been used, and there are all kinds of stoves and iron pots in it, and the area is not small, enough for a few people to turn around.

When she entered the kitchen, she unexpectedly saw that Granny Du was also there, still followed by Autumn Leaves and Frost.

"Granny Du, why are you here!"

Granny Du smiled: "I heard that the young lady wants to smoke silk, and the old man is cheeky, and she also wants to come and observe it."

Qi Lele said: "Then I will talk ahead, you can only watch, you can't do it yourself."

"Okay, it's all up to the young lady's arrangement."

In addition to Granny Du, the three of them are Du Qiuliang's sister Du Qiurong, and as for Aunt Du, she was busy leading people to continue making sesame oil and sesame paste, and she couldn't pull away.

Qi Lele silently recalled the demographic composition of his family and found that the proportion of women was really low!

I am afraid that I will have to invite someone from the village to do this silk reeling work.

Just when Qi Lele rolled up his sleeves and was about to start working, Su Yaxian swayed over slowly, accompanied by Su Yi's mother-in-law Feng Bijun.

Facing Qi Lele's gaze, Feng Bijun smiled magnificently: "I heard my wife say that you need some physical strength to do this work, so I'll also join in the fun."
